"Court is adjourned!?"

"The court has truly adjourned!"

In a daze, the moment Zhang Bingxin announced the adjournment, the already agitated audience could no longer contain their emotions.

"Sister Liu, didn't the newspaper predict that this case would be concluded after the first trial?!"

Reporter Zhang Xia covered her open lips as she watched the judges and prosecutors gradually leave, her eyes filled with indescribable shock.

Wang Qiang's case is very simple, so almost no one would think it needs to be dragged out repeatedly.

After all, prosecutors and judges are not sentimental. Without personal emotions, a trial conducted purely according to procedure is enough to convict the defendant, which takes only three hours in total.

but.....

What does it mean when an unknown defense lawyer appears out of nowhere after the trial begins, abruptly halting the proceedings and forcing the prosecutor to adjourn the court to search for new evidence?

What do you mean by this unknown lawyer who single-handedly silenced three prosecutors and even had time to set a trap for a top-notch lawyer to shut him up?

The defendant's momentum is even rising!

"Where did this guy come from?"

Sister Liu was also shocked; she was a journalist.

Having worked in Green Forest City for so long, this is the first time I've ever heard of a lawyer named "Xu De".

However, there's no time for him to think about this issue in detail right now.

A series of commotions reached my ears.

Sister Liu's ears twitched, and her face changed drastically as she turned her head to look.

As the court session adjourned and everyone prepared to leave, dozens of reporters suddenly stood up, grabbed their microphones, and headed for the aisle.

What's the point of this scene in court?

They're definitely there to grab a spot to interview the person in question!

"Oh no, I spaced out!"

Sister Liu felt a surge of anxiety and wanted to slap herself.

She hurriedly picked up the microphone, walked quickly outside, and added a reminder as she went.

"Xia, hurry up! If you don't leave now, you won't be able to squeeze in!"

Zhang Xia was also slow to realize what was happening. She hurriedly tidied herself up, then looked up at the courtroom doors and was momentarily confused.

"Sister Liu, who are we going to interview?"

Generally speaking.

The reporter mainly interviewed two people.

First, the presiding judge is the one who brings the case to a close, and whatever they say is important information.

Secondly, there are the prosecutors, who possess the evidence that determines the nature and direction of the case!

But this case...

"Is that even a question? Defense attorney, corner that Attorney Xu!"

Sister Liu took a deep breath and plunged headfirst into the crowd.

Zhang Xia hurriedly followed.

......

During the court hearing.

"Adjournment...?"

In the defendant's dock, Wang Qiang's cloudy eyes suddenly moved. He looked at the gradually dispersing courtroom in front of him, feeling somewhat dazed.

He only came to his senses when the bailiffs beside him came to take him away.

He then instinctively walked towards the defendant's seat.

Xu De was quietly organizing the documents when, as if noticing something, the other person looked up, glanced at them, and gave them a reassuring smile.

Suddenly.

Wang Qiang's heart seemed to beat more strongly because of this expression.

He took a deep breath, stood between two bailiffs, and was escorted away.

The client was seen leaving the courtroom.

Xu De didn't linger. After tidying up his defense materials, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Click!"

The door to the passageway was pushed open.

The expected path did not appear before them; instead, they were met with a massive crowd of reporters, forming a human wall.

People came out.

Everyone's eyes lit up, and without saying a word, countless cameras and flashlights were thrust towards Xu De's lips.

At the same time, there was a cacophony of anxious voices.

"Attorney Xu, what are your thoughts on this case?"

"Was the mid-match recess something you anticipated? What are your thoughts on the prosecution's position?"

"Attorney Xu, we're from Phoenix News Television. We'd like to conduct an exclusive interview with you. Do you have the time...?"

"Could you tell us your thoughts on why you dared to plead not guilty?"

"..."

Several mouths opened their mouths, and the questions that followed seemed to turn into a tide, instantly engulfing Xu De.

That fervent emotion resembled that of some celebrity fan events.

However, Xu De had no intention of becoming a star.

He looked back in the direction the prosecutors had left.

Just then, I noticed Chen Wei, whose face was gloomy, and Li Youcai and Liu Cui, who were furious and in a fit of rage, walking away.

Seeing this, Xu De looked away.

The first court hearing has ended, but that doesn't mean I can rest.

He was going to prepare an even more surprising gift for the public prosecutor!

Thinking of this.

Xu De's expression turned serious, his face becoming unusually solemn.

"Make way, make way!"

He pushed aside the microphone shoved into his face as he squeezed his way out of the crowd.

Seeing his refusal to communicate.

The reporters were clearly getting anxious.

"Mr. Xu, even just a reply would be appreciated!"

"Please wait, we'd like to offer a paid interview!"

"Attorney Xu, please wait a moment..."

Despite their desperate attempts to persuade him to stay.

Xu De pretended not to hear, and soon broke out of the crowd and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

See here.

Reporter Zhang Xia and Sister Liu lowered their hands somewhat reluctantly.

"Sister, what should we do?" Zhang Xia was at a loss.

They haven't said a word, so how are they supposed to write their articles?

Sister Liu took a deep breath and said seriously:

"Just write down what he did during the trial!"

Whether it's praise or criticism, in short... as long as it's written down, it will definitely become the focus of attention in today's society!

As for the publication time...

Sister Liu glanced at the people from the dozen or so newspapers beside her.

These people are all cunning old foxes; if I'm even a step slow... I won't even get a taste of the soup.

Sister Liu made up her mind.

"After you finish writing it today, go directly to the editor-in-chief for verification. It absolutely must be published in tomorrow's morning paper!"

When it's published in tomorrow's morning paper...

That's when public opinion will boil over again!

The two left in a hurry.

As for Xu De...

at this time.

Xu De had already walked out of the courthouse. He felt the tranquility of five o'clock in the afternoon and took a breath of fresh air.

Upon seeing him, the slender man who had been waiting outside stepped forward.

"How's it going? How's the trial progressing?!"

The newcomer was none other than the "Nine Heavens Flying Dragon, Jade-Faced Thunder God, Universally Transforming All Beings, Subduing Demons, and Longevity True Lord!"

Of course, she was also called Lin Yue. She stood in front of Xu De, looking nervous, and her eyes kept glancing into the courthouse.

Xu De smiled, but didn't rush to answer. Instead, he asked a question.

"What about the person I asked you to find for help? Have you found them?"

There's no need to rush to answer questions about the court proceedings.

Based on his experience... by tomorrow morning at the latest, the entire city of Green Forest will be filled with reports about him!

It can be said that: an unknown nobody suddenly becomes famous!

Upon hearing this, Lin Yue suppressed her curiosity and nodded, "Found it."

Upon hearing this...

A glint of light flashed in Xu De's eyes as he said:

"It's getting late, let's head straight to Li Family Village in the dark!"

Lin Yue was taken aback, then said in astonishment:

"No... the trial just ended, and he went to steal without even eating!"

Xu De spoke up: "Stop talking nonsense, let's get to work!"

After speaking...

The two hurriedly left into the distance.

The court's emblem hung on a high platform behind the two men, silently watching their backs until it could no longer be seen.

......

......

5:30 p.m.

Chen Wei, a lawyer from Yang Teng Law Firm, remained silent.

He took a taxi back to the law firm alone. If you looked closely, you would notice that his collar was disheveled, his hair was a mess, and there were even a few bloodstains on his face.

This was made by Liu Cui.

The reason was his disastrous performance in court...

He returned to Yang Teng's law firm with this disheveled appearance.

"Squeak~"

As soon as the door opened, several lawyers who were getting coffee instinctively turned their heads to look in the law firm lobby. After recognizing who had entered, they instinctively smiled:

"How's Attorney Chen? Did he make it back safely?"

"Ha, I heard the prosecutor on the public prosecution side is Hu Guang. With him around, I reckon we don't even need to... huh?"

The group had just started exchanging pleasantries when they were stunned after seeing Chen Wei's appearance.

Then he hesitated.

"Attorney Chen, what... what happened?"

Upon hearing this...

Chen Wei took a deep breath, suppressing the intense emotions surging in his chest, and said expressionlessly:

"It's nothing."

The lawyers looked at each other and then asked questions.

"Attorney Chen, how's the case going?"

"The firm takes this case quite seriously. Although it doesn't have a good reputation, winning it would be a great testament to the firm's capabilities."

case?

Chen Weigang nearly lost control of his suppressed anger.

His hands were clenched into fists until his knuckles turned white, and he gritted his teeth as he squeezed out a sentence.

"The case...it's nothing!"

What kind of answer is that?

Several colleagues were a little confused, but dared not ask any further questions, so they laughed and said:

"Attorney Chen, the entire law firm is waiting for you. They seem to be your old classmates. You two should catch up; we won't disturb you any longer."

Old classmate?

Chen Wei paused, his brows furrowing unconsciously.

Just as he was pondering who it was, still without any clue, a voice suddenly came from beside him.

"Haha, Old Chen, how's the case going!?"

That voice... sounds familiar.

Chen Wei paused, and then his expressionless face slowly turned to the side.

What came into view was a smiling face.

This is......

Sun Hao!

That's right, the person who came was Sun Hao from Jinmao Law Firm, Xu De's team leader, and his old classmate who provided him with "important pre-war intelligence materials" before the trial!

Sun Hao got up from the sofa with a smile and walked towards him.

"How's it going, Lao Chen? Did you win the case?"

The instant those words fell...

Chen Wei's face, which was originally passable, turned red and even black at a visible speed, with veins bulging on his forehead and his features gradually becoming ferocious.

His breathing became increasingly rapid, and the emotions that had been weighing on his chest could no longer be controlled, causing his chest to heave violently!

Those hands were clenched into fists, the knuckles cracking, and the muscles all over his body were taut and clearly defined!

Sun Hao... Sun Hao...

"Sun Hao!"

A roar echoed throughout the law firm.

next second.

In Sun Hao's bewildered eyes, Chen Wei's angry face descended from the sky, contorted with rage, accompanied by a fist that gradually grew larger.

"You fucking dare to come see me?!"
