Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 164 - 4: The Strong Woman and the Pretty Boy (Part 4)

Hua Junhao was a bit worried about Li Shuning, and couldn’t help but call to ask her about the situation and whether she needed his help. Hualin Group also had a team of lawyers.

Li Shuning just laughed and said there was no need, expressing sincere gratitude as well.

On the day of the court session, Hua Junhao still brought people to support Li Shuning. He was worried that she, a girl, might suffer losses.

For some reason, during those days, his mind was filled with Li Shuning’s every smile and frown, and he was afraid she would be at a disadvantage.

Meanwhile, outside the courtroom, countless media were gathered.

The media presence increased especially upon learning that Hua Junhao was also there.

The court realized the case had a significant impact and, after consulting both the plaintiff and the defendant, allowed some media to attend the hearing.

After the judge announced the start of the court session, Li Shuning submitted all her evidence.

Having gone through so many Task Worlds, she was quite skilled at controlling her expressions.

At this moment, Li Shuning seemed to shed her strong woman persona, turning into a little woman. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

She spoke of the harm her relatives had caused her with grievance.

"Your Honor, everyone knows that family ties are hard to break even when bones are broken. But I have no other way; the online comments about me make my heart ache too."

"When my parents were together, the family disapproved of their relationship. With no other choice, they left home to make their way. Initially, Song Group was built from the ground up by my father and mother. However, before they could enjoy the fruits of their labor, they died in a car accident. Then, I was just twenty-one years old. For the sake of my parents’ hard work, I took on the Song Group’s responsibility. At that time, my uncle and uncles were envious of the Song Group and moved from Qu City to Huacheng."

"They nagged and wanted to seize the Song Group. Helplessly, I gave them some shares and even used money to help them settle in Huacheng. These are all familial matters; spending such money is not a big deal. But after they got the shares, seeing that I conceded to them everywhere, they started stealing various things from the company. In this document, there are detailed accounts of everything they have stolen from the company to profit over the past five years."

"Originally, family disgrace should not be revealed to outsiders. It is my incompetence that led to the Song Group changing hands. I didn’t want to pursue these matters, but I never expected them to be so unscrupulous, trying to drug me and send me to some big shot as a means to gain benefits."

"Please, Your Honor, and the jury, check these videos."

Then, designated personnel played the videos that Li Shuning had prepared in advance.

The videos showed the drugging process in detail and how they, after drugging Li Shuning unconscious, gleefully discussed how to offer Li Shuning to some sponsor and how to spend the money they would get.

For a moment, the media present and Hua Junhao were dumbfounded.

It was their first time seeing such shameless relatives.

However, during their discussions, they didn’t disclose who the sponsor was, but the general situation was clearly understood.

Hua Junhao knew, though, that it was Song Qiao.

Li Shuning’s eyes reddened, vividly portraying the image of someone persecuted by relatives but persevering silently.

"Your Honor, back when my parents were working, our family conditions were relatively good, and I was once kidnapped. That made me particularly sensitive to certain drugs. I woke up just in time that day and hid myself. Look, the video even shows a group of men in black entering the villa. I’m merely a woman, and I’m scared too. So, I devote all my time to work; it’s been nearly a month since I last went home."

Li Shuning covered her face: "After finishing my work, I just wanted to take a break. Before I got home, I received a call from security saying a group of people broke into my home. When I returned, I found my house in shambles. This is also shown in the videos. They even discussed finding the property deed to claim the villa. Your Honor can check these. It’s not that I disregard family ties; I’m just scared that if I keep enduring this, there might come a day when I’ll be killed in my sleep without knowing. They want the villa, and who knows what they would do to me? That villa was a gift from my parents, it holds special meaning, and I absolutely won’t let it go."

After the judge and jury watched the videos, contrasting the villa that seemed as if it had been robbed with its previous elegance and tidiness, the shock was evident.

The security guards were summoned, who truthfully narrated the events of that day, even exaggerating the scene slightly after hearing Li Shuning’s account.

"I’ve been a security guard for so many years, and I’ve never seen people this brazen. At the time, my colleague and I went to stop them and were almost beaten up. They yelled that the villa would be theirs from now on and it was none of our business how they entered what they called their home. Their niece’s belongings were theirs too..."

When it came to Li Han and the others’ self-defense, they repeatedly claimed Li Shuning treated them poorly, such as how despite Li Group being so large at the time, they were not given jobs, among other things, making everyone present want to shout out in frustration.

Back then, when her parents were together, they disapproved, and now they wanted to pick the fruits of her parents’ success. Giving them shares to receive dividends was already more than enough; did they expect to get the entire company?

Li Shuning sued them to reclaim the things they embezzled before, request compensation for the damage caused when they broke into the villa, and sever ties, as she no longer wanted a life without personal safety.

The evidence provided by Li Shuning was quite comprehensive. Finally, the judge announced the verdict: Li Han and the others must return all the embezzled funds and compensate for the villa damages, and from now on are prohibited from approaching the plaintiff.

The compensation list for the villa damages provided by Li Shuning, when calculated, amounted to over ten million.

Li Han immediately yelled on the spot: "How could it be so much? We merely messed up the villa. Why should we pay so much?"

Li Shuning then presented some exhibits on the spot.

One of them was a small vase, smashed by Li Tang’s son; this vase was an antique with a certificate of authenticity.

Moreover, the sofas scratched by Li Han’s eldest son and Li Song’s younger daughter were all custom-made high-end imported sofas, and Li Shuning had purchase receipts to prove it.

The carpets were stained with juice, stepped on with their shoes, and Li Tang even deliberately urinated in the corner...

In short, the various damages collectively amounted to indeed over ten million.

When the media exposed the entire affair, Li Han and the others’ reputations were utterly destroyed. So much so that many people looked down upon them, even vendors were reluctant to sell them vegetables.

Those who once criticized Li Shuning online were all silenced.

There were also some who began to feel sorry for Li Shuning, believing that her patience up to this point was more than commendable. If she continued to endure, it might truly cost her life. The attempted drugging today might lead to who knows what next time. Greed knows no bounds, and since Li Shuning didn’t have children, if anything happened to her, those despicable relatives might indeed end up owning the villa.
