Chapter 691: A Returned Legal Letter

Huo Tingrui simply smiled and shook his head at Tong Yu. “He won’t get away with it.”

Tong Yu was at a loss when he heard this. Since Huo Tingrui did not want to say more, he was not in the position to probe.

Instead, he said, “I will go find Xiang Nan and his little brother. If he refuses to admit to his actions, I will report him to the cops right away.”

Huo Tingrui nodded. “Sure. I have given you a fair warning. You have to hurry up.”

Tong Yu stood up, acknowledged Huo Tingrui, and left the legal firm quizzically.

Huo Xiang was well protected all these years after he joined the entertainment industry because of Huo Yanxi and Huo Tingrui’s help, but Tong Yu always felt that there was more to it.

He once attempted to find out more from Huo Xiang, but Huo Xiang didn’t say anything at the time.

After Tong Yu left, Huo Tingrui sat on the chair and contemplated quietly.

The assistant knocked on the door before coming in quickly with a letter in his hand.

He placed the letter on the table in front of Huo Tingrui.

The moment Huo Tingrui’s eyes landed on the letter, he raised his brow slightly. “What is the meaning of this?”

It was none other than the legal letter which he had sent to Wu Miao informing her he was suing her.

The assistant furtively glanced at Huo Tingrui before he finally said, “Wu Miao’s talent agent said your sister’s information isn’t considered as a private matter. Since people out there know her, it can’t be considered as an infringement of personal privacy, so they returned the legal letter.”

Huo Tingrui narrowed his eyes sternly and leaned into the chair. “Are they saying it isn’t an infringement of personal privacy? Since they even sent the letter back, it seems that they want to protect that stupid Wu girl.”

Even if the party being sued disagreed with the charges, they typically did not return the legal notice sent to them. Now that Wu Miao’s talent agency had done so, they were clearly trying to provoke him.

The assistant cleared his throat and continued. “I did a background check on Wu Miao. It seems she is very well connected. I heard she is related to the Shen family from the capital. Do you think we should consider dropping the charges against her?”

Although Huo Tingrui was an ace attorney, he would stand to gain nothing by fighting against a powerful family.

Huo Tingrui laughed gently the moment he heard this. He straightened his back and placed his hands on the table before he cursed explosively. “What is there to bloody reconsider?”

The Shen family? They must think very highly of themselves.

It was the first time the assistant had ever seen his boss cursing, so he was startled.

After he composed himself, he said softly, “The Wu family’s business is one of the top ten businesses in this city. Moreover, the Shen family aren’t exactly pushovers. I know you want to help seek justice for your little sister, but I think you really need to reconsider this objectively.”

The assistant was saying this with the firm’s interest in mind and he was right.

Huo Tingrui naturally knew what his assistant was thinking. But how could he let things slide after Wu Miao had done this to his little sister? It was absolutely out of the question.

“Humph. If they want to use the Shen family to wriggle out of this, then the Shen family will have to personally apologize to my sister on their behalf,” said Huo Tingrui coldly.

Huo Tingrui simply wanted to hold these people accountable for ruining his little sister’s reputation. Since the Shen family was nosey enough to meddle, they were asking for it.

The assistant looked at Huo Tingrui in shock.

He had already explained that the Shen family was a powerful clan and could not be offended, but he ended up triggering Huo Tingrui further. The assistant hurriedly said in an anxious voice, “Mr. Huo, I’m not joking.”
