177 Finally regained his freedom
In the lawyer's defense, Tang Lingfei's preparation can be regarded as very sufficient.
The first point she made was a surprise to all of us. She cited various evidence to prove that the nature of this fundraising act only belongs to P2P lending, crowdfunding financing, etc., and is an act of private lending, and that the act has been approved by the relevant departments in accordance with the law, so that the objective legal requirements for constituting the crime of illegally absorbing public deposits are not met, and Wei Lianheng is not guilty from this aspect;
From another point of view, she defended that the suspect (Wei Lianheng) did not play a role in planning and organizing crimes in this case, he was only a shareholder, never participated in direct management, and was completely unaware that this business model was suspected of committing crimes, subjectively had no intention to commit crimes, and objectively there was no evidence to prove that his actions disrupted the financial order, and his actions did not violate the national financial order, so he should not bear criminal responsibility; Moreover, some of the facts of the case of the suspect (Wei Lianheng) suspected of illegally absorbing public deposits or disguised absorption of public deposits are also unclear, and the evidence is not sufficient
Tang Lingfei talked endlessly for more than an hour, reasonable, logical and clear, and the audience was almost impressed by her defense, and my heart gradually relaxed, silently admiring her professionalism and professionalism...... I have to say that it is quite a huge project to collect so much evidence, and she didn't even let me help anything halfway, and it was really eye-opening for me to sort it out in such a short period of time.
Finally, the judge announced that two more witnesses would testify. I don't know where the witness came from, Wei Lianyun next to me whispered to me, saying that the witness was an employee of the technology company, one was a financial officer, and the other was a low-level salesman, who had been detained at the time of the crime, but Tang Lingfei managed to release them and let them testify in court.
I only heard that these two witnesses were clear in their thinking and articulate to show that Wei Lianheng had indeed not participated in the fund-raising project, proving that he had never been to the company, and everything was done by the boss who was still absconding, and it had nothing to do with Wei Lianheng. After it was finished, the witness who was the treasurer also provided a lot of bills for capital transactions, and the signature shown on it did not have Wei Lianheng...... So on the whole, the statements of the witnesses were quite convincing.
At the final sentencing session, my heart lifted again, holding my breath, I didn't dare to breathe, listening carefully to the judge's sentencing, and at the same time squeezing Wei Lianyun's hand tightly...... When I finally heard the serious judge read a large paragraph, announced Wei Lianheng's innocence in a sonorous tone, and released him in court, I almost exclaimed, and tears welled up at once!
He was finally saved, finally released, and finally freed! Five or six months of torment is finally over!
After the others dispersed, I couldn't wait to run over and hug Wei Lianheng, he hugged me very tightly, and I was trembling...... We hugged each other as if no one was around, although we didn't speak, but the excitement in our hearts was understandable without saying. Lian Yun also walked over with relief, patted Lian Heng's back, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Lian Heng, you are free again." β
"Thank you." Wei Lianheng let go of me.
"You should thank Lawyer Tang." Wei Lianyun reminded.
I reacted violently and hurriedly looked at Lawyer Tang, who was calmly packing up her information, with the joy of winning the lawsuit on her face. I walked up to her and said with a respectful and excited smile, "Lawyer Tang, I am so fortunate to you this time, thank you very, very much I know that what I am saying now is very superficial, and I can't express my gratitude to you at all, so first of all, we must have a good chat with you on the issue of fees, in order to show sincerity, I will give you 5 times on the basis of your market price, oh no, 10 times!" β
"Hehe," Lawyer Tang smiled shallowly and said, "You're welcome, you can pay as much as you want" said, her eyes turned to Wei Lianheng and looked at him straight for a few seconds, "I am a lawyer, this is all within the scope of my duties, and Lian Heng is innocent, of course I will do my best to clear his name." β
At this time, Wei Lianheng also slowly came to her and said 'thank you' to her very seriously. He has always been unfazed, even if the joy of being freed will not provoke his excitement, he just has a faint smile, although he is grateful to Lawyer Tang in front of him, but I am so excited.
"I'll treat you to a meal another day." Wei Lianheng mentioned to her.
"Okay," Tang Lingfei clasped her hands in front of her chest, as if smiling, "Then I'll wait, don't forget." β
"No, it won't."
After I thanked Lawyer Tang again, I went home with Wei Lianheng, and Lian Yun made an excuse to leave with Tang Lingfei in order to give us both space.
I was speechless all the way, but my heart was surging all the way......
When I returned home, I pushed open the door, and when Shi Saiyu saw Wei Lianheng come back suddenly, she couldn't believe it at all, and she couldn't speak for a long time, and after I explained to her carefully, she was ecstatic, and immediately told the nanny to go to the supermarket to buy some big fish and meat, and cook a table of dishes for him at night.
Not only Shi Saiyu couldn't believe it, but even I didn't believe it, for fear that all this was an illusion, and when he woke up, he disappeared again......
I followed him to the living room, but I was still a little red-faced and couldn't raise my head with Shi Saiyu in front of him.
Wei Lianheng's attention had been attracted by An An, he picked him up with great interest, and teased the child easily, completely unable to see the gloomy feeling that he had just come out of prison, which was good. In fact, when he left, An An was only one year old, and he couldn't walk or talk, and now, one and a half years old, he was already babbling some words, and he could walk staggeringly, very healthy, very fair-skinned and pink, with big round eyes, people loved by everyone, except for his mouth like me, the other parts can be called Wei Lianheng's copy and paste, which is really exactly the same as the photo he took when he was one year old.
An An's name is 'Wei Cong'an', which was taken by Wei Pengcheng, I was not very satisfied at the time, and I said to think about it again, but then the old man died, and in order to commemorate him, I still decided on this name.
Wei Lianheng thought for a while, and said casually, "It depends on the situation, let's talk to her in person another day, this time she really helped a lot, no matter what, I will remit the money that should be given to her account first." β
I nodded, painted her image in my mind, and praised from the bottom of my heart, "A very powerful woman, her thinking ability is too strong, she is naΓ―ve to be a lawyer, she can say that she is dead, and seeing her so eloquent in the courtroom, I feel that I can't compare with her." β
"Why do you want to compare with her, the person who can't be beaten with eight poles," he couldn't help but hug me tightly, rubbing my whole body into his arms, and kissing my forehead, "Sleep, it's too late." β
It was too late, and he had just returned from prison, and he must have been physically and mentally exhausted, so we closed our eyes, listened to each other's slight breathing, and drifted off to sleep.
The next morning, when I was still in bed and didn't get up, I received a call from the company secretary, asking me to confirm if I would have an 11 a.m. meeting. Only then did I realize that there was a more important meeting today, which was to negotiate with several ingredient suppliers in Southeast Asia, and I had already made an appointment.
I quickly got up to clean up myself, while Wei Lianheng was still asleep. I thought to myself that he had just been released, and he needed to take a good rest, adjust his mental state or something, and it was not appropriate to go to work in the company immediately, so I didn't wake him up, but just explained to Shi Saiyu when he left.
Rushed to the company, foreign businessmen from Southeast Asia have come, I received them on time, and the discussion at the meeting was relatively smooth, it may have solved Wei Lianheng's problem, I was in a much better mood, and quickly determined the intention of cooperation with them.
After finishing his work, he picked up his mobile phone and saw Wei Lianheng's missed call on it. I told him that he was out now, and he was wandering outside, and asked me if I wanted to have lunch with him, and I naturally agreed.
While waiting for a red light on the road, he sent me a text message saying that he was in a cafΓ© in such and such a business district, and asked me to call him when I arrived, and he would go with me to eat again. Hehe, he actually has the leisure to go shopping, and he also goes to the cafΓ©, it's really rare! Come to think of it, he used to be in charge of everything, how could he have such time to come out for recreation?
There was a traffic jam on the road, and it was supposed to be ten minutes away, but I had to drive for half an hour to arrive. After parking the car, I looked up and saw the cafΓ© he was talking about, which happened to be on the second floor, so I didn't give him a phone call and went straight to him to surprise him.
I came to the second floor, there were a lot of people sitting on it, I looked around, in a corner by the window, Wei Lianheng was sitting there, with his back to me, but what puzzled me was that there was actually a woman sitting opposite him, who was smiling and talking to him?
Who is this? He made an appointment, or a woman, or a woman I didn't know, and he didn't tell me in advance? I was inexplicably a little angry, so I quietly moved to the empty seat at the table behind him, took the menu and pretended to order a drink, while observing what he was doing with this woman?
The woman has a typical Internet celebrity face, a pointed chin, a high nose bridge, big eyes, white and shiny skin, and she looks like she has just had a whitening injection...... Anyway, she looks like a big beauty overall. The question is, who the hell is this?
took a closer look, only to find that it was this woman who took the initiative to talk to Wei Lianheng, and she had nothing to say to talk to him, from the coffee he likes to drink, to the brand of clothes he likes, and to the movies he likes to watch...... Wei Lianheng ignored it, the other party asked, and he replied patiently, but in order to maintain his basic demeanor, he didn't directly drive away the other party, or throw his face or something, he probably thought that this woman was pleasing enough to the eye, and it was not bad to be accosted by her?
I never stood up and debunked it, I kept secretly sitting behind my back and observing, and the woman naturally didn't know me, thinking that I was just a stranger who came to drink coffee.
"By the way, handsome guy, didn't your girlfriend come out with you?" The woman began to tactfully determine whether he was single or not.
"I don't have a girlfriend." Wei Lianheng said.
Depend on!
I still couldn't hold back, and I wanted to see what he would do in the face of such a fly.
"Wow, really?" The woman was very happy, and then pretended to be sad and said, "Actually, I broke up with my ex not long ago, and I was in a bad mood during this time." β
"Hmm." He replied lightly, but his eyes were fixed on his phone, probably wondering why I hadn't called him all along.
"Hey," the woman sighed, "and now it's so boring to be alone, you see, there is no one to accompany you when you go shopping, and there is no one to talk to."
Wei Lianheng still said noncommittally 'oh', perfunctory, "Isn't it popular now that there is a software called WeChat, there is a shake function, you can try it, maybe you can find a few people to talk to you." β
"Oh, who uses that kind of thing," the woman said disdainfully, "It's all dicks and lewd men on it, it's terrifying, I still prefer to find fate in reality, for example, don't you think it's interesting to meet like ours?" β
"Maybe." He never looked at the woman's face much.
"Hehe," the woman's eyes were about to stick to him, the whole face, the smile was particularly shy, and she was even more bold, she asked tentatively, "Handsome guy, why don't we add a >."
When I heard this, I felt that it was time for me to make my debut......
I stood up, walked to Wei Lianheng's side lightly, and coughed dryly twice, without waiting for him to speak, I deliberately asked him loudly, "This handsome guy, is there anyone next to you, can you let me sit down?" β
Wei Lianheng smiled and said cooperatively, "No one, come on." β
When I sat down next to him, the woman across from me widened her eyes with anger on her eyebrows, as if she was going to eat me, and she rolled her eyes at me, "Don't you see that there are two of us here, what are you squeezing here, and there are so many empty seats?" β
"I'm sorry, I really like to sit here, I don't get in your way, do I?"
"What do you say?" The woman huffed, "I talk to my friend, can't you change places?" You're already seriously disturbing us by sitting here. β
Huh, her friend? Why didn't she say it was his boyfriend?
Of course, Wei Lianheng still hasn't debunked it.
So I was not polite, and directly mocked, "Beauty, let's not pretend, okay, do you think you like handsome guys, I like it too?" Well? I deliberately threw a wink at Wei Lianheng. The corners of his lips curled, and he leaned back in his chair, clasping his hands in front of his chest, intending to continue watching me act.
"You" the woman thought that I was really going to make it clear that I wanted to rob him of a man, and she said with disdain on her face, "It's really a big forest, and there are all kinds of birds, so I've never seen a cheeky person like you." β
Then, she suggested to Wei Lianheng, "Why don't we talk in another place, don't be like a strange person." β
"No, just here." He said.
On a whim, I said to the woman, "Beauty, why are you so reserved, if you like him, just say it, and let's not talk about what you can do, come, like me" Saying, I put my arms around Wei Lianheng's neck in front of her and kissed him on the face!
The woman was shocked, her eyes widened in disbelief, "How are you?"
Wei Lianheng also turned his head to look at me affectionately, and asked me with a smile, "Beauty, you are too open, but I like it, do you want to come again?" β
"Okay," I smiled even brighter, "in that case, why don't we just go and open a room nearby, and talk about poetry and poetry to philosophy of life or something, okay?" β
"Okay, let's go!"
Then, I got up with him, ready to leave, glanced at the woman, her face was pale, she was speechless in surprise, she looked at me and Wei Lianheng singing and harmonizing on a large scale, as if she understood and didn't understand, she wanted to stop him but couldn't open her mouth. I didn't care so much, I took Wei Lianheng's hand and went downstairs.
Walking downstairs to the square, I shook off his hand, "Wei Lianheng, you are very attractive." β
"You just know?"
I glared at him, and I couldn't help but be angry when I thought of the scene just now, "Why do you say you don't have a girlfriend?" β
"Is there one?" He looked like a fool and said, "Don't I already have a wife, how can I have time to have a girlfriend?" β
I was amused by his words, but quickly turned my face away, "I'm not your wife right now." Divorced a long time ago. β
"You'll tell me again?" He deliberately threatened, his strong chest slamming into me.
"What do you say? I'm already divorced."
"Who would have thought, he grabbed my face at once, and forcibly kissed me like a hooligan!
Faint!
In broad daylight, in public, it's embarrassing! I tried desperately to push him away, but he just didn't have a face, grabbed me strongly, and kissed me upside down...... I glanced around at the lively people, and suddenly my face was red and my heart was beating like thunder...... Really, I've lived for more than thirty years and I've never been so disgraced as I am today!
After asking for a few minutes, he let go of me, looking at my confusion proudly, completely ignoring the discussions of the people around him, as if the world was the only one left with me and him, and he calmly arranged my messy hair, and then hugged me and got into the car. After closing the car door, I slapped him on the shoulder and scolded, "Wei Lianheng, are you crazy about being red?" β
He laughed, "Why, didn't you just seduce me to open a room in broad daylight, I just warmed up with you, and I couldn't stand it?" β
I was choked up by him and speechless. But after a while, when this shame had passed, a strange feeling welled up in my heart...... I glanced at him, saw his serious look, and quickly looked out the window again, snickering.
In the next week, Wei Lianheng didn't go to the company for the time being, and he didn't do anything else, just resting. Regarding Tang Lingfei's lawyer's fee, I originally asked Wei Lianyun to send her a message to give her an account number, and I directly sent the money over, but she refused to give it. So, Wei Lianheng and I decided to meet her in person.
