It was originally a night of blushing and heartbeat, but probably because Chengyao was not stimulated enough today, halfway through the heavy metal live performance, the person in charge of the underground bar suddenly went downstairs and began to evacuate the crowd.
"It's on fire! Everyone, go to the safe exit!"
Suddenly, the heavy metal music turned into a noisy and flustered human voice. Many people showed frightened expressions on their faces, but Cheng Yao didn't know why, but she didn't feel too scared, as if she had nothing to worry about as long as she was by Qian Heng's side. She hardly needs to use her brain, she just needs to hold Qian Heng's hand and follow him.
It's just that the only thing I didn't expect was that Cheng Yao's ten-centimeter stiletto heels broke in a very shameless way due to the haste of running.
Qian Heng didn't say anything, just squatted down slightly.
Cheng Yao was a little confused, so:
"Come on." Qian Heng's expression was calm and composed, as if it was most natural, "I will carry you."
"No, it's not far to go to the parking lot, just give me a little help."
Cheng Yao limped forward while refusing, but she was hugged by Qian Heng within a few steps.
"Okay, you succeeded."
"Hey?"
Qian Heng snorted: "Don't you want me to carry it on your back and want my princess to hug you? You think I don't know what you are doing carefully, and you can see my face just because the princess hugs you?"
"No... no!" Cheng Yao wanted to struggle to get down while speaking.
"Don't move around." Qian Heng gave Cheng Yao a warning look, "If you twist around again, I will hold you like this, and my waist will not be able to bear it."
Cheng Yao's body calmed down, but her mouth didn't stop. She glanced at Qian Heng's waist meaningfully: "This... man, I can't say that my waist can't bear it..."
Qian Heng was silent for a moment, and then said, "Cheng Yao, if you don't shut up, why don't you sleep with me tonight and check for yourself whether my waist is good or not."
"..."
Cheng Yao completely stopped.
—
After a frantic, exciting and sweet night, it's the next day's work.
Cheng Yao originally felt a little shy to see Qian Heng again, and wondered if she could control her good-looking eyes towards him so as not to be noticed by her colleagues, but fortunately, this problem was perfectly avoided. Early the next morning, Qian Heng flew to City B on a temporary business trip because of a family trust dispute case. Bao Rui, who went with him, was able to come back after the court hearing that day, but Qian Heng still needed to stay for two or three days to finish the rest of the client's matters after the incident. to come back.
Cheng Yao didn't have much time to think about Qian Heng. She represented Lin Fengjuan's child support dispute case and submitted it to the court. The presiding judge called Cheng Yao because the evidence was complicated. During the trial, the judge asked for an exchange of evidence before the trial, and of course Cheng Yao also wished for it.
The exchange of pre-trial evidence can clarify the evidence on which the parties’ claims are based before the formal trial, so that the parties can cross-examine the evidence in the trial, and also allow the judge to have a better grasp of the evidence involved in the case. It can also prevent one party from Sudden raids such as supplementary evidence during the trial caused the trial to be unsmooth, and had to be re-opened and cross-examined due to supplementary evidence, delaying the efficiency of case handling.
It's just the exchange of evidence before the trial. Although it is finally decided by the judge, it is generally applied by the parties first. Cheng Yao asked curiously, "Is it Lu Jian who applied for the exchange of evidence before the trial?"
"His lawyer applied." Judge Meng, who was in charge of the case, smiled on the phone: "I happen to be free at two o'clock this afternoon, and the other party is fine. If you want it, we can exchange evidence as soon as possible. At two o'clock in the afternoon, pre-court meeting room No. 4."
Cheng Yao was a little surprised and responded repeatedly.
She chatted with Judge Meng for a few more words, and asked casually, "Which law firm did Lu Jian hire?"
"Oh, Do you know Mr. Deng Ming from Dulwich Law Firm? He is quite famous."
Judge Meng hung up the phone, but Cheng Yao couldn't calm down for a long time.
Deng Ming.
This case unexpectedly hit Deng Ming.
This used to be Cheng Yao's goal of becoming a family lawyer. One day, he could finally stand upright in court, have a confrontation with Deng Ming, and then defeat him openly, tearing off his pretense of goodness and justice, and those His false professional competence.
It's just that Cheng Yao didn't expect that she would actually meet Deng Ming so quickly in her first case that she handled independently.
Although Deng Ming created an image of a conscientious lawyer to the outside world, in fact, when he took the case, his heart was all about money. Cheng Yao knew from Lin Fengjuan that Lu Jian's family background was good, but now it seems that it is not only good, but also very good. I am afraid that he must be rich or expensive, so he can invite Deng Ming to come out of the mountain. Jackals like Deng Ming would only appear if they could smell the freshest blood and flesh.
If money is always there, even ten Deng Mings will not lose this case.
However, he had long since cut off his own way, and rejected Qian Heng's intervention with great backbone.
Are you ready
Or go back and ask Qian Heng for help
As long as he opens his mouth, he will never refuse.
However, Cheng Yao's hand next to Qian Heng's name in the address book still froze.
Qian Heng can stand behind him, but he can't rely on Qian Heng forever.
In Bai Xingmeng's case, she was slapped in the face by Deng Ming. This time, she wanted to fight by herself.
Since my dream is to defeat Deng Ming in court, let's do it!
—
Knowing that Lu Jian's lawyer is Deng Ming, Cheng Yao is even more concerned about it. She went to the hotel where Lin Fengjuan and Lu Jian rented a room before, and asked Lin Fengjuan to check her previous room registration and confirm the opening time. At the same time, Cheng Yao also obtained evidence from several students who participated in the class reunion with Lin Fengjuan and Lu Jian. It can be proved that the opening time was on the same day as the class reunion, and after the class reunion, Lu Jian and Lin Fengjuan were indeed alone. With these evidences, combined with the previous recordings, it can be proved that Lu Jian did have a relationship with Lin Fengjuan after the class reunion. And Lin Fengjuan's child Hanhan was born at full term, so according to his birth date, if Hanhan is Lu Jian's child, then the time of Lu Jian and Lin Fengjuan's relationship this time can be completely matched, and there is no contradiction. In addition, Cheng Yao also obtained testimony from many high school classmates of Lin Fengjuan and Lu Jian, proving that the two had been in love for two years in high school, and they had a relationship foundation for each other's first love.
Before going to the court to exchange evidence before the trial, Cheng Yao rehearsed the possible situations and her own countermeasures over and over again, to ensure that as soon as her list of evidence was thrown out, she could slap Deng Ming in the face.
—
Cheng Yao told Lin Fengjuan about the exchange of evidence before the trial, and the two rushed to the court separately.
Coincidentally, they and Lu Jian and Deng Ming arrived at the pre-court conference room almost at the same time.
Deng Ming was wearing a slim-fit and narrow-waisted suit, his hair was pinned back with hairspray, the classic big back was combed meticulously, and his body was carefully sprayed with men's perfume. Cheng Yao just glanced casually and saw his briefcase, The eye-catching brand logo on the belt.
Cheng Yao hated him in her heart, the more she looked at him, the more she felt that the other party didn't look like a lawyer, but more like a pyramid scheme scammer wearing a high imitation of a famous brand. It's just that no matter how much she hates in her heart, Cheng Yao knows how to control her emotions. She kept every word of Qian Heng in mind, and she would never repeat the same mistakes and let her personal emotions affect the client's case. If you want to win this lawsuit, you should first abandon your own position and stand from the perspective of the parties involved.
Cheng Yao's side was very calm and professional, but Deng Ming's reaction was much stronger. He was obviously very surprised to meet Cheng Yao here, and he was taken aback, but soon, Deng Ming also returned to work.
Seeing that both parties and lawyers were in place, Judge Meng started the pre-trial evidence exchange according to the procedure: "In the case of Lin Fengjuan v. Lu Jian's confirmation of parent-child relationship and custody dispute, the judge Meng Dongmei presided over the pre-trial evidence exchange, and the clerk Shen Su Serve as a record, whether the parties concerned have applied for recusal... ”
Neither Lin Fengjuan nor Lu Jian applied for recusal.
Judge Meng clarified some basic facts in this case. At the same time, she also explained and analyzed the evidentiary materials submitted by Cheng Yao to Deng Ming: "Lin Fengjuan and her lawyer have sorted out a very detailed chain of evidence. In this On the basis of the chain of evidence, Lin Fengjuan has a chain of evidence sufficient to infer that Lu Jian and Hanhan may have a parent-child relationship. If you and your lawyer, Lu Jian, have no evidence to the contrary, but still firmly disagree with the paternity test, then once the case is filed Going through the litigation process, the court can handle it in accordance with the law, and it is presumed that Lin Fengjuan, who requested to confirm the parent-child relationship, claimed to be valid, and you, who did not cooperate with the court to conduct the paternity test, will have to bear the legal consequences of losing the lawsuit."
Deng Ming's face was calm and he didn't feel flustered at all. He glanced at Cheng Yao and smiled decisively. Then he took out a document from his briefcase: "Judge Meng, this is the evidence we submitted, and we hope Through this exchange of evidence, let the other party know our attitude." Deng Ming paused for a moment, then said sonorously, "My client, Lu Jian, has been diagnosed by the hospital long ago and is a patient with azoospermia, and it is incurable. Anorchidosis." Deng Ming glanced at Cheng Yao, "Unfortunately, Mr. Lu suffered from congenital anorchidism at birth. This is the result of a complete set of cases from birth to now and physical examinations over the years."
Cheng Yao knew that since Deng Ming had voluntarily applied for the exchange of pre-trial evidence, she naturally had defensible evidence in her hands, but she never thought it would be such subversive evidence!
From the hands of Judge Meng, she took over the evidence submitted by Deng Ming. Judging from the time of signing, these evidences really span a long time, and the paper of those medical certificates is also yellow, which seems to be quite old, and the medical examination records over the years are also classified and filed very carefully. For the convenience of viewing, Deng Ming highlighted the relevant case certificates with a marker pen, which is clear at a glance.
Lu Jian has no testicles? Then there is absolutely no viable sperm! No matter what, the child couldn't be his! Once Deng Ming's evidence comes out, even if Lu Jian refuses the paternity test, the parent-child relationship can be ruled out!
Lin Fengjuan naturally also saw this evidence, and she cried out in disbelief on the spot: "Impossible!" She muttered to herself, and looked at Cheng Yao as if asking for help, "This is impossible! I saw clearly that night See, he obviously has it! He is very healthy! How could it become some kind of congenital anorchidism?!"
Deng Ming ignored Lin Fengjuan's yelling, and glanced at Cheng Yao: "Of course you can question the authenticity, but what we have submitted is the most authentic evidence, and we are not afraid of any appraisal." He said confidently and flamboyantly, " On the contrary, Ms. Lin should think about it, how can I slander and blackmail my client?" Deng Ming pushed his glasses, "It's not because you are good at acting or you shout loudly, it's the truth."
But at this moment, Cheng Yao had no time to stop her, and she saw Lin Fengjuan get up suddenly, tearing up Lu Jian's medical and physical examination records hysterically.
Her face was flushed and angry: "This is fake! This evidence must be fake! Lu Jian, you are so shameless, you are a healthy man, have you forgotten what happened that night? Where you are, you can feel it as soon as you touch it, but now you are telling me that you are congenitally without testicles? What are you kidding?! Or did you directly castrate yourself in order not to recognize Hanhan?" Lin Fengjuan's eyes were red, " You are really shameless! Why did I listen to your rhetoric in the first place!"
Lin Fengjuan's emotions were completely out of control, and she didn't even care that she was in the court. She stood up on the spot, took out the photo of Hanhan in her mobile phone, and trembling, she wanted to show it to Lu Jian: "This is the child's full moon photo. Take a look! See for yourself, does this child look like you? Then look at the expression on his face, is he carved out of the same mold as you? Anyone with a discerning eye will see that this is your child! You are still sophistrying, saying that you can’t have children! You don’t recognize your own son, are you still human?!” Lin Fengjuan mentioned the child, and tears couldn’t help rolling in her eyes, “Hanhan is so beautiful and cute, but because of her innate heart disease, still lying in the intensive care unit, hanging by a thread, and your biological father not only denies the child and refuses to pay child support, but even goes to see it! If the child is gone, you are not afraid that he will turn into a ghost haunting you?!"
However, before the photo was handed over to Lu Jian, Deng Ming stopped him. He glanced at it casually, and then ruthlessly threw the phone back on the table. Compared with Lin Fengjuan's intense emotions, Deng Ming was rational and cold: "Lin Miss, please calm down. You tore up the original evidence provided by our party. According to the "Civil Procedure Law", this is an act of destroying important evidence and hindering the court's trial of the case. I believe that Judge Meng will give punishment as a confirmation In the case of parent-child relationship, if these medical certificates and physical examination records are torn up and cannot be identified, the party who tore up the evidence will bear the unfavorable legal consequences when the court makes a judgment."
For such a development, Cheng Yao was completely unexpected. What Deng Ming said was correct. In this case, considering that Lin Fengjuan was still breastfeeding, she might face a fine, and what was even more embarrassing was , because of her impulsiveness, she is likely to face the risk of losing the lawsuit.
Deng Ming, although he usually had a face of benevolence, morality, kindness, and kindness, but he really involved the interests of his client, and his whole aura was very aggressive. Lin Fengjuan was overwhelmed by his aura, and began to feel uneasy. She calmed down , began to look at Cheng Yao for help.
Judge Meng was obviously also very troubled by this farce-like exchange of pre-trial evidence. She took care of the clerk a few words, because she was rushing to start another case and asked the clerk to record everything that happened today. This pretrial exchange of evidence.
Before leaving, it was Deng Ming who stopped her: "By the way, Judge Meng, last time I heard that your daughter wants to have her teeth straightened. My child went to a private dental clinic in Singapore a few days ago. I think the service attitude is very good, and the straightening is also good. Very professional, I will send you the information later."
Judge Meng froze for a moment, nodded in surprise and thanked him, and left in a hurry.
Cheng Yao didn't care about this episode, but she didn't know that every behavior of Deng Ming was not meaningless. In Lin Fengjuan's eyes, this was another interpretation.
"That Lawyer Deng is very familiar with Judge Meng." After everyone left, Lin Fengjuan was silent for a while, and finally said with a pale face, "We have discussed the situation of the child with each other, and we must have a deep friendship. This case, the judge will definitely favor them." Lin Fengjuan said desperately and indignantly, "Sure enough, this society is like this. People with money and power can afford good lawyers and have connections. In modern society, there is nothing to say. Relationship?! The court is also black! It’s because there are people in the DPRK who are easy to handle!”
"No, you should trust the court and the judge." Faced with such a sudden change in the case, although Cheng Yao was a little surprised, she quickly regained her composure. She glanced at Lin Fengjuan, "Private acquaintance is one thing, but I believe The professionalism of the judges, if we can finally find evidence to turn defeat into victory, the judge will not rule the opponent in favor of the other party because of personal relationship."
Speaking of this, Lin Fengjuan became even more indignant and helpless: "Lawyer Cheng, I swear to you, Lu Jian is definitely not azoospermia, let alone congenital anorchidism." At this time, Lin Fengjuan couldn't care less Implicit and shy, "I can see very clearly that he is a very, very normal man, and his medical records must have been forged!"
If it was another lawyer, Cheng Yao might not doubt it, but if the other party is Deng Ming, it is not impossible to instruct the client to forge evidence.
It’s just that the current predicament is that most of the original evidence of Lu Jian has been torn up by Lin Fengjuan. Although some of them can be recovered by collage, the things restored in this way may not necessarily meet the original requirements for authentication; thirdly, Deng Ming It is impossible to count that Lin Fengjuan will tear up the evidence on the spot. If he dares to produce this original document, he may have already taken care of everything on the source of the fraud. Even if it is really sent for identification, nothing can be identified. And in this case, a paternity test cannot be done like the Dong Shan case, because Lu Jian's parents would never agree to do a test anyway, and they don't want to delay the family marriage because of this congenitally ill child. So far, the case has reached a stalemate.
"I have noticed that these medical diagnoses and physical examinations all come from the same private hospital. It is very likely that this hospital helped to participate in the fraud. I will keep an eye on this clue." Cheng Yao comforted Lin Fengjuan, "Don't worry , Fake things will never be real, they will always show their feet."
Lin Fengjuan wiped her tears and nodded, "I hope Lawyer Cheng will seek justice for me and my child!"
