"It's absolutely true. If you don't believe me, you can immediately call the US government to check. You can even tag our president on Twitter." Lu Anpeng still had this much confidence.
Just as Gu Nianzhi had said, he had instructed his team to stall for time and desperately fight the jurisdiction lawsuit for this letter of appointment. Kevin's parents had worked in the US for more than two months before finally settling the president and the Secretary of State.
He was the only one in the entire legal team who knew about this.
Otherwise, if the news leaked, everyone would be finished.
Also, thinking about it, it was quite a thrill.
He only felt that Kevin was lucky because this letter of appointment had just been delivered to them yesterday. Kevin's parents had immediately asked them to immediately find someone to file it with the Huaxia Empire's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Fortunately, they had already been in contact with the deputy minister of the Huaxia Empire's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so the matter had been properly handled.
They hadn't expected that Kevin's "diplomat" status would just be verified yesterday, and the Huaxia Empire would already be in court today.
His grasp of the timing was impeccable!
Lu Anpeng couldn't help sweating when he thought about this.
Honestly, most of them felt that Kevin's parents were making a mountain out of a molehill yesterday. Also, the Huaxia Empire was on the Spring Festival holiday, so they had to find someone on duty through the deputy minister to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to file. They had originally suggested slacking off and waiting for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to officially start work today.
Only Lu Anpeng was more cautious, and he never disobeyed his employer. No matter how difficult it was, as long as he had the opportunity to do it, he wouldn't slack off.
It turned out that this attitude and principle of doing things was correct.
At least it showed that he had exercised his due
diligence。
While Lu Anpeng's thoughts were running wild, Gu Nianzhi looked down at the letter of appointment. She had already read it out and said, "This letter of appointment appoints Kevin Laris, who is currently in court, right?"
"I also have proof of identity here, if Lawyer Gu would like to see it."
The corners of Lu Anpeng's mouth twitched as he also took out Kevin's proof of identity. He gave one to Gu Nianzhi, one to the judge, and one to the reporter who was listening.
Since he dared to publicize it with great fanfare, and he had the letter of appointment from the President of the United States and the Secretary of State's signature, Kevin's proof of identity shouldn't be a problem.
Gu Nianzhi raised her eyebrows. She hadn't even mentioned it, but Lu Anpeng had already taken the initiative to take out Kevin's identification. It seemed like they had indeed made ample preparations.
She took Kevin's identification document from Lu Anpeng and glanced at it quietly.
She then turned on the portable scanner and scanned Kevin's diplomatic appointment letter and identification documents into the computer. She then put them on the big screen and replaced the surveillance video of the gunfight that had captured Kevin.
The audience in the courtroom looked up and saw two documents side by side on the big screen.
Both documents were written in both English and Chinese.
On the left was the letter of appointment signed by the President of the United States and the Secretary of State. On the right was Kevin's identification document.
Gu Nianzhi picked up the laser pointer and pointed at Kevin's identification document. "Everyone, please take a look at this identification document."
"Kevin Laris, born in 2xxx, New York. Father, John Laris, mother, Kelly Lee."
"From this, everyone can see that Kevin Laris received his education in New York from primary school to university. He graduated from Columbia University in New York 10 years ago and immediately joined Wall Street after graduation. In 10 years, he rose from a junior financial analyst all the way to a senior executive of Carlyle International Investments."
"This resume is indeed beautiful."
Gu Nianzhi was full of praise.
Lu Anpeng's relaxed brows furrowed again.
This was because he knew Gu Nianzhi's style too well. This young female lawyer had never said a single word of nonsense in court.
Nor had she ever praised her opponent.
Now, she was actually praising the defendant as the prosecution's lawyer. It was truly too strange.
Lu Anpeng's heart was in his throat. He was like a person waiting for the second shoe to drop. He nervously waited for Gu Nianzhi to continue speaking.
Gu Nianzhi put down the laser pointer in her hand and turned to look at Lu Anpeng. She smiled. "Lawyer Lu, how long have you known the defendant, Kevin?"
"Mr. Kevin is my client. I didn't have a selfless relationship with him in the past," Lu Anpeng said very cautiously, afraid to fall into Gu Nianzhi's trap.
Gu Nianzhi nodded. "So that means you came to Huaxia to see Kevin after the case, right?"
Lu Anpeng froze. "Does this have anything to do with the case?"
"You only have to answer yes or no." Gu Nianzhi didn't give Lu Anpeng a chance to talk nonsense.
The judge also supported Gu Nianzhi. "Defendant's lawyer, please answer the prosecution's lawyer's question."
Lu Anpeng thought about it before saying, "Yes, I was hired by Mr. Kevin's biological parents after the case. That's why I came here."
"Then how can you confirm that this Kevin Laris is the Kevin Laris on this letter of appointment and proof of identity?" Gu Nianzhi picked up the laser pointer and didn't turn around. She pointed behind her and happened to point at the name "Kevin" on the big screen.
Lu Anpeng was finally relieved. He thought to himself that he had overestimated Gu Nianzhi.
No matter how smart she was, she was only in her early twenties. How good could she be?
All the questions she asked were carefully prepared and confirmed by Lu Anpeng.
He wasn't afraid of her causing trouble!
Lu Anpeng laughed. His voice was mellow and humorous. "How do you prove it? Of course there's proof of immediate family, as well as circumstantial evidence from colleagues, friends, and neighbors. "
He pointed at Kevin and said, "This Mr. Kevin Laris in court has been confirmed by Mr. Kevin's parents and relatives. There's no doubt about his identity."
How could there be a problem?
Kevin's parents had spent so much money and effort to not only hire the best team of lawyers in the United States, but they had also used all their connections to get a diplomatic appointment letter for Kevin as a "cultural counselor" within two months.
To Kevin, this was tantamount to a gold medal that would exempt him from death.
Kevin's parents had paid almost half of their family fortune to satisfy the businessman-turned-president and get him to sign the only cultural counselor appointment letter.
Yes, there was no such position as a cultural counselor in the United States. This was added at the last minute for Kevin's special situation.
American diplomats reported directly to the Secretary of State, so as long as the Secretary of State agreed, it was completely reasonable and legal to create a "cultural counselor" position.
With such a large sum of money and such a large entourage, if he wasn't their biological son, who would have nothing better to do?
Also, Lu Anpeng had a DNA paternity certificate that could completely prove Kevin's identity.
He didn't know what Gu Nianzhi was thinking.
Lu Anpeng held a large handful of information that Kevin's parents had sent him and gradually calmed down.
If Gu Nianzhi continued to harass him on this issue, he would just throw the DNA certificate out.
In fact, Gu Nianzhi's next question was as expected, "… Then did you do a DNA test to verify paternity?"
