Chapter 303: Sending Wen Jian to Prison

o smoothly all the way. They arrived at a little past 5 am.On the road, he turned on his phone and saw over ten missed calls. They were all from his father, Xu's family, and Xiao Cai.Xiaocai sent him...The evidence comes from a comparison of two documents: Wen Jian's true operating data, which was obtained through new and innovative investigative methods, and the false data Wen Jian initially provided. This comparison leaves almost no room for doubt—Wen Jian intentionally committed fraud, both subjectively and objectively.

"Ms. Wen's fraudulent actions not only swindled us out of a huge sum of investment funds, but also inflicted immeasurable losses on our current acquisition."

With the amount of money defrauded from Citic Capital, Wen Jian should at least be sentenced to over 10 years in prison.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for Wen Jianfang's lawyer, Shu Tinglan, to speak.

She immediately refuted the opposing counsel's accusations, clearly and logically explaining her side.

“According to materials provided by our client Wen Jian, we see that Xinruiju and Hengsheng Capital are in a cooperative relationship. The investment amount provided by Hengsheng Capital was not transferred to Wen Jian's personal account, but to the public account of Xinruiju, to be used for acquisition purposes.” She paused slightly, then continued

“This is all the correspondence between both parties regarding this acquisition plan at the time, which proves that our party's subjective intention was not to illegally possess assets. According to Article 224 of China's Criminal Law, we can determine that our party did not commit fraud but rather an ordinary economic dispute.”

Of course, the opposing counsel also anticipated her defense would be based on economic disputes and immediately raised objections.

"Knowing that the emerging company was on the verge of bankruptcy and unable to fulfill its contractual obligations, they used fabricated data to deceive our investment. What else could this be called besides fraud"

"Shu Tinglan: 'Shixinruijue's operating conditions are well-known in the industry. Before deciding to invest, Hengsheng Capital sent professional auditors to conduct due diligence. Under these circumstances, we have reason to believe that Hengsheng Capital has a full understanding of Shixinruijue's current situation and acknowledges it before deciding to invest."

Hearing this from Shu Tinglan, Wen Jian on the defendant's stand quickly glanced at her, with a sense of foreboding.

In the audience, Lu Kuo and Zhuo Yu'an also suddenly realized what Shu Tinglan was doing. On the surface, she was trying to help Wen Jian defend himself, but in reality, by bringing in the auditors from Hengsheng Capital, she would inevitably implicate Wen Jian in a bribery case.

Hengsheng Capital's lawyer was also taken aback, wondering why the opposing counsel would suddenly engage in a suicidal defense. Hengsheng Capital wanted to protect Jiajia, so they didn't mention her review process, and they also anticipated that the Wenjian side was even less likely to bring it up.

Thus, if it can be proven that Wen Jian bribed the reviewers, then it can also indirectly prove that she initially had both the subjective and objective behavior of malicious fraud.

But the evidence of bribery, from Shu Tinglan's standpoint, she certainly couldn't provide it. She would still have to work in this industry afterwards and it was impossible for her to ruin her reputation. Her previous actions, at most, would be labeled as not professional enough and rigorous, with no major impact. However, if she directly provided evidence of Wen Jian's bribery, it would amount to violating the most basic professional ethics of a lawyer. No one would hire her as an agent in the future.

At that moment, a lawyer from Hengsheng Capital’s legal team suddenly stood up and, in full view of everyone, presented this piece of evidence. It was proof of communication between Wen Jian and Jia Jia, along with Jia Jia's signature.

After submitting the proof, the lawyer glanced at Lu Kuo in the spectator seats. Yes, it was Lu Kuo who bribed the lawyer of Hengsheng Capital.

He was holding the document, ready at a moment's notice.

The entire trial went in one direction, there was no turning back.

The first trial verdict came down quickly. Wen Jian was convicted of fraud and bribery, sentenced to ten years in prison. She appealed, of course, but that's a story for another time.

At this moment, in the courtroom, Shu Tinglan remained silent. She met Wen Jian's gaze for several minutes, and both their eyes were turbulent. This was the first time Wen Jian realized she had misjudged someone. Based on her understanding of Shu Tinglan, if she took on her case, she would definitely go all out. She never expected that Shu Tinglan would scheme for so long and give her such a hard blow.

Because she didn't know, she had stepped on Shu Tinglan's sore spot. No one could threaten her with the child.

On her way to Senzhou for a business trip this time, Shu Tinglan had already called Lawyer Sun. At that time, she had decided on the main loss, even if it meant jeopardizing her own career, she wanted to personally send Wen Jian to prison.

As Wen Jian was being led away, she sneered as she passed by.

“Tinglan, why bother What I said to you when I went to the city to find you was true.”

Shu Tinglan just watched her without speaking, seeing her being led away. There was no sense of revenge in his heart, because she was just protecting herself.

Zhuo Yu'an watched her smile from the spectator seats, approval shining in his eyes. Last night's encounter seemed to have drawn them closer, but Shu Tinglan avoided his gaze, gathered her materials and walked out of the courtroom alone.

When I came out, it was already dark.

Lu Kuo came up.

"Tinglan, let's eat together."

He has always been the one to do as he pleases, even automatically ignoring the awkward relationship between Shu Tinglan and Zhu Y uan right now. He wants to take everyone out for a meal together, and no one can refuse him.

Just like right now, Shu Tinglan doesn't want to

He said, “You wouldn’t be so petty, would you No matter what your relationship is with Zhuo Yuyan, at least we’re classmates and friends.”

"Let's go, let's go. Lu Yao yao is also back to filming today. She said she missed you a lot."

"A few of our high school classmates are also coming. Don't worry, it's not just him and Zhuo Yu An. If you don't want to talk to him, just ignore him."

Soft and hard tactics, pushing the person onto the car. Lu Kuo was best at this kind of thing, truly not something Shu Tinglan could avoid.

Look at the people in that room. Besides Lu YaoYao, there are some of her high school classmates and a few lawyer colleagues, making it quite lively. He's like a social butterfly, chatting happily with everyone. In his presence, everyone feels like the main character. So besides Lu YaoYao, no one pays much attention to Shu TingLan. After all, on the stage, Zhuo YuAn and Lu Kuo are more eye-catching than her.

Shu Tinglan sat beside Lu Yaoyao, listening to her talk about her experiences on the set. She wasn't very interested and felt a bit strange towards Lu Yaoyao, as they weren't particularly close before. Opposite them was Zhuo Yu'an, who remained silent. No one dared to speak to him unless spoken to first.

Anyway, quiet is quiet, and noisy is noisy.

Lu Yaoyao always felt guilty towards Shu Tinglan and Zhu Yu'an. It was she who had introduced Teacher Cheng to Shu Tinglan back then, so she couldn't help but feel a bit self-blaming. Seeing Shu Tinglan now, she became especially warm and friendly.

Chatting and drinking wine like soda, Shu Tinglan followed her suit, unknowingly downing quite a bit.

After everyone had finished their meal and dispersed, Zhuo Yu'an only then realized that she had drunk quite a bit. Since her tolerance was fairly good, she remained quiet after drinking. He occasionally glanced at her during the meal and saw that she seemed perfectly normal, listening attentively to Lu Yaoyao's conversation. Her face was just a little redder than usual.

Everyone had gone now, she was sitting there alone, clearly drunk, and even gave him a smile.er returning from the amusement park, he had another dream. But this dream was pure and beautiful. A girl in a school uniform kept smiling at him, with bright eyes and white teeth. They walked hand-in...
