Chapter 252 All the energy was on her
Han Xi took the photo with a puzzled look. It was a screenshot from the surveillance footage, showing a man and a woman walking side by side.
She carefully examined the person above; the man's build and appearance were somewhat similar to Wang Zhong, whom she had just met, while the woman...
"Is this Ms. Gao Juan?"
Han Xi looked more closely at the time shown in the photo, which was around the same time that Wang Wei and his brother were discussing the bonus at home, indicating that Wang Zhong was not at home at all at the time.
Han Xi felt a terrible headache coming on and rubbed his forehead, saying, "How could this happen?"
Han Xi was naturally angry at this situation. She didn't expect that Wang Wei would hire someone to commit perjury in order to get the bonus, but she heard about this from the defendant's mouth instead.
“Wang Zhong is lying. She has a relationship with Wang Wei’s wife. The two of them were in the hotel at the time and it was impossible for them to hear the brothers’ conversation. As for why she is willing to come forward to testify, you can imagine.”
Shen Jiheng kept a close eye on Han Xi's situation, knowing that she was determined to help her client win the case, but she overlooked how greedy people can be when faced with money.
Moreover, since this is a huge sum of money that can be obtained without any effort, people will naturally resort to any means necessary.
Han Xi felt suffocated. If these things were submitted by the opposing lawyer during the trial, not only would they lose the case, but she, as a lawyer, would also become a laughing stock.
“These people are blatantly disregarding the law and have no faith in their lawyers.”
"They think that if they can fool you, they can fool everyone else. How naive and foolish."
Han Xi was truly grateful to Shen Jiheng for bringing this news; she didn't know how embarrassing it would have been if it had happened in court.
"Ji Heng, thank you for telling me all this, otherwise I would have been deceived by them."
"It's not your fault. As a lawyer, you should naturally believe your client's words unconditionally. The question is, what are you planning to do next?"
“I will give him a final warning. If he engages in any more deceptive behavior, I will remove him from his agency.”
Han Xi didn't want to get involved in their family affairs, but she shouldn't expect any false testimony to be given to her. As for whether she could ultimately get the money, that would depend on the court's judgment.
Seeing her distressed expression, Shen Jiheng smiled and said, "Attorney Han, I've brought you another piece of news today."
Seeing his enthusiastic attitude, Han Xi couldn't help but take a closer look at him.
"I feel like everything you're doing is related to me. Don't you have your own company to manage?"
Han Xi wondered how many spies he had planted behind the scenes, since he could always keep track of the slightest movement he made.
Shen Jiheng smiled and said, "I have indeed devoted all my energy to you."
Han Xi was both amused and exasperated. "You really don't need to do this."
“But I think it’s worth it. I’ve said before that I want to be involved in everything you do now. I don’t want to give anyone else a chance.”
As he spoke, he took out his phone and sent Han Xi his location.
Han Xi saw that it was located in the suburbs of Chongqing and looked at him in confusion.
"This is?"
"You said the pool player was the only witness and you wanted to persuade him to testify, so we found the location for you."
Han Xi's eyes flickered, her face filled with disbelief. She really hadn't expected Shen Jiheng to do these things for her.
With a charming smile on his face, Shen Jiheng raised an eyebrow and said, "How about it? Aren't you touched? I've already had someone monitor his movements to make sure you can find him."
After he finished speaking, Han Xi slowly stood up and suddenly hugged him.
Shen Jiheng froze. The only time Han Xi would take the initiative to hug him was in his dreams.
"Han Xi?"
"Shen Jiheng, thank you!"
I have so many words of gratitude in my heart, but I can only say thank you.
Shen Jiheng raised his hand and gently patted her back.
"I'm glad I could help you."
Shen Jiheng had told her that whatever she wanted to do, she should go ahead and he would protect her.
“I’ll take some people to him right now, and I’m sure I can persuade him to appear in court.”
"I believe you can do it."
Shen Jiheng knew that the only way to win back Han Xi was to first touch her heart and get her to take the initiative to approach him, and now it was working.
Worried about her safety going to the suburbs, they specially arranged for a bodyguard to accompany her.
The trial will begin in three days!
Because Han Xi found a witness to appear in court and recount what happened that day, and because verbal agreements are also legally binding, the case was won, and the client received half of the prize money.
Wang Wei was extremely excited and personally went to the law firm to find her with a thank-you gift.
"Attorney Han, thank you so much this time. This is just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it. You're amazing. I never imagined you could bring that kid back to testify. Don't worry, I'll make sure to thank him properly when he gets out of prison."
Han Xi returned the gift to him, calmly smiling, "Mr. Wang, I was just doing what a lawyer should do, but your behavior..."
"I'm sorry, I really apologize. I was in a hurry and had no other choice, so I thought of having someone give false testimony."
Wang Wei bowed with his hands clasped in apology. Han Xi didn't want to pursue this pointless issue; she simply despised the behavior.
"Everything is fine now, Mr. Wang can go back." Han Xi didn't want to say anything more to someone with such questionable character.
Wang Wei looked around and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Attorney Han, I have another question I'd like to ask you."
Han Xi frowned and asked, "You tell me."
Wang Wei laughed and said, "Just if, I mean if, under these circumstances, my wife and I were to divorce, would I still need to give her this money?"
Han Xi frowned even more, not quite understanding his intentions.
Why are you suddenly asking this kind of question?
Wang Wei waved his hand to cover his embarrassment and said with a smile, "I just heard that my brother and sister-in-law were arguing, so I was curious about this situation. Do they still want to split the bonus equally?"
Although he didn't know why Han Xi was interested in this, he replied truthfully, "In this case, there's no need to split it equally."
A hint of excitement flashed in Wang Wei's eyes as he pressed on, "So how do we do it?"
Han Xi blurted out: "A claim for jointly increased property by the couple is considered a matter of personal luck and will not be subject to property distribution."
Wang Wei smiled broadly, stood up, and shook Han Xi's hand.
"Attorney Han, thank you for telling me all this. You've been a great help to my husband and me this time. I will remember this kindness. I'll be going now."
Han Xi felt a little uncomfortable and could only politely say goodbye.
Han Xi was about to organize and file the case, but thinking about the last question he asked, he had a bad feeling. Could it be that he would abandon his wife at this time?
Han Xi shook her head, realizing she had been overthinking things. Wang Wei had a sick child, and he was working hard to get this money so he could pay for the child's treatment.
Shen Jiheng was also a major contributor to the successful resolution of the case, and Han Xi took the initiative to send him a message, inviting him to lunch together.
Shen Jiheng smiled indulgently when he saw the message; he had been waiting for her invitation all along.
