Battered Young Miss 89 Tribute 26

ShanXi group's third soldier, Tao Jun known by the name "Big Sister Cixi" named after a very important historical figure.

Judge Pan Tingzhe knew the records of Tao Jun was sealed, he only saw her as the "errand girl of the group, but did not see that she was more than what he supposedly thought her duties was at ShanXi group. A big organization that carried out crimes in a very refined manner, making it difficult for the police to nab any of the members. The rule of the group was simple, get captured and die. Meaning any of them that was taken into police custody while carrying out a "job" for the group, must immediately put an end to their life by the tiny pellet hidden within the ring on their index finger, by forming a tight fist which unlocks the contraption within to reveal a tiny needle containing potent dose of heroine, which the member will jab it straight at the part of their body that was easily accessible. This toxic substance caused such a painful death to the member of ShanXi group.

Since the lawyer was now a reformed member of a crime family, the ring was taken from her and other things that would tie her to ShanXi group.

Judge Pan Tingzhe laughed before saying, "You can't escape out of where you are, just quietly sit there until I'm ready to leave."

The Judge did not see the smile of a promise of retribution, which flickered for a moment before disappearing from her face. As number three of ShanXi group, Tao Jun was well versed in the use of knives, with pinpoint accuracy. Although, she appeared calm, the mind of the young woman worked out strategies to escape out of the hold of Judge Pan Tingzhe, because no matter how strong she was as a former gangster, there was no telling how many people she will be meeting at the place the Judge will be sending her to, likely a den of depravity.

The sound of flashing bulbs kept going almost without stopping, at the large conference hall of Zhang Corporation located on the ground floor of the company, there stood Zhang Tianyu in a room of reporters, that furiously typed on their computers the statement he was reading from a paper in front of him. The fifty something year old current President to such a large company, stood behind a glass stand with mics from various new stations. He hadn't had anything to eat nor refreshed himself since the time of the ruling. This dramatic look was to incur the sympathy of the press while delivering his speech.

"I, Zhang Tianyu, President of Zhang Corporation, will like to bring to the notice of the public of the passing away of my beloved niece, Zhang Mi. It pains my heart greatly to have to bury the only child of my late brother, who left neither a husband nor offspring behind. It is with a heavy heart full of duty to the company and public, that the Zhang family ask their privacy remain undisturbed. She passed away from complications that occurred as a result of the surgery from the accident she and a "friend" was involved in. The burial ceremony will be held low keyed at the burial site of her late parents, QingYi district which is an hour away. I will like to beg both the press and public to be more understanding and let the Zhang family mourn in peace."

After reading his statement as the President of Zhang Corporation to the press, Zhang Tianyu gave a deep bow to end his speech.

"President Zhang! When did she die? Will there be an autopsy? To rule out medical malpractice or negligence?!"

Meanwhile, Gao Yifeng stood by the far end of the stage where Zhang Tianyu was at the middle. He saw the President of Zhang Corporation swallow repeatedly from the question that a male reporter threw at him.

Straightening his shoulders, Zhang Tianyu worked up the courage to give an answer.

"There will be no autopsy unless required by the police, the Zhang family has the right to reject such form of body mutilation. My niece already suffered much by undergoing a necessary surgery, I do not want her body hacked again, just to satisfy the curiosity of some of you."

Zhang Tianyu tried to hide the trembling in his hands from nerves, as he clutched tightly at the stand where he stood behind. The seat in the room was half filled, as many sat on the chairs and tables made of expensive brown wood. The only ones that stood were the camera men, whose job was to televise the even that was happening at Zhang Corporation.

"Who gets to keep the heiress's former residence and other earthly possession?"

This time the question came from a female reporter who looked to be in her late thirties.

"Title of President of Zhang Corporation, Zhang villa and others assets that my niece had is a property of Zhang Corporation, this is a loophole with so many legalities attached, in his will his daughter, who is my niece was to inherit Zhang Corporation's title as President, but there is a clause stating that a Zhang family member can take over on grounds of abuse of power as President of the company, which she was erroneously accused of doing. I'm happy that she didn't die with the issue unresolved. To answer your question, Zhang villa falls under Zhang Corporation. As the current President, I can either reclaim it as my right in accordance to the legal system of the company or sell it and have the people working there dismissed with severance pay. All assets as President of Zhang Corporation is company owned, including the cars she had under her possession, her late father made acquisition of properties through the company's account. As such, the loophole was never addressed even when my niece was President, the process of handling over to her as the company President has now been stalled, because of the tragic loss that befell the Zhang family."

There was a finality in the tone that Zhang Tianyu used in addressing the press with him, he had a worn out look whose purpose was to incur the pity of the reporters.

"President President Zhang, is there a way to have the legal technicalities taken care of?"

The reply of Zhang Tianyu to the male reporter was a very curt one, "That is for the legal support team to handle, I will not be accepting any more questions."

With that said, the President of Zhang Tianyu walked out from the room of reporters, closely followed by his aide.
