That day, Zhang Jingye was brought back to the detention center of the Public Security Bureau in Shen Zhen. In the afternoon, Du Wei, Li Hu, and the other three were also brought there. At this point, all the people involved in the case had arrived. After a preliminary investigation, Zheng Xiaomei, Wang Dasheng, Jin Yuying, and other relevant personnel were summoned. The case was basically clear, so the prosecutor filed a lawsuit and transferred it to the court for further trial. After some research, the court concluded that this case involved the collusion between the decadent forces of society and the evil forces to commit crimes together. They ignored the laws of the Republic and acted recklessly. The impact was extremely bad. Not punishing them severely was not enough to appease the public's anger, so they decided to hold a public trial.
On the day of the court session, the audience was filled with people and journalists from all walks of life in Shen Zhen. Zheng Xiaomei and Wang Dasheng were seated at the plaintiffs 'table. Zhang Jingye, Du Wei, Li Hu, Jin Yuying, Song Cheng, and Ding Xian sat in the defendant's seat. Auntie Li carried Xiao Jiye and the driver, Xiao Wang, as they sat in the audience. Zhang Jingye's wife, Victoria Lee, was also sitting in the audience with Auntie Lee and Xiaowang. She felt complicated and anxious. He glanced at Zhang Jingye, Du Wei, Li Hu, Zheng Xiaomei, Wang Dasheng, Jin Yuying, and then lowered his head to look at Xiao Jiye in Auntie Li's arms. His heart was in a mess. She didn't know what the nature of this case was, how to judge it, what would happen to Zhang Jingye, how the Zhang Group would be affected, and what to do in the future.
Finally, the court session began. The presiding judge swung his gavel and announced the start of the court session. The presiding judge, Zheng Dong, first asked Zhang Jingye,"
"Name?"
"Zhang Jingye."
"Position?"
"Chairman and General Manager of the Zhang Group in Guangdong Province.”
"You are the chairman and general manager of a consortium. Why did you bring people to Xiangyang Garden in Shating Town on the outskirts of Shen Zhen City and trick a resident, Zheng Xiaomei, into breaking into her house?”
"I didn't break in and rob anyone. I brought people from the company to the Xiangyang Garden in Shating Town on the outskirts of Shen Zhen just to find Zheng Xiaomei and get my son back.”He pointed at the baby in Auntie Li's arms.
"If you want your son back, why did you use such a method? You forced open the door of the house, entered by force, tied up Zheng Xiaomei and Wang Dasheng's hands and feet, gagged them, and forcefully took the child away?”
"This is also a helpless move. In the beginning, I tried to negotiate with them nicely and promised them generous conditions, but they refused.”
"Were you the one who tied Zheng Xiaomei and Wang Dasheng's hands and feet, gagged them, and forcefully took the children away?”
"No, it's not that. I don't have the strength."
"Then who did it?"
"At that time, I wasn't at the scene. I don't know the exact situation.”
Zhang Jingye used the excuse of not being present to shirk responsibility.
Zheng Dong turned to Wang Dasheng and Zheng Xiaomei and asked,"
"At that time, wasn't Zhang Jingye present?”
"He's at the scene. I heard someone knocking on the door, saying that it was a water meter reader. I opened the door and saw Zhang Jingye, Du Wei, Li Hu, and Song Cheng standing in front of the door. Zhang Jingye was the first to enter the door.”
"Who tied your hands and feet and gagged you?”
"It's Du Wei and Li Hu. They first threw me to the ground, tied my hands and feet with ropes, and stuffed my mouth with a towel. Then, he went into the room and tied up my wife, Zheng Xiaomei, and snatched the child away.”Wang Dasheng said.
"No, those two held me down first, covered my mouth, and took my son away. Du Wei and Li Hu came in and tied me up with a rope and covered my mouth with a towel.”
Zheng Xiaomei pointed at Song Cheng and Ding Xian and added, because she didn't know Song Cheng and Ding Xian, she couldn't name them.
"Is it Song Cheng and Ding Xian?" Zheng Dong pointed at them.
"Yes."
"Was Zhang Jingye present when you were tied up?”
"Before tying us up, Zhang Jingye left the scene. But as soon as he left, Dewey Li Hu started to take action against us.”
"Zhang Jingye just left, and Dewey and Li Hu started to take action against you. Do you think Zhang Jingye doesn't know about their actions?”
"I should know, and I have his permission. Because I heard Dewey say to Zhang Jingye," Zheng Xiaomei won't obediently return your son to you. Time is of the essence. Leave now. Let us take action to get your son back. After that, Zhang Jingye brought Song Cheng outside to discuss for a while. When he came back, he nodded at Du Wei and left the room. After that, Du Wei and Li Hu started to tie us up.”Wang Dasheng said.
Zheng Dong asked Du Wei,"
"Have you ever said such things to Zhang Jingye?”
"I said something similar before.”
"Why did you ask Zhang Jingye to leave?"
"Because he didn't approve of our approach at first.”
"What was Zhang Jingye planning to do initially?”
"Initially, he wanted to persuade Zheng Xiaomei and Wang Dasheng to return their son to him because they were originally employees of his company. He thought that he would be kind to them and could persuade them to return the child. Later, when he saw that he could not convince them, he discussed with Section Chief Song and agreed to our plan.”
"So you're saying that Zhang Jingye agreed to your actions?”
"Yes."
"Why did you and Li Hu enter the house to tie up Wang Dasheng and Zheng Xiaomei?”
"I want Mr. Stanley's son back. They refused to give it to us, so we had to resort to this method.”
"Who is Zhang Jingye to you? Why do you want his son back?”
"Mr. Stanley is our employer. He's willing to pay a high price, so we're willing to get his son back.”
"How much did he promise you?"
"450,000."
"Do you also think that this child is Zhang Jingye's and not Wang Dasheng's?”
"We don't care whose child it is. We'll listen to whoever pays us and work for whoever.”
"Did you get the money?"
"Not yet. There is a rule in our line of work: take money from others and help them eliminate disasters. This matter had not been completed yet, so the money had not been received yet.”
"Do you have a standard for your fees?"
"There are no specific standards, but there is a general direction. It depends on the difficulty of the case and the financial situation of the employer.”
"Why do you want 450,000 yuan for Zhang Jingye's case?”
" The reasons are obvious. Firstly, this case is difficult to solve. Secondly, the employer is the chairman of the Zhang Group, the big boss, and rich.”
"Do you know that what you are doing is seriously illegal?”
Dewey and Li Hu were people who knew the law. Now, in court, in front of the judge, they knew that their actions were illegal. They knew that they could not deny it, so they lowered their heads and said nothing.
Zheng Dong turned to Song Cheng and Ding Xian."
"Are you also private detectives?"
"No, it's not that. We are the security guards of Mr. Stanley's company."
"You're the company's security guards. You should be on duty in the company to protect the company's safety. What are you doing in Shating Town?”
"Chairman Zhang said that Du Wei and Li Hu helped him find his lost son and asked us to help him get his son back.”
"The responsibility of the company's security guards is to protect the company's safety, not the boss's personal bodyguards. How can you do such a thing? How much did Zhang Jingye promise you?”
"We're employees of Mr. Stanley's company. We have a salary. It's our duty to help the boss. How can we ask for extra money? We didn't want it, and Mr. Stanley didn't say that he would give it to us.”
Zheng Dong asked Song Cheng,"
"Why did Zhang Jingye bring you out of the room?”
"He asked me how I should handle this matter according to the law.”
"What did you say?"
"I'm speaking according to the law. I said that you and Zheng Xiaomei gave birth to the child together. Both parents have the right and obligation to raise the child. The key is to see who is more conducive to the healthy growth of the child.”
"What else did he ask?"
"Mr. Stanley also asked how the court would judge this matter. I said that the court could only judge according to the law and the actual situation. It depended on who was more conducive to the child's growth.”
"Anything else?"
"No more."
At this moment, Little Jiye started crying loudly. Auntie Li couldn't coax him, and everyone turned to look at them. The presiding judge gestured for Auntie Li to carry the child out of the court. Zheng Xiaomei couldn't bear it and hurriedly said," Reporting to the presiding judge. The child must be hungry. I am the child's mother. I request to feed the child."”"Agreed," said the presiding judge. Hence, Xiao Mei walked down from the plaintiff's seat and went to the audience's side. She unbuttoned her shirt and picked up Jin Lang to feed him. The child stopped crying when he had milk to eat. She lowered her head to look at her son, and tears could not help but flow down her face. After feeding the child, she wiped her tears and handed the child to Auntie Li before returning to the plaintiff's seat.
After the interlude, Zheng Dong turned to Zhang Jingye and asked,"
"Why did your son fall into Zheng Xiaomei's hands?”
"She and Wang Dasheng conspired to steal it.”
"When and where did you steal it?”
"It was a night three months ago, and the location was my South Mountain Villa on the outskirts of the provincial capital. They took advantage of the fact that Auntie Li, the villa manager, and I were not in the villa on Sunday to saw through the guardrails under the inner and outer walls. They used the keys they had prepared in advance to open the door of the building and the nanny's bedroom and stole my son.”
Zheng Dong turned to Wang Dasheng and Zheng Xiaomei."
"Why did you steal Zhang Jingye's son?”
"The child isn't his. It's mine and Dasheng's. We're bringing our own son back.”
Zhang Jingye immediately stood up and pointed at Zheng Xiaomei."
"She's talking nonsense! I gave birth to this child with her. I lived with her for more than a year. Wang Dasheng was the security guard outside the villa. According to the rules, he was not allowed to enter the inner courtyard. He could not even see Zheng Xiaomei. How could this child be his?”
"You, this old man, can't stand it. How can you have the ability to give birth to a child? I've been with you for half a year, but I still haven't gotten pregnant. I'll say it again: This child is not yours, it's mine and Dasheng's.”Zheng Xiaomei also stood up and pointed at Zhang Jingye, emphasizing that the child was not his.
Zheng Dong knocked the gavel and said,"
"Don't argue about this. It's impossible for a child to have two biological fathers. The court will immediately ask the forensic doctor to do a paternity test.”
Only then did the two of them stop arguing. Zheng Dong then asked Zhang Jingye,"
"What's your relationship with Zheng Xiaomei?”
"An employment relationship."
"Why did you hire her?"
"Borrowing the belly to give birth. Because my wife is sick and can't have children. I don't have children, so I want to have a child to inherit my career. I hired her to sign an agreement. She agreed to give birth to a child for me, and I paid her a million yuan.”As he spoke, he handed the agreement to the court.
Zheng Dong read the agreement and asked Zhang Jingye,"
"Borrowing a woman's belly to give birth is an insult to a woman and a violation of a woman's rights. It's illegal, do you know that?”
"I know a little. However, the Zhang Corporation has assets of more than 100 million yuan. I don't have any children, and the corporation doesn't have an heir. I'm anxious! Someone urgently needs money and is willing to be my surrogate. I paid her one million yuan and both parties reached an agreement.”
"You're breaking the law! If you have money and can find a surrogate, can you do whatever you want?”
Zhang Jingye lowered his head and said nothing.
"Do you have a wife?"
"Yes, she's sick and can't have children.”
"This is not a reason. Even though your wife is infertile, even though you signed this agreement with Zheng Xiaomei, what you did is illegal and a violation of women's rights. You must bear legal responsibility for this.”
Zheng Dong then turned to Zheng Xiaomei.
"Are you married?"
"Yes. He is my husband." She pointed at Wang Dasheng.
"Do you have a good relationship as husband and wife?"
"I've always been good. We were classmates in middle school. We dated for four years before getting married.”
"Then why did you agree to give birth to Zhang Jingye's child?”
" Because my eldest son, Yulang, had leukemia and needed 400,000 yuan for a bone marrow transplant. My family did everything we could, sold all the appliances and furniture, and borrowed from all our relatives and friends. We only managed to raise 100,000 yuan, and we couldn't raise it anymore. In order to save my son's life, I had no choice but to sacrifice myself..."
At this point, Zheng Xiaomei recalled the scene at that time and could not help but cry. She sobbed and said,
"I'm a mother, and my son is my flesh. As a mother, I can't watch my son die like this. I have to save my son even if I have to sacrifice myself! He's more important than me!"
Xiao Mei was in pain and shame, crying non-stop. Zheng Dong gestured for the staff to give her a stack of tissues. He watched as she wiped her tears and continued asking,
"Did your husband agree to what you did?”
"He definitely won't agree. I didn't dare to tell him. I lied to him and said that I was working at a relative's house in Guang City.”
"Is that the case?" Zheng Dong asked Wang Dasheng.”Da Sheng nodded and then lowered his head.
Zheng Dong then asked Zheng Xiaomei,"
"How do you know Zhang Jingye?”
Zheng Xiaomei looked at Jin Yuying but didn't say anything.
Zheng Dong asked Zhang Jingye,"
"How do you know Zheng Xiaomei?”
"Someone introduced me."
"Who is the referee?"
"Jin Yuying, she's the manager of the Zhang Corporation's product store. We're friends.”
"Have you paid the introduction fee?"
"I gave her 100,000 yuan."
Zheng Dong turned to Jin Yuying."
"Did you accept the 100,000 yuan that Zhang Jingye paid you?”
"I accepted it. But it wasn't what I wanted. He gave it to me to thank me for my help.”
Zheng Dong then turned to Wang Dasheng and Zheng Xiaomei.
"How did you steal the child from Zhang Jingye's villa?”
"First, I used a hacksaw to cut through the guardrails under the two walls to enter the inner courtyard. Then, I used the pre-prepared keys to open the door of the building and the bedroom and carried the child out.”
"Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the nanny?”
"I added sleeping pills to the nanny's dinner.”Dasheng said.
"Are you sure you only added sleeping pills and nothing else?”
"I only added a sleeping pill. We just wanted the nanny to sleep a little longer so that we wouldn't be discovered when we opened the door to carry the child. We didn't want to harm her.”
"Why didn't you come in directly from the outer door when you stole the child? Why did you cut the guardrail and come in through the hole in the wall?”
"Because I'm the villa's security guard. The key to the outer door is in my hands. If I don't cut the guardrail and enter through the hole in the wall, I'll be exposed.”Wang Dasheng said.
"How did you open the door to the building and the bedroom?”
"Use the key that was prepared beforehand. Because the keys to the building and bedroom were originally in my hands, I secretly prepared it while I was in the hospital a few days before giving birth. At that time, they were not strict with me, so there was a chance.”Xiao Mei rushed to say it, so that she could put aside Da Sheng's responsibility.
"At that time, did you plan to steal the child after giving birth? Otherwise, why would he have made a copy of the key beforehand?”
"At that time, we didn't want to steal the child. If we wanted to steal the child, we would have run away together when we were pregnant. I just want to take advantage of the fact that Mr. Stanley and Mrs. Lewis are not in the villa on Sunday to ask Dasheng to enter the building and my bedroom.”Zheng Xiaomei said.
"When did you decide to steal the child?”
"After giving birth." Zheng Xiaomei said.
"Why did you decide to steal the child at this time?”
"Because Zhang Jingye was too heartless to me. I was with him for more than a year. I was pregnant for ten months and gave birth to the child. I wanted him to admit that I was the child's mother, but he refused firmly. He said that I was hired by him to give birth to the child. After the child was born and the money was paid, it had nothing to do with me. Even when I asked to stay and be a nanny for the child, he refused firmly. He insisted on hiring someone else to be a nanny. He fired me and sent me home. It hurt my heart! Moreover, my eldest son died of leukemia.”
"Is Zheng Xiaomei telling the truth?" Zheng Dong asked Zhang Jingye.”
Zhang Jingye nodded.
Zheng Dong turned to Wang Dasheng and asked,"
"Isn't the villa's rule that the outer security guards are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard? How did you get in?"
"In the beginning, I strictly followed the rules and never entered the inner court. By chance, I found out that the young woman locked up in the inner courtyard was actually my wife, Zheng Xiaomei, whom I was looking for. At that time, I was both happy, hateful, and embarrassed. Originally, I respected Chairman Zhang very much because he accepted me to work in his company when I was in trouble. Moreover, the work was light and the salary was good. This incident made me change my opinion of him. I began to hate him, despise him, and wait for an opportunity to take revenge on him. I took advantage of the fact that he and Auntie Li weren't in the villa on Sunday to contact Xiao Mei. I asked about the situation and communicated with her. After that, I climbed over the wall to live with her almost every Sunday.”
"So, you think this child is yours.”
"Yes."
Zhang Jingye immediately flew into a rage when he heard that. He stood up and pointed at Wang Dasheng, scolding,"
"Wang Dasheng, you're not human! I trusted you, put you in an important position, and transferred you to the villa to be a security guard out of goodwill. I gave you a high salary and generous treatment, but you didn't think of returning the favor. You actually violated the system and trespassed on private property. Do you still have any conscience?”
"You're not human! Xiao Mei is my wife. It's legal for us to be together. You're a famous entrepreneur and philanthropist, but you actually used the excuse of helping the poor to take advantage of the sufferings of the people to detain and occupy other people's wives for a long time. After a woman gave birth to a child, she actually didn't allow the child to recognize his biological mother as his mother. She even didn't allow the biological mother to request to be a nanny. You're really saying all the good things, but doing all the bad things. Do you think you're human? Do you still have any conscience?" Wang Dasheng retorted, pointing at Zhang Jingye.
