Chapter 38 The mole's cooperation led to defeat? The Su Group will not appeal!

"Su Qiaoer, are you also following this court hearing?" Zheng Tian looked at Su Qiaoer, who had been staring at her phone screen, and asked curiously. Hearing this, Su Qiaoer nodded.

"Yeah, just paying attention. Let's see how it ends."

"What else could happen? Zheng Group is definitely going to lose. Seriously, do you really think Zheng Jie can get whatever he wants? That's impossible. Just wait and see, I guarantee Zheng Jie will lose miserably this time. Wanting money? Keep dreaming."

Zheng Tian's tone was full of disdain when he spoke.

For some time now, Zheng Tian had been completely suppressed by Zheng Jie. Now that there was a chance to see Zheng Jie lose—even if it wouldn't be a devastating blow—Zheng Tian felt happy just seeing him lose. Hearing this, Su Qiaoer sighed.

"Who knows."

"Zheng Jie has created too many miracles lately. What if this is another miracle he's created?"

Su Qiaoer's tone was filled with mixed emotions as she spoke.

After all, Zheng Jie was too miraculous.

When everyone thought he would obediently leave Zheng Group, he suddenly struck back and seized the position of chairman for himself. Some people thought he wouldn't be able to hold onto the chairman's position, but all of Father Zheng's plans failed. Honestly, Su Qiaoer felt that Zheng Jie had been invincible lately, giving people the impression that this person was truly formidable. Hearing this, Zheng Tian chuckled.

"Miraculous? Pfft, just wait. He's doomed to lose."

Actually, the outcome of this matter was basically set; the so-called court hearing was just going through the motions.

The legal team on Zheng Jie's side and the team on Su Group's side debated each other. Honestly, the Legal Department of Zheng Group was more formidable. Although the final result wouldn't change because of the debate, in terms of the overall situation, Su Group was being suppressed by Zheng Group. They were barely struggling, but the extent of their struggle was extremely limited; they were basically pressed down the moment they tried to struggle.

Finally, the verbal sparring between the two sides came to an end.

"Please wait for one hour. After one hour, the court will officially deliver its verdict."

After saying this, the legal teams from both Su Group and Zheng Group returned to their respective rooms to wait for the hour to pass.

Ten-plus minutes later, Su Qiaoer dialed the number of the Chairman of Su Group.

"Chairman Su, it's like this: we are currently in the recess stage. In one hour, the verdict will be officially delivered."

Hearing this, Su Qiaoer frowned slightly.

"So, how is it looking?"

"It's currently unknown."

Su Qiaoer would never have guessed that the person she believed would never betray her had already betrayed her at this moment.

The reason the other party said this now was so that she wouldn't discover any problems yet. Once the verdict was out, then they would let her know.

"If there is any news, you must tell me immediately, do you hear me?"

"Understood, Chairman Su. Please rest assured."

"Mm."

She hung up.

Su Qiaoer took a deep breath. Her heart was beating very fast, as if something earth-shattering was about to happen.

"Su Qiaoer, what's wrong?"

"I don't know. I just feel my heart beating very fast. I... I must not have rested well."

"Is that so? How about I send you back to rest for a while?"

"No need. It'll only be a little longer. Let's just wait for the news from there."

At this moment, Su Qiaoer furrowed her brows tightly.

This feeling of panic made Su Qiaoer feel uncomfortable.

But it was too late now; she could only wait for the final result.

While Su Qiaoer was focused on this matter, on the other side, Zheng Jie and the others were also paying attention to it.

"Everything has been arranged."

"After the court declares Su Group the loser, Su Group will officially announce that they accept the result and will not file an appeal."

"Immediately after, both sides will communicate regarding the ownership of Su Chemical. As for the contract signed between the Zheng family and Su Group, they will also announce that it has no legal effect."

Zhang Wei laid out the next steps. Hearing this, Zheng Jie crossed his legs.

"Have the board members of Su Group been convinced? If nothing goes wrong, Su Qiaoer definitely won't sit idly by. She will surely find a way to stop all of this."

At this moment, Zheng Jie looked at Zhang Wei.

"Please rest assured, it has all been arranged. 70% of the voting rights in Su Group have been persuaded. As long as we don't change our minds, that chairman's position of hers will definitely be as stable as Mount Tai."

During this time, Zhang Wei had indeed not been idle.

"Very good."

"I am very satisfied."

Zheng Jie nodded as he heard this and said so.

Everything was ready now, only the east wind was missing. Next, it was just a matter of waiting for the court's verdict.

One hour later, both teams returned to the plaintiff and defendant sides. The atmosphere was noticeably tense. The moment the judge stood up, both sides stood up as well.

"Next, this court will deliver the verdict..."

When the other party read the document, it took a very, very long time, but in reality, the most important part was just a few sentences.

"This court declares..."

The moment this sentence came out, everyone widened their eyes because they knew that what followed was the issue everyone cared about most.

"The defendant breached the contract, which does not comply with the contract stipulations. They shall compensate the plaintiff with 168.2 billion in liquidated damages, as well as 82.3 billion for economic losses incurred by the plaintiff during the period of the breach, totaling 250.5 billion."

The moment this sentence came out, the entire defendant team instantly went silent.

What did that mean?

Lost?

How could this be?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

"Plaintiff, do you wish to appeal?"

"No appeal."

Zheng Group had already won, so how could they appeal? Hearing this, the judge nodded, then turned his head to look at the Su Group team on the other side.

"Defendant, do you wish to..."

"Ap..."

Just as the other party was about to say it, the lawyer's phone rang. When he took out his phone and saw the caller ID, he was slightly stunned.

He took a deep breath and quickly answered the call.

"Chairman..."

At this moment, the other party's tone was full of nervousness.

After all... they had lost. They had clearly spoken with certainty that they would win, but who could have imagined that they would actually lose now?

"No appeal."

And from the other end of the phone came a firm voice.
