They surrounded me right after the breakup.

Chapter 149 Saying Goodbye to the Past

Xia Yutong was still waiting for a reply.

Jiang Han didn't speak; the "ding" in his mind hadn't faded yet.

A semi-transparent golden light curtain unfolded before his eyes.

Xia Yutong couldn't see it, but she sensed that Jiang Han had suddenly fallen silent.

She assumed Jiang Han was weighing the options and considering the risks of litigation.

[Critical event detected]

[Event: The Truth Revealed in Jiang Yuantao's Bankruptcy Case]

[Trigger: Xia Yutong]

[Completeness of the chain of evidence: 100%]

[Hidden Quest Unlocked: Say Goodbye to the Past]

[Task Description: Complete the unfinished business of Jiang Yuantao]

[Current Status: Chain of evidence closed, litigation not initiated, Jiang family has not pleaded guilty]

[Task Reward: Unknown]

【Whether to accept? 】

Jiang Han stared intently at the light screen in front of him, unconsciously clenching his fist.

The system crashed! Oh, you're still around!

This joy, akin to finding something lost, is difficult to express in words.

Jiang Han recalled the night he was bound to the system.

Shen Qingning lay on the bed, unconscious after pulling weeds in Egypt.

Outside the window, the cicadas chirped in the summer night air at the Jade Green Manor. When the system popped up, he wasn't even dressed, standing barefoot on the balcony smoking.

Back then, the words on the screen were simple and direct: "Get Shen Qingning within a week, and you will be rewarded with 1 billion."

As a result, the 10 billion yuan arrived in a very simple way, and Xingyue Media acquired the company in its entirety.

Everything happened swiftly and decisively, like cashing a signed check.

A system to turn your life around?

Jiang Han murmured the system's name to himself...

Judging from its current situation, Xingyue Media is thriving.

He used information asymmetry to discover Mao Buyi, Phoenix Motors, and invested in the movie Nezha.

These are all profitable projects.

Whether it's personal assets, company size, or influence within the industry, it all deserves the title of a comeback.

So, the time is ripe?

The hidden quest is called "Saying Goodbye to the Past," which literally means that he has to deal with unfinished business from a long time ago.

Or rather...

Does the system know his transmigrated identity?

But regardless, the system has reappeared.

Jiang Han confirmed it in his mind.

[Task accepted]

The light screen dissipated, and only he and Xia Yutong remained in the office once again.

Jiang Han stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and sat up straight.

"Yutong, investigate with all your might!"

"From now on, you don't need to worry about anything at Xingyue Media."

"Call your father over here, and bring over Junhe's best lawyer—all of them!"

"I'm going to get to the bottom of this! Turn the world upside down!"

Xia Yutong closed her notebook and nodded seriously.

She didn't ask Jiang Han why he suddenly made up his mind after being silent for several seconds.

Xia Yutong knew that she would not refuse Jiang Han's request.

That afternoon, in Xia Guodong's office.

He received all the materials and learned about Jianghan's requirements.

Without pausing, Xia Guodong immediately sent a notification to all lawyers in the firm via email, including electronic versions of all materials.

Soon, an internal email was sent to the inbox of every partner at the Jingzhou branch.

The administrative staff specifically reminded everyone to check it in the WeChat group.

The email was sent by Xia Guodong himself, and the subject line was only four characters long: Emergency Meeting.

The main text was also short, but everyone realized how important the matter was.

"Our firm has been commissioned by Mr. Jiang Han to formally restart the litigation process for the bankruptcy liquidation of Jiang Yuantao."

All relevant materials have been compiled. We will meet at 3 PM in the main conference room for all attendees.

No reply or confirmation is required; all partners and senior lawyers in the firm must be present.

A case summary, a compilation of materials from Jiang Yuantao's bankruptcy liquidation case, was attached at the end.

Xia Guodong is not usually like this.

He had been the director of the Jingzhou branch for many years, and he never made it mandatory to call attendance at meetings. Whoever had a case to handle could go ahead and take care of it.

This email was sent out today and circulated throughout the entire institute in less than ten minutes.

After seeing the email, the administrative manager did not wait for the partner's reply and immediately arranged for the intern to cancel all client meeting appointments for that day.

Hearing the commotion, the lady in the tea room prepared several extra kettles of hot water in advance.

Fifteen minutes before the meeting started, the meeting room was already full of people.

There weren't enough chairs on either side of the long table, so someone added a row of folding chairs against the wall.

The interns standing in the back row all had notebooks in their hands, their expressions tense, wondering what kind of situation it was today.

The partners in the front row flipped through the case file summaries, occasionally exchanging a few words in hushed tones.

When Xia Guodong pushed open the door and entered, the conversation in the conference room immediately stopped.

Instead of taking a sip of tea before speaking as usual, he walked to the end of the long table, stood there, and placed the notebook in his hand on the table.

Xia Guodong placed his hand on his notebook and glanced at everyone present.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is not a routine meeting that I have called you all here today."

"Our largest single client in all these years, Mr. Jiang Han, has officially authorized us to reopen an old case, his father's case."

"Junhe received a very substantial consulting fee from Mr. Jiang Han, and the legal services covered Xingyue Media's daily legal affairs, contract review, and compliance review."

"The client has never made any other requests before; this is the first time!"

"This is the first time Mr. Jiang Han needs us to show our true abilities."

Xia Guodong's voice suddenly rose in pitch.

"Friends! Why did we choose to become lawyers?"

"It's to light a lamp in the fog, to build a wall in the wilderness!"

"That's right, the truth is often buried under false evidence and lies."

"What we need to do is use the shovel of logic and the pickaxe of evidence to dig it out inch by inch, so that it can see the light of day again!"

Justice may be delayed, but it will never be denied!

Several young intern lawyers felt inexplicably inspired after hearing Xia Guodong's words.

"Old Xia, count me in on this case."

"Director Xia, I'm going too!"

"I specialize in civil disputes and can clarify the financial details of that time."

"I have been dealing with the real estate industry for a long time, so I can get a real understanding of the past situation from within the industry."

Soon, Junhe's elite team was assembled into a professional group.

Xia Guodong peeled a copy of Zhao Xiulan's business card off the cover of his notebook and stuck it in the center of the whiteboard in the conference room.

Next to it was a case code he had handwritten himself, which was an abbreviation of Jiang Yuantao's bankruptcy liquidation case.

Then, Xia Guodong turned around to face everyone.

"From today onwards, this case officially enters the litigation preparation stage."

"Each group should submit its plan by this afternoon. Lao Qian will be in charge of the evidence group, Liu will be in charge of the litigation group, and Yu Tong will be in charge of the liaison group."

"Please hand over your current tasks to others for now. Our major client has personally requested that we fight a tough battle, and we must achieve a complete victory!"
