C802 A War Without Smoke(5)
"The truth? Everything that you did not see with your own eyes cannot be called the truth!" Teng Zhiming said to Fann Binn, "As far as I know, Lee Shan has a good relationship with you, right? You even worked together in the recent school performance, right? Then, can I think that this Miss Li has a very important relationship with you? According to the law, the testimony of witnesses who are clearly leaning towards the prosecution cannot be considered to be absolute evidence. Then what about evidence? Can you give me a physical evidence that you brought out?"
Just as Fann Binn was about to speak, Teng Zhijian said directly, "I know. I also admit that Miss Li was indeed kidnapped by a terrible person. Because this is not what I said, but what he said!"
Everyone's eyes instantly extended from Teng Zhijian's hand to the direction he pointed to. That was where Bao Yanzhe was standing!
"I admit that I kidnapped Lee Shan, but my motive for kidnapping was just a momentary distraction. Because I couldn't bear seeing her with Fann Binn, I became hot-headed for a moment. Thus, I hired Hu Ba and the others to capture Lee Shan and bring her to the Ling Family's old residence. Ling Gao didn't know about all of this, and I did it without telling her. Later on, when Ling Gao found out, he was afraid that he would be implicated as well. That's why he ran away with me. It had nothing to do with him at all. It was all my doing." Bao Yanzhe raised his head and said these words in a very smooth manner. These words were clearly inverting right and wrong, trying to justify Ling Gao's actions!
Fann Binn finally understood. This lawyer, Teng Zhijian, had completely understood Feng Xizhi and Bao Yanzhe's work. Perhaps it was with money, or perhaps it was with promises, that they were willing to be the top contractor. He had become the scapegoat of the Ling Family! This was very normal. Rather than going to jail together, it was better to cast the Ling Family aside. At least, the Ling Family would still give them benefits. When they came out of jail, they could enjoy life again!
Despicable, shameless, despicable! Fann Binn had already cursed all the profanities he could in his heart. He really did not know... So it turns out that a person can be shameless to such an extent! However, he couldn't find any reason to refute it. Teng Zhijian was like a worm in his stomach. He had already grasped and grasped the facts that he did not!
"No, Miss Wu was also kidnapped. Then, what is the motive for kidnapping her?" Lawyer Wang was still unwilling to give up. He stood up and refuted, "Don't tell me that Bao Yanzhe kidnapped Miss Wu because he covet her beauty, right?"
"Miss Wu was also kidnapped?" Teng Zhijian deliberately showed a surprised look and said, "Then why did someone see you enter and exit the Wu's Group during those two days according to my investigation? Your staff also told me that you were working in the office? Do I need to invite Miss Wu's staff to be a witness? "
" This... " Lawyer Wang was stunned. He turned his head to look at Fann Binn as if he wanted to find an answer.
Fann Binn gritted his teeth. He did not know how to answer Teng Zhijian's words, because he could not say that they kidnapped the wrong person that day. They mistakenly kidnapped Mieko as Wu Qi! Why? Because Nitta Mieko was a person who should not be exposed! Once Nitta and Mieko were exposed, it would be the same as proving to everyone that Nitta and Mieko were with him! At that time, the first person who would find him would probably be the Yamaguchi-gumi!
Not only did Fann Binn understand this logic, even Wu Qi, who was so weak that she had lost all her blood, was very clear about it. She also understood it very well! Therefore, before Fann Binn could say anything, Wu Qi had already clenched her fist. She said softly, "I, I was indeed not kidnapped..."
"Hua..." The crowd's expression finally changed, in court, once someone was suspected of cheating, it basically meant that this person had no credibility at all. It was very disadvantageous to a lawsuit. All tendencies would immediately go in the opposite direction of that person. Wu Qi saying this was equivalent to slapping herself. It was equivalent to saying to everyone, yes, I lied. 'I lied to you! '
"Your Honor, my trial and debate have come to an end, there's nothing more to say" Teng Zhijian was very satisfied with this result. He bowed and declared the conclusion of his debate.
"Agreed to the conclusion of the defense lawyer's debate." The judge knocked on the hammer and said to Lawyer Wang, who was at a loss, "Counselor Wang, what else do you have to say?"
Lawyer Wang froze on the spot. He was already stunned by the scene in front of him. Speak? What else could he say? What else could he say? He simply did not know how he should refute Teng Zhiming's defense. He simply did not have the ability to speak on behalf of the plaintiff, Wu Qi. Even the plaintiff had denied his words, so what else could he say? After a while, he stood up with a red face and stuttered. "Replying to Your Honor, I... No, there's nothing to defend "
"Alright, if the jury has no objections to the evidence, then this official will now declare court adjournment, announce on a date based on the facts of the evidence and withdraw from the court! " The judge hammered the gavel three times before standing up. Everyone in the court stood up as well. Today's case had come to an end.
This case had come to an end, but it could be seen from Fann Binn and Wu Qi's expressions. Today's blow was undoubtedly a huge blow to the two of them. This was the first time Fann Binn had encountered a situation where the situation had rapidly deteriorated from a guaranteed victory to a defeat. This time, he had really lost terribly.
To be honest, Fann Binn did not lose to the lawyer. He lost at his own hands. If Fann Binn had paid close attention to this matter, he would not have thought that it was a guaranteed victory. If he had made more preparations, perhaps he wouldn't have lost so badly today. He would not have been accused of being alive and dead by a mere lawyer who had turned the case upside down. He could only blame himself for being too careless and looking down on the Ling Family!
Ling Yongchen proudly smiled at the pale-faced Wu Qi. When he walked past her, he said in a low voice, "Miss Wu, I think your troubles are still coming. Do you know? My company is currently in a state of suspended production. You have done very well. Public opinion is indeed a sharp blade that can cut open a person's chest. But at the same time, public opinion is also a double-edged sword. Once used, it will not be good. It would backfire. Let's... wait and see! "
Facing Ling Yongchen's proud smile, Wu Qi only felt a wave of powerlessness from her delicate body. It was as if she was going to be on the verge of breaking down in the next moment. She was really about to break down, who could have thought... She had originally come to participate in this court full of confidence, but the result had greatly exceeded her expectations. What was there to say? To steal a chicken and not eat the rice? Perhaps it was more appropriate to use these words on her now. She couldn't help but ask in her heart, what exactly is wrong with this society? Could it be that good people don't live long, and bad people live for thousands of years?
Thinking about it, Wu Qi plopped back into her chair. Tears rolled down like a broken dam. Who could understand her sadness and pain?
Fann Binn sat on the chair with a blank face and looked at the spot where the judge was sitting in the middle of the empty room. He stood there blankly, not knowing what he was thinking. He knew that he had lost this time. Ever since he had obtained the golden needle, he had never lost in such a miserable and painful way before! Once the court decreed it, what would it be to Wu Qi? That would be the disaster of the prison, and that would be the day of the destruction of the Wu's Group! Such an outcome... It was too heavy, too tragic. Why... Why did it end up like this?
"Mr. Fann, I think you will be interested in calling me." At this moment, Teng Zhiming suddenly appeared in front of him. He smiled and handed him a business card. He said lightly, "Please remember my nationality. I am from R Country, so I think you should understand. Why did Ling Yongchen win this lawsuit today? Because behind him... There were many people supporting him, if it wasn't for Mr. Fann's stubbornness. I think that there are many things that can be avoided today. Goodbye. "
After saying that, Teng Zhiming turned around and left without any hesitation. Fann Binn looked at the name card in his hand and couldn't help but frown. " What did he want to say? There are many people supporting him? Don't I know that there is someone behind him? Hmph, even the City Party Secretary is secretly supporting him. He has no one but ghosts... Wait! What did he just say? Nationality? Country R... Country R..."
Suddenly, Fann Binn froze and was stunned. He subconsciously stood up from his chair. He stared at Teng Zhijian's back as he left. He frowned and said with an ashen face, “ Country R... Could it be that Teng Zhijian and the Yamaguchi-gumi..."
" Fann Binn... "Wu Qi cried as she came to Fann Binn's side. She sobbed and said," Sorry, we messed up today's matter... "
" The one who should be sorry should be me. Why is it you? " Fann Binn held Wu Qi in his arms with heartache and stroked her hair. He sighed and said, "Don't be sad. Since it has become a fact, let's think about how to save her. After all, there is still no official verdict. We still have a chance. "
" But... " Wu Qi's eyes were red and she said sadly, "That lawyer is so powerful. All of our testimony was overthrown by him. We... Do we still have hope and opportunities?"
"Now, even a living horse can only be a dead horse doctor..." Fann Binn sighed and looked at the name card in his hand. " There are some things that we can talk about when we get back. I will immediately call Uncle Chiang and Uncle Lee and tell them the results of today's court session. Let's see what they can do."
"Okay." Wu Qi nodded obediently and used a tissue to wipe the tears on her pretty face. " I really didn't expect that even Manager Sang would betray the company. He must have gotten some benefits, or he must have received a serious threat. After all, he was an old employee who had followed me all the way since the company was about to close down. How could it be..."
"In this kind of society where money and benefits are everywhere, just believing in the sincerity and loyalty of the employees is already impossible. Everyone has their own aspirations, they have their own ideas. Even if you didn't think of it, it has already become a fact. Reality is so cruel. Wu Qi, I am afraid that the difficulties we are facing have just begun. "
Fann Binn pulled her up and supported her as they walked out of the court. Facing this previously crowded but now extremely cold court, today, he understood at least one thing. The two armies were fighting. Only by killing the enemy and killing the enemy would it be the safest victory! Before this, everything was just empty talk, a miracle... It would always happen out of nowhere...
