After the divorce, he took care of his child and sold fried rice; his ex-wife was filled with regret

According to the materials, the restaurant he currently operates is a rented shop!

"Moreover, the place he is currently living in is also rented! In business logic, a tenant without ownership of property has almost zero ability to withstand risks! If the landlord defaults, or if there are any unforeseen circumstances, the defendant could face homelessness at any time."

He turned to look at Chu Jianming, his tone becoming pained and indignant, and began to belittle Lin Fan's living conditions in every way.

"Your Honor, forcing a five-year-old girl to live this insecure and uncertain life as a tenant every day is a disaster for her future!"

"The plaintiff, Ms. Su Qing, owns several high-end villas and large-sized apartments in Jiangcheng."

"What she can provide for her child is a private bilingual school and the absolute best living conditions! The difference in living conditions and educational resources between the two is like heaven and earth!"

Attorney Zhang delivered a final summary statement:

"What the child needs is a stable and comfortable home! Not to be adrift with a self-employed individual who doesn't even own a house! In terms of the stability of fixed assets and the social class of their living environment, the plaintiff has an overwhelming advantage!"

The courtroom fell silent.

Attorney Zhang's argument about "not owning any property" is indeed reasonable and hits the biggest weakness of a newly established sole proprietor.

In the plaintiff's seat, Su Qing's tense shoulders finally relaxed completely.

Yes, even if you, Lin Fan, rely on luck to earn tens of thousands of yuan in cash every day.

But ultimately, you're just a tenant who doesn't even own a house. Without fixed assets, you're like a rootless duckweed in court—how can you compete with the Su Group in terms of stability?

In the dock, Chu Jianming put down the case file in his hand and looked up at the defendant's seat.

"Do the defendant and their lawyers need to respond to the plaintiff's questions regarding fixed assets and residential stability?"

All eyes in the courtroom instantly focused on Lin Fan.

He does not own any property.

Although the property certificate for Lao Liu's shop is in his possession, he personally promised Lao Liu that the house is a safety net and that the property will not be transferred to his name until Xiao Yu is fully recovered and no longer needs large sums of medical expenses.

His moral compass made it impossible for him to selfishly transfer the life-saving house to his own name just to win the lawsuit.

However, in a court that values ​​real money and proof of ownership, without the transfer of ownership, the shop does not belong to him.

Lin Fan's face turned pale, his lips pressed tightly together, and the muscles in his jaw tensed slightly from the effort. He felt an unprecedented sense of passivity.

Sitting next to him, Wang Zhengming keenly noticed Lin Fan's stiff body and unpleasant expression.

As a lawyer, he knew all too well the disadvantages that honest people like Lin Fan faced in court.

People who uphold morality and abide by the rules are often cornered by those who scheme and plot.

In situations like this, it's time for a lawyer to step in and take the fall.

Wang Zhengming stood up from his chair.

"Your Honor, of course we need to respond."

He turned around, took two documents out of his briefcase, and handed them to the court clerk who was walking over.

"The plaintiff's lawyer has been emphasizing the so-called 'material disparity' and 'poor living conditions.' But the fact is, although the defendant does not currently own any property, he has been renting a 200-square-meter river-view apartment in Jinmao Mansion, a top luxury residential area in Jiangcheng, for 15,000 yuan per month."

Wang Zhengming's voice was steady and his pronunciation was clear.

"This is a notarized housing lease agreement. The living environment, security level, and surrounding educational resources of Jinmao Mansion are among the best in the entire city. The defendant is fully capable of providing the child with a very comfortable material life, and there is absolutely no 'displacement' as the plaintiff claims."

Attorney Zhang was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered and let out a disdainful sneer.

"Attorney Wang, a rented luxury house is still just a rented house! Without property rights, it means there's no ability to withstand risks. This doesn't change the fundamental problem of him not having stable assets under his name! If the landlord suddenly breaches the contract and evicts him, he'll still have to sleep on the streets with his children!"

"Attorney Zhang, you seem to have some misunderstanding about the term 'risk resistance capability'."

Wang Zhengming turned his head and looked at Attorney Zhang, his eyes becoming unusually sharp.

He didn't press Lin Fan about renting a place anymore, but instead reached into his briefcase and pulled out a photocopy with an English heading.

"Your Honor. The plaintiff claims to possess substantial fixed assets and absolute stability. However, according to our legitimate investigation, the facts are quite the opposite."

Wang Zhengming held up the copy in his hand, his voice echoing clearly in the courtroom.

"The plaintiff, Ms. Su Qing, in order to cover the huge funding gap in the Su Group's IPO in the US, borrowed a high-interest bridge loan of up to 500 million RMB from HSBC Capital in Hong Kong in her personal capacity just a few days ago!"

Upon hearing this, Su Qing's expression changed drastically while sitting in the plaintiff's seat.

She sat up abruptly, staring intently at the document in Wang Zhengming's hand, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She handled this matter with extreme secrecy; even the company's core executives knew very little about it. How exactly did the other party discover this secret loan?

Wang Zhengming gave her no chance to catch her breath and continued:

"Your Honor, to the best of my knowledge, the interest rate on this loan is far above the market average, and the terms are extremely harsh."

"If there are any delays in the listing review of the Su Group next week, or even the slightest break in its cash flow, the plaintiff's shares will be forcibly liquidated, and she will face hundreds of millions of yuan in personal debt, or even outright bankruptcy!"

Wang Zhengming slammed the copy heavily on the table, then turned to stare at Attorney Zhang and the pale-faced Su Qing.

"On one side is my father, who has no debts, earns 100,000 yuan in net profit every day, and works steadily. On the other side is my mother, who has staked her entire fortune on a betting agreement and could go bankrupt at any time, leaving her with hundreds of millions of yuan in debt."

Wang Zhengming posed a resounding question:

"Attorney Zhang, tell me now, whose risk tolerance is practically zero? Whose life is teetering on the edge of uncertainty?!"

The courtroom was completely silent.

Attorney Zhang's expression froze completely. He turned to look at Su Qing, and a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

When Su Qing signed this performance-based agreement, she didn't even confide in her legal team!

He had no idea that his employer was carrying such a time bomb!
