After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

Investigator Zhou rubbed his sore eyes. He felt tired and frustrated after several days of investigation without any progress. He casually clicked on a forum to relax his tense nerves. The forum was full of gossips. He browsed casually, but a post title suddenly caught his eye - "I heard that XX company has made a big move recently? Inside information, absolutely explosive!"

XX Company is exactly the competitor that Yan Jin and Xiang Yu suspected!

Investigator Zhou's heart tightened and he immediately clicked on the post. The content of the post was some groundless rumors without any substantive content. But he noticed that in the reply to the post, someone mentioned an anonymous chat group, which was said to be a gathering place for employees of XX Company.

With a try-it attitude, Investigator Zhou joined the chat group according to the link provided in the post. The group was very active, and employees discussed various internal company matters without restraint. Investigator Zhou hid among the lurkers and observed silently.

Suddenly, a message popped up: "Hahaha, this time our new product has borrowed a lot of Y&X's ideas, let's see how they can compete with us!"

Y&X is Yan Jin’s company!

Investigator Zhou was shocked. This message was undoubtedly important evidence of infringement! He immediately started to look through the previous chat records and found a lot of discussions about plagiarizing Y&X's product design and technology.

He excitedly took screenshots of all the relevant information and saved them. Then he immediately contacted Yan Jin and Xiang Yu, saying with undisguised excitement: "I found the key evidence!"

Yan Jin and Xiang Yu quickly rushed to the cafe where Investigator Zhou was and asked anxiously, "What is the evidence?"

Investigator Zhou handed them the phone, pointed to the chat history on the screen, and explained in detail what had happened.

"Great!" Xiang Yu clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with victory.

Yan Jin thought calmly for a few seconds and said, "We must contact Expert Sun as soon as possible and have him identify the evidence and confirm its validity."

Soon, expert witness Sun arrived at Yan Jin's company. He carefully reviewed the evidence provided by Investigator Zhou and asked some detailed questions. The room was silent, and everyone's eyes were fixed on expert Sun, waiting for his final conclusion.

After a long while, Expert Sun raised his head and slowly said, "...the evidence is very strong..." "...the evidence is very strong, enough to prove that XX Company infringed on Y&X Company." Expert Sun said affirmatively, "especially the discussion about product design drawings and core technology codes in the chat records, as well as their internal admission of plagiarism. These are very direct evidence."

After hearing the expert's conclusion, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief. The huge stone that had been weighing on their hearts for days finally fell to the ground. Yan Jin had always believed in his own judgment, but the law was rigorous. Only by finding solid evidence could one truly safeguard one's rights and interests. And now, they had finally waited for this day.

"Great!" Xiang Yu couldn't hide his excitement and held Yan Jin's hand. "I knew that the products you designed were so good, they must have plagiarized them!"

Yan Jin was slightly startled, then gently pulled back his hand and said calmly: "Now is not the time to relax, we still have to start the legal process as soon as possible and make them pay for their actions."

Xiang Yu also restrained his emotions and nodded seriously: "You are right, I have contacted the lawyer team, they will prepare the litigation materials as soon as possible and file a lawsuit in court."

In the next few days, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu were both busy with preparations. They sorted out all the relevant information, confirmed the details with their lawyers over and over again, and tried their best to make a well-founded argument in court and bring the other party to justice.

After XX Company learned that Yan Jin and Xiang Yu had the key evidence, the company was in chaos. They originally thought that the plagiarism was done perfectly, but they didn't expect that Yan Jin would find such solid evidence.

“What should we do now? If they really take us to court, we will definitely be found guilty of infringement. Not only will we have to pay huge compensation for losses, but the company’s reputation will also be seriously affected!” The CEO of XX Company paced back and forth in the office, extremely anxious.

"How about we try to contact Yan Jin and see if we can reach a private settlement?" the marketing director suggested cautiously.

The CEO stopped, frowned, thought for a moment, and slowly said: "You go and make arrangements and contact Yan Jin as soon as possible, and say..." "...Just say that we are willing to compensate and apologize publicly, and hope that she can show mercy and not make a big deal out of this." The CEO of XX Company took a deep breath, as if he had made a difficult decision.

The marketing director took the order and quickly contacted Yan Jin. On the phone, he lowered his posture, expressed XX Company's willingness to reconcile, and promised to give Y&X Company a satisfactory compensation.

Yan Jin listened to the other party's proposal without any hesitation. "Thank you very much for your 'apology' and 'compensation', but Y&X Company is never afraid of any unfair competition. We insist on using legal weapons to protect our rights and interests." After saying that, Yan Jin firmly rejected the request for reconciliation and hung up the phone neatly.

"How is it? What did President Yan say?" Seeing the marketing director coming back, the CEO of XX Company asked anxiously, with a hint of expectation in his tone.

“Yan Jin refused the settlement. She said…” The marketing director stammered, not daring to look directly at the CEO’s increasingly gloomy face.

"She said she would fight us to the end!" The office door was suddenly pushed open, and Xiang Yu walked in with a cold and powerful aura. He walked straight to the CEO of XX Company and said in a cold tone, "You have violated intellectual property rights, so you should bear the corresponding legal responsibilities. It is wishful thinking to use money to settle the matter!"

Xiang Yu's appearance and tough attitude completely cut off XX Company's idea of ​​reconciliation. They realized that they had offended someone they shouldn't have offended, and their original idea of ​​settling the matter peacefully turned into a dilemma.

After seeing Xiang Yu off, Yan Jin returned to her office and rubbed her temples tiredly. The table was piled with various documents and materials. The litigation process was more cumbersome and energy-consuming than she had imagined.

"Are you still busy?" Xiang Yu's voice sounded at the door, holding a cup of steaming coffee in his hand, "I told you to let me handle it. You need to have a good rest."

"The case is almost ready, and we're just waiting for the trial." Yan Jin took the coffee and took a sip. "I'm just wondering, will the outcome of this lawsuit really be what we want?"

"Yes, good will prevail over evil. We have the evidence, and the law will give us a fair result." Xiang Yu walked behind her and gently pressed her shoulders. "Besides, you are not fighting alone."

Yan Jin raised her head and met Xiang Yu's determined eyes, and a warm current surged in her heart. Yes, she still had him, and the entire Y&X company was fighting side by side.

A few days later, the court formally accepted the lawsuit filed by Y&X against XX. As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the industry... The news that the court accepted the case was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up a thousand waves in the industry. For a time, the infringement case between Y&X and XX became the focus of everyone's discussion.

Yan Jin and Xiang Yu were not affected by the outside noise. They knew that the direction of public opinion was changing rapidly, and only by mastering solid evidence could they win the final victory in court. In recent days, they and their lawyer team repeatedly deliberated on the defense strategy and analyzed the case, striving to be foolproof.

"Boom boom boom——"

A crisp knock on the door interrupted the tense discussion in the conference room. Investigator Zhou walked in quickly with an unconcealed joy on his face. "Mr. Xiang, Mr. Yan, we found it!" He excitedly raised the file bag in his hand, "This is new evidence we found, which can directly prove that XX company still used Y&X company's patented technology knowingly!"

Yan Jin and Xiang Yu looked at each other and saw surprise and hope in each other's eyes.

Expert witness Sun took the document and read it carefully. As an authoritative expert in the field of intellectual property, he saw the importance of this evidence at a glance, "This document is very critical. With it, we can completely defeat XX Company's defense and win this case!"

However, just when the dawn of victory was about to shine, an anonymous email broke the brief peace. The content of the email was very simple, with only one sentence: "Give up the lawsuit, otherwise you will bear the consequences at your own risk."

The short text was full of threats and intimidation. Yan Jin's fingers tightened slightly around the phone, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"Don't worry about it." Xiang Yu took the phone and deleted the email without hesitation. "They are just making their last struggle."

Yan Jin nodded, "We will not yield to any threats."

A few days later, with the sound of a gavel, the trial officially began. As the plaintiff's attorney, Lawyer Lin stood up slowly and said, "Judge, judge, we..." Before he finished speaking, the door of the courtroom was suddenly pushed open, and a tall man walked in hurriedly and whispered something in the defendant's lawyer's ear. The defendant's lawyer's face changed and he stood up suddenly...
