Chapter 18 Where is the person who promised to come back
Chapter 18 Where is the person who promised to come back?
Who once said that a woman is most beautiful when she is pregnant and becomes a mother, but now, no one will deny that Xia Chen, dressed in a lawyer's robe, is so beautiful and heroic that she is definitely no worse than a man.
This was to commemorate the first time she met the special person in Huo Tianhan's heart. The only thought that came to her mind was that this Xia Chen was worthy of making Huo Tianhan so attracted. She had such qualifications and advantages.
In the court, there were not many people in the seats, but they were all people with status and status in Shanghai. The people who came were not He Jiaming, but also a few relatives and friends of Wu Tong, and people like Xia Chen.
In the solemn court, the prosecutor slowly walked up from the inner hall. Everyone in the audience immediately stood up. The judge's sharp eyes swept across the people present, knocked the gavel in his hand, and said in a steady and powerful voice, "Defense parties
Everyone is here, the trial will begin now! Plaintiff's lawyer, you can start."
For a moment, as the hammer fell, everyone sat down one after another.
Xia Chen stood up first, bowed respectfully to the judge and jury, with a confident and calm smile on his clean and fair cheeks, "Your Honor, fellow jurors, hello everyone, I am Xia Chen, Wu Tong's lawyer."
Everyone present smiled and nodded in agreement with her.
Xia Chen stood up again, walked up to Wu Tong, and asked, "Miss Wu, may I ask, was it you who initiated this divorce?" [
"yes."
"Is it because we couldn't resolve it privately?"
"yes."
"Then may I ask, is it you who don't want to or is it your husband He Jiaming?"
"Of course it's He Jiaming." When Wu Tong said this, he looked at the man opposite with sharp eyes, and a feeling of hatred spread from the bottom of his heart.
Xia Chen paused and said with a smile, "Thank you, Miss Wu, for your answer. Then - Your Honor, I would like to ask the defendant a few questions."
"Can."
Xia Chen walked up to He Jiaming and smiled lightly, "Mr. He, I would like to ask you, six years ago, did you and Miss Wu get married out of mutual love?"
"Of course, if I don't love her, how can I marry her? Lawyer Xia's question is really strange." He Jiaming smiled sarcastically.
"Really? Do you love her even now?" Xia Chen asked immediately.
He Jiaming narrowed his dark eyes slightly, "Lawyer Xia, do you think this childish question should be discussed in court? Is it because it's your first time in court that you didn't understand that this is a divorce case? It's really ridiculous, dignified ht
There is such a brainless lawyer. Isn’t it true that he relies on his body to get to the top?”
The audience immediately burst into laughter.
"Quiet! This is the court!" The judge immediately knocked the hammer and said seriously.
"Mr. He, I am asking you a question. Please answer me directly." Xia Chen was not annoyed by this and still looked at him calmly.
He Jiaming was a little angry. This woman's inner qualities were not very good, but she still said frivolously, "If she hadn't betrayed me, of course I would still love her."[
"So, you want a divorce because your wife cheated on you? But it seems that you are the defendant. Miss Wu just said that it was because you didn't want to mediate in private that you came here to entrust us with a lawyer. As we all know, in cases like Mr. He
In such a wealthy family, whether it is a man or a woman, there will be
There is nothing strange about a third or fourth person. Social dinners and business banquets will give you the opportunity to meet new friends. Could it be that Mr. He is often away from home, which makes Miss Wu feel empty and lonely, so she has someone else? In this case, just agree to divorce directly.
I believe that with Mr. He’s ability, the alimony can still be afforded.”
"I can indeed afford alimony, but this woman wants to take away my son, do you think I will agree? What a joke!"
"It turns out it's for the custody of the child, so that's right. No one would agree if it were the case. But Mr. He, are you sure that Mengmeng is your son?"
Xia Chen's casual words caused an uproar in the audience, and they all started whispering to each other.
He Jiaming's face was extremely pale.
He Jiaming's legal team immediately stood up and said, "Objection! I object to the plaintiff's lawyer making random assumptions about my client without any evidence. Your Honor, I request that this question be skipped!"
The judge pondered for a moment and said, "The objection is valid. Defendant's lawyer, please pay attention to your wording."
Xia Chen smiled and bent slightly, "I have finished asking my questions for now, thank you."
Before sitting down, Xia Chen raised his lips and looked at He Jiaming, who had an ugly face over there.
And Wu Tong's face over there was even more painful and pale...
The defendant's lawyer stood up and walked to Wu Tong. His sharp eyes swept over her pale face and asked, "Ms. Wu, as the cheating party, you are the one who was at fault first. My client has the right to refuse the divorce."
What do you think of all your requests?"
"But, I don't want anything, I just want children. Is this wrong?"
"There is nothing wrong, but the fault lies in your ability to raise a six-year-old child. As far as I know from my investigation, your lover is just a waste with no ability to work. He can't even afford his own life. And after your marriage,
In the past six years, you have stayed at home and have no work experience. In other words, you have lost the ability to integrate with this society. Even if the child is awarded to you, what ability do you have to bear the responsibility for raising the child?
?”
"This doesn't mean anything. In the past six years, the person Mengmeng has interacted with the most every day is me. He Jiaming is busy with his business and socializing, and... he is not worthy of being a father at all!"
"Ms. Wu, there is another investigation here that shows that you frequently visited a psychological clinic last year. I have asked this doctor and he said that you suffer from severe schizophrenia and have been treated by him for a year.
Jiu, do you admit this?"
Wow——!
For a moment, everyone was shocked, and Wu Tong turned pale, "Shut up! This is no reason at all -"
"Quiet! Quiet!" The judge picked up his gavel again and reminded everyone seriously.
This shocking news and Wu Tong's loss of calm caught Xia Chen off guard. Wu Tong's case was not marked in any information...
She still neglected it.
Even though he was annoyed, Xia Chen still kept calm and faced the judge, "Your Honor, I object to the defendant's lawyer's questions. This seriously affects my client's mood in court."
"Your Honor, this matter is very likely to affect Ms. Wu's ability to support her children in the future. I ask her to answer."
"Objection to invalidity, please answer the plaintiff."
Xia Chen bit his lip and looked over at Wu Tong, who was almost losing his mind, with worry in his heart.
"No, it's not... you are all fabricating it, this is not true!" Wu Tong roared irrationally.
The defendant's lawyer came to Wu Tong and asked again firmly and seriously, "Ms. Wu, just answer me, do you see a psychiatrist, or do you not?"
"..." Wu Tong
"Ms. Wu, please answer!" the defendant's lawyer was aggressive.
"have……"
The whole place was in an uproar again.
He Jiaming smiled sarcastically and looked provocatively at Xia Chen on the other side.
Xia Chen secretly clenched his fists and tried hard to think of how to reverse the situation.
"Thank you, I have finished asking my questions." The defendant's lawyer smiled calmly and returned to his original position.
There was some silence among those present and the jury.
"Defendant's lawyer, do you have any questions?" the judge asked.
"Your Honor, I have a very powerful witness on the way. I request that the court be adjourned for half an hour." Xia Chen said.
"Okay, we will continue in half an hour. Now, adjourn the court!"
As soon as the blow fell, everyone left the scene.
Accompanied by his legal team, He Jiaming also returned to his lounge. Before leaving, he took a deep look at Xia Chen. After closing the door, he immediately took out his phone and dialed, asking in a deep voice, "How is the child?"
Already?"
"Don't worry, Mr. He, we are always watching."
"Very good. Keep an eye on me until the end of the case. Don't make any mistakes."
"yes."
After hanging up the phone, He Jiaming stood in front of the landing and looked at the scenery outside, with a sneer on his lips. Does Xia Chen want to overthrow me? Delusion!
＊＊＊
Snap!
"What's going on? This item is not included in all the information you gave me! Miss Wu, do you still want to be confused? Do you know that you have always been very cautious since I took over this case?
If you don't cooperate with me, you call me passive, even though I have the will and the strength!"
Xia Chen threw the information on the table and stared sharply at Wu Tong, who was pale and trembling.
"I'm sorry, Lawyer Xia... I didn't expect him to know about this matter. I originally planned to hide it from everyone. This matter was not a glorious matter, but you have to believe me. I don't have any mental problems. Really
…”
It seems that Wu Tong is not hiding it deliberately. As a person who has been oppressed by a perverted man for a long time, even if she is not sick, she will go crazy. It is understandable to seek help from a psychiatrist, but...
Xia Chennai looked at her, "What's the point of trusting you? The key is that the judge believes in you."
Wu Tong looked horrified, grabbed Xia Chen's hand and said, "Lawyer Xia, what should we do now?"
Xia Chen glanced at Pei Jun, who had not yet appeared in court. The man over there looked indifferent, but it gave her confidence. She looked at Wu Tong and said, "I hope you will wait a moment and tell me everything you know in the past six years."
Tell everything about it, don't hide anything anymore, you have to know that the most painful thing about exposing this matter is not you, but Pei Jun. He is willing to stand up, so what do you have to worry about? "
Wu Tong loosened his grip on Xia Chen's hand and shook his head slowly, "No... Mengmeng is in his hands. If I tell him, he will definitely kill the child, because Mengmeng is not at all -"
"What's it not?" Xia Chen asked, "It's not He Jiaming's child? Right!"
Wu Tong's face turned completely pale, "You, how did you..."
Xia Chen smiled softly, "How do I know? Miss Wu, do you know? In law, what we value is to rely on evidence. All the truth, as long as there is the fact that it happened, as long as it existed, we have a solution
Yes, and Mengmeng is not He Jiaming’s child at all, this birth certificate and paternity report are enough to explain everything!”
"Then why...why..."
"You want to ask, why I have all the evidence in my hand, but I haven't said anything yet? I'm waiting, waiting for Mengmeng to show up, waiting for the man I love to show up. He said he would bring the child back when the court opens today. I
I believe he can do it. I am a lawyer, but I am also a woman. This lawsuit is not only related to the safety of your child, but also his. What I hope is that everyone can be safe. I
I still want to convict He Jiaming, but Pei Jun is already like this
, ten years... Which person would be willing to endure such pain? If it were me, I couldn't imagine it. Miss Wu, you are not the only one who is suffering from this lawsuit from beginning to end. Some people are suffering more than you, but
What about you? When did you really trust me? I have never given birth to a child, but I also know the importance of children to mothers. If you still insist on having your own way now, then I really can't help you, and I have no problem.
Reasons to withdraw from this lawsuit, what do you think?"
Xia Chen's righteous words deeply shocked Wu Tong. At this point, she could not utter a word.
Pei Jun came up at this moment and patted Wu Tong on the shoulder, "Miss Wu, don't worry, I will help you later. Mengmeng is so cute, and none of us want anything to happen to him."
Wu Tong raised his head in shock, "Pei Jun...thank you."
Finally, Wu Tong wiped his tears and said firmly, "Lawyer Xia, don't worry, I understand your thoughts. I won't be afraid of anything this time. Even if something happens to Mengmeng, I will take care of everything."
Let me tell you, I have had enough of all this in the past six years. You are right, I am too selfish and only care about myself, but in fact, I am not the only one who suffers. Wait, I will say it properly."
Xia Chen and Pei Jun were relieved and smiled at each other. The only thing that worried Xia Chen was Huo Tianhan, who had no news so far...
＊＊＊
In an abandoned residential building in the old town of Shanghai, the word "demolished" is written all over the outside.
The area around here is sparsely populated, and most of them have been sent to other places. There are abandoned bricks, tiles, cement and lime everywhere. However, in this quiet place, there is a "commotion"...
Huo Tianhan has been waiting here since he received the news last night. Mengmeng is inside, but he alone can't rescue him. There are many people on the other side, and most of the people around He Jiaming are
He is a top-notch combat expert who has retired from the special forces and is equipped with a gun. Once he enters, he will definitely become a living human target.
I checked the time and saw that the court had already begun. Xia Chen and the others were still waiting for him and could not delay any longer. However, why hadn't the other party arrived yet?
At this time, the suit and shirt were already wrinkled, but he couldn't care about anything. Time was running out and he couldn't wait any longer. Can Liang Mufeng's words be trusted? He said that someone would come to support him early this morning, but damn should he?
arrive!
Just when he was about to break in alone, an arm came from behind and held down his shoulder. Huo Tianhan instinctively turned around and wanted to throw him over his shoulder, but he stopped after hearing what the person said.
"Hello, my surname is Yan. Liang Mufeng asked me to come here. I also provided the information here. Are you Huo Tianhan?"
Huo Tianhan was startled. He looked at the handsome man in a suit in front of him, and he was in a daze for a moment. "Yes, you are... Yan Lie? The gangster that Liang Mufeng mentioned?"
Yan Lieying frowned slightly, "Mr. Huo, that was a long time ago. I am also an upright businessman now. This is my business card. If there is a chance in the future, we can cooperate. Oh, forget it, I forgot.
You are a lawyer. I think it’s best that we don’t meet too much. I don’t want to be entangled in lawsuits all day long. Besides, the business I manage is all in vain, Long Jiu——”
"Brother." The person behind him immediately leaned forward. He was also a man with stern lines.
"You take the brothers and rush in first. Mr. Huo and I will come later. Qin Shi, take out all the weird things you invented. It will be up to you later." After Yan Lie finished the instructions calmly,
Those people quickly carried out the order.
Huo Tianhan was a little shocked when he saw it, but he admired this man named Yan Lie. He didn't know how Liang Mufeng knew this man, but the people he heard about in the underworld were all angry, but this Yan Lie was not like that. Not only
He is handsome, courageous, and speaks in an orderly manner. It seems that he needs to change his attitude.
"So, Mr. Yan, thank you very much." Huo Tianhan stretched out his hand to him and curled his lips with a smile.
Yan Lie smiled noncommittally and raised his thick eyebrows, "Don't worry, I haven't done anything for many years. It's necessary to occasionally move my muscles and bones when the time is right. Come on, let's go in and clean up the mess. Aren't you in a hurry to go to court?"
Huo Tianhan was stunned, looked at the time, and secretly shouted, "Oh no!"
The two men looked at each other. Huo Tianhan was about to rush in, but Yan Lie grabbed him and said, "Wait a minute, put this into your nose."
Huo Tianhan frowned and looked at what was handed to him. Although it was strange, he still did it.
The scene inside was chaotic. The originally messy place was choked by a strange smoke and people were coughing. Huo Tianhan couldn't see the scene in front of him clearly. He couldn't help asking the calm man beside him, "Why is there no one?"
Where is the child?"
Yan Lie thought for a moment and said, "Ken may be inside. I'll go in and take a look. You stay here!"
Saying that, Yan Lie dodged and walked towards the depths.
Huo Tianhan looked around the surrounding environment, looking for the child's figure. There were several unconscious people lying on the ground, probably all of He Jiaming's people. The smoke may be the final cause.
Suddenly there was a sound of fighting inside. Huo Tianhan heard it clearly. He was about to go in to help when he heard a cry that was not very obvious but was clearly that of a child. His nerves tensed and he called out tentatively, "Mengmeng?"
After hearing the sound, the child cried louder, "Mom, help me, mom..."
Huo Tianhan frowned, and finally made up his mind. He searched for the voice and finally found the child. He saw that Mengmeng was being held hostage by a man. The knife in his hand was pressed against the child's white and tender neck, revealing a trace of blood.
Mengmeng already knew Huo Tianhan. When she saw him, she felt like seeing a savior. She shouted in panic, "Uncle Huo! Help me, I'm so scared, wuwu..."
"Don't be afraid, Mengmeng, you will be fine!" Huo Tianhan said in a deep voice to the man, "Let him go immediately, otherwise you know, I will let you stay in prison for the rest of your life!"
The man smiled arrogantly, "What a joke! I'm not afraid of you. Mr. He won't let you do this, otherwise I will kill this child immediately. Now get out of here!"
Huo Tianhan smiled sarcastically, "Do you think you, He Jiaming, have time to care about your life and death even if you can't protect yourself? You don't know who He Jiaming is? This is my business card. Whether you believe it or not, if you don't listen to me now
, you are responsible for the consequences. I only say this for the last time, leave the child to me." Then he threw the business card out and landed at the man's feet.
The man picked up the business card on the ground, looked at the three words Huo Tianhan, his hand shook, and said in horror, "Are you Huo Tianhan? So what! I will not be threatened by you! Let me go quickly!"
"You have been surrounded. Your companions have surrendered. The police will be here soon. Have you been a soldier or a special forces soldier? How serious are the charges of kidnapping and obstruction of justice? Do you need me to explain it to you?"
Huo Tianhan came forward over and over again. When the man saw this, his eyes widened even more in shock. He suddenly took out a gun from his pocket and pointed it at him, "Don't come over! Otherwise, I'll kill you immediately!"
Huo Tianhan's eyes darkened, "Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Huo Tianhan! Be careful!"
Suddenly another voice came out from behind. Yan Lie took care of the other side and came with people to see this scene. He was also surprised when he saw so many people in front. The man holding the gun in front became even more panicked when he saw so many people. He didn't care about anything.
, and shot directly at Huo Tianhan in front.
Bang!
The sharp sound passed through the roof and penetrated the dilapidated walls. The man's muffled groans and the sharp cries of the frightened children were mixed together. The scene was chaotic...
＊＊
On this side, the court adjournment was over, and Xia Chen was just about to start describing the proceedings of the lawsuit, when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.
"Lawyer Xia, are you okay?" Wu Tong glanced at Xia Chen worriedly.
A text message alert suddenly came from her hand. Xia Chen opened it and took a look. The message displayed on it was very simple: everything goes well, the child is safe, and will be there soon.
The person who wrote the letter was not Huo Tianhan, but an unknown person...
Xia Chen's hands shook, but he raised his head and smiled at Wu Tong, "It's okay..."
Then, she regained her composure and looked forward, "Your honor, I now require my witness to appear. This person is very important to this lawsuit."
"Call the witness!"
As soon as the judge finished speaking, Pei Jun walked out from another door. He Jiaming on the stage had expected it, but seeing with his own eyes that the person he had protected and loved for ten years was now going to compete with him, in the end it was still...
Unbearable, he secretly gritted his teeth and clenched his fists...
"Hello, your honor, fellow judges, I swear on my life and my personality that I will not forgive my sins if I tell any lies."
Xia Chen stepped forward and began to say, "Mr. Pei, what is your relationship with He Jiaming?"
He Jiaming's calm expression turned pale and he stared at Pei Jun, but Pei Jun looked at him indifferently, turned around and said lightly, "Our relationship is very complicated and is not accepted by the world. To put it simply, I
She is his lover."
The whole audience was shocked, and everyone looked at this scene in disbelief. Seeing this handsome man, he was so calmly stating this explosive fact.
Xia Chen couldn't speak any more, and the defendant's lawyer's face was even more ugly. He Jiaming seemed to collapse a little, closing his eyes and laughing secretly, it seemed to be ridicule, it seemed to be despair...
Pei Jun smiled and continued, "Ten years ago, there was no Wu Tong, He Jiaming's current wife. At that time, I was the marketing planning manager of He's Group specially hired by He Jiaming. He had just arrived and was not on the right track yet.
When I first met him at work, I didn’t know that I had become his prey, but I didn’t expect that the result would be so unbearable. He used all kinds of chips that could threaten me to imprison me beside him.
He stayed there for ten years...he wanted to
He didn’t want the world to know his true face, but he was unwilling to let me go. He personally dragged another woman into this situation six years ago. The wedding of the century between him and Wu Tong was just to cover up the truth about me and him.
The best mask, but unfortunately, Wu soon discovered this matter. She was in love with He Jiaming at the time, but since then, she also collapsed. She never expected that such a man with all the auras in one body
, what he loves is not women, but... men."
"be opposed to!"
He Jiaming's lawyer was interrupted by Xia Chen as soon as he spoke, "Your honor, everything Pei Jun said is closely related to this case. I have the right to ask him to tell the truth."
The judge pondered for a moment and immediately dismissed the opponent's objection, "The objection is invalid! Continue."
"Mr. He..." He Jiaming's legal team tried their best for the first time. Looking at the man who was still laughing next to them, they were at a loss for a moment.
Pei Jun continued to talk, telling all the unsavory and unknown things in the past ten years. All the evil deeds hidden under He Jiaming's gentle appearance were made public at this moment. Everyone present was shocked.
Continuously, bursts of sweat...
Even the judge was a little shocked. It's not that such things are rare, but that what people like He Jiaming do is shocking. Who would have thought that such a successful and well-established businessman would hide something like this behind his back?
Ugly face?
However, these were not enough to shock them. What shocked them the most was Pei Jun's last words.
Pei Jun looked at Wu Tong, who was already crying in front of him, and said slowly, "Actually, Mengmeng is not someone else's child, he is mine and Wu Tong's."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Tong's face was completely buried in his hands, and his shoulders were shaking.
Xia Chen was also shocked. The paternity test she had prepared hadn't been taken out yet, but this piece of news was as powerful as an atom and could destroy anyone's nerves.
But Pei Jun, why didn't you tell me earlier...
"Stop talking! Stop talking!" Wu Tong screamed.
Pei Jun continued, "He Jiaming said that he wanted me to stay by his side all his life, but he couldn't let the He family succeed him, but he didn't want to have children with a woman, which made him feel sick, so he thought of using me
He and Wu Tong came to give birth to a child for the He family. In this way, he not only controlled me
All of us now have an honest reason to possess me. I will never leave him in my life, because of that child, because of Mengmeng... Even though I don’t love that child, because even I feel disgusted, that night,
He directed that scene with his own eyes and asked his wife to
We worked with me all night, and under the influence of the medicine, we were forced to endure it... But how unbearable and painful the process was, only I understand... I have the courage to say all this today, all because of Xia Chen,
It was her disregard for her own safety that made me feel that even though the world is already so dirty
, but justice still exists. No matter what my path will be in the future, I just feel that no matter what, I can't ruin a child, and besides, he is only six years old... Every time I look at his innocent smiling face, I feel sad
Do you think my heart is dead? But my sins cannot be redeemed in this life..."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
In the court, He Jiaming suddenly laughed wildly, looked at Wu Tong and Pei Jun, and said sullenly, "Bitches... they are all b!
At once--"
"Mother!"
Before He Jiaming finished speaking, a clear child's voice suddenly broke into everyone's ears. Wu Tong turned around in shock, unable to believe what he saw.
"misty……"
"Mom!" Mengmeng jumped out of the arms of the man holding him and rushed into Wu Tong's arms.
Xia Chen also looked back at the man who suddenly appeared at the door. He was handsome and tall, but he was not the man she wanted to see.
The outcome of this lawsuit is clear at a glance, but the person who promised to come back...
Huo Tianhan, where are you?
