Medalist Lawyer Heir
- Episode 31 -
Then what do you do usually?
Since Madam Li passed away,
old Mr Li had no one to take care of him. So,
I took care of his life.
Did their house not have a housekeeper?
No.
Old Mr Li is very odd, he was determined not to hire a housekeeper. So...
So, I moved into their house.
I mainly took care of his daily life.
That means, old Mr Li only had you and him in his house.
Old Mr Li had a stroke before, it's inconvenient for him to move.
If someone came to visit, would you be the one to answer the door?
You were the one to decide whether the person sees old Mr Li, right?
Objection! Your Honor,
my party opposes Attorney Tang using leading questions with presuppositions.
Then I'll change the question.
During the time you worked at a personal secretary in the Li house,
why didn't you let Li Sheng Li into the house when he wanted to go home?
Your Honor, this questions also involves a presupposition.
How could you confirm that Li Sheng Li has went home before?
Could Li Sheng Li not have went home?
We asked the management department in front of the professors' building.
Their monitor videos were all within the past two months.
So in these years,
we can't find out whether Li Sheng Li has gone home or not from the videos.
So we can only rely on your testimony.
I don't remember.
Do you not remember or Li Sheng Li has never returned home?
He has never returned home.
I have never seen him. In the home,
there were only me and old Mr Li.
If anyone came, I wouldn't have not known.
Li Sheng Li has said he returned home quite a few times in one year,
he was stopped at the door every time.
This...how could this be possible?
He is a strong man, I...how could I stop him?
You weren't alone.
Every time, you would find over thirty security guards against me.
Nonsense! You've never returned home!
- What are you trying to make up?- Your Honor.
Someone, come quick! Someone, come quick! He is committing physical assault!
He has beaten me up into this state. It was him!
Bring him to the police station!
- That's right! Take him to the police station!- What are you doing?! I want to see my Father!
- What are you doing?- It was you! It was you!
It was you!
I object! Your Honor, this video is new evidence.
The Plaintiff's Attorney made a sudden attack.
That's right. This is indeed new evidence.
But I didn't make a sudden attack.
Firstly, we had the court's investigation order.
Secondly, just like your party presented the newspaper in the morning,
our video evidence
was also brought by Lawyer Dai Bo from the police station.
Witness Yu Mi, do you still remember Li Sheng Li
being locked in the detention house?
I...I...I don't know.
Were you not the one who called the police?
I don't know. I can't remember either.
Alright then.
Then let me help you remember.
- Get out quickly!- I want to see my Father!
- I'm telling you, I'm going to yell if you still don't leave!- I want to see my Father!
You can't be like this! I want to see my Father!
What are you doing?! What are you doing?!
What a harass! Get out!
I want to return home! I want to see my Father!
You don't have the rights to stop me!
Why wouldn't I have the rights? I am controlling this house now!
- You're controlling?- What about it?
You're only a secretary! Our family's issues don't need you to control!
After your mom died, where have you gone when your dad got sick?
I was taking care of him all these years! Without me, he wouldn't be able to live to today!
I did return.
- I begged my Father to let me take care of him.- But he didn't let you!
- He doesn't acknowledge you as his son!- That's not right.
That's not right. He doesn't acknowledge me because I didn't write this book at the time.
But I wrote it now!
- It has also been published!- What rubbish book?
Why did you come back? Why did you only come back now?!
Do you think I don't know what you're hiding?
Don't you just think your dad's old books are worth a lot of money?
I'm telling you, your dad told me a long time ago,
- all of those belong to me!- What belongs to you?
- What? They belong to me!- Say that again!
What are you trying to do?! You're just trying to take our family's wealth and property!
I'm telling you, as the son, I will never agree!
What use is there if you disagree?!
I am his only family!
Keep dreaming!
Rubbish!
I'm telling you,
as long as I am here, don't you dream of coming back to this home!
Just you wait, I'm telling you,
- I...- I'm telling you,
I will move tomorrow. You will never see us again!
You dare?!
Someone is committing physical assault!
So?
Has the story I told evoke your memories?
Who told you? Was it Li Sheng Li?
He was entirely telling nonsense.
It wasn't just Li Sheng Li, we also have video footage.
This is impossible.
This is totally impossible.
This...this...this happened 9 years ago.
Looks like, you've remembered it.
That's right, this was indeed a story from 9 years ago.
Also, the cameras in front of the professors' building
has videoed it in its entirety.
What I need to specially thank you is,
you asked the management department to copy this footage as evidence for the police.
You used this copied footage to send Li Sheng Li into the police station.
For your injury on your forehead,
Li Sheng Li was locked up for 15 days.
Li Sheng Li was unlucky, but the gods are fair.
Who would think that the evidence you used back then for reporting to the police
would become the important evidence for today's case?
It proved that it wasn't Li Sheng Li who was unwilling to visit his father,
it was you who purposely prevented him.
It was all thanks to Brother Dai Bo and Zhou Tong finding the footage.
That was my work. How did the credit go to Judge Zhou and Lawyer Dai? This isn't fair.
Alright, we've given you doubled the money. What, do you want the money or the trophy?
Today, we've only won one small session. From what I see, Director Zhong will not back down easily.
When the hearing resumes, it will definitely be another war.
Lawyer Zhang.
I thought they didn't have enough evidence.
Didn't he say? The video footage can only be kept for two months.
It's been so many years. How could I remember about the police station?
Alright, alright. We won't be stuck on that.
I came to tell you Lawyer Zhong's views on the case.
This case isn't about you and Li Sheng Li's personal grudge.
It is about between the Law Research Institute or Li Sheng Li,
who can inherit Mr Li Tian Ran's property.
Therefore, resulting in a life or death war.
Because you lied as a witness, you became eliminated. That doesn't matter to you.
But the Law Research Institute could very possibly lose because of this.
The original plan must change.
We can't become grounded by whether Li Sheng Li has returned home
or whether he has gone to the hospital to visit his father.
That was all Lawyer Zhong said. Have you understood?
Then go back and prepare a bit. Wait for the court's word.
The video footage from the hospital is very long.
It has a total of 100 days of patient room monitoring footage. I couldn't finish watching it no matter what.
In the end, I became impatient. I reversed it,
I started watching from the last day.
The result was, I made a very important discovery.
What?
The footage a few hours before Li Tian Ran's death is gone.
I don't know what the reason is.
Gone?
The monitoring camera broke?
The court is now in session. Could the Defendant's Representative present your evidence.
Your Honor,
this case is Li Sheng Li
suing the Law Research Institute. What did he sue for?
He sued the Law Research Institute for violating
his rights to inherit Li Tian Ran's property.
So, there are two things for the court to judge.
Firstly, it is whether Li Sheng Li
the person to inherit Li Tian Ran's property.
Secondly, if he is,
then, it's whether the Law Research Institute has violated his rights.
Right now, we'll investigate the first question. The Plaintiff's party thinks that,
this case is about legal inheritance.
And Li Sheng Li is Li Tian Ran's only
and is the first order inheritor.
And nobody has raised any objection against this right of inheritance.
Even if in the last session, both parties had,
towards Li Tian Ran severing their father and son bond,
the old newspaper announcement's legal validity,
once raised a debate.
The court is already aware of this question.
Alright, then.
My part will disclose our perspective to the court.
I believe that, this case is about inheritance by will
and not legal inheritance.
Then, is Li Sheng Li
Li Tian Ran's legal inheritor?
Your Honor, from the start of the hearings until today,
it is the first time I've heard inheritance by will.
Indeed. Submitted to the court,
the evidence list did not mention this will.
Apologies. This will's paper document
was indeed not submitted to the court.
Your Honor, my party opposes the Defendant's party for doing this.
Looking at this so-called donated will,
it obviously isn't a new piece of evidence.
But the Defendant had to choose today to submit this.
This is unfair to the Plaintiff's party.
Attorney Tang, no need to feel anxious. Although this will's paper document
was not able to be submitted to the court in time, this will's
video footage has already been submitted to the court.
In that, there was not only a will, there was also
the whole process of Li Tian Ran signing the will.
If the court requires, I can ask my assistant
to play the footage for everyone to see.
Everyone could see very clearly.
Mr Li Tian Ran signed this will himself.
He gave his inheritance
to the Law Research Institute, where he worked for his whole life.
What opposing views do the Plaintiff's party have for this video evidence?
Your Honor,
my party needs some time to analyse this video footage.
So, we are applying for a deferred trial. Thank you.
This is not the reason for you to apply a deferred trial.
I have the footage, which I submitted to the court long ago.
We've also given it to you, the Plaintiff's party.
The Plaintiff's party didn't finish watching it, that is your own problem.
Moreover, even if it was played a few more times for you, it still can't change
the truth that old Mr Li signed this will.
Your Honor, I have a few questions I want to ask the Defendant's Attorney.
Attorney Zhong, may I ask what time the footage was from?
It was the 16th of October, 2014.
That means, it was the day old Mr Li passed away. Is that right?
It should be. This was around nine o'clock in he morning.
Then what about the footage in the afternoon? Footage in the night? Why are there none?
The Law Research Institute has also asked the hospital for them
but the hospital didn't agree to it.
Because when Mr Li Tian Ran passed away afterwards.
For respecting the deceased, the footage afterwards has been deleted.
What time did Mr Li Tian Ran pass away?
- It should be 16th of April...- According to the hospital's records,
old Mr Li passed away on the 16th of April, at ten past eleven at night.
From this time until twelve midday,
there was at least 11 hours of footage gone.
Your Honor, I request the court to immediately have the hospital
to present this deleted footage,
to preserve the wholeness of the evidence.
Your Honor.
My party requests for another deferred trial.
I object.
Attorney Zhong,
if your party purposefully delete the evidence
and not adjourn the court, how will this lawsuit be able to continue?
Timing and subtitles brought to you by the Gone With The Shirt Team @ Viki
Tang Ning, do you think the problem is in the deleted footage?
I also don't know. But there must be a problem with that footage.
What do you mean?
If the evidence was perfect, why didn't Zhong Ke Ming bring it out sooner?
Why did he have to hide it in 2400 hours,
100 days of magnanimous footage so that we can't find it?
Also, second question, how was old Mr Li's condition before he passed away?
Before he signed, was his mental condition clear?
My Father's mental condition is fine.
I remember...
I remember that night, there was a kind-hearted nurse,
who let me in by quietly opening the window.
I saw my Father.
He was very mentally aware.
He was also really excited when he saw me.
In the end, he gave me the will list.
On the letter he wrote for me,
he clearly wrote his own name.
Is this the one you're talking about?
That's right.
So the name was signed by your father before his death?
That's right. I'm certain.
This was written on the 31st of May, 2013. Why is it like this?
May...31st?
I am certain, this letter was signed by my Father before his death.
About why the written date is like this...
I really don't know.
Perhaps it was because old Mr Li moved into the hospital at the beginning of 2013,
then he finished writing the letter.
He signed his own name, wrote the date.
I've remembered.
My lunar birthday is 31st of May.
My Father remembered my birthday,
so he wrote a letter for me.
On the day before his death, when old Mr Li
saw you, before he gave you the letter,
he signed his name a second time?
Yes. He signed it in front of me.
Your mom once told me.
You...you've finally finished it now.
Yes.
It was published the second year after Mother passed away.
It's been 8 years?
Then why didn't you come back?
Yes...I once said, that you must write
a national level law monograph for me to forgive you.
But in my heart, I have already acknowledged you as my son again a long time ago.
I...I...I...I did come.
But Yu Mi and the security guards all chased me out.
This...
I wrote this letter for you.
In there, I've already signed it.
There's also a list.
The list has all of the historical relics and artefacts that I collected over my lifetime.
I will hand them all to you now.
That means, your father has also signed a will for you?!
It's also the newest.
Why didn't you tell us these details earlier?
If you didn't mention these details,
then...just looking at this evidence, who in court would believe this letter
was signed by old Mr Li?
The opposing part will also definitely object.
So we must think of a way to prove this letter
wasn't signed on 31st of May, but
was signed by your father before his death.
Serve him as he did unto us.
Zhong Ke Ming could use video footage as evidence, so can we.
A letter can also be used as evidence?
It can, but it must satisfy the conditions of a self-written will.
So we must find the deleted footage to use as evidence.
How did you know I was the nurse that looked after Li Tian Ran regularly?
It wasn't me.
It was her. She is very skilful.
In one glance, she could see from the monitoring footage,
recognising you at once.
Monitoring me?
It was mainly because when you yelled at me and Zheng Hao,
it left a very deep impression in me.
Although you had a mask on, your body shape
was very easy to identify. You're tall and you walk pigeon-toed. Easy to recognise, right?
You've really got me.
We haven't met for a year now, right?
From being Zheng Hao's assistance, you've become his boss now.
If you won over Zhong Ke Ming in this case,
you'll gain the most popularity in Shanghai.
By then, the clients looking for you will fill several streets.
Maybe not several streets, but they would at last fill Nan Jing Road.
You're speaking nonsense again.
When are you going to invite me to you two's wedding?
Soon, we'll notify you when the time comes. Remember to bring red pocket money.
I must give you two a big red pocket.
Enough with that, you.
Li Dan, I remember during Zhao Xiao Jing's case, you were in the obstetrics department,
why did you go to the in-patient department?
If it wasn't because I opened the window on the balcony for Li Sheng Li.
It broke the hospital's rules so they transferred me into the obstetrics department.
Your Honor, my party requests for the court to summon witness Li Dan to testify.
Your Honor, objection.
My party opposes this new witness.
- She is a new witness.- She is a witness,
but she has appeared within the video footage your party presented.
At the same time, she has also appeared in
the footage the delayed footage from the hospital, which my party submitted to court.
So, she is a key winess.
Could the witness Li Dan please enter court.
Your Honor, may I ask questions?
Witness Li Dan,
what did you see on the morning in Li Tian Ran's patient room?
At the time, it was Law Research Institute's Yu Mi and Doctor Zhuang Chao Lin.
They woke old Li when they came in.
Your Honor, please watch the screen.
Old Li, Old Li. Wake up, Old Li.
The patient's head was hurting for the whole day, he just fell asleep. Don't shout.
Watch him closely. He won't be able to hold on for more than a few days.
Old Li, there's a document here. Just sign it.
- What is it? Let me sign it.- That's right.
Didn't we agree last time?
I've read through it, just sign.
No need, no need. No need, come. Get up.
Witness Li Dan, as the witness,
when Old Mr Li signed the document,
did he read the document's content?
No.
Then did anyone read the content to him?
No.
Can I think this,
when Old Mr Li signed the document, he didn't know the content of the document
because he didn't wear his glasses and couldn't see?
He couldn't see and didn't see either.
What she's saying is not right. The will of donation,
Old Li saw it three years ago, he completely agreed.
You're saying that,
this will and the donation letter from three years ago was the same,
saying that half of the artefacts belongs to you, right?
Yu Mi is an audience. For this section of truth,
a person from the Law Research Institute should explain it.
Your Honor.
With the words just spoken by Yu Mi, I would like to ask her another question,
to allow the court to further understand the truth.
Everything I say is the truth. Be ready to ask.
If Old Mr Li saw this document three years ago
and also agreed, why did he not sign it that year but signed it just before his death?
There is only one reason.
It was because he didn't agree with it.
He agreed with it.
He only wanted to wait a bit more.
Wait for what?
To wait for his son.
If his son didn't come back...
I understand.
So you kept preventing Li Sheng Li from returning home because you knew that, once his son came back,
Old Mr Li wouldn't sign this document. Is that right?
That's not right! I can explain.
- You don't need to explain.- You can't explain.
- You're not the witness right now.- Because Li Sheng Li has returned.
Timing and subtitles brought to you by the Gone With The Shirt Team @ Viki
That's right. On that night, Li Sheng Li returned.
Your Honor, please watch the screen again.
I wrote this letter for you.
In there, I've already signed it.
There's also a list.
The list has all of the historical relics and artefacts that I collected over my lifetime.
I will hand them all to you now.
In the footage that the Defendant party provided, this part was deleted.
The reason was because my litigant, Li Sheng Li, had also got hold of a will.
Also, this will was the most recent version.
Witness Li Dan, in the footage just then,
in the situation where Li Tian Ran acknowledged his son, does it match with truth?
It does. I was also there that night during dinner time.
It was me who opened the balcony window
to let Li Sheng Li enter to see his father.
Did you see Old Mr Li Tian Ran give the letter and property list
to Li Sheng Li?
Yes.
At the time, he also told Li Sheng Li,
"I've signed my name. The things will be handed to you."
So, did you see Old Mr Li sign his name?
Yes.
Li Dan, let me ask you.
When Li Tian Ran signed, was he mentally aware?
I saw that he was normal.
As a nurse,
do you have the qualifications to make conclusions on patients' body and conditions?
No.
Then that means, you can't evaluate,
at six o'clock that night,
which is 5 hours before Li Tian Ran died, when he signed his name,
whether he was mentally aware. Is that right?
Yes.
Zheng Hao.
Hao.
If you're willing to leave Tang Ning, I am willing to lose this case.
Firstly, who wins or loses in this case,
it's not determined by you or me.
Secondly, about Tang Ning and me,
it's not determined by you even more so.
The court debate shall begin now.
Could the Plaintiff's Representative present the Attorney's opinion.
Your Honor, Collegial Panel,
this case has two meaningful points.
Firstly, from the beginning of this case,
both parties did not mention that this was a case of inheritance by will.
Therefore, our point of argument at the time was that,
under the law of inheritance, Li Sheng Li,
as the only inheritor, whether he was able to
and whether he should inherit his father's property. Why is that, when there is obviously a will,
and both parties had a copy but nobody said a word of it?
My party didn't mention it because my party didn't know.
Because the Defendant party purposefully deleted that footage.
But the Defendant knew there was a will, yet they didn't mention it.
My party didn't know and was not in the situation to assume.
In the end, on the last day of the hearing,
the Defendant suddenly threw
a so-called will of donation.
Inheritance by law suddenly became inheritance by will.
If my party didn't find out that the footage was deleted,
then this case would have finished a long time ago.
After we forced the footage of the last few hours to be given out,
our point of argument then became,
between the two wills, which one was more superior.
Very obviously, both wills had Old Mr Li's signature.
Neither has been notarized.
From the view of legal validity, both wills are equal.
Between two equally legal valid wills,
which one is more superior?
That would depend on time.
Which of the will's time was more recent?
That also means, the closer it was to the testator's death,
the more reliable it is.
Old Mr Li Tian Ran
died at ten past eleven o'clock, on the 16th of April, 2014.
Looking at the footage, the time when the first will was signed,
it should be around nine o'clock in the morning.
And the time when the second will was signed,
it should be around six o'clock in that evening.
Looking at the time,
on the point of validity superiority,
the second will that Li Sheng Li has possession of
is more effective.
Just then Attorney Tang just mentioned, the condition of time
and effectiveness of validity could be
the only way to determine superiority.
Logically, that's right.
But looking at reality,
there are a lot to argue.
For example, who knew
when a person is facing their death,
whether if the testator is in a state of mental awareness.
If a situation like the aforementioned has happened,
then, the will that was signed the very last
could often become ineffective.
And the will that Li Sheng Li possesses
could very possibly be in that category.
Your Honor, we don't know why Attorney Zhong would make such a conclusion.
Looking at the footage, on the day before Old Mr Li Tian Ran died,
he was not muddled and delirious.
Instead, he was very aware. He could see, speak and write.
Also, from the court's investigation,
the witness's testimony has already proved,
that on the day Old Mr Li passed away,
he was very mentally aware.
But the hospital's very last checkup report
was done on 15th of April, 2014.
Who can guarantee that Old Mr Li Tian Ran
did not have sudden conditions happen to him on the very last day?
Your Honor, if Attorney Zhong
claims that on the very last day, Old Mr Li Tian Ran, because of
sudden conditions lead to mental deliriousness,
then the responsibility to provide evidence is not on my party, but on the Defendant's party.
Let's say the Defendant could prove this point,
then what would happen?
That means, the two wills both signed on the 16th of April,
would, because of Old Mr Li Tian Ran,
become ineffective because of losing his cognition.
Then this case will return to the first step,
inheritance by law. In a situation of inheritance by law,
all of Old Mr Li Tian Ran's property,
Now is an important moment in our country's governance by law.
Everyone has to state ideas according to laws.
Every right is protected equally.
Our court won't use the litigants' identity,
but use the truth and law to make a judgement.
Your Honor.
Before the judgement is made, I hope to get a chance
to read Mr Li Sheng Li's
letter that he wrote to his father that year.
"Father,
"you must allow me to address you this way, please.
"Although I know,
"there is no use to say sorry in this moment,
"I hope to use this chance
"to lessen the guilt in my heart.
"Father,
"I've just received the admission letter.
"I've finally got into the Eastern China Law School of postgraduate master's degree class.
"It is as you hoped. My main study focus is professionalism in civilian law.
"Dad, I know I still have a long, long road to walk.
"I might even need to put in a lifetime's effort
"to be able to write what you required,
"the law monograph to be able to be your son again.
"But whether you acknowledge me or not,
"and no matter when
"you would allow me to call you Dad in front of you again,
"in my heart,
"I have always called you Father.
"Dad, I think that father and son
"may be the oddest relationship in humans.
"The relationship of the father and son is forever connected by blood.
"But between them, there is a natural sense of rivalry.
"The feelings from the son to father is often
"to be respectful and submissive, but also cautious and fearful.
"Whether it was on purpose or not, the dignity of being a father
"has often made the son
"worried all day, careful and cautious.
"This feeling of unease
"prevents the son from relaxing,
"indulging or causing trouble.
"So, the result is rebellion.
"Sons in their teenage years will often find a kind of
"way to go against, to resist their fathers' wishes.
"In the end, when the son grows up,
"which one wouldn't remember
"for their fathers' their great and brilliant envy,
"admire and subdue?
"The feelings between father and son
"can't be replaced by anything.
"It has been ironclad to pass on for generations,
"because in the son's blood,
"the father's genes are flow.
"They have the blood and familial bond,
"with the burden of responsibility and hope,
"enduring the happiness, sadness and worries,
"full of love and warmth. This is,
"the maintenance principle of the father and sons' relationship.
"A never changing truth.
"Dad,
"the father will never abandon the son and the son will never leave the father.
"Whether you acknowledge me or not,
"I will definitely bring my law monograph
"to come before you and repent."
This is Mr Li's repentance.
It is also repentance from the son to father.
I believe everyone here,
whether you're someone else's father
or someone else's son,
you should be able to understand the feelings between the father and son.
I also have an Old Mr Li Tian Ran's final
letter written to his son.
I will read one sentence from it.
"Son, where are you?
"Come back.
"How could a father abandon his son?
"How could he possibly hate you for life? Come back,
"my son."

Mr Li, the court has sentenced to give your father's property to you. What will you do with it?
I don't have much to say. Just one thing,
I am thankful for the court's justice.
- It was the court who helped me find my Father.- Lawyer Tang,
this is our Ning Ning Office's first big case.
A quick win soon after the opening.
That's right. It was a very brilliant win.
Tomorrow, word of your reputation will spread.
How long will I have to work as an assistant?

♫ The difference between red and black is only one thin line ♫
♫ Blazing regret is better than freezing perfection ♫
♫ I take one step forward and stand on the periphery of blackness ♫
♫ A pile of gray stained the edges of my shoes ♫
♫ The difference between love and hate is only one thin line ♫
♫ A clear end is worse than false lies ♫
♫ I take one step backward and say my farewells to hate ♫
♫ The sound of the word “forever” stabbed my heart ♫
♫ Never tell me “forever” ♫
♫ It is just a notion to fool people ♫
♫ Who can promise that they’ve never used this word before? ♫
♫ In the end, they blame the long night for never seeing the next day ♫
♫ Never believe anybody when they say “forever” ♫
♫ It is just an alluring mask ♫
♫ Who can promise that they’ve never heard this word before? ♫
♫ That is only a story found in legends ♫
♫ The world is constantly changing, as are the winds and clouds ♫
♫ I clearly know the danger, yet I’ve fallen for it once again ♫
♫ Never say “forever” ♫
