Gu Nianzhi was truly enraged this time.
Her lacquered eyes were like obsidian that had been washed by clear lake water, reflecting her fair cheeks and jet-black eyebrows. She was extremely plain, but also extremely beautiful.
A glowing shadow flashed in the thick inky color. The sudden burst of beauty was like fireworks in the night sky. It was dazzling and attracted everyone's attention.
In the entire courtroom, Gu Yanran was probably the only one who wasn't attracted to Gu Nianzhi …
She felt her face burn from the documents Gu Nianzhi threw at her. She had never been so embarrassed in her life!
Tilting her head, the documents flew past her face and fell to the ground. Gu Yanran said frantically, "It wasn't the Mid-Autumn Festival four years ago. It was the Mid-Autumn Festival three years ago!"
Gu Nianzhi looked at her coldly and couldn't help but have a trace of hostility on her face.
At that moment, she looked like He Zhichu's cold and ruthless expression again.
Gu Yanran looked up secretly and saw everyone in the courtroom looking unfriendly. She couldn't help but panic and tugged at Jin Wanyi's sleeve. "Wanyi? Help me … I … I remembered wrongly … "
Jin Wanyi groaned inwardly and could only mutter, "My client remembered wrongly …"
"Lawyer Jin, that's not how lawsuits are fought." Gu Nianzhi didn't even look at Jin Wanyi. She only stared at Gu Yanran. "You can't say you remembered wrongly every time I point out your criminal behavior. I confirmed again and again just now, and you said it was the Mid-Autumn Festival four years ago. You even said it was four years ago even if I asked a hundred times. Now that I've reminded you that Ye Xuan was underage four years ago, you want to change it to three years ago? Do you think the courtroom is your home? Do you think everything is up to you? "
Of course, Jin Wanyi knew these principles, but Gu Yanran was her client. She needed to do her best to help her, so even if the logic didn't make sense, she had to help Gu Yanran fill in the gaps …
Gu Nianzhi turned to look at the judge. "Your Honor, there is already a lot of evidence to prove that Gu Yanran lied about Ye Xuan. Why did she do everything she could to slander Ye Xuan and not let him testify in court? I have reason to believe that it's because Ye Xuan knows too much about the defendant, so she doesn't want him to testify in court! From this perspective, I request the court to prohibit the defendant from continuing to make a fuss about Ye Xuan's identity as a witness. Ye Xuan is a qualified and legitimate witness. His testimony should be accepted by the court like any other testimony. "
At this point in the trial, everyone basically knew what was going on.
Ye Xuan was a thorn in Gu Yanran's side, so she had to get rid of him as soon as possible.
The judge nodded and rapped his gavel. "Agree to the plaintiff's suggestion. The defendant shall not raise any further objections to Ye Xuan's identity as a witness. The court will accept Ye Xuan's testimony without discrimination. "
She finally cleared Ye Xuan's passive position in court because of the "restraining order."
Three hours had passed since he entered the court in the morning.
Gu Nianzhi had just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Ye Xuan say on the big screen, "I know why Gu Yanran doesn't want me to testify in court. Aside from the fact that she doesn't want to split all of the Gu fortune equally, it's also because she once tried to kill Gu Nianzhi. When Gu Nianzhi was in danger in Germany, Gu Yanran already knew who was behind it. Not only did she not provide any clues to help with the rescue, but she also asked me to intercept Gu Nianzhi's phone signal to prevent her from calling for help from the Hua Xia Empire. "
The courtroom was silent for a moment. Everyone looked at each other. They had no way to defend themselves against this shocking revelation.
This seemingly normal estate dispute case had finally become a murder case that many estate disputes ended up with.
The judge's expression changed instantly. He said sternly, "Ye Xuan, this matter you're talking about is very important. You cannot speak carelessly. May I ask if you have any evidence? "
Ye Xuan nodded. "I don't have much evidence on hand regarding the estate dispute, but I have sufficient evidence regarding Gu Nianzhi being in danger in Germany."
Because he had to track Gu Nianzhi's phone signal and intercept it, his tracking program had been monitoring it in real time. He had recorded a lot of what Gu Yanran had said to him while he was debugging it.
At that time, he didn't think too much about it and didn't delete the debugging program.
Now, it actually came in handy.
Gu Yanran suddenly raised her head to look at the cold Ye Xuan on the big screen. She shook her head frantically and said, "You're lying! You're lying! I didn't! I didn't want to harm her! I didn't! "
Huo Shaoheng's voice sounded from the Bluetooth headset in the judge's ear. "Director Gao, please calm the people in the courtroom. I'll immediately bring people over to take Ye Xuan away."
Gu Nianzhi's danger in Germany was related to the important case of two Special Operations Forces field personnel being killed. Huo Shaoheng, who was watching the live broadcast of the trial from the Special Operations Forces headquarters, keenly sensed that a breakthrough had appeared in the Germany case. He now had sufficient reason to intervene.
Also, Ye Xuan had exposed this matter, so the people behind Gu Yanran would not let him off.
For his safety, Huo Shaoheng also had to take Ye Xuan away immediately.
The judge nodded slightly and quietly said, "Ok."
Soon, the sound of the phone being hung up could be heard from the headset. The judge looked at Jin Wanyi and continued to ask calmly, "Defendant's lawyer, do you have anything else to ask Ye Xuan?"
Jin Wanyi smiled bitterly again.
What else could she ask?
She had originally prepared a bunch of questions to embarrass Ye Xuan, but asking now would only be asking for humiliation.
She looked at Gu Nianzhi with a complicated expression.
This little girl was not even 20 years old yet, but she was so experienced in court.
Her brain worked better than others, and she found the entry point quickly, ruthlessly, and accurately. With one slap, not only did she refute all of their accusations, but she also blocked any possibility of using the relationship between Gu Yanran and Ye Xuan to make an issue out of it.
She made all the questions she had painstakingly prepared for half a month go to waste …
Jin Wanyi took a deep breath and said to the judge, "No, we have nothing to ask Ye Xuan for now."
The judge made a note on the file and looked at Gu Nianzhi again. "Plaintiff, do you have anything else to ask the defendant?"
Gu Nianzhi did not know what was going on, but when she heard Ye Xuan say that Gu Yanran was involved in her danger in Germany, she did not feel it was strange at all. It was as if she had a premonition, so she did not express any surprise. Her attention was still focused on her estate dispute case.
She nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Honor. I still have questions for the defendant."
Gu Yanran only felt mentally and physically exhausted. Her entire face was pale, and she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles in the defendant's stand.
She asked Jin Wanyi quietly, "Why is it taking so long today? Can we retry it later? I'm tired … "
Jin Wanyi was even more tired.
Not only was her body tired, but she was also mentally tired.
However, she still patiently explained to Gu Yanran, "When to adjourn for a retrial depends on the progress of the case, whether the evidence is sufficient, and the judge. Gu Nianzhi still has questions for you now, so the judge will not adjourn the trial. "
The previous two adjournments were both because the case had reached a bottleneck and needed to wait for new evidence or witnesses to appear before restarting the trial.
Gu Yanran rubbed her temples and blushed. She lowered her voice and said, "I'm not feeling well …"
Jin Wanyi looked at her. "Pretending to be sick in court will not work. That's because the court will call a doctor to diagnose you. "
It's not like the court has to accommodate you just because you say you're not feeling well.
Gu Yanran was completely disappointed in Jin Wanyi when she heard that this wouldn't work and that wouldn't work.
She twisted her neck and said without looking at her, "If you lose this case, Lawyer Jin, think about your status in the Hua Xia Empire's legal community. Although I don't have much ability, I can still make it so that you can't find a job and no one will hire you as a lawyer. "
Jin Wanyi was so angry that she laughed. She moved closer to Gu Yanran's ear and whispered so softly that it was almost inaudible, "Gu Yanran, are you threatening me?"
"What do you think?" Gu Yanran glanced at her from the corner of her eye. She already looked like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water.
Jin Wanyi thought about the series of "blows" that Gu Yanran had experienced. For example, the video of her in bed with a man was posted online, and the entire internet had seen Gu Yanran's naked body. She also said that Ye Xuan had raped her and forced her, but was slapped in the face because she had seduced a minor. Also, she had lied many times and had been exposed without changing her expression or heart rate. She had immediately found new excuses to add on.
All of these things, if placed on any other woman, would make it impossible for them to live.
However, Gu Yanran didn't seem to care about these things at all.
This was someone who went against the mainstream public's values.
Jin Wanyi silently stamped Gu Yanran in her heart.
Gu Nianzhi saw the two of them whispering in front of her, so she frowned and coughed. "Lawyer Jin, I want to ask your client a few questions. Can she answer them?"
Jin Wanyi glanced at her. "Can I say no?"
"No."
