It's generally believed that recording someone without their permission is invalid because it infringes on their right to privacy, but in reality, the scope of privacy rights is not as broad as many people imagine.
In public places, such as cafes, if the person recording also participated in the conversation, the likelihood of the recording being accepted as evidence is very high!
In this case, the place where the recording took place was in a company office, and both Chen Jing and Zheng Limin participated in the conversation, so Lawyer Tang could see that, at least on the prosecution's side, the recording was treated as evidence.
Apart from the recording, an even more fatal piece of evidence is the receipt for fifty thousand yuan that Lan Baosheng brought with him on his third visit!
Lawyer Tang had felt that there was definitely something wrong with this receipt, and now upon reviewing the documents he found that the receipt stated:
Amount: Fifty thousand yuan.
