Half an hour later, the court reopened.
Chang Deyue was brought into the courtroom.
He probably never expected that even after leaving An's Group, disaster would suddenly come flying.
The prosecutor restated the facts of the case and said to Chang Deyue, "Now the plaintiff says that you worked with Wei Daguo to seek personal gain in private. Is that true?"
Chang Deyue was very uncomfortable.
Something from a year ago was dug up now.
Back then when they were scheming, it was clearly seamless.
He even helped Wei Daguo escape, and they did actually hide it from everyone. He thought he could sleep soundly.
Did Wei Daguo go crazy? Coming back to turn himself in.
And wrongly accusing An Yanyuan.
He's sick!
"Chang Deyue, please answer," said Jiang Xingfan with a stern face.
Chang Deyue came back to his senses.
He was visibly a little nervous.
His eyes couldn't help but look at An YanKun in the audience.
Back then, the two of them schemed this together. Now he was brought to court, so what about An YanKun?!
An YanKun's eyes were clearly wandering.
At that moment, he shook his head at Chang Deyue.
Meaning for him not to admit it.
Chang Deyue was trying to calm himself down. Just as he was about to open his mouth.
Ye Jinghuai suddenly stood up from his seat, "Mr. Chang, before you answer, I think there are some things I should make clear to you. First, the three contracts you signed privately are clearly fraudulent contracts. The payment accounts in the contracts just happen to be the same as the one that paid Zhang Wenzhen. Second, there were 6 billion personal transactions between Wei Daguo's account and yours, and the bank account statements clearly show this. Of course, I'm not threatening you or anything, I'm just telling you the evidence we have found so far, and reminding you that lying in court adds to your crime!"
Chang Deyue was visibly scared.
He didn't even know that the evidence was now so sufficient.
He couldn't possibly deny it.
Because he couldn't find evidence to prove that this matter had nothing to do with him.
He fell silent again.
He didn't even dare say anything.
Ye Jinghuai said to the judge, "Your Honor, since the suspect Chang Deyue does not answer, can it be taken as his admission of guilt?"
"If the suspect does not answer again, it will be regarded as the suspect's admission of guilt," the judge affirmed.
Ye Jinghuai asked Chang Deyue again, "Mr. Chang, I'll ask again, were the 6 billion in construction fees all pocketed by you?"
Chang Deyue gritted his teeth.
He just didn't want to admit it.
"Mr. Chang, your performance in court can also aggravate or mitigate your crime. Are you sure you want to remain silent?" Ye Jinghuai asked again.
Chang Deyue suddenly nodded, "It was me who found Wei Daguo to do it together back then. I did want to embezzle some personal gains from An's Group."
Chang Deyue's admission instantly stirred the courtroom.
So in the end.
Chairman An really was wrongly accused!
"Quiet!" The judge banged his gavel.
The scene quieted down again.
"Were all 6 billion pocketed into your wallet?" Ye Jinghuai asked.
"Yes, but I only got 3 billion. The remaining 3 billion are with An YanKun!" Without any hesitation, Chang Deyue directly stabbed him.
There are never any real friends in the business world, only common interests.
Ye Jinghuai smiled lightly.
An YanKun, sitting in the audience, his face changed color.
When Chang Deyue admitted it, he was already nervous to the point where his body was shaking. But he didn't expect that Chang Deyue would sell him out so quickly too!
And to think they were once so close in private.
"Please clarify," Ye Jinghuai said calmly instead.
Appearing very steady.
"An YanKun has always resented An's Group being controlled by An Yanyuan, so he would make little moves against An's Group from time to time to gain some private profits. At that time, the Hua Tan International project was handed over to me. During a private dinner with An YanKun, we came up with the idea on the spot to make money from this project. So we schemed this method together." Chang Deyue confessed everything.
"So Your Honor, shouldn't suspect An YanKun be brought to the stand now too?" Ye Jinghuai reminded.
At this time, An YanKun, sitting in his seat, his face changed color.
He hurriedly said, "I'm being falsely accused. I don't know anything about this at all. I'm being falsely accused."
Wen QingCui, An Hao, and An Xiao next to him were also shocked by the sudden reversal.
How did this happen to An YanKun?
Weren't they here to watch An Yanyuan's joke?!!
What joke was being watched now?
An YanKun was brought onto the stand directly by the bailiff.
An YanKun shouted at Chang Deyue, "Don't talk nonsense! When did I ever scheme this with you? All the evidence now is just the transaction records between you and Wei Daguo. What does that have to do with me?"
"I knew there would be trouble, and you would definitely push all the responsibility onto me! So I kept evidence for myself!" Chang Deyue said viciously, "Back then when you asked me to partner with Wei Daguo, I knew you had ulterior motives! So I made video archives of our conversations."
"You!" An YanKun's face turned red from anger.
"Mr. Chang, please present your evidence," Ye Jinghuai quickly said.
He knew very clearly that what Chang Deyue had was the most powerful evidence in this case.
Chang Deyue took out his phone, found a video from the encrypted files, and handed it to the court staff to play on the spot.
On screen was An YanKun and Chang Deyue sitting together plotting how to take the Hua Tan construction fees. All the details said in the video were completely consistent with what Ye Jinghuai said.
The truth came to light.
The facts of Chang Deyue and An YanKun's crimes were clear.
An Yanyuan was innocent.
The scene erupted in chaos again.
Gu Yan Sheng, sitting on the side, clenched his fists tightly.
The duck that was about to reach his mouth.
Really flew away from his mouth!
"Do the defendants Chang Deyue and An YanKun have anything else to say?" The judge asked solemnly.
The two remained silent.
"Do the lawyers on both sides have any other questions?" the judge asked.
Jiang Xingfan had an extremely ugly expression.
Clearly, he lost this lawsuit.
Perfectly countered by Ye Jinghuai.
He said, "No more."
"I do," Ye Jinghuai stood up from his seat again.
His voice was sonorous.
Listening to it gave An Nuan a sense of security for some reason.
She suddenly felt that choosing Ye Jinghuai for the lawsuit was the wisest decision she made!
"Does the defense counsel have any other questions?" the judge asked.
"The facts of Chang Deyue and An YanKun's crimes are clear and need no doubt. However, there are still many unresolved suspicions about Wei Daguo," Ye Jinghuai pointed the spearhead at Wei Daguo again.
