Chapter 749 Found guilty
In the spacious, bright yet somewhat serious office of the resort's law enforcement department, three lawyers in formal attire were busy and focused.
The desks in front of them were piled with all kinds of documents and materials. Everyone had a solemn and serious look on their faces, and their eyes revealed professionalism and concentration.
Sometimes they carefully reviewed the relevant laws and regulations, and sometimes they wrote furiously, meticulously organizing the litigation documents and defense statements prepared for Teng Zijing.
That focused and dedicated look demonstrates the professional attitude and noble ethics unique to the profession of lawyer.
At the same time, Teng Zijing and Deng Zhouyi drove a luxury car with smooth lines and luxurious design, driving smoothly along the winding country road.
The luxury car gleamed brightly in the sun, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding rustic countryside.
Finally, the car stopped steadily in front of the door of a quiet farmyard.
In the small courtyard, Daniel was alone, immersed in his own world of entertainment, planting flowers and plants with full concentration.
He was wearing a loose gardening overalls, a wide-brimmed straw hat, and holding a small shovel in his hand.
He was carefully planting a gorgeous white rose into the carefully prepared soil.
There are all kinds of potted flowers placed around, colorful and gorgeous, emitting bursts of fresh fragrance. It is not difficult to see the effort Daniel has put into these flowers and plants.
He was completely immersed in the peaceful pleasure of gardening and was completely unaware of the arrival of Teng Zijing and Deng Zhouyi.
Teng Zijing gently pushed open the car door and walked into the courtyard with steady steps. His deep and magnetic voice echoed in the courtyard, with a perfect greeting:
"Mr. Daniel, I didn't expect you to have such a wide range of interests! Look at these carefully cultivated flowers, each one is full of vitality. It's not hard to see the good intentions you put into them!"
Daniel heard the sound and slowly compacted the soil around the white rose with a small shovel, then stood up as if nothing had happened.
He smiled warmly, took off his straw hat, and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand. He said with a smile: "Master Jing, you are such a rare guest! I am very happy that you can come to my home as a guest."
Teng Zijing narrowed his eyes slightly, with a look of scrutiny in his eyes, and said meaningfully:
"Really? I'm honored that you didn't team up with Robert to deal with me in this incident."
"Oh no no no, Master Jing, please don't misunderstand me." Daniel quickly waved his hands, with an innocent look on his face, and explained,
"This is all a complete conspiracy orchestrated by Robert, uh...it really has nothing to do with me.
You know me best, and you know exactly what kind of person I am.
I like to guard my own little garden, play with the flowers and plants every day, eat, drink, and have fun.
This is my little world, my circle, hmm! I have never been interested in those intrigues and struggles for power and profit.
Teng Zijing nodded slightly, his eyes still fixed on Daniel, and said, "I understand your thoughts.
However, I need your testimony for this incident. Tell me exactly what you know about Robert.
Daniel said "No problem" as he put down the small shovel in his hand and turned to walk towards the faucet in the corner of the yard.
He turned on the faucet, put his muddy hands under the water, and washed them carefully, while responding with a smile: "I am honored to clarify the facts for you, Mr. Jing.
You know, that guy Robert has always looked down on me and always laughed at me for being a fool.
But I didn't want to argue with him. I felt that doing my best was the most important thing. Take the share they gave me this time, for example. It was less than one-tenth.
You say, just for this little profit, why should I protect these stupid and greedy guys?
So, as long as I know something, I will tell it without reservation."
In Daniel's idyllic farm garden, Teng Zijing and Deng Zhouyi had a pleasant conversation with Daniel.
Daniel spoke sincerely and solemnly promised that he would fully support Teng Zijing, provide him with key testimony, and help him resolve this difficult incident.
After receiving Daniel's firm support, Teng Zijing and Deng Zhouyi were in high spirits. They slowly left this charming little garden with relaxed smiles.
The two walked briskly towards a stylish cafe, because they knew that this was the fixed time for Jack to enjoy afternoon tea every day.
The two drove the car skillfully, moving steadily along the street, and arrived at the entrance of the coffee shop with ease.
Deng Zhouyi precisely controlled the steering wheel and slowly parked the car in the parking space at the door.
After stopping, they looked inside through the bright glass windows and saw the figure that once seemed so familiar to them.
Jack, as always, maintained his old habits. On the table in front of him, there was a pot of fragrant milk coffee, steam rising from the spout of the coffee pot, exuding an alluring aroma.
Next to it is a colorful plate of fruits and vegetables. The fresh fruits and vegetables are neatly arranged, like a carefully crafted work of art.
A refreshing salad with a perfect blend of vegetables and dressing, exuding a fresh flavor.
There is also an exquisite cream cake dessert. The cream on the surface of the cake is delicate and silky, and the several bright fruits inlaid on it add a bit of attractive color to it.
Teng Zijing and Deng Zhouyi walked into the coffee shop with steady steps and approached Jack quietly.
At this moment, Jack was half-closed his eyes in satisfaction, leisurely picked up the fork, gently cut off a small piece of cream cake, and slowly put it into his mouth.
An expression of immense enjoyment instantly appeared on his face, as if this bite of sweetness was the only thing left in the whole world.
The intoxicated look makes people feel as if they can feel the deliciousness of the cake and immerse themselves in it involuntarily.
However, when Jack slowly opened his eyes and his sight fell on Teng Zijing in front of him, his expression froze instantly and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
The fork in his hand seemed to be out of control and fell onto the plate with a "click", making a crisp and pleasant sound but also seemed particularly abrupt at this moment.
He subconsciously turned around and kicked his feet, trying to escape from this terrifying scene.
But he was still a step too slow. Deng Zhouyi was quick-witted and quick-handed. He took a step forward and used his powerful hands like iron clamps to firmly press Jack into the chair.
Deng Zhouyi had a playful smile on his face and jokingly said, "Such a pleasant life is interrupted halfway, which is really a bit disappointing!
Please continue to enjoy your meal. We came here just to chat with you, nothing else matters."
Jack was pressed into the chair, his body trembling slightly, his face full of fear.
He stammered, "Master Jing, please... please don't embarrass me! I'm just a dog that Robert uses.
In this matter, the one who really controls everything is Robert himself.
In his eyes, I'm just a clown jumping around, with no say in the matter!"
Teng Zijing frowned slightly, a hint of majesty in his eyes. He slowly stood up, looked down at Jack, and said calmly:
"The trial will begin in two days. I hope you will not forget to testify in court on time. Today's afternoon tea looks very good. Please enjoy it slowly."
After saying that, he patted Jack's shoulder gently, then turned around with Deng Zhouyi and strode out of the cafe.
Jack watched the two people leaving, and the fear in his heart was still hard to dispel.
He reached out his hand tremblingly, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and slowly wiped the sweat of fear that continued to appear on his cheeks.
The handkerchief trembled slightly in his hand, as if telling of his inner anxiety and panic at the moment.
Time flies like a white horse, and it is gone in a flash. Amidst everyone's anticipation, the much-anticipated trial day has finally arrived.
That solemn and dignified courtroom seemed to be the place where the scales of justice were located, and the air was filled with a heavy and solemn atmosphere.
On the high judgement platform, three judges sat upright. They were dressed in black robes that symbolize justice. Their faces were solemn, and their eyes revealed professionalism and rigor.
Under the gaze of the entire audience, the presiding judge solemnly and slowly raised the gavel.
With a crisp and loud knock, this trial concerning the dignity of the law and fair judgment officially began.
In this trial, Robert was accused of multiple serious illegal and criminal acts. First, he was suspected of accepting bribes.
Through improper means, benefits are transferred to staff of relevant government agencies in exchange for the protection of power and policy bias.
This behavior has seriously undermined the integrity and credibility of government agencies and violated the Canadian Anti-Corruption and Bribery Act.
The relevant provisions prohibit public officials from accepting improper benefits and prohibit bribers from influencing public officials' decisions by transferring benefits.
Secondly, Robert was also involved in bribing relevant government agencies, maliciously manipulating resource transactions, and disrupting the normal market economic order.
This behavior violates the Canadian Competition Act and the Resource Management and Exchange Act, and it obtains control of resource transactions through illegal means.
Excluding competitors and achieving unfair business monopoly has caused great damage to the healthy development of the industry and the fair competition environment.
What is particularly serious is that he committed a series of deceptive acts in the process of attracting investment.
He fabricated the true situation of the project to investors, exaggerated the expected returns of the project, concealed potential risks, and induced many investors including Teng Zijing to invest huge amounts of money.
This behavior constitutes a typical commercial fraud and seriously infringes upon the legitimate rights and interests of investors.
According to the Canada Business Corporations Act and relevant civil laws regarding the principles of good faith and anti-fraud in business activities, Robert must bear corresponding legal responsibility for his actions.
If convicted, according to the sentencing standards and punishment measures of the Canadian legal system,
In addition to returning the victims' investment amount in full to compensate for their economic losses, Robert will also face a heavy fine.
The amount of the fine will be determined comprehensively based on the illegal income and the degree of damage caused to the social and economic order.
The purpose is to impose severe economic sanctions on their illegal acts and deprive them of the improper benefits obtained through illegal means.
At the same time, due to the serious nature and far-reaching impact of his series of criminal acts, he will also face corresponding terms of imprisonment and punishment.
This demonstrates the majesty and fairness of the law and maintains social fairness, justice and normal order.
