"You little brat, you did that on purpose! You tricked me!"
If it weren't for the two tables and security guards in between, Li Sheng could have climbed over and grabbed Mingyan by the collar.
In contrast, Mingyan remained remarkably calm.
Besides his lawyer, there was also a programmer who was idly looking at his phone; he was an important witness.
Now there is no doubt that all of this was a well-intentioned plan.
The head of the naval forces hired by Li Sheng had long since become a witness on Mingyan's side!
He had already collected evidence of Li Sheng spreading rumors and smearing Blue Star, which was enough to sue the cruise ship capital.
But that's not enough; at most, they can only detain and fine Li Sheng.
He made it clear that he would not act unless absolutely necessary, but when he did, it would be with overwhelming force.
Fortunately, after a negotiation with the bank, he gained sufficient attention.
After Manager Liu was suspended, the reporter who had instigated the adoptive parents was also quickly tracked down.
That was a mercenary with absolutely no morals; we pried him open by offering him a large sum of cash.
This is the second instance of voyeurism involving privacy.
Thirdly, there's vicious competition!
Although the programmer obtained the funding plan from Cruise Capital, it was not evidence obtained through legitimate means, and its effectiveness in court will be greatly reduced.
And it could easily implicate the programmer himself.
So Mingyan chose a roundabout approach, designing a trap to lure Li Sheng into taking the bait.
Every conversation in the conference room was a carefully designed lure.
Thinking of this, Li Sheng felt a chill run down his spine.
While he secretly mocked Mingyan's youthful naiveté, little did he know that the truly foolish and ridiculous person was himself.
Now, it's finally time to close the net.
"Blue Star does not agree to a settlement." Mingyan smiled slightly, still with that calm and collected demeanor. "The game is our best work. We will never forgive any behavior that smears League of Legends, and we will never let any enemy who attacks us get away with it."
The outcome of this out-of-court settlement was predetermined from the start.
This is not the signal for the start of war, but rather the clarion call for Earth to press its advantage!
Ming Yan won decisively from the very beginning, even far exceeding the enemy's expectations.
Li Sheng stared intently at Mingyan.
He never expected that his momentary carelessness would lead to such a disastrous outcome.
The young man before him was so cunning that he couldn't help but tremble.
Even at the very last moment, when the true intentions were revealed, Mingyan still maintained a composed smile, even when facing a ferocious enemy.
However, everyone knows that Blue Star sued Li Sheng personally, not Cruise Capital...
This is to send Li Sheng straight to hell!
Chapter 34 Blue Star New Year
The outcome of the out-of-court settlement is self-evident.
When he walked out of the courtroom, Mingyan smiled and gave the programmers their New Year's bonuses.
Behind him, Li Sheng, his face ashen, stumbled out.
When the two met at the entrance of the courthouse, Li Sheng's gaze was no longer filled with the disdain of the previous days, but with apprehension and fear.
Mingyan smiled and said to him, "Have a good New Year."
Have a good New Year?
Li Sheng's face flushed red with anger in an instant, but quickly turned dejected due to his incompetence.
“The cruise ship won’t let you off easily,” Li Sheng said.
A vicious dog whose spine has been broken often only has one last resort left—barking.
He stated explicitly: "Any means outside the law will naturally be punished by law; as for means within the law, you may try them as you please, that's all."
Li Sheng felt as if he had punched cotton, utterly powerless.
Over the years, many people have been targeted by cruise capital, but none have been as composed as Mingyan.
Li Sheng couldn't fathom what this young man was thinking. He said, "Don't you know the power of money? They didn't need to cooperate with you in the first place! You're just a game developer, but they're playing the capital game!"
He stated clearly, "I know."
Li Sheng continued, "You can't go very far with just one or two best-selling games. But as long as they have money, they can keep this model going forever! Do you know that there are already many imitators of Minecraft? All of them are on the cruise line's list of considerations!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he immediately regretted them.
He was so eager to see Mingyan lose his composure that he said something he shouldn't have.
But Mingyan smiled again and said, "This is inevitable, I know that."
