After the divorce, I started to transfer
Chapter 1596: Twists and turns
The call was from the lawyer who hired the plaintiff, who said that Jerry's father was willing to apologize and compensate the two women, and asked them to state their conditions, which he would try his best to meet as long as he could.
The ultimate goal, of course, is to gain the forgiveness of the two women and then drop the case.
But Chen Feng refused without thinking.
In fact, Chen Feng was not being unreasonable, but Jerry's behavior itself was sexual harassment, and he harassed two women in a row.
Not to mention that Jerry had tried to attack Zhang Jingwen.
No matter which one it is, Chen Feng will never forgive the other party.
He had to let this out, not only because of Zhang Jingwen and Xiao Panpan, but also for himself.
But Chen Feng didn't expect that there were so many hidden plots in this.
He handed the task of punishing the white man Jerry to Zhang Zhiqiang, who then passed it on to Alfred, who then asked the local tyrant for help.
The change in things happened because of this local tyrant.
This local tycoon is Huang Heyang, a business tycoon from Singapore. His business is spread all over the world, and one of his important export businesses falls on Alfred. In particular, he recently wanted to import a batch of high-tech equipment from Merlica, but it has not been approved, which has given him a headache.
Therefore, he really needed the connections at Meilijia to smooth over the links so that he could smoothly import this batch of high-tech equipment from Meilijia.
Apparently, some of the connections he had tried before didn't work, so he naturally thought of his business partner Alfred, because he had a senator wife who had direct access to the White House.
Unfortunately, he also knew that although the two had been business partners for many years, they did not have a very deep personal relationship. If he rashly approached the other party with such a request, the other party would most likely not help.
He was thinking about how to convince Alfred and how to get his wife, Councillor Bellis, to help.
Alfred suddenly called him and asked for help, saying that he wanted help to deal with the white man Jerry. He agreed without hesitation.
Even though Jerry's father is the counselor of the American embassy here, he is not good enough in front of Congressman Bellis.
To put it simply, he believed that the U.S. Embassy would not overreact.
This was indeed the case. He specially sent his nephew to the police station to understand the situation and keep an eye on him. After Jerry was forcibly detained, only Jerry's father was jumping around at the American Embassy. The embassy, especially the ambassador, did not respond at all.
This naturally made Huang Heyang even more worry-free.
What Huang Heyang did first was to use his connections to get the police to forcibly detain Jerry, and then he resisted the protests of Alden, the counselor of the American Embassy.
If it was just out of friendship or a business partnership of many years, it would be enough for him to do this.
But Huang Heyang thought this favor was too light, and was obviously not enough to persuade Alfred and his wife to help him lobby for the release of the batch of high-tech equipment he ordered from Meilijia.
That's why his nephew, the round-faced yellow manager, found the female model Koko and tried to get Jerry punished more severely.
This would undoubtedly make Alfred more satisfied and make him owe him a big favor.
Then, of course, we can talk about that batch of high-tech equipment.
Chen Feng certainly didn't expect there would be such twists and turns, and neither did Alden, Zhang Zhiqiang and Alfred.
I can only say that Jerry had really bad luck this time.
If it was just verbal sexual harassment, even if he was convicted, he would only be detained for ten days or half a month.
But now it's a rape case. If he is convicted, the sentence will be at least two or three years. The nature of the case is completely different.
Alden was originally just worried that his son would be imprisoned for a few weeks, but things took a turn for the worse when Koko went to the police station to accuse Jerry of coercion and rape.
When Alden received the news from his lawyer, he was completely stunned, or rather confused.
He doesn't even believe that his son committed sexual harassment, let alone rape. That is definitely slander.
He soon became furious, thinking that the two women were deliberately framing his son, so he went to Angus again, hoping he could help.
But it was obvious that their friendship had run out, and Angus would not risk his career to help him take the blame.
Alden suddenly felt like he had nowhere to turn to.
He could only rush to the police station to find out the details of the situation as soon as possible. He also obtained Koko's detailed information through certain means.
After leaving the police station, he immediately called Koko and pressed the recording button.
"I'm Jerry's father, and I want to talk to you." Alden suppressed his anger and said directly.
"There's nothing to talk about." Koko hung up the phone directly.
After cursing Bi Chi, Alden called her again, but the call was not blocked. After waiting for a long time, the call was finally connected.
"I don't think we have anything to talk about."
Koko looks like she wants to keep people away.
"I know my son was wrongly accused, so what do you want? If it's money, I can give it to you. Just tell me the amount."
Alden was clearly baiting her.
Koko was not stupid and did not fall for it. She said in a cold voice: "Don't you know what kind of character your son is? He is a pervert. He lied to me from the beginning and said he would take me to live in New York and introduce me to modeling work there, but he never fulfilled his promise.
Later, when I didn't want to continue the relationship, he threatened me with my lost photo to force me to continue the relationship with him. He also used your father's position to pressure me, so I didn't dare to report it to the police. It wasn't until he was accused of sexual harassment and detained that I came to my senses and mustered up the courage to report it to the police. I want him to be punished by law."
Alden resisted the urge to get angry and tried to keep his tone calm: "I know you. You are a model who works part-time as a bartender. I heard Jerry talk about you. We all know that Jerry did not rape you. If you accuse him like this, you will also bear great legal risks. I know you didn't do it on purpose. Someone forced you to do this, right?"
"Sir, I understand your feelings as a father, but you really don't need to deliberately beautify your son. He is a scumbag, isn't he? You should know that too."
This made Alden very angry, but for the sake of his son, he still held back his anger and said through gritted teeth: "What do you want to let my son go? How about $10?"
Koko was immediately moved when she heard that and almost agreed immediately.
But she soon realized that this might be a trap, and the other party was probably recording her and trying to trick her into asking for money.
The risk is too great, it might turn into extortion.
But she really wanted the money, otherwise why would she answer the call and talk so much?
So she said, "I have already reported the case to the police, and the police have also filed a case. Your son's phone contains photos of me being forced to take. There is irrefutable evidence that your son coerced me. After the formal prosecution, I will also file a civil compensation lawsuit. Your son has caused great harm to me physically and mentally."
Alden gritted his teeth and said, "I can give you financial compensation right now, $10, but you must cooperate with me to withdraw the case."
"It's impossible to withdraw the case. The police have already opened a criminal case. How can they withdraw it?"
Koko's idea was simple, to have the best of both worlds, she wanted the money that Manager Huang promised, and she also wanted the compensation from Alden. "Don't worry about it, just cooperate with me and say you did it voluntarily, and that you called the police because you were just angry for a moment."
"Wouldn't that mean I'd be making a false report and framing your son? I might also be sentenced to jail."
"I can give you another $2, for a total of $12."
Koko was silent for a long time. After hesitating for a while, she still felt that Alden was unreliable. If she agreed to take the money now, there might be legal risks.
So, Koko endured the pain and refused outright: "Don't try to bribe me with money. I said your son is a pervert. I didn't frame him, let alone wrong him. That's it, don't contact me anymore."
After saying that, Koko decisively hung up the phone and blocked Alden's phone number.
A bird in the hand is worth more than many in the bush. She has been out in society since she was a teenager and is not an ignorant woman.
She still felt that Manager Huang was more reliable. After the deal was done, if she could get 14 Singapore dollars, it would actually be a lot. By then, she could leave Singapore immediately and the other party would not be able to do anything to her.
Alden was so angry that he wanted to smash the phone, but he finally held back his anger and started looking through his address book and continued to use his connections to try to smooth things over.
……
Chen Feng took the two girls to go shopping at ION Orchard for a while. Each of them bought at least two bags, two lipsticks, two bottles of perfume, two necklaces and three sets of clothes. The total cost was nearly one million.
For most people, spending so much money on these things is really a waste.
But for the two girls who came from wealthy families, spending this amount of money is not really a lot.
Although their usual spending is far less than that of chaebol daughters like Yasui Miho, it is impossible for them to go on a foreign trip and shopping without spending hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Of course, these expenses are a drop in the bucket for Chen Feng now, and he doesn't care at all.
After the two girls satisfied their shopping cravings, it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon. Their relationship suddenly improved, and after discussing for a while, they took Chen Feng to a Thai restaurant in the mall for dinner.
Tom Yum Goong soup, yellow curry beef and freshly squeezed juice all tasted pretty good, but the portions were a bit small and the prices were a bit high.
This is only possible in a top international shopping mall like this. Otherwise, if you go to an ordinary commercial street, the price will definitely not be this high and the portion will be much larger.
After dinner, Xiao Panpan, who usually loves sports including running, suggested walking back to the hotel. It was only more than two kilometers, not far, and it could also burn some calories. She felt she had eaten a little too much tonight.
Zhang Jingwen agreed immediately, and Chen Feng certainly did not refuse.
I walked all the way back to the hotel with the two of them.
As a result, as soon as the three entered the hotel lobby, a middle-aged white foreigner suddenly appeared and stood in front of them.
The two bodyguards who had been useless all this time finally came in handy at this time. They rushed over from behind and stood in front of Chen Feng and the other two.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have no ill intentions. I am Alden, Jerry's father, and I am also the counselor of the American Embassy. I would like to talk to you, is that okay?"
Alden held up his hands in a friendly gesture.
Chen Feng frowned and stared at him, saying, "We have nothing to discuss. Stop pestering us, or your son will have a harder time in there."
Of course Chen Feng disliked Alden very much. It was the father's fault for not raising his son well. Alden was able to raise a son like Jerry, so he was obviously not a good person.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I really want to talk to you sincerely. On behalf of my son, I apologize to you. I also want to gain the forgiveness of the two young ladies. For this, I am willing to pay any price."
Chen Feng ignored him and winked at the two bodyguards, who then pushed Olden, who was blocking the way, aside, allowing Chen Feng and the other two to easily walk past and leave.
Alden felt depressed, but he did not dare to conflict with the two bodyguards because he knew that they were not easy to deal with.
For a moment, he couldn't help feeling sad and had a deep sense of powerlessness and frustration.
Back in the presidential suite, Zhang Jingwen said, "Why don't we go back to China?"
Chen Feng shook his head and said, "This case has not been judged yet. You are the party involved. It is best for you to stay and wait for the result before returning to China."
"How long do I have to wait? If it takes one or two months, should I continue to wait? I can entrust the lawyer with full authority to help handle the case. I don't need to watch over it every day."
After thinking for a while, Chen Feng said, "Since you must go back, just go back first. Your agent and assistant don't need to come over. They haven't boarded the plane yet, right?"
"Probably not yet. The plane is at 6:30 and it hasn't arrived yet at 6 o'clock. Tell them now, they should be able to make it in time."
"Then you should inform them now."
"What about you? Aren't you going back with me?"
"I have other things to do here. Also, you forgot what I told you last time, that after I finish my work in Singapore, I will go to Miri."
"Well... forget it. I'll just stay for two more days. Sister E and the others have already bought their tickets, and now I can't refund them."
"what ever."
As soon as Chen Feng finished speaking, his cell phone rang. It was Zhang Zhiqiang calling.
"Mr. Chen, we have basically completed the things you told us about. That person has been detained. In addition, a woman has accused him of rape. The evidence is very solid, including the photos in his phone and the thing he left behind when he raped her today. Now we just have to wait for the prosecution to file a complaint and the verdict."
Chen Feng was a little surprised to hear this news, so he asked: "Why did a woman suddenly accuse him of rape? Did he really rape her?"
Zhang Zhiqiang said vaguely: "The woman said she was raped, and there is irrefutable evidence, so it must be true."
"If this crime is proven, how many years will the other party have to spend in prison?"
"It will take at least two or three years."
"That's enough. You did a great job. I'll keep my promise."
"Thank you, thank you Mr. Chen."
"You're welcome. You helped me solve the problem, so I won't be stingy. Of course, I can only fulfill my promise after he makes a ruling."
In fact, Chen Feng had originally intended to give him or Carl Hicks a place to receive treatment, so of course it would not count.
"Yes, I know. Anyway, thank you very much, Mr. Chen. This place is very important to me."
Chen Feng suddenly asked: "Has Natalie woken up?"
Zhang Zhiqiang smiled and said, "She woke up about half an hour ago. She is in good health and can speak again. Her father said that she couldn't speak for more than two months. This is a miracle for Natalie. Her father is very happy and asked me to thank you on behalf of the whole family." (End of this chapter)
