Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Lawless Madman, True Hero; Rui Mao Bank Finally Can’t Escape

The judge looked at the evidence submitted by Gu Chen.

It was indeed the relevant records made by the police.

Then there is no problem.

With this evidence, it can prove Zhao Yishan’s innocence.

At least he’s not guilty of robbery.

It’s just that breaking the bank counter does indeed require compensation.

The online viewers suddenly understood; so this was the actual course of events!!

[Whoa, got it!]

[So that’s how it is!!]

[Then Zhao Yishan is innocent, he hasn’t committed a crime!]

[Then the problem is with the bank, the bank has a big problem!!]

[The bank is so disgusting! They wouldn’t let someone withdraw their own money, insisted they prove my dad is my dad, my husband is my husband, then when a robbery occurs, they pin the blame on Zhao Yishan? Doesn’t the bank have to take responsibility?]

[They must take responsibility, this bank is truly disgusting!!]

[Zhao Yishan is innocent!]

[Support the acquittal of Zhao Yishan!!]

At this point in the trial…

Zhang Yifan’s face was livid.

Does that mean they can no longer hold Zhao Yishan accountable?

Even if that’s the case, the bank’s reputation must be preserved.

Anyway, the robber has been caught, so as long as we can find a way to protect the bank’s reputation, that’s fine.

After all, whether or not Zhao Yishan goes to jail is not very related to the bank.

Zhang Yifan said, “If that’s truly the case, then we can only say we misunderstood Zhao Yifan. After all, Zhao Yishan’s actions are very easy to misinterpret; there was nothing we could do.”

“But from the beginning to the end, the bank is the victim, Rui Mao Bank is the victim.”

“Rui Mao Bank was robbed… The one suffering the loss is Rui Mao Bank.”

“And our bank has always been trying to address this, we wanted to hold Zhao Yishan accountable because we want to protect our clients’ funds…”

“Client priority has always been our guideline. If the robber is not caught, then how can the customers’ funds be assured?”

“Previously, there was an incident at the bank where someone used fake identification information to withdraw another person’s father’s money, resulting in a loss of hundreds of thousands…”

“Therefore, the bank has been strict regarding cash withdrawals.”

“And all of this is for the better service of clients, to manage their assets responsibly.”

“The person who wouldn’t let Zhao Yishan withdraw money was a temporary employee, and Rui Mao Bank has handled the situation accordingly.”

“Please rest assured, Rui Mao Bank will always safeguard our clients’ assets! Client service always comes first!!”

“So, let’s just conclude this case. Since Zhao Yishan has committed no crime, it was a misunderstanding then, but I still hope that the court can impose harsher penalties on the guilty individuals!”

Zhang Yifan summed it up.

At this point, he had no other options left.

He couldn’t send Zhao Yishan to jail any longer.

As long as the bank’s reputation could be maintained, nothing else mattered.

Gu Chen heard what Zhang Yifan said and sneered.

No problem anymore?

After slandering Zhao Yishan for so long, it’s just over with one sentence?

Just one sentence to extricate himself?

Now… it’s time for him to show his strength!

Gu Chen spoke, “You want to end it like this?”

“Rui Mao Bank slandered our client, causing our client to be detained for such a long time? The bank arbitrarily slandered a good person and set various obstacles to prevent our client from withdrawing money, requiring proof for absurd requests like ’my dad is my dad’ and ’my husband is my husband’!”

Zhang Yifan frowned, “What does the opposing lawyer want to do? We required more proof just to protect the client’s asset security, not to prevent withdrawals, and asking for proof like ’my dad is my dad’ was a decision made by the temporary employee on his own, he did not carefully listen to training, his skill was inadequate, the bank has fired him and held him accountable.”

“No one can question our bank’s attitude towards customer service and the guarantee of clients’ assets!”

“If the defense lawyer questions our bank like this, then you are slandering! Demand you assume legal responsibility!”

Zhang Yifan, without further thought, stood up.

Zhang Yifan began, “Honorable judge, I hereby solemnly declare, Rui Mao Bank has always upheld the principle of client priority, and our management and protection of clients’ assets have always adhered to the highest standards. We have an impeccable record in safeguarding client assets, never once resulting in client asset loss.

However, the inappropriate remarks by the defense lawyer have caused severe damage to our bank’s reputation. Such behavior constitutes defamation. We request that the defense lawyer assume respective legal responsibilities for their defamation, and hope to restore Rui Mao Bank’s business reputation and legal rights through legal procedures.”

In the courtroom, Zhang Yifan and Gu Chen were unyielding to each other!

Zhang Yifan seized the opportunity, directly trying to hold Gu Chen accountable.

This is the Rui Mao Bank’s legal department, even more formidable than many professional lawyers.

Gu Chen: “Your Honor, I protest, as my statement has not yet concluded, the plaintiff’s lawyer intentionally interrupted my in-court statement.”

Judge Wang Zhong: “Protest sustained, warning to the plaintiff’s lawyer, please wait for the defense lawyer’s statement to conclude before you speak.”

Gu Chen said, “Rui Mao Bank says I infringed on their reputation rights? My speech was inappropriate?”

“But what I said are facts!”

“When has Rui Mao Bank ever been responsible for clients’ losses?”

“I have a case right in my hand!”

Xue Qingqing, on the side, took out a file from the court’s records.

Gu Chen said, “These are all the lawsuits Rui Mao Bank has encountered in the past five years!”

“The first lawsuit, five years ago, client Zhang Lihong withdrew money at the bank, she initially withdrew 10,000 yuan, but Zhang Lihong did not check the money and directly put it in her bag. When she reached the bank’s entrance, she decided to count the money, and found it was only 9,800 yuan, missing 200 yuan.”

“Rui Mao Bank wrote a sentence—’No responsibility once out of sight’, they said the cash should be counted on the spot. They also said since Zhang Lihong had already reached the bank’s entrance, who knows where Zhang Lihong might have sneakily hidden the money? Bank staff refused to compensate!”

“Zhao Lihong requested to see the surveillance footage but was refused by the bank, which cited ’No responsibility once out of sight’ and rejected Zhang Lihong’s compensation request.”

Gu Chen continued, “The second lawsuit, three years ago, a robbery occurred at Rui Mao Bank, a client withdrew 300,000 yuan in the bank, and it was all taken by the robber during the incident.”

“After the robber was caught, the money was already spent, and the robber had no assets, unable to pay back.”

“The client sued Rui Mao Bank in court, and Rui Mao Bank claimed ’No responsibility once out of sight’, since it was the robber who took the money, it had nothing to do with the bank, and the bank had no obligation to safeguard the client’s money after the client left, so the client lost the suit and to this day has not received the 300,000 yuan.”

Gu Chen, holding these two cases, said, “I have over a dozen similar lawsuits here, shall I read them all out?”

“Is it necessary?”

Gu Chen spoke with emphasis.

In the courtroom, everyone fell silent.

Gu Chen submitted all the files of these dozen cases.

Gu Chen continued, “Let’s not mention so many lawsuits, let’s talk about this robbery case.”

“In this case, the robber took a total of 1.2 million yuan, with clients losing 500,000 yuan, and Rui Mao Bank losing 700,000 yuan in total.”

“When the robber was apprehended, he only had 400,000 yuan left.”

“Thus, the bank took all 400,000 for itself.”

“Logically speaking, when the bank suffered a loss, the stolen money by the robber should be returned.”

“But Rui Mao Bank kept all 400,000 for itself, without distributing a single penny to the victimized clients.”
