Chapter 568 Contemporary Pan Jinlian?
After receiving Qin Hao's counterclaim, Lan Hong knew very well that if he applied for property freeze again, it would most likely be rejected by the court. Sun Chaoyue had a will in hand. If he could not prove that the will was false, he would win the lawsuit. The odds are slim.
So Lan Hong took the initiative to contact the media to build momentum and portray herself as a victim.
Lan Hong told a story to the media. Her husband’s body was still cold, and her brother-in-law bullied her orphaned daughter and widowed mother into seizing the inheritance and driving them out of the house.
Ten billion inheritance, a woman with a child of several years old, being bullied by her young brother-in-law, these keywords were superimposed and quickly became a hot word on the Internet.
"Sure enough, this rich man is cruel. After all, he is his sister-in-law. Even for the sake of his child, he can't be so heartless, right?"
"Haha, that's tens of billions of assets, who wouldn't be tempted?"
"I used to watch the internal strife of wealthy families unfold in Xiangjiang, but I didn't expect it to start in the Mainland as well. From another perspective, does it mean that the Mainland has really become rich?"
Sun Chaoyue was very angry and slapped his desk and shouted: "Slander, slander!"
"Director Qin, I want to sue them!"
Qin Hao nodded calmly: "Of course, you can sue anyone if you want."
When a person is angry, don't persuade him to stay rational, otherwise you will become his target.
When Sun Chaoyue gradually calmed down, he gritted his teeth and said: "Lan Hong, this bitch, wants to use this method to force me to submit. In my dreams, my brother and I founded the Haohan Chaoyue Group from scratch. I will not give her any share! No!" It’s just to play with public opinion, if I throw money at her to death, I don’t believe anyone can have a grudge against money!”
Qin Hao reminded: "If you start a rumor, you will lose your legs if you refute it. Now, no matter how you explain it, others will think you are quibbling."
"Then what do you think we should do?" Sun Chaoyue tugged on his tie irritably.
Qin Hao said calmly: "Blue and red can guide public opinion, can't we?"
"How to guide?" Sun Chaoyue asked curiously.
Qin Hao smiled: "Didn't Lan Hong tell the media a story about a brother-in-law who bullied an orphan and a widowed mother? If we tell the story of a gold-worshiping girl who has been committed to a rich man for more than ten years, but the rich man died and gave the family property to her younger brother, the gold-worshiping girl's plan came to nothing. Do you think netizens are interested in the story?"
Sun Chaoyue's eyes lit up: "High, really high!"
Compared with Lan Hong, Sun Chaoyue was naturally merciless when it came to spending money. Soon the direction of public opinion began to change. Many netizens were very interested in the story of a gold digger who was prostituted for free.
"Haha, rich people are not stupid these days. You want his money, and he wants your body. You really think that marrying into a rich family will make you a rich man. You deserve to be kicked out."
"Isn't that right? Today's little girls don't have a clue. Do they really think that they can jump up a branch and become a phoenix just because they are pretty? People have been wary of you for a long time."
"I'm glad to hear it. I hope there will be more news like this in the future, otherwise the social atmosphere will be ruined."
Lan Hong was originally proud that she had the advantage in public opinion, thinking that Sun Chaoyue would have to take the initiative to reconcile with her in a few days. However, before she could be happy for a long time, she found that the direction of public opinion had completely changed, and even her true identity had changed. They were all picked out, and someone else got her phone number from unknown sources. She received dozens of harassing calls every day.
Some of these harassing calls were scolding her, and some even directly asked how much money could be paid to support her. Lan Hong was so angry that she smashed her phone.
Seeing that the pressure from public opinion was ineffective and the court date was getting closer and closer, Lan Hong gritted her teeth and returned to the room to change into a high-end dress and put on the most exquisite makeup.
"Sister, where are you going?" Lan Lan asked curiously.
Lan Hong fiddled with her hair in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction. Although her skin's luster had declined compared to when she was in her twenties, her charm remained the same.
"I have an appointment tonight, you can eat at home."
"oh."
In a high-end western restaurant, there was no one during meal time, but there was a fully booked sign on the door.
Lan Hong looked at Luo Bin, who was walking towards him in a suit and leather tie, with an intoxicating smile on his face.
"Come on, sit down."
Luo Bin hesitated for a moment, then sat down opposite Lan Hong. He seemed to be aware of Lan Hong's hot gaze, and awkwardly wanted to change the subject: "It's just a meal, there's no need to book the entire restaurant, right?"
Lan Hong smiled sweetly: "I just don't want people to disturb us, just like they did at your house last time."
She bumped into Qin Hao at Luo Bin's house twice in succession, so Lan Hong changed her strategy this time and asked Luo Bin out alone. Moreover, she felt that she was in conflict with Qin Hao. As long as Qin Hao was around, what would happen to her? Neither goes well.
Luo Bin's eyes were a little dazed. The beautiful young woman in front of him and the sunshine girl seemed to have broken the time barrier at this moment and overlapped in front of him.
"What's the matter with asking me out alone?"
After a moment of trance, Luo Bin finally regained his senses. Lan Hong was no longer the sunshine girl of the past, and he was no longer the innocent boy he was before.
A trace of unwillingness flashed in Lan Hong's eyes. Could it be that his charm has declined?
"Can't I treat you to dinner if I have nothing to do?" Lan Hong said delicately.
Luo Bin avoided Lan Hong's gaze and changed the subject: "This steak seems good. I happen to be hungry too, so I won't be polite."
Lan Hong was not in a hurry, her eyes were like looking at the prey that was about to fall into a trap.
Under Lan Hong's frequent toasts, Luo Bin also drank a lot. His drinking capacity has always been average. After a few glasses of wine, he was already a little tipsy.
Seeing that the time was right, Lan Hong also pretended to be drunk and started the memory killing.
"Luo Bin, do you remember when we were in college?"
The good things of the past kept flooding into her heart, and Luo Bin also began to have feelings for her.
"How could I forget that we met and fell in love for eight years in the summer of my freshman semester?"
Lan Hong cooperates with Luo Bin to recall the good times, as if the two of them have really returned to their wonderful college days.
Until Lan Hong suddenly said something that woke Luo Bin up from his beautiful fantasy.
"Luo Bin, let's get married."
Lan Hong didn't notice the surprise in Luo Bin's eyes, and was busy weaving a better future: "Back then, if we could have matured a little, we should be a very happy couple now, with a big house and a couple of ourselves. "In the future, my daughter will be a lawyer and my son will be a doctor."
"Fortunately, it's not too late. We still have a chance to make up for past regrets."
Luo Bin also struggled in his heart, but it was more of a resistance. He was no longer the green young man who could run two kilometers away to buy breakfast with just a word from Lan Hong.
"Let bygones be bygones."
Lan Hong looked at Luo Bin in shock. Only then did she realize that the dream she had weaved did not seem to deceive Luo Bin, but instead deceived herself.
"Are you in love with someone else again?"
Luo Bin shook his head, met Lan Hong's tearful eyes, and said word for word: "Lan Hong, I understand you, and sometimes I even understand you better than you do yourself."
"I don't understand what you are talking about." A flash of panic flashed in Lan Hong's eyes, and he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, looking delicate.
Luo Bin poured himself another sip of wine. He was afraid that he would not have the courage to speak out what was in his heart.
"You want me to steal Sun Haohan's will, right?"
Lan Hong felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his chest felt as if he had been hit by a hammer weighing several dozen kilograms. His originally rosy cheeks instantly turned pale.
"How. How can you miss me so much?"
Luo Bin said bitterly: "Lan Hong, actually since the last time you came to my house for Sun Haohan, I know that you are a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve your goals, and you have never taken the feelings between us into your heart, but I I still advise myself not to think so badly of you. I advise myself that you had to do this because you were in such an environment."
"Until you proposed to marry me, Lanhong, did you know that you are a very proud person, how could you turn back? Doesn't that mean your original decision was wrong? You never admit your mistakes, Ever since college."
Luo Bin's barrage of soul questioning made Lan Hong's eyes start to wander. Before Lan Hong could recover, Luo Bin continued to speak.
"According to your current situation, the only one that can allow you to spend such a large amount of money is Sun Haohan's will. As long as the will is gone and the evidence chain is missing, you have the possibility of overturning the situation. A tens of billions inheritance is indeed very tempting. Even I’m a little moved.”
After Luo Bin finished speaking, he wiped the corners of his eyes and stood up to leave without hesitation. Lan Hong woke up, grabbed Luo Bin and begged.
"Luo Bin, listen to me. It's not what you think. I'm just making plans for our future. I can get at least half of the 10 billion. That's 5 billion. It will last for the rest of our lives and even our future." All children can live a life of good food and clothing.”
Before Lan Hong could finish describing the beautiful life in the future, Luo Bin shook off Lan Hong's hand and said something in a cold tone.
"Five billion is indeed a lot, but it still can't buy my conscience."
Looking at Luo Bin's decisive departure, Lan Hong froze on the spot in despair. In the empty western restaurant, only the melodious piano music was echoing.
After coming out of the restaurant, Luo Bin took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
"I really guessed it. Come to my house and have a drink with me."
The owner of this number is naturally Qin Hao. Unfortunately, Lan Hong happened to be in Qin Hao's office when she called Luo Bin.
Qin Hao naturally had to vaccinate Luo Bin. Of course, Qin Hao also believed that even if he didn't vaccinate, Luo Bin would not do such a stupid thing for Lan Hong. It would have been almost the same more than ten years ago.
Lan Hong, who had been hungover all night, didn't know that Sun Chaoyue had already released a second bombshell. Of course, at Qin Hao's request, Luo Bin's information characteristics were hidden.
When Lan Hong woke up at noon the next day, the Internet had already exploded.
"That ex's buddy should be really lucky. Fortunately, he didn't get married. Otherwise, the house might be gone now."
"Isn't that right? Just look at her methods. Whoever marries her will have to take off their pants."
"Fortunately, I'm poor and can't even afford a house. I'm afraid of getting married every day."
"Speaking of which, have you ever thought about whether the death of this billionaire was this woman?"
"Fuck, when you said that, I got chills down my spine. If it were true, wouldn't it be too vicious? Isn't this the modern Pan Jinlian?"
"So, poor people should not play with high matchmaking, and no, rich people should not play with it either, otherwise they might even lose their lives."
With the heated discussion among netizens, the keyword "contemporary Pan Jinlian" quickly rushed to the hot search list. Some people even called the police to ask the police to check whether Sun Haohan's death was a criminal case.
Looking at the overwhelming abuse on the Internet, Lan Hong's eyes darkened and she fainted.
"Sister, are you okay, sister?" Lan Lan shook Lan Hong's body. Seeing that she was still unconscious, she quickly called the emergency number.
After hesitating for a moment, Lan Lan called He Sai's phone again and asked for help.
When Lan Hong woke up, He Sai was sitting on the sofa in the ward discussing the progress of the case with Lan Lan.
"Sister, you finally woke up, but you scared me to death." Lan Lan was visibly relieved to see her sister awake.
Lan Hong didn't bother to chat with her, but said to He Daozuo eagerly: "Lawyer He, can you help me win this lawsuit?"
He Sai was secretly proud. In the end, you still have to beg me.
"Ahem, Lanhong, you are also a lawyer. You should know very well that if this lawsuit is to be fought, your chances of winning are not high."
Lan Lan kept tugging on He Sai's sleeves, but He Sai continued to talk to himself.
"To be precise, Sun Haohan's will is very detrimental to you. Even if I were to fight this lawsuit, I would only have a winning rate of less than 20%."
Lan Hong stared at He Sai coldly: "You might as well say that I will lose."
"In fact, if it were someone else, like you, they might not even have a 10% winning rate." He Sai, as always, likes to put a knife in the heart of others.
Lan Lan couldn't stand it anymore: "Lawyer He!"
Facing Lan Lan, He Sai patiently explained: "I have to let your sister understand the current situation, otherwise she is likely to make a wrong judgment."
Lan Hong rubbed her swollen temples and took a deep breath: "Tell me where the 20% winning rate comes from."
"Although Sun Chaoyue has Sun Haohan's will in his hand, let's put it another way. When Sun Haohan was seriously ill, Sun Chaoyue blocked your visits many times and transferred the patient privately. Can we have reason to suspect that Sun Haohan might be in the hospital? Were you forced to sign this will?”
After hearing what He Sai said, Lan Hong couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
"Once Sun Haohan's will is determined to have been signed under duress, then the will will be invalid. According to the inheritance law, you will be the first-in-line heir, and your daughter will also be the second-in-line heir. At least we can get 70% of Sun Haohan’s inheritance.”
Jose said proudly.
Lan Lan raised a question: "But how can the court determine that Sun Haohan was coerced?"
"This requires us to collect evidence. There must be some clues about the hospital where Sun Haohan was hospitalized, right?" He Sai's tone was not as confident as before.
Lan Hong slapped her thigh: "Lawyer He, let's sign the contract."
