Chapter: 6392

"No way!" Shao Changkun didn't hide anything, speaking straightforwardly: "I am regretting it! It's hard to make money these days, and I suddenly donated so much. Yes, I was a bit impulsive."

The lawyer smiled slightly: "Sorry, sir, but we can't take on this kind of case."

"What's the reason?" Shao Changkun asked unconsciously: "Do you think the chances are too low, or that I gave you too little at 20%?"

The lawyer smiled: "How can I say? The chances aren't high, but they're not non-existent either. As for the risk-taking proxy, it's actually not that low either."

Shao Changkun was puzzled and asked him: "Then why do you say you can't take on this case? Isn't that a contradiction?"

The lawyer explained: "We don't take every case either. Some cases we prioritize profit, some cases we prioritize reputation. If it's an expensive case like the one with the wife who spent millions on her husband and then wants to get back at him, we'll find a way to crack it; but if it's someone who has been keeping a mistress for years, playing around with her body and emotions, and then ditches her and sues her in court to get back all the money he spent on her, although the win rate is high, we generally don't take such cases because they're easy to criticize."

As he spoke, he looked at Shao Changkun again: "Like you, who donated and then immediately regretted it, wanting to get your money back through litigation. We definitely won't want to take on such a case. Such cases usually have high social attention points, and once the lawsuit starts, there's a good chance they'll be reported by the media. At that time, you won't be able to hold your head up in public, we won't be able to stand upright in front of the public either, let alone go to court together like a pair of old fools."

Shao Changkun was shocked and blurted out: "What's wrong? The media will pay attention to such things?"

"That's not the point?" the lawyer asked him back: "Such cases always have high attention rates. If someone wins the lottery, they'll definitely follow up on how much he donated; if a natural disaster occurs in some place, people will pay attention to whether public figures donated and how much..."

"In fact, donating to charity and then regretting it and wanting to get your money back through litigation - such cases don't happen every year. For the media, it's definitely a very newsworthy story, and all court judgments are publicly available, so anyone can see the verdict documents. You'll just have to prepare yourself if you want to go after this lawsuit."

Shao Changkun was suddenly plunged into deep despair within himself, only wanting to get his money back but not thinking about how such a thing could become public knowledge.

Pei Weilong had just said over the phone that he would do his best to help him hold onto this position as vice-president, but if another scandal broke out involving donating and then regretting it, wanting to get your money back through litigation, Pei Weilong probably wouldn't be able to save himself either.

Ruminating for half a day, Shao Changkun's consciousness sank into despair, realizing that he might really be unable to get his 300,000 yuan back.

Just thinking about this, his whole emotional state suddenly spiraled out of control, and he cried out, "What kind of karma have I created? What kind of karma have I created! I've wasted so much time and money on travel expenses, Dubai, Dubai, Beijing, Beijing... I flew round-trip, spent all my money, and now I can't even hold onto my original position. Who in the world is more miserable than me?"

The lawyer saw Shao Changkun's emotional collapse and quickly approached him to calm him down, saying, "Don't get too worked up. If you really want to sue, it's not that difficult. Just prove that the 300,000 yuan came from a legitimate source, wasn't illegal or tax evasion, and then explain to the court why you impulsively donated it, and the court might support your request."

Shao Changkun broke down crying and asked him, "Ah? Do I have to prove where the 300,000 yuan came from?"

The lawyer chuckled and said, "Of course! This is the crucial point! Let me give you an analogy. If you were to use telecommunications fraud to get your hands on this 300,000 yuan and then try to donate it through a charity organization to get it back, wouldn't that be equivalent to using the charity organization to launder money?"

"I... I..." Shao Changkun was completely hopeless, crying out, "Cheating people! Cheating people! Even God is cheating me!"

As he spoke, he turned his back and wiped away tears before walking out.

If what the lawyer said were true, he would have to prove that the 300,000 yuan came from a legitimate source. In this regard, he had already lost the battle. What's the point of even filing a lawsuit?

At this moment, he felt completely defeated, no longer thinking about trying to recover his 30,000 yuan and only wanting to escape the city as soon as possible.

In the end, he had to sneak back home without being able to go back to his family. He sat by the roadside, crying and opening the booking software on his phone, seeing that the ticket to Dubai was not available until tomorrow morning, but he could only book an economy class ticket, feeling unbearable pain in his heart.

He bought the ticket, thinking about the eight-hour flight ahead of him, and his mood was already close to exploding. He then thought about Hae-mi-jeong's upcoming wedding, and how Guo-en-jian was so excellent, while he himself was now in such a pitiful state, his heart even more shattered than before, wanting to slap himself several times to vent his anger.

He reviewed the whole ordeal, realizing that everything was entirely his own doing, feeling even more regretful for not being able to turn back time. If I had another chance, I would never again have such a twisted idea!

At this moment, a hotel's business car approached Shao Changkun from beside him, with Steve Rosschandler sitting alone in the back seat, looking at Shao Changkun who was sitting on the roadside, crying and hugging his knees through the window, without fail muttering to himself: "This must be what they say online, that adults can collapse in an instant?"
