After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

"Mr. Xiang, Mr. Yan, the lawsuit against Ronghui Group will be heard today." Lawyer Lin said in a heavy tone, placing the documents in his hand on the table. "The other lawyer is very difficult to deal with, so we must be mentally prepared."

"Ronghui?" Yan Jin frowned slightly, recalling the name, "Is it the company that has been trying to poach our technical backbones and maliciously spread rumors about our company?"

"That's right." Xiang Yu took over the conversation, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, "It seems that they can't wait to compete with us in court."

Three hours later, the atmosphere in the courtroom was solemn. Xiang Yu and Yan Jin sat side by side in the plaintiff's seat, looking calm. The opposing lawyer was aggressive and asked a series of sharp questions in an attempt to weaken their evidence. "Mr. Xiang, you accuse our company of stealing trade secrets. What evidence do you have?"

"We have obtained Ronghui Group's internal email exchanges, technical document comparisons, and testimonies from relevant personnel." Lawyer Lin responded calmly and handed the prepared documents to the judge. "These are enough to prove our point."

"These emails and documents can be forged, and the testimonies can be instigated by others. They are not sufficient to constitute direct evidence!" The opposing lawyer pressed on.

In the courtroom, many reporters were talking quietly and flash cameras were flashing, pushing this business dispute to the forefront of public opinion. Lawyer Lin was calm and made a well-reasoned rebuttal. He quoted legal provisions and combined case analysis to resolve each of the opponent's doubts one by one. The two sides exchanged sharp words, and the atmosphere in the courtroom was tense several times.

"Silence!" Judge Liu banged the gavel and stared at both parties with a serious expression. "Both the prosecution and the defense remain calm. Please continue..." He paused for a moment and looked at the document in his hand. "Regarding this crucial evidence..."

Judge Liu had a serious expression, listened carefully to the statements of both parties, and took notes on the documents from time to time. His sharp eyes swept over everyone in the courtroom, as if he wanted to see through all the disguises.

"This crucial evidence..." He picked up the document again and examined it carefully. "Was it provided by someone within your company?"

"Yes, Your Honor," Lawyer Lin replied respectfully, "This witness is willing to take the risk and provide us with evidence that is sufficient to prove Ronghui Group's illegal behavior."

"Call the witnesses!" Judge Liu gave the order, and the courtroom suddenly fell silent.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the witness stand, and a slightly thin figure came up. He looked nervous, but his eyes were firm. He was a former technician of Ronghui Group.

"Please tell the truth about everything you know." Lawyer Lin guided the witness.

The witness took a deep breath and began to describe how he participated in stealing the trade secrets of the Xiang Group while working at Ronghui Group. He described in detail the time, place, people and specific operation methods. Every word he said was like a heavy bomb, exploding in the courtroom.

The opposing lawyer would not sit still and wait for death. He seized on the details in the testimony and tried to find loopholes to refute it. However, the witness was well prepared, and he responded calmly and resolved all the doubts one by one.

"Mr. Yan, can you explain why your company's core technology could be stolen so easily?" The opposing lawyer pointed the finger at Yan Jin.

Yan Jin stood up calmly and walked to the witness stand. "I believe in the kindness of human nature and the professional ethics of professionals. Our company has always maintained an open and cooperative attitude, but I didn't expect to be betrayed like this." Her tone was calm, but every word was powerful. "But this cannot cover up the illegal behavior of Ronghui Group. Our company will investigate it to the end according to the law!"

Yan Jin's determination and confidence infected everyone present, and a low murmur of discussion broke out in the audience. Judge Liu knocked the gavel, signaling everyone to be quiet.

The trial was still going on, with lawyers on both sides exchanging sharp words and neither side giving in. As time passed, the atmosphere in the courtroom became increasingly tense.

Yan Jin returned to the plaintiff's seat, gently held Xiang Yu's hand, and gave him a firm look. "Don't worry, good will prevail over evil."

Xiang Yu held her hand with his backhand, feeling the warmth of her palm, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually dissipated. He looked at the confident and dazzling woman in the court, and a sense of pride he had never felt before surged in his heart.

However, at this moment, the opposing lawyer suddenly produced a new piece of evidence... "We have reason to believe that this so-called key evidence is forged!"

"What?!" Lawyer Lin exclaimed, looking at the document in the other lawyer's hand in disbelief. It was stamped with an official seal, and the date matched the time of the testimony. This piece of evidence directly overturned the witness' testimony and instantly reversed the direction of the case.

In the audience, Xiang Yu stood up suddenly and looked at the scene in disbelief. He couldn't believe that the lawsuit that was originally sure to win would suddenly turn out like this. He clenched his hands into fists, his knuckles turned white, and silently prayed for a miracle to happen.

Yan Jin's face also became solemn, but she remained calm. She turned around and whispered a few words to Lawyer Lin, staring sharply at the other lawyer, trying to find a flaw in his face.

"Where did this evidence come from?" Lawyer Lin asked in a deep voice, trying hard to control his emotions.

The other party's lawyer smiled smugly, "Don't bother with that. We naturally have our own channels to obtain evidence. You should think about how to explain this evidence!"

Lawyer Lin was speechless for a moment. He flipped through the documents in his hand, frowning more and more. The evidence seemed impeccable, but he always felt that something was wrong.

"Your Honor, the authenticity of this evidence has yet to be verified. We request a recess to allow time for verification!" Lawyer Lin made a prompt decision and submitted an application to the judge.

Judge Liu hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement, "Allow a ten-minute recess."

There was an uproar in the courtroom, and reporters raised their cameras to record this dramatic scene. Xiang Yu looked at Yan Jin, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything. He believed in the abilities of Yan Jin and Lawyer Lin, but he was still filled with uneasiness.

Ten minutes, just ten minutes, but it seemed like a century. Xiang Yu paced back and forth in the corridor anxiously, smoking one cigarette after another. In the smoke, his face was terribly gloomy.

"Mr. Xiang, don't worry..." Assistant Xiao Li wanted to say a few words of comfort, but was stopped by Xiang Yu's sharp eyes.

Time passed by minute by minute, and finally, Lawyer Lin and Yan Jin walked out of the court. Xiang Yu hurriedly went to meet them and asked anxiously: "How is it? Is there a solution?"

Lawyer Lin looked solemn. Before he could speak, Yan Jin grabbed Xiang Yu's hand and said firmly, "I have a solution, but..."

"But what?" Xiang Yu's heart was in his throat, and he asked anxiously. Yan Jin took a deep breath, his eyes firm, "But I need your unconditional trust."

Xiang Yu held Yan Jin's hand without hesitation, "I believe in you, I always believe in you." He had never realized so clearly as he did now that Yan Jin was no longer a marriage partner for him, but a partner he could trust.

Lawyer Lin added: "Although the new evidence provided by the other party seems impeccable, I always feel that it is too coincidental. I need time to verify the source of this evidence and the truth behind the testimony."

"Okay, I'll do as you say. Just tell me if you need me to do anything." Xiang Yu had completely calmed down at this moment. He believed in the professional judgment of Yan Jin and Lawyer Lin.

The tense ten-minute recess passed quickly, and in the court, the lawyers of both sides started a fierce debate again. With his keen insight and professional legal knowledge, Lawyer Lin pressed the other lawyer step by step, trying to find loopholes in the new evidence.

The verbal battle in the courtroom excited the reporters in the gallery. The flash lights kept flashing, recording this war without the smoke of gunpowder.

Finally, after a long trial, the court announced a temporary recess and the trial would be resumed on another day.

After leaving the court, before she could feel the joy of victory, Yan Jin's phone suddenly rang, and an unfamiliar number flashed on the screen. She answered the call, but before she could speak, a deep voice came from the other end: "Boss Yan, long time no see..."

Yan Jin's face changed, and the fingers holding the phone slightly tightened, "You are..."

At the same time, thousands of miles away at the State Intellectual Property Office, patent examiner Wang Gong was holding the patent application documents of the Xiang Group and the Yan Group and having a heated discussion with his colleagues...
