Offer To The CEO

Tuesday, continued …

Outside the court house, during the hearing:

At 10am, a car, shrouded in mystery pulled up right in front of the press pack waiting for the outcome of the court case involving Hou Yi, Anna, Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin. All anyone in the press knew was that there was someone that needed to speak to the press about one of the parties involved. With the assistance of security out climbed Du XuXu and her media adviser.

Once everyone was assembled, the Du XuXu, stood behind the media adviser who started to speak.

"Members of the press. During the weekend I was approached to assist this woman, Miss Du XuXu, from City A. Her story has been suppressed by CEO Hou, for over eighteen months, because he has a narrative he wants to portray in the media."

"Once I heard her story, I knew it was necessary that I stepped in to ensure her story and the truth can come out. Given her nerves, I have a statement that I will read our on her behalf. Afterwards, she will try and answer her questions. She is highly concerned for her safety, and it may become necessary for us to cut this short to allow her to leave the area before any harm befalls her."

"Just over eighteen months ago my client was in a quietly conducted relationship with CEO Hou Yi. My client was employed by a business in City A, and to protect that business we will not be naming it. My client was being blackmailed by a supervisor and confronted them. CEO Hou walked in towards the end of that confrontation and misunderstood the whole situation."

"What CEO Hou apparently overheard was my client telling her supervisor that she was willing to betray CEO Hou. That was not want was being said, she utterly refused to do this. Before she could defend herself CEO Hou humiliated her through verbal abuse without giving her a chance to say anything."

"My client was aware CEO Hou had a standing reservation at a particular hotel in City A. Given the relationship the hotel staff hew her on sight. To gain some courage before confronting the man she believed that she would spend her life with, she had a few drinks, but she ended up drunk. The hotel staff simply took her to CEO Hou's room and let her in."

"Before she could speak to him CEO Hou physically assaulted her and then, possibly sexually assaulted her. The following morning when she awoke CEO Hou was gone and left a note stating he wanted nothing to do with her and if there were any consequences from their relationship she should get rid of it"

"My client found herself pregnant, and contacted CEO Hou. She was simply told to have an abortion. CEO Hou denied to her that he was responsible stating that at the time that the attack occurred he was in the Hou Enterprises jet waiting to take off to head to Paris. My client refused to have an abortion and gave birth to a daughter, who has never seen her father."

"My client, collapsed mentally given the stress she was under a couple of months after he daughter was born, and placed into a sanatorium by her family to recover. Three weeks ago her child was taken, and not been seen. CEO Hou refuses to act to locate his daughter, return her to her mother and take any responsibility for his actions."

"This comes from a man, that claims to want to protect and support victims of intimate partner violence. Where is the justice for my client and her child?"

Looking up, she noticed movement inside the court building. "Members of the press, I fear for the safety of my client that we only have time for a couple of questions, as CEO Hou will likely be out soon be out."

The Adviser pointed to the reporter she had spoken to and worded up asked the agreed soft question "Miss Du, what are you wanting?"

Quietly, and not looking directly at the press Du XuXu said "All I want is my child back, her to be acknowledge as CEO Hou's daughter and heir. I also want him to pay for what he did to me."

The reporter followed up immediately with the second question he had agreed to ask "And how do you want him to pay?"

"He broke my heart with what he did. I was never allowed to explain what really happened, and that I was trying to help him. While I am not willing to say he raped me, he was angry and physically hurt me, when our daughter was conceived. Despite his breaking of his promise to marry me I do not want to ruin his marriage. All I want is justice for my daughter, who has been deprived of her father for her whole life, and impacted by my own mental health caused by the circumstances of her conception."

The press adviser looked up and saw someone, who she presumed was Yang Lin moving past the door, which was the prearranged signal to leave.

"Members of the press, I am seeing movement in the court building, which I fear might be CEO Hou. My client has made it clear to me that at this time she is not strong enough to confront CEO Hou, so we need to leave. As you know me, you know how to contact me, and should my client be willing we will talk further with you, but not for a few days."

With that she hurried Du XuXu into the vehicle and they left the area, with a press pack ready to go after Hou Yi when he left the court.

As the vehicle was leaving the media adviser, pulled out her mobile phone and sent a text message to CEO Lu as she could not message Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin.
