Medalist Lawyer Heirs
Episode 8
Our father continued to live for us.
How could we so heartlessly hurt one another
just over a few material things?
And so easily betray our father's love.
So I have decided.
I won't fight with you.
Whatever you want,
you can take it.
Brother, whatever you desire,
I will give you.
Your Honor,
the Defendant has already proposed that he give up his rights to the house.
Everyone heard it and the clerk has already recorded it.
I represent the Plaintiff in accepting the Defendant's proposal.
Lawyer Liang!
Lawyer Liang doesn't need to be so impatient.
Let's say that my client abandons the will.
The property rights still need to be decided in court.
Even if we don't consider He Ya Yin, these two brothers should each get half.
I don't want even a square meter of this house.
Zheng Hao,
there are no jokes in the courtroom.
Have you really decided?
I believe a lot of people,
including my lawyer,
won't understand why
I am willing to give up everything.
What did I fight for?
I can tell everyone.
What I fought for wasn't the house,
nor the inheritance,
but my father.
My father was right.
Assets are temporary, but familial love
is forever.
So starting today, I won't allow anyone to say
that I, Zheng Hao, am not Zheng Yi Jian's son.
No matter what...
I am always
his son.
I just wanted this much.

The case having the result that it did today really wasn't easy.
Zheng Ming, were you aware
your father didn't have you in the will.
He gave the entire house to Zheng Hao.
So when we take on a case like this the first thing we need to do is find evidence
and gather information.
Brother,
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have fought with you.
How about this, the house is half for each of us.
Having you as a brother is worth it.
I don't care about the house.
I have father.
In the future, I will work hard to earn money and buy a bigger and better house.
If you give me the house, where will you live?
I have a place. Don't worry about me.
But give me three days.
Also, my father left me some things...
the Lady statue, some manuscripts from the course of his life,
some books, please hold on to them for me. Take care of them.
When I have time in the future, I want to retrieve them.
Don't worry.
Of course, I will look after Dad's stuff for you.
Whenever you want to take it, then come.
Master!
Hey!
What to do? You're homeless.
Do you not have any compassion?
Come live with me. My house is so big.
If you come over, I will have a companion.
I was worrying that you wouldn't ask.
Let's go.
Zheng Hao.
Hello, Zheng Hao?
How's the packing going?
It's messy here. It'll be a while.
Tomorrow, I'm out on a business trip.
If you want me to help move, today's it.
I'm coming over now.
I packed up your books by categories.
Thank you.
When I came last time, I didn't pay too much attention to this statue.
It is very delicate.
Look at the dog's hair. It looks so distinct.
Don't touch it.
This is a family heirloom that my father left me.
From Europe!
From Europe?
Then it might be an antique.
If that is the case, then who cares about the house.
Everything is money to you.
This statue of the Lady Justice has a soul and a story.
Do you understand?
Want to test me?
What is this?
This is the Lady Justice's famous blindfold.
It is said that it represents impartiality, and the ideal that justice should not be affected by the outside world.
What about the toga she is wearing?
The toga was originally white.
It represents the purity of the court, principled and impermeable to flattery.
What about the scales?
The scales represent fairness, of course.
Under the law, everyone is equal.
Why is there a snake and a dog on the Lady Justice's feet?
The snake and dog represent hatred and friendship.
It means, in front of Lady Justice,
it doesn't matter if there is hatred (enemy) or friendship (friend), all feelings will be set aside,
to make the most fair judgement.
Not bad.
What about the skull?
The skull is a type of warning to the public.
It tells us that life is fragile and short.
The conflicts between men are as short as their lives.
But justice is the opposite. Only justice is eternal.
Zheng Hao, It's Dai Bo. Open the door.
Coming.

Stop worrying. If nothing works,
I will fly to Hong Kong. I don't believe that Xia Yun won't return with me.
Qun, you should go home and get some rest. Don't worry.
What do you mean?
Why are you kicking me out? Is it because you have an important meeting tonight?
I am concerned about you and you're becoming suspicious of me?
Alright, I appreciate your concern.
Something big happened.
What are you so nervous about? New case?
Not a new case, an old case.
Go see Lu Jin Ming if it is an old case.
I already did. He made it clear that it has nothing to do with him. He said we made a mistake.
Director Xue is very angry.
- What is the case? - Li Xiao Di's case.
It's the case that I went with you to do the lawyer witness case.
Li Xiao Di passed away last Saturday.
He died?
So sudden?
Well, he died... So just follow the will.
But right now the will can't be carried out.
Why not?
The original beneficiary from the old will is also his girlfriend.
She's suing, saying the new will is void.
How can it be void?
That is Li Xiao Di's last will when he was still alive. Plus, there were lawyers that witnessed it at the time.
The problem is the lawyers that witnessed it.
Her lawyer is Liang Yu.
He's accused us of not following the rules.
Because the will requires two lawyers as witnesses.
I'm not a licensed lawyer. I am sorry.
You do not have a lawyer license!
I haven't passed my exam yet. I didn't know the rule was like that here.
Ridiculous! So ridiculous!
Lu Jin Ming already told me. You two don't need to explain much more.
You have been a lawyer for so many years now.
How can you make such a basic mistake?
Director Xue, I think this is all Tang Ning's fault.
I was working on a million dollar case, so I couldn't go.
Tang Ning pestered Lawyer Zheng and insisted on going with him.
You asked me to deal with it that day.
So I figured Lawyer Zheng was in a hurry
and he couldn't miss this.
Tang Ning,
you are a new employee and you're already causing trouble.
I am sorry, Director Zue. I am responsible for this.
Boss Zue, this is not Tang Ning's fault.
It was I who wanted to drag her into this.
It was my carelessness. This is my mistake.
Fine.
If you say it is your mistake, then you need to take responsibility.
This problem stems from me, how can you make him responsible?
Go. Clean up this mess.
No problem.
I will definitely fix this problem, or else...
you can fire me.
Whether or not I fire you, we'll discuss that later.
I am going to take one month's pay from your bonus! We will see how you behave in the future.
- Go! - Yes.
It's been two days already.
You have nothing to say?
What are you doing every day?
You lawyers are just great!
Quick to take the money.
So! You are afraid now that problems happen?
My father making a will was a big deal.
Giving it to you meant we trusted you.
As for you, you sent a fake lawyer to me.
Now what? You are trying to hurt me, aren't you.
Miss Li, you shouldn't put it like that.
Didn't we send Lawyer Zheng over?
What about her?
An assistant intern, right?
If she is not a fake lawyer, what is she?
Are you having a buy one lawyer, get one free sale?
So the free gift has to be a fake and bad quality, doesn't it.
Miss Li, please don't worry.
Please don't insult people by making rude remarks.
We will give you a solution.
How are you going to do that?
How much do you two make a year?
A solution! The damage and loss I have gotten from this...
would you be able to repay it?
Hey!
Why did you take such a long time to come back? I called you several times but you didn't answer your phone.
I went to a meeting.
Li Dan came and made a fuss again this morning.
She asked for compensation. So I told her that we will compensate her however much she wants.
She wanted us to compensate her? Did you do it?
Is she crazy?
Zheng Hao, Zheng Hao, Zheng Hao!
You're back.
- Hurry and go to Li Dan's house. - What for?
I am telling you something bad is happening! If you don't go to her father's house right now, she is going to burn it down!
Go now!
Okay.
Hey, it's faster to take my car.
Lu Jin Ming, park my bike for me.
I...
- Li Dan! - Li Dan!
Li Dan! Calm down. Let's talk.
How can I calm down?
This house belongs to my Dad.
The money also belongs to my Dad. Why should I give it to Zhang Yi Ling?
I will burn everything.
I will definitely not give it to her.
I have been running around the past few days.
We have been to the Lawyer Association and the Justice Department. It isn't as bad as you think.
Don't lie to me.
I don't want to listen to your nonsense.
Don't do something stupid.
Li Dan!
Looks like it didn't ignite.
This is water?
What are you doing, Li Dan?
If I didn't do this, would you guys still have come?
Listen to me Zheng Hao. Don't you hide from me.
If you are not going to get my inheritance back,
will you believe that I will really ignite it? No one will be able to have any good life.
Stay calm.
I really went to a lot of places for the past two days.
Let's sit down and talk.
You have to believe us. We weren't hiding from you.
We have been trying to find a way.
But Zhang Yi Ling's lawyer told me
that my copy of the will is void.
Don't listen to him. He is just scaring you. We have already looked into this.
That will is valid, for sure.
But...
he said he already filed the lawsuit in court.
Then that's good.
If the will was voided
then why would she sue you?
Right now there is an even bigger problem...
Zhang Yi Ling has withdrawn all the money from my Dad's account.
Do you know where your Dad has his account?
In the last few years, my Dad was bewitched by Zhang Yi Ling.
Zhang Yi Ling has all the accounts and passwords.
Now she has taken the money as well.
Even if we won the case
it would still be meaningless.
Give me some time. I will think of a way.
You have to help me.
Would the will really be valid even if I am a witness and not a licensed lawyer?
Of course.
Why?
You'll know in court.
But right now what I'm most worried about is how to find out where Li Xiao Di's
money is.
Can't we have the court investigate that?
Do you think the Court is a god?
How would it know where he hid his assets?
It is easy to find immoveable property but what about moveable property?
Then... as to the bank account Li Dan was talking about,
can it be found?
So we need to find the transfer receipt.
I'll leave it in your hands. Two days.
- Me, again? - Then should I do it ?
Fine, since you saved me back there.
It was nothing. It's not like it was really gasoline.
Hey, if it really was gasoline, you would have been disfigured.
Hey, guess who I saw today.
Zhong Ke Ming. Big Lawyer Zhong. He said he can help me find my mom.
Him?
Turns out, he not only knew my father,
he also knew my mother.
Jing!
- Wow! You are drinking sweet liquor in the morning?- Yes!
What is it that you want to see me about?
You first have to answer me.
Answer you what? You haven't even said what it is.
- You have to answer me? - You can! You certainly can answer me!
That day when you went to drink with that handsome man...
What is his name? What does he do? What is his number and what is his WeChat number?
What company? Quick, tell me!
Jing, could you have a little more self-respect?
You are now in your twenties.
Can't you be a good and obedient
- noble lady? - Oh, my god!
Don't talk like that. That is not relevant.
Tell me right now. He likes to come to this bar.
But I've been here for a good few days and I still haven't seen him.
Brother Bo, please tell me. You can't let your sister
keep experiencing the pain of lovesickness. I have never missed someone so much.
Alright, alright, okay.
- I can tell you. - Really?
I can tell you who he is, but I cannot guarantee that he has time to accompany you.
He is a lawyer, like me, working on an important case.
What kind of case? Is it fun? How can I help?
If I can help him out, maybe he will fall in love with me.
Well, I don't know if he would fall in love with you.
But I know that you definitely can't help with the case.
Why not? I bet I can.
A lady of noble background, that's who I am.
Hurry and tell me.
Sure.
His name is Zheng Hao.
- You're up? - Brother Bo, morning.
Breakfast is ready.
So nice.
Hello?
I am Tang Jing. We met at the bar. Tang Jing.
It's you. How did you get my number?
Not only did I find your number, I also figured out what you do for a living.
Hey...
Hey, young sister, older brother has been busy recently.
So be a good girl and study. Respect your parents, okay? Bye.
I am not here to talk to you about this. I know Zhang Yi Ling.
And I know Zhang Yi Mo!
No, I am talking for real. The 'Zhang Yi Ling' in your case.
Hey, hey, hey.
Jing, good morning. Where are you?
Huh, want to see me?
Yes, I'm looking for you. Where are you?
You want to see me?
That's fine. I'll give you a chance. Open the door.
Open what door?
The door to Dai Bo's house.
Timing and subtitles brought to you by the Gone With The Shirt Team @ Viki
Hey, how did you know I live here?
- Hey, I'm talking to you! - Brother Dai Bo!
Brother Dai Bo! Did you make it?
- Eggs. - Do you want some?
You both know each other?
My brother.
Your brother?
When did you get a sister?
Did you eat breakfast yet? If not, sit and let's eat together.
I'll pass. I have something important to tell him.
Eat on your own.
You... come here.
My sister is not to be trifled with. She does whatever she likes at my place.
- She does whatever she wants? - Be careful!
Aren't you going to go!
Hey, sit here.
Come here.
Why are you staying so far from me?
I am used to sitting here.
- So are you close to this Zhang Yi Ling? - Don't move!
- That pose. Hold it. - What's wrong?
That's it.
Wow!
- Oh, so handsome! - Don't take pictures.
Don't move! Smile and let's take another one.
Ah, don't take pictures.
Don't take pictures! What is there to take a picture of?
No, why are you so anxious?
I haven't seen you for so long. Let me look at you.
No, little sister, I really am busy.
Please tell me what you know about Zhang Yi Ling, okay?
No.
For your sake, I have looked into her Weibo and all other social media accounts.
I have read all of them.
Your attitude towards me is not very friendly.
So if you do not want to hear it, I am going to leave then.
Wait! Wait!
Calm down, calm down.
We're friends,
so we need to be friendly. I am very friendly, so speak.
Okay.
She is someone who likes to show off her money.
She kept saying, "I have several million dollars in my bank account!
My husband gave it to me!“
What do you mean her husband gave it to her? She used some tricks to get it.
I know that. I saw her putting up a message the other day that said...
No one can take away her money.
She said, "I have a lawyer!"
And it was the lawyer who helped her open the bank account.
The security level is very high.
Did she say which bank her account was at?
That she didn't say. Is it important?
Extremely important!
Lawyer Liang.
Excuse me for making you wait. Something came up.
I am Yi Ling's friend.
- Tang Jing. - Right, right.
- Beautiful woman. -No, no.
You are also a lady from a wealthy family.
I have heard from Yi LIng that you want to manage your money in a bank.
- Yes. Yes.- You don't know which bank offers good products
and you want me to give you some advice.
Yes. I am someone who is too lazy to use my brain.
I bought this bar.
It is just for fun. I have lost some money.
My Dad mentioned he wanted to buy me a yacht the other day.
I figure I won't be using the yacht too much.
So... I might as well use it to invest.
Investment money. Maybe I can profit even more.
What a good idea. That is wealthy money, for sure.
Choosing a bank to invest is a good idea.
- Isn't it? - As long as you pick the right team and follow the right plan,
you don't need to use too much brain power. You can only make money and won't lose any at all.
Really? I am really bad with money.
I invested the money to test.
I figure I have lots of money.
But... I don't know what kind of bank you are talking about. Is it reliable?
It is reliable, for sure.
- Do you know Jin Hai Bank? - I do.
I will tell you a secret.
My older brother is the Bank President of Jin Hai bank.
- Really? - A big client like you.
At his bank, you'll definitely be a VIP.
I am managing your good friend Yi Ling's money at that bank.
- Understand? -Yes, yes!
So...
I will tell my big brother and put an investment packet together for you.
I guarantee that you'll be satisfied.
That is a deal then. You are great, Mister.
Waiter, wine, please!
- The most expensive, my treat. - No, no, no!
In the daytime, let's not drink.
What about this, I will go get this done right away.
If you can introduce a few more friends of yours to me,
I will buy you drinks then.
Sure. Sure. It's a deal then. Thank you very much.
Tang Ning, why hasn't Zheng Hao come yet?
Didn't he say that he was going to get evidence? Can he get it?
There are ten minutes left until court proceeds. He will definitely come.
Good morning, Lawyer Liang.
Your lawyer, Zheng Hao, still hasn't arrived yet?
Did he oversleep?
He's here.
Hey, Lawyer Liang, morning.
Lawyer Zheng.
Even for a court session, you are late. Was there something you couldn't get done?
No,
I just went to the bank.
Bank?
Court is in session.
Plaintiff, Zhang Yi Ling.
Just now, your lawyer asked why I was late to a court proceeding.
I will now tell you the reason.
That's because this morning
at 9 am, I asked the court for a warrant
and then rushed to Jin Hai Bank
to see Bank President Liang
and asked for some account records.
Zhang Yi Ling，
did you open an account at Jin Hai Bank?
Yes, I opened an account at Jin Hai Bank.
Did you go through Lawyer Liang Yu's older brother, Bank President Liang?
Yes.
Then you transferred all the money from Li Xiao Di's account to your own account, right?
- Yes. - No you didn't!
Lawyer Liang,
if I didn't hear wrong, your client just said yes.
Are you trying to change her testimony?
I know... You set up a trap for me yesterday.
Lawyer Zheng, I'd like to ask you...
What method did you use to get the evidence from Jin Hai Bank?
I just told you. I went though the court and filed for a warrant.
Presiding Judge, Judges Panel.
The issue is already very clear. The Plaintiff, Zhang Yi Ling,
transferred all of Li Xiao Di's money
to the account she opened in Jin Hai Bank,
waving all of her other rights to the inheritance.
That scared me, seriously.
Zheng Hao, I never thought you were so skilled.
Killed the opponent with one hit.
How did you get the transfer information from that bank?
- The court order, is that useful? - How could it be that easy.
Liang Yu's older brother is very cunning.
After seeing the court order, he still wouldn't tell the truth.
How did you get the information then?
I didn't get it.
Bank President Liang said the bank transfer record will take at least two or three days to check.
Where would we find the time? It's obvious that he was just trying to stall.
If you don't have evidence, then what will happen after the other side finds out?
Didn't Zhang Yi Ling already admit it?
We all heard it. What can she do?
Anyway, even if he doesn't give it to me now, in a few days...
he'll obediently produce it for me.
Otherwise, I'll file for contempt!
You are really good at acting. We all believed it.
Yeah...
I really thought it was true!
This is the Zheng Family's 16th legendary fabrication!
What?
You are saying Zheng Hao didn't get the Jin Hai Bank transfer records from you?
Are you sure?
Why would I give them to him?
I told that lawyer that it will take two or three days.
Zheng Hao.
Zheng Hao, you are playing games with me, aren't you?!
Zheng Hao, how did I believe that he got the evidence from the bank?
I... Oh, my head hurts!
A headache, again? Did you go out drinking yesterday?
No, there was so much to take care of, where would I...
Never mind, never mind. Don't worry!
I will take care of it.
Lawyer Liang, we got tricked by Zheng Hao, didn't we?
This is just a small trick.
He can trick us this once, but there is no way he will win.
When I see him in court, I will show him who is better.
What kind of plan are we using?
He is playing crossing the sea by a trick. (Achieving one's goal by underhanded means)
I will repay him by taking away the firewood from under the cauldron. (To cause one's plan to fail)
Court is now in session.
Your Honor, I believe there is just one focus of this case.
That is whether the Plaintiff's or the Defendant's will
is more valid.
Everyone, please look.
Six years ago, Li Xiao Di
in an office at the Tian He ( Law Firm ),
created an official will witnessed by two lawyers.
On it were the names Zheng Hao and Lu Jing Ming, the names of two lawyers,
and their signatures. The contents of the will were also written very clearly.
[ I, Li Xiao Di, ]
[ after I die, all the property in my name, ]
[ will be inherited by Zhang Yi Ling. ]
But, this year in July, only two weeks before my father's passing,
he appointed Lawyer Zheng Hao to witness a new will
leaving one-third of his assets to me.
Defendant,
we do not deny that you also posses a will written by Li Xiao Di.
But unfortunately, the will you have has no effect.
According to the pertinent rules and regulations in our country's Justice Department,
it must have the signature of two lawyers to be effective.
As far as I know, on the day the will you possess was witnessed,
although it had two witnesses,
only Zheng Hao was a licensed lawyer
and Tang Ning is just a legal assistant.
Therefore, her verification is invalid.
Zheng Hao, Zheng Hao, speak up.
Refute him!
Zheng Hao!
I would like to remind the Attorney for the Plaintiff,
in court we decide cases according to Chinese law.
Not departmental regulations.
Let's say there weren't two lawyers at the scene...
yes, this would violate departmental regulations,
but that doesn't mean it violates the law. And we definitely can not say
that this will is invalid.
Suppose that at that time,
not only did Tang Ning not have a lawyer's license,
but I, Zheng Hao, also wasn't a lawyer.
Then let's say it was not two lawyers, but two citizens
who witnessed Mr. Li Xiao Di's will.
Is that okay?
The answer is yes. And also fully valid.
Lawyer Zheng, it doesn't matter how you say it.
This can only prove that your evidence
does not fulfill the basic requirements for a lawyer's witnessing of a will.
It's just not within the rules.
Lawyer Liang,
did you ever hear me say that this was a lawyer's witnessing of a will?
I don't think so.
If it's the lawyer's witnessing of a will and there aren't two lawyers at the scene,
this is against the rules. I agree.
But for representing a civilian's witnessing of a will,
it is absolutely in compliance.
