"I said, because someone accused you of money laundering, the Swiss court froze your trust fund." The person on the other end of the phone shrugged and said regretfully, "So we can't do anything to your trust fund for the time being. You can't change the beneficiary or withdraw the proceeds, so from now on, until the court's freeze order is lifted, we won't transfer your proceeds to your bank account."
Luo Jialan's pupils constricted. "I can't withdraw the proceeds either?! Isn't it illegal for you not to transfer the money to me?! What are the terms of the trust fund?! You have to transfer a certain percentage of the proceeds to me every month! "
"Yes, that's right, but this clause can't conflict with the court's order. When the court issues an order, we must give priority to satisfying the court's requirements. This is also one of the terms of the trust fund."
Luo Jialan clenched her fists tightly and closed her eyes.
There were so many words in those terms, and she wasn't confident that she had read them!
There was actually such a trap waiting for her …
"… I haven't laundered money, don't slander me!" Luo Jialan gritted her teeth. "I want to find a lawyer. Who is framing me?!"
"No comment on that. You can contact the court. Of course you have to find a lawyer. Otherwise, are you going to respond to the lawsuit yourself? " The trust fund's custodian manager said politely, "Okay, I still have something to do. I'll hang up first. If you need anything, email me." After saying that, he hung up without hesitation.
Ever since Luo Jialan inherited the trust fund, this was the first time she had been treated so rudely by the custodian there.
While she was angry, she also felt a trace of panic.
What was going on?
Why did they suddenly accuse her of "laundering money"?
She could swear to God that she had never laundered money!
In a moment of desperation, Luo Jialan dialed Cai Shengnan's number.
"Lawyer Cai, there's something you have to help me with. Hurry up! I can't wait! "Luo Jialan said in a panic." Can you contact the Swiss court right away … "
"Wait, what happened to you? Why are you contacting the Swiss court? " Cai Shengnan's expression was also very ugly. "I just received a subpoena from the imperial court. Song Jinning's lawsuit against you for intentional homicide has been filed by the court."
"What?!" Luo Jialan's voice rose again, trembling intermittently, like the yellow leaves on the ground being swept up by a whirlwind and shattered into pieces.
This was simply like a leaky roof met with continuous rain, a ship late and then met with the first wind.
Blessings never come in pairs, but misfortunes never come singly!
Luo Jialan was anxious. "Didn't you say that they didn't have evidence, that the prosecutor wouldn't accept it, and that the court wouldn't file a case?! What was going on? Did they use the Huo family's power to force the court to file a case against me?! "
Cai Shengnan looked at the subpoena with a gloomy expression and nodded. "I guess they used their power for personal gain and obstructed justice!"
"Despicable! How could they do this?! "Luo Jialan waved her fist fiercely." I won't let them succeed! "
"Don't worry, I've already contacted the media. The Huo family will have to bear the consequences." Cai Shengnan smiled.
Gu Nianzhi, let's see how much longer you can be so arrogant!
Cai Shengnan's aunt, Cai Songyin, was originally a big shot in the media world and had the title of "Queen of the Media".
Unfortunately, because of her uncle-in-law, Tan Dongbang's connections, the court convicted her of election bribery and manipulation of the general election. The assets of the companies that participated in election bribery and manipulation of the general election were confiscated. She was sentenced to five years in prison, suspended for a year, and forced to retire.
Cai Songyin was now living in seclusion at home and was under surveillance.
However, although she couldn't appear in person, she could still use the connections and resources she had accumulated over the years.
Cai Shengnan said, "I'll contact the media right away."
"When will the domestic case be heard?" Luo Jialan rubbed her temples. She was in a bad mood.
"In two weeks." Cai Shengnan chuckled. "That's really early."
"Then put it aside for now. Help me find out what's going on with the Swiss court. How could my trust fund be suspected of money laundering?! There's nothing like that! If there is, it's the trusteeship agency who did it. It has nothing to do with me! "
Cai Shengnan nodded. "With one more lawsuit, we have to sign an additional attorney's agreement."
"I'll sign, I'll sign, I'll sign right away. Hurry up and help me settle the case in Switzerland. " Luo Jialan said anxiously, "I can't wait a moment longer. They've already frozen my trust fund."
The smile on Cai Shengnan's face didn't change. "Okay, I'll send you our new attorney's agreement right away."
Not long after, Luo Jialan received a new attorney's agreement from Cai Shengnan. It was a case against the Swiss court trust fund.
When Luo Jialan saw the advance payment on it, her head buzzed, and her vision went black.
She immediately called Cai Shengnan again and said angrily, "You can explain this case by writing a letter. Why did you receive so much advance payment?!"
The last case related to Song Jinning, Cai Shengnan received an advance payment of one million US dollars from her.
This time, it was five million US dollars!
"Hehe, Miss Luo, I'm afraid you don't know that cases related to the economy are actually charged according to a certain percentage of the value of the subject matter. For example, if your trust fund is 10 million, I'll charge one million. If it's 100 million, I'll charge 10 million. If it's 1 billion, I'll charge 100 million for consulting fees. Your trust fund has more than 1 billion euros in capital, right? I'll only charge you an advance payment of 5 million US dollars, which is already a friendly price. "
Cai Shengnan said calmly, not caring about Luo Jialan's impolite tone at all.
Luo Jialan was dumbfounded.
If she could collect so much money, why didn't she go rob someone?!
However, at this juncture, she managed to hold back the anger in her heart.
She took a deep breath and said, "Okay, five million it is. I'll transfer it to you right away. Hurry up and settle the Swiss court for me. Explain that I've never laundered money at all. That's a false accusation! "
Cai Shengnan looked at the freezing order issued by the Swiss court while checking the case filing number. Then, she found the case code related to Luo Jialan.
Her face turned green when she saw the lawyer's signature on it.
It was Gu Nianzhi again!
Was this woman trying to pick a fight with her?!
Cai Shengnan skimmed through all the complaints and called Luo Jialan with a cold face.
"The other party's complaint states that you transferred a large sum of money to a German bank account last year and are suspected of money laundering."
Luo Jialan became even more flustered. "Wh … What?! What transfer?! Why don't I remember? "
Her teeth were chattering, and her mind was filled with the thought, How is that possible? How is that possible?
How did they know?
Why would they look into something that happened almost a year ago?!
Didn't they say that users had a right to privacy?
How could others know about her fund account movements?!
Luo Jialan angrily punched the wall of the ward. "That trust fund custodian really tricked me! They even told others about this kind of thing! I'm going to sue them! "
Cai Shengnan calmly corrected her, "This isn't a trust fund scamming you, but according to the European Union's anti-money laundering law, such a large cross-border transfer of funds must be reported to the bank regulator. The other party claimed that they found the information from the bank regulator and had nothing to do with your trust fund custodian. "
"Then what should I do?" Luo Jialan withered and leaned against the wall weakly. She couldn't even stand steadily.
"What should I do? Just explain to the court what that transfer was for, "Cai Shengnan said casually. She didn't think it was a big deal.
There were a lot of rich people who transferred money across borders. It was just a routine questioning by the court. They all liked to use "money laundering" to bluff, but most of them were false alarms.
"What … What was it for? Do I have to say it? Isn't this my personal privacy? "Luo Jialan stammered.
She couldn't say that it was to fund someone to get rid of Gu Nianzhi, could she?!
Wouldn't that mean that she had hired someone to kill her?!
This was a more serious crime than money laundering..
What should she do?
This was giving her a choice. Did she want money or her life?!
Who was so crafty? Who hated her so much?
From this angle, no matter how she responded, there would be a huge pit waiting for her to jump into!
Did they want her to die?!
