Wang Rongcheng also felt a little strange in his heart, but now that he had the ironclad evidence in hand, he felt that there was no possibility of losing, so although his tone was solemn, he was not too worried.
No matter what you, Li Gongxiang, make, you will ultimately have to rely on evidence to speak for yourself.
In Wang Rongcheng's view, today Shen Mu can not only win the case, but also make the other party suffer. The charge of fabricating evidence cannot be escaped.
In addition, if the crime of defamation is also established, Yang Shiping will be sentenced to at least three years. This is the consequence of the other party not seizing the opportunity.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple!"
Shen Mu had been paying attention to Tao Zhiji's expression, especially when he saw that the other party showed the tablet in his hand to the two jurors next to him, he said something in a deep voice.
Tao Zhiji's expression has always been serious, but he can't see many changes.
But the two jurors were not so calm anymore, and their expressions changed again and again.
Moreover, the three people's eyes looked at Wang Rongcheng from time to time. It seemed that the content in the computer was related to Wang Lu, which made Shen Mu feel that something was fishy.
"call……"
After about ten minutes, Tao Zhiji finally raised his head, glanced at Wang Rongcheng first, and then turned his gaze back to Li Gongxiang.
"Defendant's lawyer, can you guarantee the authenticity of this video?"
Tao Zhiji's eyes were a little complicated, because for Li Gongxiang, this was like hurting the enemy eight hundred times and hurting himself eight hundred times.
The content of the video actually did not benefit Li Dazhuang in the slightest, yet the other party did this anyway.
"Of course it's true. As a lawyer, I don't dare to speak nonsense in court!"
At this time, Li Gongxiang seemed to be very righteous. Since the matter had come to this, he could only go to the dark side, otherwise Mrs. Wang would not let him go.
"All right!"
After receiving the other party's answer, Tao Zhiji nodded, then discussed with the two jurors in a low voice for a moment, and then raised his eyes again.
"In view of the fact that the plaintiff's lawyer and the defendant's lawyer have had private contact and may even have exchanged interests, I have decided that Lawyer Wang Rongcheng and Lawyer Li Gongxiang shall not serve as lawyers in this court again!"
The words that came out of Tao Zhiji's mouth immediately shocked Shen Mu and the other two people to the point where they could not recover.
What the hell is going on?
Why are lawyers from both sides suddenly unable to appear in court?
Ye Lan was trembling a little. She knew clearly that in such an occasion, without a lawyer, she might not be able to argue with the other party.
Especially when he saw another lawyer on Yang Shiping's side, Ye Lan even guessed that the other party was well prepared.
On their side, they were caught off guard.
"Have you had contact in private? Wang Lu, what's going on?"
Shen Mu's face also looked a little ugly, and the next moment he turned his attention to Wang Rongcheng's face.
He had some guesses in his mind, but wanted to get a definite answer.
"I... Li Gongxiang and I have indeed met in private, but I can guarantee that there is absolutely no exchange of interests!"
By this time, Wang Rongcheng had almost understood what was going on.
His expression was a little awkward at first, but then he became a little more serious.
"I directly rejected their conditions at the time, but I didn't expect them to be so despicable and shameless. They secretly recorded a video and wanted to force me to leave!"
In order not to be misunderstood by Shen Mu, Wang Rongcheng explained a few more words. In fact, he did not expect that the other party's methods were so dirty.
But the fact now is that they were caught off guard, and Wang Rongcheng can no longer become Shen Mu's lawyer.
On the other side, Yang Xugang, a professional lawyer, was prepared to give him a clear opinion.
"This happened suddenly. Plaintiff, you can choose to continue or postpone the trial!"
Tao Zhiji's voice came again.
This kind of civil dispute is still very humane. Now that the plaintiff has no lawyer, postponing the trial is undoubtedly a good choice.
It was precisely because of this that Tao Zhiji did not drive Wang Rongcheng and Li Gongxiang out immediately.
Maybe everyone has to leave together, and preparations for today's court hearing should be in vain.
But until now, Tao Zhiji has not figured out why a barrister like Li Gongxiang would take such a risk. Is it just to catch the other party off guard?
Strictly speaking, if there is an exchange of interests between the two parties in private, it is also against the lawyer's law. It depends on whether anyone will look into it.
However, Tao Zhiji didn't mean to meddle in other people's business. She really had to file a case before filing a lawsuit. She was hearing this case now, and the decision of both parties was the most important.
"Shen Mu, why not postpone the trial again? I will recommend a good lawyer to you!"
Wang Rongcheng knew that he might have to stay out of the matter, but he felt guilty and finally made a suitable suggestion, which was considered the best solution.
He felt that as long as he had irrefutable evidence, even if the next lawyer was not as good as him, he would win the case.
The other party definitely didn't know that Shen Mu had irrefutable evidence. It would be too fanciful to use such a trick to disturb the plaintiff's mind.
"Postponing the retrial? Doesn't that mean it will be delayed for another ten and a half days?"
Shen Mu pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly.
What he is most anxious about now is the release of Wolf Fang Bang, but if this matter is not resolved, I am afraid there will be a lot of trouble.
If the majority of netizens regard Shen Mu as a director who made his fortune by plagiarizing, even if Wolf Fang List is brilliant, those people will not believe that he is the main creator.
You can only choose to clarify your innocence, get the court's judgment document, and put it online when the time comes. It will be clear who plagiarized and who slandered.
This is also the real reason why Shen Mu chose to solve this matter first.
The court was not run by his family. If the trial could not be held today, he would have to wait for the court to arrange a time. He did not want to wait any longer.
"But there is no defense lawyer..."
Wang Rongcheng didn't finish what he said, but the meaning behind it was clearly understood by Ye Lan next to him.
Lawyers make a living by debating. Compared with ordinary people, their eloquence and psychological quality are undoubtedly better.
Therefore, although Ye Lan is confident in the evidence in Shen Mu's hands, when the time comes to argue with a professional lawyer, she may fall into the other party's trap of words and eventually capsize in the gutter.
"Haha, I'm afraid you don't know, but I was the lead debater in the graduation debate that year!"
Shen Mu raised his head, with a smile on his face. The two people next to him really didn't know about this, and these words didn't boost their confidence too much.
This school's debate competition is completely different from a real court debate.
And Yang Xugang is Wang Rongcheng's old classmate. He knows very well what kind of strength the other party has.
Therefore, Wang Rongcheng feels that Shen Mu is a little too confident. When the time comes, you will mess up the good situation by yourself, and you will regret it and there will be no place to cry.
Wang Rongcheng felt that for the sake of safety, postponing the trial would be the wisest choice, but seeing Shen Mu's firm eyes, he didn't know how to speak.
What just happened has already made Wang Rongcheng feel guilty, and he is not sure whether Shen Mu will believe him. If he says more, he will inevitably increase his suspicion.
"Plaintiff, have you discussed it yet?"
Tao Zhiji's words rang out again. She had no time to delay here, and in her heart, she was almost certain that Shen Mu would choose to postpone the retrial.
"After discussion, we choose..."
Shen Mu said nothing more to the two people next to him. Seeing him raise his head, he paused deliberately, and then said: "The trial continues!"
"Um?"
Such a decision made not only Tao Zhiji and the two jurors stunned for a moment, but even the three people on Li Gongxiang's side were in disbelief, completely unable to understand why the other party had made such a decision.
Li Gongxiang's original plan was to postpone this court hearing.
This way they can make more decisions and be more confident next time.
Not everyone in this world is as stubborn as Wang Rongcheng, right?
When the time comes, they can find Shen Mu's second attorney and use coercion and inducement. As long as the other party's attitude is not as tough as Wang Rongcheng's, they will have an opportunity.
In Li Gongxiang's view, without a professional lawyer to speak for Shen Mu, how could Shen Mu himself be Yang Xugang's opponent?
If you can see this yourself, Wang Rongcheng must also be able to see this.
If that's the case, then why does Shen Mu insist on going his own way?
If the trial continues, even if Wang Rongcheng and Li Gongxiang do not leave immediately, they will only be able to sit in the auditorium and listen, and will not be able to provide any help to their so-called parties.
As a result, Shen Mu had to fight Yang Xugang on his own.
Li Gongxiang and others have always believed that Shen Mu is just a director, or at most a screenwriter. He is probably just an otaku at ordinary times, so how can he argue with a professional lawyer?
"Eh? This is an opportunity!"
After a brief period of astonishment, Li Gongxiang and Yang Xugang looked at each other, and both saw a hint of excitement in each other's eyes.
"This guy is so full of blood. He obviously can't hold his breath anymore. He's really stupid!"
For a while, both Li Gongxiang and Yang Xugang, and even the people at the court, attributed the reason to Shen Mu being young and energetic, and he couldn't stand it.
"Plaintiff, do you want to think about it again?"
After all, Tao Zhiji couldn't help but asked one more question, which made the smile on Li Gongxiang's face disappear instantly.
Sure enough, women are all emotional creatures. Judge Tao pretended to be serious on the surface, but secretly he was probably fascinated by Shen Mu's pretty face. Otherwise, how could he say such a thing?
In fact, it was not a big deal if Tao Zhiji said more. It was just that Li Gongxiang had preconceived ideas and had dirty ideas.
For Li Gongxiang, the current situation is undoubtedly more beneficial than postponing the retrial.
He didn't believe that Yang Xugang, a professional lawyer, couldn't deal with a young boy who graduated from the directing department?
Everyone was staring at Shen Mu, wanting to know what kind of decision this young man would make?
