"Call Kotaro to come here!!!"

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Imanishi's angry voice echoed in the conference room at the Kawamoto Expressway headquarters. The angry voice passed through the glass door of the conference room and was reflected in the corridor outside the door. No one in the company dared to call the chairman Kotaro by his name.

I didn't even dare to mention it in private. After the angry shouting, the employees in the corridor immediately looked sideways at the conference room.

All the company executives in the conference room looked at each other in confusion. No one expected that the director of the law firm, who had been working together for nearly twenty years, would be so disrespectful and shout out Kotaro's name angrily.

Fujiki, the legal director of Kawamoto Expressway who was standing next to him, couldn't help but change his expression when he saw this scene. He wanted to relax and cool down the tense mood in the room.

"Director Imanishi, why is this necessary?" Fujiki said with a smile, and then placed a cup of tea that had been poured in front of Imanishi.

"You are still studying law. You were a lawyer before. Don't you know the consequences of submitting forged materials to the court?!" Imanishi scolded the legal director Fujiki without mercy.

The reason why Imanishi can call Koutarou by his first name is because they have formed a high degree of trust in each other and an almost brotherly relationship during their more than ten years of cooperation. Imanishi and Koutarou recognize each other's talents and appreciate each other, just like

It was like the sympathy between strong men. He and Koutarou had already transcended the relationship between an ordinary client and a lawyer.

However, precisely because of this, Imanishi cannot tolerate Kotaro's deceiving him even more.

The door of the conference room made a "click" sound, and the doorknob turned and was pushed open.

But he saw Kotaro walking in. Although Kotaro usually had a majestic face, he also had an apologetic smile on his face at this moment. He had already heard Imanishi shouting to him from a distance in the conference room.

"Barrister Imanishi, why do you look so angry?" Kotaro walked to the conference table, sat down slowly and smiled.

"Koutarou! Do you know! Submitting forged evidence to the court will constitute the crime of false prosecution!!" Imanishi didn't care about any dignity. The veins on his neck popped out one after another, and his eyes swelled due to emotional fluctuations.

Bloodshot, he shouted directly to Kotaro.

This kind of anger is a natural reaction for a lawyer.

Forging evidence is the biggest legal risk faced by lawyers in practice.

Sometimes the lawyer himself has no legal awareness and instigates the client to forge evidence. Sometimes the lawyer knows that the evidence is forged, but allows the client to submit forged evidence. Once the forged evidence is discovered, the lawyer will accept disciplinary action from the bar association at the least, and face the risk at worst.

The lawyer's license was revoked and criminal proceedings were pursued. Therefore, Kawamoto Expressway was playing with fire with Imanishi's lawyer career by submitting forged evidence behind Imanishi's back.

"I don't know that the people below would do this. Fujiki, what is going on? You have to find out carefully and explain it to lawyer Imanishi." Kotaro raised his head and motioned to Fujiki. Fujiki quickly bent down and bowed beside him.

Apologize to Jinxi.

Imanishi ignored the actions of Fujiki next to him and looked at the chairman in front of him with cold eyes, "Koutaro, let me ask you again whether the Kawamoto Expressway has fulfilled its maintenance obligations in accordance with national standards."

The voice was cold.

Like a sword unsheathed.

In the past, the two partners who had a relationship like brothers, at this moment, actually had a bit of hostility and hatred towards each other.

The smile on Koutarou's face gradually faded, and it was obvious that he had realized that this brother of more than ten years was really angry. "We have been together for so many years, don't you still understand me, don't you still trust me?!

"Koutarou asked in a slightly higher tone.

Imanishi closed his eyes and sighed. The next moment, his closed eyes suddenly opened, just like the sleeping king of beasts suddenly opened his eyes in a dark cave. Those eyes were full of coldness.

It seemed as if he could directly kill any creature that broke into the cave. The anger in Imanishi's body instantly turned into five short words, spewing out like bullets.

“Answer me head on!!!!”

These five words echoed in the conference room.

Everyone present was stunned, as if they were frozen in place in an instant.

Koutarou's face trembled and he tried hard to control his facial expression. Since he took charge of the Kawamoto Expressway, no one had ever rebuked him in person like this. Koutarou could not help but feel anger gradually rising in his heart.

"Kawamoto Expressway is a listed company, and we abide by the law." Kotaro gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice. He had already given his old friend the greatest face.

In the conference room, what was once a brotherhood has now turned into tension with each other.

However, just when everyone thought that Imanishi and the company's chairman were about to quarrel, they saw Imanishi, the director of the law firm. The anger in his eyes gradually dissipated, and his eyes dimmed a little. There was a hint of concern in his eyes.

The disappointment of an old friend.

"You have changed, Koutarou. You used to not say such things. You used to be a talented entrepreneur. At that time, you hated these hypocritical words the most. Now...now even you

It has become like this.”

The suddenly tense confrontation immediately dissipated.

It turned into a sigh from an old friend.

Imanishi's brief words seemed to stir up ripples in the heart of the chairman in front of him.

It touched the fragile and hidden corner of this god-like figure's heart.

The ripples in my heart kept expanding.

Gradually, a raging wave formed, and it gathered into a tsunami that seemed to be a hundred meters high.

Koutarou's face, which had always been full of majesty, arrogance and indifference, finally showed a trace of emotion that could only be found in this world.

Kotaro turned his head and said to the company executives around him: "You all should go out."

In an instant, the crowd of people quickly exited the room like worker bees receiving instructions.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The door of the conference room was locked with a crisp "click".

In the large conference room, only Imanishi and Koutarou were left.

The silent atmosphere was like the moment before a storm. Outside the window, a thunder suddenly exploded in the clear Tokyo night sky, and white lightning illuminated the conference room. The thunder and lightning seemed to have directly hit the Shinjuku Center Building.

A lightning rod was placed on the top of the building, and in an instant, the entire 54-story building was shaking faintly.

The next moment, Kotaro's almost hoarse and crazy roar sounded directly in the conference room.

"After so many years! Who else has understood me! Who else!!" The emotions in Koutarou's heart burst out at this moment." His whole body trembled violently because of his excitement.

"Do you know? Imanishi! Do you know? Do you know what the condition of the expressway is now!" Kotaro's eyes were instantly filled with unprecedented bloodshot eyes, like a patient suffering from eye diseases, "You

Do you know what kind of desperate situation our expressway company is in now?! Do you know how meager our company’s real profits are every year?!”

"Bank! Bank!! Our enemy is the bank first. Our annual income is directly taken a bloody bite by the bank in the name of "interest"!"

"Then came the local city halls! These eloquent Japanese politicians clearly agreed that they would jointly build the highway together. It was a joint venture! They would provide part of it and we would provide part of it! But when the highway construction finally started,

They all disappeared without a trace. We can only advance the money ourselves!!!”

"It has been clearly agreed that the local municipalities will collect road tolls to repay our loans. However, these local municipalities are doing everything possible to default on paying us the tolls we deserve!!!"

"There is also the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under the cabinet. This year the new cabinet passed legislation. Our highway toll collection period has been cut from 60 years to 30 years. After 30 years, the highway will not have any revenue, and such a huge

Maintenance expenses are still there, still are there!! Who is going to pay these expenses, who is going to pay?! Our company will be completely drained!!!"

"How many media outlets are calling our expressway company a vampire. How many people are calling us for setting up a toll gate, just like robbers, trying to make money on the highway."

"We invested huge amounts of money to build 36% of the highways in Japan. What an amazing achievement! But who would have thought that we would become poorer and poorer as we built more and more! You know, Imanishi, when

You look at the painstakingly managed enterprise that has built the most amazing highway in the world. However, for such an amazing enterprise, its profits are constantly decreasing every day, just like a terminally ill person.

Same, destined to die."

"What on earth is going on in this world?! What's going on?!" Kotaro clenched his fist and hit the conference table hard, causing the entire steel frame under the table to buzz and scream.

"How many media and reporters told me to pity the poor people and lower the highway tolls. But I was like a dog, kneeling in front of those people from securities and banks, begging them to give me a financing and

When I was taking out the loan, at that time, who else had pity on me?! Pity me, Kotaro!"

Like a human emperor, Kotaro, who never showed his emotions, finally revealed his true feelings.

Imami's expression changed, and he couldn't help but be faintly touched by these words, and sat down.

"Imanishi, I just need a little more time. As long as I get through this period, when I become the successor of the Kawamoto Group, I won't have to worry about these things anymore." Kotaro's hair was a little messy and he was sitting on the chair.

In the conference room, Imanishi and Kotaro sat opposite each other, like two bronze statues of warriors standing there.

"What about forging evidence? If the court really wants to pursue it, you can't escape it." Imanishi's voice rang out.

"Don't worry, they won't find out."

"But the other party applied for a forensic appraisal."
