Chapter 90: The Oriental Teahouse
From Huang Lingling's narration, Fang Qiuyan heard two meanings: first, her brother's confession was purely false, and Huang Lingling was also a witness fabricated by her younger brother, but she didn't know anything and had nothing to do with the Canglang Island massacre; The second is that Huang Lingling has hidden mysteries, and there is also the possibility of "another matter".
Fang Qiuyan remembered the scene when she had just dealt with lawyer Leung Bingqiang. Leung's first impression was one of stiffness and arrogance, but when Cheng pushed the $3 million check in front of him, his nasty face immediately turned rosy, and his deep, chilling eyes immediately became gentle. By analogy, if you also come up with three million dollars now, or take out more dollars, you will not worry that Huang Lingling will not change her attitude, and Huang Lingling will not be willing to testify for her younger brother and provide evidence that is very favorable to her younger brother.
"Lingling, for the sake of Auntie and your father being old classmates, you can help Auntie, and only you can help Auntie."
"Really?" Huang Lingling saw Fang Qiuyan play the card of "old classmate", not only was she unmoved, but she was touched by the anger buried in her heart, and said, "Aunt Fang! Don't mention any old classmates! My dad was a mess because of those wolf-hearted classmates! ”
Fang Qiuyan was taken aback, and couldn't guess why Huang Lingling hated Huang Xinglong's classmates so much. Her patience was draining rapidly, and her anger was rising. But she held back.
"Lingling, are you talking about Auntie? That's a big mistake. Your father was promoted from associate professor to full professor, and your aunt has made a lot of contributions. ”
Huang Lingling raised her eyebrows, and her eyes revealed a feminine and resentful aura.
"Aunt Fang, my dad and you both graduated from the same college, no one is worse than the other, no one is better than the other, why can you all mix up your personal appearance like a dog, my dad is a teacher and still has to be grateful to you? Yes, you spoke for my dad, but what did you do to my dad? Why did you frame my dad by any means? ”
"I framed your dad? Lingling, where did this start? ”
"Aunt Fang, if you haven't done anything wrong, you're not afraid of ghosts calling the door, haven't you had a bad heart for so many years?"
Seeing that Huang Lingling was so arrogant, Fang Qiuyan couldn't help muttering in her heart: Could it be that she was talking about the paternity test? It's impossible, even Huang Xinglong was kept in the dark, how could she know about it? ”
"Lingling, it seems that there are a lot of deep misunderstandings between us, and Auntie assures you that Auntie has never done anything unfavorable to your father."
"I'm sorry Aunt Fang, the time we agreed on has come, and I don't want to dwell on those things about Chen Sesame Messing Grain anymore. If you have other needs, just go straight to my lawyer, goodbye! ”
Fang Qiuyan saw that Huang Lingling was leaving, and hurriedly said, "Wait!" Lingling, who are your lawyers? Where do I go to him? ”
Huang Lingling didn't look back, and said as she walked, "You know my lawyer, his name is Liang Bingqiang." ”
Fang Qiuyan was shocked, why is Huang Lingling's lawyer also Liang Bingqiang? That's weird, isn't it?
Zheng Qingyu, who was waiting outside the Oriental Teahouse, saw Fang Qiuyan walking out with a gloomy face, and hurriedly opened the car door to greet him, "Director Fang, didn't the conversation go well?" ”
Fang Qiuyan sighed indignantly, "Cough, it's really a narrow road!" That Miss Huang turned out to be a girl from an old classmate of mine. I guess she's here to collect her father's debts. ”
Zheng Qingyu also felt a little bizarre, and hurriedly asked, "Director Fang has a holiday with her father?" ”
Fang Qiuyan sighed again, "Cough, I was also rash back then, and I did a foolish thing." Don't talk about it, what makes me angry now is that this Miss Huang actually hired lawyer Liang Bingqiang! ”
Zheng Qingyu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Director Fang, I think that although the lawyer hired by Miss Huang and the lawyer hired by your brother are the same person, it does not affect the handling of the case, nor does it violate the relevant regulations. ”
"Are you saying they don't belong to the plaintiff and defendant in the same case?"
"Your brother was named the 'main culprit in the Canglang Island incident', and Miss Huang accused him of fraudulently raising funds, which is considered two separate cases, and Liang Bingqiang should be allowed to serve as the defense lawyer for both of them at the same time. Do you want to give Leung Bingqiang a call? ”
Fang Qiuyan's eyes flashed, and she said, "Tell Liang Bingqiang to come to the Oriental Teahouse immediately, I want to listen to him explain in person!" ”
Soon, Liang Bingqiang, director of Haotian Law Firm, drove a beige Ford to the Oriental Teahouse. After the three of them sat down, Fang Qiuyan asked, "Director Liang, I heard Miss Huang say that you are also the lawyer she hired?" ”
Although Fang Qiuyan was quite polite, her tone was obviously mixed with dissatisfaction. Liang Bingqiang smiled bitterly and said, "That's true. It was more than a month ago, when Ms. Huang approached Haotian Law Firm and said that she was from China, and that her uncle had been defrauded of 2 million yuan by Fang Zhixin's company in Northeast China, and many other villagers had also been deceived. She concluded that Fang Zhixin's company was a transnational fraud gang, and she had come to Los Angeles to ask for an explanation. She said that she believes that country M is a society that pays attention to law and justice, and should not allow fraudsters to go unpunished for a long time. She also presented a lot of evidence, one of which involved Ms. Fang, saying that you had helped your brother Fang Zhixin transfer fraudulent funds many times. She said she had more evidence that was being collected......"
Liang Bingqiang tirelessly recounted Huang Lingling's case while staring at Fang Qiuyan's increasingly ugly face. Finally, Fang Qiuyan couldn't hold her breath, stared at Liang Bingqiang and asked, "Director Liang, have you really seen those evidences?" ”
"See! Because I am her lawyer, I can naturally see the evidence she provided, and I have made copies of some of the important evidence. ”
"Director Liang, can you let me also see the so-called evidence?"
"I'm sorry Ms. Fang, because Miss Huang is my client, and Fang Zhixin and Ms. Fang are the targets of my client's accusations, although I really want to help, but I can't do anything that violates professional ethics and lawyer's ethics, and I ask Ms. Fang to be more inclusive."
"But," Fang Qiuyan's eyes flashed with resentment and anger, and she said in a trembling voice, "Director Liang, I spent a lot of money to hire you, and I am also your client, and I have the right to know anything that is unfavorable to me." ”
"No, no, Ms. Fang, you have misunderstood, these are two separate cases entirely. Ms. Wong hired me to recover the fraud; And Ling Lang Liang Tianyu hired me to defend Fang Zhixin's murder on Canglang Island. Chronologically, Miss Huang comes first, Ling Lang comes last, and if I had to opt out of one, I would have to choose the latter. ”
Fang Qiuyan was very annoyed, but she was helpless. Zheng Qingyu interjected and said, "Director Liang, Ms. Fang didn't mean to let you quit, but she just asked you to come up with ideas and see if there was any better way." ”
A sentence reminded Fang Qiuyan, and she hurriedly said, "Miss Huang said just now, if I have any requirements, I can go directly to her lawyer." Director Liang, I don't care about Miss Huang's accusations in fundraising. First, Fang Zhixin did not defraud anyone of the fundraising funds; Second, I didn't transfer any money for Fang Zhixin, these are all vicious frame-ups. I am not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door if I don't do anything wrong, whether it is Fang Zhixin or me, I am not afraid of this kind of accusation of chasing the wind and shadows. The problem is that Miss Huang has a preconceived idea, and the other party has a deep misunderstanding and resentment, and refuses to testify about Fang Zhixin's Canglang Island case, which is the crux of the problem, and it is also the last thing I want to see. ”
