Chapter 170: Satisfying Court (6) He had tolerated it back then, but now, he wanted revenge. At that point, Lu Qinzheng had approached him… Everything just clicked together. But now… Wu Zhengwei looked at Lu Zishan, who was sitting at the defendant’s table. He was elated to see his demise. The courtroom stirred slightly. The presiding judge said with a serious expression, “Everyone, quieten down. The defendant’s lawyer, please continue.” Wu Jun took a deep breath and was about to say something. “I don’t confess to the crime,” Lu Zishan suddenly said. This time. The entire court was shocked. The lawyer and the client being at odds in court was an unprecedented incident. This action intrigued the people in the audience seats. “I’ll defend myself. I’m innocent,” Lu Zishan said. He did not sound like he was joking. “Mr. Lu,” Wu Jun called him softly. Lu Zishan said to him, “I’ll do it myself.” With that, he got up from the defendant’s seat. “Before I defend myself, I need my daughter Lu Manman to provide evidence for my acquittal.” The presiding judge frowned. He had never encountered such a situation before. “Alright, please hand the evidence to the staff.” The presiding judge seemed to hesitate for a moment before agreeing. Lu Manman smiled and handed the document to the staff. The staff placed the document before the presiding judge. Lu Zishan said, “I bought a piece of land in Northgate Town worth two hundred million yuan last year. There was a series of procurement negotiations, and the final price was one hundred sixty million yuan. The first contract in your hands is the original draft, and I signed and stamped it with the other party. Both parties have registered, and the contract has taken effect. As for the forty-million-yuan contract in private, I did not sign it. I don’t know who signed it for me, and the way they handled it was almost identical to mine. I’m unable to defend myself now. But we can use other evidence to prove that I have nothing to do with this forty-million-yuan transaction. Please take out the second document, Judge.” “The second document contains a procurement contract for Lu Firm in January, March, and April last year, with the purchase of a batch of refined electronic hardware. As the presiding judge can see, I wasn’t the one who signed the three contracts; it was Deputy Chairman Wu Zhengwei. The equipment purchased for these three contracts is evident from the usage report, and has been used for the construction of multiple base stations. However, according to the construction list and on-site inspection, the electronic software type purchased isn’t consistent with the one provided in the contract. I’ve gotten someone to estimate that the difference between the same amount of equipment purchased by Lu Firm and the one that they were originally intending to purchase is as high as forty-five million yuan. In other words, this is a batch of inferior products. There are also signal issues in many areas, so let’s not talk too much about this. Judge, you can take a look at the market price for the two types listed in the document.” “At the same time, I found out that the pioneer corporation had paid forty million yuan in installments to several accounts through their private accounts. Coincidentally, many of the accounts they had to pay were private contract accounts found by the prosecutors’ lawyers. The remaining five million yuan were also transferred to the original deputy chief of the Planning Bureau through the same method.” Lu Zishan’s words were clear and unhurried after he was done with his explanation. He then said to the presiding judge, “I have a witness who can testify for me.” The presiding judge looked through the evidence and had a simple discussion with the judge. He then said in a serious tone, “I summon the witness.”
