Medalist Lawyer Heir

Episode 25 -

Zheng Hao, bribing witnesses is illegal.

What are you saying?

I bribed a witness?

Tang Ning, I...I really don't know what is happening.

Why did I suddenly become someone like that to you?

You're not.

Zhong Ke Ming is. No matter what, he is your father. I hope you can remind him when you go back.

About you and him, I didn't tell Brother Dai Bo.

Whether you believe that or not.

Is there an issue?

I saw Chen Jin Bao when I came up.

Why was he here?

Chen Jin Bao is Tang Ye Corporation's ex-worker.

He came to visit his ex-coworkers, there is no problem with that.

Did you bribed the witness?

Bribed?

Bribing witnesses is illegal, we don't do that.

In our current country's evidence laws,

there are no laws stating witnesses can't be monopolised.

That witness was also found by Dai Bo.

If he is so great, he should stop his witness from changing sides.

Then is the witness on our side or not?

Don't mind which side the witness is on.

What's the most important thing of being a lawyer?

Legally protecting the client's greatest benefits.

Protecting the client's greatest benefits.

That's right.

Right now, Chen Jin Bao's testimony is beneficial to our litigant.

So you don't need to be so worked up over why he is here.

You need to put in all your effort in winning this lawsuit.

Then what you mean is, the most important thing about being a lawyer

is to win lawsuits, no matter what measures are used.

Yes.

Being lawyers are about winning lawsuits, doing everything possible,

using every single way. Since the old times,

the winners are kings, the losers are always at fault.

Alright, from now on,

I want to teach you everything I know.

I want you to succeed, I want you to become the best of the best.

Your successful future will be my biggest assurance.

What is it that you're really asking?

I want to know, between my father and Zhong Ke Ming,

what really happened back then in that year?

I really don't know, I'm not lying to you.

Your father has never mentioned half a word.

That year, when he sent you here to me,

there is one possibility. It is that your father already knew you are Zhong Ke Ming's son.

But he just didn't say.

To have Zhong Ke Min lose his own biological son,

that could be the price your father made Zhong Ke Ming pay.

What grudges were there between them?

About grudges, the one your father hates the most is me.

That year, because of that demolition case, your father's license was withdrawn.

All of the people in the lawyer field thought I betrayed your father.

Didn't Zhong Ke Ming tell you this?

Your Honour, my side is currently suspecting Miss Xia Yun

of violating the responsibilities of a guardian.

Proceeding according to her own benefits and not Tang Ning's benefits

to sell my litigant, Tang Ning's, shares from Tang Ye Corporations.

So, my side has requested court to issue an investigation order.

If I agree to issue an investigation order,

is there anything the two Defendants would like to say?

Your Honour, the Second Defendant, Xia Yun, is determined to disagree.

Bank account information belongs to a person's privacy

and it does not have any direct relations to this case.

Your Honour, the First Defendant doesn't agree either

because no matter what the results of the investigation are,

it can not change the case's fundamental truth.

Why?

Your Honour, because no matter how Miss Xia Yun used the money,

this is an issue between the mother and daughter.

Miss Tang Li Qun knows nothing about it.

Even if Miss Xia Yun used the money to pay off her debts,

Tang Ning can only only ask for compensations from her mother.

This has absolutely no relations to whether the shares transferal agreement is effective or not.

This was what I was worried about.

Your Honour, the First Defendant's Representative, Attorney Zheng Hao, is very right.

Whether Miss Tang Li Qun knew about how this money was used

is indeed a key question.

But, none of us know the answer to this question

so I believe the court can't use this reason

to reject issuing an investigation order.

Contrarily, I believe the court should first figure out what this money

was used for then to investigate

whether Miss Tang Li Qun knew or not.

What?

The court has already issued the investigation order for Dai Bo.

He and Tang Ning are on the way to the bank.

Exit-Entry Certification Centre of Shanghai Public Security Bureau Exit-Entry Administration of Shanghai Public Security Bureau

Hello, Xiao Ning? Is the investigation going well on your side?

Alright.

Help me persuade Tang Ning for me, tell her not to keep fighting anymore.

How can I persuade her? They've got to the murderous stage now.

If I had to say, you should persuade her yourself.

Do you think she would listen to me?

Then leave Zhong Ke Ming. Won't this solve the problem?

Didn't you see that day?

He's become like that now.

How could I leave him during this time?

That's not the only reason, right? There's also Tang Ning.

The reason I got involved in this lawsuit was so that I could help Tang Ning

investigate the truth of the issue, it's the only chance.

Then what you mean is?

To reconcile with Tang Ning.

Hello, Xiao Ning? I have already asked someone I know from the bank

to search the debt records for me.

Where are you? I'll go find you.

Okay, see you later.

I went to a couple of banks and found some information. What about you?

I only found the money sent to Hong Kong. I didn't find anything to Macau.

Yeah, I went to three banks,

I didn't find any records sent to Macau. Did we get this wrong?

Did your mother really not use the money to pay off gambling debts?

Did she do some other kind of investments?

I have any memory of it.

Brother Dai Bo, have I done it wrong?

I shouldn't have filed this lawsuit.

Xiao Ning, I think that you're not wrong.

Since we've filed the lawsuit and are in court, don't hesitate.

Haven't you always wanted to know what the truth is?

But I'm afraid that once we find out the truth, I would hurt my Mum.

Your Honour.

In the last session, Attorney Dai kept targeting Miss Xia Yun,

accusing her of using the money from the shares transferal to pay off the gambling debts in Macau.

But according to the evidence provided by the opponent,

there is no money on here that was sent to Macau.

Your Honour.

I have a few questions to ask my Mother,

who is also this case's Second Defendant, Miss Xia Yun.

Mum, please answer my questions as follows.

What are you going to ask?

Anyway, I didn't use the money in gambling.

My Aunt, who is also this case's First Defendant, Miss Tang Li Qun,

where did you use the twenty million from the shares transferal money from her?

You used it on home expenses.

Where did I use it? I used it on home expenses, of course.

Where's the evidence? Which expenses did you use it on at home?

It isn't my responsibility to provide evidence.

It isn't my responsibility to provide evidence.

Your Honour, the Defendant's Representative Attorney, Lawyer Jiang Yang, keeps interfering with my questions.

Although Miss Xia Yun is this case's Second Defendant, she is also this case's main testifier.

Because she is knows about the sequences of events in this case the most.

So, I sincerely request the court to have her sit on the witness seat

to remove external influences.

Presiding Judge

Witness

Mum.

You're sitting on the witness seat right now, nobody will be able to answer questions for you.

So please answer my questions sincerely from your heart

because lies are not allowed in court.

I know.

According to this supplementary evidence that I'm holding, my Aunt, Tang Li Qun,

has, in two times, ten million in each time,

transferred the shares transferal money into your account at Jin Hai Bank, is that right?

Yes.

Also according to this supplementary evidence in my hand,

on the third day after you received the twenty million shares transferal money,

you've transferred the twenty million into the Tang Ye Corporation account, is that right?

Yes.

Didn't you say you spent the money on home expenses?

Why did you transfer it into Tang Ye Corporation's account?

Why should this be treated oddly?

Tang Ye Corporation is your father's, which means it is our family's.

My transferring the money into the company's account equals to giving it to our family.

At that time, you were too young,

you wouldn't have known what the Asia financial crisis was. It was too awful.

The shares price dropped, property prices dropped, everything dropped.

Tang Ye Corporation's cash flow almost completely ceased. If I don't save the company, what should we do?

I know.

You transferred the money to Tang Ye Corporation's company account,

but don't forget, from the moment you transferred my shares to my Aunt,

Tang Ye Corporation isn't ours anymore.

So your transferring the money to Tang Ye Corporation's company account isn't for home expenses,

it is for another reason, isn't that right?

I admit,

the money was to be paid back to the company.

That also means,

you have indeed borrowed a colossal amount of money from Tang Ye Corporation.

Yes.

I did borrow a colossal amount from the company.

On your list, all of the

money sent to Hong Kong and Shen Zhen were borrowed by me.

But I can't say what they were used for.

That is my own privacy.

I respect your privacy.

Your daughter, Tang Ning, also doesn't hope to hurt you in any way,

so you don't need to tell me the general use of this borrowed money.

Whether this money was used to pay off gambling debts

or was used in other ways, in the end, this was for your own personal reasons,

they have no relations to Tang Ning, right?

That's right.

Thank you.

Your Honour, Miss Xia Yun has finally told the truth about this issue.

She has indeed borrowed a colossal amount from Tang Ye Corporation.
