Reborn Aristocrat: Oppressing Chapter 169 – Satisfying Court (Chapter 5)

Chapter 169: Satisfying Court (5)

“Come here. Let me hug you.”

“Do you think this is a good time to flirt?” Lu Manman glared at Mo Yuanxiu.

“Then, I’ll remember that you owe me a hug.”

“…” When did she get herself into this trouble!

“It’s starting.” Mo Yuanxiu looked up.

Lu Manman hurriedly looked over.

Everyone was getting ready. The presiding judge was sitting in the middle, and on each side were the judges and scribes.

Lu Zishan was sitting at the defendant’s table.

Wu Jun was the defendant’s lawyer.

The plaintiff was the prosecutor and represented the Public Security Bureau in providing legal statements and defense for the case.

The scribe verified the defendant’s identity and then announced the court records. The presiding judge said, “Today, Wen City People’s Court will be holding a public hearing regarding the bribery and tax theft by Lu Zishan. I, along with four other jurors, will be holding the hearing. Everyone, please rise.”

Everyone stood up.

It was extremely solemn.

The presiding judge announced that they could be seated.

Then, he said, “Please elaborate on the facts of the case, Judge.”

The judge got up and said, “In March, during the corruption case of the deputy director of the original planning bureau, a huge amount of money of more than eight million yuan was found to have been spent on Lu Zishan, the president of Lu Firm. At the same time, it was verified that there was a private contractual relationship between Lu Zishan and the company when he purchased land in Taiwan at the end of last year to build the VIP club. Forty million yuan of the contract was deposited into the company’s private account through private transfers, resulting in a transaction and tax evasion of forty million yuan. The prosecution provides the suspect, Lu Zishan, with the following facts. First, the amount of money spent was stated in detail, and the method of bribery, as well as the objective, were handled by the deputy director of the original planning bureau personally. Second, the contract was handled in private and signed, and the signature was verified by Lu Zishan. Three million and four hundred thousand yuan were transferred in private, and four million yuan were frozen in the bank account, with corresponding bank account numbers and above. Lu Zishan is being persecuted for his crimes.”

“Does the accused want to add details to the judge’s statement?”

“No.” Lu Zishan faced the presiding judge calmly.

The presiding judge announced, “I now request the defendant’s lawyer to provide legal defense for the defendant.”

Wu Jun stood up and bowed to the presiding judge. He then said, “According to the prosecution’s lawyer, my client confesses to the crime…”

He smirked.

The crowd went wild.

He had already admitted to the crime without defending himself.

They had thought that as the president of Lu Firm, one of the top four families would be held accountable for his crime, but who would have known that he would resort to such a method? Of course, in a court case, such a thing was already considered a crime. If they acknowledged it in court, the sentence would be reduced, and many lawyers would advise the parties involved to perform well. But it was simply disappointing for the leader of the top four families, Lu Zishan, to do such a thing.

So many people in the audience were waiting for this exciting case, but who would have thought the end of suspense would come so fast?

Wen Yun sneered sarcastically.

He really thought that Lu Manman had what it took.

She was willing to send her father to jail for her sake. Was this woman really that vicious?!

He seemed to have thought of how he could defame Lu Manman and take the opportunity to improve his image.

At this point, Wu Zhengwei, who was sitting at the back, smiled deviously.

As the vice president of Lu Firm for so many years, he had no say in any important decisions simply because Lu Zishan was the president and the leader of the board. Back then, he had wanted to take advantage of the other shareholders to maximize his private interests. After all, only he and Lu Zishan had the right to manage the company, and the other shareholders would only receive dividends. As long as they collaborated and made more profits, no one would know. Furthermore, he had made it clear to Lu Zishan that he could have a smaller share. But Lu Zishan had rejected him without hesitation and even said that he was not being sincere enough. He even threatened that if he harbored such thoughts, he would be banned from the board of directors.
