Gu Nianzhi didn't feel much joy after moving to a new home.
That was because her attention was focused on her case tomorrow.
"Are you really confident?" Lu Jin was still very worried about Gu Nianzhi's first court appearance here.
Gu Nianzhi didn't tell Lu Jin too much about what she had done in the other world. She didn't want him to worry.
"I've made a lot of preparations." Gu Nianzhi explained her intentions to Lu Jin.
"First of all, I deliberately took out the evidence related to Wen Shouyi at the last minute and refused to let her be her parents' defense lawyer. I wanted to catch her off guard."
"She can't be a lawyer. She can only find a new lawyer to defend her parents."
"And the new lawyer only has one day to prepare. He might not even understand the whole case before he'll be forced to do it."
"Of course, maybe this new lawyer is very good and can straighten out the case in one day and one night. However, he won't know the whole truth like Wen Shouyi, so it's very easy for things to go awry during the defense. That way, I'll have a chance to take advantage of."
Gu Nianzhi's words made Lu Jin's eyes sparkle.
"Nianzhi, you're really suitable to be a lawyer!" Lu Jin held her hand and was overjoyed. "That's great! That's great! You're only 20 years old this year. You're even younger than Young Master He's mother when she became famous! "
Gu Nianzhi wiped Lu Jin's hand away speechlessly. "Dad, it's just a small lawsuit. How can it be as exaggerated as becoming famous? Alright, I'm just saying this to reassure you. Respect my professionalism. I won't let you down. "
Lu Jin nodded heavily. "Okay, Dad believes in you."
Although he still had doubts in his heart, he didn't show it.
Because true confidence had to be demonstrated through actual results.
People who were worried about you wouldn't be at ease just by saying it.
..
Gu Nianzhi had a good night's rest.
The next morning, she woke up and ate breakfast, washed up, and picked out her clothes. Then, she left on time at eight o 'clock.
She had to arrive at the Imperial Capital Intermediate People's Court at 8: 30 to undergo all kinds of security checks. The court session would officially begin at 9: 00 sharp.
Gu Nianzhi drove He Zhichu's car to the underground parking lot of the Imperial Capital Intermediate People's Court. She took her briefcase and opened the door to get out of the car.
Not far from where she parked, two women in high-end, custom-made professional clothes stood in front of a Bentley and looked at her.
Gu Nianzhi glanced at them and suddenly realized that they were both people she knew!
One of them was Wen Shouyi, who was wearing a navy blue professional dress.
The other one was actually Jin Wanyi!
Of course, it should be Jin Wanyi.
However, he didn't know if her name was also Jin Wanyi.
After experiencing Peter and Linda, Gu Nianzhi had already discovered that the names of the two corresponding bodies might not necessarily be exactly the same.
She glanced at them and walked towards the elevator in the parking lot. She didn't want to talk to them.
However, Wen Shouyi stopped her. "Lawyer Gu, please wait!"
Gu Nianzhi closed her eyes and stopped. She turned around and asked with a smile, "What can I do for you, Miss Wen?"
"I don't dare." Wen Shouyi nodded politely. She pointed at the person beside her and said, "She's Jin Wanyi. She's also the lawyer for me and my parents in this' unexpected disaster '. Are you familiar with him, Lawyer Gu? "
She was also called Jin Wanyi.
Gu Nianzhi felt that Wen Shouyi must have done it on purpose. She clearly knew that there was also a Jin Wanyi in the other world, so she pulled another one out here. Was she trying to mess her up?
She simply did as she wished and said with a straight face, "Lawyer Jin, right? I'm not very familiar with her. I don't know her. I'll see you in court later. "
After saying that, he immediately left without another word.
Wen Shouyi looked at Gu Nianzhi's departing figure and whispered to Jin Wanyi, "Although this lawyer Gu is young, she's not bad. She's especially good at improvising. You have to be careful when dealing with her."
Jin Wanyi shook her head disapprovingly and said with a smile, "How old is she? How many lawsuits has she fought? Let me tell you, you can have talent in other things, but you don't have talent in court defense. Because courtroom defense skills are honed through trial after trial. "
"Let me tell you, no matter how high your IQ or how rich your knowledge is, if you don't have any experience, you'll be skinned alive by a veteran in court."
"Wanyi! I'm serious! "Wen Shouyi had always been gentle and amiable in front of her friends. She rarely got serious or angry.
But when she became serious, her friends all knew that something very serious and difficult must have happened.
"… Is she really that good?" Jin Wanyi was flabbergasted. She covered her mouth with her hand, and a trace of surprise flashed through her eyes. "Didn't you say she's only 20 years old?! At most, she'll graduate early from university, right?! "
"She's a genius girl. She graduated from university at the age of 18 and graduated with a master's degree in law at the age of 20. When she was studying for her master's degree, she fought a few lawsuits. "Wen Shouyi didn't notice and revealed Gu Nianzhi's" record "in the other world.
Jin Wanyi immediately said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Which lawsuits did she fight? I'll go investigate and find out more. I'll know myself and the enemy. "
Wen Shouyi was stumped.
How could she tell which lawsuits it was?
Because those lawsuits had never appeared in this world at all …
If she really said it, it would be a serious leak.
At that time, Gu Nianzhi wouldn't need to fight the kidnapping case. Just the "leak" alone would make her unable to see the light of day for the rest of her life.
Wen Shouyi suddenly shivered. She hurriedly laughed and said, "I'm just warning you. The lawsuits she fought were all mock courts at school. I've sat in on them. They're pretty good. Really. "
"Hahahaha … Shouyi, you're getting more and more humorous …" Jin Wanyi laughed until tears came out of her eyes. "I knew it. How can a newly graduated student have so many opportunities to practice in court? If it weren't for the He family's power, her case wouldn't have even gotten to court. "
"By the way, are you afraid of offending the He family?" Wen Shouyi quietly changed the topic. She didn't want Jin Wanyi to remember what she had just said about Gu Nianzhi.
"I believe in justice. If I'm afraid of offending the He family, I won't take your case. " Jin Wanyi spoke righteously, but when Wen Shouyi looked away, a trace of contempt flashed in her eyes.
Who was the He family?
How could she be afraid of them?
Only Wen Shouyi, the daughter of the He family's gardener, would worship the He family like gods …
..
Gu Nianzhi arrived at Court A of the Imperial Capital Intermediate Court for security check.
The briefcase she brought was taken by the bailiff and searched carefully with an electronic device.
The female bailiff on the other side waved her over and scanned her entire body with a metal detector. She even had to take off her shoes to ensure that no dangerous items were brought into the courtroom.
In the past, the security check in the courtroom wasn't that strict.
However, after several cases of defendants or plaintiffs who were dissatisfied with the court's decision storming the courtroom and using homemade explosives or guns to kill and injure the judge, the security check in the courtroom had been raised to the same level as that at the airport.
Gu Nianzhi quietly went through the security check. She put her phone and other electronic equipment into a transparent plastic bag and locked it in the electronic cabinet by the door of the courtroom.
She could only bring a laptop in.
Of course, the laptop had also been tested to ensure that there were no unsafe items in it.
She walked into the courtroom and thought that she was the only one on her side.
As soon as she entered, she saw that not only were Lu Jin and Lu Yuan sitting in the gallery behind the plaintiff's seat, but also the boss of the C City law firm, Jin Dazhuang, the receptionist, Xiao Zhang, Zhao Liangze, and Bai Shuang.
She stopped in her tracks in surprise.
Was this the first trial that a group of people had come to watch her?!
She was still a little excited when she thought about it!
Xiao Zhang, the receptionist, waved at her from her seat and smiled as she made a "good luck" gesture!
Gu Nianzhi was very touched. She nodded slightly and turned her gaze to Lu Jin, who was sitting next to Lu Yuan. It was a little strange.
As a patient with interpersonal disorders, how could Lu Jin be so thoughtful?
When Lu Yuan saw her like this, he smiled and pointed at himself. "Lawyer Gu, you have to thank me. It has nothing to do with anyone else. "
Lu Jin quickly nodded and said seriously, "This was all arranged by President Lu. I'm here as a representative of the Lu Corporation's board of directors to inspect the law firm we're working with. "
The corners of Gu Nianzhi's mouth twitched. "Thank you. Please listen carefully."
She walked up to Jin Dazhuang and Xiao Zhang and greeted them with a smile. "When did you guys get here? Why didn't you contact me? "
"We just flew here yesterday. President Lu specially asked us to come here to cheer you on! " Xiao Zhang stood up and held Gu Nianzhi's hand. His eyes were red. "I heard that you were kidnapped by these people when you were 12?! You must not let them go! "
"Yes, that's why I brought them to court." Gu Nianzhi held her hand and winked at her. "It's true that justice has long arms, but nothing escapes."
Xiao Zhang was amused by her again. She shook her hand worriedly. "Can you do it? I don't remember you ever appearing in court, right? "
Jin Dazhuang also whispered, "I just saw the court arrangements. The lawyer over there is Jin Wanyi. This woman is quite powerful. She's only 28 years old, but she's already a senior lawyer at the largest law firm in the imperial capital. She's never lost at such a young age …"
Gu Nianzhi's heart skipped a beat.
Jin Dazhuang and Jin Wanyi's life experiences seemed to have been reversed with Jin Dazhuang and Jin Wanyi's.
Jin Dazhuang had always been a senior lawyer at a large law firm, while Jin Wanyi had only been a third-rate lawyer from a small law firm to a large law firm by virtue of nepotism.
But here, Jin Dazhuang had been living in a small law firm, handling divorce cases for middle and lower class citizens, while Jin Wanyi had become a senior lawyer at the largest law firm in the imperial capital.
Gu Nianzhi had no time to think about the philosophical mystery behind this. She smiled and said, "Never lost at such a young age? Yes, there's a first time for everything. Let's start with Lawyer Jin Wanyi's first defeat. "
Xiao Zhang, the receptionist, was so amused by Gu Nianzhi's words that she almost burst into tears.
Jin Wanyi and Wen Shouyi, who had just entered, heard her words. Jin Wanyi's expression changed abruptly, and she was immediately angered by Gu Nianzhi.
"Haha, if I don't lose this time, will Lawyer Gu retire from the legal profession and let your first court appearance be the last one?"
Jin Wanyi placed her briefcase on the dock and turned to look at Gu Nianzhi. She asked coldly.
