Kevin's hands gradually tightened. His palms were sweating, but he could barely maintain a normal expression on his face.
He looked at Gu Nianzhi coldly and thought, How long has this woman been investigating him? How did she find out about something so long ago …
Did she really find out about it in the past two months?
If so, then her team's ability to act was too amazing.
Kevin glanced at the team of lawyers he had hired from the United States, and a trace of hostility flashed in his eyes.
Gu Nianzhi looked at him with a smile and had no intention of stopping. She continued to beat him when he was down. "Mr. Kevin, can you explain? Your mother has always been a housewife and has never worked. Your father's annual salary was Weibo more than 20 years ago. How did he afford a Chinese private tutor that exceeded his income level? "
"I can't figure it out. Won't Mr. Kevin explain it to us?"
Kevin looked away and snorted. "Lawyer Gu is so knowledgeable. Don't you know that there are people who don't live off their salary?"
He then snorted. "Oh, I forgot. You're from an ordinary background and have an ordinary family background. How would you know how the rich live their lives?"
He looked up and said dryly, "Back then, Princess Diana of England was only a kindergarten teacher. How did she marry into the British royal family and become the princess of the Crown Prince? I'm sure Lawyer Gu is also puzzled? "
"Oh, yes. Princess Diana was a kindergarten teacher back then. How did she marry the Crown Prince of England and become the princess of the Crown Prince?" Gu Nianzhi actually began to gossip excitedly.
Dianzhi's eyes were extraordinarily bright, like she was about to turn into a teenage girl chasing after her idol.
The corners of Kevin's eyes twitched uncontrollably. He began to feel that something was wrong, but the arrow had to be fired.
If he was the slightest bit careless, even his identity as a "cultural counselor" wouldn't be able to save him …
Lu Anpeng also felt that something was wrong and raised his voice to stop Kevin from continuing. "Lawyer Gu, Princess Diana was actually born into the Spencer family, which is second to none in the United Kingdom. This family has a tradition of marriage with the royal family."
"As for being a kindergarten teacher, it was just a job she did to pass time. It's just like how rich people like to do charity. No one would think they lived on that little salary."
Gu Nianzhi nodded with interest and said exaggeratedly, "I see … I really didn't know! Lawyer Lu, you know so much! "
Lu Anpeng: "…"
His migraine was coming back.
Kevin looked at Gu Nianzhi with disdain and said, "Now you know why my family was able to hire such an expensive private Chinese tutor for me?"
Gu Nianzhi shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, I still don't understand. Can you make it clearer? "
Kevin frowned and didn't want to talk.
The Indian barrister, Arif, said at once, "Very simple analogy. Princess Diana did not join the royal family because she was a kindergarten teacher, and my client did not use his father's annual salary to hire a private tutor. "
"Oh? Then what do you rely on? "Gu Nianzhi continued to ask with a smile. Her tone was gentle and her attitude was extremely kind.
The Indian-born lawyer, Arif, blurted out, "Of course it's the family fortune. This was the so-called 'old money'.
Money, the Blue Blood Family, compared to you upstarts who came later, I don't know how much higher! "
Gu Nianzhi chuckled. "So, Mr. Arif is saying that the defendant, Kevin's father, Laris, was born into an established family?"
"You could say that." The Indian-born lawyer, Arif, nodded, then asked Kevin, "… Is that right?"
Kevin rolled his eyes. "Of course, is there any other explanation? My father and mother's families have trust funds. The annual dividends are millions of US dollars, so why would they care about an annual salary of 50,000 US dollars? "
Gu Nianzhi waited for him to mention the trust fund.
She quickly walked back to her plaintiff's stand and turned on the computer. She pulled up a series of documents and put them on the big screen again. She pointed with a laser pointer and said, "Isn't this the structure chart of the Laris and Li families' trust funds?"
Kevin's pupils constricted imperceptibly, and his face darkened.
He said coldly, "You're messing with me! You clearly know where my family's money comes from, yet you still ask! "
Lu Anpeng immediately stood up and said, "Objection! My client's family fortune has nothing to do with this case. Counsel, please do not ramble on and on and waste everyone's time! "
The judge looked at Gu Nianzhi with some difficulty and said, "Lawyer Gu, if this question is no longer an issue, we can move on to the next topic."
Of course, Gu Nianzhi disagreed. She put away her smile and said seriously, "Your Honor, the fortune of Kevin's parents' family is closely related to this case. I will soon prove it."
The judge raised his eyebrows in surprise. He really couldn't see how it was related.
However, seeing that Gu Nianzhi spoke with certainty, and her previous experience proved that she wouldn't speak without thinking, the judge acquiesced to her request.
Gu Nianzhi immediately pulled up more evidence from her laptop and pointed them out one by one.
"Everyone, please look. This is the situation of the Laris family a hundred years ago. They were downright poor people in the Northern United States and had been doing odd jobs for a living.
"Fifty years ago, a young man from the Laris family went to Japan and stayed there for a few years. When he returned, he brought back an adopted Japanese boy, who was the biological father of Kevin, the subject of this case.
"After this young man returned to the United States, he suddenly had some money and began to do futures business in New York.
"After so many years, he actually didn't make much money, but the trust fund he set up for his adopted Japanese son, Laris, had a fixed amount of money deposited into it every year.
"This fixed amount of money is huge. On the surface, it looks like it was transferred from Brazil, South America. It is said that the young man earned the money from doing futures trading in Brazil.
"But in fact, if you follow the route map of these international fund transfers, no matter how many turns it takes or how many twists and turns it goes through, you will find that all these remittances actually come from one organization."
Gu Nianzhi pressed on the computer, and a special logo appeared on the big screen: a red sun rising from a blue sea.
"See? This is the source of all his funds. They all come from one account, the remittance account of the Tokyo Secret Service in Japan! "
"And what kind of organization is the Tokyo Secret Service in Japan? May I ask Lawyer Lu, do you know?" Gu Nianzhi tapped on the big screen with a laser pointer in her hand, as if she was going to knock out the key points of the mafia.
Lu Anpeng's face was livid, and his body trembled uneasily.
Gu Nianzhi's expression became even more solemn, and she said coldly, "The Tokyo Secret Service is the Japanese intelligence agency."
"How dare a family supported by the Japanese intelligence agency pretend to be noble in front of us!"
"Old money, blue blood … Do you know that the so-called 'old money' is the dirtiest and bloodiest? Because that is the money earned in the primitive capital accumulation stage, it is really blood and dirty from head to toe! "
Lu Anpeng began to panic and couldn't help but stand up and interrupt Gu Nianzhi's words, "Objection! These accusations by the prosecution lawyer are groundless! They cannot be used as evidence in court! "
Gu Nianzhi slapped the plaintiff's stand and said sternly, "I don't need you to judge whether this evidence is true or false! I have already sent it to the US Congress, and they will naturally judge whether it is true or false! "
"Your president's' Russia Connection 'is already hard enough. How about another' Sun Connection '?"
"Let's see if he is still willing to appoint a Japanese spy as a diplomat of the US government!"
