Mu Lanchao shoved his phone haphazardly into his bag, then remembered it and took it out of his bag to turn it off. Out of sight, out of mind, to avoid getting upset.
Trying to screw yourself over, damn it! Don't let him know who it is, or he'll definitely kill the other person!
"Please have the plaintiff's lawyer continue the defense."
The presiding judge looked in the direction of the plaintiff, his expression gentle.
Qin Suisui nodded and continued her defense.
"The defendant Zhang Bin's sister has maintained a romantic relationship with He Jiang, the ex-husband of my client Zhang Lan, for many years. The defendant Zhang Bin was aware of his sister Zhang Jun's romantic relationship with He Jiang, but did not inform Zhang Lan of the true situation. This constitutes malicious acquisition of the plaintiff's marital property!"
"I object!"
Wang Hui stood up to object, almost numbly.
"Objection overruled. The defendant is requested to provide valid evidence!"
The presiding judge frowned as he looked at the defendant's seat.
"Defendant's lawyer, do you have any evidence to prove that your objection is valid?"
Wang Hui glanced awkwardly at Mu Lanchao and Zhang Bin.
The judge's expression grew increasingly impatient.
"If there is no evidence, please have the defendant's lawyer sit down!"
Wang Hui could only slowly sit down. He looked helplessly at Zhang Bin, me, and Mu Lanchao, shrugged, and said that he was also helpless.
This is the helplessness of being suppressed by the other side. What's more, they have no valid evidence to refute it, and their defense is weak and feeble.
He hadn't felt this way in a long time, having been warned by the presiding judge time and again. He was experiencing the same feelings he had when he first left school, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Zhang Bin kept his head down the whole time, not saying a word. He was filled with shame and indignation, as well as regret and remorse. If he had known that this would happen, he should have refused the day he learned the truth.
Unfortunately, his opportunism and greed led him to become deeply entangled in it.
He sighed, blaming himself for not advising his sister earlier.
After one side presented an overwhelming defense, the presiding judge, after deliberation by the collegial panel, delivered the verdict in court.
"I hereby declare, everyone stand!"
After everyone in the courtroom stood up, the presiding judge announced the verdict in court.
"Zhang Bin's sister, Zhang Jun, had a long-term affair with the plaintiff's husband, He Jiang, before the signing of the 'Tripartite Agreement' and the 'Equity Transfer Agreement.' The defendant, Zhang Bin, and his sister, knowing that He Jiang and the plaintiff, Zhang Lan, might have problems in their marital relationship and that they could have notified Zhang Lan by phone or text message, signed the 'Tripartite Agreement' and the 'Equity Transfer Agreement' with He Jiang without informing the plaintiff or obtaining Zhang Lan's consent, which shows clear malice."
"It is thus known that Zhang Bin's signing of the 'Tripartite Agreement' with He Jiang and the transfer of 27% of the equity of Wenhui Pharmaceutical to Mu Lanchao, a shareholder of Wenhui Pharmaceutical, at a price lower than the market average value violated the terms of the 'Equity Transfer Agreement,' and Zhang Bin did not acquire the property in good faith or for consideration."
"Our court declares the 'Tripartite Agreement' and the 'Equity Transfer Agreement' invalid. The plaintiff, Zhang Lan, shall repurchase the 27% shares of Wenhui Pharmaceutical, which belong to the joint property of the plaintiff and her husband, at the original price within twenty working days from the date this judgment takes effect. If the plaintiff fails to make the purchase within the specified period, it shall be deemed as a voluntary waiver of her rights!"
Zhang Lan finally felt relieved when she heard the verdict. The equity dispute had tormented her for two years, especially in the last few days.
On the day of the last court hearing, she learned that He Jiang, that bastard, had been transferring her assets behind the scenes. She was so angry that she almost vomited blood. When she got home, she even thought about going to the cemetery to smash He Jiang's urn.
The next morning, she threw away all the clutter in the house that involved He Jiang.
She walked out of the courthouse and looked at the midday sun, dazzling and radiant, giving warmth while also carrying a scorching heat.
"Congratulations!"
Qin Lu's cold voice reached my ears.
She turned around and hugged Qin Suisui tightly.
"Qin Lu, thank you very much!"
Qin Suisui gently patted her shoulder, and the corners of her mouth slowly turned up.
You should thank yourself!
Fortunately, Zhang Lan is quite assertive. If she were a little softer, and someone like Mu Lanchao were to keep pushing her and setting traps at every turn, she might actually sell her shares and leave Wenhui Pharmaceutical.
After saying goodbye to Zhang Lan, Yue Hongxin finally asked her question while sitting in the car on the way back to the law firm.
"Lawyer Qin, what made you decide to investigate the people around President Mu?"
Qin Suisui glanced at her sideways and smiled.
"As a lawyer, before conducting an investigation, it is necessary to analyze every beneficiary, no matter how innocent and calm the person appears. The investigation of the individual and the relationships associated with him must be carried out diligently."
"besides……………."
Yue Hongxin silently recorded the experience and techniques that Qin Lu had told her in her mind until the car drove into the underground parking garage downstairs from the law firm.
Qin Suisui got out of the car, raised her wrist to check the time, and it was already close to one o'clock in the afternoon.
"Everyone, I'll treat you to a working lunch across the street today!"
The driver, Xiao Xu, got out of the car and, upon hearing Qin Lu speak, quickly said, "Qin Lu, I won't go. I'll just order takeout from the company!"
"Everyone go, no one is allowed to refuse!"
Qin Suisui said cheerfully, "Everyone has worked hard on this case for President Zhang. Today's lunch is not a proper meal. After President Zhang settles the legal fees in a few days, I will treat everyone in the law firm to a get-together. You can discuss where to go then!"
Since returning to China and joining the Law Offices of Rodton, she has been working at high speed, preparing for court hearings, and has not been able to find any free time to take her team out for a proper get-together.
The victory in the lawsuit against Huating Power and Wenhui Pharmaceutical can be considered the fruitful result of her hard work over this period of time.
It's necessary to treat everyone, which is also a way to relax together and deepen our friendship.
"Oh, that's great!"
Yue Hongxin was the most excited, as she had never had a meal with her colleagues at Rodon Law Firm since joining the firm.
Having just graduated from university, I still yearn for these kinds of gatherings and meals with colleagues.
She's already starting to think about team building activities and where to go for them.
"Assistant Yue, let's go!"
Yue Hongxin quickly followed: "Oh, coming, coming!"
