Chapter 242 A Witness Has Been Arrived
Before Han Xi could even hear Wang Wei finish his explanation, he already knew why the other lawyers in the firm were unwilling to take the case. This situation did indeed present many problems and made it difficult to win.
Han Xi said with a headache, "When you were making the purchase, did anyone hear you say that you wanted to split the cost equally, or is there any evidence to prove that you paid for the purchase together?"
After thinking it over carefully, Wang Wei still shook his head, "We go shopping almost every day, we don't think that much about it, but I did tell my wife before I left home."
Gao Juan nodded repeatedly beside her: "Attorney Han, I can testify that the money was taken from my bag. My husband said that if we win the lottery, we will split it equally."
Han Xi sighed and said bluntly, "Ms. Gao, you can't testify in this situation at all. The other party can easily say that you colluded to divide the bonus, unless there is other evidence."
This case is obviously simple, but it is actually very difficult to handle, and you could say there is not much chance of winning.
Unless Wang Wei has other evidence, he will not get the money.
Gao Juan burst into tears upon hearing this, grabbed her hand, and said, "Attorney Han, we want this money not only for fairness, but also because my child has a heart condition and urgently needs this money to go abroad for treatment."
To prove she wasn't lying, Gao Juan took out her medical record and handed it over, choking back tears as she recounted her family's situation.
“Attorney Han, my husband and I work in a factory in town and have no savings. All the money in our household goes to our child’s medical treatment. My husband has been buying lottery tickets every day for several years, hoping to win and ease the burden on our family.”
Wang Wei, a grown man, wiped away tears and said helplessly, "My older brother works in the same factory as us. Since I won the lottery before, he always wants to partner with me. Everyone around us knows this."
Han Xi sensed a glimmer of hope in these words and asked, "If that's the case, then other people around you must have known about the purchase that day. Think carefully, did you encounter any other people?"
Wang Wei thought it over carefully, and Han Xi added, "Another important thing is whether anyone saw you brothers celebrating together after you confirmed you won the lottery."
Wang Wei and his wife closed their eyes and tried hard to recall. Now, only by finding a witness could he have a chance to get the money.
He suddenly opened his eyes and laughed excitedly, "I remember now, that day I met the guy who was in charge of cleaning up the pool tables. When my brother and I were paying, he joked that we had wasted money again."
Han Xi quickly noted down this key point and continued to ask, "How so? He overheard your conversation and most likely even saw you paying together."
“Yes, yes, he must have seen it, Attorney Han. If that’s the case, then do we have a chance of winning?” The couple excitedly clasped hands.
Han Xi nodded: "That's right. As long as he can prove it, the agreement will have legal effect. Go back and contact him to have him testify in court."
Wang Wei stood up excitedly, and the couple nodded their thanks repeatedly.
"Thank you, Attorney Han. We'll go back and find someone right away."
"Okay, let me know as soon as you have any news. Also, think back and see if you can find any other witnesses. More witnesses would be better."
After thanking them repeatedly, the couple hurried away, afraid that if they returned too late, the witness would run away.
Looking at the materials in his hand, Han Xi realized that as long as they could find witnesses, the case, though difficult, still had a 50% chance of success.
She sent a message to Shen Jiheng, and after she had almost finished sorting out the case, he rushed over.
Knowing he was very busy, Han Xi hadn't originally planned to contact him, but thinking of Shen Jiheng's expression when they parted, she decided to reach out and talk to him.
When Shen Jiheng arrived at the office door, he saw that Han Xi's demeanor at the law firm was completely different from that at Han Shu Group. He felt that she didn't belong in the business world, but rather in this place full of justice.
"How long are you going to stand at the door and stare at me?"
Shen Jiheng walked up to her with a smile, looked at her neat notes, and couldn't help but tease her, "I've seen your handwritten notes on Han Shu's new products, and they weren't that neat."
Han Xi looked down and couldn't help but laugh: "Different situations require different approaches."
"So you still prefer working at a law firm, right?"
Shen Jiheng remembered hearing her say that her biggest dream was to become an outstanding lawyer.
Now, as the president of Han Shu Group, she did this to help Zhuo Qingqian; otherwise, she would have had a hard time entering the legal profession again.
Han Xi smiled wryly and said, "Many times people can't do whatever they want. Everyone has heavy burdens on their shoulders. I'm just doing what I should do."
Shen Jiheng placed his hands on the table and said seriously, "If you want to go back to the law firm, it's simple, I can help you."
Han Xi looked up and met his gaze, asking curiously, "Then tell me, how can you help me?"
“I will help you manage the Hanshu Group. I believe you can rest assured with my abilities. This way, you can go back to work at the law firm with peace of mind.”
Seeing the sincerity in Shen Jiheng's eyes, Han Xi knew he wasn't joking.
Unable to bear his affection, she looked away, coughed lightly, and changed the subject.
"How did the siblings behave this morning? Did Yumo cry and come to me last night?"
Shen Jiheng shrugged: "Guess."
In fact, he really hoped that Han Xi could rely on him. As long as she wanted to return to the law firm, Shen Jiheng could handle all the affairs of Han Shu Group for her.
Perhaps Han Xi was afraid of revealing the secret recipe, or perhaps she had other concerns.
Han Xi said with a smile while packing her things, "You didn't look for me, which means you handled it very well. Usually, there's no problem with Yu Xuan around. He's very good at coaxing his sister."
As soon as she finished tidying up and stood up, Shen Jiheng took two steps forward and pulled her into his arms.
Han Xi reached out to push him away, but he grabbed her hand.
"Don't move, I just want to hold him for a while. You've raised the child very well. Yuxuan is really obedient. I explained the situation to them and he didn't cry at all."
Shen Jiheng didn't finish his sentence, of course. For example, he had to coax Han Yumo for a long time because she wouldn't go to sleep at night.
He knew how tiring it was after taking care of the child for just one day. For the past three years, Han Xi had been raising the child alone, and he felt guilty.
Han Xi smiled and patted him on the back.
"Why have you suddenly become so sentimental? Isn't it a good thing that they're willing to be close to you now?"
Shen Jiheng shook his head. He couldn't get over it in his heart. He could only make up for the debt he owed by treating the mother and son even better.
Just as he was about to speak, a knock came at the door. Zhang Ke walked in with some documents in her hand, and immediately turned away when she saw the two of them embracing.
"Excuse me, Attorney Han, I'm sorry to bother you."
Han Xi quickly pushed the person away; this was Li Hai's law firm, not her own office.
"Assistant Zhang, is there any new development?"
“Mr. Wang Wei didn’t have your phone number, so he called me. He said he has found a witness and can bring him over for a meeting tomorrow.”
Han Xi nodded. It seemed that Wang Wei was determined to get the prize money, which was why he found the witness so quickly.
"That's good. Having witnesses increases our chances of winning. Let them come together tomorrow."
