Medalist Lawyer Heir
- Episode 40 -
Zheng Hao, that's all I can tell you.
So the culprit who injured my Dad was never found.
Who told you all this?
You don't need to mind that.
In the end, why were you and Zhong Ke Ming able to be released,
but my Dad's lawyer license was withdrawn?
Zheng Hao, if you really want to know the truth,
you'll need to find a very crucial piece of evidence.
- What evidence? - Diary.
Whose diary?
Zhong Ke Ming's diary.
if you want to find out what happened that year,
you must think of a way to get Zhong Ke Ming's diary.
Zhong Ke Ming's diary?
That's right.
Zhong Ke Ming really has a diary from that year? You're sure?
I'm sure. Tang Li Qun told me.
It wasn't Zheng Yi Jian's doing?
That's right.
Because Zheng Yi Jian wasn't able to get into the delivery room. Without someone's help,
he couldn't have gotten into the pregnant women's patient rooms.
He was Zheng Yi Jian's husband. He could use enter the patient rooms as the child's father.
You didn't understand what I meant. Even if he could get into the patient rooms,
the child he would be able to take would be you, He Ya Yin's child.
But he couldn't enter Xia Yun's patient room.
So, he must need an assistant.
Who's the assistant?
He Yu Qin.
I have already investigated. There were two nurses on duty that night.
He Yu Qin was one of them.
She has the time, as well as incentive to commit the crime.
What incentive?
He Yu Qin hates Zhong Ke Ming.
Because Zhong Ke Ming has abandoned her older sister, and Zheng Yi Jian
wants to punish Zhong Ke Ming, who betrayed him.
In this, they had a common goal.
That's not right.
What's not right?
If they both hated Zhong Ke Ming, they wouldn't have brought me into the Tang family.
I just think that me and Zheng Hao's swapping
has some other intention.
What intention?
What's unfortunate has happened in the end.
Today, at the Yu Fen Li relocation scene,
the relocation team forced into the appartments,
they have got into a fierce dispute with the local residences.
Zheng Yi Jian went forward to persuade them to stop. In the chaos,
he got put into critical condition after being hit by one of the relocation team members.
During the resistance, the angry mob has also injured numerous relocation team members.
In the end, it resulted in this significant assault crime.
Tang Ye New Town project became a huge risk.
I am also about to face a very disadvantageous criminal lawsuit.
Why do you want to investigate the relocation case?
It's been over 20 years.
Zheng Yi Jian has also died.
I want to find out the truth for Zheng Hao and also myself.
We want to know,
why Zheng Yi Jian had to swap us.
Zheng Yi Jian?
You two think that Zheng Yi Jian did it?
It was my Aunt...
It was Tang Li Qun who told Zheng Hao before she died.
Zheng Yi Jian swapped us because he hates Zhong Ke Ming.
He hates Zhong Ke Ming?
Do you not think so?
No. He wouldn't have.
On the world, Zheng Yi Jian is
the kindest person I've met.
He wouldn't do something like this, he's not that kind of person.
But...
Zheng Hao told me, the hatred came from the relocation case.
More accurately,
it originated from the assault case resulted from the relocation case.
How did Hao Hao know?
Xiao Ning,
I know that, in this assault case,
Zheng Yi Jian was wrongly accused. Everyone knows.
But, he has never told me.
More so, he has never allowed us to mention this issue to Hao Hao.
There was someone who betrayed him.
If the person who betrayed him wasn't Zhong Ke Ming, why did he have to swap the children?
The person who harmed him...
That person seems to haven't been found.
My career and prospects can't end.
Someone must take responsibility to clam down this severe assault case.
Zheng Yi Jian getting hurt and crippled
has shown that he is the main participant of the assault case.
Today, I am going to meet with Judge Qiao at the court.
To point out the criminal responsibility that Zheng Yi Jian should take,
to quickly settle this case.
Zhou Tong and I
both think that your younger sister, He Yu Qin, is the only insider.
Zheng Yi Jian has already passed away.
Aunt Yu Qing has the only trace.
She might know a lot about the truth.
But for her to be unwilling to tell it, I understand.
She must have her own worries.
Xiao Ning, you're a really understanding child.
Mom also wants to help you find the truth.
A few days ago, I was just organising Zheng Yi Jian's belongings.
I saw some documents, there was a work notebook and a diary.
Uncle Zheng has a diary?
Yes.
Brother Dai Bo.
What's wrong, Xiao Jing?
You asked me to come, yet you came late.
I am not late, I went to pick someone up just then.
- Who? - Come in!
Director Xue.
Hello, Lawyer Dai.
Lawyer Xue, take a seat.
Waiter, pour me two cups of water.
Thank you, thank you.
Lawyer Dai, we asked you to come today
to thoroughly discuss the court hearings.
Lawyer Xue.
Are you preparing to lead this case?
But will this case continue to be in session?
Yes. Why not?
Xiao Jing.
Your mother has already passed away.
Are you determined to continue with the lawsuit?
Before my Mom left, she reminded me multiple times,
she was the one who hired Director Xue.
This case is suing Xia Yun and your dad.
Are you determined that you want to sue your dad?
Xiao Jing.
Think about it, are you going to go against your father?
Yes.
Director Xue, Brother Zheng has found the diary.
Good. You've worked hard, you've worked hard.
Brother Dai Bo, you've come.
You're preparing to close up?
- Let me help you. - Okay.
Brother Dai Bo, are you unhappy?
Is it because of the Tang family's case?
Is it also because of Sister Tang Ning
and Zhong Ke Ming's awkward position?
But I am unafraid of being stuck between them.
I am also not afraid of being in an awkward position.
Wang Ke, do you know,
I have always wanted to be a successful lawyer,
a good lawyer.
Starting from when I entered university,
I have always worked hard towards this target.
But since Tang Ning's case has begun,
I realise, all of the knowledge I learned about law,
all of my lawyer skills
have been used against the people I love and closest to me.
I am very unhappy.
I feel very pained and difficult.
I feel sorry towards my conscience.
Do you still remember that day, I told you,
I really want to run a milk tea store like you.
A relaxed and simple life.
Brother Dai Bo,
do you still remember since you've started being a lawyer,
how many people you've helped?
If it wasn't because you helped me,
I might not know I truly am right now.
So, in this world,
there are a lot of regular people like me,
they especially need lawyers like you,
who protect them truly from the perspective of law.
So your profession is to be especially respected.
It is also especially meaningful.
You must be confident in yourself.

- Hello? - Hello, Director Xue.
I've found something very odd. I have read all of the diaries.
There is one each year, only the two diaries from 1987 and 1988 are gone.
Impossible. Have you searched thoroughly?
I have searched really thoroughly.
For a person who had a habit of writing diaries every year,
it's impossible for him to not have diaries for only these two years.
You and Zheng Hao should search for it again.
Okay.
Zheng Hao, two of your father's diaries are missing.
One is from 1987, one is from 1988. Can you search your home for them again?
Don't you feel this is a bit strange?
What's wrong?
My younger codisciple has a small quirk. Whether it is for a big or small case, as long as he is in court,
he will become very nervous. But look at him now,
not only is he not nervous, he is also smiling brightly.
- The court is now in session. - Your Honor.
My party has received a notification, that Plaintiff's party has changed their Representative Attorney.
I would like to know, why the original attorney couldn't come.
Your Honor, according to my country's law, the plaintiff's party has the right to change their representative.
Also, when this right has been exercised, no explanation is required.
About why Lawyer Zheng Hao is unable to attend...
...this question is unrelated to this case.
Your Honor.
My party believes that this case has no further need to litigate.
Attorney Dai, what basis do you have to say this?
This case's plaintiff was Tang Li Qun.
But Miss Tang Li Qun has already passed away last month.
Without the plaintiff, how could this case continue?
Your Honor, we oppose to this kind of wording. [Witness]
There are two plaintiffs in this case, Tang Li Qun and Tang Jing.
Although Tang Li Qun has passed away, Tang Jing is still here.
As Tang Jing is one of the plaintiffs, this case should litigate until the end.
Your Honor, as the Defendant, I think that this inheritance case
should be litigated by Tang Ji Ye's family.
Tang Jing and Tang Yi Je have no direct relations, she can't be the plaintiff.
But Tang Jing can't be denied as one of the plaintiffs.
Attorney Tang, don't forget,
Tang Jing only became one of the plaintiffs
was because her mother secretly transferred her shares to her,
allowing her to become a stakeholder.
Even if that was the case, I am still a stakeholder.
Why can't I be the plaintiff?
The problem is, the shares that your mother secretly transferred to you
are wealth that belongs to both of us.
Without my agreement, she can't transfer them.
The shares transfer has already been stopped at the last moment.
So, you are not any kind of stakeholder. More so, you're unrelated to this case.
Also, since you're my daughter, Tang Ning, you should withdraw from this case.
You can't be up against me.
You...you and I still haven't done a parent-child identification test.
Plaintiff's Representative, do you have any other questions?
Your Honor.
We request to summon a new witness to the court.
After this session, I will need to withdraw from this case.
Why?
I'm afraid that we will lose this way.
Zheng Hao, it looks like you need to attend court.
You want me to attend court?
Look, if you don't attend, Zhong Ke Ming will definitely think that it is a certain win for him.
But, once you appear in court,
he will definitely become thrown off.
Your Honor.
Our witness has arrived.
Your Honor.
I believe Zheng Hao is unsuited to be a witness in this case
because he was once the plaintiff's representative. His testimony is biased.
Your Honor, even if Zheng Hao is unable to be a witness, he can still participate in this litigation.
- He doesn't have the qualifications. - He does have the qualifications because he is a crucial stakeholder.
He is not a crucial stakeholder.
Your Honor.
I am a stakeholder in this case.
Because...
...I am Tang Ji Ye's son.
How unreasonable.
Once Tang Li Qun left, Zheng Hao appears.
But, it's still good.
At least we still won Tang Li Qun and Tang Jing's case.
If Zheng Hao wants to interfere now, he will have to start it up again
and report a new case.
The crucial part still depends on Xia Yun.
Don't let them get in touch with Xia Yun.
So that Zheng Hao can't find any evidence.
Yes, I understand.
Why aren't you saying anything?
I am thinking...
Thinking about what?
I am thinking if I want to sue.
You've said what you needed to say in court yesterday.
Everyone in Shanghai now knows you're Tang Ji Ye's son. How can you not sue?
Essentially, there are two difficulties with suing.
Who I am going to sue is my Mom, Xia Yun.
Firstly, where is she now? Where should I send the suing letter to?
Secondly, how can I prove that I am Tang Ji Ye's son?
What if she won't cooperate?
Hey, judge. What should we do next?
Why aren't you speaking?
Actually, the solution that I am thinking, you guys would have thought about it already.
To test Xia Yun and my DNA?
Yes.
If the results of testing your DNA with Xia Yun
were 99.9% certain,
then Zhong Ke Ming will not be able to overthrow scientific evidence.
I have already discussed this with Zheng Hao.
But Xia Yun keeps hiding from us. We can't find her.

Xia Yun's current address: Hong Qiao Road, 1808 Alley, Number 3, Room 506
Zheng Hao, we now have Xia Yun's address.
You know Xia Yun's address? How did you find it?
Someone sent it. They left it on our doorstep.
Who was it?
I don't know.
I think there is only one person.
Brother Bo.
That's right. Dai Bo.

You have found Xia Yun?
Then I think she would do the parent-child identification test.
Has she agreed to attend court to testify for us?
We still don't know yet. Zheng Hao has gone to talk with her.
Tang Ning,
- there is something I want to ask you. - What is it?
If say, we reconcile with Xia Yun, Zhong Ke Ming might possibly lose this case.
You won't regret it?
Taking a case and being a person is the same, right must be separated from wrong.
Since Zheng Hao is Tang Ji Ye's son,
Tang Ye Corporation's shares should return to the rightful owner.
Yeah, that is what it is.
But, Zhong Ke Ming doesn't think so.
He thinks that Tang Ye Corporation was an empire he conquered alone.
Me, Zheng Hao and him are new enemies because of an old grudge.
You are his biological daughter.
What are you trying to say?
I want to say that, I should lead in this case.
You should maintain silence and separate yourself from this.
Zheng Hao asked you to come persuade me, right?
That means, you should be my son.
I should be.
But the court requires real evidence.
If we really need to do a parent-child identification test,
would you be willing to?
Which mother wouldn't be willing to recognize their son?
I am willing to.
[Resigning letter]
Come in.
Director Zhong? Director Zhong.
If you had an issue, you could have just told me so I could go to you.
Zheng Hao has litigated.
Yes.
We have also just received a notification from the court yesterday.
I originally wanted to tell you.
The court has acted quite quickly.
Director Zhong.
As things have progressed to today's stage, I must admit to you,
I was the one who told Zheng Hao and Tang Ning Xia Yun's new address.
That's why the court was able to
send the litigation letter to Xia Yun so quickly.
I have defied my own principles,
I have also defied the principles of being a lawyer.
That is, I wasn't able to protect your benefits properly.
Instead, I betrayed you.
You betrayed the litigator. You need to take responsibility, do you know?
Your lawyer's license will be withdrawn!
I know.
That's why,
I will resign.
I won't be a lawyer anymore.
I will also not continue with this lawsuit anymore.
I am apologetic to you.
This is already an issue about whether you are apologetic or not.
I know,
that you returned to my side because of Tang Ning.
Tang Ning, Zheng Hao and you
has probably already discussed numerous times,
to see how you could defeat me. You think that just by finding Xia Yun,
to have Xia Yun and Zheng Hao
do the parent-child identification test,
that I would definitely lose this lawsuit.
But, I am not working as a lawyer on my first day.
I actually really want to, against Tang Ning and Zheng Hao
and my younger codisciple, Xue Han Zhi,
thoroughly talk about this case in court.
Don't forget, as lawyers, we all understand,
before the last moment when the court sentences,
who wins or who loses is still undetermined.
Dai Bo,
I hope that you could stay by my side
to see how I will win this lawsuit.
Your Honor, we request to bring Miss Xia Yun into court as a witness.
Your Honor, my party opposes this request.
What's the reason?
Because Xia Yun is my litigant, she is the Defendant, she shouldn't be a witness.
This case's defendant is not sitting on the defendant's seat,
yet she wants to be the Plaintiff's witness?
Please state the reason.
Certainly. This case is a bit unusual.
As the Defendant, Miss Xia Yun
is unwilling to attend court due to an unknown reason.
Your Honor, since this case has a vital truth
that must be proven by Miss Xia Yun herself, this is the thirteenth evidence that my party has provided,
issued by the Shanghai City Genetics Testing Centre, Zheng Hao and Xia Yun's
parent-child identification report stating their parent and child relationship.
Your Honor.
This kind of privately commissioned report can't be used as effective evidence in court.
Your Honor.
We can request the court to let Zheng Hao and Miss Xia Yun
redo a judicially commissioned parent-child identification test.
This are words said to save yourself.
The Plaintiff's party does not have enough evidence to support what he said.
Your Honor.
My party has an even more effective piece of evidence than the identification report.
- Please present it. - My Mother, witness Xia Yun.
I have already said,
Xia Yun is my litigant, she is the Defendant. She can't be the witness.
Your Honor.
I believe that being a litigant and Defendant is not a conflict.
Since my country's new civilian litigation law states clearly, that litigants are also witnesses.
But, litigants are also the insiders that knows most about the case.
In other words, they are also important witnesses.
In American Civil Court,
defendants and plaintiffs will become the main witnesses
to be questioned by the opposite party's attorney.
Also, the results of the questioning
have often been the determinator of how the case will be sentenced.
Your Honor,
we are currently in a Chinese court, not an American court.
We are not using American civilian litigation laws.
So, whether Xia Yun can attend court as a witness depends on China's civilian litigation laws.
China's civilian litigation laws, Article 138, states that,
"Court investigations will be carried out in the following order.
"One, litigant's statements.
There is a difference between a litigant and a defendant.
So, Xia Yun can't attend court as witness.
If Tang Ning wants to use America's civilian litigation laws,
you can take lawsuit cases in America.
Your Honor.
We only need Xia Yun to attend court to tell the truth.

Is there an issue for you to come find me?
You and Zheng Hao did a parent-child identification test.
You have infringed on our agreement.
I didn't.
I told Zheng Hao, the parent-child identification test
is only to recognizing the mother and son relations, not for the lawsuit.
Not for the lawsuit?
Are you being innocent or are you pretending to be an idiot?
Xue Han Zhi has already handed this thing to the court. You're saying it's not for the lawsuit?
You have always told me,
that my child is gone, it was a stillborn. But he is here.
He is still alive.
Zheng Hao is my son.
What? I can't acknowledge my own son?
Did I say you can't acknowledge your son?
I said it before, I'll repeat it.
The problem is not the son, it's the agreement!
Then what about the case of Zheng Hao suing me?
No way. I must still attend court.
I must confirm me and Zheng Hao's mother and son relationship in court.
