Chapter 351 Dad, thank you
The days passed quickly.
That morning, the sun shone brightly at the entrance of the Han City Court.
Li Menghan and Lu Wenzhou walked into the court together.
They were all dressed in very neat suits today, and their expressions were very serious.
Inside the courtroom.
Wang Lei stood in the dock.
He looked very relaxed today.
He was wearing a designer jacket and his hair was neatly combed.
When he saw Li Menghan walk in, a very smug and arrogant smile immediately appeared on his face.
Wang Lei spoke very loudly in the courtroom, directly mocking Li Menghan:
"Hey, isn't this our Boss Li?"
"What? Didn't you lose badly enough in court last time? You're suing me again today?"
"I advise you to give up. Your so-called evidence is simply not enough to bring me down."
"Consider that money as tuition. Be more careful when you do business in the future!"
After Wang Lei finished speaking, he laughed out loud with great pride.
The judge struck the gavel and said loudly:
"Silence! Court is now in session!"
The courtroom immediately fell silent.
Li Menghan's lawyer stood up.
The lawyer for this case was found with the help of Lu Wenzhou; he is the top commercial crime lawyer in Han City.
The lawyer took out a thick stack of documents from his briefcase.
The lawyer looked at the judge and said loudly:
"Your Honor, the evidence we have submitted today is very substantial and fully proves the facts of the defendant Wang Lei's fraud."
Wang Lei stood there, and upon hearing the lawyer's words, he gave a disdainful sneer.
He thought to himself, "Say whatever you want, anyway, those overseas accounts aren't in his name."
but.
The evidence presented by the lawyer next instantly froze the smile on Wang Lei's face.
The lawyer presented the first piece of evidence.
"These are transaction records from several overseas banks."
"The above clearly shows that the more than 700 million yuan invested by Mr. Li Menghan was immediately dispersed and transferred to five overseas accounts after entering the defendant's shell company."
Hearing this, Wang Lei wasn't scared. He prepared to have his lawyer refute him.
However, Li Menghan's lawyer did not stop.
The lawyer produced a second piece of evidence and said loudly:
"These are the account holder information and signature records for these five overseas accounts."
"Although the account names are some foreign names."
"However, with the assistance of international police, we obtained the video recording of the account opening!"
The lawyer handed a USB drive to a court staff member.
A video immediately started playing on the big screen.
The video clearly shows Wang Lei opening a bank account abroad using a fake passport.
Wang Lei's face was very clear on the screen.
Upon seeing the video, Wang Lei's eyes widened immediately.
His body began to tremble.
"This...this is impossible!"
Wang Lei shouted loudly in his heart.
He went to open the account very discreetly. How did they get this video?
Li Menghan's lawyer then presented a third piece of evidence.
"These are screenshots of chat logs and call recordings between the defendant Wang Lei and overseas money laundering organizations."
"In these records, Wang Lei clearly explained his plan to defraud funds, as well as the entire process of how he intended to launder the money and keep it for himself."
The recording was played in the courtroom.
Wang Lei's voice came from the speakers.
"That kid is just a stupid rich kid. I just threw together a big model proposal and he invested hundreds of millions in me. You guys need to transfer the money out of here right away; I need to leave the country as soon as possible."
I heard this recording.
Everyone in the courtroom turned to look at Wang Lei.
Wang Lei is now completely panicked.
His face turned extremely pale, and his forehead was covered in sweat.
He shouted loudly:
"It's fake! All this evidence is fake!"
"The video is fake! The audio is fake too! You're framing me!"
The judge looked at Wang Lei and said in a very stern tone:
"Defendant, all the evidence has been examined by professional institutions and is entirely authentic."
"What do you have to say now?"
Upon hearing the judge's words, Wang Lei's legs went weak, and he almost fell to the ground.
He knew he was completely finished this time.
The evidence was so damning that he had no way to deny it.
His lawyer, standing nearby, shook his head upon seeing the evidence, indicating that there was nothing that could be done.
Wang Lei looked at Li Menghan sitting in the audience.
His arrogant demeanor from before had completely vanished.
He suddenly burst into tears.
He loudly begged Li Menghan for mercy:
"Boss Li! Student Li Menghan! I was wrong! I was really wrong!"
"I shouldn't have cheated you out of your money! I'll give it all back, okay? Please, please let me go!"
"I have a bright future ahead of me, I can't go to jail! Please talk to the judge, can we settle this privately?"
Li Menghan looked at Wang Lei's pitiful, begging appearance.
He felt no sympathy whatsoever.
He felt that swindlers like Wang Lei should be punished.
If it weren't for the irrefutable evidence his father provided today, he really wouldn't have been able to get his 700 million yuan back.
Li Menghan sat there with a very cold expression.
He looked at Wang Lei and said loudly:
"You brought this mess on yourself today!"
"Why didn't you think about the consequences when you were scamming people out of money?"
"It's no use begging me now. Let the law decide this matter!"
The judge struck the gavel.
The judge looked at Wang Lei and loudly read out the verdict.
"The defendant, Wang Lei, committed fraud involving an exceptionally large sum of money, and the circumstances were particularly serious. The evidence is conclusive."
"This court hereby pronounces its verdict: Defendant Wang Lei is guilty of fraud and sentenced to life imprisonment! All his personal property is confiscated!"
"The defrauded funds will be fully returned to the plaintiff, Mr. Li Menghan."
Hearing the words "life imprisonment"...
Wang Lei's eyes rolled back and he fainted on the ground.
The bailiffs stepped forward, dragged Wang Lei up from the ground, and took him directly out of the courtroom.
The court hearing has ended.
Li Menghan and Lu Wenzhou walked out of the courthouse.
The sunlight outside felt wonderful on Li Menghan's skin.
The heavy weight that had been pressing on his heart for so many days finally lifted.
The money was returned, and the swindler was sent to jail.
Li Menghan turned her head, looked at Lu Wenzhou, and said very sincerely:
"Brother Lu, thank you so much this time. I definitely couldn't have accomplished this on my own without you."
Lu Wenzhou smiled and patted Li Menghan on the shoulder:
"No need to thank me. This is all thanks to you. You remained remarkably calm this time."
"After this experience, you will definitely become more mature in business."
Li Menghan nodded.
He took out his phone and looked at the more than 700 million yuan that had returned to his bank card.
He knew that all this evidence was actually collected for him by his father, Li Ze.
He knew it perfectly well.
Li Menghan silently said to Li Ze in her heart:
"Dad, thank you. I will never make this mistake again."
