"Your Honor, this is a list of the Gu assets that I obtained from other sources. For this reason, I compared it with the list submitted by Gu Yanran that the court forwarded to me. I can clearly see that the list submitted by the defendant, Gu Yanran, is at least two-thirds less than the list I have. Therefore, I have reason to believe that the defendant intentionally hid the assets that originally belonged to the Gu family and had ill intentions. Therefore, she is guilty of fraud. "
Gu Nianzhi looked in Gu Yanran's direction and enunciated each word slowly. Her eyes stared at Gu Yanran and did not miss a single change in her expression.
However, Gu Yanran was probably prepared, so she controlled her expression very well. She showed an appropriate expression of shock, then smiled slightly and shook her head. She seemed to be sighing with an expression of disbelief.
The judge looked down at the list submitted by Gu Nianzhi, then looked at the comparison of the two. After a long time, he looked up and asked Gu Nianzhi, "Where did you get this list from?"
Jin Wanyi's eyes flashed as she asked the judge, "Yes, Gu Nianzhi, where did you get this list? That's strange. Didn't you lose your memory? How could you remember how much the Gu family had? Also, you left the Gu Family seven years ago. Where did you get the inventory of the Gu Family's assets? "
Gu Nianzhi looked at Jin Wanyi, then at the judge. She purposely hesitated and stammered, "Do I have to say?"
"Of course. Otherwise, how would we know if you obtained this list legally? Evidence in court must follow the principles of procedural justice. Once there is a mistake in the procedure, even real evidence cannot be used as evidence in court. " Jin Wanyi immediately spoke with confidence. She appeared to be professional and sharp. "If you cannot state the source, then your list was obtained illegally and cannot be used as legal evidence in the first place."
Gu Yanran finally relaxed a little about Jin Wanyi. She thought that she had spent so much money to hire Jin Wanyi, so it was worth it …
The judge also said, "Plaintiff, please answer the court's question. An important principle in estate disputes is to first confirm the legality of the disputed subject matter. Only on this basis can the assets be distributed. "
Gu Nianzhi also looked troubled. After a while, she whispered, "Ye Xuan gave it to me."
"Who is Ye Xuan?" Jin Wanyi's heart pounded, and she was so excited that it was about to jump out of her throat.
This time, Gu Nianzhi had finally fallen into their trap …
Jin Wanyi was so excited that her hands were trembling.
Gu Yanran, on the other hand, closed her eyes and thanked the heavens in her heart …
That person could really be said to have taken every possibility into account.
However, Gu Yanran also had some doubts.
It was that person who told her that her father was Gu Xiangwen's lawyer. She didn't know about it at all.
If she had known, she would have dealt with the lawyer a long time ago …
I won't wait until today.
But how on earth did they know that?
Gu Yanran was confused. Her gaze wandered around the courtroom and unconsciously met Gu Nianzhi's gaze. Her mind went blank for a moment.
Gu Nianzhi's gaze swept past Gu Yanran's face.
Gu Yanran could only remember Gu Nianzhi's bright eyes. Her eyes were dark, like fine black velvet. They were soft and sparkling under the light, but they were bottomless. They hid all her thoughts and worries.
This 19-year-old girl was facing an increasingly difficult situation. How could she have such a calm and composed gaze?
Gu Yanran's heart skipped a beat. When she looked again, she saw that Gu Nianzhi had already lowered her head and was organizing the scattered documents on the table in front of her.
The judge banged his gavel. "Plaintiff, who is Ye Xuan? Please answer the court's questions."
Gu Nianzhi slowly raised her head and quickly glanced at Gu Yanran before looking back at the judge. She coughed lightly. "Ye Xuan is an orphan that my father, Gu Xiangwen, once supported. After my father met with misfortune, he worked under Gu Yanran as the Gu family's computer supervisor and financial supervisor. Therefore, I believe the list he provided."
"So it's this Ye Xuan. No wonder." Jin Wanyi perked up and immediately dropped her own bombshell. "Your Honor, the list of the Gu family's assets submitted by the plaintiff is not credible. On behalf of my client, I ask the court to carefully consider and not accept the contents of the list of the Gu family's assets submitted by the plaintiff."
"Objection!" Gu Nianzhi immediately refuted Jin Wanyi's suggestion. "This list was provided by the financial supervisor who is most familiar with the Gu family's assets. May I ask why the defendant's lawyer says it cannot be trusted?"
Jin Wanyi flashed a victorious smile and bared her pearly white teeth at Gu Nianzhi. She turned to the judge and said passionately, "Because Ye Xuan is deliberately framing me. Your Honor, you may not know yet, but Ye Xuan is indeed an orphan that Mr. Gu Xiangwen supported. However, after Mr. Gu's accident, Miss Gu Yanran was supporting the Gu family on her own. He took advantage of her when she was in danger and had wild ambitions. Not only did he forcibly occupy Miss Gu Yanran, but he also frequently abused her. He destroyed my client both physically and mentally. How can you believe the evidence provided by such a scumbag?! "
Gu Nianzhi revealed a stunned expression. It perfectly showed that she had no idea about this side of Ye Xuan.
Gu Yanran was secretly pleased. She was even more impressed by that person's strategy of killing three birds with one stone.
"What's more, Ye Xuan not only wants my client, but also all of the Gu family's assets! My client is only a weak woman. Under Ye Xuan's tyrannical power, she had to swallow her anger and deal with him. However, she swore that she would never agree to his demands. Ye Xuan saw that he couldn't get any benefits from my client, so he turned to threaten her. He said that if she didn't obey him and hand over all of his assets, he wouldn't let her get a single cent! " Jin Wanyi described it vividly like she was writing a novel. Many people in the courtroom listened with great interest, including Gu Nianzhi.
She widened her big, black eyes and said in shock, "No way? How could Ye Xuan be this kind of person? Lawyer Jin, are you sure you're defending in court and not telling stories in a teahouse? "
Jin Wanyi's face was a bit hot. Her statement just now was only to create a preconceived impression in the courtroom, so she intentionally exaggerated it. That way, she could gain the upper hand and create a bad image of Ye Xuan for everyone.
It was a bit out of line, but in a lawsuit, as long as it wasn't illegal, lawyers could do whatever they wanted. Didn't Gu Nianzhi use many methods in court in the past?
Jin Wanyi silently criticized Gu Nianzhi and turned to the judge. "Your Honor, there is evidence of Ye Xuan abusing my client." As she spoke, she presented the photos of Gu Yanran's injuries taken at the hospital a few days ago to the court.
"These photos are ironclad evidence of Ye Xuan abusing my client. Your Honor, please consider carefully and not accept Ye Xuan's testimony," Jin Wanyi said calmly.
Gu Nianzhi's eyes narrowed slightly as she quietly looked at Jin Wanyi.
She now understood that Jin Wanyi and Gu Yanran's plan was to completely make Ye Xuan lose his credibility as a witness.
As long as he lost his credibility, all of his testimony would have the possibility of being fake and would not be accepted by the court.
The judge looked down at the photos, as well as the doctor's examination report and the police officer's signature.
Gu Nianzhi didn't say anything the entire time. She waited for the judge to finish looking at the photos before saying, "Your Honor, can I see those photos?"
"Objection." Jin Wanyi immediately jumped up. "These photos are related to my client's privacy. Your Honor, please seal them and not spread them."
"Haha." Gu Nianzhi finally laughed then retracted her smile. She asked sternly, "Lawyer Jin, this is not right of you. How can you take out evidence to support your own point of view and then not allow others to see it? Furthermore, I am not someone else. I am the plaintiff in this case. If you say that your photos have nothing to do with this case, I will definitely not see them. But you are using these photos as evidence to refute the inventory of the Gu family's assets that I submitted. That is not unrelated to this case. May I ask what reason do you have to refuse to allow me to examine the photos? "
Jin Wanyi lowered her head and didn't meet her gaze as she said, "These photos are indirect evidence. According to the law, the judge can decide."
"Ok." Gu Nianzhi didn't look at her anymore and turned to look at the judge. "Your Honor, I can refuse to look at the photos, but I want to see the doctor's diagnosis report and the police officer's testimony. Also, I want to summon the doctor who treated the defendant, Gu Yanran, and the police officer who came into contact with Gu Yanran at the time. I need to interrogate them in court. "
The judge nodded. "Agreed." As he spoke, he kept the photos but ordered someone to bring the doctor's diagnosis report and the police officer's testimony to Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi didn't want to see Gu Yanran's disgusting photos anyway, so it was better not to let her see them. However, she still had to fight for it. It wouldn't be good if she was too calm and made the other party suspicious.
Very quickly, the court staff photocopied the doctor's diagnosis report and the police officer's testimony and placed it in front of Gu Nianzhi.
Then the judge announced, "Due to the appearance of new evidence, today's trial is over. The new evidence submitted by the defendant will be verified by the court, and the doctor and police will be summoned at the same time. The trial will resume next Monday. "
The gavel struck, and the second trial of the estate dispute case ended just like that.
Gu Nianzhi calmly put away all the documents and photocopies and put them in her laptop bag.
Jin Wanyi and Gu Yanran looked at each other and smiled confidently.
Jin Wanyi smiled as she walked to Gu Nianzhi and extended her hand. "Lawyer Gu, thank you for letting me win today."
Gu Nianzhi didn't look up, nor did she shake her hand. She didn't even look at her. With a frosty expression, she slammed her laptop bag on the table, zipped it up, and left the courtroom without looking back.
Ma Qiqi, who was listening by the side, panicked and called out, "Nianzhi!"
Gu Yanran couldn't help but laugh. "Oh my! Look at her face, it's never been so dark! She's so ungentlemanly. "
Jin Wanyi pulled Gu Yanran's arm and walked out. She laughed quietly. "Alright, Yanran. Keep your mouth shut. There's a tough battle next Monday."
Gu Yanran immediately calmed down, but the smile in her eyes rolled. She couldn't help it.
