Lu Ming did not show up to participate in the pre-trial communication organized by the Wu'an Court. It was Han Annie who took the lead. On the other side, Richard also did not participate and sent his assistant, lawyer Deke.
The court procedure for this case was that the advance team of the Montenegrin Lawyers Group submitted the litigation documents.
Wu'an Court decided to accept the case and then sent a letter to Ma Quanyou asking him to respond.
In this way, the Montenegrin Law Group and Richard Law Group arrived in Wuan one after another.
Then the chief judge of Wu'an Court, Boris, resigned and was replaced by a new chief judge named Zhu Zhenglong.
The case involving the "Ma Quanyou Military Officer Group" was also brought to Zhu Zhenglong's court.
The legal procedure seems to be not much different from that of the East China Sea Court, but in fact there are many parties fighting behind the scenes and many inside stories.
…
When Lu Ming arrived at Gaoji Teahouse, Han Annie was arguing with a middle-aged fat man in a private room on the second floor.
Lu Ming heard the report from Ma Bianwu, who said that a fat man in his forties had come and intercepted Han Annie just after she came out of the court. The two of them had a disagreement and soon started quarreling. Ma Bianwu's people were going to intervene, but Prosecutor Han said that it was her brother and it was difficult for an honest official to judge family affairs, so the guards could only stand aside, but still followed them. When they saw them enter Gao Ji Teahouse, they went back to report.
"Annie!" Lu Ming lifted the curtain of the private room and came in with a smile.
The quarrel stopped. Han Annie saw that it was Lu Ming, so she lowered her head and picked up the tea to drink.
"Who are you? Xiaowu! How come you let anyone in so easily?!" the fat man frowned.
Lu Ming knew that the "Xiao Wu" he was talking about should be the security guard standing outside, but he had been controlled by Ma Bianwu's men.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "I'm a friend of Prosecutor Han. My name is Zhang A Ming."
Han Annie whispered: "This is my second brother, Han Anhu."
Lu Ming nodded slightly. He was Han Annie's half-brother. Han Annie's father, Han Renwang, was over seventy years old. The eldest son, Han Anlong, was already in his early fifties. Han Anhu also looked to be in his fifties.
"A Ming?" Han Anhu obviously felt that this name was obviously a name of a southern country bumpkin, and looked at Lu Ming with some disdain. He looked at Han Anni and said, "Nizi, is this a friend you made in the south?"
Lu Ming was helpless. He was obviously another giant baby. As the son of the city’s brigade commander, he didn’t even know the name of “Zhang A Ming”, one of the protagonists of the city’s top event.
Han Annie didn't seem to bother to pay attention to this second brother, and nodded casually: "Yes."
Han Anhu looked even more angry: "Just for him, you don't want to get married?!"
Lu Ming was just moving a small stool to sit next to him. Hearing this, he waved his hands and said, "No, no, Prosecutor Han has someone else in his heart."
Han Annie was helpless. This guy was never afraid of trouble. But seeing him move a small wooden stool and sit down like a bullied person, and thinking about his current status, she couldn't help but feel angry and amused.
Han Anhu's eyes widened as he listened to Lu Ming's words. "Nizi, the Long family is the richest family in Northern Xinjiang. Young Master Long is a handsome man and he also studied law at Xin University, just like you. Our family can't compare with them at all. We don't even know where to go if we want to marry someone of higher status. But Young Master Long just fell in love with you. You saw him in the newspapers and on TV in Donghai, didn't you? Young Master Long asked people to go to Donghai to find out about you, and only then did they know that you are from Northern Xinjiang and are our little sister. That's why he asked people to propose marriage. You see how affectionate Young Master Long is. Isn't this what you guys are talking about, that free love, right?"
Han Annie didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she knew that her second brother didn't understand anything, so she shook her head and said, "Second brother, I don't want to say any more."
"Then go home. Dad has something to tell you." Han Anhu blew his beard and glared, "You came back to Northern Xinjiang and didn't even call Dad. And where's your mom? Didn't she come back? She's been going crazy outside for several years. I'll see if Dad doesn't beat her to death when he sees her!"
Lu Ming could feel that Han Annie's body was trembling slightly when she heard this, and she was obviously very angry.
"Brother, I won't go back. That place is not my home anymore, let alone marriage. You have accepted the betrothal gifts, so you can figure out a way. I won't get married. I have a lover!" Han Annie pointed at Lu Ming, "It's him!"
Han Anhu immediately glared at Lu Ming.
Han Annie said, "Don't curse at people! If you curse him, you might get into big trouble. His name is Zhang A Ming, and he is the sworn brother of a prince of the empire. The two of them are as close as one person. In addition, if you read the newspaper recently, you will know that he is the vice president of the newly established Beiheishan State in Jiangbei. He is much more senior than my father! Marshal Qi has to be polite when he sees him."
Han Anhu just opened his mouth to curse, but after hearing what Han Annie said, he immediately swallowed the curse back, his face turned red and he started coughing.
When Lu Ming heard about the Long family, he was thinking that the Military Intelligence Department had contact points in the major cities of the four provinces, but the only contact point in Dongcheng, Northern Frontier Province, was supposed to conduct a routine investigation on the Long family. However, soon, the contact point completely lost contact.
The Long family in Dongcheng is obviously quite evil.
But no matter what, this may not be a bad choice for Han Annie.
So I could only listen from the side, but I didn't want the brother and sister to confuse me with just a few words.
Han Anhu looked at Lu Ming and suddenly slapped his forehead, "Oh, you are the one who is here to sue recently, right? You were the deputy commander of some newly independent republic, and instead of doing your job, you are here to sue..." He suddenly stopped talking. It was obvious that this was what he talked about at home or with his friends. He was not a person who liked to think, so he was speechless for a moment.
Lu Ming smiled: "Yes, you are right, it is me."
Han Annie frowned and said, "Second brother, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Look at how many people studying law have come to Wu'an now. The far-reaching impact of this lawsuit will definitely go down in the history of the four northern provinces."
Lu Ming secretly felt ashamed. He had never thought about the lawsuit from this perspective. His main purpose was to use it to mess with the relationship between Qi Huaide and Ma Quanyou.
Han Anhu nodded: "That's right. By the way, Young Master Long will be here in a few days." He glanced at Lu Ming and said, "I'm going to go back and talk to my father about this. Let's see what he means."
"It has nothing to do with Dad. I told you, I have a lover." Han Annie pointed at Lu Ming.
Han Anhu looked at Lu Ming, "So, you want to marry Nizi?"
Lu Ming paused and said, "If Prosecutor Han has no objection, I, Zhang A Ming, can marry Prosecutor Han as my second wife."
I immediately noticed Han Anni staring at me. It was obvious that you were the one who was trying to get away from the situation. Who really wanted to marry you
Or maybe he is also saying, I didn’t expect that your incarnation already has a wife, you are really a playboy.
Han Anhu nodded with satisfaction: "If that's the case, then of course we don't need to bother with that pretty boy from the Long family!"
In the blink of an eye, Young Master Long went from being the son of the richest family in Northern Xinjiang to a gigolo.
Han Anhu knew clearly about his background that in the northern border, no matter how powerful a businessman was, he was nothing. The seal was the real king.
Of course, the Long family only makes friends with the top dignitaries in the provincial government, and the Han family is not even on the list.
But this deputy commander himself belongs to the top powerful class in the Northern Territory, and his power is more direct than that of the Long family.
Moreover, although I didn't remember the name of Deputy Marshal Zhang, I heard that this deputy marshal was a close confidant of Prince Black Mountain Castle, who was a top imperial noble. Through Vice President Zhang's connections, it was equivalent to getting a stepping stone into the circle of the top imperial nobles.
A trade-off? Need I say more
Even though I have a simple mind, I can imagine that my father would have the same idea as me.
As Han Anhu spoke, he felt very satisfied with the wit he had displayed.
Hearing his words, Han Anni didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and stood up, "I'm leaving!"
"Well, go ahead. Marshal Zhang and I..." Han Anhu looked at Lu Ming, "Look..."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Okay, second brother, let's chat and get to know each other. I also want to become good friends with you. Forget about the title of Marshal. I don't deserve it. Just call me Ah Ming."
Stunned for a moment, Han Annie glared at Lu Ming, lifted the door curtain and left in anger.
