Chapter 274 - 274 Life

274 Life-Saving Straw

Hearing this, Shan Yue understood that Tang Li could still maintain such a mentality in the end. It turned out that she had placed her last hope on Cheng Yue. Little did she know that her last straw of hope had long been cut off by Shan Yue. Cheng Yue had already joined Shan Yue’s side.

Shan Yue did not hide her disdain at all. She only sneered and ignored them. Instead, she casually flipped through the information she was about to prepare.

Tang Xia glanced sideways and her tone began to carry a hint of anger. “Why, President Shan? She’s already chosen to lower her head and admit defeat to accept reality. How much more do you want to press on?”

“Uncle Tang, don’t misunderstand me.” The corners of Shan Yue’s lips curled up playfully. “I’ve always insisted on being lenient when possible. However, Miss Tang actually hopes that Cheng Yue can save her life in the end. This is really a little wishful thinking. Instead of having such thoughts, why don’t you think about what to do when the court session starts?”

“Miss Shan, what do you mean? Isn’t the final sentence based on the judge’s punishment? Could it be that you’ve already…”

During the conversation, a fatal thought suddenly flashed through Tang Xia’s mind. In an instant, his pupils could not help but widen. He raised one hand and pointed at her, looking at everything in front of him in disbelief.

This action did not last for more than a few seconds before Tang Xia collapsed on the sofa with his hands behind his head. This kind of blow was not only difficult to accept the reality in front of him, but it was also unimaginable that he had fought for decades, but in the end, he could not defeat a fledgling child. The firm will in his heart was pierced by a sharp sword and instantly shattered.

Tang Li, who was standing, did not understand what was going on immediately. She quickly helped her father up, her eyes filled with panic. “Dad, what happened to you? Why did you suddenly become like this?”

“Miss Tang, let me tell you what’s going on. The judge you have high hopes for, Mr. Cheng Yue, is actually my man. You can refuse my request and take the blame and go to jail, but things aren’t as simple as you think.”

Tang Xia naturally could not answer Tang Li’s question immediately, so Shan Yue tidied her clothes and stood up.

She raised her eyes and smiled with a powerful aura. “With the evidence, as a public figure in the central city of the Federation, you instigated your assistant to take the blame for you. Coupled with the fact that you smuggled a large number of firearms, it’s 100% impossible for you to be released from prison in two to three years. With your serious circumstances, it’s not a problem for you to stay in prison for six to seven years. Moreover, since the judge is also my person, as long as you dare to walk out of here and continue the court session today, you’ll definitely be sentenced to life imprisonment.”

After hearing this, Tang Li was not defeated like her father because she knew that she had to be strong at this moment. Her father had already lost his fighting spirit. If even she fell, the Tang Corporation would really be finished.

“Why…” Tang Li’s trembling lips under her slightly red eyes slowly opened. “Why is your target me? At the beginning of your career, your ambition was already on the leading companies. There are countless entrepreneurs of all sizes in the federal city. Why did you choose me?”

Shan Yue did not answer Tang Li’s question immediately. She just turned around and recalled the past carefully.

From the initial assassination of Dong Yan in danger to the news of Zhou Xuan hiring someone to kill him, and finally the competition for the Las Vegas project. All of this was related to the Tang Corporation. However, Shan Yue still held back and did not say all of this.

She said calmly, “If you want to ask why, Miss Tang can only admit that you’re unlucky. Only people with dirty foundations can give me an opportunity. You should know that competition in the business world is so cruel. The fittest survive, and weak companies can’t survive for long. Similarly, capable companies need to develop, and the Tang Corporation will become a stepping stone on my development path. In order to succeed, I have no choice but to wrong President Tang.”
