Reborn Aristocrat: Oppressing Chapter 171 – Satisfying Court (Chapter 7)

Chapter 171: Satisfying Court (7)

An inconspicuous woman entered the courtroom.

“Please introduce yourself,” the judge said.

“I’m Liu Qian, an accountant for the pioneer information corporation. I’m in charge of the contract regarding purchases from Lu Firm. I handled the contract for Lu Firm in January, March, and April of last year. At that time, my boss told me to apply according to the contract, and the contract took effect soon after. After it took effect, my boss told me to transfer forty-five million yuan of the contract to different accounts. The amount is exactly the same as what Chairman Lu Zishan said just now. I have the bank statement that was generated when I entered the contract.” With that, the staff member took the documents from Liu Qian.

The presiding judge checked.

At this point, the prosecutor said, “This won’t rid us of the fact that Lu Zishan is a suspect. It doesn’t mean that this fake contract was approved by you.”

“I have a witness.”

“Call the witness.”

A middle-aged man with a huge belly appeared.

“I’m Zhang Cheng, the general manager of the development notice. When I signed the contract, I negotiated with Wu Zhengwei on my own. I’ve never done a contract like this before, so I thought about it and asked him why Chairman Lu wasn’t around. Deputy Chairman Wu said that he was on a business trip and that he had full authority over the contract. But since there were risks involved in the contract, I was afraid that I would be held accountable, so I recorded the conversation while I was discussing the contract.”

“Is the recording here?”

“Yes.” Zhang Cai got the staff to do the honors.

It was broadcasted live.

The content was clear-cut that the development company had forked out a sum of money for Lu Firm. It would even increase the transaction tax that was originally only five percent to eight percent, and the additional three percent would be the additional fees that the development company would obtain.

There was an uproar after hearing the recording.

Everyone turned to look at Wu Zhengwei.

Wu Zhengwei was starting to panic as well. He was fidgeting, and his face was pale.

“I have another witness,” Lu Zishan continued.

Everyone was still in shock.

This was an overwhelming counterattack.

“Call the witness.”

“I’m a legal person for the land in Sanjiang Village in Peimen Town. At that time, I was intending to sell it to Lu Firm for two hundred million yuan. Lu Firm had been looking for me to negotiate with them. One day, Wu Zhengwei came to look for me and said that in order to minimize our losses, Lu Firm could reduce their transaction taxes by a portion. The contract was to be accessed through a system ledger of sixteen million yuan, and the remaining forty million yuan would be used in private transactions. At the same time, they would also give a portion of the money to the Planning Bureau to reduce the value of the land. I was a farmer and didn’t understand that this was against the law, so I agreed. Back then, the private contract for forty million yuan was given to me by Wu Zhengwei, with Lu Zishan’s signature on it. I signed it without thinking much.”

This fact proved that the contract was not signed by both parties on the spot. Nobody had seen it with their own eyes, and no one could verify that Lu Zishan had signed it personally!

All in all.

The truth was out.

It went without saying who made the deal in private.

“Judge, my defense ends here.” Lu Zishan narrowed his eyes. “At the same time, I would like to sue Deputy Chairman Wu Zhengwei for bribery, tax evasion, and harming Lu Firm’s public image!”

With that.

Everyone went quiet.

Everyone turned to look at Wu Zhengwei.

Wu Zhengwei was getting anxious and could not calm down at all.

He had not expected that he would end up shooting himself in the foot.

Everything was done so flawlessly. Where did Lu Zishan get the ability to investigate so thoroughly?
