Gu Nianzhi's mind raced.
Did she want Ye Xuan to testify in court, or not?
The judge had made it very clear that even if he testified in court, the possibility of his testimony being accepted was very low …
But from another perspective, if Ye Xuan testified in court, it would cause Gu Yanran immense psychological pressure.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Gu Nianzhi decided to summon Ye Xuan to testify in court.
Anyway, she had to prove that the list of assets that Gu Yanran had produced was fake. It wasn't something that could be accomplished with just Ye Xuan's testimony.
Gu Nianzhi nodded calmly. "Yes, Your Honor, I still want to summon Ye Xuan to testify in court."
What a joke. Would she give up?!
Professor He had spent so much effort to bring Ye Xuan back to the country safely. No matter what, she would not give up the opportunity to have Ye Xuan testify in court.
Jin Wanyi had also made ample preparations. The worst-case scenario would be Ye Xuan testifying in court.
She didn't expect that all of her previous precautions, including applying for a restraining order from another court, would not be able to stop Gu Nianzhi's determination and actions to summon Ye Xuan to testify in court.
Gu Yanran's face was even paler. She whispered to Jin Wanyi, "Didn't you apply for a restraining order? What did it mean that he had come to court? Are you going to ignore the verdict of another court? "
Jin Wanyi told her to calm down.
As expected, after the judge questioned Gu Nianzhi, he asked Jin Wanyi, "Defense lawyer, do you agree?"
Because Ye Xuan had a restraining order on him, he had to obtain Gu Yanran's permission if he wanted to testify in court. Only then could he appear within 10 meters of Gu Yanran.
If they appeared in the same courtroom, they would definitely be within ten meters of Gu Yanran.
If Gu Yanran didn't agree, then Ye Xuan couldn't testify in court.
Jin Wanyi stood up with a smile and said, "Ye Xuan once caused great harm to my client. No matter what, my client doesn't want to see him, much less appear in the same room as him. I hope that the court will seriously consider the restraining order that another court has issued to Ye Xuan because of the criminal assault case, prohibiting him from appearing within ten meters of my client. "
This was a clear rejection of Ye Xuan testifying in court.
The judge also felt a bit awkward. He looked at Gu Nianzhi and said, "Plaintiff, the defendant objects to Ye Xuan testifying in court because of the injunction. Your request may not be satisfied by the court. "
When Ma Qiqi heard this, she couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.
What should he do?
It was obvious that Nianzhi wasn't prepared …
She looked at Gu Nianzhi worriedly and considered whether she should suggest that the trial be adjourned temporarily and wait for another court to request an exemption before starting the trial again.
However, Gu Nianzhi didn't want to do that because she didn't want to wait any longer.
This case had been dragged on for long enough. She didn't want Gu Yanran to jump around anymore …
The consequence of letting Gu Yanran continue to control such a large amount of wealth was to endlessly hunt her down.
So while Jin Wanyi was talking, Gu Nianzhi thought about the restriction order. Although it was a bit sudden, she quickly came up with a countermeasure.
She smiled at the judge and said, "Your Honor, may I ask if there is a remote video conference system in this courtroom?"
The Judge understood at once, and could not help smiling approvingly. "Of course there is," he said gently. Our court system is all connected to the internet. "
"That's enough." Gu Nianzhi clasped her hands together. "I request that the court agree to allow Ye Xuan to testify remotely via video call. It will be like a conference call. We will question him here, and he will answer our questions through a live video call. "She then looked at Jin Wanyi and Gu Yanran." What do you two think? "
That was how a courtroom debate worked. A really good lawyer was good at adapting to changing circumstances.
Because everyone knew how to prepare before going to court, what really distinguished lawyers was their ability to improvise when they weren't fully prepared.
Jin Wanyi glared at Gu Nianzhi and gritted her teeth so hard they almost shattered.
She never imagined that Gu Nianzhi would be so mischievous and use a "live video call" to get rid of her "restriction order!"
Gu Yanran was also stunned. She looked around in the courtroom and mumbled, "… That works?!"
There was a live video call in court?!
Jin Wanyi gritted her teeth and said loudly, "Objection! The possibility of a live video call being fake is too high. Who knows if the person sitting there was Ye Xuan himself? Who knows if it interfered with his answers?! We can't accept this kind of method! "
Gu Nianzhi looked at Jin Wanyi with amusement and wagged a finger playfully. "Lawyer Jin, although I said it's a remote video call, it doesn't mean Ye Xuan has to testify on the other side of the ocean … We can choose a room in this courthouse and make sure it's at least ten meters away from the courtroom. Then, Ye Xuan will sit in that room alone and use the live video call to connect to us here. Then, won't we be able to guarantee that the person testifying is Ye Xuan himself? And he will definitely not be interfered with by the outside world? "
How could she come up with such a stupid idea!
When Gu Nianzhi proposed this idea, Huo Shaoheng, who was watching the live broadcast from the headquarters of the Special Operations Forces, couldn't help smiling.
At this point, Jin Wanyi and Gu Yanran could only glare. They couldn't think of any ideas to continue stopping Ye Xuan from testifying in court.
The judge nodded with a smile. "Ok, we'll follow the plaintiff's suggestion. Open the small conference room next to Court C. There's a webcam there that can connect to here."
By saying this, the judge agreed to allow Ye Xuan to testify in court.
Jin Wanyi's expression darkened. She silently sat next to Gu Yanran and tilted her head to whisper something to her.
Gu Yanran looked at her with uncertainty and whispered, "Is there really no way to stop it?"
Jin Wanyi shook her head and didn't say anything. However, the expression on her face proved that there was no way to change it.
Just as Gu Nianzhi had expected, Ye Xuan testifying in court wasn't to increase the credibility of the list of assets, but to increase the psychological pressure on Gu Yanran.
Soon after, Ye Xuan, who had been waiting outside the courthouse, was summoned.
Gu Nianzhi told him over the phone about the new method of testifying.
When Ye Xuan heard that he didn't have to face Gu Yanran directly, he sighed in relief and smiled. "That's great. This is the most suitable method for me to appear in court."
He followed the bailiff to the small conference room next to Court C.
The court staff turned on the webcam for him and connected it to Court A's internet system.
In Court A, the large computer screen hung down from the wall.
The connection was connected, and the handsome Ye Xuan appeared on the screen.
"Your Honor, ladies and gentlemen, I am Ye Xuan," he said politely. His slightly sunken eyes were even more charming.
