The strongest lawyer's road to wealth, rebirth to buy a house and a car

Chapter 154: The court session, the scumbag’s routine

Wu Min's lawsuit for divorce and division of marital property went to court as scheduled, and Jiang Xinxin arranged for a free practicing lawyer to accompany Lu Mingjun.

The divorce case was quite special, as both Wu Min and her scumbag husband appeared in court.

Mediation is a necessary procedure in the divorce litigation process.

However, as Lu Mingjun and Wu Min expected, the scumbag readily agreed to Wu Min's request for divorce as soon as the mediation began.

However, when it came to dividing the property, the two sides had major disagreements.

The scumbag threw out a stack of IOUs, saying that these were all the losses from his recent investments.

The entire court could hear the scumbag crying and complaining: "What can I do? Wu Min wants to live a good life. If she wants to go home, there will be an aunt to cook for her. If she wants to go out, there will be a special car to pick her up. As a man, I can only go out and invest and work hard..."

When Wu Min heard this, she was so angry that she wanted to curse on the spot.

The scumbag's tears can still move many people. At least one of the jurors had red eyes at this moment.

"Now my investment has failed and I can't give her the life she wants. She wants to divorce me, but I can't do anything about it." The scumbag continued to perform. He cried to Wu Min affectionately: "Xiao Min, just like the song says, my last love for you is to let you go. But I really don't have the money to pay off so much foreign debt. This is our common debt!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Wu Min stood up angrily and cursed, "You're just talking nonsense..."

The presiding judge knocked the gavel unkindly, and then said to Wu Min: "Please pay attention, this is a court!"

When Wu Min was about to say something, Lu Mingjun stopped her and explained to the presiding judge: "I'm sorry, your honor, my client has a rather straightforward personality."

The presiding judge nodded and said, "Lawyer Lu, please pay attention to the client's emotions!"

Then, the presiding judge turned to the defendant and said, "Defendant, are these IOUs that you just submitted going to be submitted to the court as evidence?"

The scumbag's attorney, Qin Fei, nodded and said, "Yes, your Honor."

The presiding judge looked at Qin Fei with a burning gaze, and then said, "Lawyer Qin is also an experienced lawyer. He should know that evidence submission should be done during the court investigation phase, right?"

Qin Fei lowered his head and did not respond to the presiding judge's questions at all.

The presiding judge glanced at Qin Fei again, and then said: "Since both parties agree to divorce, let's end the court mediation process and directly enter the court investigation phase."

"Plaintiff, please submit your evidence."

Lu Mingjun stood up and handed the prepared evidence to the clerk, who then passed it to the presiding judge and the other party.

After everyone had received the materials, Lu Mingjun began to speak: "The first set of evidence submitted by the plaintiff is a set of photos of the defendant and a third party checking into a hotel together, screenshots of the plaintiff and the defendant's WeChat chats, etc., to prove that the defendant had an extramarital affair and that the relationship between the plaintiff and the defendant had broken down."

"The second set of evidence submitted by the plaintiff was obtained from the People's Bank of China and various commercial banks. It contains information on all bank accounts held by the plaintiff and the defendant during the period of their marriage, as well as information on changes in account balances. This set of evidence is used to prove that the plaintiff and the defendant had no other obvious large-scale capital flows except for a bank mortgage loan."

After finishing speaking, Lu Mingjun did not continue speaking. The only sounds left in the courtroom were the presiding judge and two jurors looking through the evidence.

Wu Min looked at Lu Mingjun in confusion and asked in a low voice: "Why is the remaining evidence useless?"

Lu Mingjun shook his head and said, "It's not time yet."

Wu Min opened his mouth in confusion, but in the end, he said nothing.

After the presiding judge finished looking through the evidence, he asked, "Do you have any additional evidence to add?"

Lu Mingjun: "No more, Judge."

The presiding judge then said to the defendant: "Defendant, please cross-examine the evidence just submitted by the plaintiff!"

Qin Fei then smiled and said, "Regarding the first set of evidence submitted by the plaintiff, let my client explain it to the plaintiff."

Hearing this, the scumbag looked at Wu Min with his greasy eyes and said, "Xiao Min, if you had told me earlier, you misunderstood me because of these things, I would have explained it to you a long time ago!"

Then, the scumbag pointed to the photo of him hugging another woman and walking towards the hotel, and said, "Look, the girl's house is being renovated. I know the curtains of this hotel are particularly good. Take her to see the curtains!"

As soon as the scumbag finished speaking, the whole place fell silent.

As a man, even the presiding judge couldn't help but praise him in his heart: What a talent!

Wu Min's hands were shaking with anger: "Look at the curtains. There are so many hotels, and you take people to look at curtains every day! You even put your arm around people's waists when you look at curtains!"

The scumbag smiled self-indulgently and said, "What do you mean by hugging or not? The angle of your photo is not good. If you change the angle, won't you not be hugging? Besides, when someone renovates their home, they look at the curtains of this hotel today and the shower room of that hotel tomorrow. Isn't this normal?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Min stood up angrily and was about to rush to the dock.

Fortunately, Lu Mingjun pulled him back at the critical moment.

Wu Min was still loudly accusing: "Do you think I'm a fool or do you think everyone else is a fool..."

The presiding judge was quite sympathetic to Wu Min at the moment, but he had to knock the gavel and said, "Plaintiff, if you continue to make a scene in court like this..."

However, when he saw Wu Min slumped in the chair with lifeless eyes staring at the ceiling, the presiding judge did not continue speaking.

"Defendant, do you have any further comments on the evidence?"

Qin Fei hurriedly said: "Regarding the second set of evidence submitted by the plaintiff, I have no objection to its authenticity and legality, but I do have objections to its relevance. This thing has nothing to do with our case today!"

The presiding judge then asked, "Now, the defendant will present his evidence."

Qin Fei took out the stack of IOUs and said, "These are what we have to prove that the couple has no joint property, only joint debts."

Wu Min was about to speak again, but this time Lu Mingjun reacted quickly and patted Wu Min on the shoulder.

It was not until the presiding judge asked about the plaintiff's cross-examination that Lu Mingjun said, "The signature on the IOU submitted by the defendant was not signed by the plaintiff. In addition, the smallest amount in these IOUs is 500,000, and the largest amount is 1.2 million. However, there was no actual flow of funds after these IOUs were signed."

Upon hearing this, the scumbag added, “They all gave me cash!”

Lu Mingjun smiled and said, "More than one million in cash? If the defendant insists on this statement, then please provide the evidence for this part!"

The presiding judge also nodded in agreement and said, "Defendant, do you have any record of the lender withdrawing large amounts of cash during that period? Otherwise, how can you count such a large amount of funds as a debt when you can't even explain where it went?"
