Chapter 10.1 Drag this b!tch straight out of the meridian gate and behead him!

Xu Zhixin covered his face and said in pain, “It’s indeed my fault.” He looked at Bai Duanduan, “Lawyer Bai, there’s no need to struggle anymore. What’s fake can’t be real, this thing can’t be pocketed even if you apply for identification.”

Xu Zhixin himself had already admitted to the forgery, plus the evidence did appear to be fake, so if Bai Duanduan denied it in any way, it would be an act of obstruction of justice. The parties’ attitudes had already reached to this point, and Bai Duanduan, as the agent, could only lay down her arms.

Ji Lin sneered, he glanced provocatively at Bai Duanduan, then smiled, before pulling out a document and handing it over, “I think we can now talk about a settlement plan.”

Bai Duanduan endured the throbbing veins at her temples and flipped through the settlement agreement, “Admit that he was fired for cheating his sick leave, therefore completely forfeit any compensation and immediately handover the employment termination contract?”

This was not a settlement agreement, this was the complete and utter victory of Jin Guang Electronics.

But now even if Xu Zhixin’s tibia fracture was fake and his sick leave were fake, as his lawyer, she still had to fight for his interests until the last moment, “We request that the employment termination procedure be done as voluntary resignation process, and do not accept the admission of being fired for fraudulent sick leave.”

After consulting Xu Zhixin, she negotiated again,”We give up all the compensation and will no longer go through the tactics just used to delay the trial. The only requirement is termination to be treated as voluntary resignation. Meet this and we can immediately ask the judge to produce a mediation letter and there will be no further involvement.”

The compensation was gone, so at least make the reason for leaving look good and not affect the next job opportunity. The initiative to leave and be fired are two different things.

After Bai Duanduan finished speaking, Ji Lin chuckled, “Impossible.”

The matter has come to this point, Bai Duanduan has also completely figured it out, “There is no settlement at all, it was a trap from the beginning. You never contacted the presiding judge about mediation at all, right? You never contacted the trial judge about mediation, did you? You never made an appointment with the mediation room, and the people in the mediation room didn’t postpone the last mediation, they made an appointment for this time?”

Xu Zhixin was told on the phone that they wanted to talk about reconciliation, which greatly paralyzed Xu Zhixin’s psychological defense line. He was ashamed of cheating on sick leave. When he heard that the company was willing to reconcile, he was naturally willing. After that, he not only failed to reconcile, but was also exposed to the evidence of his sick leave fraud. He was forced into a desperate situation step by step. He had no psychological preparation at all, and the psychological gap was too large. It was easier to collapse against Ji Lin’s series of gun fire and he gave up the last struggle in this case directly.

Although Xu Zhixin’s sick leave slip was problematic, if Xu Zhixin had been able to hold on to it, even if it was very weak, Bai Duanduan still might not have had a chance to win. Settlement negotiations are very often a tug-of-war and psychological warfare, and in the fleeting expressions of Chen Minghua and Yan Xin just now, Bai Duanduan knew that she was looking for the right chance.

Even if this was false evidence, as long as the client insists that it was true and refuses to recognize Ji Lin’s evidence and applies for identification of their evidence then the authenticity of this evidence would be in doubt. Till the identification results came out, this was not considered false evidence. As soon as she had strived to convince the enterprise to mediate during this period, she could have turned the defeat into victory.

It was a pity that Ji Lin’s series of unorthodox plays had completely defeated Xu Zhixin, who had given up the struggle completely.

The details were pieced together into a complete picture in Bai Duanduan’s mind just then. She looked at Ji Lin. As soon as she thought of losing just like that, Bai duanduanduan said angrily,” So you just deliberately spilled coffee on Xu Zhixin and then gave him your clothes, and in fact, after investigating clearly that he was afraid of dogs, you had packed dog food in your clothes pockets. Ji Lin, you are really sinister!”

In the face of Bai Duanduan’s accusations, Ji Lin was completely unperturbed, he only raised his eyes, ” Although your name doesn’t sound too smart, but you are a little bit better than I thought you were, not to the point of being irredeemable.”

For the sake of the occasion, Bai Duanduan could only maintain the composure of a working person, but her heart was already completely torn apart and roaring…..

Somebody! Quickly give this b!tch a severe beating of thirty strokes! Beat his ass so hard that his skin splits open!

But in reality, the b!tch Ji Lin was still standing calmly in front of Bai Duanduan and said lightly, “Sinister? It’s just a way of collecting evidence. You’re really naive.”

The tactics were ruthless, but yes, recording evidence even without the consent of the person concerned was considered legal because since 2002, the Supreme Court has issued regulations to expand the scope of legally recorded evidence. As long as it was not obtained by coercion, detaining others, or directly installing wiretaps and other illegal methods. Even if it was secretly recorded during the conversation, it was still legal and valid evidence.

Bai Duanduan resisted the urge to jump up and beat him to death, “Is there no room for reconciliation?”

Ji Lin raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Duanduan, “For this case, I researched over forty forensic medicine papers on human shins and height. After investigating and learning that Xu Zhixin’s father had pancreatic cancer, I had my assistant visit all the pancreatic cancer specialists at all the city’s cancer hospitals. It was only through various communications that I was able to convince the owners of several nearby convenience stores to let us cross-check the surveillance near the three key cancer hospitals. The three lawyers in the firm watched a total of 467 hours of surveillance; they also starved another partner’s dog for a day.”

He looked straight at Bai Duanduan and said, “After all the effort I’ve put into this, do you think your client can get away easily and painlessly without any punishment after cheating the firm out of sick leave. Wasting the firm’s time, legal fees, and causing so much trouble for the personnel director and  legal director?”

Xu Zhixin looked pale,” Lawyer Ji, I do not want compensation. I do not want anything. Please, I admit my mistake, I committed the fraud, but do not send me a letter of dismissal. I will cooperate with everything……”

“Don’t say that not taking compensation is your own concession.” Ji Lin was not moved at all. “You cheated sick leave and seriously violated discipline. Your dismissal by Jin Guang Electronics is completely legal. It’s your fault. You didn’t give up the compensation on your own initiative, but you shouldn’t have asked for one in the first place. In the face of your great malice, the enterprise does nothing and gives you a nice and peaceful resignation? “

Ji Lin’s words provoked Yan Xin’s anger and frustration that she has been carrying for this reason. Her face also showed an expression of righteous indignation,” It’s like this, Xu Zhixin’s behaviour is too bad, after he cheated sick leave in such a malicious way and also tried to take the advantage of legal loophole to cheat us out of our compensation, there is no longer any possibility of a good association between us!”

Chen Minghua’s attitude became even stronger “If Xu Zhixin does not agree to this approach today, then we will go through the court process to the end.” Ji Lin’s professional ability was in front of him, Chen Minghua trusted him, so he also fought a psychological war with Xu Zhixin, “We do need to spend time and money costs, but Xu Zhixin also has to waste money and time. You want to spend time with us, then spend it to the end. Not to mention the current chain of evidence, even if we spend until the end, ultimately, we will win the case.”

“That is the attitude of our company, it definitely won’t change. Let’s leave the rest to Lawyer Ji.”

After Yan Xin and Chen Minghua finished speaking, they also stopped looking at Xu Zhixin and turned around to walk away. At this point, it was no longer necessary for them to follow up, just leave it to Ji Lin directly.

Xu Zhixin did not expect such a development at all, his emotions completely collapsed. He did not say a word and knelt down in front of Ji Lin on the spot.

“Lawyer Ji, please, please, can you talk to the company and ask the company not to give me a dismissal form for cheating sick leave.” A big man of one hundred and eighty meters or so, just hunched over, humbly kneeling in front of Ji Lin, his whole face was covered in tears.

Xu Zhixin looked at Bai Duanduan,”Lawyer Bai, I didn’t mean to lie about my sick leave, the previous allergies, gastroenteritis, and cold, just like I told you before, it’s all true. My dad was sick and I was so stressed out that I kept getting sick along with it. The only sick leave I cheated on was a broken tibia.”

He kept shedding tears, “I really had no choice, my dad had pancreatic cancer. There are no other relatives in the family at home. No one to take care of him. He didn’t have much time left, I wasn’t able to make a good life for him, I just wanted to make his last days more comfortable. Just at this time, a cousin from my hometown broke his leg and happened to want to come to A City to see a doctor. He looks like me, only shorter in height than me. He was a farmer without a health insurance card, and was worried about seeing a doctor. I… I got carried away and thought that if I let him use my health insurance card to register for a doctor’s appointment and issue a sick leave slip, and if I pretended to break my leg, I would be able to take a few months extra leave ……”

So the x-rays were real and even issued in the name of Xu Zhixin, only the person who was actually photographed was not him.
