Medalist Lawyer Heirs
Episode 13
Would President Xie really
sign-off on those revised rules and the shareholders' committee resolution?
He definitely wouldn't. That signature is definitely fake.
But the handwriting analysis results said it was definitely his signature.
- How could that be? - Could it be a substitute?
The signature is real, but the document is fake.
How about we do this? Let's carefully examine this copy of shareholders' committee resolution once again.
But currently, we can't find any problems with it.
Will we lose the case?
Director Xue isn't going to court today. How come you're late too?
My tooth hurts. I just went to go see a doctor.
Let's go.
Judge.
Last session, the defendant's representative objected to our second piece of evidence.
We believe that the opposition's objection is unfounded.
In court, you speak through the evidence.
Right now, I will use ironclad evidence to give the opposition's representative,
Attorney Zheng, a loud-sounding 'slap'.
Firstly, Xie Fei's signatures on the new rules and the Shareholders' Committee resolution are real.
Unless the opposition can prove that the signature is fake,
they cannot doubt the truth.
Next, the defense lawyer believes this new rule
was filed at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau three days after Xie Fei passed.
Thus, its effect is questionable.
Here, I would like to tell Lawyer Zheng that
if legal matters are altered,
of course, it's based on the Industrial and Commercial Bureau's register being valid.
But for ordinary matters — for example, the sale of stocks
and the requirements and rules for inheriting —
not quickly going to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to file it
does not affect it's validity.
Objection.
Judge.
Since it hasn't been filed for the record,
it shouldn't be valid for third party.
That's right. But to all the shareholders,
it's valid. To Xie Fei, it's valid too.
If Xie Fei wanted his sons to inherit stocks,
then all of Tian Cheng Corporation's shareholders
must agree unanimously.
Where's Lawyer Xue?
How could he not come to such an important hearing?
Don't worry.
Lawyer Zheng, what happened?
What's wrong with your mouth?
Sorry, Judge.
Sorry, I got my wisdom teeth pulled this morning.
Judge.
I believe the defense is using delay tactics.
Lawyer Xue didn't come today.
Lawyer Zheng said he got his tooth pulled and so he can't speak.
Plaintiff's Lawyer, please do not jump to conclusions.
Miss Tang. Please help to take a look at him.
See if his injury is still bleeding.
Judge. It indeed is bleeding. Moreover, it really looks badly mutilated.
Then we will adjourn for the time being.
Attorney Zheng, I hope you'll go to the hospital and take care of it quickly.
Yes-
Thank you, Judge. Thank you.
You're really impressive. You could even think of a trick like this.
Do you think it was fake?
My wisdom tooth was inflamed. I just had a tooth extraction.
Hey, do you know why Boss Xue didn't come?
He must have read the new constitution and realized there's no loophole.
That's why he refuses to confront the problem, and let small attorneys like us handle it. Despicable.
- Could it be?- Fortunately,
the court has now given us some time, so we can continue to search.
Where exactly is the problem with our opponent?
Fortunately, your tooth caused you pain.
You still dare to say that? You kept making me drink those soluble milk tea.
Drinking those could cause death, do you know that?
Fortunately, I gave you soluble milk tea to drink.
Is it really very painful?
But, when I looked earlier, you really are badly mutilated.
[Tian He Law Firm.]
This is Xie Hu.
The younger male cousin of Xie Fei and Xie Feng. A shareholder of the company.
This is Xie Chao. The biological younger brother of Xie Hu. He's also a shareholder of the company.
As for this, he's Xie Jun.
This is Yang Mei Shan.
Li Yun's mother-in-law's eldest nephew from the maiden family.
This is her niece, Yang Ping.
This is Yang Wei Lian's nanny.
In any case, they are all from Yang family.
What do you think about Li Yun's mother-in-law's claim that Li Yun is of another surname.
So, she can't inherit anything from the Yang family's estate.
But, aren't these all also of another surname?
Why are they able to become shareholders of the company?
Most people are selfish when they are confronted by desire.
Aren't people from the maiden family also considered to be from your family?
Looks like my delay tactic isn't of much help.
Just looking at photographs isn't going to help us look for any loophole.
I feel that this person is questionable.
Do you think we can find some clues via this person?
He's Yang Mei Shan's son. He's only 18 years old.
He's studying abroad, and is also a resident there.
So, when he signed the shareholders' committee resolution, he was already 18 years old?
Yes.
Also, you said... he's now a resident in Australia?
Right.
Okay, okay.
About this case, it still has to be handled according to facts.
Since the facts have been confirmed. Let's just put more effort on the party implicated.
Okay, I will also deal with that.
Come in.
Come, sit.
What's up?
We've found a new clue in Xie Fei's case.
This, don't waste your time anymore.
This case, just leave it.
The decision that Xie Fei's Will is valid counts as us helping Li Yun win her case.
As for the new constitution, it's a waste of energy.
At the end, the efforts will not be worth the results, it won't be worth it.
Not worth it?
Then we just give up investigating the truth?
What's there to investigate?
Every shareholder has written an affidavit that the constitution was amended.
And they have all signed on the shareholder's resolution.
The only area of suspicion is Xie Fei's signature right now.
But, the analysis has already proven that his signature is real.
No, Boss Xue.
We have found a clue.
According to immigration records, from 1 January to
to 7 August this year which is the day of the shareholder's meeting,
Yang Wei Lian has never left Australia.
Tell me, how could he have returned to Shanghai on 7 August
to participate in the shareholder's meeting and sign the resolution?
Maybe he was participating through the telephone?
His signature may have been faxed over.
Impossible.
We have gone through all the shareholder's affidavits. They all say
that all the shareholders were personally present.
In the same room, at the same time,
they have signed the resolution.
So, there is only 1 truth. There must be someone who is lying.

Big Attorney Zheng, you've increased your capability now, haven't you?
I heard that you have just got into a fight with Boss Xue?
Fight, what fight?
We just have differing opinions to the case.
We are communicating. What do you know?
What differing opinion? Zheng Hao, I'll tell you,
sometimes you can't be too serious, you know?
Lawyers are not detectives, you don't have to find the truth.
Don't lawyers need the truth to work on their cases?
Don't they say take "facts as the basis and the law as the criterion"?
Wrong! Misinterpretation! You have misinterpreted the law.
I'll tell you guys, "facts as the basis and the law as the criterion" is the requirement of the courts.
Judges must rely on the factual truth in determining cases.
But this factual truth refers to the legal facts and
this is not necessarily the real objective truth.
What are you trash talking about?
What we are doing, is purely to help our clients
unmask the opponent witnesses' lies and reinstate the truth.
Wow, unmask the lies, have you found a breaking point?
You're bluffing.
Bluff?
You don't believe it?
Fine, I'll tell you and you'll lose and accept defeat.
Ahh, I get it. So you...
using him as a breakthrough, and from there, veto
the constitution amendment that the shareholders made during the shareholders' meeting.
So, if such a witness is thrown out,
then the remaining seven witnesses from the shareholders' meeting
will have all their lines of defense be self-defeated.
Clever. Really clever.
Let that Li Dong Tian experience Zheng family's finishing blow.
Master, what is this strategy called?
Eye for an eye.
Now, we call the witness Yang Wei Lian to take the stand.
Witness, this is the Plaintiff's Evidence Number 3.
Do you know what this document is?
It is the resolution of the shareholders meeting.
- Then, do you still remember the contents of the resolution? - I remember.
It was to add a clause in the constitution.
What content? - That is, if uncle Xie dies,
his 2 sons, Xie Yi and Xie Er can't inherit his shares.
What did you see this resolution?
When did you sign it?
7 August at the shareholder's meeting.
This year's 7 August shareholder's meeting.
According to the affidavits of all the shareholders,
your uncle Xie was also present.
Xie Fei had 70% of the shares.
According to the resolution, when he passes away,
his 2 sons, Xie Yi and Xie Er,
can't inheritance his shares, is that right?
Do you think he would have agreed?
Judge, I have no further questions.
Judge,
Mr Yang,
how old is your uncle Xie this year?
49 years old?
How is his health?
Or in other words, do you know if he has
any life-threatening illnesses?
No.
He is as healthy as a bull, I don't think he has had any illnesses.
If, and I say if,
he wasn't a victim in the murder,
I think he would have lived to 80 years old, or maybe even 100 years old.
Okay, can I safely assume that, at the shareholder's meeting held on 7 August this year, he could not have
foreseen that he will be murdered 10 days later,
and what he could foresee was himself living to 80 years old, am I correct?
Yes.
Then from his perspective, when he dies,
his 2 sons would have been adults.
- Yes. - Okay, thank you.
Why Xie Fei would sign this new resolution,
is because he did not think that he would be disadvantaged by it.
He is a open-minded businessman.
He is the first person in Shanghai to hold a living memorial.
He did this to perfect
and modernise his Corporation
and the amendment to the Constitution largely reflects
his efforts in this area.
That's right, you can't be anymore accurate.
This Accountant Du is Tang Ji Ye's childhood friend. They came from the same village.
He has been the finance manager ever since Tang Ye Corporation was established.
He has worked for several decades, and has just recently retired two years ago.
He's preparing to go overseas to enjoy his life as a retiree.
Nice to meet you. I am Zhou Tong
- Hello.- Hua Ye's good friend.
Today, I'd like to trouble you
to give us an introduction of Tang Ye Corporation's origin, can you?
No problem
That time, it was not called corporation
It was just a small trading company dealing with plush toys.
Later, Boss Tang invested in properties, and as things went smoothly for him along the way, the company grew bigger.
Right, Boss Tang Ji Ye passed away in '98, correct?
Correct. Actually, he was lying on a hospital bed for ten years
A person in a vegetative state, without any sense of consciousness, it was a torture.
In relation to the Plaintiff lawyer's cross examination,
do you have anything to add, Defendant lawyers?
Judge, I have a final question.
Please go ahead and be aware of time.
Yes.
Witness,
according to your affidavit submitted to the court,
you participated in Tian Cheng Corporation's shareholder's meeting on 7 August this year?
Yes.
Then, all the shareholders were all present, including your uncle Xie, Xie Fei?
That's correct.
You were all in Tian Cheng Corporation's meeting room for the shareholder's meeting,
and one by one, all of you signed the shareholder's resolution?
Yes, that's what happened.
Okay.
Judge, I now wish to submit new evidence.
Please hand that over.
This is what we have just obtained
from the immigration authorities.
You are submitting new evidence in court during trial. The Plaintiff may object
or request for an adjournment.
Judge,
since this evidence was obtained pursuant to a court warrant, then
we will not object and agree to this evidence being submitted.
But, since the Defendant's lawyers have presented new evidence,
we reserve all of the Plaintiff's rights to examination of this new evidence.
Agreed.
Witness, according to that evidence,
from 1 January to 7 August this year,
that is the day of the shareholder's meeting,
the immigration authorities do not have a record of your entry into or departure from Shanghai. May we know
how did you enter Shanghai to participate in the shareholder's meeting?
I, didn't return to China. Why do I have to return to Shanghai?
Just now you personally said that you participated in Tian Cheng Corporation's shareholder's meeting.
It was you who said that you have personally signed the shareholder's resolution.
If you didn't return to Shanghai, then how did you participate in the shareholder's meeting on 7 August?
You've gotten it wrong. The meeting was not held in Shanghai.
It was held in Australia.
Tian Cheng Corporation also has an office and meeting rooms in Sydney.
You mean that all the shareholders obtained visas,
bought airplane tickets and flew to Sydney, Australia, for the shareholder's meeting?
Yes. I remember that after the shareholder's meeting, uncle Xie took a group photograph with us,
I have a photo as evidence.
Judge, now this witness is taking out such a photo,
it needs to be tendered as new evidence isn't it?
Judge,
Lawyer Zheng, it depends on you.
If you aren't challenging Mr Yang's evidence, then we may not submit this photograph as evidence.
But if you are challenging his evidence,
then we will submit this photograph as fresh evidence.
I have already requested from the Court just now that the Plaintiff will reserve all rights.
Mr. Du, I'm a good friend of CEO Tang's daughter
I want to ask you about something, I'm not sure if you could help.
Help? No problem. Just wait, he can help with anything.
Other people, I won't answer. Tang Ning's issue
I can definitely help.
There are some things I want to understand, in 1998
this is the year Tang Ji Ye died,
Tang Ye Corporation net worth was worth how much?
Net Worth? Yes. 20 million?
Only 20 million?
August 7th of this year,
Where did your shareholder's meeting take place?
Sydney. I had a visa to enter Australia
We, shareholders, took a picture.
Although for a real estate company, the debt ratio is comparatively higher,
But Tang Ye Corporation's net worth was much higher.
It should be just shy of 300 million (43 million USD)
300 million?
Mr. Du, it's been so many years, is it possible you're remembering incorrectly?
Did I remember too quickly?
This number, is in my head.
Furthermore, at that time Zhong Ke Ming and Tang Li Qun
also asked me about this.
Zhong Ke Ming? Zhong Ke Ming? Let me ask you,
Has Hua Ye found Zheng Hao's grandmother's home?
Not yet, but Hua Ye told me that his investigations are beginning the take shape,
he would be able to give me information within the next two days.
Tang Ning, I'm more anxious than you.
Something major happened to your family and you are still not bothered by it.
You are still worrying about others, helping others find his mother.
Didn't I come to find you because I can't figure out what's happening in my family?
Right, that year the company was worth 300 million
Your mom thought it was only worth 20 million and gave up everything.
I don't understand at all.
Discounted Sale. Does this phrase even need to be analyzed?
20 million isn't even close to today's price
Your mother may not know the value of the company
but Zhong Ke Ming should have known that it's worth 300 million
but he just didn't tell her.
What's wrong?
Do you think that the more you investigate, it becomes a bottomless pit?
Zheng Hao and I lost the case today.
What? You lost?
How is it possible? The will wasn't valid?
What use does the will have?
The witnesses today, be it Xie or Yang, which one of them isn't Xie Yi and Xie Er's elder?
But when they were against that two ten year old kids, they were just like wolves.
But no matter what, these shareholders
must have used money to buy the shares from Xie Yi and Xie Er
they can't just take it away.
Spend money? Easily said than done.
When my aunt and uncle bought our shares, did they spend a lot of money?
You already said. 10%.
At that time, your mother didn't know. Thus, it was unfortunate.
But that's not the case for Xie Yi and Xie Er
They have you and Zheng Hao help them. How could they lose?
What's the use? If someone
deliberately wants to take money and assets away from you
they will definitely make a foolproof plan.
You won't be able to find any loopholes.
Look. They could even faked a shareholders meeting and made it looked like real.
There's no way to expose him.
In that case, how can we stop them from making a company
appear as an enterprise that's deep in financial deficit and debt?
I was thinking that if my aunt and uncle
are like the Xie family,
They've planned everything solidly well and tightly sealed.
What's the use if I try to find out the truth now?
My mom has already said everything is her fault.
It's just like my aunt and uncle didn't do anything wrong.
Are you discouraged?
Back then, when the shares were transferred, that was just at the time of the financial crisis.
Even if I hold the rights to the shares,
would I be able to help Tang Ye Corporation tide over the crisis?
If my uncle and aunt hadn't taken over
how could Tang Ye Corporation be in this state today?
Lawyer Zheng.
What's wrong? Why did you ask me to see you urgently?
Tell me the truth.
What benefits did Li Tong Tian give you? Why did you betray me?
When did I betray you?
You were the only one whom I told about the loophole for Xie Fei's case.
Today, his witness in court,
was able to answer every question like seamless heavenly clothes (flawless), and was able to cover all the loopholes.
- Wasn't that you? - I'm telling you,
I definitely didn't tell Li Dong Tian about this.
Also, other than me, someone else knows about this.
- Who? - Tang Ning.
She was there yesterday too.
Impossible, she wouldn't do it.
There is someone else too.
Also, Director Xue. He knew about everything
What are you saying?
Xue Han Zhi is my boss. Would he betray his own law firm?
Why not?
Let me tell you.
Yesterday, I saw Xie Feng going there to discuss matters with your boss.
Timing and subtitles brought to you by the Gone With The Shirt Team @ Viki
Did you do a deal with Xie Feng?
- What's wrong with you? - Why did you betray me?
What nonsense are you spouting?
Zheng Hao, I already told you many times.
A lawyer must be rational. He should not use emotions to do his work.
Stop pretending to be ignorant. Let me ask you.
How did Li Dong Tian manage to attack the day after?
Why would his witness prepare in advance his exit record
and the photograph of the shareholders'meeting? Why?
Stop talking nonsense to me!
Xie Feng took the initiative to see me.
He said that if he wins the case
and becomes Tian Cheng Corporation's main shareholder, he promised that
we can be his long term legal consultant.
Do you know how much efforts I spent to get this contract?
This client always belonged to Hai Ming Law Office
did you know that I didn't even take on a minor case?
If we can get an agreement for this case
and become Tian Cheng's long term legal consultant, what's wrong with this?
Just because of a long term contract, you betrayed me.
I didn't betray you!
I still know where the boundary of a lawyer is.
Zheng Hao. When you are handling a case,
sometimes, you need to know where to retreat. Understand?
We've already helped Li Yun win the case of Xie Fei's will, right?
Now, Xie Feng cannot deny the existence of the will, right?
The court has already acknowledged the validity of the new constitution.
What are we good for? What good will it be for us to work against it?
Isn't it better for us to do Xie Feng a favor at little cost to us
and let him be the major shareholder?
This case is not over yet.
It's a compromise. Don't you get it?
What is a compromise? A compromise means that
both parties each make a concession with no relation to winning or losing the case.
Even if we retreat and lose the case,
being able to gain Tian Cheng's
long term contract, it's worth it.
Just to make such a small profit,
you can even do anything.
What's wrong with making profits?
If we don't make profits, who will pay your salary?
Let me tell you, Zheng Hao. If I don't make any profits,
you'll have to leave Tian He Law Firm and go to the Legal Assistance Center!
Timing and subtitles brought to you by the Gone With The Shirt Team @ Viki
What's wrong? You asked to meet me here and you are not saying anything.
Let me ask you.
What do you think the value of a lawyer is?
A lawyer?
It's fighting for justice.
Justice?
Article 2 Clause 3 of the law legislation.
A lawyer should safeguard the legal rights of the concerned party;
safeguard the correct implementation of the law;
safeguard justice and equity in the society
If all three of them are aligned, there'll be no problem.
But if these three conflict
what would you choose?
I'd choose the first article. Safeguard the legal rights of the concerned party.
- Why? - This is the baseline.
If a lawyer is unable to safeguard the legal rights of the concerned party, then this profession is crumbled.
It's meaningless for lawyers to exist.
Is safeguarding the legal rights of the concerned party really that important?
They are not related in any way to us. Why do we help them?
Aren't we making money from them to fight their cases?
Let me ask you. If someone were to tell me that
if I lose the court but I will make even bigger bucks,
which choice would you take? Lose or win?
What's going on?
I just went to see Xue Han Zhi.
It was him who caused me to lose the Li Dong Tian's case
for the sake of making profits.
What's up? Have you figured out what you're going to do?
You've thought about it for a night, do you what to do?
What can I do?
The most important responsibility of being a lawyer is to maintain the rights and interests of the parties
We must not give in to those noxious winds and evil influences (unhealthy social trends).
In short, I will not give up until I stand with him during the last minute,
Okay, I'm rooting for you.
Once this is over, do you understand?
If you want to be a good lawyer, having a sense of responsibility and working hard is not enough.
You need a good platform.
Think about it and tell me your answer. Hai Ming Law Firm will welcome you anytime.
You'll have to wait until the lawsuit is over, I don't know what to do right now.
Zheng Hao, actually, this matter
you aren't able to solve it,
I also can't help you. But there is someone who can.
Who?
Vice President Zhong.
Lawyer Zhong,
It is estimated that a judgement will be made for our case very soon.
It will be soon but as long as there is no sentence.
Then there is a chance.
Lawyer Zhong, first put that down. We can continue after eating.
I'll be paying for this meal.
How can that be? It was me who asked you for the favour, I'll be paying.
Let me tell you Zheng Hao. You, me
In the future you don't have to make the distance between us clear.
Between us, let's not be like strangers.
Why?
I will tell you later.
Come, let's eat.
I think there is something wrong with that shirt.
What is the problem?
Xie Fei bought that shirt from Australia last year.
When he went to Australia in August this year he did not bring that shirt with him.
- Are you sure? - I'm sure.
Whenever he goes on business trips, I am the one that prepares all of his luggage
So in short, this photo was not taken on the 7th of August this year.
There is a problem with Xie Fei's shirt.
- Look. - What is the problem?
Xie Fei, that guy
His love for name brands has already reached a extreme state.
He once told me,
that the clothes he wears has to be the latest and the most popular.
Moreover he will not wear anything that has gone out of season.
Then, the shirt his wearing is an old design.
This style was from last years Armani's collection.
With Xie Fei's personality
This year on the 7th of August he would not have worn this shirt to Australia.
Lawyer Zhong, you are amazing. You are able to find a flaw just by looking at a shirt.
About name brands and trends,
I don't understand anything.
You will understand very soon.
Zheng Hao, you are now a rising star.
You will be a lawyer soon.
You can tell fortunes?
I can read faces.
I don't know anything at all.
I can only mind read. My father taught me.
What?
Then can you read what I am thinking right now.
I can tell that you treat me very well.
And you seem to admire me.
I can also see the reason why.
Why?
I will tell you in the future.
You punk!
You said that you can mind read.
You've been working with Xue Han Zi for so long.
Do you know what kind of person he is?
Someone who disappointed me a lot.
Then don't mind his attitude. He is who he is.
When there is no pressure, he is a gentleman. But when there is pressure,
he will reveal his true colours.
- What do you mean? - It's nothing.
I just wanted you to know that in this world there are different types of people.
Then you mean he is a schemer?
Anyhow, he is not a gentleman.
Has he always been like that.
Back then when your father entrusted you with him, I shouldn't have said anything.
But since you asked, I'll you the story.
Do you know how your father
lost his lawyer practicing certificate back then?
I don't know.
Does it have something to do with Xue Han Zi?
I've heard that there is a small relation.
I've only heard. There is no concrete evidence.
I heard, he wanted to start his career
and push all of his matters onto your father.
Then why did my father not tell me this before.
Why did he want me to work for Xue Han Zhi?
From beginning to end, your father didn't even know about this
Zheng Hao, let me tell you this. About this matter,
you must keep it a secret. I am like a brother to him.
Timing and subtitles brought to you by the Gone With The Shirt Team @ Viki
There's a breakthrough.
Is it also connected to the photograph?
When I met with Lawyer Zhong, he pointed out something
That Xie Fei would not wear out of season clothing
He was wearing an Armani collection from two years ago
so he definitely wouldn't wear this.
Li Yun's statement is more direct. She said this clothing
She didn't put it in his luggage
Really?
But I thought of a point when I was helping her write her affidavit,
that is will the Court refuse to acknowledge her affidavit?
Li Dong Tian will definitely say that she has interests as a stakeholder, and so her credibility is low.
Lawyer Zhong's evidence is also not strong enough.
Who would testify that he doesn't wear clothing that's out of style?
What do we do?
No. I must find an
evidence that can plug Li Dong Tian's mouth at one go and seal it tightly.
But right now we don't have that much time
Just now when I was eating with Lawyer Zhong,
he told me a story of Lincoln solving a case.
Do you know how Lincoln solved his case?
Lincoln became America's president,
but when he was young, he was like you.
He was also a small lawyer.
There was once he led a case. The Defendant claimed he was wronged.
The witness was adamant that he was the culprit.
The witness's testimony is as follows.
On 18 October at 11pm, the witness
was standing 20 metres away from the Defendant
and saw the Defendant execute the entire act.
Lincoln asked the witness, it was the middle of the night, how
could you have seen the Defendant's face clearly?
The witness replied, the moonlight was bright that night.
The moonlight shone on the Defendant's face and that's how he could see
the culprit's face clearly.
Lincoln analysed his testimony
and was certain that the witness was lying.
His testimony was falsified.
