The Return of the Reborn King

Chapter 478 The Jedi Counterattack (1)
Zhan Wenlan stared at Stephen and the royal counselor, his gaze was like a tangible light shining directly into the hearts of the two of them.The two of them seemed to have expected his reaction in this way, they just smiled, turned their faces away, no longer looking at him, but at the prosecution lawyer, with calm and casual expressions.It seemed that the other party just called out the phrase "slow down" and had nothing to do with them.

"Your Honor", lawyer Kong Fang scanned the entire court frankly, tapped his notebook lightly with the pen in his hand, and said slowly: "I have a new piece of evidence here, and I hope it can be submitted as evidence of the second trial. "

"Attorney for the prosecution, I believe I don't need to remind you that the new evidence must meet the basic requirements." The judge frowned, a little unhappy.Now that there is evidence, why didn't he submit it as soon as possible, and had to wait until he was about to announce the result, and then interrupted suddenly?
The prosecutor's lawyer nodded slightly, "Your Honor, please rest assured that this evidence is newly discovered after the end of the first-instance trial, and it fully complies with legal procedures."

The judge who had basically stood up slowly sat back in his chair and nodded lightly: "Yes, now submit new evidence."

"Thank you, Your Excellency." The prosecution lawyer turned around and suddenly nodded to the five people who had been sitting far away.In an instant, the focus of the entire court shifted to the back row.

They were five well-dressed but ordinary-looking middle-aged men, dressed in suits, meticulous, with a bit of restraint in their expressions. Under the silent reminder of the prosecutor's lawyer, they walked slowly to the lawyer's side.

"Your Honor, I believe you must understand that this time the lawsuits are filed by ten companies. Although the 'Alliance' has been receiving much attention, in fact, it is only five of the pharmaceutical companies that are suing. These five..." He gently Pointing to the five business people, "It's the other five representatives."

There was a sudden commotion in the whole court.

Although everyone knows that this lawsuit was jointly initiated by ten companies, from the beginning to the end, almost all of them were initiated by the "Alliance". The other five companies have already faded out of people's sight and blurred into the back.Who would have thought that the prosecutor's lawyer would suddenly invite these five representatives up at this moment?

"During the first trial, the defense lawyer presented a piece of evidence about Mr. Zhan Wenlan's private cooperation with some members of our alliance. There is no doubt about the authenticity after investigation. However, in order to investigate the matter more clearly, I have I learned some things in depth. This is a document about the financial arrangements made by Mr. Zhan Wenlan, who is X, to the company he holds in his hands when the British government and related agencies do not know that he is a foreigner." He suddenly took out A thick stack of information was handed over to the court staff: "These are all evidences jointly collected by five representatives of our side, and have been confirmed by the British Serious Fraud Prosecutor's Office (SFO). They are absolutely authentic and credible."

The whole audience was suddenly thundered, and almost everyone half stood up, looking at the stack of documents in the judge's hand.

The judge with a white wig looked through the documents with heavy eyes, his complexion turned white and red for a while, as if someone had put it on the palette.

Even the few staff members who were close to the judge couldn't help being curious.

The prosecutor's lawyer was clearly prepared and sent the copied materials to everyone present in the jury. This time, there was a shocked gasp in front of the court.

Zhan Wenlan looked at Stephen's indifferent expression, indifferent to the royal legal adviser, suddenly lowered his eyes, and slowly straightened his back.

At this moment, his three elite friends looked at Stephen coldly, but they were directly ignored by the other party.

"Your Excellency," the prosecutor's lawyer waited for everyone to see most of the evidence, and then continued: "I believe everyone has seen very clearly that this is a true financial report about X's holding company. Not only did X Some members of the alliance who do not pay attention to moral character have done private cooperation, and are even suspected of financial fraud. The financial accounts from 2009 to 2012 contained misleading, forged, and deceptive materials, and used extremely high consulting fees As well as the acquisition of unrelated companies, accumulatively falsely reporting financial income of 15 billion pounds, in violation of the relevant regulations of the "UK Companies Act" promulgated in 2006. The Bureau of Investigation has completed the investigation of related suspicions and decided to prosecute it. In view of the current alliance and The civil action between X, involving issues of financial fraud, will be transferred to the English Criminal Court to complete the other steps of the proceedings."

From a well-known British taxpayer, it was suddenly revealed as a financial fraud scandal. The entire court scene seemed to explode, and the discussion suddenly became as loud as in a train station. It was so noisy that people could even hear what people around them were saying. Not very clear.

The judge slapped the table vigorously: "Silence, silence!"

People's discussion is still somewhat uncontrollable.

What kind of turnaround is this?
Seeing that Zhan Wenlan is about to win the lawsuit, and seeing that all the crimes of X are about to be cleared, now, the financial scandal has been uncovered, and the civil case has been transferred to the criminal court at once.Not to mention, a direct prosecution by the Serious Fraud Office (SFO).The image of the company that had just been rescued suddenly plummeted. The representatives of the judges who might have thought that they had wronged Zhan Wenlan because of their preconceived notions looked coldly at Zhan Wenlan in the dock.No matter what, this lawsuit, until here, no matter how eloquent the royal counsel lawyer is, there will never be any change!

"Defense lawyer, what else can you say?" The judge has gone through many years of complicated cases, but this is the first time he has seen such a situation.It's almost like a comedy, shocking wave after wave.

If he was extremely surprised to see the sudden arrival of the five non-alliance accusers at the beginning, then now, the expressions of Stephen and the royal counsel, who have been standing by Zhan Wenlan's side and escorted him, are even more suspicious.

"Sorry, Your Honor, the defense has nothing to say." Without even turning his head, he ignored all the reactions of Zhan Wenlan. The royal counselor, smiling, warm, and with a natural expression, ended the whole thing with this sentence. crucial argument.

"You!" Zhan Wenlan's three friends suddenly stood up, wanting to rush up and grab the lawyer.

"Please pay attention to the order of the court!" The judge patted the gavel and looked straight at the three people: "If you continue to ignore the order of the court, I have the right to take you out of the court!"

The three of them were pushed away from behind by the court staff, their faces were blue and white, "Stephen, how dare you play dirty!"

Up to now, if you still don't know who did the trick, you almost have no brains!

The old butler of the Zhan family, Mrs. Zhan and the three elites looked at Stephen who was standing upright, wishing to kill him directly with their eyes!
