He Zhichu was still very confident in Gu Nianzhi’s ability. He gave her a few more words before putting down the phone.
Back in his room, he took a quick shower and went downstairs to the restaurant for dinner. Seeing that he chengjian was alone, he looked around in surprise and asked the orderly beside him, “Where’s Miss Xie?”
The orderly said loudly, “Miss Xie has left.”
He Chengjian knocked on the seat beside him and said expressionlessly, “Look here, Qingying left a note for you.”
He zhichu walked over and saw the note. [ Zhichu, remember to have dinner with uncle. I’m going home now. We’ll listen in together tomorrow. ]
“Qingying is such a good girl. You have to be nice to her too.”He chengjian thought of Qin Suwen and felt sad. He didn’t even want to eat anymore.”… It’s fate for the two of them to be together. You have to cherish it.”
He zhichu stared at the note for a while, then put it aside and began to eat dinner.
He didn’t remember how long it had been since he and he chengjian had had dinner together. There were so many things that had happened today that the two of them didn’t want to talk.
After the meal, he zhichu only said “Goodnight”and went back to his room.
..
Gu Nianzhi ended the call with HE Zhichu and decided to go to bed early.
She went to bed early and slept soundly. She had no dreams the entire night, and when she opened her eyes, it was the next day, the day of her court appearance.
Gu Nianzhi woke up early in the morning and changed into a custom-made black trouser suit. Her long hair was tied into a bun at the back of her head.
Her small face was crystal clear, like a freshly peeled boiled egg. It was tender and very textured.
Her eyes were big, and her facial features were more three-dimensional. There was only a handful of bright peach-colored lipstick on her lips, and she looked very energetic.
She looked at herself in the mirror and chose a platinum brooch in the shape of a night epiphyllum to wear on her chest. It was a small memorial for Qin Suwen.
She looked at herself in the mirror and whispered,”… Mom, I won’t Let You Down.”
Huo Shaoheng, dressed in a Soviet military uniform, walked out the door with her without any reservations.
Lu Yuan and Lu Jin would dress up as passers-by and go to the courtroom to listen in. Huo Shaoheng would directly act as Gu Nianzhi’s personal bodyguard as Peter.
..
When they arrived outside the courtroom, Gu Nianzhi met up with the people from the Procuratorate and briefly went through the brief description of the case.
The prosecutor from the Procuratorate was a very steady middle-aged man. He looked to be almost 50 years old. Not only was he very experienced, but he had also been promoted to a very high position.
The fact that he was appointed as the prosecutor meant that the Procuratorate had high hopes for this case.
In cases like this, which were more difficult and less certain of success, the Procuratorate would usually send younger rookies to play and give them a chance to train.
Because they were young and inexperienced, there was no harm in losing the case.
It was similar to how professional teams would send in substitutes for unimportant or doomed matches.
But this case was different.
This case had to be tried in front of the whole world. They had to convict Qin Yaoguang in a fair and square manner. They could not afford to make any mistakes.
That was why the Procuratorate had sent out their strongest prosecutor to work with Gu Nianzhi. They had to win this case well.
Even if there wasn’t enough evidence and logic, they had to win against the other party’s team of lawyers.
Sometimes, winning a case didn’t depend on how strong one’s evidence was, but sometimes, it depended on the other party’s mistakes.
Many cases that they thought were certain to be won were caught by the other party because of their negligence, and they lost miserably.
The prosecutor looked at Gu Nianzhi, he said very seriously, “Barrister Gu, I don’t know why the higher-ups agreed to let you be the prosecution’s lawyer. To be honest, I don’t agree. This case has been around for a long time, and there isn’t much evidence. The chain of evidence that you put forward looks like it’s going to be hard to win.”
Then he changed the subject. “But we can’t lose. Do you understand?”
If they lost, it would confirm that the previous charges against Qin yaoguang were untenable. The foreign media wouldn’t care, not to mention that the few lawsuits were completely irrelevant.
They were very good at stirring up trouble.
Gu Nianzhi knew that most of the people here didn’t know about her experience in the courtroom, so she wasn’t angry. She just smiled and said, “I hope that after the trial, you’ll change from disapproving to approving.”
The trial was based on true ability, so it was useless to say anything more now.
However, after Gu Nianzhi discussed it with him in detail, she changed her steps again.
The two of them talked for a while, and it was time to go in.
Putting away their computers, the two of them walked into the a-class courtroom for the trial.
Once they entered, both of them were slightly surprised.
They both knew that the trial would be broadcast live to the whole world, but they had not expected it to be so big!
In the room, other than the plaintiff’s and defendant’s seats, as well as the witness seats, the other seats were all full.
The Qin family only brought Old Master Qin and his grandnephew, Qin Haoshan, but they brought a lot of staff with them. Just the members of the legal team took up half the seats.
Looking at the scale, one could tell that the Qin family had invested a lot this time. They had hired first-class criminal litigation experts and lawyers from both domestic and foreign countries. If they wanted to fight this case for Qin Yaoguang, they also wanted to slap the face of the domestic judiciary, they would confirm that Qin yaoguang had been “Wronged”in the publicity campaign and then seek her release on parole to recuperate abroad.
Gu Nianzhi’s gaze swept past grandfather Qin and the Qin family’s legal team. The corners of her lips curled into a meaningful smile.
Her gaze shifted to the surroundings of the room.
The room in this courtroom was the largest in the entire court. However, there were already all sorts of live broadcast equipment and cameras on the empty space near the wall.
Television stations, newspapers, websites, new media, and even radio stations had joined in.
Not only the domestic media, but also foreign media reporters stationed in the country had come to watch.
At this moment, the reporters, anchors, and anchors were in their respective live broadcast rooms, ready to show their faces in this rare trial that was going to take place all over the world.
Everyone knew that for Qin Yaoguang’s sake, the United States was willing to launch a trade war to threaten her. They had always used domestic justice as an argument.
Today’s trial was also exposed in front of the whole world to shut up those foreign media that liked to blindly force the domestic judicial process.
After all, the United States’court trial couldn’t even take a photo, let alone broadcast it live around the world. Until now, only a sketch artist could draw the scene of the court trial.
Unfortunately, the Procuratorate and the court did not have a high chance of winning this case.
Their hands were full of sweat.
But when they saw that the prosecutor of the Procuratorate and the external lawyer of the prosecution, Gu Nianzhi, were still calm and collected, they heaved a sigh of relief.
It should be fine, right?
After all, major general he zhichu and general he chengjian had recommended Gu Nianzhi to be a barrister, saying that she would definitely be qualified to act as a lawyer for the prosecution.
He Zhichu had even said that if there was only one person who could win this case, it would be Gu Nianzhi.
He Zhichu himself had been a barrister before, and his mother was the most famous barrister in the Empire, Qin Suwen.
His family background and his familiarity with Gu Nianzhi made everyone more inclined to believe his judgment.
Hence, they looked at Gu Nianzhi with even more fervent eyes.
Everyone was looking forward to the ability of this young lady, who had just turned 20, to make major general he zhichu praise her endlessly. Even the extremely picky he chengjian would nod in agreement to her right to be a prosecution lawyer.
After all, this case not only concerned the face of the country, but also concerned the beloved wife of general he chengjian, Qin Suwen.
Back then, Qin Suwen’s sudden death was also a sensation in the country. Now, the people over 30 years old still remembered this case.
They brought along the younger generation. Therefore, he chengjian, Gu Xiangwen, Qin Suwen and Qin Yaoguang’s love and hate entanglements became like a melodramatic soap opera, becoming popular among the public.
There was no other content on everyone’s phones these days. They were all searching for information related to this case.
Xie Qingying’s new media organization was also popular among the netizens because of her close relationship with the He family.
In her company’s special news live broadcast room, the number of people watching the live broadcast was the highest.
For the television station, this was also a rare opportunity. The ratings of daytime programs were far better than those of old entertainment programs like the Spring Festival Gala.
Looking at the steadily rising ratings, the heads of the television stations were grinning from ear to ear.
Ever since the rise of the Internet, the viewership ratings of the television stations had been steadily declining.
Gu Nianzhi walked into her seat, and Huo Shaoheng was sitting behind her, the closest to her.
He was not a Soviet diplomat today. He was only her bodyguard, and her bodyguard alone.
Gu Nianzhi smiled at him, and her gaze swept past Lu Yuan and Lu Jin, who had been modified from the crowd. She then returned to he chengjian, who had a serious expression on his face and was sitting upright. She nodded slightly.
He Zhichu was sitting next to he chengjian, and to his right was Xie qingying, who was dressed in a Chanel white suit.
Xie qingying was dressed similarly to Gu Nianzhi. Her hair was tied up in a bun, and she wore a white jade midriff hairpin on the side.
Gu Nianzhi smiled at her as well, thanking Xie qingying for her kindness.
Only a few people knew what today meant to her.
Gu Nianzhi sat down, and as the judge in the courtroom struck the gavel, the trial began.
