Chapter 49 I am "Fake Gold" 19
"Auntie, is this...test result genuine?..."
"Based on the current information, a comprehensive assessment confirms that it is true."
"The original owner of this body... was really wronged."
Xiao Xiao was so angry that her lips trembled and her eyes turned red.
What exactly did the original owner of this body do wrong?
In both of his lives, he was eaten so thoroughly that not even bones or scraps remained.
The system administrator remained silent.
"I feel like throwing up... Adults are disgusting!"
The system auntie sighed, and then said:
"Tell your lawyer to review the new evidence and organize his next line of defense."
Xiao Xiao nodded slightly, suppressing her nausea, and whispered a few words to Attorney Dai.
Attorney Dai immediately stood up, explained the situation to the judge, and requested a five-minute recess to gather new evidence.
The judge nodded in agreement.
Attorney Niu and Zhou Chenshu across from them smiled at them, their smiles full of smugness.
Attorney Dai ignored them completely and quickly checked the new contents of the USB drive attachment.
After watching the entire video, he was completely stunned.
It took a long time for him to close his wide-open mouth.
He turned his head and glanced at the client.
The little girl was still sulking, her lips pouting, glaring fiercely at the lawyer across from her who was looking down at his documents.
The look on his face was as if he wanted to glare the other person to death.
He was astonished; how did they obtain such evidence?
Five minutes passed quickly, and the judge returned to the bench, and the trial continued.
After gathering his thoughts, Attorney Dai stood up to speak.
"I would like to ask the defendant's lawyer, during the trial you stated unequivocally that the defendant never said or implied that my client, Lin Xiaoxiao, was not Zhao Yiya's daughter, is that right?"
Attorney Niu paused for a moment, thinking to himself, "What's the point of you worrying about this little problem now?"
But he patiently stood up and replied with a smile:
Yes! But...
"you are lying!"
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted sharply by Attorney Dai.
Attorney Dai's entire demeanor changed; he became more aggressive, completely shaking off the dejected state he had shown at the end of the court hearing.
"Your Honor, I have a surveillance video here that clearly shows the conversation between my plaintiff and the defendant. I request that this evidence be played in court."
The judge nodded: "Yes."
An assistant came over and took the USB drive from Attorney Dai's hand.
The data here was copied from the villa's surveillance system by the system administrator; it's several tens of gigabytes in size.
Xiao Xiao didn't look at it and handed it directly to Attorney Dai, who would then select suitable evidence from it.
While rubbing the pen in his hand, Attorney Niu whispered to Zhou Chenshu:
"Have all the videos from the chairman's villa been completely deleted?"
"The technical department is in charge of the cleanup, so there shouldn't be any problems."
The court's projector started working, displaying a clear image.
In the corridor on the second floor of the villa, the original owner of Lin Xiaoxiao had a big argument with her father, Lin Feng.
Clutching the paternity test report, the original owner of this body broke down, crying and shouting:
"So I'm not your biological child, I was switched at birth? No, no."
How could I not be my mother's biological child?
I don't believe it, I don't believe it, you're lying to me....."
Lin Feng, sitting opposite her, simply stared at her coldly, remaining silent throughout.
"Then who are my biological parents? Where are they?"
"We haven't found it yet, we're still looking."
"So Lin Ya is Mom's biological daughter? So she's Mom's real daughter, and I was switched at birth?"
Lin Feng looked at Lin Xiaoxiao, whose face was streaked with tears and who was on the verge of a mental breakdown, with disgust, and said coldly:
"Yes!"
The image freezes on Raymond Lam's dignified and cold square face.
That "yes" was clearly recorded.
Attorney Dai stood up and gave Attorney Niu across from him a stern look.
Attorney Niu leaned forward, squinting as he watched the video, his smile fading slightly.
Zhou Chenshu was somewhat surprised, wondering how the other party had obtained the video footage from the villa.
He muttered to himself:
"What are the people in the tech department doing? How could they have gotten hold of this video?"
Although Chairman Lin Feng's behavior in the video was somewhat cold and despicable, they could still manage to cover it up.
Therefore, the two remained calm and composed, sitting there without panicking.
Attorney Dai looked at the other party, sneered, and said in a passionate tone:
"In the video, the defendant has accurately conveyed to my client the erroneous fact that Lin Ya is Zhao Yiya's biological daughter."
He knew perfectly well that my client was Zhao Yiya's biological daughter, yet he deliberately used this deceptive tactic to make my client feel guilty towards Lin Ya and Ye Zhiqing.
Upon hearing this, Attorney Niu immediately raised his hand to speak. After the judge granted his request, he stood up and said with a solemn expression:
“I acknowledge that my client’s memory of this event was distorted due to being too busy with his daily work.”
But what I want to say is that everything my client did during that period was influenced by that false paternity test result.
He mistakenly believed that his wife, Ms. Zhao Yiya, was having an affair, which led him to seek revenge against the plaintiff.
On behalf of my client, I offer my deepest apologies and remorse to the plaintiff, Lin Xiaoxiao.
The root of all this error lies in that false paternity test report, and while my client's actions were inappropriate, they were also understandable.
"Alright! I have one more question for the defendant's lawyer: what was the relationship between the defendant Lin Feng and Ye Zhiqing, mother and daughter, before Ms. Zhao Yiya's passing?"
"I refuse to answer that question; it is irrelevant to this case!"
"No, it is very important, Your Honor, because it will directly affect the judgment of the entire case."
After listening, the judge pondered for a moment, then looked at the defendant and said:
"Please answer truthfully, defense attorney!"
Helpless, Attorney Niu exchanged a glance with Secretary Zhou, considered his options, and then stood up to answer:
"To the best of my knowledge, although my client and Ms. Ye Zhiqing are currently husband and wife, they were only university classmates during the period of their marriage with Ms. Zhao Yiya."
He was wondering what the opposing lawyer's intention was in suddenly choosing Ye Zhiqing as the breakthrough point.
Even if you discover an improper relationship, so what?
This does not affect the final verdict; our side still holds a significant advantage.
“You are lying again. I have ample evidence to prove that the defendant maintained an intimate relationship with Ms. Ye Zhiqing both before and after marrying Ms. Zhao Yiya. Lin Ya is their illegitimate daughter.”
Attorney Dai then released videos and numerous intimate photos spanning several years.
Faced with overwhelming evidence, Attorney Niu acknowledged the fact, but he still protested without hesitation.
“I object to the opposing lawyer playing videos that are completely unrelated to my case, as this is suspected of violating my client’s privacy.”
The judge was also not allowed to issue a warning:
"Plaintiff's lawyers, please note that you should not present any materials that are not related to this case. We should focus on the evidence and facts that are relevant to this case."
"I understand, Your Honor. The purpose of presenting this evidence is to confirm the identity and relationship between the defendant Lin Feng and his daughter Ye Zhiqing. Please watch this video now."
