Is Chapter 251 enough?
"Su Qing's lawyer is Xiao Zhang from Dacheng Law Offices. He used to be an intern I trained. I can recite his tactics for handling these custody cases with my eyes closed."
Wang Zhengming picked up the paper cup in front of him, took a sip of warm water, and moistened his throat.
"In custody battles, what do judges value most? It's which parent can provide a more stable and higher-quality environment for the child's growth."
Wang Zhengming drew two lines on his notebook with his pen. "Xiao Zhang is the kind of person who likes to go to extremes. He will definitely exaggerate the background of Su's Group's upcoming listing in the United States and put pressure on the judge in court."
"And then?" Lin Fan leaned back in his chair and asked calmly.
"Then, he'll belittle you to the dust." Wang Zhengming pushed up his black-rimmed glasses. "He'll tell the court that you just got divorced and left with nothing."
"Now that you run a street-side restaurant, you work from dawn till dusk every day, covered in grease and grime. He will emphasize that your income is unstable and you are at risk of going bankrupt at any time. He will also emphasize that your working environment is noisy and chaotic, posing a serious safety hazard to the psychological and physiological development of a five-year-old girl."
Qin Lang, listening nearby, frowned and said, "Isn't that pure nonsense? Brother Lin's shop is cleaner than a five-star hotel. What kind of roadside stall looks like this?"
"Young Master Qin, the court doesn't care what you say; the court only looks at the evidence in black and white."
Wang Zhengming turned to Qin Lang and said, "If Su Qing submits proof of assets worth hundreds of millions of yuan for the Su Group, and we cannot provide any substantial economic evidence to refute this, the judge's scales will instinctively tip in favor of the judge."
Wang Zhengming looked at Lin Fan again, his expression becoming very serious.
"Mr. Lin, your business on Golden Street is indeed doing well; I've seen that with my own eyes. But as your lawyer, I need to know your current, most accurate asset situation."
"If your accounts don't show enough cash flow, or if there are tax irregularities, we'll be in a very passive position in this lawsuit. You could even say we have no chance of winning."
The hall fell silent.
Lin Fan didn't say anything. He stood up and walked to the cashier.
He didn't go to get the property certificate that Lao Liu had left behind, because it was mortgaged there by Lao Liu. Although the transfer procedures were being processed, he didn't intend to flaunt it as his own asset.
He picked up his phone from the cashier's counter, opened the bank's merchant app, and then opened the tax bureau's electronic filing software.
Lin Fan walked back and pushed the phone directly to Wang Zhengming's side.
"I rented the shop." Lin Fan sat back down in his chair. "These are the detailed records of every transaction since the shop opened, as well as the original tax payment slips for each month."
Wang Zhengming glanced down at the screen.
At first, his expression remained relatively calm. But when he saw the numbers and transaction frequency, his fingers, which were scrolling through the screen, paused slightly.
The average daily net inflow shown above has remained stable at over 100,000.
Recently, the number has remained stable at several hundred thousand or more.
That's not the most crucial point. The most crucial point is that the tax software shows that every single transaction, regardless of the amount, has been meticulously processed through the tax system, with clean tax bills and no record of tax evasion.
Wang Zhengming raised his head and gave Lin Fan a deep look.
As the vice president of the Jiangcheng Lawyers Association, he has examined the accounts of too many large companies.
Many business owners who appear to be worth hundreds of millions actually have a lot of debt and bad debts when their accounts are opened. If they really wanted to get cash, they couldn't even raise a few million.
The man in front of me runs a 300-square-meter restaurant, earning real money every day, and his accounts are even more meticulous than those of a listed company.
"Is this enough?" Lin Fan asked.
Wang Zhengming closed his notebook, a hint of a smile in his eyes.
"That's enough. You could even say it's more than enough."
Wang Zhengming pushed the phone back to Lin Fan.
"If Su Qing wants to use her financial power to pressure you in court, then Xiao Zhang has really met her match this time."
"Xiao Zhang probably thought you were a roadside stall owner who was about to close down. That was their biggest misjudgment."
"What do you need me to do next?" Lin Fan put away his phone.
"You don't need to do anything. Just open the shop as usual and live your life as usual. Wait for the court summons."
Wang Zhengming stood up and put several copies of tax documents into his briefcase.
"I will submit these bank statements and tax bills to the court as evidence. On the day of the trial, I will render all their prepared statements worthless."
……
at the same time.
Dacheng Law Firm, located in the core area of Jiangcheng CBD.
As one of the top-tier law firms in Jiangcheng, boasting the highest fees and a success rate among the top three, Dacheng's office environment exudes a cold, professional aura. The entire two-story upscale office building is brightly lit.
Attorney Zhang sat in his spacious private office, flipping through a thick file in his hand.
The office door was pushed open, and Su Qing walked in, wearing high heels.
"Mr. Su." Attorney Zhang immediately stood up and walked quickly to the sofa area. "Why did you come in person? Is there any information that needs to be confirmed? I can have my assistant send it to the Su Group."
"I just stopped by to check on the preparations for the court hearing." Su Qing put her Hermes bag on the sofa and sat down.
In the past few days, all the procedures for the Su Group's listing in the United States have been fully rolled out, and the injection of 500 million yuan in bridge financing has completely relieved her of her worries. Now, her only remaining concern is the custody of Tuantuan.
Attorney Zhang walked to his desk, took the case file, and handed it to Su Qing with both hands.
"Mr. Su, this is the final trial plan that our team worked on overnight. Please take a look."
Attorney Zhang pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, his tone radiating absolute confidence.
"In custody battles, judges have only one core criterion: 'who can provide a more favorable environment for the minor's growth.'"
Attorney Zhang sat down opposite Su Qing, their fingers interlaced.
"Based on this standard, we have tailored a 'dimensional reduction attack' strategy for you."
Su Qing opened the file and glanced at it: "How exactly should it be done?"
"The first step is asset overwhelming," Attorney Zhang clearly explained in his report.
"In the list of evidence we submitted to the court, we highlighted your current position as president of the Su Group and the background of the group's upcoming listing on Nasdaq. We will prove to the judge that you not only possess substantial personal assets, but also have access to top-tier social resources."
Attorney Zhang gave a cold laugh and moved on to the next key point.
"The second step is to completely deny the defendant Lin Fan's eligibility to provide custody."
No sooner had he finished speaking than there was a knock on the office door.
Before Attorney Zhang could speak, Old Sun and Old Zhao, carrying briefcases, pushed open the door and walked in.
Neither of them looked well.
