Medalist Lawyer Heirs
Episode 10
Dai Bo told me that you and aunt are looking for me
Right, we are looking for you
Where is aunt? I went to her office and she wasn't there
She left. She has an appointment with her doctor to do some test.
She's sick?
Lately, she keeps having headache. Also she has pain in her belly.
so we went to get a checkup to see if there are any problems
Is it serious?
This is a copy of your father's will
I went to Hong Kong and convinced your mom
You were looking for me for this?
Didn't I tell you last time?
As long as your other agrees,
we would tell you everything
- What about my Mom?- Your Mom will be home soon.
I will leave the rest for your Mom to tell you.
I saw my uncle
You did? What did he say
He let me see my father's will
Did you know? My uncle is someone who should be carrying out my Dad's will.
It's him!
Then he has the legal duty to show you the will.
Also, how did your share transfer to your Auntie?
he said my mother transferred it to my aunt
I have to wait for my Mom to come back to explain to me on the details.
I heard Auntie Tang today that your Mom will be home in a couple days.
If my Mom did it, then it is my Mom's fault.
what can I do?
I understand how you feel
but whether your other or your aunt is wrong
you would be hurt the most, since they are your closest relatives
Aiya. I have never thought of it.
Our great Lawyer Zhong will visit our infamous Tian He Law Office.
Don't you start with me. Sound so bitter.
I came to you to talk about a case
What case?
Xie Fei's inheritance case. Are you interested?
Xie Fei's inheritance case?!
It has been very popular in the news lately.
Yes. The objective is several hundred million dollars. (US$ 145 million)
Li Yun has been after me to represent her sons.
I can't take it so I want to recommend you to her.
Then... Why aren't you taking it?
Conflict of interest. You know about that.
I bet... there are other reasons.
Great Lawyer Zhong do thing always pay a lot of attention to details.
Why would you send over such a big case to me?
Case is case. Are you taking it?
Take it. Why won't I take it?
Such a big objective. For just lawyer fee would be several 10 of million of dollars. (US$ 1.5 millions)
That's good then. That's deal.
Which lawyer are you planing on taking this case?
What do you think about me taking it on personally? Good enough?
Good enough.
But no matter what, you need to find an assistant, right?
with me. Are you happy with that?
2 big lawyers. I don't think it is ideal.
I think it is better to have a big lawyer and a little lawyer.
In your law firm, there is someone named Zheng Hao. I think he is a pretty good lawyer.
Director Xue, please sign this for me and hurry. I am in a hurry.
Lawyer Zhong!
Speaking of which. He is right here.
I am sorry. I didn't know you are here.
Zheng Hao. Lawyer Zheng.
Xiao Zheng. You are pretty famous lately.
Our great Lawyer Zhong just pick you out.
There is a big case. I like you to take it on.
A big case?
Oh, I'm just a small lawyer, I'm not sure if I'm capable enough
Trust my judgement. If I say you can take it on, then you can.
Lawyer Xue will tell you the details.
Okay.
I am sorry. I am going to go. I am in a hurry.
Thank you, Lawyer Zhong. Thanks.
Bye. Bye. Bye.
You guys knew each other long ago!?
Not too long. We only knew each other for about a month or so.
Do you know whose son he his?
I do.
He is Zheng Yi Jian's son.
You did a good job on keeping secrets.
You have keep me in the dark pretty good.
You can't blame me for that. Teacher Zheng wouldn't let me say.
Good morning.
Excuse me
You are pretty good.
- What's it?- The group has message and said you took on Xie family case.
You knew about this already?
Yes. But did you know?
The Xie Family went to Hai Ming Law Office at first.
Zhong Ke Ming tried to avoid the conflict so he hand the case over to us.
And...
he mentioned me by name to take on this case.
I am going to be famous! I will be well known.
Why is it Zhong Ke Ming again?
Why is he helping you like this?
What relationship do you have with him?
Why are you asking? What attitude is this?
Zhong Ke Ming is a rich person.
He is very busy everyday. Where does he get time to pay attention to you?
For your brother and your case, he showed up every day. Is that normal?
You know, he is my father's student.
He said he was checking to see if my family need any help.
He help you and pay attention to you because of your Dad?
I recall now
He must be trying to pay me back. Last week, at that tea house,
I save him from the culprit
with my bare hand.
Did you get hurt?
I am fine.
Why didn't I know about such a bizarre incident?
I am just like that. When I did any good deed,
I do not talk about it. That is why you didn't know.
So you are his saviour then.
That is for sure.
Well, I am also your saviour.
Did you forgot? At Li Xiao Di's house, if I didn't save you,
you would die in fire.
That is for sure.
Saviour! I will go make you some coffee.
Here.
Inheritance by Will? Who told you that this is inheritance by Will?
I won't tell you first.
If Xie Fei doesn't have a Will, then how should we run this case?
By intestacy laws.
There are only 5 first successors in line in this case.
Xie Fei's wife, Li Yun, his 2 sons, Li Yi and Li Er,
and his parents.
Judging from the people in both parties, it is 3 to 2.
Li Yun and her sons have 3 shares.
Xie Fei's parents have 2 shares, but of course, the real beneficiary is Xie Feng.
They say Tian Cheng Corporation is worth 30 billion.
Then Xie Fei's 70% shares are worth 20 billion.
If Xie Feng wants to buy Li Yun's shares,
then he has to pay at least 12 billion. Does he have that much money?
He doesn't have that much. That's why he told Li Yun that the maximum amount he will pay is 3 billion.
Then Li Yun can continue inheriting the shares. Whether she sells them or not is her freedom.
She has to decide for herself.
But when I was interviewing Li Yun, she told me that things were not so simple.
The Xie family has done a lot of behind doors.
What could they have done?
Unless Xie Fei has a Will.
There is a will.
Xie Fei has a Will?
Why didn't anyone tell me?
Because even Li Yun doesn't even know herself.
I found out at the police station today.
According to the in-charge officer, when the culprit was caught,
everyone on site were questioned. Right?
That's right. Me, Tang Li Qun and Zhong Ke Ming.
It's exactly Zhong Ke Ming.
When he was questioned, he has handed over a piece of napkin to the officer.
It says, "My, Xie Fei's assets belongs to my both of my sons."
-He wrote it himself?-That's what Zhong Ke Ming said.
If the writing is evaluated and match. If it really was written by Xie Fei,
plus there were eyewitnesses.
Then we'll definitely win.
- So early!- Aren't you early yourself as well?
Hey, let me give you a task.
-What task?-To find two witnesses.
No problem. Witnesses's name and address?
Zhong Ke Ming, Tang Li Qun.
-Why do we need to find them?-You forgot?
They are the only ones who can verify the authenticity of Xie Fei's Will.
You should go find them yourself.
Hey, didn't you just say okay? Now it's not?
I heard that Zhong Ke Ming's personality isn't good.
I don't know how to communicate with him.
Aren't you his savior? He would give you face.
-Useless.-Master.
I, Xie Fei, give all my assets to my two sons.
You're lucky this time.
How's it going? Can you verify that this is Xie Fei's handwriting?
The police has verified that it is Xie Fei's handwriting.
Then you're set to win.
I think I'm still lacking a witness.
I originally wanted Tang Ning to find Zhong Ke Ming and Tang Li Qun to talk.
-Oh.-But
she's afraid of trouble. She doesn't seem very willing.
You assigned Tang Ning this task?
The difficulty level is a little high.
Boss Zhong and Boss Tang isn't someone you can see when you want to.
You should think of another plan.
[ Tang Ye Corporation ]
Timing and subtitles brought to you by the Gone With The Shirt Team @ Viki
Come in.
-UncleNing, why are you here?
Here, sit.
I wanted to discuss an important matter.
Important matter? Your mother's transfer of stock agreement? We really don't have it.
It's for another situation.
What situation?
I'm assisting Zheng Hao with Xie Fei's inheritance case.
We understand from the police that Xie Fei had a Will before he died.
He wrote it on a restaurant napkin, is that right?
You're referring to this situation?
Zheng Hao wanted me to look for you
to see if you and Aunt can be a witness for this case
Why didn't he come himself?
I am his assistant. I am responsible for obtaining witnesses.
Did he really say that, or he already knows our relationship?
He doesn't know.
I can help you within my limits, but being a witness
your aunt and me, it will not be convenient for us to appear in court.
Why? Haven't you already involved yourself in this matter?
You gave the case to Tian He Law Office and wanted Zheng Hao to work on this case.
Ning, you seem to have a message in your words.
Uncle, I have a question.
I think you seem to an interest in Zheng Hao
Right, I do have an interest in him, because his father Zheng Yi Jian
He is your substitute teacher, right?
Right.
If it's because of this, shouldn't you help Zheng Hao?
I will think about it.
Zheng Hao! Zheng Hao! Zheng Hao! Why are you only getting in now? Director Xue has been asking for you for several times.
- You are gossiping again!?- I...
Look at him!
Director Xue and Li Yun has been waiting for you for awhile.
Put this in my office.
Zheng Hao. Where did you go? We were looking for you all day.
Sorry, I had a situation.
Quick, brief Director Li about evidence of the Will.
Yes. Director Li, I have an update.
We have obtained your husband's original Will
written on a restaurant napkin from the police. �
And the handwriting analysis has come to a conclusion
that it is indeed Director Xie's handwriting.
That's great
If this will can be recognized by the court,
then Xie Feng should not think about getting hold of a single share.
Right.
Now this Will is crucial.
I've done some calculations. If inheritance is determined to be according to intestacy laws,
you will have 3/5 shares.
Which will be 42% of Tian Cheng's shares.
Your parents-in-law will then have 28% of Tian Cheng's shares.
Adding Xie Feng and Xie family's 30% shareholding, then
they will have 58% of the total shares.
If that is so, they will be the controlling shareholders.
You and your sons will be minor non-controlling shareholders. �
Now that I have this will
then my two sons should inherit all the stock rights, correct?
That's correct
If this Will is effective, then Xie Yi and Xie Er
will inherit all of Director Xie's shares.
It will be 70%. So you will be the controlling shareholder.
Right, if it's according to the will,
Director Xie's Will does not bear his signature
and it was written on a restaurant napkin
it is not very valuable.
I'm afraid the Court will not view it as an important evidence for inheritance by Will.
Then, what do we do?
There is some difficulty with this.
Director Li, don't be anxious. We will definitely find a solution.
What other methods do we have?
Did Xie Feng propose anything new?
First, Xie family still does not know of the existance of this Will.
Lawyer Xue told me to keep this a secret.
So Xie family is still negotiating with you on the basis of your 3 part shares versus their 2 part shares?
They say that the company is not worth 30 billion. That is puffery.
And the shareholders do not have that much cash to buy us out.
To gather 3 billion is not an easy feat for them.
Why do they want to force you to sell your stocks?
Because the company's constitution has a prohibition on
minors inheriting or accumulating shares.
Rationale is to avoid interference to company's daily financial management or something similar to that.
Your company even has such a clause in its constitution?
Is that the wishes of your husband?
Wow, his thinking is quite forward. No wonder he wanted to organise that living memorial.
I think other company's don't have such prohibitions in their constitutions.
This clause seems to be a problem.
Why do you think this clause didn't appear sooner or much later?
It is only after your husband's death that it was passed.
And this clause only prohibits Xie Yi and Xie Er's inheritance of shares.
Why would they also want to buy shares you will inherit?
My mother-in-law hates me. She doesn't want me to be a stockholder.
If my 2 sons are also kicked out,
minor shareholders won't be protected.
Those little shares that I have won't mean anything as well.
If Xie Feng really relies on that clause in his case,
even if your husband's Will is effective,
I'm afraid that Xie Yi and Xie Er's shares will still have to be sold to them.
Have you mentioned this to Director Xue yet?
Not yet.
How can it be like this?
Like what?
I'm reading Li Yun's background of events.
Can relatives really kill each other in the fight for inheritance?
Who's killing who?
Li Yun says that she suspects that Tian Hong was hired by Xie Feng.
Don't listen to her allegations.
That day I was also at the scene
When I saw Tian Hong he was already out of it.
His eyes were filled with hatred. He just rushed over
and hacked at Xie Fei.
Then, he rushed towards Tang Li Qun
and Zhong Ke Ming. If he was really hired,
will he be that stupid?
Wouldn't he leave after killing Xie Fei?
Later one, I heard that Tian Hong has a engineer team.
They do dirty jobs for the Xie brothers.
Then they both refused to pay up.
Which forced Tian Hong to a corner.
So he resorted to this.
What do you mean dirty jobs?
Every Demolition project has holdouts.
Those one who would never leave no matter what.
So Tian Hong did those kind of jobs like
cutting electricity, cutting water and
breaking windows or walls.
And force those people to move out.
So undisciplined and out of control! Then Tian Hong is guilty and deserves to be punished.
I am hungry. I will treat you some midnight snack.
You are treating me?
You haven't gotten your paycheck yet. Do you have money?
What do you mean?
Even if I don't have money now, aren't I close with the boss?
I will just sign an IOU. I will pay him next month. It will be fine.
I will wipe it for you.
I will do it myself.
You don't know how to take care of yourself.
With you as an assistant, do I still need to take care of myself?
That's true
For work, I take care of you. On a personal level, Dai Bo takes care of you. How lucky.
Dai Bo and I are good buddies. He is not taking care of me.
He is serving me. Do you know?
I have to pay him.
You guys talk about money?
Friends don't need to pay? How can I owe him so much?
What if he wants me to pay up one day. How do I pay it back to him?
What's wrong? It doesn't take good? Let me try it.
What are you thinking about?
I am thinking about Li Yun's case.
Right now is personal time. Don't think about work.
With case, you can't be too emotional.
Why do you think this family can't tolerate Li Yun and her sons?
Yes. Even if Li Yun is a daughter-in-law, an outsider,
but Xie Yi and Xie Er are Xie Fei's flesh and blood.
They are Grandpa and Grandma's biological grandchildren.
Men are like that.
Everything is fine when nothing is going on.
Once you have a conflict of interest
The dark side of human nature all come out. All appear.
At least they should leave they a way out.
They are going to just taken all the shares away from the mother and sons?
They have gone too far.
No one will resent having too much money. When you have 100 million dollars, (US$ 15 million)
you would wan to have 1 billion dollars. When you have 1 billion dollars, (US$ 150 million)
you want to have 10 billion dollars. (US$ 1.5 billion)
But I do find sometimes
what Xie Fei said was not totally unreasonable.
If we won, Xie Yi and Xie Er
became their controlling share holders.
How can those two control the company?
Wouldn't Tian Cheng be in trouble?
If... back then, the company regulation
Xie Fei wrote is real,
then I think he was really sagacious. He was really awesome.
I don't think this case is a problem about money
It is obvious that the uncle is bulling both of his nephews.
So, it is already very painful for minors to lost their love ones.
But those relative have to loot a burning house? (To profit from someone's misfortune)
Isn't that being a robber?
Men are very greedy.
You are not going to eat? I will eat that for you.

.Ladies and gentlemen. May I have your attention please.
Flight MU51...
...36 to Qing Dao is now boarding.
Would you please have your belonging and boarding pass ready?
Boarding the aircraft through gate number 35. Thank you.
- Ladies and gentlemen...- Mrs. Xia Yun! Mrs. Xia Yun! Hello.
- Secretary Shen.- Yes.
Why are you here?
Chairman Tang asks me to come pick you up.
- Oh.- Please let me.
Would you please have your belonging and boarding pass ready?
Boarding the aircraft through gate number 35. Thank you.
Good morning, Mr. Zhong.
Yo. Bog Boss Zhong. Sit. Sit.
You are very hard to track down. What kind of big acquisition case are you working on?
Fatty, stop rambling. spit it out!
It is about Li Yun's case. Since you entrusted it to me,
you might as well do us a favour and appear in court for her.
Say that you have eyewitness Xie Fei wrote that will.
What will?
What do you mean what will?
The will Xie Fei wrote on the napkin.
About this, I really can't be the witness.
You are afraid to offend Xie Family.
It is not about offending or not. There is conflict of interest.
If I can go in court, I would have representing Li Yun.
Why would I give you the case? Why wouldn't I make this money myself?
Great Lawyer Zhong makes big money. Why would you care about small money like this one?
If you refuse to appear in court, the court
might not approve of that will.
Why can't you see it as do-it-yourself will?
Xie Fei signed the will himself. The police already confirmed that.
Why would you need me to appear in court to be the eyewitness of the will?
What do you mean why? It is all for Li Yun to win the case.
If you refuse to appear in court, how can we guarantee to win the case?
Being the witness is a citizen's duty.
Don't you use that one.
You... Who told you to be there!
You were the one who persuade Xie Fei wrote the napkin will.
Let me think about it
Ning already saw her father's will
She wants to see the transfer of stock agreement between us
I know my daughter. She has only have one-track mind.
She likes to ask questions and get the bottom of things.
Since she studies law, this problem only get worse.
I am afraid once she saw the will, she will ask for the Share Transfer Agreement.
and after seeing the agreement, would ask even more questions
As for this, Ke Ming already guess it.
Mama Wong!
What's wrong with you? Do you need to retire?
I carelessly broke the lid of the tea cup
I want to switch a cup of tea for the older sister-in-law.
No worry, Mama Wong. Be careful in the future.
Okay, I understand
- Careless? Hurry and clean it up.- Oh.
Don't come in anymore, we are discussing things
If you go home now, if Ning asks you, you know what to say, right?
This issue, when I was in Hong Kong,
I already discussed it with Zhong Ke Ming
The more you said the more mistake you make.
Don't say so much first
The more you said the more holes appears. It will be hard to fill those holes in the future. (Telling more lies to cover up the original lie.
Today, isn't there a family meeting?
We will explain then. If Xiao Ning has any difficult questions,
Ke Ming and I would help you
I said that I don't have an issue
as long as you don't talk about that situation
Don't sell me again.
Fatty. I know you have something to say to me.
But we were classmates.
We do not have any immense hatred toward each other, right?
Don't circle around. Spit it out if you have something to say.
I want to ask you two questions. Very simple, but you must answer my question.
Well, don't question me like questioning a witness. Alright?
Alright, alright. As long I know, I will tell you the truth.
When did Zheng Hao start working for you?
Before, he was at a small firm for a little over a year
and then Teacher Zheng sent him to me.
Teacher Zheng sent him to you. Did he tell you anything?
No.
Think about it some more.
Ning researching the will, if it's because someone tipped her off.
or if on your end, you have any enemies.
What kind of enemies can I have?
I am a weak person. Since your older brother past away,
I would only back down. How would I dare to make enemies?
Backing back?
If you didn't let my older brother down back then,
would you back down?
Didn't we agree that we wouldn't bring this up?
Your older brother has already die for so many years now, why are you still using that to pressure me?
I won't mention it. It is possible for me not to mention that.
But we have to pull together and work as one tomorrow
and convince Xiao Ning to sign.
The second question I want to ask you: my niece, Tang Ning.
Why did she return to the country and go to Tian He Law Office?
Is there something behind all this?
What?
Didn't I already tell you? When I saw you last time,
it was my first time finding out that she is your niece.
Really?
It is up to you to believe it.
If there is something really going on, your niece
is a bit suspicious.
What do you mean?
When she came to me, I have assigned someone to her.
But she said she wanted to be Zheng Hao's assistant
Two days earlier, it was strange
One time, when I saw her. When I told her that
she is your niece, she was pretty panicky.
In a few days, she came to my office and ask me to keep the secret for her.
Don't expose her identity to anyone.
Okay. No problem. I'll go first. You grab the check.
Ning.
Why don't you greet me when I come back?
Mom. You're home?
What's wrong with you? You're acting strange.
You knew I was coming home today. Why did you pick me up at the airport?
Didn't Aunt send someone to pick you up?
How did you know?
Rest early.
Don't forget about tomorrow's family meeting.
Good night, Mom.
Hello! You have work hard for a few days now, right?
Are you hungry?
- I am about to faint. - I bought you some food.
- Thanks. - Hurry and eat.
When you are done. We should go out and move around.
You will gain weight if you only stay home and only eat. I am going to change my clothes, alright?
Yes.
Timing and subtitles brought to you by the Gone With The Shirt Team @ Viki
Chairman Zhong, are you looking for me?
There are a lot of things troubling me.
I ask you to come to talk to me.
Is it the distribution case not going well?
or is it family matters. Has to do with Tang Ning?
What did she say to you?
She didn't say anything concrete. She told told me
that she saw the contents of her father's will.And she said
you are the executor of estate
Then what did you say to her?
Did you tell her that I am the executor of estate
that I have the responsibility to protect her?
I only answered her question.
She isn't your client!
Aunt Tang is your client.
You need to be clear that you can't just answer any question.
Tang Ning's family business is not yours.
I understand, Chairman Zhong
But... I have spent my weekend with your family.
I watched her grow up. I don't want the family to be on bad terms.
You like her?
You like Tang Ning?
