Just when Ye Yingwen showed off her power in the court, forcing Ling Shanshan and her friends to retreat step by step, leaving no room for defense and about to be completely defeated, the wind direction outside changed.
Tian Diwen's father, Lao Tian, is in the hotel and supermarket business. He owns two star hotels and three super supermarkets and is worth nearly one billion.
But just this morning!
Oriental Group, the largest company in Hong Kong, suddenly announced an investment of 10 billion, opening identical stores next to Tianjia's three supermarkets and two star hotels to compete with each other, and announced a three-month opening bonus event. During the event, all merchandise Half price.
As soon as the news came out, the whole of Xiangjiang was in an uproar.
Everyone can see that the Eastern Group is going to kill the Bai family, without giving any face, and directly confronting them in all directions in the market.
And confrontation is only the first step!
At the same time that Dongfang Group announced its confrontation with Lao Bai's family, the Water Supplies Department and the power company announced at the same time that due to line problems that needed to be repaired, they would cut off power and water to Bai's hotels and supermarkets for a week. They were waiting to be notified when the water would be restored.
After the news came out, the first reaction was the stock market. Both large and small investors were selling the Bai family's stocks crazily. By the time the market closed, they had dropped by 70%. It can be said that the Bai family suffered heavy losses.
And this is just the beginning, the Eastern Bloc will continue to use its methods.
Facing the huge pressure, Lao Bai had a headache. He didn't understand why the Eastern Group wanted to deal with him, not to mention the commercial rivalry, but also to use its privileges.
Yes!
Access to the Water Supplies Department and Electricity Company is an absolute privilege.
Because water and power outages are a big killer, they will not be used unless absolutely necessary. Although the effect is very good, it can easily cause public outrage and make others hug each other for warmth.
Lao Bai knew that he was no match for the Eastern Group, so he quickly asked someone to make peace with him and at the same time asked someone to investigate the reason why the Eastern Group took action.
soon!
The people who were invited to make peace brought back what the Eastern Group meant - there will be no end to death unless Lao Bai's family goes bankrupt and his son goes to jail.
This makes Lao Bai very desperate!
He knew he was finished.
With the strength of the Eastern Group.
In three days at most, I will move from the villa to the slum.
Fortunately, the news came back through the middleman. Lao Bai knew that the root cause of the Eastern Group's sudden attack was on his son, and he quickly sent someone to investigate.
I hope I can find a reason so that the Eastern Group can be proud of me and let me go. I can't escape bankruptcy, but at least I can leave some pension money for myself.

"Did the guest that night appear in court? Was he the defendant Tian Diwen?"
"yes!"
"Then do you know the serious consequences of putting three psychedelics into a client's wine glass? Why do you want so many?" Ye Yingwen asked loudly.
"I!"
Ling Shanshan's friend lowered his head and said nothing.
This is also the characteristic of these bad boys and bad girls.
He can be provoked but cannot be sustained. He only knows how to fool around and never considers the seriousness of the matter.
"Before the incident, did you know the defendant?" After dealing with Ling Shanshan's friends, Ye Yingwen began to question Ling Shanshan again after Ling Shanshan went to court.
"We know you!" Ling Shanshan nodded as she glanced at Tian Diwen sitting on the trial bench.
"How do we know each other?" Ye Yingwen used words to lure Ling Shanshan into the trap step by step.
"He bullied my sister." Ling Shanshan pointed at Tian Diwen and said, not knowing it was a trick, she walked step by step into the trap set by Ye Yingwen.
"How did you bully me?" Ye Yingwen continued to ask.
"He fucked my sister." Ling Shanshan said loudly, her voice was very angry.
"You can't say xx!" Ye Yingwen picked up a piece of information and walked towards the jurors and said to the jurors, "According to the court records, the defendant was accused of xx Ling Zuer three months ago.
However, after the verdict, the charges were not established and all charges were dropped. They have nothing to do with this case at all. In order to give a fair verdict to the defendant, jurors please pay special attention.
So you can only say that defendant Tian Diwen had a relationship with your sister and you cannot say that you sexually assaulted her. "
After handing the information in his hand to his assistant, Ye Yingwen came to Ling Shanshan and asked, "Did you take the initiative to get into the defendant's car?"
"Yes!" Ling Shanshan admitted with her head lowered.
"The defendant raped your sister. You should hate him very much. The reason why you got into his car and started talking to him was because you wanted to blackmail him and take revenge on him. The two men in black who appeared that night were arranged by you."
Ye Yingwen said loudly.
"Your Honor!" The prosecution lawyer, who looked somewhat similar to Dillon, stood up. "I request an adjournment because there are important matters that need to be reported to the court."
"Important matter!" asked the judge.
"Yes!" The prosecution lawyer nodded.
"In this case, the court will rest for one hour and resume in one hour." John is a rare royal barrister in Hong Kong. The judge also wanted to give him face for his request, so he nodded and announced the adjournment.
"Lawyer John, do we still have hope for this lawsuit?" Seeing several witnesses being refuted by Ye Yingwen one by one, Fang Wei became a little anxious. He didn't want Tian Diwen, a bastard, to escape legal sanctions.
"We have no hope if we rely solely on arguments in court. There are too many loopholes that can be exploited in the case. Your girlfriend is particularly good at this, but outside the court."
John shrugged, no problem.
John and Barrister Lin are good friends in law.
The reason why he took this case when he was about to retire was because he knew that the case involved Lei Weidong.
Tian Diwen, that scumbag, would never have imagined that his sexual intercourse with a young model would be implicated in Lei Weidong. Not only would he be imprisoned for the rest of his life, but he would also be implicated in his family, forcing his parents, who were several decades old, to move from villas to slums. , whether he can survive depends on Lei Weidong's kindness.
"Uncle, why are you here? It's my nephew Tian Diwen who is worried. Don't worry, it's okay. I'm fully confident that I can help him get out of jail."
Because the court was adjourned, Ye Yingwen took her assistant to the lounge to rest. She saw Li Huaming waiting for her in the lounge. This made Ye Yingwen a little strange. Could it be that he didn't believe in his ability and wanted to come over and stare at her.
"Something has changed. One of my friends, Tian Diwen's father, is in trouble. He asked me to tell him that he could give up his defense against Tian Diwen."
Li Huaming said with a very ugly face.
"Give up defending Tian Diwen, why? Don't you have confidence in me?" Ye Yingwen was unhappy when she heard that she was going to lose. She was a barrister who had always won every battle.
As long as you take the lawsuit, you have to win. How can you give up for no reason? It will lose your own face.
"No, I, Lao Li, believe in your level, niece Shi, but something happened to Lao Tian's family, and the legal fees promised to you cannot be paid. If you win, you may be in big trouble."
Li Huaming shook his head and explained. "Old Tian's family is bankrupt."
"Bankrupt, no way. Uncle, you fooled me. The Lao Tian family is one of the richest people in Hong Kong. Although it is not as rich as a wealthy family, it is still worth hundreds of millions. It was fine yesterday. Why did it go bankrupt in one day?"
Ye Yingwen expressed disbelief in Li Huaming's words.
"It wouldn't happen under normal circumstances, but who made the Lao Tian family offend the Eastern Group and be confronted by the Eastern Group in all directions? Not only did the company's stock plummet, water and electricity were cut off, but even the banks came to press for debts. Now it's over."
Li Huaming also knew that Ye Yingwen didn't believe it. To be honest, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it. The Eastern Group was so cruel that it knocked down the Lao Tian family.
"Oriental Group, why did they take action?" Ye Yingwen also knew about Oriental Group. It was not only the first group in Hong Kong, but also a multinational super conglomerate with assets exceeding one trillion Hong Kong dollars.
Although the Lao Bai family is rich, it is far behind the Eastern Group, and next to it, it is even inferior to the Xiao Wu and the Xiao Wu among the big witches.
To put it bluntly, it would be as easy for the Eastern Group to kill Lao Bai's family as it would kill an ant on the roadside.
"Because of Ling Zuer!"
"Ling Zuer!" Ye Yingwen was even more confused. According to the files, the Ling sisters were both ordinary girls. The older sister was an ordinary model and the younger sister was a street girl. How could they be related to the Eastern Group.
"The Ling sisters are indeed common people, but they are relatives." Li Huaming sighed, "Lei Weidong, the head of the Eastern Group, and one of his wives, Wang Zhuxian, are distant relatives of the Ling sisters."
"The Ling sisters are distant relatives of Lei Weidong's wife Wang Zhuxian. That's right. I said that Ling Zuer looks a bit familiar. She is really similar to Wang Zhuxian."
Ye Yingwen also paid attention to the wedding of the century a few years ago.
Ye Yingwen was also a little envious of the girls inside. It was really better to marry well than to study well. Women who were not as good at studying as him all became billionaires and lived in manor-style villas just because they married Lei Weidong. Getting in and out of luxury cars is such a blessing.
"Just because Ling Zuer is a distant relative of Wang Zhuxian, Lei Weidong is going to destroy the Lao Bai family." Thinking of this, Ye Yingwen felt a little chilly in her heart. This is too scary. This is the power of the rich.
"Yes!" Li Huaming nodded and said.
"Tian Diwen has a wealthy father and has money to hire a lawyer to help him fight the lawsuit, so he is confident and fearless, but this time he mentioned the iron plate.
Lao Tian can use one million to help his son escape the crime.
Lei Weidong can spend 10 billion to vent his anger on his wife's relatives. It doesn't matter whether things are right or wrong, only based on strength.
It’s better for little shrimps like us to stay away, so as not to harm the fish in the pond. "
"It will bring disaster to Chiyu, uncle, what do you mean?"
"Why did the police from the West Kowloon Police Station arrive so quickly? Who are the two men in black who appeared at the scene? They obviously have something to do with Lei Weidong. The West Kowloon Police Station has been keeping an eye on Tian Diwen for a day or two."
Li Huaming continued, "John just asked for an adjournment. I suspect that it was Lei Weidong who took action. With the capabilities of the Eastern Group, he could investigate all the eighteen generations of Tian Diwen's ancestors.
You must pay attention when the court comes. Don't fight to the death. If we lose this case, we will lose. Don't offend Lei Weidong. "
"Don't worry, uncle, I will adapt to circumstances." Although he could not receive the final payment, Ye Yingwen did not lose much on the 500,000 yuan in legal fees paid in advance, which meant that he lost the lawsuit and his reputation was damaged.
But I can’t care anymore.
As one of the best barristers in Xiangjiang, Ye Yingwen knows how capable wealthy people like Lei Weidong are. To put it bluntly, the law serves them.
-----
"Prosecution lawyer, can you guarantee that the information provided is true?" Looking at the information provided by John's lawyer, the judge asked.
"Yes, your honor." John stood up and said in a positive tone, "It's twenty kilometers from the ballroom to the defendant's residence. The defendant was able to drive home quickly without any accidents. He was obviously sober.
However, he did drink alcohol laced with LSD, as several people could testify, and angel dust was found in the defendant's urine test.
According to reports, a normal person will lose 75% of their self-control after taking three 500mg pills of angel dust mixed with alcohol.
There is only one explanation, and that is that the defendant often takes hallucinogens such as angel dust and is highly resistant to them. For this reason, I hope the court will allow me to conduct an experiment. "
John took out the plastic bag containing the angel dust and said, “This is the angel dust that the defendant took. I ask your honor to allow the defendant to try the medicine if the defendant becomes confused after taking the medicine.
That means Ling Shanshan was responsible for all this, framed for her sister's affairs.
If the defendant is still conscious after taking the medicine, it means that the defendant has evil intentions towards Ling Shanshan. If it were not for the presence of outsiders at the scene, he would definitely rape Ling Shanshan. "
"This needs to be discussed. Give me two minutes." Trying hallucinogens in court is not a trivial matter. The judge did not dare to make the decision alone, so he discussed it with his assistant according to the process.
After a heated discussion, the judge returned to his seat and said in a solemn voice, "After discussion, this court agrees to the defendant's trial of drugs."
"Thank you, your honor." John nodded, poured three hallucinogens from the grog belt, poured the prepared beer, and asked his assistant to deliver it to Tian Diwen.
said:
"This glass of beer is exactly the same as the one the defendant drank on the day of the incident. If the defendant believes he is innocent, please drink it."
In front of the large audience, Tian Diwen did not dare to lie, so he could only pick up the wine glass and drink the beer inside.
After about two or three minutes, Tian Diwen began to become confused and was about to fall asleep while leaning on the dock.
"What are you pretending to be?"
Seeing Tian Diwen about to fall asleep, John stepped forward and slapped Tian Diwen, then turned around and pointed at Tian Diwen and said:
"Your Honor, the defendant is pretending that what he just took was not LSD, but the vitamins I prepared." As he spoke, John took out the green pills and drank them.
"I didn't. What I just took was hallucinogens, not vitamins. The hallucinogens and vitamins don't taste right. I can tell them apart." Seeing that John said he didn't take hallucinogens and was just pretending, Tian Diwen became anxious. , jumped up to refute.
"Why are you so energetic after taking psychedelic drugs?" Seeing Tian Diwen's energetic retort, John smiled, "Yes, what you just took was indeed psychedelic drugs, and the only reason why you are sober is because you are an addict. .
Your Honor, the information I just provided was provided by the West Kowloon Police Station. It contains conclusive evidence that Tian Diwen often takes psychedelic drugs and has strong drug resistance.
Moreover, he also has a strong sense of guilt. In the past five years, he has committed at least two dozen ** cases, but his family has money and he used the money for personal gain...
