Chapter 822 - Argue (2/2)
Jin Wanyi was sheepish fro, so she sat back down next to Gu Yanran Gu Nianzhi finally opened her file to the first page and said, “Gu Yanran, can you recount the abuse incident again right now?”
Gu Yanran composed herself and planned the script out in her head before slowly narrating the event “That night, Ye Xuan careement to transfer assets I refused, so he… so he…” Gu Yanran bit her lip and appeared hu she couldn’t speak about
Gu Nianzhi quickly stopped her “Please stick to the point—at what time, location, and hat methods did he physically abuse you?”
Gu Yanran frowned “I don’t remember what day it was”
Gu Nianzhi countered, “Did he hit you on the head, and it confused your memories?”
“No”
“Then why can’t you reo, how could I remember properly?” Gu Yanran rebuked her “I’ood s once they’ve happened and never take them to heart”
Gu Nianzhi looked at everyone in the courtrooo, and Miss Gu Yanran has already forgotten everything Looks like you need to evaluate your intelligence, not your psychiatric state If your intelligence is below a certain level, you are considered disabled and treated as a al capacity”
Gu Yanran glared at Gu Nianzhi “What do you ed?!”
“I didn’t That was your own inference” Gu Nianzhi looked down to flip to the second page of the file “If you can’t remember the time, then can you remember the location?”
Gu Yanran stiffened, then spat out vehemently, “It was at my house, on my bed”
“Ok, and then? In ay did he physically abuse you?”
Gu Yanran ernails to pinch me, his fists to beat me, and he also tried to hit me where other people couldn’t see it He never hit my face”
Gu Nianzhi replied, “You claimed just now that these injuries were self-inflicted, so why are you suddenly changing your tune and saying it was physical abuse by Ye Xuan now?” Gu Nianzhi closed her file and rubbed her chin as she fiercely steered the topic back to the original point “Gu Yanran, what is true and what is false in what you’re saying? Do you need to take a lie detector test?”
“Objection According to laws, lie detectors cannot be used in general civil cases” Jin Wanyi immediately stood up to rebut Gu Nianzhi
Gu Yanran panicked when she heard the words “lie detector” She finally cal to Jin Wanyi and smiled wryly “I actually wanted to let him off easy, but I can’t coo” She coh Ye Xuan wasn’t too great to me, he is in fact completely devoted to you He doesn’t even want the Gu estate any it up to you”
Gu Nianzhi chuckled “Gu Yanran, you had just said that Ye Xuan’s inventory of assets was fake So nohy are you saying that he’s ‘offering up’ the Gu estate? Then are you ad that the inventory of the Gu family’s assets provided by Ye Xuan is indeed complete and correct?!”
Gu Yanran didn’t expect Gu Nianzhi to be so keen-minded and analyze the psyche behind any casual sentence she blurted out She was secretly chilled to the bone and discreetly balled her hands into fists to warn herself to not lose her composure If she lost this case, then she wouldn’t have anything anyap at the opportune tiave up his demands for the Gu family’s assets She didn’t say that the inventory of the Gu family’s assets provided by Ye Xuan was correct Plaintiff, please do not distort the original intention ofLawyer Jin knows that the best” Gu Nianzhi stared back without an ounce of fear
Jin Wanyi stared back at her for a while before averting her gaze nonchalantly “May I ask if the plaintiff has anything else to ask?”
Gu Nianzhi raised a brow “Of course I do” She turned to Gu Yanran “I’ll ask you again, was Ye Xuan the one who inflicted physical abuse on you? The injuries shown on the photos issued by the hospital were caused by Ye Xuan?”
Gu Yanran nodded and answered blankly, “Of course they were You can summon Ye Xuan if you don’t believetie, “Your Honor, I wish to suardless if it’s for the defendant, Gu Yanran’s accusations of his physical abuse or to testify about the inventory of the Gu family’s assets he provided as an important witness, both are pertinent to the case”
The judge nodded “I agree to suh in relief She stood up with a bea smile “What a coincidence, Your Honor Ye Xuan just went to the United States and has already been arrested by the A the fawen’s lawyer” She looked at Gu Nianzhi and mimicked how she often spread her palms “You see, Ye Xuan is a horrible person who not only physically abused my client but also committed heinous crimes like arson and murder How could someone like that testify as a witness? How can anyone believe the evidence provided by a person like that?!”
The judge froze Soon after, court staff presented information coe He read the related reports expressionlessly before asking Gu Nianzhi, “Plaintiff, are you sure you still want Ye Xuan to be your important witness?”
“I’m certain,” Gu Nianzhi said without hesitation “I request that Ye Xuan be extradited back to the Hua Xia Empire for trial”
“Extradition?!” Jin Wanyi nearly laughed out loud “Lawyer Gu, oh Lawyer Gu Could you possibly not know that our nation has not signed extradition agreements with the United States, so we cannot extradite criminals from there? Otherwise, why do you think those corrupt officials seek refuge there?!”
Gu Nianzhi also laughed “Extradition does not apply to econoed with a cri to usual practice, the Hua Xia Ened a memorandum to cooperate on criminal cases and extradite the criminal back to the Hua Xia Empire”
“…But an estate dispute is an economic case” Jin Wanyi latched onto the loophole in what Gu Nianzhi said “You said it yourself just now, that the possibility of extradition only exists with cri suspected of physically abusing Miss Gu Yanran is a cried the topic and somehow ended up on Gu Yanran’s accusations of “domestic violence”
Jin Wanyi was even ain that domestic violence cases are not tried without accusations My client has repeatedly stated that she will not pursue legal responsibility from Ye Xuan, so may I ask why you think this is a criminal case?!”
Gu Nianzhi remained very calotten what is legally defined as ‘dohter had not even yet subsided but was abruptly cut off as soon as she heard Gu Nianzhi’s words She see, and like a swan that stretched its long neck to sing loudly but was suddenly grabbed by the throat, she couldn’t catch her breath and nearly injured her internal organs Gu Yanran’s heart dropped as soon as she saw Jin Wanyi’s expression and could vaguely sense soht about their responses froht, there shouldn’t have been any mistakes? That person had provided her with a plan that was linked step by step and was incoht out She really couldn’t see how Gu Nianzhi could turn the tables on it
Suddenly, Gu Nianzhi threw out her trump card She looked at the two female police officers and said, “I think you two may have misunderstood Ye Xuan and Gu Yanran are not husband and wife, nor do they have a typical familial relationshi+p They are not a fa accused by Gu Yanran of physical abuse is no longer within the scope of domestic violence but is considered a criht and es for criminal injury cases with no need for consent from the victim Since the criminal injury case has been established, there is concrete evidence, and Ye Xuan’s case in the United States is significantly linked to e the police to quickly file the case and also request that the A Ye Xuan back to the Hua Xia Empire!”
Gu Yanran’s expression instantly darkened What were her chances of winning if Ye Xuan came back to the Hua Xia Empire?! There’s no way she could allow him to come back!
