"Sis, how did your talks go?"
As soon as Liu Yanran returned, Liu Yang asked eagerly, "What did that bastard Wang Qian say to you?"
"Everything's done!"
Liu Yanran smiled smugly, "We just need to wait for the court hearing, this farce will be over soon!"
"Sister, what do you mean by that?"
Liu Yang seemed to understand but not quite, "What exactly did you say to Wang Qian?"
"He agreed to drop the lawsuit!"
Liu Yanran immediately recounted in detail her conversation with Wang Qian.
In order to show off her achievements, when talking about how Wang Qian gradually compromised with her, she emphasized the changes in Wang Qian's expression.
After listening, not only Liu Yang, but also Yin Zheng and other lawyers raised by the Liu family were full of admiration.
"Sis, it has to be you!"
Liu Yang flattered, "No matter how capable Wang Qian is, in the end you still have him completely under your control!"
Yin Zheng then said, "Miss Liu, now that you've reached an agreement with Wang Qian, does that mean our plan to find excuses to delay the time is no longer useful?"
"No need!"
Liu Yanran waved her hand, "From now on, Wang Qian will no longer pose any threat to us."
"That's good!"
Yin Zheng let out a long sigh of relief.
He could indeed delay the court's verdict, but to actually do it, he would need to prepare various false evidence and materials in advance.
Now, there is only about half an hour left before the court hearing.
If Liu Yanran and Wang Qian's negotiations break down, he might not be able to prepare in advance.
...
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
The court proceeded with the hearing.
The case being adjudicated concerns infringement by several stores under the Liu family's ownership.
Because those stores were registered under the name Liu Yanran, Liu Yanran is naturally standing on the defendant's stand at this moment.
Meanwhile, sitting nearby were several lawyers raised by the Liu family.
The lead defense lawyer is none other than Yin Zheng!
As for the plaintiff, it is naturally Wang Qian.
He didn't even hire a lawyer; he just sat there and waited for the judge to speak.
His expression was unusually calm, as if the case had nothing to do with him.
Standing on the dock, Liu Yanran looked completely unfazed.
when!
The hammer fell, and the entire arena fell silent.
After the judge finished arranging the documents, he looked at Wang Qian and asked in a serious tone, "Plaintiff Wang Qian, do you still maintain the content of your previous complaint and continue to accuse the defendant Liu Yanran of infringing your patent for Niangui roasted green pepper sauce?"
Before Wang Qian could answer, a look of anticipation appeared on Liu Yanran's face.
She has already spoken with Wang Qian and agreed to withdraw the lawsuit.
Unless Wang Qian has lost his mind, he should know what to do.
However, when she heard Wang Qian's next answer, the smile on her face froze.
Wang Qian said, "I uphold the indictment!"
In an instant, the entire venue fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone stared wide-eyed, incredulously at Wang Qian on the plaintiff's stand.
The people from the Liu family, in particular, were all dumbfounded.
Didn't we just agree that the lawsuit would be withdrawn?
Why did they change their story once the court hearing started?
What is Wang Qian trying to do?
The most shocked person was none other than Liu Yanran.
She stared blankly at Wang Qian, speechless for a long time.
This result certainly exceeded her expectations.
"Wang Qian, what did you just say?"
Seemingly unable to believe her ears, she disregarded courtroom etiquette and pointed at Wang Qian, angrily demanding, "Didn't you say you were going to withdraw the lawsuit? You liar, how could you go back on your word?"
At that moment, she was truly furious.
She thought Wang Qian was completely under her control.
Before the trial, she was smug and boasted to her brother Liu Yang and the Liu family's legal team, including Yin Zheng.
As a result, Wang Qian pulled this stunt when the court session began.
That's utterly despicable!
However, when faced with her questioning, Wang Qian sat there calmly, a half-smile playing on his lips.
She understood instantly!
It's a trap!
Wang Qian had taken the initiative to approach her and acted extremely passive in front of her, perhaps just to lower her guard so that he could deliver a fatal blow at this crucial moment.
In other words, from the very beginning, Wang Qian had no intention of withdrawing the lawsuit.
But I didn't want her to prepare a counterattack in advance, so I deliberately showed weakness in front of her.
Hehe, what a guy Wang Qian is!
What a treacherous scheme!
"Wang Qian, you shameless bastard!"
From below the stage, Liu Yang roared like a madman, "You clearly promised my sister that you would withdraw the lawsuit, but you went back on your word."
Beside the defendant's dock, Yin Zheng, the Liu family's legal counsel, also had a grim face.
Wang Qian's sudden change really caught him off guard.
With his profound legal expertise, he could easily distort the truth, but if the evidence was irrefutable, he was powerless to do anything about it.
In this lawsuit, the evidence Wang Qian presented was so compelling that even he couldn't refute it.
when!
when!
when!
Just as chaos erupted at the scene, the sound of a judge slamming his gavel echoed from the platform.
"Silence! Silence, all of you!"
The judge roared, "This is a courtroom. No one is allowed to shout or use any violence."
The chaotic courtroom fell silent once more.
But Liu Yanran, Liu Yang, Yin Zheng and others still glared angrily at Wang Qian, as if they would only feel relieved if they could devour him.
