Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Didn't you see the evidence?

Did you come to the court hearing without reviewing the evidence?

You dare to debate without even looking at the public evidence? You didn't even bother to ask the client about the specifics!

Presiding Judge Wang Cheng was shocked.

He was utterly shocked.

I initially thought the opposing side's confident demeanor at the court hearing stemmed from their perceived strength to overturn all claims and their established position on the case. But...

Now...

So this isn't confidence, it's pure arrogance and ignorance!

"Bear the burden of proof? What burden of proof?"

Sun Li sensed something was wrong and subconsciously asked a question, glancing around.

Unexpectedly, the two lawyers in the plaintiff's seat were watching her with great interest, their expressions making him uneasy.

"It's the plaintiff's responsibility to provide evidence!"

At the trial.

People's assessor Xu Jia couldn't help but speak up and offer a reminder.

Theoretically speaking.

This type of inquiry falls under the category of pre-trial verification, which means that when asking the other party whether they are prepared, the other party conducts the verification themselves.

Instead of the judge chasing after the other party like they're cleaning up their mess!

But with this case... they simply couldn't hold back any longer.

Why is the other party acting like they know nothing, spouting nonsense and even daring to turn the tables on me!

To know.

If this evidence were presented in a criminal trial from a defense standpoint, even the prosecutor wouldn't dare to question it.

But the other side just dared to do it!

"I."

Sun Li's gaze shifted back and forth between the judge's seat and the plaintiff's seat. Suddenly, for some reason, a growing sense of panic intensified within her, and her breathing became heavier. Why did the case seem... to be taking a different turn than she had anticipated?

a long time.

Sun Li then steeled herself and stammered as she spoke:

"presiding judge....."

"I request that the evidence presented by the plaintiff be retrieved!"

I haven't seen it...

It's confirmed; the other party really didn't look at the evidence!

Besides, the trial has already started, who's going to get the evidence for you?!

Judge Wang Cheng was horrified and deeply shocked; it was the first time he had ever seen such a person.

In theory, evidence is the basis for a court trial and determines the likelihood of winning the case.

The trial proceedings always revolve around erasing the opposing side's evidence and strengthening our own, even if it goes all the way to the Supreme Court.

and so.

Besides investigating the evidence, before the trial, you also need to obtain the opposing party's evidence, analyze the angles of attack, know how the opposing party will attack, and conduct your own cross-examination to see if there are any other possibilities.

This includes Xu De's first two cases.

If you think about it carefully, you'll find that... all the words revolved around the word "evidence"!

But right now...

A ruthless character arrived who didn't even look at the opposing party's evidence during the court hearing!

"No need to retrieve it!"

"Defendant, this is the detailed case file we obtained from the police before the trial, concerning the criminal case of 'Jiaru Hotel Case' on the night of January 8th!"

Plaintiff's seat.

Xu De suddenly spoke, a smile appearing on his face, his eyes making Sun Li feel uneasy.

as well as......

Criminal case?

How could a hotel like Home Inn be involved in a criminal case?!

Isn't this just like reporting human trafficking to the police, only to find out that someone went to the hospital to catch adulterers?

Even in such farcical incidents, if we focus on the psychological issues of the individuals involved...

This will also make Wang Yu pay an extra sum!

Now, why is the other party claiming this is a criminal case? Even the judge isn't objecting!

"call..."

Sun Li's breathing suddenly became a little heavier.

She clenched her fists and subconsciously looked at Yang Chunping beside her. A hint of panic flashed across Yang Chunping's face, but she still tried to remain calm.

next second.

Xu De then spoke:

"Defendant's seat, just now, your side had four points."

"First, everything that happened at the Jiaru Hotel is not evidence of the defendant 'Yang Chunping' having an affair; the two were engaging in artistic creation." "Second, you say that the plaintiff subjected the defendant to emotional abuse."

"Third, the plaintiff's false alarm caused severe psychological damage to the defendant, Yang Chunping, who requires compensation." "Fourth, and beyond..."

As he spoke, Xu De looked at the other person and narrowed his eyes.

"The psychological and health problems of the child star Xiaoyu!"

"Coincidentally, the information we obtained from the police was able to answer all these questions."

The words were spoken.

He did not hesitate at all.

He reached out slightly, and Lin Yue immediately understood, handing him the evidence she had prepared in advance from her briefcase.

"First, defendant, let us hear the reasons why the police have classified this case."

Xu De began to speak.

The classification of a case requires justification, and the Midori City Police Department...

Xu De paused, then looked down at the document in his hand and slowly began to speak:

"On January 8th, at 1 PM, the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Lusen City, in cooperation with the local police station, conducted a surprise inspection of the Jiaru Hotel."

"During the incident, two young men were caught engaging in illicit sexual activity at the scene and were stopped by the police."

"In this operation, a 4-year-old boy named Wang Xiaoyu was rescued."

Generally speaking, case files are written after the case is finalized.

After the case was closed and the farce ended, the word "rescue" could still be used to describe the situation, so there's plenty of room for speculation about the inside story.

However, Xu De was very considerate and didn't need anyone to guess, so he continued:

"According to police testing, the rescued person, Wang Xiaoyu..."

"Doctors detected excessive levels of medication in his body, which caused him to fall into a coma!"

"It is speculated that the victim, Wang Xiaoyu, was forced to ingest an adult dose of sleeping pills. The strong drug caused neurotransmitter imbalances in her body and disrupted the brain's sleep-inducing neurotransmitters!"

"At the same time, brain cell hypoxia and necrosis lead to a permanent, slight decline in cognitive function!"

"According to the investigation, it was ultimately determined that the victim, Wang Xiaoyu, had been repeatedly forced to take excessive amounts of sleeping pills, causing irreversible damage to her body and requiring long-term recuperation..."

The consequences of exceeding the legal limit for sleeping pills are very serious.

This stuff has been used as a suicide drug by others. They take too much at once, and although they die a painful death, they do so quietly.

Generally speaking, eating a little bit is fine and can even help you sleep.

But children are different!

Their bodies are still immature, and their organs and brains are not yet fully developed. Under the intense stimulation of drugs, it's practically murder!

Wang Xiaoyu's body has suffered irreversible damage, including cognitive decline and memory loss...

Although it may not have any obvious impact on daily life, a problem arises.

Daily life doesn't actually require much mental effort.

Even those with mild intellectual disabilities can live independently, and ordinary people often can't tell if they have an intellectual disability; they appear completely normal. But can you deny that they have mild intellectual disabilities?

No.

and so.

Wang Xiaoyu's physical damage from the drugs is also very real!

this.

dock.

Sun Li's face suddenly turned pale with shock, her eyes filled with intense astonishment.

She turned around in disbelief, glanced at Yang Chunping, then turned to look at Xu De, her mind already churning with turmoil.

Sleeping pills?

The child was given an adult dose of sleeping pills?

It may have even caused irreversible and permanent damage to the body!?

this.

How is that possible?!

Before this, no one had mentioned it, not even Yang Chunping. How did it suddenly end up in court, and even get involved in the investigation?

"Defendant, do you have any objections to this part provided by the police?"

Xu De stopped speaking and stared intently at Sun Li.

"No...that's not right..."

Sun Li spoke instinctively, her tone already somewhat flustered.

When did the other party present their evidence? I clearly went to the court beforehand, and there was absolutely no information about this...

"What's wrong?"

Xu De pressed further, "Defendant, are you questioning the impartiality of the Public Security Bureau?!"

The moment he opened his mouth, he was slapping a label on someone.

On Sun Li's round face, beads of sweat gradually appeared on her forehead, and her breathing became slightly more rapid.

Police... this evidence was obtained from the police!?

It's important to understand that in criminal cases, the prosecutor and Xu De only debated the applicability of the evidence; they never questioned the evidence itself. What right does Sun Li have to question this stuff?!

"I...I'm not..."

Sun Li was struggling to make ends meet. She looked at Yang Chunping again, her voice low and anxious, and said:

"What exactly is going on here?"

"Are you hiding something from me?!"

Yang Chunping's eyes darted around, and she said in a flustered voice, "I...I don't know."

She felt a little guilty and still didn't dare to admit it.

"Are you really unaware or just pretending?!" Sun Li thought angrily.

She and the other person are the same kind of people.

Sun Li naturally understood Yang Chunping's reaction and was completely certain that the other party knew the inside story!

"I...I don't know."

Yang Chunping gritted her teeth and stubbornly refused to admit it again.

She genuinely didn't know, but... that didn't mean she hadn't guessed.

When bathing the child, how could she not see the bruises? The child cries and then falls asleep every time, how could she not suspect anything? It's nothing but self-deception, coupled with a lack of concern for the child!

"You!" Sun Li felt a bruise on her chest.

But the case is still ongoing, and she has no time to pursue accountability.

She had no choice but to steel herself, look up at the judge, and rack her brains to speak:

"Your Honor, perhaps... perhaps the child's sleeping pills were not given to him by our client or the third party Guo Tu, but were due to accidental ingestion..." Before the judge could speak...

Xu De then spoke again:

"Heh."

"Defendant, I haven't said yet, but the child was given sleeping pills at home, like in a hotel."

Xu De sneered.

Sun Li paused, then was startled, and cursed inwardly.

Her words dug a hole for herself, directly implying that even the defendant knew the child was inextricably linked to Guo Tu. And Guo Tu... in turn had an inseparable connection with Yang Chunping!

"What I mean is..." Sun Li tried to salvage the situation.

"It's likely that the child accidentally ingested it; it wasn't done by a stranger."

"This is irrelevant to this case; the test report can only show..."

It is entirely possible that the child accidentally ingested the pure medication.

Some pills are coated with sugar, and some children with a sweet tooth might mistake them for candy and put them in their mouths to eat.

Every year, countless people are hospitalized because of this.

The same applies to sleeping pills, and even more so!

One type of sleeping pill is "melatonin". In what form will melatonin be present in 2026?

Gummy candy!

There is a delicious gummy candy called Want Want QQ Gummy Candy, which most people have probably tried.

The sleeping pill melatonin looks similar to this gummy candy, and even tastes and feels better.

If there is no packaging.

Some illiterate adults would chew it up in large bites, eating it as a snack.

Not to mention children who lack full autonomy, accidental ingestion is a common occurrence.

Let alone delicious sleeping pills.

Magnets, iron balls, batteries, plastics—the number of cases of accidental ingestion of these completely inedible items is enormous.

So, Sun Li's quick-thinking approach was actually quite good, but that's about it.

"We believe this matter has little to do with the client; it should be..."

Sun Li wanted to speak again.

pity.

Xu De's greatest skill was interrupting others.

"The above!"

The two words were spoken with such loudness that even passersby outside the door were startled.

During the court hearing, Sun Li subconsciously shut up and looked at Xu De.

"The above refers to the physical and drug tests conducted by the police on the victims rescued during the arrest."

"And besides drug testing..."

"The victim, Wang Xiaoyu, had seven visible bruises on her body!"

"Even the groin and other areas have tiny holes."

"The evidence is conclusive and has been confirmed by the police. May I ask... Defendant, did you discover this matter on several previous occasions when you bathed the child?" Xu De's expression gradually turned serious, and his tone became low.

He pulled out the photo, held it up, and looked around.

The photo clearly shows Wang Xiaoyu's appearance, with bruises on her arms, elbows, and abdomen that are impossible to conceal. If it were summer instead of winter, and she were dressed lightly, her neighbors would probably call the police immediately!

This is visible to the naked eye...

"Defendant, were you aware of this?!"

"Regarding your third point, the plaintiff Wang Yu's response that simply working overtime constitutes a lack of care for his family, leading to emotional emptiness and even justifying infidelity..."

"I have a question."

"The obvious external trauma suffered by the victim, Wang Xiaoyu...does this fall under what you claim to be 'love for her family'?" "Can you prove that the defendant, Yang Chunping, cared for Wang Xiaoyu so much that she didn't utter a sound?"

Xu De is like a manufacturer that produces knives.

Every word she uttered was like a knife, precisely stabbing into the other person, causing Sun Li great distress.

They even accidentally injured friendly forces.

Looking at those photos, Wang Yu instantly lost control, his eyes reddening and his fists clenching tightly.

No parent could tolerate this situation!

"I."

"I...."

Sun Li racked her brains, muttering to herself, but couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal for a long time.

At this moment, she hated Yang Chunping to death.

I just wanted her to get a divorce, but... I didn't ask her to do this kind of thing!

And he also came to hate Xu De.

How could the other party possibly have access to these criminal case files?

Even after he presented his evidence, he couldn't see it at all!

"We believe this is possible... ∵..."

Sun Li vaguely brushed it off with words like "didn't notice".

But the next second...

"Don't speak!"

Xu De showed no politeness and told the other party to shut up.

In criminal court, he got carried away and didn't even give the prosecutor any face. In civil court, he wasn't so obedient as to give a nice face to someone like Sun Li. [The sentence is incomplete and lacks context.]

Xu De stared intently at Yang Chunping.

"I'm asking the defendant!"

"Defendant Yang Chunping, I ask you, you..."

"Do they even realize the extent of the trauma inflicted on this child by external forces?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly...

A hint of fear flashed in Yang Chunping's eyes, and she felt as if she were sitting on pins and needles.
