Hello, Mr. Major General

He Zhichu’s name was an unsurpassable existence in the eyes of the American lawyers that Keven had hired.

He had never actually gone to court to fight criminal cases, but he had done consulting for other lawyers on criminal cases. His ideas were all accurate, and he was an existence that could turn the tables.

The cases he personally handled were all related to business mergers.

The case that made him famous was a war of words in Congress. He helped clear the obstacles in the merger of two large mobile companies.

When an American company reached a certain size, whether it was a merger or a split, it could not be decided by itself. It needed the approval of Congress.

Otherwise, a big “Antitrust”label would be put on it. Those who wanted to merge would be ruined. Those who did not want to merge would be split. They would be taught what the Iron Fist of capitalism was in no time.

Therefore, the lawyers who worked on business cases in the United States were all elites among elites.

This was because such a large-scale business merger needed to convince hundreds of high-ranking and powerful senators who represented the interests of all parties in the entire Congress. It was not the same as a criminal case, where it was enough to convince the judges and juries in court, the difficulty and intensity of the work were not something that ordinary people could imagine.

In an instant, these people all had looks of yearning on their faces.

Gu Nianzhi was very happy when she saw this. Her eyes swept across the room and she said, “So the information I have is reasonable and legal. The defendant’s lawyer’s request is unreasonable. I hope the court can rescind it.”

The judge at the trial table discussed with the clerk and agreed to Gu Nianzhi’s request. He said, “We agree to rescind it. Defendant’s lawyer, please be careful with your evidence and don’t waste everyone’s time.”

Arif, the Indian lawyer, was red in the face and sat down embarrassedly. He even glared at Lu Anpeng, who was next to him.

He was the one who had refuted first, but he was the one who had been reprimanded.

Arif, the Indian lawyer, was not convinced.

Gu Nianzhi nodded at the judge and thanked him. “Thank you, your honor.”

She turned to look at the defendant’s bench and continued, “Because we discovered the contradiction in the racial identity of the defendant, Keven, our team conducted a further investigation.”

“The results showed that Keven’s identity had been filled in as Japanese from the time he was born to the time he graduated from university. However, when he applied for a passport to come to China a year ago, he chose the ethnic identity of ‘Chinese.’”

“When he came to our country, he had always been operating as a Chinese, and he quickly got along with everyone. No one suspected that he wasn’t Chinese.”

Gu Nianzhi walked to Keven’s dock and knocked on the table, keven smiled and asked, “Mr. Keven, can you explain to everyone why you suddenly changed your ethnic identity before coming to China? Are you trying to cover something up?”

Keven raised his head and stared at Gu Nianzhi for a while before calmly saying, “No, my father is Japanese, and my mother is Chinese, so it doesn’t matter what I choose.”

“Your father is Japanese?”Gu Nianzhi raised an eyebrow. “But your last name, Laris, doesn’t look like he’s Japanese.”

Laris was an American family name.

Keven sneered and said sarcastically, “Lawyer Gu, you don’t look like much. Didn’t you say you investigated me? How could you not know that my father was actually a Japanese orphan adopted by an American, Laris?”

Gu Nianzhi thought to herself, of course I know this, but why would I tell you?

She put on an expression of surprise and said, “Then this American, Laris, should be your grandfather… how could you use such a casual tone to talk about him? TSK TSK, how unfilial.”

Gu Nianzhi did not object to directly addressing her elders by their names, but she had to speak in a respectful tone, otherwise it would be very rude.

Keven pursed his lips. “I’m answering your question. What do you mean by tone? Are you out of tricks?”

Gu Nianzhi laughed. “Everyone knows when they’re out of tricks. Mr. Keven, your Chinese is pretty good.”

“As a japanese-american who was born and raised in the United States, you can still speak Chinese with a broadcasting accent. Your Chinese teacher must have some background.”

Gu Nianzhi rested one elbow on the dock, as if she was tired of standing and was looking for support. She then asked, “Mr. Keven, do you remember who your Chinese teacher was?”

Keven crossed his arms and sat back in his chair. He said indifferently, “Does this question have anything to do with this case? Can I refuse to answer it?”

“No. This question is closely related to the case.”Gu Nianzhi looked at him without batting an eyelid. “If you don’t tell me, I’ll Have Another reason to suspect that your identity is fake.”

Even so, Keven did not directly answer Gu Nianzhi’s question.

He glanced at Lu Anpeng. Lu Anpeng understood what he meant and immediately asked the judge for a ten-minute recess.

The judge agreed to his suggestion and let them go down to discuss countermeasures.

In the small meeting room next to the court, Kevin and Lu Anpeng asked, “Can I answer this question?”

Lu anpeng frowned and said, “I can’t see how important this question is. Why Can’t I answer it?”

“I’m just asking you for advice.”Kevin was also unhappy. “You can’t give professional guidance, and you still want to ask me back? Is this how you do things?”

Lu Anpeng’s face turned red and white from Keven’s words. Finally, he said, “Then who are your Chinese teachers? Are they very good?”

Keven:”…”

He said unhappily, “You’ve also been led astray by Gu Nianzhi? I really can’t figure out what this question has to do with this case. is she really not wasting time, or rather, stalling for time?”

“Once the trial starts, time is out of her control.”The Indian lawyer, Arif, tried to explain to Keven, “As long as your Chinese teacher has no problems, just say it and see what tricks she can come up with.”

Lu Anpeng was more cautious and careful. He thought about it and asked, “Then who are your Chinese teachers? Tell us and we’ll do a quick background check first.”

Keven could only say, “I’ve only had one private Chinese teacher since I was young, and that was du Yueming. She taught me Chinese for ten years, from the age of five to fifteen.”

“Du Yueming?”Lu Anpeng frowned even more. “She sounds a little familiar.”

“She’s very powerful. Now she owns a very large Chinese language training center in the United States. She no longer teaches private Chinese.”Keven introduced du Yueming’s background information to him, “Before she went to the United States, she worked as a host for the evening news program on Huaxia’s national television station. Her Chinese is very standard.”

Lu Anpeng finally understood and breathed a sigh of relief. He said, “No wonder Gu Nianzhi said your Chinese is a broadcasting accent. It’s indeed extraordinary. So your Chinese is taught by such a good person one-on-one.”

Keven smiled. He looked at his watch and said, “It’s time. Let’s go back.”

Back in the courtroom, Gu Nianzhi was still unforgiving. She pressed Keven on who his Chinese teacher was.

Keven said confidently, “It’s Miss du Yueming. She taught me Chinese from the age of five until the age of fifteen. I learned Chinese from her.”

Gu Nianzhi tilted her head and thought for a moment. “Du Yueming? Is she the du Yueming I think she is? She was once a well-known evening news host at the Huaxia national television station? That du Yueming?”

Keven still crossed his arms and nodded nonchalantly, he said meaningfully, “That’s her. But she left the Huaxia national television station many years ago and went abroad. I didn’t expect barrister Gu to know about this person at such a young age. She’s really not simple…”

Gu Nianzhi smiled cheekily. “You flatter me, you flatter me. This person is just too famous. Even now, there are many posts on the internet that reminisce about her.”

As an internet child, how could Gu Nianzhi not know this person?

Even though she had already left the country and settled down in another country.

“Really? That means she has a good business. That’s why I can speak Chinese with a broadcasting accent,”Keven said sarcastically.

Gu Nianzhi returned to her plaintiff’s seat and pulled up du Yueming’s profile and projected it onto the big screen, pointing at du Yueming’s handsome profile photo, she said, “This is the most famous evening news presenter of the Huaxia national television station back then. She had already made a name for herself when she went abroad.”

As she spoke, Gu Nianzhi changed the subject and looked at Keven. “Du Yueming teaches Chinese overseas, so her net worth is very high. With her status, she was able to teach large classes for hundreds of people. Twenty years ago, it was 5,000 US dollars per class.”

“If you want to hire her as a private tutor, as far as I know, the price is only higher than 5,000 US dollars a class.”

“But Mr. Keven, your family’s annual income was less than 50,000 US dollars when you were young. May I ask how your parents were able to pay at least 5,000 US dollars for a class and hire the famous du Yueming as your private tutor?”

Keven was stunned. He opened his mouth, but found that his reasons were all for naught.

Gu Nianzhi did not allow him to speak, she continued, “Don’t tell me du Yueming is teaching you Chinese for free. Why would he do such a thing for free? Your father had not made a name for himself back then, and his family was not considered rich or powerful. Why would he teach you Chinese for free?”

Lu Anpeng rubbed his temples. He knew that Gu Nianzhi’s every question was a trap, but what was infuriating was that the way she asked her questions was so unconventional that it was impossible to guard against.

It was exhausting to fight her in court.

Keven was still trying to come up with a reasonable excuse, but Gu Nianzhi had already thrown out du Yueming’s bill, she said, “Everyone, please take a look. This is du Yueming’s bank statement from back then. It is clearly shown that du Yueming would deposit four checks into his bank account every week. Each check is $5,000. The person who signed the checks was John Laris.”

“If I’m not mistaken, this John Laris is Kevin’s father, John Laris.”

“Mr. Kevin, Tell Me, your father’s annual salary was less than $50,000 twenty years ago. How did he pay the price of $20,000 a week to hire such an expensive Chinese private tutor for You When You Were Young?”? Where did this money come from?”
