Parole

"We have to apply for parole early," a man suited in his navy blue coat spoke, he was the head of six advocates of this panel hired by Ling corporation for a civil case.

"Is there no way to negotiate? I mean this case if proceeded would effect my business," senior Ling was seated in his private suite, this retinue was the most expensive and luxurious.

The hotel itself was luxury hotel in the entire city.

Senior Ling was thoughtful when he decided this meeting to be held here, the lawyers were top class and experienced and reknowned for the civil cases they fought, if they walked around in his business offices then it would create questions in the minds of onlookers especially the foreign guests.

"We cannot file for mediation before the first hearing according to law," the lawyer shook his head.

They have studied the case and they were suspicious that they might be supporting an actual criminal but being lawyer, they would only focus to win the case pushing aside the sense of self justice.

"We need to talk with miss Ling before we submit for parole, it is few hours before the end of notified time," the head of other lawyers saw on his wrist watch.

He wanted to have a clear understanding of the accident and wanted to ask few questions from her.

The Ling corporation has paid handsome price to defend this case and it was his priority to clear his first to advance further.

He has read the filed case copy and the bearings the opponent lawyer attached with it, it was troublesome that he directly attached a strong evidence with the filing and in the appealing procedure which resulted in immediate approval from the civil court.

Senior Ling stood up from his seat and put his both hands on the crystal like railings of the elite suite of the hotel and gripped tightly, his face was contorted.

"Xiao Xiong, I know what you are thinking but I don't care if it was my daughter who was careless, I want you to win the case at any cost, that's why I paid you the amount you never dreamed of," senior Ling was angry, he was really angry at the young man who dared to go against him despite knowing who he was.

And more of that he stood in front of him as if intentionally triggering his ego, and his ego was slapped as soon as he received the notification from the court.

He also wanted to equally slap that young man if possible harder than him.

Now it was no more about the case itself, it was about the ego of two males confronting each other.

People would lower their eyes in front of Ling tycoon while that lad was like stone pillar standing erected on his ground in front of him and more of that humiliating his goodwill.

He wanted to spare him from trouble of facing court and wanted him to live a peaceful life and focus on raising up his younger sister but he was bent on to not listen him.

Xiao Xiong heard the stiffened tone of senior Ling, "I understand Mr. Ling, and I will make sure that the case won't go in the press or on any medium to effect the Ling corporation, I am planning to submit a request to court for this purpose," he picked some documents he has already prepared.

Ling turned his face to look at the head of this panel and shook his head.

But he has no issue with it too.

Since it was also necessary to not damage his reputation and the business because of this case.

"I think, we will be able to do through mediation, after all, it would be proposed by the court after first hearing," the second lawyer spoke.

Other lawyers agreed and Ling could see them racking on this idea, "Let me tell all of you, I have met that man who filled this case and his tone and behavior was that of no compromise and I am pretty sure he would apply to skip the mediation application of the court," Ling sat on his comfortable chair.

He wanted them to prepare beforehand, it would be better to prepare rather than to remain Ignorant.

Mr. Ling looked at their expressions, he knew what they were thinking, but it was none of his business.

He got a phone call from his office, he stood up to receive it, the new product launch was going it's promotion on every media outlet and needed to assign the second promotion a look out.

He talked his secretary to give the permission since he was in a more serious meeting and he won't come today in the office.

He hung up the phone and received a text.

His daughter sent a text that she was reaching in ten minutes.

She was parking her luxury Porsche.

Her outfit was leather lady pants and leather jacket with the tops, all in light orange except the top which was white blaze.

The lawyers looked at each other, now the head Xiao Xiong was looking more serious, he was thinking all this time why Mr. Ling hired a whole panel and spent extravagant amount on him? He knew the cases solved through mediation ratio was higher than a case keep going.

And through his influence, Mr. Ling could easily settle this case by compensating a higher amount to the victim or his family but now that he flashed out the actual reason of going through all this procedure struck his senses, it would definitely be going tough.

The thing was more concerned, and he don't wish to do it firsthand, as a professional esteemed lawyer, he don't want to commit it.

The lawyers stood up when they saw the girl walking toward the open area of this suite.

Though they were all above forties but it cannot stop them to look at her and stare quite a bit just to cool down their eyes.
