Chapter 669: 537 A thousand years in a dark room, one lamp then brings light

Courtroom entrance.

After Jiang Chen got into the car, the black sedan slowly started.

Watching through the window as the High Court receded into the distance, Jiang Chen understood that today’s trial was destined to be inconclusive.

In Korea, in a foreign land, Lan Peizhi’s network and power were certainly restricted.

But at the same time.

Her restraints had been lifted.

The Blood Bodhisattva sitting next to him right now was probably more dangerous than ever.

"Curiosity killed the cat."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen seized the opportunity to speak, "I thought today’s leading lady was Miss Lan."

Shi Qianxi had alarmed him last night without giving clarity.

Of course.

It was also possible that she had misunderstood Shi Zhenhua’s intention.

"I brought him to Korea, and I will take him back."

Her voice was light as a feather, yet her tone left no room for doubt.

Jiang Chen, of course, knew to whom she referred.

The defendant who had just sat in the prominent seat.

Zou Kezhao.

In today’s world, where profit is paramount, someone like Lan Peizhi, of such stature, naturally possessed certain unique qualities.

"I see the prosecution is very adamant, and even if it failed today, it would likely not rest."

Lan Peizhi neither confirmed nor denied and did not continue the conversation.

Jiang Chen also quieted down, not even asking where they were going.

The black sedan left the court and traveled unhurriedly along the streets.

Suddenly.

A ringtone from a cellphone echoed.

When Lan Peizhi picked up the phone, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but glance at the caller ID, not bothering to conceal his curiosity.

Ouyang Cheng.

"Miss Lan, those goods must be disposed of, and quickly."

Lan Peizhi did not respond; she simply put down the phone after listening.

Jiang Chen remained quiet.

The sedan left the bustling city center, arriving at a secluded warehouse.

"Creak."

Two burly men pulled open the iron fence gate.

The car drove in.

"Miss Lan."

A man with thick brows and big eyes slightly bowed at the car’s side, presumably in charge of the warehouse.

The warehouse covered a large area; after getting out of the car, Jiang Chen roughly estimated that it was at least five or six thousand square meters.

Guided by the man, Jiang Chen followed Lan Peizhi into a storage area.

"Whirr."

The rolling shutter door opened.

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

In front of him were mountains of various designer cosmetics, dazzling to the eyes and enough to drive any woman wild.

"Miss Lan, the scrutiny has been intense lately; these goods can no longer stay here and must be shipped out as soon as possible."

Just one room was filled with so much stock; how much more was hidden in the rest of this vast warehouse?

A truly grand operation, indeed.

While he wasn’t sure of the total value of these goods, it was definitely a considerable sum.

"Someone will contact you this afternoon. Cooperate with him and destroy all these goods."

The warehouse manager was nodding in agreement to the first part, but his face dramatically changed when he heard the latter part.

"Destroy them?"

"Miss Lan, this batch is worth..."

Lan Peizhi’s face was calm as she simply stated, "Get it all done today."

The warehouse manager’s eyes showed struggle, he hesitated, his expression shifted back and forth, but in the end, he nodded and said, "Understood."

"After disposing of these goods, all of you must leave the country and stay away from Korea for a while."

Having said that, Lan Peizhi turned around and walked back to the car.

This was the way of the mighty.

Decisive, with commanding presence!

Without a word, Jiang Chen followed and got into the car.

The sedan drove out of the warehouse.

"Miss Lan, we have a tail."

Back in the city center of Korea, the driver alerted her.

Jiang Chen looked back and indeed noticed two grey cars following at a moderate distance, not particularly skilled in their surveillance—or perhaps, from another perspective, they may not have intended to hide at all.

"Where do you live?" Lan Peizhi asked softly.

"Boya Hotel," Jiang Chen replied.

The driver understood and turned the steering wheel to the left.

Outside Boya Hotel.

Jiang Chen was dropped off.

Immediately.

The black sedan drove away again.

The two grey cars continued to follow.

Jiang Chen watched the cars drive off and then turned to enter the hotel.

"Mr. Jiang."

Gao Zhengbi was already back, sitting in the lobby as if waiting for him.

"Let’s talk upstairs."

They took the elevator, entered the room, and Jiang Chen asked, "What was the outcome?"

"Insufficient evidence, postponed for a further hearing."

Jiang Chen sat down on the sofa, unsurprised.

"Miss Lan is skilled; she dealt with all the witnesses connected to the case. Che Changmin has suffered a significant setback this time. It’s likely he has never taken such a harsh fall in his career."

Gao Zhengbi expressed his amazement, equally in awe of Lan Peizhi’s resolve and ruthlessness.

"Given the current situation, if I were Che Changmin, I might start worrying whether continuing the investigation would endanger my life."

Jiang Chen poured a glass of water and smiled, "Didn’t you say he was Korea’s most righteous prosecutor? Is this all the resolve he has?"

"But nothing is more important than one’s life, right? If you lose your life, everything else is gone."

Jiang Chen shook his head with a smile, "That’s why you can’t be a prosecutor."

"I have zero interest in being an official," Gao Zhengbi said, sitting down on the sofa with a chuckle.

Jiang Chen took a sip of water.

"I, on the other hand, think that Miss Lan wouldn’t be so rash. Killing Che Changmin won’t solve the underlying problem; it would only further provoke the Korean government. Any rational person wouldn’t do it."

Gao Zhengbi fell silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Mr. Jiang makes sense. What do you think Miss Lan will do next? Although there’s no result from the trial this time, with Che Changmin’s ability, as long as he doesn’t give up, he’s sure to unearth new evidence. Once Zou Kezhao is convicted, the prosecution will be able to follow the trail to Miss Lan. And with this experience, Che Changmin will surely be even more cautious. It won’t be easy for Miss Lan to... silence him."
