Medalist Lawyer Heir

Episode 31 -

Then what do you do usually?

Since Madam Li passed away,

old Mr Li had no one to take care of him. So,

I took care of his life.

Did their house not have a housekeeper?

No.

Old Mr Li is very odd, he was determined not to hire a housekeeper. So...

So, I moved into their house.

I mainly took care of his daily life.

That means, old Mr Li only had you and him in his house.

Old Mr Li had a stroke before, it's inconvenient for him to move.

If someone came to visit, would you be the one to answer the door?

You were the one to decide whether the person sees old Mr Li, right?

Objection! Your Honor,

my party opposes Attorney Tang using leading questions with presuppositions.

Then I'll change the question.

During the time you worked at a personal secretary in the Li house,

why didn't you let Li Sheng Li into the house when he wanted to go home?

Your Honor, this questions also involves a presupposition.

How could you confirm that Li Sheng Li has went home before?

Could Li Sheng Li not have went home?

We asked the management department in front of the professors' building.

Their monitor videos were all within the past two months.

So in these years,

we can't find out whether Li Sheng Li has gone home or not from the videos.

So we can only rely on your testimony.

I don't remember.

Do you not remember or Li Sheng Li has never returned home?

He has never returned home.

I have never seen him. In the home,

there were only me and old Mr Li.

If anyone came, I wouldn't have not known.

Li Sheng Li has said he returned home quite a few times in one year,

he was stopped at the door every time.

This...how could this be possible?

He is a strong man, I...how could I stop him?

You weren't alone.

Every time, you would find over thirty security guards against me.

Nonsense! You've never returned home!

What are you trying to make up? - Your Honor.

Someone, come quick! Someone, come quick! He is committing physical assault!

He has beaten me up into this state. It was him!

Bring him to the police station!

That's right! Take him to the police station! - What are you doing?! I want to see my Father!

What are you doing? - It was you! It was you!

It was you!

I object! Your Honor, this video is new evidence.

The Plaintiff's Attorney made a sudden attack.

That's right. This is indeed new evidence.

But I didn't make a sudden attack.

Firstly, we had the court's investigation order.

Secondly, just like your party presented the newspaper in the morning,

our video evidence

was also brought by Lawyer Dai Bo from the police station.

Witness Yu Mi, do you still remember Li Sheng Li

being locked in the detention house?

I...I...I don't know.

Were you not the one who called the police?

I don't know. I can't remember either.

Alright then.

Then let me help you remember.

Get out quickly! - I want to see my Father!

I'm telling you, I'm going to yell if you still don't leave! - I want to see my Father!

You can't be like this! I want to see my Father!

What are you doing?! What are you doing?!

What a harass! Get out!

I want to return home! I want to see my Father!

You don't have the rights to stop me!

Why wouldn't I have the rights? I am controlling this house now!

You're controlling? - What about it?

You're only a secretary! Our family's issues don't need you to control!

After your mom died, where have you gone when your dad got sick?

I was taking care of him all these years! Without me, he wouldn't be able to live to today!

I did return.

I begged my Father to let me take care of him. - But he didn't let you!

He doesn't acknowledge you as his son! - That's not right.

That's not right. He doesn't acknowledge me because I didn't write this book at the time.

But I wrote it now!

It has also been published! - What rubbish book?

Why did you come back? Why did you only come back now?!

Do you think I don't know what you're hiding?

Don't you just think your dad's old books are worth a lot of money?

I'm telling you, your dad told me a long time ago,

all of those belong to me! - What belongs to you?

What? They belong to me! - Say that again!

What are you trying to do?! You're just trying to take our family's wealth and property!

I'm telling you, as the son, I will never agree!

What use is there if you disagree?!

I am his only family!

Keep dreaming!

Rubbish!

I'm telling you,

as long as I am here, don't you dream of coming back to this home!

Just you wait, I'm telling you,

I... - I'm telling you,

I will move tomorrow. You will never see us again!

You dare?!

Someone is committing physical assault!

So?

Has the story I told evoke your memories?

Who told you? Was it Li Sheng Li?

He was entirely telling nonsense.

It wasn't just Li Sheng Li, we also have video footage.

This is impossible.

This is totally impossible.

This...this...this happened 9 years ago.

Looks like, you've remembered it.

That's right, this was indeed a story from 9 years ago.

Also, the cameras in front of the professors' building

has videoed it in its entirety.

What I need to specially thank you is,

you asked the management department to copy this footage as evidence for the police.

You used this copied footage to send Li Sheng Li into the police station.

For your injury on your forehead,

Li Sheng Li was locked up for 15 days.

Li Sheng Li was unlucky, but the gods are fair.

Who would think that the evidence you used back then for reporting to the police

would become the important evidence for today's case?

It proved that it wasn't Li Sheng Li who was unwilling to visit his father,

it was you who purposely prevented him.

It was all thanks to Brother Dai Bo and Zhou Tong finding the footage.

That was my work. How did the credit go to Judge Zhou and Lawyer Dai? This isn't fair.

Alright, we've given you doubled the money. What, do you want the money or the trophy?

Today, we've only won one small session. From what I see, Director Zhong will not back down easily.

When the hearing resumes, it will definitely be another war.

Lawyer Zhang.

I thought they didn't have enough evidence.

Didn't he say? The video footage can only be kept for two months.

It's been so many years. How could I remember about the police station?

Alright, alright. We won't be stuck on that.

I came to tell you Lawyer Zhong's views on the case.

This case isn't about you and Li Sheng Li's personal grudge.

It is about between the Law Research Institute or Li Sheng Li,

who can inherit Mr Li Tian Ran's property.

Therefore, resulting in a life or death war.

Because you lied as a witness, you became eliminated. That doesn't matter to you.

But the Law Research Institute could very possibly lose because of this.

The original plan must change.

We can't become grounded by whether Li Sheng Li has returned home

or whether he has gone to the hospital to visit his father.

That was all Lawyer Zhong said. Have you understood?

Then go back and prepare a bit. Wait for the court's word.

The video footage from the hospital is very long.

It has a total of 100 days of patient room monitoring footage. I couldn't finish watching it no matter what.

In the end, I became impatient. I reversed it,

I started watching from the last day.

The result was, I made a very important discovery.

What?

The footage a few hours before Li Tian Ran's death is gone.

I don't know what the reason is.

Gone?

The monitoring camera broke?

The court is now in session. Could the Defendant's Representative present your evidence.

Your Honor,

this case is Li Sheng Li

suing the Law Research Institute. What did he sue for?

He sued the Law Research Institute for violating

his rights to inherit Li Tian Ran's property.

So, there are two things for the court to judge.

Firstly, it is whether Li Sheng Li

the person to inherit Li Tian Ran's property.

Secondly, if he is,

then, it's whether the Law Research Institute has violated his rights.

Right now, we'll investigate the first question. The Plaintiff's party thinks that,

this case is about legal inheritance.

And Li Sheng Li is Li Tian Ran's only

and is the first order inheritor.

And nobody has raised any objection against this right of inheritance.

Even if in the last session, both parties had,

towards Li Tian Ran severing their father and son bond,

the old newspaper announcement's legal validity,

once raised a debate.

The court is already aware of this question.

Alright, then.

My part will disclose our perspective to the court.

I believe that, this case is about inheritance by will

and not legal inheritance.

Then, is Li Sheng Li

Li Tian Ran's legal inheritor?

Your Honor, from the start of the hearings until today,

it is the first time I've heard inheritance by will.

Indeed. Submitted to the court,

the evidence list did not mention this will.

Apologies. This will's paper document

was indeed not submitted to the court.

Your Honor, my party opposes the Defendant's party for doing this.

Looking at this so-called donated will,

it obviously isn't a new piece of evidence.

But the Defendant had to choose today to submit this.

This is unfair to the Plaintiff's party.

Attorney Tang, no need to feel anxious. Although this will's paper document

was not able to be submitted to the court in time, this will's

video footage has already been submitted to the court.

In that, there was not only a will, there was also

the whole process of Li Tian Ran signing the will.

If the court requires, I can ask my assistant
