Chapter 9 I'm sorry, I don't have a choice
"Deer, it's okay, have you brought all the information? Don't be nervous. ”
Jinglu showed a bright smile towards Gong Sisi and raised the folder in his hand, "Well, it's all here, don't worry!"
She was not at ease, so she compiled another relevant document, hoping to come in handy.
100 million, for ordinary people, is an astronomical amount, but for the Jing family, it is just a drop in the bucket.
There is one thing that makes her puzzled, such a small matter, the Jing family can solve it privately, but it is so big that the Jing family has no face when it is said.
Even if Bai Louti doesn't care about her or the Jing family, he should care about his own face! He cares so much about face, he actually allows others to make a big deal out of it, Jing Lu can't figure this out.
Gong Sisi didn't know what Jing Lu was thinking, so he didn't have any worries, and patted Chu Mingyue's shoulder behind him, "Lawyer Chu, I'll see you later!"
After speaking, he didn't hear Chu Mingyue's response, he looked at him sideways, and seeing that he was in a daze, Gong Sisi quipped as usual: "King Chu, what did you do last night, with dark circles the size of eggs?"
Jinglu and Gong Zhengrin looked at Chu Mingyue when they heard this, and really saw the slightly deep dark circles under his eyes.
Chu Mingyue hurriedly grinned and said, "It's okay, it's okay, last night...... It's too late to look into this case......"
Seeing this, Jing Lu and Gong Sisi stopped making fun of him.
Gong Zhengrin approached, and in a voice that only the two of them could hear, said, "You went to Flower Lane yesterday to play late and didn't come home until late?"
Chu Mingyue turned her head to look at him, made a 'you know' gesture to him, and then stopped looking at his eyes.
Seeing this, Gong Zhengrin didn't say anything more, and sat down in the seat next to Gong Sisi.
If he thought about it carefully at this moment, he would find that Chu Mingyue's abnormality was different from usual, and his current behavior seemed to be deliberately avoiding all of them.
After another half an hour, the judge, the opposing party's lawyer and others appeared one after another, but the plaintiff still did not show up.
"Deer, is your father the one who accuses you?"
Jinglu shook his head and did not speak.
"Also, it can't be Bai Louti. "He wants to save face, and it is impossible for him to get into this part because of this little thing.
Gong Sisi looked back and swept around, at this time there were already many cameras set up in the court, and most of the reporters at the scene were also reporters, and none of the Jing family members were present.
Her eyes swept to the corner, her eyes widened suddenly, her mouth opened, and then she immediately covered her mouth with her hand, pulled the corners of Jinglu's clothes, pointed to the corner, and said excitedly: "Deer, look, that person is so handsome!"
Even if she has seen all kinds of handsome guys, she has to admit that the man in the corner is really handsome, and the extraordinary temperament around him is incompatible with everyone in the hospital.
Jinglu turned around, glanced at Gong Sisi's rippling appearance, and then turned her head to look at the place she pointed, and crashed into the other party's sight unprepared, she was so frightened that she hurriedly withdrew her gaze, "Why is him!"
"Deer, do you know, introduce it to me, it's too punctual!"
Jinglu replied without hesitation: "No!"
The man was too dangerous.
"What, deer, you're too uninteresting, I've finally seen a satisfactory one. ”
Jing Lu reacted at this time, knowing that his reaction just now was too strong, so he slowed down his tone: "No, I mean I don't know that person, so I can't do it." ”
Gong Sisi didn't doubt Jinglu's words, didn't think about it, and didn't ask more, but kept saying that it was a pity.
"The plaintiff, the defendant and their attorneys are now invited to enter. ”
"Sisi, I'm going. After speaking, Jing Lu got up, took the documents from his seat, and walked towards the dock, with Chu Mingyue following closely behind.
Gong Sisi gave them a cheering gesture, and his mouth was still chanting: Come on. Together with Gong Zhengrin beside him, he watched the backs of Jing Lu and Chu Mingyue.
Next, the presiding judge reads out and checks the list of parties, announces the cause of action, announces the list of adjudicators and clerks, and informs the parties of their procedural rights and obligations.
After the presiding judge finished reading, he still didn't see the plaintiff, and Gong Sisi asked curiously: "Your Excellency, won't the plaintiff appear?"
"The plaintiff filed an application for recusal, and the plaintiff's lawyer appeared in court instead. ”
Gong Sisi had never studied law, so he didn't know it, so he looked at Chu Mingyue with a question in his eyes, as if to say, "Can you still do this?"
Chu Mingyue nodded, and then stopped looking at her.
Gong Sisi understood and pouted. If I knew that I could do this, the deer would not have to come forward on its own.
The judge tapped the hammer, "Plaintiff, please!"
The lawyer on the plaintiff's bench saluted the judge, and then said unhurriedly: "According to Article *** of the Criminal Law of our country, the perpetrator is a staff member of a company or an enterprise unit, and the transfer of the company's property without permission has constituted the crime of embezzlement. ”
"Does the defendant want to refute?"
With the judge's words, everyone turned their attention to Jing Lu and Chu Mingyue.
Chu Mingyue looked at Gong Sisi and the others under the seat, her eyes deliberately swept over the audience, and then she sighed deeply, avoided all eyes, didn't look at everyone, and shook her head,
"Nope!"
The voice was very soft, revealing a little helplessness, echoing throughout the hall, and it was exceptionally clear.
As soon as the words fell, everyone exploded and began to discuss, and one voice was particularly prominent: "Chu Mingyue, what the hell are you doing?
Many people were attracted by the sound and looked at the person who spoke up.
I saw that in the first row, a woman with blond hair and red lips stood on a stool, pointing at Chu Mingyue angrily, without paying any attention to the eyes of the people around her.
Seeing that many people were looking at him, Gong Zheng Rin pulled the corner of the pants of the woman standing on the stool next to him, "Sit down, sit down!"
Gong Sisi lowered his head and looked at him, "What are you doing! Look at what Chu Mingyue said!"
After speaking, she looked up at Chu Mingyue on the stage again, if she hadn't taken care of the security guards around her, she was afraid that she would have rushed up and slapped him twice.
"There are more than a dozen cameras behind you, if you do this now, maybe it will be in the headlines tomorrow, where do you let the palace family lose face!" Miyamasa Rin accentuated his tone.
Only then did Gong Sisi regain a trace of calm, and sat down slowly reluctantly, ignoring the strange eyes of others.
Gong Sisi, Gong Zhengrin and others were indeed surprised, but the most surprised was Jinglu.
From the time Chu Mingyue said those words, Jing Lu froze, only maintaining a trace of sanity, looking at him with unbelievable eyes, unable to speak.
Seeing that the surroundings were getting more and more noisy, the judge struck the hammer, "Silence, silence, the plaintiff and the client continue!"
The plaintiff's lawyer was unhurried and immediately read a number of clauses, to the effect that embezzlement could be punishable by more than three years in prison, embezzlement could be punishable by life imprisonment, and embezzlement could be punishable by more than five years.
"Does the defendant have to plead?"
Chu Mingyue kept her head down because of guilt, and seeing that the situation was very unfavorable to Jinglu at this time, she cautiously raised her head and looked at the woman beside her.
But unfortunately, it happened to be the eyes of Shangjing Lu, and there was no starlight in them, full of disappointment and a trace of hatred.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I'm ...... I really...... There really wasn't a choice......"
He said sorry three times in a row, his voice was a little crying, and as soon as the words fell, two lines of tears slowly flowed down his cheeks.
He burst into tears, which surprised everyone, even Gong Sisi and Gong Zhengrin in the audience didn't expect it.
What kind of person Chu Mingyue is, they all know very well that such an iron-clad man is actually crying now.
He is a good-looking person, and now he is leaving two lines of tears in front of everyone and so many reporters in the audience, which makes people a little unbelievable.
But so what, even so, it can't change the mistakes he made at the moment.
Jinglu raised his head, struggled to force back the tears in his eyes, and turned his head to look at the person sitting in the corner.
He was wearing a black suit today, like a funeral attire, and he was sitting in the corner at the moment, as if he was going to hide in the darkness.
It was too far away for Jing Lu to read his expression, but she could feel that the man was laughing at her.
She raised her right arm, wiped her eyes vigorously, looked at the judge, and pretended to be steady: "Your Excellency, I want to cancel the principal-agent relationship with lawyer Chu Mingyue, and I will defend myself, is it okay?"
"This ......"
The judge looked into the corner as if unintentionally, and then responded, "Yes!"
Chu Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, handed the information in her hand to Jinglu, said carefully, and returned to the table.
Seeing him approaching, Gong Sisi squeezed his fists, suppressed his desire to beat him flat, and gritted his teeth: "I'll clean you up later!"
After speaking, he didn't look at him anymore, moved a few positions to the side, and kept a distance from Chu Mingyue.
Chu Mingyue didn't explain, she lowered her head helplessly, not daring to look at Gong Zhengrin.
Jing Lu glanced at the information that Chu Mingyue gave her, did not open it, threw it aside, no longer looked at it, and said unhurriedly: "Your Excellency, I am the legal heir of the Jing family, is it considered a crime of embezzlement with my own money?"
The plaintiff's lawyer raised his hand and said:
"How to deal with the assets of the Jing family, Mr. Jing wrote clearly in his will, you can inherit it if you don't make a mistake before the age of 23.
Let's not say if you have made a mistake, if I guess correctly, Miss Jing is only 20 years old this year, and she has not reached the legal age of inheritance, so the property of the Jing family is not yours.
In addition, you work for the company, but you take advantage of your position to embezzle public funds. This concludes my statement, Your Excellency. ”
