After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

After Yan Jin left, Xiang Yu sat alone in the office for a long time, rubbing his tired brows, and replaying every moment he had spent with Yan Jin in his mind. He once thought that his concern and care for Yan Jin was just out of the responsibility of a couple, but now he understands that those things have unknowingly become habits and concerns that are difficult to give up.

At this moment, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. "Come in."

Lawyer Lin pushed the door open, walked to the desk with a serious look, and handed a document to Xiang Yu, "Mr. Xiang, take a look at this."

Xiang Yu took the document and read it carefully. This was an analysis report on the other party's patent litigation strategy. Lawyer Lin listed the other party's intentions and evidence one by one in concise and clear language.

"The other party's purpose is very clear, they want to use this patent dispute to completely defeat us." Lawyer Lin said in a deep voice, "Their evidence seems sufficient, but in fact there are many loopholes."

"What loophole?" Xiang Yu suddenly raised his head, his eyes sharp.

Lawyer Lin pointed to a mark in the report and explained: "The time of their patent application is obviously suspected of being fake."

"You mean..." Yan Jin had returned to the office without knowing when. She walked to the table and stared at the report sharply, "They are suspected of malicious registration?"

"That's right." Lawyer Lin confirmed her guess, "I have found relevant clues. We only need to investigate further to find evidence of their violations."

Yan Jin pondered for a moment and decisively proposed: "I will personally go to the city where their company is located, hoping to find more valuable information."

"I'll go with you." Xiang Yu blurted out without even thinking.

Yan Jin glanced at him, her tone calm but unquestionable: "No, you stay and take care of the company's affairs, and leave the investigation to me."

Xiang Yu wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Yan Jin, "This is my area of ​​expertise, trust me."

He looked at Yan Jin's determined eyes and knew that he could not change her decision, so he could only swallow back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"Okay, I'll let my assistant arrange the itinerary." In the end, Xiang Yu compromised.

"Yes." Yan Jin nodded and turned to look at Lawyer Lin, "Lawyer Lin, please organize the relevant information. I will leave tomorrow."

"Okay, Mr. Yan."

……

As night fell, Xiang Yu stood in front of the French window in his office, looking at the twinkling lights of thousands of houses in the distance, but his heart was cold. He knew that Yan Jin's trip was full of risks, but he couldn't stop her, so he could only pray silently, hoping that everything would go well for her.

Suddenly, the cell phone rang. Xiang Yu glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Yan Jin.

"Hello?" He answered the phone with a barely perceptible nervousness in his tone.

"I need a list..."

"I need a list of experts and scholars who conducted research in the field of XX and published relevant academic papers ten years ago, especially..." Yan Jin's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of fatigue, but the tone was still firm.

"No problem, I'll arrange it right away." Xiang Yu hung up the phone, immediately contacted his assistant, and began to investigate the list Yan Jin needed. He knew that Yan Jin must have found a breakthrough, which was why he needed this information so urgently.

In the next few days, Xiang Yu turned into a workaholic. He turned down all unnecessary trips and social events and devoted himself to collecting information and contacting experts and scholars. He knew the importance of this patent dispute to Yan Jin and the company, and he also understood the hardships of Yan Jin's investigation alone. He wanted to do his best to provide her with all the support.

However, things did not go smoothly. Some experts and scholars refused to help for various reasons, and some seemed to be under some kind of pressure and avoided answering their inquiries. To make matters worse, Yan Jin discovered during the investigation that some key documents had disappeared, which brought her already difficult investigation to a standstill.

"Damn it!" Yan Jin slammed her fist on the table. The strange disappearance of the documents made her feel uneasy. It seemed that there was an invisible hand behind it, secretly obstructing their investigation.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Xiang Yu, who was thousands of miles away, was the first to notice Yan Jin's emotional fluctuations.

"Some important documents are missing. I suspect..." Yan Jin took a deep breath and tried to keep his tone calm, "Someone doesn't want us to find out the truth."

"Don't worry, I'll send someone over right away." Xiang Yu's heart was in suspense. He immediately contacted local friends and used all his connections in the hope of retrieving the lost files.

However, things went against their wishes, and those documents disappeared without a trace. The clues seemed to be suddenly interrupted here, and Yan Jin and Xiang Yu fell silent.

"Are we just going to give up like this?" Yan Jin murmured to himself, his tone filled with reluctance.

"Of course not!" Xiang Yu's voice was firm and powerful, "I will always be with you until..."

Before he could finish his words, the office door was suddenly pushed open and the assistant ran in in a panic, "Mr. Xiang, something's wrong..." "What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?" Xiang Yu frowned slightly, with a hint of displeasure in his tone. The assistant's recklessness interrupted his train of thought. More importantly, he was worried that Yan Jin's mood would be affected by this.

The assistant took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "Mr. Xiang, the court... the court has sent a subpoena, requiring us to appear in court early to respond to the lawsuit."

"What?!" Yan Jin stood up suddenly, the documents in his hand scattered all over the floor, his face, which was already gloomy, was now covered with frost, "Why do they do that?!"

"The opposing lawyer submitted a new piece of evidence, and the court believes it is necessary to re-examine the case." The assistant's voice became smaller and smaller. He knew that this news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for them.

Yan Jin felt a surge of anger rushing to her head. The other party was clearly delaying time on purpose, trying to disrupt their rhythm! She took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger in her heart, and turned to look at the computer screen. Xiang Yu's concerned eyes made her calm down a little.

"Don't worry, we still have time." Xiang Yu's voice was steady and powerful, as if it gave Yan Jin a shot of adrenaline. "Sort out all the information we have so far. I want to study it carefully with Lawyer Lin."

"Okay." Yan Jin nodded, quickly picked up the documents on the ground, and devoted herself to the intense work with Xiang Yu.

Time passed by, the sky outside the window gradually darkened, but the lights in the office were still bright. Xiang Yu and Yan Jin worked side by side, they carefully analyzed every detail, trying to find a breakthrough from the clues.

"Look here..." Yan Jin pointed to a patent application document on the computer screen, frowning, "This timing is very strange. It's exactly three months after our company started developing this technology. Don't you think it's too coincidental?"

"It's really strange." Xiang Yu's eyes also fell on the document, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table. "If I remember correctly, the person in charge of this company at that time..."

"It's Professor Li's student!" Yan Jin blurted out. She finally remembered that Professor Li once had a student who later jumped to this company. If they stole Professor Li's research results, then everything made sense!

"It seems that our breakthrough lies in Professor Li." Xiang Yu's lips curled up into a confident smile. He knew that as long as he found Professor Li, he could uncover the truth.

However, just as they were about to contact Professor Li, Lawyer Lin brought even worse news...

"What? You said Professor Li... is missing?!" Yan Jin looked at Lawyer Lin in disbelief, and the documents in her hand slipped again. This time, her face was no longer filled with anger, but deep worry and uneasiness.

Lawyer Lin nodded solemnly, "I visited Professor Li's family today, and they said that Professor Li has been out of contact for several days, and his cell phone is unreachable..."

"How could this happen..." Yan Jin murmured to herself, an ominous premonition came to her mind. She looked up at Xiang Yu, only to find that his expression was equally ugly.

"It seems that someone doesn't want Professor Li to speak." Xiang Yu's voice was low and hoarse. He walked to the window and looked at the dark night sky outside the window. His eyes were deep and cold. "What on earth do they want to do..."

"Now is not the time to think about these things. We must find Professor Li as soon as possible!" Yan Jin's voice was firm and powerful. She would not allow anyone to threaten Professor Li's safety, nor would she allow anyone to stop them from finding out the truth!

"Yes, we can't just sit there and wait for death!" Xiang Yu turned around, his eyes full of determination, "Lawyer Lin, please make arrangements immediately. We need to appear in court early and submit all the evidence we have to the court!"

"But..." Lawyer Lin looked embarrassed. "The evidence submitted by the other lawyer is very sufficient. We haven't found Professor Li yet. I'm afraid..."

"No buts!" Xiang Yu interrupted him, "Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, we must try our best!"

"Okay!" Lawyer Lin was infected by Xiang Yu's determination. He knew that this was a battle with no retreat, and they had to go all out to have a chance of winning!

The night was dark, and outside the window there was a storm. Yan Jin and Xiang Yu did not speak, but just sat quietly at their desks, flipping through the documents in their hands. Their eyes were firm and persistent, like the calm before the storm, but they also contained huge energy, waiting for the final explosion...

"Dong dong dong..."

A rapid knock on the door broke the silence of the office, and the assistant's voice came from outside the door, "Mr. Xiang, Mr. Yan, Lawyer Lin is here."

Yan Jin and Xiang Yu looked at each other, a hint of determination flashed in their eyes, they stood up and walked towards the door.

"Click."

The door opened, and a battle was about to begin...

Chapter 263: Clearing the Clouds

Outside the window, the night was dark and the rain was pouring down. The big raindrops hit the glass windows fiercely, making crackling sounds. Inside the window, Xiang Yu and Yan Jin sat opposite each other, with documents and materials piled in front of them. There was a hint of determination in their tired looks.

"Take a break, it's already late." Xiang Yu put down the documents in his hand, rubbed his sore eyes, and looked at Yan Jin who was equally tired opposite him.

Yan Jin shook her head and tucked her scattered hair behind her ears, with a hint of stubbornness in her tone, "No, time is running out, we must be fully prepared."

Xiang Yu knew Yan Jin's character. Once she made a decision, no one could change it. He stood up and walked to the coffee machine, making two cups of coffee for the two of them. The rich aroma of coffee filled the air, as if it could dispel some fatigue.

"At least have a cup of coffee to keep your strength." Xiang Yu placed a cup of coffee in front of Yan Jin, with a barely perceptible tenderness in his tone.

Yan Jin took the coffee and took a sip. The bitter taste refreshed her. The two of them spent this long and tense night in front of the desk piled with documents and the aroma of coffee.

The next day, the court gate was crowded with people talking. Yan Jin and Xiang Yu, accompanied by Lawyer Lin, walked into the court with firm steps.

The atmosphere in the courtroom was solemn and serious. Yan Jin and Xiang Yu sat in the plaintiff's seat, and across from them were the defendant company's representatives and legal team.

As the gavel fell, the trial officially began. The opposing lawyers were aggressive, throwing out seemingly "ironclad" evidence one after another, trying to force Yan Jin's company into a desperate situation.

Faced with the other party's relentless pressure, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu responded calmly. They refuted the other party's accusations with reason and evidence, and presented the evidence they had prepared in advance to the court one by one.

"According to this technical analysis report, it can be seen that there are obvious differences between the technology used by the defendant company and the technology for which our company has applied for a patent..." Yan Jin's voice was cold and firm. She used her professional knowledge and clear logical language to expose the other party's lies one by one.

The courtroom was full of arguments, with lawyers on both sides arguing with each other. Time passed by, and the trial was drawing to a close, but there was still no progress on the key point of the case - Professor Li's whereabouts and testimony.

At this moment, Yan Jin noticed a familiar figure flashing past in the audience. She was shocked and stood up suddenly, chasing after the figure...
