Chapter 160 Collusion
Chapter 160 Collusion
"The Song family has given us instructions. The head of the Song family wants us to sue Xiao Family Pharmaceuticals in court!"
A day later, Tong Qingyun summoned the Tong family and announced his decision.
"Our Awakening Pill is patented, and the patent protection will not expire for another year. The Xiao family's generic drugs are illegal!" Tong Qingyun said excitedly.
"The Song family has already been taken care of. As long as we file a lawsuit, the Xiao family will definitely lose. Not only will they be unable to produce and sell the Rejuvenation Pills anymore, but they will also have to pay huge sums of compensation!"
"The Xiao family is digging its own grave!"
Upon hearing this, the Tong family members became excited.
Yesterday's news was so impactful that I almost forgot they had the confidence to back it up.
Isn't this a golden opportunity?
To avenge our humiliation and severely damage the Xiao family!
"Prepare the materials immediately and file a lawsuit!" Tong Qingyun ordered.
……
"The Tong family has sued us, and the law firm has notified us to attend." Xiao Jialin held the summons, his expression somewhat grave.
"Hasn't the Rejuvenation Pill already been recognized by the Pharmacist Association? It has all sorts of qualifications, including patent certificates. What are you still worried about?" Dongfang Ruyi asked.
"Young Master, you may not know this, but the Chief Justice is a member of the Song family," Xiao Jialin sighed.
The Rejuvenating Pill and the Awakening Pill were similar in nature, and the Rejuvenating Pill was indeed made based on the Rejuvenating Pill. In addition, the bias of the chief lawyer made this case more challenging.
“If they dare to engage in favoritism and corruption, I will not stand idly by,” Dongfang Ruyi said coldly.
With her assurance, the Xiao family felt much more at ease.
"Make preparations. The law school will be present, and we'll also call in more reporters; that will be effective," Xiao Chen said.
The time for the public trial in court will arrive in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Xiao Chen drove a small Audi, taking Dongfang Ruyi to the law school.
Since he arrived at the law school almost at the last minute, the ground parking lot was full when he got there, so Xiao Chen drove around looking for a parking space.
Just then, a limited edition Bugatti drove in from the other side.
Sitting in the car were Song Wenjie and Tong Anjin.
He was also looking for a parking space.
The two cars faced each other across the road, with only one parking space left between them.
“It was them…” Tong Anjin’s face darkened.
Song Wenjie frowned, glanced at Xiao Chen and the other person, and then looked at the parking space.
He narrowed his eyes, a wicked smile playing on his lips.
His strong competitive spirit was ignited, and he gripped the steering wheel tightly, placing his foot on the accelerator.
"boom!"
Almost simultaneously, the two stepped on the gas pedal.
The road wasn't long, and in order to grab a parking spot, Song Wenjie pressed the accelerator hard, causing the speedometer to spike rapidly.
When it comes to cars, among the wealthy young men of Jiang City, he dares to say he's second to none.
Therefore, he was very confident.
But when he saw the Audi rushing towards him like lightning, his expression changed drastically.
"Does this kid want to die with me?" Song Wenjie asked in a terrified tone.
Tong Anjin turned pale and screamed in fright.
The two people in the Audi were expressionless, like robots.
Song Wenjie finally lost his nerve and stepped on the brakes.
"laugh……"
The sudden braking created sparks.
Xiao Chen's Audi executed a perfect drift and came to a perfect stop in the last parking space, while Song Wenjie nearly crashed into the car next to him, but fortunately he managed to brake in time to avoid an accident.
He and Tong Anjin were pale and panting heavily.
She watched helplessly as Xiao Chen and Dongfang Ruyi got out of the car, casting a disdainful glance at them.
"If you're bad at cooking, practice more," Xiao Chen said, then strode away with the beautiful woman.
"beep!"
Song Wenjie slammed his fist on the steering wheel in anger, his face extremely gloomy.
He lost this contest, because he lacked courage.
"Wenjie... never mind, why bother arguing with them? Let's park in the underground garage..." Tong Anjin said, still shaken.
Song Wenjie didn't say anything, but stared at the Audi for a moment.
"Hmph!" He snorted coldly, drove his car directly alongside it, blocking the road completely.
“I’ll block him here and see how he gets out,” he said coldly.
"What's the value of a beat-up Audi A4? My Bugatti is worth over 20 million. Would he dare touch it?"
“Then he definitely wouldn’t dare.” Tong Anjin laughed.
As if they had vented their anger, the two got out of the car and headed towards the courthouse.
People from both the Tong and Xiao families were present in court.
Several journalists were also present.
The Tong family members looked confident and assured of victory.
As soon as the lawyer announced the start of the court session, the Tong family's lawyer hurriedly stood up and presented a large pile of evidence.
"Xiao's Pharmaceutical's generic drugs violated the law and infringed upon the legitimate rights and interests of Tongjia Pharmaceutical, causing serious damage to the reputation and word-of-mouth of the patented drug Xing Shen Wan. We demand that they be held legally responsible and compensate us for our losses, amounting to 300 million yuan!" The plaintiff's lawyer's voice was quite loud.
"They really dare to ask for such an exorbitant amount!" The Xiao family members were furious upon hearing this.
“We have not infringed on any rights. Xiao’s Pharmaceutical’s Rejuvenating Pills and Awakening Pills are just similar in effect, but they are completely different drugs. We have various certificates from the Pharmacists Association to prove this.” Xiao’s lawyer stood up to defend the company and presented some materials.
“We have evidence to prove that Xiao’s Pharmaceuticals infringed on our rights.” Tong Qingyun winked and took out some more materials.
"The ingredients of Xiao's Pharmaceutical's Rejuvenating Pill are exactly the same as the upgraded version of the Awakening Pill that my Tong Family Pharmaceutical is developing. The Xiao family bribed our staff to steal the formula!"
A man was brought up.
"It was the Xiao family who bribed me with money and instructed me to steal the prescription..." the man testified in court.
"Slander! This is slander!" The Xiao family was alarmed. They never expected the Tong family to be so shameless and resort to such underhanded tactics.
"Silence!" the barrister shouted, banging his gavel.
"In court, only evidence matters!" he declared righteously.
The prosecutors went through the motions of verifying the evidence provided by the Tong family.
"As determined by this court, the evidence is valid, and Xiao's Pharmaceuticals has committed infringement. The verdict will now be announced!" the barrister shouted.
Song Wenjie and the Tong family members were all sneering, laughing at their successful conspiracy.
The Xiao family members were furious, but since everyone here was in cahoots, they were even deprived of their right to defend themselves.
"This battle is a battle for the Tong family to seize command!" The Tong family members laughed, their voices grating.
Dongfang Ruyi suddenly stood up.
She despises the abuse of power for personal gain and corruption.
“Miss Dongfang, if you have any questions, you can report them to your superiors, but if you want to interfere with the court’s decision, you have to follow the proper procedures!” the chief lawyer said without fear.
Clearly, they had some knowledge of Dongfang Ruyi's identity, but they were fearless and emboldened.
"This court pronounces its verdict..." The barrister raised his gavel.
“You have aided and abetted evil. From this moment on, you are no longer a chief lawyer,” Xiao Chen finally spoke, saying calmly.
"What did you say?" The barrister stared at him coldly.
"Ridiculous, who do you think you are? Do you think you can dismiss a top lawyer in court?" The Tong family members sneered.
"Why not?" Xiao Chen said coldly.
