At the end of the trial, Deng Ming and Lu Jianzhi exited one after another in satisfaction.
Although she had been mentally prepared, Lin Fengjuan couldn't help crying when she heard the verdict, but when she was about to cry, she was interrupted by Cheng Yao's pat.
Cheng Yao didn't show any outstanding performance in this court trial, and even seemed dull enough to follow the steps. It was only now that Lin Fengjuan realized that her eyes were bright and confident, and her tone was calm and calm: "Don't cry, as long as you and I tell the truth and Hanhan is really Lu Jian's child, then we will handle the case in the second instance." Can win."
"Second trial?"
"kindness."
Lin Fengjuan was very puzzled: "But in the face of the evidence in the first trial, I have already lost, so what's the point of appealing to the second trial? The judge will not suddenly change the verdict that I won..."
"No." Cheng Yao smiled, "We have the paternity test report as new evidence for the second trial."
"The paternity test report of Lu Jian and Hanhan?" Lin Fengjuan was completely confused, "But... but Lu Jian did not agree to the paternity test at all! Even in order not to test, he found unscrupulous hospitals and doctors to forge his azoospermia test report." There is a case, and the thing that was injured can’t be identified as fake. What else can we do to get him to do a paternity test? The court can’t force him to do it... "
Cheng Yao pointed to the canned black tea that Lu Jian threw down after drinking in the trash can not far from the dock: "That's our new evidence."
At this time, Judge Meng came over, and she nodded to Cheng Yao: "The people from the appraisal office have come, let them come in to collect evidence."
Cheng Yao nodded, and not long after, staff from a professional third-party independent appraisal agency entered the trial court, and then, wearing gloves, took the canned black tea that Lu Jian had discarded after drinking from the trash can. The procedure was encased in evidence bags.
The staff member of the laboratory smiled at Cheng Yao: "Lawyer Cheng, then just leave the rest to us. The paternity test report will be out in about a week, and we will notify you of the result at that time."
Saliva contains human oral epithelial cells, and these cells contain DNA. Therefore, the saliva left on the mouth of the canned black tea that Lu Jian finished drinking can be used for paternity identification.
"Thank you!" Cheng Yao breathed a sigh of relief sincerely, and then she turned to look at Judge Meng, "Thank you very much, Judge Meng, too, thank you for approving my application to transfer the court trial monitoring, so that I can complete the chain of evidence, from Surveillance confirmed that this bottle of canned black tea was indeed drunk and discarded by Lu Jian, so that a third-party appraisal agency can conduct an appraisal of the parent-child relationship between Lu Jian and Hanhan."
Judge Meng smiled: "This is what I should do."
After Judge Meng finished speaking, he sorted out the materials and was about to leave when Deng Ming and Lu Jian pushed the door open again and walked back into the trial court.
Lu Jian's face was a little suspicious and unclear, but Deng Ming's face was much uglier. He looked at Judge Meng: "Judge Meng, I was just about to leave, but it seems that there is an identification machine..."
Soon, Deng Ming knew that he didn't need to ask this question, because behind Cheng Yao, he saw the staff of the appraisal agency he also knew, and the other party was holding an evidence bag containing canned black tea...
Deng Ming glared at Cheng Yao almost reflexively, but Cheng Yao didn't bother to pretend this time, she didn't flinch, nor did she promise, but just looked back at each other with clear eyes, neither humble nor overbearing, with her head held high.
Lu Jian hadn't fully reacted yet, but Deng Ming had already figured everything out. His eyes almost split open, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Cheng Yao, you set me up."
Feng Shui took turns, and now it was finally Cheng Yao's turn to smile: "What is this called design?" Cheng Yao glanced at Deng Ming, "At least I didn't forge the fake evidence of your client's infertility like you did. Legal and reasonable evidence collection , what did I do wrong?"
Hearing this and seeing the black tea pot in the evidence bag, Lu Jian finally realized something. His complacent expression just now disappeared, and his face was covered with anxiety and panic: " Lawyer Deng, what's going on?"
Deng Ming didn't have time to pay attention to Lu Jian. He blocked Judge Meng's way: "Judge Meng, you directly allow the other party's lawyer to use such unknown materials for identification. Isn't the identification procedure legal?" Deng Ming said aggressively, "What's more, you Doing so violates the principle of neutrality between the judge and the court, and it constitutes a mandatory paternity test on my client." At this point, Deng Ming's hypocritical mask was gradually torn off, and he stared at Judge Meng, "You Aren’t you afraid of being exposed if you favor the other party’s behavior? Nowadays, the Internet is not friendly to public officials like judges. Even if judges have done nothing wrong, public opinion is not necessarily on the side of judges who are civil servants of the country, let alone you. Disregarding fairness and justice to favor the other party's behavior!"
These words sounded like righteous words to argue for her client, but Lian Chengyao also faintly heard threats in Deng Ming's words—
If you approve of this appraisal, if it goes smoothly, don't blame me for using public opinion to put pressure on you...
"Deng Ming." Judge Meng still smiled very gently, but every word was majestic, "Your client Lu Jian drank this can of black tea during the trial and disposed of it freely according to his own will. Throwing it in the trash can. These actions were all done by himself. No one threatened or coerced them. These facts are proved by the court video. Therefore, the identified materials do not belong to unknown sources, and I have not violated neutrality. Lin Fengjuan and her lawyer did not infringe on your client's personal freedom and other legal interests, and the identification process is completely legal."
"As for the online public opinion you mentioned, we judges are not pursuing the false reputation that is touted on the Internet. As long as each case is handled with a clear conscience, my work will be done well. As for whether we are attacked by public opinion that does not know the truth, we don't care. .”
Judge Meng stared into Deng Ming's eyes. Although she was a middle-aged woman who was not too tall, her aura seemed to be 2.8 meters at the moment: "Lawyer Deng, I have known you for many years, but in handling the case , there is no human relationship to talk about, you should understand. What's more, at this time, I suggest that you should pay more attention. If Han Han and Lu Jian are identified as having a parent-child relationship, how should you and your client explain his insensitivity? Syndrome? Perjury is a criminal offense.”
Lu Jian stared in disbelief, staring at Lin Fengjuan and Cheng Yao: "No!! I don't accept it!! You can't make such an appraisal!! This is illegal!! I have already said that I am azoospermic, this The child can't be mine!!" He tried to pull Judge Meng, "I'm getting married next month, Judge, do you know how important this marriage is to me and my family?!!"
Judge Meng pulled Lu Jian's hand away: "If you are really azoospermic, then this paternity test result will not affect you..."
It's just that before Judge Meng finished speaking, the hysterical Lu Jian jumped over her and rushed to the staff of the laboratory, trying to snatch the evidence bag containing the canned black tea in their hands.
The scene was chaotic. Lu Jian completely lost the complacency and leisure on his face before. He became panicked and uneasy. After being restrained by the bailiff, he was already in a mess, and his face was scratched from the struggle just now. It looked like it was aloof before.
Judge Meng and the bailiff explained a few words, then straightened the judge's robe, and walked out of the courtroom calmly and solemnly.
Lin Fengjuan held back her tears, and before Cheng Yao had time to stop her, she rushed forward and slapped Lu Jian loudly.
"This slap is for myself and Hanhan. The law is just, and the law will not let a shameless person like you go."
—
Before Cheng Yao finally took Lin Fengjuan to leave, Deng Ming finally said something behind his back like a ghost.
"Cheng Yao, you really can't bark like a biting dog. This time I underestimated the enemy, and you got lucky. But in this case, don't think that you can rest easy if you win against me." Deng Ming's voice was dark , he gritted his teeth word by word, "You wait."
"Deng Ming, I can defeat you in this case, and I will defeat you in other cases one by one in the future. I will let you know that I am not relying on luck. You may be able to have a good time with such a profligate litigator, but In the end, you don't deserve to stand in the same courtroom as professional lawyers." Cheng Yao straightened her back, "I will tear away your so-called 'myth of undefeated conscience in the legal industry' bit by bit. come down."
This time, even if the paternity test report can directly slap Lu Jian's azoospermia case, Cheng Yao is basically sure that the evidence is falsified, and Deng Ming will push it all to Lu Jian without hesitation, claiming that he is also the victim , did not know about Lu's construction of fakes. Even the outcome of losing the lawsuit can be inferred because Lu Jian deceived himself and did not provide the real situation, which led him to miscalculate the case and choose the wrong way to respond to the lawsuit.
However, no matter what, he came out of a desperate situation and abruptly turned the case around.
Lin Fengjuan was also immersed in ecstasy and shock. She glanced at Cheng Yao and confirmed again and again in disbelief: "Lawyer Cheng, is it... can I win this lawsuit?! I can prove that Hanhan belongs to Lu Jian child?"
Cheng Yao nodded: "Well, as long as Han Han is indeed born to Lu Jian, then Lu Jian can't run away." She smiled apologetically at Lin Fengjuan, "I'm sorry, I didn't talk to you in advance to prevent Deng Ming from seeing the problem. You said hello, because this way your expression will not be so sure that they will be suspicious."
With tears in her eyes, Lin Fengjuan kept shaking her head: "No, you don't need to apologize to me, Lawyer Cheng, I should thank you. Thank you for not giving up on me, thank you for taking this legal aid case, Thank you for not looking down on me, not judging me in your heart, and despising me for the wrong things I did. It made me realize the respect that lawyers have for clients, and made me feel more comfortable throughout the whole case. I should be most grateful It was you who fought against the pressure to win a chance for Hanhan."
After Lin Fengjuan finished speaking, she didn't allow Cheng Yao to react, and knelt down in front of Cheng Yao with a plop: "Lawyer Cheng, Han Han's illness has recovered, I'll be the first to bring him to see you, thank you!"
Cheng Yao almost immediately reached out to help Lin Fengjuan up: "The paternity test has not come out, and the second trial of the case has not yet started, it is too early for you to thank me. Besides, I have already said that no matter what kind of case it is, , as long as it is my client, it is equally important, I just did what I should do."
Under Cheng Yao's insistence, Lin Fengjuan finally stood up, but the gratitude from the heart in her eyes was real.
"Lawyer Cheng, I should not only thank you, but also apologize to you. It was my own preconceived notion that you must be unprofessional when you are young and a girl." Lin Fengjuan said shyly, "At that time, I still felt that I could come to pick you up. This kind of free legal aid case is definitely not a good lawyer. My legal aid case is just a superficial article that the country wants to use to promote and help vulnerable groups. I didn't actively cooperate with you... "
What Lin Fengjuan said, Cheng Yao naturally understood, but from the very beginning, Cheng Yao never corrected her prejudices, because many things, no matter how many words and explanations, are not as convincing as actual actions powerful.
"I'm not the best lawyer. There are many better lawyers than me. Apart from lawyers, many judges also enforce the law impartially and uprightly, just like Judge Meng. Not biased." Cheng Yao smiled at Lin Fengjuan, "Have more confidence in our country's legal system and system. Be more patient. Although it is not the best, it will get better and better."
—
After sending Lin Fengjuan away and walking out of the trial court, Cheng Yao suddenly realized that more than an hour had passed, and during this hour, because of her high nervousness, she hadn't drank any water, and now she felt a little thirsty and unbearable .
Just as she was about to go to the vending machine to buy water, a hand held a bottle of Evian and handed it to her.
"I've seen it, and there's no Evian in the vending machines in this courthouse."
Standing in front of Cheng Yao was Qian Heng, who was tall, leggy and well-fitted in a suit. He handed Yiyun to the stunned Cheng Yao: "So I went to the 711 opposite to buy Yiyun."
Cheng Yao stared blankly at the water in her hand. The high-intensity court trial just now had exhausted her energy. She was thinking dizzily, shouldn't Qian Heng still be in City B? Why are you back? Why are you here
Qian Heng looked at Cheng Yao, but frowned, then he took Yi Yun from Cheng Yao's hand again, unscrewed the bottle cap for her smoothly, and handed it back to Cheng Yao again, His tone was a little helpless, his voice was still high and cold, but his tone was not cold: "If you twist the bottle cap, you must have your boyfriend twist it." Qian Heng glanced at Cheng Yao lightly, "Squeamish."
It wasn't until then that Cheng Yao came to her senses, she took Evian and finished drinking, staring into Qian Heng's eyes: "Aren't you still worried about my first case, so you came back from City B? "
"No." Qian Heng turned his head subconsciously and denied, "Oh, I rushed back from City B last time because I took some people's words seriously, only to find out that for women, what is the meaning of 'I miss you'? ', 'I love you' are almost the same as 'Have you eaten', they are just polite greetings."
Qian Heng raised his head and looked not far away: "Will I, Qian Heng, fall into the same pit twice?" He snorted, "It's just a coincidence that I'm here, the case in City B is over, this morning Because another case happened to be held in this court, so I flew over from City B in a hurry... "
"Boss." Cheng Yao interrupted Qian Heng, and she suddenly said harshly, "Turn your head around first, and then look into my eyes. Then tell me, what case you are here for, and which judge is presiding over it?" Trial, what court number is it in?"
"..."
Qian Heng did not expect that the way he questioned Cheng Yao back then was used by Cheng Yao on himself again. His ears were a little red, and he glanced at Cheng Yao with a slightly unnatural expression, and said harshly, "As a subordinate, you still ordered the superior Me?"
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Yao jumped into his arms, and then violently broke his face with her hands, and her hands gently wrapped around his neck, so most of the people hung on Qian Heng's body Usually, forcing Qian Heng to face her squarely.
"Look into my eyes and tell me again why you came to the court." Cheng Yao's eyes were bright, and she looked at Qian Heng so firmly, not allowing him to escape, she just stepped on her feet gently in the posture of Qian Heng's arms, It came close to his ear, "I called it wrong, it's not the boss, it's my boyfriend."
Qian Heng only felt that the temperature of his ear surrounded by Cheng Yao's breath rose extremely fast, and it was so hot that it was about to burn.
The way Cheng Yao stared at him made him unable to refuse.
Under Cheng Yao's unyielding stare, Qian Heng finally turned his eyes sideways: "I worked overtime to deal with the case in City B urgently, and I rushed back on the plane at three o'clock in the morning. Before... I asked someone to inquire, and Deng Ming's case occupies I just heard that Deng Ming won the first trial, and I think you will need me at this time." Qian Heng's voice was serious, with a bit of deliberate calmness, but the slight concern in the ending could not help but reveal out.
Some love, even if you try to hold it back, you will still be discovered.
"I'm a lawyer. I'm very busy. Many times I can't give you the kind of love that other little girls want with a boyfriend all day. It may not be so romantic, but no matter how busy I am, as long as you may need I, I hope that I am here." Qian Heng's voice was a little unnaturally hoarse, this time, he finally turned his eyes back, and also looked at Cheng Yao, "This is your first independent management in the true sense. As a boss, I should let you do the case, but as a boyfriend, I want to be by your side."
This time, Qian Heng stretched out his hand and hugged Cheng Yao in his arms. He lowered his head and moved close to her face, with the tip of his nose close to hers: "Now I know why so many people who came here advised me not to start an office romance."
"Why?!" Cheng Yao couldn't help but widen her eyes, "Do you regret it?"
"No, I don't regret it." Qian Heng leaned down and kissed Cheng Yao's cheek, "I just discovered that an office romance really makes people unprofessional." His expression remained calm, but his ears started to Slightly flushed, "I thought I could do well at first, even if it was an office romance, public and private could be distinguished, but now I realize that I can't do it."
Cheng Yao's heart throbbed violently. She covered her chest, feeling that she needed to calm down, so she buried her face in Qian Heng's coat, but in this way, the smell of Qian Heng lingered on the tip of her nose. , it is a scent of sandalwood mixed with grass, faint, hazy like clouds, but just right, repelling people thousands of miles away, but with a kind of sexy that is out of reach, the top note is cedar-like cold Lie, but at the end of the cold, there is an indescribable tenderness in the back tune, which belongs only to Cheng Yao.
Cheng Yao smelled this smell, with the temperature of his body wrapped in Qian Heng's coat on her face, she felt that not only was she unable to calm down, but her heart was beating faster.
But the instigator didn't notice it at all, his voice was faint: "I'm sorry, I can't help it." Qian Heng's hand holding Cheng Yao slightly tightened, and his chin lightly pressed Cheng Yao's head, "Just look When it comes to you, it’s hard to think of separating your identity as a boss from your identity as a boyfriend.”
Cheng Yao burrowed into Qian Heng's coat again, and she smiled muffledly: "I have to return something to you. Qian Heng, I know that I am very attractive, and it is very hard to hold back. But please restrain yourself."
"..."
Qian Heng's face was sullen, a little unnatural: "If you don't like this, I can overcome it..."
"I like."
After Cheng Yao finished speaking, she maintained the posture of hanging Qian Heng's neck, and looked into his eyes: "I like everything you do for me."
Now, as expected, Qian Heng's other ear also started to turn red.
However, on the surface he still had the indifferent look that no one should enter, he cleared his throat: "If you want to kiss me..."
Cheng Yao didn't speak, but continued to look at him with wet eyes like a puppy.
This kind of look made Qian Heng unable to finish his words. He stopped, covered Cheng Yao's eyes with one hand, and then bent down.
Cheng Yao was covered by Qian Heng without warning, and then she heard his serious voice—
"Forget it, you look at me like this, just want me to kiss you, just to satisfy you."
Before Cheng Yao could react, Qian Heng's scent of cedar and sandalwood was close at hand, his moist and warm lips invaded, forcefully pried open Cheng Yao's lips, the darkness intensified the sensitivity of other senses Cheng Yao only felt that all the sensations in her body were concentrated on the lips that touched Qian Heng. The lips were hot, soft, and moist, full of the most primitive hormones.
No wonder it is always said that kissing is the touch of two souls at the tip of the tongue.
There is no need for any words, just such a passionate kiss, Cheng Yao already felt that she knew Qian Heng's impatience and restraint.
The marriage court was full of people who had marital problems and legal disputes. It seemed that the entire corridor was full of hostility, suspicion and resentment. There was even a man and a woman outside the court not far away who were fiercely accusing each other of arguing. Only Cheng Yao was in Qian Heng's arms, kissing each other.
