Medalist Lawyer Heirs
Episode 14
While I was eating with Lawyer Zhong
he told me a story about Lincoln solving a problem.
Lincoln asked the witness, he asked "It was midnight
how could you clearly see the Defendant's face?"
The witness said, "The moonlight was very bright."
"It was shining on the Defendant's face."
So he could clearly see the criminal's face
After analyzing the testimony, Lincoln
determined the witness was lying.
This testimony is fake and made up. Do you know...
Why did Lincoln have this conclusion?
Because, that night didn't have moonlight?
It rained.
Your reasoning is right, your answer is wrong
I really don't know.
Lincoln's thought was
It was first quarter moon on October 18th.
By 11 o'clock at night, the moon has already set. There's no way there was moonlight.
Then there was no way the witness saw the Defendant's face.
Then the witness could chance his testimony.
He (could) said he remembered the time wrong and it was a few hours earlier.
The moon hadn't gone down yet, therefore there was moonlight.
Right, Lincoln's opponent also said this.
Lincoln said, that night
even if the moon was in the sky
you still wouldn't have been able to see the Defendant.
Why?
Let's say the witness remember the time wrong.
And move the time of crime a few hours ahead. The moon would still be on the west side.
The moon would be shining from the west.
If it shine on the defendant's face,
then the defendant's face is facing west.
Witness was standing more than 20 meters behind the Defendant
he wouldn't have been able to see the face.
If the Defendant had been facing the witness
Then the moon on the west side can only shine on the back of defendant's head.
The witness would not be able to see clearly
defendant's face who stood over 20 meter away.
So the witness couldn't possibly have seen if the criminal was the Defendant or
or someone else.
Wow. Brilliant!
Not just the analyzation
but also astronomy and and physical knowledge
Lincoln was really a big shot.
So, while you are analyzing this case
you must use all types of knowledge.
Sometimes just legal knowledge isn't enough.
I've heard about this story before.
But here we
only have brilliant sunlight, we don't have moonlight.
Is there sunshine in Sydney in August?
Let's look if we don't know.
Oh, right right right.
Witness
This is the photograph you gave to the court last time
From what you said.
On August 7th of this year, you took this picture in Australia.
This is after all the shareholders finished the meeting
and taken outside the house on the grass, right?
Yes.
I see everyone is wearing t-shirts
or short sleeves shirt.
Was it hot that day?
Umm, yes. I think it was.
Really?
Then how is it I searched
and that day's temperature was from 8 to 12 degrees (46 to 53 degrees Fahrenheit)
May I ask, is that cold or hot?
Hold on
It says the temperature is
2 to 8 celsius!
Even if there was sun, it would be very cold.
How could they be wearing short sleeves?
And taking picture outside?
Australia is in the southern hemisphere. Their seasons are the opposite of ours.
When we are having summer, they are having winter.
Judge.
There is no evidence on the temperature in Sydney that day.
I oppose defendant asking presupposition question.
What was the temperature August 7th in Sydney?
If you searched, you would know.
Witness
Please answer my question.
I don't know. I thought it was very hot.
[ Witness ]
Right, you're young. You health is fine.
Then, the rest of the shareholders?
I know that your father, Mr. Yao MeiShan, has asthma.
Would he wear a t-shirt in that kind of weather and take pictures?
8 degrees (46 degrees) isn't that cold.
Okay.
Second question,
Is Christmas in Australia in summer or winter.
Definitely in summer.
Since the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere's seasons are opposite.
Your Christmas is in winter, ours is in summer.
You're right. Let's put up the picture and take a look.
So it's impossible for August in Australia to be summer.
This looks just like Santa Claus.
Also here.
Yes, the season is the opposite.
Christmas
So this photo definitely wasn't taken in August,
it had to be taken around Christmas.
That is right. Those people are lying.
You're amazing! You found this out! You're amazing!!
Thank you.
No problem, no problem.
Witness,
Do you see this person? Who is he?
Santa Claus.
Then the lights along both side of the roads are...
It's Christmas lights.
Ah.
Judge,
So at this point it should be sometime around Christmas.
But you said just said that it was taken August 7th.
Then
it can be said that Australia celebrates Christmas in August?
With this information, in December two years ago
because you applied for investment immigration, so all of your share holders
went to Australia.
Even better, it was Christmas season.
It's also this place's summer.
If I haven't made a mistake,
this was taken two years ago in December
and not August 7th of this year, right?
Mr. Xie Fei in June of this month,
donated some supplies and clothing.
In the item list, there was Mr. Xie Fei
was the Armani shirt that is in the picture.
Then, I want to ask, how is it that this August 7th
he could wear it and take this picture?
Witness,
I want to advise you, this is a court of law.
You are a witness.
You are legal responsible.
Also, it's possible you could go to jail.
Go to jail?
I want to ask one more time,
when was this picture taken?
De...
Last Christmas.
Then what about the share holder meeting?
was it this August 7th?
No. This year, everyone went to Sydney
in August in order to celebrate Teng Chen Corp invested a local mine company.
we didn't have a meeting.
So when was it signed?
It was 3 days after Brother-in-law Xie died.
They all signed and waited for me to come from Sydney.
Who made you sign?
It was Brother-in-law Xie.
It was Mr. Xie Feng?
Yes.
Then Xie Fei had already died,
then how did he sign the paper?
I heard Brother-in-law Xie say
he has several empty paper my older uncle already signed.
So, it should be him.
Thank you.
The aura he gave out when he was standing in the court
are much better than me in my younger days.
For sure. A capable young man from a distinguished family.
He has inherited my genes.
Ke Ming
When do you plan on telling him?
This needs to take one's time making a decision. (idiom -- to consider at length.)
In any case, my business has a son to take over now.
I am happy now.

Zheng Hao
I know who helped you behind the scenes, it was Zhong Ke Ming right?
Your plaintiff side has evidence with flaw. No one can turn fault into truth, right?
Zheng Hao
Don't celebrate too early!
Why shouldn't we be celebrating? We won the case.
Ok. See what you guys will say to Xue Han Zhi when you go back.
- Is Director Xue in? - Yes, he is at the conference room.
Timing and subtitles brought to you by the Gone With The Shirt Team @ Viki
Director Xue
(Resignation)
What does this mean?
Director Xue,
Thank you for the many years of care and promotion.
but out points of view are different.
So, I've decided to leave.
This is my resignation.
ZhenG Hao, sit down.
No need.
I know. You are in the prime of youth and want to win cases.
There is nothing wrong with that. But...
Sometimes, things aren't as simple as you think.
Look, you've been a lawyer for 3 years
What you have learned from the law school.
they are all things on the surface, what is needed in the real world?
There is no use for it.
Fine
sometimes
We need to learn how to adapt.
So all lawyers should be like you?
Give up your integrity for money.
Because of money, sell out your own employees
Zheng Hao
Don't put whatever titles you like on me.
Saying this is illegal.
I've never sold out my employees. I've never sold you out.
Quite the opposite, I've done everything in my power to help you.
What is going on with the long-term retainer contract between you and Xie Feng?
This has never been a secret transaction.
The court has determine that new company rule to be effective.
Xie Feng then think he is in charge of Tian Cheng Corp.
Right? So he show a friendly hand toward us voluntarily
and sign a legal agreement with us, Tian He Law Office.
The court has not yet gave out sentence officially and our client has not yet decide to settle.
Fine, we shouldn't talk about this. Even saying it clearly doesn't have meaning.
Wait! Stop right there!
Let me tell you Zheng Hao
If it wasn't for you Father sending you here,
I wouldn't have wanted you.
That was your fault so he lost his licence.
It's you that owed him.
Who said that?
Zhong Ke Ming? It was definitely Zhong Ke Ming that said that.
Back then he said that about me. It's been so many years, but he's still saying it?
This is framing! It's a lie!
Then tell me,
what happened between the two of you?
Say it!
Those were in the past. I am too lazy to explain to you.
Come back. Where are you going? Where are you going?
I know, you're going to find Zhong Ke Ming.
You are going to Hai Ming Law Firm, right?
You think Zhong Ke Ming is a good person. Let me tell you, Zhong Ke Ming is
the biggest hypocrite in this world.
Hey, I made your favorite Italian pasta!
Brother Bo! Couldn't you make something nice for me and my health?
I cooked, I'm also tired okay.
I really didn't think
the day that you win, you would quit.
These types of dramatic events really happen.
But from the career standpoint, you have offended your boss.
I can only say that your boss has eyes but fail to see. (Idiom -- fail to recognize a thing for what it is)
From the lawyer's standpoint, you have done a great job.
So I have cooked a few dishes to celebrate and also show my sympathy,
Okay?
Anyway, no matter how Xue Han Zhi belittle me,
it won't work on me. Through this case, I am very confident of myself.
From now, no matter what the case, I won't be afraid.
Case from where? You already quit.
What case makes you scared?
Right, Dai Bo what should I do?
You already know my suggestion.
It's already like this, come to Hai Ming Law Firm.
Lawyer Zheng, could be going to Hai Ming Law Firm
If you want him to keep representing you, you can go see him.
Lawyer Tang, I'm sorry.
I don't want to continue on the law suit.
You don't know. On my desk, there are full of resignation letters.
And there are several hundred employees standing in front of the company asking for their pay checks.
The whole company is a mess. There are only my sons and me.
I have no idea how to face it.
Xie Feng lost the case and ended up using this kind of trick.
I... I am really tired.
Also, Xie Feng said all of the stocks will only make a little money
I don't think that's enough, I'm going to sell it all.
So I took on this case was pointless.
But.. there are full of resignation letters on my desk now.
And there are hundred of employees in front of my door asking for their pay checks.
I really can't stand it any more.
That must be Xie Feng's doing.
If you back down now, he would get what he wants.
What we have done was pointless.
It was not all pointless.
At least, Xie Feng is willing to add another 100 million. (US$ 15 million)
Do you think this isn't a money problem?
I know, I know.
I really can't withstand any longer.

Director Zhong
Thank you for coming to Hai Ming Law Firm, today we'll sit and drink some tea.
Director Zhong, I first want to thank you.
But, I don't think I can work at Hai Ming Law Firm
Why not?
I know with my ability, there is no way I could have get into Hai Ming Law Office.
So I've decided
What are you thinking, Zheng Hao?
Director Zhong's has already brought you-
For young people, support is enough.
Fine, I'll give you some time. This is a good idea.
Okay.
Why aren't you saying anything?
Are you not happy working at Tian He Law Firm?
Or is it since I left, you can't do anything?
Hey, I'm serious
Why not come with me to Hai Ming Law Firm?
We can fight together.
I'm not going.
Let me help you analyze a little
Right now I've won a very large case, this is very important to lawyers.
You need a good plate form to spread your wings.
Think about it. Don't waste your great
you have the talent, right?
Dai Bo, you lied to me again.
What happened?
You promise me to invite Zheng Hao out for me. Did you forget?
I didn't forget
It's because right now his temperament isn't very good, I haven't talked to him about it.
His temperament is bad? What happened to him?
He fought with his boss, yesterday he quit.
He quit?
It's no wonder that day he didn't want to talk.
Oh! He can come to Hai Ming Law Firm.
I can tell my dad he's my boyfriend
He (Dad) will definitely agree on having him (Zheng Hao) come.
You haven't told your dad about your relationship with Zheng Hao?
Nope.
-Hey Are you still trying to lie to me?
What now? How have I lied to you?
You kept it a secret that they had a close relationship.
Besides, they have more than normal relationship. You didn't even tell me.
You didn't ask me so why would I tell you?
Let me ask you this. You have always liked Tang Ning, right?
Did you admit it? That is it.
Right now, we are on the same team.
I am talking to you.
Same team?
I don't drink water. I am talking to you.
Look! You like Tang Ning. Tang Ning belongs to you.
I like Zheng Hao. Zheng Hao belongs to me.
So you have to help me to get Zheng Hao and so he is with me.
You are looking down on me.
Do you think I am that kind of people? Using this kind of method to go after Tang Ning?
I don't care what kind of people you are. At least you have to help me.
So... I will treat tonight. Why don't you invite Zheng Hao for me?
Alright?
I will help you to invite him. But you have to promise me one thing.
Tell me.
Don't tell him Tang Ning's relationship with Tang family.
Because Zheng Hao doesn't know Tang Ning is part of Tang family.
That is the best. I don't care about that cousin of mine.
Be careful. It's hot.
Brother Bo! Why did you have to drag me here?
It was me who wants to drag me here. Tang Jing told me
you promise her that you will show up any time whenever she called.
But you didn't.
It was not like that.
I don't care what it was like.
Brother Bo.
Here.
Hi.
I have brought you the man.
You promise to drink with me.
Why didn't you refuse to see me without finish the drink and you won't even take my call?
I did promise you but
you didn't say how long.
How can you play trick and lie to me?
It is wrong of you to use the word trick.
Right? We didn't sign the date on the contract.
Right? So how can you accuse of me not fulfill my contract?
Fine. Since I got you today. You drink with me.
Alright?
3 glasses.
2...2... 2 glasses.
- What are you doing? - Brother Bo can't drink.
- Brother, you drink juice. - Sure.
Just you and I drink.
A big man drinking juice! So feminine. No way!
What are you talking about?
I can't drink. Who will take you home later when you two are drunk?
I have to drive and take you guys home.
You drink it all up.
Alright! Alright. Let's drink.
- Waiter!- Coming!
One glass for you. One glass for me.
No matter what, I have to thank you again.
Helping me on Liang Yu' case
A such a big help.
Your kindness, your big brother I will
remember it in my heart. No matter who bully you in the future,
whatever you need, you will be there for you.
Wait!
What do you mean big brother? I don't need big brother. I need boyfriend.
Then.. I can't help you on that.
Why?
I want you to be my boyfriend.
Next life.
You should born a few years earlier.
What the... Never mind. Let's drink instead.
Bottoms up! Bottoms up!
Anyone?
Is there anyone?
Coming.
- What's wrong? - Auntie.
Walk slowly.
I am fine.
Sit down.
Daddy.
I am home.
Why did you drink so much? Are you like a lady at all?
What do you mean a lady?
I am not Tang Ning. Pretending to be good. I don't know how.
Look at what you just said.
Won't you look at the mirror! Your eyes are dull and completely drunk.
You don't need to go to business dinner right now.
Why did you drink so much?
I don't need to make money. Besides,
we need to learn from the US.
We should find specialist to manage the company. Unlike Chinese.
We are Chinese.
We are open for over 30 years now. Which country is like us?
Learning form foreigners?
Spendthrift's theory!
- What do you mean spendthrift? - Look at yourself.
Spendthrift?
Spending several million dollars to buy a bar. (US$ 150,000)
Lost every week and every month.
Who would ever sell liquor and not taking money?
That's my friends and I having fun.
I can make the money back. It was just for fun.
How old are you?
How long would you be partying?
I just like to partying. What is wrong to be liking to party?
You dare to talk back to me?!
I only stepped out for a minute. What is going on with you two?
You drank too much.
- Auntie Wong! - Coming.
- You! You! - I will go get her some water.
- Okay. Hurry and take her upstairs. Be careful. - Look at that!
- Why would I have a daughter like you? - Help her and wash up.
- Stop yelling! - Hurry and go. - Whatever!
- From inside out, there is no where you look like me. - Enough!
What do you mean? What do you mean?
Do you mean all our daughter's shortcoming are like me?
Do you mean that?
Look at it! Look at it!
When I try to give our daughter a lesson, you have to try to protect her.
How can we educate our kid?
No! No!
Ke Ming. I discover that you have been picking bones with our daughter lately.
You always disapprove of her. What's wrong with you?
What is going on with you? Tell me.
You were not like that in the past.
In the past, she was still young.
Now, she is older. She needs to be more responsible.
Old? She is only 24-year-old.
Go outside and look at the 24-year-old.
There are lots of young men and women don't know much.
Besides, out daughter didn't commit a crime and break the law.
She only open a bar. What is wrong to party a little?
Let me tell you. I will make this straight with you.
Once she is married and have kids, she will be more responsible for sure.
Right now. Tang Ye Group is big and famous.
Outsider are eyeing us covetously.
Right now, no one has said about the stuff with Xiao Ning.
Once it was spread...
Enough. Don't talk about spreading.
I have already talked to Xia Yun. When she came home,
she would talk with Xiao Ning. She would answer any of her questions.
If Xiao Ning ask about Gao Huai Yi and she couldn't stand the questioning.
She is preparing to admit to it.
I have already told you guys.
Truth needs to come out.
About Gao Huai Yi, if we can't hide it any longer,
we still need to tell her. Then Xiao Ning won't have anything to say.
Xia Yun already said.
About Gao Huai Yi, she can only tell the first half of the story.
She would not admit to the second half of story even if her daughter force her.
I don't care which part she admits.
No matter what, we can't drag this on any longer.
The man on the photograph is named Gao Huai Yi?
He is your boyfriend?
Aunt and uncle used him as an advantage against you
and forced you to sell your shares at a low price, is that right?
Mum,
tell me the truth.
I won't blame you.
I also won't fight with aunt for the shares.
I only want to know the truth.
Ning,
do you really have to embarrass your mother?
It's just the both of us.
Then if I say it all, you won't blame me, would you?
I'll be able to understand you.
My dad
was in a vegetative state for ten years. You too, needed someone to care for you.
It's not like that, Ning.
Actually, before I married your dad,
I was Tang Ye Corporation's Finance Department's Accountant.
Gao Huai Yi is the Finance Department's Manager.
It wasn't long before we fell in love.
You two were in love first?
He was my first love.
Then there was one day, your dad came to the Finance Department in search of someone.
Then there was only me in the department. He saw that I was young and pretty,
and liked me.
On the second day, he transferred me from the Finance Department
to his office to be his personal secretary.
He stuck by me everyday and insisted that I marry him.
Didn't you tell him that you have boyfriend?
I did. But that was of no use.
Your dad was overbearing. He even found people to beat Gao Huai Yi
and threatened him that if he continued to be with me,
he would be sacked from his position of Finance Manager.
Why could dad be like this?
You don't understand men. They are all very selfish.
Especially when they are vying for the women they like.
They are all crazy.
What happened after?
After that, I married your dad.
I really married him.
Because at that time, I was pregnant with you.
What about Gao Huai Yi?
He was scared after the beating.
He left the company.
Ning,
actually your mum,
I think, has led quite a miserable life.
After just about two months after marrying your dad and
you were not even four months along,
your dad suddenly had a grave illness and was hospitalised.
After emergency treatments for months, he was able to survive,
but he became a vegetable.
Before his death, he was on the hospital bed for ten years.
During that time, didn't Gao Huai Yi search for you?
He was always searching for me.
He said he didn't marry because he was waiting for me.
Then because he was always looking for you,
that aunt and uncle foud out?
It wasn't only them who found out,
your grandmother found out about it too.
Your grandmother is a capable woman.
On the second day of your dad's death, she said
she'll either break Gao Huai Yi and my legs, or
I'll transfer the shares to your aunt,
bring you away and scram from Tang family and
elope with Gao Huai Yi.
How could grandmother be like this?
Afterall, I'm still her granddaughter.
If the shares were under your name, it woud mean that it belongs to me.
Because I was your guardian.
Your grandmother's view was that the Tang's family shares must only remain in the Tang family.
She thinks I'm an outsider.
I was alone, how could I fight against them?
I had no choice but to accede.
Do you regret?
Regret?
I don't regret.
I can't win them and I don't wish to fight.
Let the past remain as the past.
Ning, you must also think
that as a woman, why would I want so many shares?
Can I manage the company?
You too, if your aunt and uncle gave you the shares,
can you manage the company? Can you manage Tang Ye Corporation?
Why didn't you and Gao Huai Yi become a couple thereafter?
I-
I only knew thereafter,
that Gao Huai Yi was also lying to me.
Before your dad passed away,
he has already married.
He even has a child.
Aunt, I'm sorry I'm late.
That's alright.
Ning,
you've been back for many days now and you havn't had a real talk with aunt.
You promised me that you'll come home to eat.
I've waited for so many days,
you never came home, how do you make aunt feel?
Aunt, you must not be meeting me for this.
Do you have anything important to say to me?
Yes, it is very important.
About your dad's will,
Here,
I would like to apologise to you.
How do I put it,
Ning, actually you and Jing,
are equal in aunt's heart.
In the world of love and affection,
what is there that's hard to communicate?
Aunt,
I'm sorry, it's my fault.
No, don't be sorry.
You are not wrong.
I just wanted to say,
Ning, are we a family?
A family, we have love and affection.
If there is love,
then is there anything that cannot be solved? Don't you think so?
Actually I've been thinking a lot the past few days,
yes, there is nothing more important than kinship.
About the share transfer agreement-
About the share transfer agreement,
I will sign the confirmation letter.
