Sensing Lu Jin’s anxious expression, Gu Nianzhi thought he was still worried about her, so she said, “Dad, don’t think too much about it. In fact, in my opinion, Qin Yaoguang might not dare to expose my special constitution.”
“It’s best if she still has some sense,” Lu Jin said angrily as he shifted his gaze uneasily. “But she’s now under Young Master He’s control. Your next interrogation will be held in the secret court martial. Even if she were to announce it publicly, there will be a limit to the number of people who will know. With He Zhichu around, they won’t dare touch you.”
Gu Nianzhi nodded and smiled. “Yes, that’s what I thought, so I’m not worried. I need to prepare how to deal with this in court.”
Qin Yaoguang and the people in her lab still weren’t considered suspects.
They still had an even bigger battle to fight in court.
Lu Jin was very pleased with her reaction and said, “Have you finished watching the video of the trial of Young Master He’s mother? Did you learn anything?”
“Yes.” Gu Nianzhi thought of Qin Suwen’s video of the trial and was full of praise. “Young Master He’s mother is indeed very impressive. Her performance in court was simply peerless.”
This woman’s elegance in court was not based on her looks at all. It was more than just her figure and appearance. It was based on her innate charm.
“Isn’t that right? !” Lu Jin was excited. “She really knows how to talk! I’ve never met someone who knows how to talk so well!”
As he spoke, he stood up and put on airs. He imitated Qin Suwen’s tone of voice and waved his hand as he began to recite one of her closing statements.
“… Our law emphasizes too much on the rights of the defendant and protects the rights of too many criminal suspects. But what about the victims? Who will protect the rights of the victims? !”
“… When the young girl was raped and killed in the classroom, the suspect of the rape and murder case was tightly protected. No one had seen his photo, and even his real name was not released. But the picture of the murdered girl, her real name and identity, had been widely circulated on the Internet.”
“Why is that? Is it because the deceased cannot speak for themselves? The deceased no longer has human rights?”
“Or has our conscience become biased?”
“Our law now does not even meet the minimum ethical standards. In some ways, it has even become the destroyer of morals!”
..
Gu Nianzhi stared at Lu Jin with her mouth agape.
How many times had this guy watched Qin Suwen’s trial video? !
He had practically memorized every word she had said…
“How was it? Did I say it well?” Lu Jin finished his closing statement and turned around to look at Gu Nianzhi with an especially happy smile.
Gu Nianzhi clapped her hands and was very touched. “Dad, you’re amazing! You’re really amazing!”
“Not at all. Actually, it’s only 99% restored.” Lu Jin pretended to be modest as he sat down. The corners of his lips curled up, revealing his true state of mind.
“I think it’s 100% restored.” Gu Nianzhi gave him a thumbs up and smiled widely. “Dad, don’t be so modest in front of me.”
“How is it 100% restored?” Lu Jin waved his hand and raised his eyebrows proudly. “She has a female voice, and I have a male voice. There’s an innate difference of one percentage point, so it’s only 99% restored.”
Gu Nianzhi: “…”
She had forgotten that Lu Jin was a very strict scientist.
Gu Nianzhi rubbed her nose. Fawning over a scientist with a great memory was really tiring.
“Okay, 99% then.” Gu Nianzhi looked down at her phone and continued to read the news about Qin Yaoguang on Weibo. She said, “Dad, you think too highly of me. I think there’s still a big gap between me and lawyer Qin.”
She was more of an improviser, and her preparations obviously weren’t as solid as Qin Suwen’s.
Not only had Qin Suwen performed well on the spot, but he had also made detailed preparations beforehand. Whenever she went to court, there would be no cases where she needed to add additional materials or summon new witnesses.
As long as she went on stage, it would be a one-time deal, and the outcome would be decided.
That was why she had a nickname in the legal world, “Qin First Instance.” It meant that all the cases she had taken on only required a first instance, and no one would be able to successfully appeal the second instance.
Lu Jin hugged the back of his head and lost in thought, he leaned back on the sofa. “You’re still young. I see that you already have two-thirds of her skills. With time, you’ll surpass her soon!”
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and did not comment.
She browsed through the trending news on Weibo, but in her mind, she was trying to figure out how to cut in when the court martial was held.
The note was just one piece of evidence. It would be very difficult to convict Qin Yaoguang with just this note.
She had only been reading for a few minutes when she suddenly saw a piece of news quickly trending.
“A fire broke out on the outskirts of a military vehicle. Qin Yaoguang’s lab worker was killed in the fire.”
Gu Nianzhi’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly looked up and said, “Turn on the TV! Turn on the TV now! See if there’s any breaking news!”
It was better to watch TV.
Lu Jin was confused, but he still took out the remote control and turned on the news channel of the television on the wall.
Sure enough, the TV was also broadcasting the breaking news live.
A female reporter in a fireman’s uniform was holding a microphone and standing on the shoulder of the highway in the suburbs.
Behind her was a raging fire.
The fire, emitting thick black smoke and staining the sky with a scar, was overwhelming
Gu Nianzhi’s heart tightened and her head felt dizzy. She quickly found He Zhichu’s number and called him without thinking.
The phone on the other end rang a few times, but no one answered.
Gu Nianzhi was even more worried. He Zhichu would be fine, right?
She had seen the news before and knew that he was personally responsible for the capture of Qin Yaoguang and the people from her lab.
Soon, the news on television confirmed this.
“… the person commanding the scene is Major General He Zhichu from the military. He’s over there directing the fire, but he refuses to accept interviews!”
The female reporter who was broadcasting the scene seemed to be a little angry. Several times, she tried to break through the cordon line with her microphone and charge towards the burning military vehicle.
However, the soldier in charge of the cordon was very strong and did not hesitate to stop her from moving forward.
The female reporter was furious and pointed at the soldier’s nose and scolded, “You’re obstructing the freedom of the press! What’s your name? Military rank? Official position? Unit number? I want to report you to your leader!”
The little soldier’s face was flushed red, but he still stood there without moving. He used his body to form a wall, separating the sea of people in front of him from the sea of fire behind him.
The female reporter turned around. She said to the camera indignantly, “The military has gone too far this time! Dean Qin is a famous brain surgeon in our country. Her laboratory has made outstanding contributions to our country’s biological science and medicine! But the military arrested all of them with just a single arrest warrant…”
In the live broadcast room of the television station’s news channel, there was an anchor who was connecting with the female reporters at the scene. All of them were very excited, and their faces were glowing.
Because another big news had happened. They did not care about how many people survived the fire or how to put out the fire. They only knew that their program’s viewership ratings were going to rise, and the topic’s heat was going to be hyped up.
Only when the viewership was high could the popularity be realized.
In order to hype up the show and increase its appeal, they had even hired experts to interact with the female reporters in the live broadcast room. They had even set up a direct phone call to allow ordinary citizens to participate in the discussion.
Very soon, a few passers-by called in and unanimously condemned the military, especially Major General He Zhichi’s aggressve behavior. They also hinted that he had used his family background to get promoted as a young master soldier to arrest Qin Yaoguang, in fact, it was an act of using official business to vent his personal anger.
Gu Nianzhi: “…”
Where did this b * stard come from? !
She quickly picked up her phone and called the hotline in the live broadcast room.
However, the line was always busy after she had dialed for five minutes. There was no way to call in.
Was it really that popular?
There were so many people calling at the same time that the line was busy?
Or were they just playing with themselves
Gu Nianzhi made up her mind and used her Trojan virus program to hack into the hotline number.
Most of the calls now were made over the internet. In order to save money in the live broadcast room, the hotline that interacted with the audience was the internet phone, so it was convenient for Gu Nianzhi.
The moment she used a Trojan virus to hack into the background of their internet phone, she realized that there was indeed something fishy about the so-called “audience hotline”!
There weren’t many people on the phone at all, so it was impossible for the line to be busy all the time.
Gu Nianzhi sneered and squeezed the phone out of their phone, then dialed the number herself.
To be on the safe side, she turned on the voice-changing system on her phone. Of course, the program that hid the IP was accompanied by the Trojan virus.
She immediately identified herself. “I’m a lawyer. What I want to say is that your female reporter at the scene was very unprofessional and has violated many laws.”
Gu Nianzhi continued to speak eloquently. “First of all, with an arrest warrant, you can arrest people. Your female reporter actually challenged the court’s arrest warrant. How law-blind is she? Did she graduate from nine-year compulsory education?”
“Second of all, Qin Yaoguang has made contributions in the past, but that doesn’t mean she won’t break the law, nor does it mean she can use her past achievements to offset the laws she has broken.”
“Third of all, Major General He Zhichi is putting out the fire. He is on a mission. May I ask which soldier has the obligation to be interviewed while on a mission? Speak up and let the people beat you to death!”
“Fourth of all, your female reporter attempted to break through the military’s cordon line, which is already illegal. Furthermore, she is suspected of threatening the active-duty soldiers on a mission. Your news video is evidence. When this is over, wait for the military’s lawyer letter!”
The news anchor, expert, and female reporter in the live broadcast room were stunned by Gu Nianzhi’s lecture.
After a full five minutes, Gu Nianzhi had finished most of what she wanted to say. The other side hurriedly urged the director, “Quickly cut off her phone! Cut off the recording of the video just now! It can’t be broadcast!”
The director was sweating profusely backstage. He sobbed, “I can’t… I can’t cut off her call! This function seems to have failed!”
“The recording has been broadcast simultaneously. I can’t cut it off…”
