Offer To The CEO

Chapter 582 - Lu Jingho, Out Of Control? - Part 7



Thursday

Lu Jingho spat out "I do not care. You need to have Lu Corporation deal with him, putting me here clearly betrays Lu Corporation, and we know he will be helping his wife, so they must act. More importantly I want you to get that b*stard and his servant to immediately drop the charges. That b*stard, betrayed me and will not admit what he did. His servant attacked me without provocation. Any recording will not tell the truth, I was simply defending myself from what they did. I need to be out of here or else..."

Jane Gang said "Mr Lu, I know you want out of here, but you need to listen to me, so that we can work out how to deal with this matter. It does the other matters no good for you to be here, as we need you out so you can assist us in locking down the deals to get rid of the other charges."

After a brief pause, Lu Jingho who now was calmed continued "At least you seem to have some sense, everyone else has no idea. What is your plan."

Having braved Lu Jingho's barrage to the point he was listening Jane continued "While you may not like it, I have been thinking since we were alerted to your detention that there is a strategic way that we could proceed. As I said the major issue, we have with Mr Tang is the fact that the police observed you kicking him. I would suggest that we tell the court that you will plead guilty …"

Lu Jingho screamed "No damn way."

"Mr Lu, what the other part of the plan is, and this we can easily organise, is that we ask the court that the sentencing in the matter be adjourned until the resolution of the other matters, and that you be let out with conditions, including obtaining a psychologist report."

"I am not mentally ill, so that is stupid." Lu Jingho was getting angry.

"That is not what we are going to do Mr Lu. The argument, which we know the report will support is that with the stress of everything else, what Mr Tang did and his wife's actions, drove you over the edge. Someone you trusted acted in a way that you knew was harmful to you, financially and that betrayal impacted you mentally." 

"What it means for that case, is we can argue for a minor penalty on the basis that you get psychological help as the psychologist determines. That may include things like Anger management courses and programs to help you deal with stress."

"Why in the world you I do anything that damn stupid."

"Mr Lu, what I am proposing is about maximising the potential for a good outcome to you. We must accept the one certainty with this matter is that there will be no way that we can reach an agreement to have the charges dropped. Getting that report, and we have good psychologists that we can use, does that for you."

"We need to be strategic in relation to not only this matter but the other matters that you have before the court. Dealing with this can be done quickly, with you receiving a minimal penalty. That allows us to concentrate on the bigger picture dealing with the other matters."

"As part of that, we can have the psychologist to speak to you regarding the issues involving CEO and Madam Hou. We will not need that report as quickly, but it will mean that they can produce it when we need it on short notice. Those matters are not in isolation. There is the background of the relationship between your son and Madam Hou, and what she and CEO Hou did to him and your daughter-in-law. Again strategic, but it means that we can argue for lesser penalties to be imposed in those matters as the police have other evidence than simply their words."

Lu Jingho paused for a few seconds, then responded "As I told you I am not mentally ill, but now I cannot think about what else I can do. You know I need to be out of here now, not stuck in a place where I, the victim of everyone actions should never be."

He turned and looked at the male lawyers and said "I need to speak privately to your colleague, now get out of here. I do not trust you."

Sensing that Jane Gang had the situation under control, the two male lawyers exited the legal interview room, and as the door closed behind them she said "Mr Lu, you know we are all here to get the best possible outcomes for you, you need to trust all of us."
