"Mrs. Zhou, there's no way we can fight this case. The other party's lawyer... is my private advisor, do you understand? He's the teacher of my teacher in the States. "
"What?" Mrs. Zhou was no longer calm.
"Dennis Wu is very good. There's no need to fight, let's just admit defeat. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time. Plus, if the other party can hire someone like Dennis Wu, they must have a powerful background. It's best if you don't mess with them," Mr. Zhang kindly warned.
"Stop trying to scare us. We've already investigated her thoroughly. She's just a head nurse at a hospital. She doesn't have much of a background. Other than being the illegitimate daughter of the Huo Family, there's nothing suspicious about her. Also, I heard that she's already cut ties with the Huo Family. The Huo Family won't care about her. We didn't pay you to listen to nonsense. Hurry up and fight this lawsuit for us, or else … we won't let this go."
Mrs. Zhou insisted and even threatened Zhang Shaochang...
"Your Honor, I'm ready. Can we begin?" Dennis Wu spoke in fluent Mandarin. He was elegant, gentle, and polite.
Huo Mien looked at Dennis Wu gratefully, "Thank you for your help, Uncle."
In the 57 years of Dennis Wu's life, he was the calmest defendant he had ever seen. He even called him "Uncle" warmly. How cute.
He nodded slightly at Huo Mien to show that he understood.
On the other hand, Zhang Shaochang was already sweating profusely. If he fought this case even though he knew he was going to lose, it might affect his future career as a lawyer. As a lawyer, the higher the winning rate, the more valuable he was. He had been in the industry for seven or eight years and had never lost a single case. Especially in the past few years, he had been doing very well. If he lost today, it would be difficult for him to continue in the industry.
Plus, his opponent this time was his private advisor. If his teacher found out, it would be troublesome.
No matter how he looked at it, Mr. Zhang didn't want to fight this case. Unfortunately, Mrs. Zhou refused to give up.
Her tone was aggressive, so Zhang Shaochang had no choice but to bite the bullet...
"Next, please ask your questions," the judge announced.
Zhang Shaochang resisted the pressure and slowly walked up to Huo Mien. He took a deep breath and asked, "Ms. Huo, I have a few questions for you. Please consider them carefully before you answer."
"Okay," Huo Mien's voice was crisp and pleasant, causing ripples in Su Yu's heart …
"Excuse me, where were you on September 6th at 11: 20 pm?"
"At Seductive Fox Nightclub."
"With whom? What did you do?"
"To pick up my friend, Miss Zhu Lingling. She's drunk."
"What happened next?" Lawyer Zhang asked.
Huo Mien paused for a moment and said slowly, "I saw Lingling being held in Zhou Guangming's arms. She didn't respond when I called out to her. She was already unconscious, so I suspected that she had been drugged."
"Excuse me, Zhu Lingling might have been drunk. You can't accuse my client of drugging her. That's not fair."
At this moment, Dennis Wu immediately raised his hand. "I object. If the other party's lawyer interrupted my client, it would make her recollections of that night deviate from what she remembered. This could lead to mistakes in her narration of the events. This is an invisible form of inducement."
"Objection sustained. Plaintiff's lawyer, please wait for the defendant to finish his statement before continuing to ask questions."
Zhang Shaochang's expression changed slightly, and the pressure in his heart increased once again...
Dennis Wu looked at Huo Mien kindly. "Please continue."
"Lingling is a good drinker, so she would never pass out no matter how much she drinks. Plus, she was there with her boyfriend that night. Why was she lying in Zhou Guangming's arms with her clothes disheveled? I saw Zhou Guangming touching her, so I angrily went up to stop him. Then, we got into an argument."
