Chapter 110: The Hidden Truth
After making a storm of severe accusations, the male lawyer standing on the plaintiff's bench straightened his clothes, sat down slowly, and looked at Gu Meiyan, who was pretending to be calm across from her, with an even bigger smile.
His name is Yuan Shang, and he went to the same school as Gu Meiyan. After graduation, he relied on his solid foundation and the advantages of a family of lawyers to enter Sequoia Law Firm, the leading law firm in the capital star circle. After seven years of hard work, he finally made a name for himself in the industry
He is famous and is known as the number one among his peers in the industry.
However, four years ago, Gu Meiyan, who had always been unknown, took over the contract dispute between the popular federal singer Ye Mengqi and the original entertainment company through unknown channels.
Although Ye Mengqi, who was only thirteen years old at the time, could only be considered a young girl, she was on the rise of her career. She captured the hearts of everyone in the Federation with her moving singing voice and cute appearance. Later, she won the hearts of everyone in the Federation with her song "Silver Wings"
"Icarus" has completely become popular throughout the starry sky and can be called a legend in the entertainment industry.
However, at this time, it was reported that she had a contract renewal dispute with Xing Shang Entertainment. After the negotiations between the two parties failed, everyone was puzzled. Gu Meiyan submitted a complaint on her behalf, and Xing Shang Entertainment was
The company went to court.
Originally, everyone was not optimistic about this lawsuit. After all, although Ye Mengqi is a popular singer, she is just a singer. She is trying to make a living under Xing Shang. How can she compete with this behemoth in the entertainment industry, even if she obtains some trivial things?
As for compensation, as long as the other party of the contract is responsible, it will not be so easy to terminate the contract. If not, you may end up being banned directly by Xue Zang.
This lawsuit attracted a lot of attention at the time, and because both parties were insisting on their own opinions and were in a stalemate, the matter became more and more troubled.
However, at this moment, Gu Meiyan finally revealed her trump card.
A well-known agent from Xingshang once made unreasonable demands on Ye Mengqi, and repeatedly tried to molest him, and produced corresponding "evidence".
As a result, the entire Federation was in shock. Angry fans and even people from the Federation who were not fans blocked the office building of Xing Shang Entertainment that day, almost forcing its chairman to jump off the building on the spot to prove his innocence.
However, bystanders who still had some sense also raised doubts. Since they suffered such unfair treatment, why did Ye Mengqi, the person involved, not raise the issue?
This storm broke out in the Supreme Court in the 29th year of the Silver Cross Constitution. Ye Mengqi appeared in court to defend the case in person.
In the solemn court, the presiding judge kindly asked this seemingly idiotic question.
In the eyes of others, Ye Mengqi must be afraid of the hidden rules of the entertainment industry and afraid to speak out due to pressure from within the industry and even from the top.
At that time, Ye Mengqi shook his head and said to the live broadcast camera with a handsome face: "The reason why I stand in this position today is not because I hate Xingshang Entertainment Company. On the contrary, I
I am very grateful that it has given me this opportunity to let everyone hear my singing. I like singing very much, but I also need to earn more
A lot of money, because when we were singing and dancing, there were still many people of the same age like me who could not go to school. I hope that through my own efforts, more of them can get the opportunity to receive education. I also want to pass
This opportunity allows more people to pay attention to this vulnerable group, which needs our help so much."
This seemingly unanswered answer brought a certain group of people to widespread attention in the Federation for the first time. And more people also learned through various channels that more than 90% of the wealth Ye Mengqi earned was invested in public welfare funds.
, specially build schools and hire teachers for children who cannot go to school due to institutional problems.
This lawsuit, which has been broadcast live on federal television for a long time, suddenly stopped reporting, but it also indirectly confirmed that there is indeed a group in the federation that has been ignored due to institutional problems, and the people of the federation also fell into silence and contemplation.
middle.
There is no need to elaborate on this lawsuit. Ye Mengqi won the case. At the same time, her simple and selfless courage to fight against injustice also brought her status in the hearts of federal citizens to a higher level.
Gu Meiyan also became famous through such a lawsuit. Later, she established her seat as the federal first lawyer through several large lawsuits such as the Bond Mining Property Rights Dispute. How could Yuan Shang, a senior, not
envy.
Yuan Shang once thought that it would be difficult for him to surpass the other party's achievements in his life. When he learned that it was Gu Meiyan who was fighting against him in the war apostle riot case, he was filled with unspeakable ecstasy. For this reason, he did
After making the most perfect preparations, she was waiting for Gu Meiyan to surrender.
Even though Gu Meiyan is the top lawyer in the federation, he does not believe that the other party can change anything under such a highly criticized situation. As long as this lawsuit is successfully won, the so-called myth of never losing a lawsuit will be broken by Yuan Shang.
.
When Gu Meiyan was able to become famous in one fell swoop with the help of Ye Mengqi, Yuan Shang could also step on Gu Meiyan's shoulders and step onto the altar.
Facing Yuan Shang's severe accusation, Gu Meiyan breathed a sigh of relief, then packed up the materials in her hands, stood up, bowed to the five military judges, then glanced at Yuan Shang, and slowly said: "Excuse me.
I would like to take the liberty to ask you, Yuan Shang, before I reply, whether the case you know is really the truth?"
The presiding judge frowned. Gu Meiyan's behavior was somewhat inconsistent with the court's trial procedures, but considering the other party's reputation and consistent style, he did not criticize her.
When Yuan Shang heard this, he also frowned and said nothing. The materials handed over to him by the military were relatively complete, but he always felt that there was something missing. However, this was a case that was destined to win. He immediately smiled and said: "The witnesses and material evidence are all there."
Now, do you still want to make excuses?"
But in the hearing room, the expressions of several of them changed drastically. They were all very few people who knew the inside story. The Titan War Apostle incident was kept strictly confidential, and the parties involved also signed confidentiality agreements, and most of them were in the remote and remote Titan.
Star, logically speaking, few people in the Capital Star Circle would know the truth.
Even if he knew it, he would not expose this secret out of self-interest, because this would be a challenge to the credibility of the entire federal military and would surely be ostracized and retaliated by all of them.
Originally, they thought they were just going through the motions today, but they didn't expect that not long after the court session, something unexpected happened.
Luo Jiate, who was sitting next to Isa, narrowed his eyes even more. Only he, Suyecangna and a few other people knew that the real perpetrator Shi Chen, who was Xu Qiusheng's imposter, was killed directly after the Titan War Apostle incident.
Missing.
Originally, they speculated that Shi Chen should still be hiding in Titan. Later, Gu Meiyan suddenly announced that she would become Xu Qiusheng's defense lawyer. Most of them just thought that Xu Qiusheng's friends in Titan hired this lawyer to show their loyalty.
Now it seems...could it be that the other party really came to the capital star circle without anyone noticing?
As for Suyacana, she also clenched her fists slightly.
"Your Honor, I apply to show a piece of evidence." Gu Meiyan said.
The presiding judge nodded and took the storage disk from Gu Meiyan. Immediately, a photo appeared on the multimedia holographic display table, a family photo of a family of three.
For a moment, several people in the court screamed in surprise.
The blond woman in the photo is holding a newborn baby, her face full of happiness, but the man next to her is annoyingly mosaic.
"I believe many people present have recognized the woman in this photo." Gu Meiyan stood up, walked out of the seat, pointed at the woman in the photo and said with a solemn face: "Yes, she is our eldest princess.
, Al Salia, Her Highness Elizabeth."
There were a lot of exclamations in the courtroom. People who were hesitant at first couldn't accept this answer. Why did the long-lost Princess suddenly receive news and even have a child?
Who is the father of this child? Who is the man who was mosaicd? Many people looked at Xu Qiusheng and shook their heads resolutely. They couldn't believe that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess would choose such a person.
A boy whose hair hasn't even grown yet.
"Protest." Yuan Shang felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart. He looked at the chief judge and said solemnly: "This has nothing to do with this case."
"Protests are ineffective."
Because at this moment, the photo on the holographic display table had been changed. The woman in this photo was holding two modified Barrett sniper rifles in both hands and firing at the mecha in the distance.
There were many gasps in the courtroom, and even an old man pointed at the photo tremblingly and shouted: "Where is His Highness now?"
Although the Federation has still had troubles with the Empire since its inception, it has generally been smooth sailing. As the royal family of Elizabeth who led the Federation to victory, it is natural that the royal family must be indispensable, and her success and retirement have earned her the respect of all the people of the Federation.
But in such a situation where the country is peaceful and the people are safe, their eldest princess would be in such danger, and they and others knew nothing about it! This made many people feel guilty and even angry at the thought of humiliating their ministers to death!
Suyecangna finally couldn't sit still, and what made her confused and frightened was that hadn't the camera records of the Titan Thirteenth District Traffic Bureau been deleted long ago? Why was this picture obviously taken by a road camera?
Will the photos be circulated?
What worried him happened. A third photo appeared on the slide. Her Royal Highness Liya, covered in blood, was held up in the palm of a giant body covered with broken parts. Not far away, another machine was bombarded.
The new mecha on the wall, and the architectural comparison pictures next to it, clearly show that these photos were taken in the 13th area of Titan.
And that metal giant is the War Apostle.
There was an uproar inside the court.
After seeing this photo, Yuan Shang slumped back in his seat, his face becoming extremely pale. A clear story line was connected together through these three simple photos, and a huge conspiracy was exposed to everyone in the federation.
