In the magnificent and dignified courtroom, the entire courtroom was extremely solemn. The presiding judge and two other judges sat at the top, followed by the clerk and the judge's assistant. Finally, the solemn and cold bailiffs sat.
The plaintiff and the defendant were set up on both sides. Their positions told everyone present that they were on opposite sides. This court session would determine which side the scales of justice would favor.
Zhang Dashan, Li Zimeng, and a female assistant sat in the plaintiff's seat.
It was his first time in court, and he was acting as the defendant. It was impossible for him not to be nervous. However, he could hear Xiao Luo's voice, which calmed him down a little. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
Fu Heyu was a fair-skinned lawyer in a well-ironed suit. He was tall and thin, but the space between his eyes was wider than the average person's. He looked like he was sneaking around. He sat confidently in the defendant's seat and looked straight ahead. His confidence was naturally exuded.
Chen Jianbai sat next to him. He didn't seem to realize that he was the defendant at all. He was sloppy and seemed to be humming a tune. When Zhang Dashan looked at him, he made a provocative gesture of cutting his throat.
"F * ck …"
Zhang Dashan couldn't stand this kind of provocation. If Xiao Luo hadn't stopped him, he would have stood up and fought back at Chen Jianbai.
However, Chen Jianbai's provocation swept away his nervousness.
…
In the cafe, Gu Qianlin looked at Xiao Luo in surprise. "What are you doing?"
She realized that Xiao Luo seemed to be talking to someone in the courtroom remotely.
Xiao Luo put down his headphones and looked up at her. He asked, "Officer Gu, did I break the law?"
"No."
"Since you didn't, please don't disturb me, okay? Thank you! "Xiao Luo said indifferently.
"You …"
Gu Qianlin was an elite among police officers. She was somewhat arrogant. She felt indignant that Xiao Luo treated her so coldly. However, she suppressed her anger and waved her hand, indicating that Xiao Luo should ignore her. However, she had no intention of leaving.
She ordered a cup of coffee and took out her phone to connect to the cafe's Wi-Fi. Then, she clicked on the live broadcast of the trial. She wanted to see what Xiao Luo was up to.
…
"Lo Fong's lawsuit against Chen Jianbai for publishing false news and tarnishing the company's reputation will now continue. If the plaintiff and defendant have any new statements, please add them." The presiding judge's dignified voice rang out in the huge courtroom, signaling the official start of the trial.
Fu Heyu was Hua's decision. by threatening my client's client and created a false recording to deceive the public to win the company's reputation..... this is slander, and openly in contempt of Hua's law.. it.................. is.
. "He spoke with a strong sense of righteousness.
Zhang Dashan received Xiao Luo's signal and retorted loudly, "You can't twist the facts with your empty words. You said that my client threatened the defendant to create a false recording. Then let me ask you, what evidence do you have to prove that my client threatened the defendant? Don't tell me it's all your own imagination?"
Huh?!
Xu Guansong, Lin Chongdong, Zhang Yong, and the others couldn't help but gasp in surprise. They thought to themselves, "This battle of words has already started an intense tug-of-war. It seems that this Zhang Dashan is quite capable."
Fu Heyu snorted softly. "Of course it's not my imagination. During the first trial, my client submitted an autopsy report to the presiding judge. It proves that the elderly gentleman who died at the Lo Fong store on March 20th died of sudden cardiac and cerebrovascular blockage due to an overdose of preservatives. This is an indisputable fact.
Therefore, what my client reported was true news and not fabricated out of thin air. It was also not a deliberate attempt to tarnish Luo's Workshop's reputation as the plaintiff claimed. He was just doing what a reporter should do and telling the public the truth. He was worthy of respect.
In addition, my client has also said that the recording was recorded according to the text provided by Luo's Workshop after he was threatened and intimidated by them. May I ask, can such a recording be considered evidence? "
The presiding judge and the other jurors nodded in agreement.
"Bullsh * t!"
Zhang Dashan stood up abruptly and cursed. Of course, this was not what Xiao Luo wanted him to say. It was just that he had been provoked by Fu Heyu's sophistry.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The presiding judge struck the gavel three times and warned Zhang Dashan, "Plaintiff, please watch your words!"
"Hahaha … What a boorish man. How dare he act as a representative in court? What a joke! "Fang Changlei crossed his legs. His face was full of disdain. He was laughing so hard that tears were coming out of his eyes.
The audience was a little noisy. The presiding judge called for silence three times before it quieted down again.
"Don't you dare swear!"
Xiao Luo reprimanded Zhang Dashan through his earpiece in the cafe.
Zhang Dashan took a deep breath and calmed down.
"Idiot!"
Fu Heyu cursed under his breath. He did not take Zhang Dashan seriously at all. In Jiangcheng, only Ge Zhongtian was worthy of being his opponent. He did not even have the desire to defend a nobody like Zhang Dashan to the best of his ability.
After Zhang Dashan calmed down, he coughed a few times and said in a gentle tone, "Presiding judge, I apologize for my slip of the tongue just now. I would like to request that the defendant's recording be played again in court."
The presiding judge nodded and gestured for the court staff to carry out Zhang Dashan's request.
Not long after, Chen Jianbai's arrogant words echoed in the spacious courtroom.
"I'll write whatever I want. If I say your bread poisoned someone to death, then your bread poisoned someone to death. Luo's Workshop is nothing, and you are nothing. But if the beautiful Department Head Li agrees to sleep with me for a night, I might just let you all live. Hahaha …"
Chen Jianbai's expression changed when he heard this. If he had known this day would come, he would not have been so arrogant. He had left behind such a tricky piece of evidence. He was too damn unlucky.
"Presiding Judge, Judge, the tone of this defendant's voice is extremely arrogant and egotistical. He even verbally harassed Luo's Workshop's beautiful Department Head Li. The defendant's defense claims that the defendant recorded this recording because he was intimidated and threatened. How can such bullsh * t claims stand? Oh, I'm sorry. I accidentally said some dirty words again, "Zhang Dashan said earnestly.
Indeed, Chen Jianbai's tone in the recording was arrogant beyond belief. If he had recorded it under threat, it would not have been in such a situation.
The presiding judge and the others nodded when they heard this. They thought that Zhang Dashan's words made sense. Everyone in the courtroom also agreed with this statement.
"Lawyer Fu, do you have anything to say about this?" The presiding judge looked at the defendant's seat.
