Chapter 542 Song Sui Helps Liang Yuxin Testify
Sang Ruo's expression suddenly turned cold, revealing a chilling aura: "So it was you."
She was right.
The only people who could have the motivation to do this, besides Wen Qingyi, are Liang Yuxin.
"It's me." Liang Yuxin felt extremely pleased to see her embarrassed: "As a consumer, if my rights are violated, I have the right to recover my losses."
She spoke with such self-righteousness that she showed no remorse whatsoever; on the contrary, she exuded an air of smugness.
As Sang Ruo watched Liang Yuxin walk towards her step by step, she sneered, "Whether it's a case of rights being violated or a frame-up, we'll see."
She believes that the law will not wrong people.
I also believe that the innocent will clear themselves, that things that were not done were not done, and that lies will eventually be exposed.
In court.
Attorney Wei, acting as the plaintiff's lawyer, presented the appraisal report to the judge: "Judge, this is the appraisal report that my client obtained from the Dewei Art Appraisal Center after purchasing the jade carving, Yu Lin. Please refer to it, court."
The judge took the expert report and asked the defendant, "Defendants, do you have anything to say?"
"Yu Lin's work was indeed designed by my client, but she purchased it through the internet, not through a legitimate channel, so there is a suspicion of framing her."
Attorney Wei immediately responded: "The defendant has no substantial evidence and is purely slandering my client. I have a witness who took the case at the time. Judge, I request that the witness testify in court."
"We agree to the plaintiff's claim and will bring the person up."
A man was brought into the courtroom by court staff.
Upon recognizing the person, Sang Ruo's pupils widened suddenly, her shock barely concealed: "Song Sui?!"
How did Song Sui end up here?
Could it be that he conspired with Liang Yuxin to deliberately frame her?
impossible.
Song Sui was not that kind of person.
"His name is Song Sui. He is an employee of Miss Sang Ruo's Chinese Studies Studio and Miss Sang's only assistant. Mr. Song, can you prove that the jade pendant was indeed shipped from your Chinese Studies Studio?"
Song Sui lowered her eyes, almost not daring to look Sang Ruo in the eye: "Yes, I was in charge of shipping the goods."
"Judge, I have finished speaking."
The judge turned to Sang Ruo, the defendant, and asked, "Defendants, do you have any objections to this?"
"Song Sui, did Liang Yuxin bribe you? Why did you help her commit perjury?"
The artwork was indeed designed by her, and the sender was indeed Song Sui, but she really did not plagiarize.
She didn't know why the appraisal report said she plagiarized.
Why did Song Sui side with Liang Yuxin?
He knew perfectly well that she and Liang Yuxin had never gotten along, yet he still testified for her.
Song Sui lowered his head even further, not daring to lift it even slightly: "I'm sorry, Sister Xiaoruo, I'm just telling the truth, no one tried to bribe me."
"Then why don't you dare to raise your head and speak?"
Sang Ruo had worked with him for quite some time and knew what kind of person he was: "Song Sui, you can tell me what difficulties you have, but never help this kind of person commit perjury, or you will be held legally responsible!"
"Let me give you a piece of advice: never do anything you'll regret. Some things, once done, can never be undone!"
Although she didn't know why Song Sui was helping Liang Yuxin commit perjury, she knew that if the case were overturned someday, he would also bear some responsibility.
In that case, I might end up in jail too.
Song Sui suddenly raised her head and stared at her intently: "Sister Xiaoruo, I'm just telling the truth."
“You…” Sang Ruo was almost speechless with anger.
The defense lawyer quietly said to her, "Ms. Sang, it seems he has been bribed. With this witness and the expert report, it's unlikely we'll win this case."
There was nothing we could do; the other side's evidence was simply too overwhelming.
Not only was there an expert report, but Song Sui was also a witness to corroborate her testimony, which strengthened the validity of the other party's claims.
It's difficult for the judge not to rule in their favor.
"Is there really no other way?" Sang Ruo asked incredulously. "If we lose this case, it won't just be a matter of paying compensation; I might even face imprisonment."
She didn't want to go back to jail because of this.
She had just gained her freedom, and she hadn't married Ayan yet; she couldn't just go in like that.
For the first time, the defense lawyer felt powerless: "I'm sorry, Ms. Sang, it seems the other side came prepared. Our evidence is not as sufficient as theirs, so I'm afraid it will be difficult."
Seeing that they remained silent for a long time, the judge almost tacitly agreed that they could not produce any other witness evidence, but still, out of professionalism, asked one more question: "Defendant, do you have any new evidence that you need to supplement?"
"We are gone."
The judge then announced the verdict: "This court hereby finds Ms. Sang Ruo guilty of plagiarism. She is sentenced to imprisonment for not less than three years, suspended, effective immediately."
After the event, everyone dispersed, and Sang Ruo walked out of the courthouse feeling weak. Bo Jinyan was already waiting for her at the door.
Seeing her so distracted, Bo Jinyan couldn't help but catch up and ask, "Attorney Wang, how did it go? Did you win the case?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Bo, we've lost this case." Attorney Wang was also surprised that the opposing side suddenly produced a witness: "The opposing side has new witness testimony, so Ms. Sang has lost."
"Fortunately, it's a suspended sentence, so we can continue to look for evidence and try to overturn the verdict."
Upon hearing this, Bo Jinyan was somewhat incredulous: "Attorney Wang, you are a big name in copyright lawsuits in Beijing. Even you are helpless?"
"Mr. Bo, the other side bribed the employees in Ms. Sang's studio. They have evidence and witnesses, so it was going to be very difficult for them to win."
Attorney Wang didn't want to lose either, but things never go as planned. What could he do?
Sang Ruo was so disappointed that she didn't say a word, and she seemed to be extremely depressed.
Seeing his absent-minded appearance broke Bo Jinyan's heart.
Bo Jinyan couldn't blame him: "Alright, you can go back now. If there are any developments in the case, remember to let me know as soon as possible."
"Okay, then I'll be going now, Mr. Bo."
After saying goodbye to him, Attorney Wang left.
Bo Jinyan helped Sang Ruo into the car, and Liang Yuxin watched them get in, a smug smile curving her lips.
Can't you even handle this little setback?
You better be strong, the real show is just beginning.
Liang Yuxin withdrew her gaze, saw off Attorney Wei, and quickly left.
Inside the black Maybach.
Bo Jinyan kept comforting her: "Xiao Ruo, don't be sad. It's just that you lost the case. I will continue to find new evidence for you and I won't let you go to jail again."
He knew she had a fear of places like prison.
