Chapter 249: Court Appearance

How could there be such a good man He not only fully supports your career but also takes care of everything behind you, allowing you to have no worries. Lawyer Shu is truly happy. 。These days, while they're out gathering evidence or back at the hotel working, Mr. Yi keeps the two little ones company and entertains them at the hotel. 。To keep the children from getting bored, Mr. Yi even personally paid to switch them to a children's themed hotel. Although it was very different from their usual work atmosphere, Xiao Xin, who still had a childlike heart, liked it very much. Most importantly, the children loved it. They could have lots of fun in the hotel without leaving, and it was also safe, so Lawyer Shu felt reassured. 。And Wu Dezhong's case also went to court as scheduled. 。Although Shu Tinglan had made thorough preparations, he was still somewhat nervous, especially after learning that the lawyer hired by the game company was Lawyer Xu from Hongzheng Law Firm. 。Although she was also at Hongzheng Law Firm back then, because she worked in mergers and acquisitions, she only knew about Lawyer Xu by name, not personally. They had no interaction whatsoever. All she knew was that he was very capable. 。During the trial, the spectator seats were packed with people from the gaming company. It seemed like they had called almost everyone in the company to show their support, while Wu Dezhong only had his wife present in the audience. 。His wife looked haggard, as if she had no confidence in winning this case. Only Wu Dezhong glanced at Shu Tinglan, his eyes showing both help and encouragement. Shu Tinglan nodded in response. 。Lawyer Xu from the game company came straight in with aggressive questioning: “Did Wu Dezhong subcontract the construction of the game company to Ye Feng Company, which lacked construction qualifications”

"Did Wu Dezhong claim that the construction progress had reached 60% when it was only 20%, and then received 2.5 million yuan in construction funds"

“After receiving the 2.5 million yuan, did Wu Dezhong refuse to continue construction Did he withdraw all construction workers and fail to fulfill his contractual obligations to this day Did he also refuse to return the 2.5 million yuan in construction funds and the 300,000 yuan in design fees”

These three questions are objective facts, and the first-instance judgment was based on these points. 。The scene was eerily quiet. Faced with the evidence, any further appeals were pointless. Wu Dezhong was undoubtedly a fraudster. 。Xiaoxin felt a twinge of sympathy for Lawyer Shu, fearing he wouldn't do well in the argument. 。

Mr. Shu calmly stood up and answered each of the opposing lawyer's questions one by one. 。"While Hongfeng Decoration, where Wu Dezhong works, did subcontract some construction work to Yefeng Company, which lacked the necessary qualifications, the game company was aware of and approved this." 。At the start of the project, when the first payment of 900,000 was made, 300,000 went directly to Yefeng Company from the game company. This proves that the game company was aware and did not hide anything. 。This is the payment receipt from that time. 。Regarding the construction progress, I hired a professional inspection agency to assess the site. According to their report, 70% of the work was completed when Hongfeng Decoration stopped working. 。Third, regarding the destination of the engineering funds, the game company successively transferred 300,000 yuan in design fees and 2.5 million yuan in construction fees, totaling 2.8 million yuan, to Wu Dezhong's personal account. However, this does not mean that Wu Dezhong embezzled this money. 。At that time, to evade taxes, the finance department of Hongfeng Decoration wrote a letter of entrustment for payment and entrusted Wu Dezhong with receiving the payment. However, after receiving the payment, Wu Dezhong immediately transferred it to the private account of the boss of Hongfeng Decoration. During the entire project of the game company, Wu Dezhong, as the design director of Hongfeng Decoration, only earned a reasonable design fee. 。。The 2.8 million yuan received by Wu Dezhong before and after, has also been paid in full to the boss of Hongfeng Decoration, which is enough to prove that Wu Dezhong has no subjective or objective basis for fraud. 。Therefore, we request the acquittal of Wu Dezhong. 。Shu Tinglan now has a calm and serious demeanor. When arguing, her words are clear and confident, and all her viewpoints and claims are supported by strong evidence. 。

What the opposing lawyer hadn't anticipated was that she would focus on the core of the case, a very clever way to remove Wu Dezhong from it completely. 。Actually, the real owner of Hongfeng Decoration, and the one who is publicly promoted as the owner, is Wu Dezhong. However, when the company was registered, a relative from his family was hired as the legal representative of the company. This is a common practice among many business owners to mitigate risk. 。This is also where game companies get things mixed up. 。So, in the end, Wu Dezhong was of course found innocent and released in court. 。As for Hongfeng Decoration and Design Company, it should continue to fulfill the previous contract. If it chooses not to, any disputes arising from this will be considered civil disputes and will not involve criminal fraud. 。This case, originally seemed like Wu Dezhong was a fraud, a sure thing. But who knew there could be such a dramatic turn of events. 。Of course, Mr. and Mrs. Wu Dezhong are naturally very grateful to her. 。Shu Tinglan didn't say anything, this was her job responsibility, to do her best. 。

The case was over, and by the time they got back to the hotel, it was evening. Yi Muyang was happier about her victory than she was, shouting that they had to have a big celebratory dinner. 。Xiao Xin naturally agreed with both hands, Kamosu had been on a business trip for so long, she had been ordering takeout all the time, her stomach was about to grow grass. 。Shutinglan also agreed, after all, Yimu Yang helped her bring her children to Senzhou to accompany her. She had always wanted to thank him properly. 。Yi Muyang booked the restaurant. He wasn't familiar with Senzhou, so he chose based on online reviews. He picked the highest-rated and most expensive option. 。Although he always talks about saving money, he is incredibly generous with Shu Tinglan and the two children. He buys them the best of everything, whether it's food, clothes, or anything else they need. 。So Shu Tinglan really wanted to discuss with him what he meant by "saving money". 。Shu Tinglan was having dinner at a restaurant when she suddenly received a call from an unknown number. The phone number displayed was from Senzhou City. 。She had just gotten a new number, so none of her old friends would have it. She wondered if it might be Wu Dezhong calling and picked up. 。

Just said a feeding word, and the familiar voice came over. 。"Tinglan, I'm Zhou Ming. Xu Lu told me you came to Senzhou""Teacher Zhou" Shu Tinglan's eyes instantly became a little blurry. 。I just ran into Xu Lü, he said he saw you in court today. 。”ources, administration, finance, and technology. 。There is a direct staircase leading to the 20th floor inside.
