Medalist Lawyer Heirs

Episode 13

Would President Xie really

sign-off on those revised rules and the shareholders' committee resolution?

He definitely wouldn't. That signature is definitely fake.

But the handwriting analysis results said it was definitely his signature.

How could that be? - Could it be a substitute?

The signature is real, but the document is fake.

How about we do this? Let's carefully examine this copy of shareholders' committee resolution once again.

But currently, we can't find any problems with it.

Will we lose the case?

Director Xue isn't going to court today. How come you're late too?

My tooth hurts. I just went to go see a doctor.

Let's go.

Judge.

Last session, the defendant's representative objected to our second piece of evidence.

We believe that the opposition's objection is unfounded.

In court, you speak through the evidence.

Right now, I will use ironclad evidence to give the opposition's representative,

Attorney Zheng, a loud-sounding 'slap'.

Firstly, Xie Fei's signatures on the new rules and the Shareholders' Committee resolution are real.

Unless the opposition can prove that the signature is fake,

they cannot doubt the truth.

Next, the defense lawyer believes this new rule

was filed at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau three days after Xie Fei passed.

Thus, its effect is questionable.

Here, I would like to tell Lawyer Zheng that

if legal matters are altered,

of course, it's based on the Industrial and Commercial Bureau's register being valid.

But for ordinary matters — for example, the sale of stocks

and the requirements and rules for inheriting —

not quickly going to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to file it

does not affect it's validity.

Objection.

Judge.

Since it hasn't been filed for the record,

it shouldn't be valid for third party.

That's right. But to all the shareholders,

it's valid. To Xie Fei, it's valid too.

If Xie Fei wanted his sons to inherit stocks,

then all of Tian Cheng Corporation's shareholders

must agree unanimously.

Where's Lawyer Xue?

How could he not come to such an important hearing?

Don't worry.

Lawyer Zheng, what happened?

What's wrong with your mouth?

Sorry, Judge.

Sorry, I got my wisdom teeth pulled this morning.

Judge.

I believe the defense is using delay tactics.

Lawyer Xue didn't come today.

Lawyer Zheng said he got his tooth pulled and so he can't speak.

Plaintiff's Lawyer, please do not jump to conclusions.

Miss Tang. Please help to take a look at him.

See if his injury is still bleeding.

Judge. It indeed is bleeding. Moreover, it really looks badly mutilated.

Then we will adjourn for the time being.

Attorney Zheng, I hope you'll go to the hospital and take care of it quickly.

Yes-

Thank you, Judge. Thank you.

You're really impressive. You could even think of a trick like this.

Do you think it was fake?

My wisdom tooth was inflamed. I just had a tooth extraction.

Hey, do you know why Boss Xue didn't come?

He must have read the new constitution and realized there's no loophole.

That's why he refuses to confront the problem, and let small attorneys like us handle it. Despicable.

Could it be? - Fortunately,

the court has now given us some time, so we can continue to search.

Where exactly is the problem with our opponent?

Fortunately, your tooth caused you pain.

You still dare to say that? You kept making me drink those soluble milk tea.

Drinking those could cause death, do you know that?

Fortunately, I gave you soluble milk tea to drink.

Is it really very painful?

But, when I looked earlier, you really are badly mutilated.

This is Xie Hu.

The younger male cousin of Xie Fei and Xie Feng. A shareholder of the company.

This is Xie Chao. The biological younger brother of Xie Hu. He's also a shareholder of the company.

As for this, he's Xie Jun.

This is Yang Mei Shan.

Li Yun's mother-in-law's eldest nephew from the maiden family.

This is her niece, Yang Ping.

This is Yang Wei Lian's nanny.

In any case, they are all from Yang family.

What do you think about Li Yun's mother-in-law's claim that Li Yun is of another surname.

So, she can't inherit anything from the Yang family's estate.

But, aren't these all also of another surname?

Why are they able to become shareholders of the company?

Most people are selfish when they are confronted by desire.

Aren't people from the maiden family also considered to be from your family?

Looks like my delay tactic isn't of much help.

Just looking at photographs isn't going to help us look for any loophole.

I feel that this person is questionable.

Do you think we can find some clues via this person?

He's Yang Mei Shan's son. He's only 18 years old.

He's studying abroad, and is also a resident there.

So, when he signed the shareholders' committee resolution, he was already 18 years old?

Yes.

Also, you said... he's now a resident in Australia?

Right.

Okay, okay.

About this case, it still has to be handled according to facts.

Since the facts have been confirmed. Let's just put more effort on the party implicated.

Okay, I will also deal with that.

Come in.

Come, sit.

What's up?

We've found a new clue in Xie Fei's case.

This, don't waste your time anymore.

This case, just leave it.

The decision that Xie Fei's Will is valid counts as us helping Li Yun win her case.

As for the new constitution, it's a waste of energy.

At the end, the efforts will not be worth the results, it won't be worth it.

Not worth it?

Then we just give up investigating the truth?

What's there to investigate?

Every shareholder has written an affidavit that the constitution was amended.

And they have all signed on the shareholder's resolution.

The only area of suspicion is Xie Fei's signature right now.

But, the analysis has already proven that his signature is real.

No, Boss Xue.

We have found a clue.

According to immigration records, from 1 January to

to 7 August this year which is the day of the shareholder's meeting,

Yang Wei Lian has never left Australia.

Tell me, how could he have returned to Shanghai on 7 August

to participate in the shareholder's meeting and sign the resolution?

Maybe he was participating through the telephone?

His signature may have been faxed over.

Impossible.

We have gone through all the shareholder's affidavits. They all say

that all the shareholders were personally present.

In the same room, at the same time,

they have signed the resolution.

So, there is only 1 truth. There must be someone who is lying.

Big Attorney Zheng, you've increased your capability now, haven't you?

I heard that you have just got into a fight with Boss Xue?

Fight, what fight?

We just have differing opinions to the case.

We are communicating. What do you know?

What differing opinion? Zheng Hao, I'll tell you,

sometimes you can't be too serious, you know?

Lawyers are not detectives, you don't have to find the truth.

Don't lawyers need the truth to work on their cases?

Don't they say take "facts as the basis and the law as the criterion"?

Wrong! Misinterpretation! You have misinterpreted the law.

I'll tell you guys, "facts as the basis and the law as the criterion" is the requirement of the courts.

Judges must rely on the factual truth in determining cases.

But this factual truth refers to the legal facts and

this is not necessarily the real objective truth.

What are you trash talking about?

What we are doing, is purely to help our clients

unmask the opponent witnesses' lies and reinstate the truth.

Wow, unmask the lies, have you found a breaking point?

You're bluffing.

Bluff?

You don't believe it?

Fine, I'll tell you and you'll lose and accept defeat.

Ahh, I get it. So you...

using him as a breakthrough, and from there, veto

the constitution amendment that the shareholders made during the shareholders' meeting.

So, if such a witness is thrown out,

then the remaining seven witnesses from the shareholders' meeting

will have all their lines of defense be self-defeated.

Clever. Really clever.

Let that Li Dong Tian experience Zheng family's finishing blow.

Master, what is this strategy called?

Eye for an eye.

Now, we call the witness Yang Wei Lian to take the stand.

Witness, this is the Plaintiff's Evidence Number 3.

Do you know what this document is?

It is the resolution of the shareholders meeting.

Then, do you still remember the contents of the resolution? - I remember.

It was to add a clause in the constitution.

What content? - That is, if uncle Xie dies,

his 2 sons, Xie Yi and Xie Er can't inherit his shares.

What did you see this resolution?

When did you sign it?

7 August at the shareholder's meeting.

This year's 7 August shareholder's meeting.

According to the affidavits of all the shareholders,

your uncle Xie was also present.

Xie Fei had 70% of the shares.

According to the resolution, when he passes away,

his 2 sons, Xie Yi and Xie Er,

can't inheritance his shares, is that right?

Do you think he would have agreed?

Judge, I have no further questions.

Judge,

Mr Yang,

how old is your uncle Xie this year?

49 years old?

How is his health?

Or in other words, do you know if he has

any life-threatening illnesses?
