Lu Anpeng calmly took out the DNA proof and placed it in front of Gu Nianzhi. His fingers lightly tapped on the proof, he smiled and said, “Barrister gu is indeed a very cautious person. He followed the procedure step by step without leaving out a single detail.”
Gu Nianzhi raised an eyebrow.
This was not a compliment, but to say that she only knew how to take things step by step when she went to court.
To a trial lawyer, this was not a compliment at all.
It was like praising a child for his good grades. He only said that he memorized the exam syllabus given by his teacher every day, but he would not do anything that was slightly beyond the syllabus.
It was both a compliment and a derogatory remark.
When ordinary people heard such comments, especially young people who had outstanding results at work, they would fly into a rage.
Even if they did not make such comments, they would also disturb their emotions and interfere with their logical thinking. More seriously, they would affect the success or failure of the lawsuit.
Older people might also control their emotions and try to minimize the negative effects in this regard. This was the so-called bonus of experience.
However, young people were different. Because they were young and outstanding, they were more likely to be fearless. Once they encountered setbacks and ridicule, their emotional black hole would be even more severe than that of ordinary people.
However, he had misjudged gu nianzhi.
There was a type of person who was naturally suited to do something.
Once he or she found something that was naturally suitable for him or her, he or she would be more experienced and incisive than those who had been doing these things for decades.
Gu Nianzhi was such a person. She just happened to find something that was naturally suitable for her.
When she stood in the courtroom, she would shine.
Her calmness and calmness were completely out of line with her age.
Gu Nianzhi ignored the slight mockery in Lu Anpeng’s words. She looked down at the DNA proof quickly.
She did not understand the details. They were all technical terms in the field of biological genetics, but she could understand the conclusion.
The DNA proof stated that the Kevin Laris in the court was the biological son of John Laris and Kelly Lee from New York.
Gu Nianzhi nodded. Looking at the date on the DNA proof, she said, “Even the paternity certificate has been made. Lawyer Lu’s work is indeed flawless.”
“It is our duty as lawyers to do everything we can to satisfy the needs of our clients, help them win the case, and protect their interests,”Lu Anpeng said politely.
Gu Nianzhi placed the three documents in front of her. She thought to herself that if she admitted that Keven was a diplomat, then he would enjoy diplomatic immunity, especially immunity from criminal prosecution. He would not be subject to criminal prosecution in the country he was from, he also did not have the obligation to testify in court.
It was amazing that the other party had thought of such a move. Gu Nianzhi could not help but give them a thumbs up.
But even if they liked it, they still had to expose it.
Gu Nianzhi brushed the DNA document with her hand, as if she wanted to brush away some invisible dust.
She looked up at the still dazed Keven, who seemed to be immersed in his own world, and then at the lawyers in his legal team who thought they had the upper hand, gu Nianzhi smiled lightly. “These documents and certificates are indeed very good. They perfectly pulled Keven out of this case.”
“Since lawyer Gu has admitted it, does that mean we don’t have to fight this case anymore?”? “My client has been detained for two months. He has been physically and mentally injured, and his mental and physical state are very unstable. I request the court to release my client on the spot and compensate us for all our losses, including but not limited to the legal fees, missed work fees, and punitive civil compensation.”
The Indian lawyer could not wait to stand up and deliver his closing statement.
Lu Anpeng glanced at him and slowly sat down, leaving the performance venue to him.
Gu Nianzhi secretly praised Lu Anpeng for being a sly old fox in both worlds. There was no one else with such sensitivity.
She lazily raised her hand and said, “Objection. Defense lawyer, this case has just begun. What’s the rush? You’ve waited for more than two months. You Don’t mind waiting a few more hours, do you?”
“I don’t think there’s anything worth fighting in a case with diplomatic immunity like this. If this goes on, you’ll start a diplomatic dispute with the United States.”Arif, the indian-born lawyer, threatened Gu Nianzhi with a bluff, he only hoped that she would stop, so that they could end the case and return to the United States.
He missed his family very much after staying here for more than two months.
Gu nianzhi smiled and said, “We know what we’re doing, but thank you for your reminder, Mr. Arif.”
After that, she ignored the defendant’s legal team and said directly to the judge, “Your Honor, I have a few more questions for the defendant’s legal team.”
The judge looked at her worriedly, picked up the gavel, and rapped it, saying, “Permission granted.”
Gu Nianzhi bowed slightly to express her gratitude. She then turned to look at Arif, the Indian lawyer who had stood up, and said, “Mr. Arif, can you fully represent your client, Keven?”
“Of course I can. We have signed a full representation agreement.”Arif said alertly, his brown eyes staring at Gu Nianzhi like an eagle catching a chick.
The agreement between a lawyer and a client had a different scope of authority, and Plenipotentiary was the highest type of authority.
This meant that what he said on behalf of the defendant in court was almost the same as what the defendant said himself.
Gu Nianzhi guessed that the other party must have signed a plenipotentiary agreement, because in Keven’s condition, it was obvious that he could not speak on his own.
Whether he was really physically and mentally exhausted or was planning to feign mental illness, he was not allowed to answer Gu Nianzhi’s questions on his own.
For rich people, when they encountered matters related to the law, they would not say a word. They were all fully represented by professional lawyers.
This was because lawyers knew what to say and what not to say. This was their professionalism.
Gu Nianzhi also knew that it was impossible to dig out evidence directly from Keven’s mouth, so she had planned to start with his legal team.
She smiled and returned to Keven’s identity document, which was also his resume, she said, “Mr. Arif, I have here a list of Keven’s classmates from the fifth, eleventh, and university years in New York. Can you ask your client to circle the names of the five classmates he is most familiar with?”
As she spoke, Gu Nianzhi took out the three yearbooks that she had prepared beforehand.
Arif was amused when he saw them. This female lawyer was really stupid. How did she win the lawsuit in the past?
The yearbook that she took out did not only have names, but also photos!
Was this a free question?
Arif immediately walked out of the dock and took the yearbook from Gu Nianzhi. He happily showed it to Keven.
Lu Anpeng, who was sitting next to the dock, also smiled and shook his head, thinking that he had indeed overestimated her.
However, when he saw Arif place the classmate list in front of Keven and saw that Keven was slightly stunned, Lu Anpeng’s fingers secretly curled up. He was actually a little nervous.
