Soon, the air fell into silence.

After that, Martha Cooper, the chairman of Cooper Group, bribed Zander with five million he saved from tax evasion.”

“Secondly, on March 15th last year, Cooper Group initiated open tender for the construction of ‘Huatan’ Apartment, through which Martha secretly concluded a deal with the tenderer. During the deal, he required the tenderer, also known as the contractor of the project, to bribe Zander, the director of the Construction Office of the City Hall, once again so that the project would go on smoothly. On May 21st this year, the official prosecuting authority received a letter from Dore, the contractor, reporting about the tax evasion and the bribery for Zander of about twenty five million. The letter contained the material of the private contract involved in this case, coupled with detailed list of bribery. Besides, the letter was verified by Zander himself.”

“Now, on behalf of the prosecuting authority, Martha Cooper is now being indicted.”

As he finished, the judge nodded, “Approved. The prosecutor may submit the evidence to

the trial bench.”

“Yes, your honor.” Jesse handed over the evidence to the court officer.

Then it was handed to the trial bench.

Jesse continued, “Your honor, may I present to the court the people involved in this case?”

“Approved.”

Dore was the first to present.

Sitting in the public gallery, Harrison fixed her eyes on this chubby middle-aged sloven.

Standing in the court, Dore looked a bit nervous.

Jesse walked over to him, “Don’t be nervous. Just answer my question honestly.”

“Okay.” Dore hurried to nod.

“Why did you report Martha to the authority? As far as I know, you have embezzled all the

fund for the construction and ran away. Do you know what it means once you return?”

“I know I will be sentenced to imprisonment. And I acknowledge that I have embezzled all the fund. However, it was Martha who pushed me too far. I was left no choice!”
