Just after being thrown into the lake, seven beautiful women blocked the door calling him "husb

Zhang Wei's voice echoed in the solemn courtroom.

It sounded particularly jarring and was filled with the smug satisfaction of a triumphant revenge.

"Your Honor! Before we begin the courtroom debate..."

We request to submit to the court a completely new piece of evidence that could overturn the nature of this case!

His voice was loud and clear, ensuring that everyone present could hear him clearly.

"This evidence directly proves that the defendant, Shengshi Group, engaged in serious contract fraud!"

Contract fraud!

These four words were like a bombshell.

The discussion erupted among the more than 300 owners of unfinished buildings in the audience.

"Scam! I told you it was a scam!"

"You sons of bitches, developer! Give me back my hard-earned money!"

"Sentence him! He must be sentenced to death!"

In an instant, the entire courtroom transformed into a bustling marketplace.

Countless gazes filled with hatred once again transformed into sharp swords.

They all stabbed at the expressionless man in the defendant's dock.

Judge Zhou Guoqiang's face darkened.

He picked up the gavel and slammed it heavily on the table.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

"quiet!"

The judge's stern rebuke temporarily quelled the commotion.

But the tense atmosphere in the air, as if a storm was brewing, grew even heavier.

Zhou Guoqiang's sharp gaze swept across the noisy audience seats.

Ultimately, the blame fell on the composed Zhang Wei, and the case turned to the defendant's seat.

"Submission approved."

Upon receiving permission, Zhang Wei's smugness was almost overflowing.

He gave his assistant a meaningful look, and the assistant understood immediately.

He respectfully presented a document to the judge through the court clerk.

At the same time, the huge curtain in the center of the courtroom lit up.

A scanned copy of a document was clearly projected onto it.

The title, the content, and that bright red thing at the very bottom.

The official seal with its internal serial number is clearly visible.

[Minutes of the 32nd Mayor's Office Meeting Regarding the Adjustment of the Planned Use of Some Plots in the Chengdong New Area]

The impact of the evidence is devastating.

The moment Qin Kexin saw the contents of the screen.

Her pretty face drained of all color, turning deathly pale.

She subconsciously turned her head to look at Chen Ye beside her, hoping to find some support from him.

But upon seeing this, her heart sank into an abyss.

Chen Ye stared blankly at the curtain in front of him.

He sat upright, but his posture was terrifyingly empty.

He completely lost the commanding presence he once had in the office.

He no longer possessed the thuggish and roguish air he had when he verbally abused Zhang Wei in front of the courthouse.

He just sat there, motionless, like a wooden puppet that had been scared out of its wits.

How could this happen?

This is completely different from what they planned!

Zhang Wei took in Chen Ye and Qin Kexin's reactions.

His smile widened even further.

He cleared his throat and picked up another copy of the document in front of him.

Begin reading aloud with a melodious and rhythmic tone.

"Your Honor, distinguished homeowner representatives! Please look at the big screen!"

"This is a meeting summary issued by the New City Government Office."

It is clearly recorded that the deadline for the final payment for the "Shengshi Huating" project in Xincheng was approaching.

That is, before June 1st, relevant departments of the municipal government.

At an internal meeting held on May 15th, a resolution to adjust the land use of the plot was passed in principle!

He concluded that Chen Ye was finished.

The card he's playing is a sure win!

Qin Kexin's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.

Looking at Chen Ye's "soulless" appearance.

He was so anxious that his forehead and the back of his hands were covered in a fine layer of cold sweat.

The man who turned a dead end around with a clever trick in the office.

How could they be so easily defeated?

But his current appearance made her suspicious.

Is the plan going to fall through?

If we don't take action now, it will really be too late!

Zhang Wei's voice still echoed in the courtroom, full of the air of a victor.

"...The resolution to adjust the land use of this plot has been passed in principle!"

Just as he finished reading this most crucial sentence.

Qin Kexin made an extremely subtle move.

She pretended to take something from the thick pile of files on the table.

Lean forward slightly.

He gently nudged Chen Ye's thigh with his elbow under the table.

At the same time, her other hand was placed under the table.

He pushed the prepared counterclaim forward a little further.

He pressed his long, slender index finger firmly against the words "countersuit".

An invisible electric current seemed to travel up Chen Ye's thigh and instantly strike his central nervous system.

His "KTV soul" was stunned by the grandeur of the courtroom and the undisguised hatred that filled the room.

It was instantly obliterated by the impact.

The original owner's legal knowledge seemed to have completely taken over this body.

All the strategies, legal provisions, and contingency plans for counterclaims were in my mind.

At that moment, everything became crystal clear.

The emptiness and confusion in his eyes vanished without a trace.

A cold smile slowly appeared on that handsome face.

The change in expression was so quick that almost no one noticed.

But Zhang Wei, who was sitting opposite him and had been keeping a close eye on him out of the corner of his eye, caught it.

Zhang Wei's heart skipped a beat.

An extremely ominous premonition suddenly welled up from the bottom of my heart without any warning.

What happened?

Shouldn't he be terrified?

Just as Zhang Wei finished reading the evidence and was preparing to deliver his highly inflammatory concluding remarks...

A hand was raised from the defendant's dock.

"Your Honor, I object."

Chen Ye's voice was soft, and he interrupted Zhang Wei in a calm and indifferent tone.

Judge Zhou Guoqiang looked at him.

"The defendant's attorney shall state the grounds for objection."

All eyes were once again focused on Chen Ye.

They all wanted to see how this developer's lackey would respond.

Chen Ye slowly stood up.

He straightened his tie in front of everyone.

"What I object to is not the other party's right to submit evidence."

"What I object to is this so-called 'evidence' itself."

After he finished speaking, his gaze finally turned to Zhang Wei, who looked bewildered.

"Your Honor, I would like to ask the plaintiff's attorney a question."

"Has this 'meeting minutes' you submitted been published in any issue of the 'New Town Government Gazette'?"

What is the official date of its public announcement?

This completely unexpected question left Zhang Wei stunned on the spot.

He wasn't prepared for this at all.

In his opinion, this is not important at all!

He instinctively replied, "That's not important!"

The important thing is that this memo proves that your client was informed in advance...

"No, this is very important."

Chen Ye interrupted him directly, unleashing his full aura at that moment.

According to relevant Chinese laws, records, minutes, and other documents formed by administrative organs during internal discussions and research processes are considered valid documents.

It does not have universal legal binding force before it has been formally publicized through legal procedures!

"The only legal basis for determining whether a market entity 'should have known'"

It's a document publicly released by the government through channels such as the "Government Gazette"!

"Instead of obtaining those worthless internal documents through illegal channels!"

He spoke the word "waste paper" with great emphasis and harshness.

These words caused an uproar in the room.

Some knowledgeable lawyers in the gallery instantly showed disbelief and shock on their faces.

Judge Zhou Guoqiang leaned forward slightly.

He took a deep look at the young man in the defendant's seat, who exuded an aura of authority.

A slight fluctuation appeared on that serious face.

He gestured for Chen Ye to continue.

Chen Ye didn't give Zhang Wei any time to react at all.

From the documents that Qin Kexin had already prepared.

He pulled out another document, held it high, and his voice echoed throughout the courtroom.

"Your Honor! Our evidence shows that there is a proposed adjustment to the municipal planning in connection with this case."

The first public announcement in the "New City Government Gazette" was made on June 15th!

"It was a full 14 days later than the last payment date for our client!"

He slammed the document down on the table with a loud bang.

Therefore, our client has not committed any fraudulent act.

On the contrary, he is someone who strictly adheres to contractual agreements, actively fulfills contractual obligations, and is full of confidence in the project…

"victim!"

At this moment, the situation has been completely reversed!

The anger and hatred on the faces of the homeowners in the gallery gradually turned into astonishment and confusion.

Chen Ye looked at Zhang Wei, whose face was ashen, and revealed a sinister smile.

He held up the "counterclaim" that Qin Kexin had just pushed to him under the table.

"Your Honor! Based on the above facts, we hereby request the court to dismiss all of the plaintiff's unreasonable claims in accordance with the law."

"I will also file a counterclaim against the plaintiff's legal representative in court, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Civil Procedure Law!"

"We accuse the plaintiff's representative of 'the crime of infringing upon commercial reputation and product reputation'!"

They also requested the court to immediately initiate criminal investigation proceedings against him for allegedly "illegally obtaining and intentionally leaking official documents of state organs!"

"Please, court, accept this case immediately!"

The moment he finished speaking, Chen Ye presented the menacing counterclaim.

It has been handed over to the clerk, who is completely stunned.

The entire courtroom erupted in uproar, like a landslide or a tsunami, completely detonating!

Boom!

Judge Zhou Guoqiang's gavel fell heavily.
