The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress novel Chapter 243

Chapter 243: Chapter 91: Chi Lu the Great Killer in All Directions (Second Update)_3

Ji Heng squinted his eyes as he threaded the wool-like end of the thread through the nearly invisible eye of the needle.

Chen Bureau and Jiang He were both astounded by what they saw.

After threading the needle, Ji Heng finally spoke, “It’s enough for Shaojun to go alone.”

How could Chen Bureau agree to this? But he did not say much, simply changing the subject, “Miss Bai has switched from liberal arts to science, how are her grades in her senior year of high school now?”

The parent-teacher conference hadn’t yet taken place.

Bai Lian never took the initiative to talk about her scores.

What Ji Heng remembered were the scores from the last monthly test because Bai Lian’s results had taken him by surprise; he remembered them very clearly, “450, not a high requirement, but enough to meet the Tier 2 university admission line.”

“Ah?” Chen Bureau was thrown into disarray.

Tier 2 university admission line?

He was still planning on pressuring Miss Bai to attend Jiangjing University.

Wednesday.

The trial for Zhang Shize’s case commenced.

At eight o’clock, before the courthouse doors had opened, Zhang’s mother and Yan Lu were already waiting at the entrance, looking eagerly through the doors.

At nine o’clock, Bai Lian, Jiang Fulai, Pu Xiaohan, and Weng Qi arrived.

At nine twenty, Chi Yundai arrived fashionably late.

He was wearing an ordinary black lawyer’s gown today, which he had just bought this past Sunday. There was no specific requirement for the robe for this court session, and he hadn’t asked for his own to be brought over.

“Chi Lu,” Bai Lian handed him a wooden box, “this is your lawyer’s badge.”

Chi Yundai casually took it from her, opened it, and saw a black badge inside. He glanced at it and then clipped it onto his left side.

His attitude was very casual.

Bai Lian lowered her voice, whispering to Jiang Fulai, “The lawyer they’ve hired today seems to be very formidable. Can Chi Lu handle it?”

“Who did they hire?” Jiang Fulai asked with a slight bow of his head, his voice deep.

“Zhao Jingzhou,” Bai Lian thought for a moment.

Jiang Fulai pondered for a while, then shook his head, “I haven’t heard of him.”

Bai Lian:

Forget it.

Xin Sister stood behind the two, glancing at Chi Yundai’s solemn face as he adjusted his lawyer’s badge, and then back at Bai Lian and the unapproachable-looking Jiang Fulai…

This group of people, how come they seemed both reliable and unreliable at the same time?

Would they really be able to make it?

Nine-thirty.

Everyone arrived at the courtroom. _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}

Zhang’s mother and Yan Lu finally saw Zhang Shize sitting in the defendant’s seat.

The attorney Zhao stood up. First, he glanced at Chi Yundai’s side.

Then, picking up a pile of documents, he started his argument, “Your Honor, members of the jury. The accused brutally assaulted my client in the underground parking garage, without any prior entanglement, an extremely vile act…”

Zhao Jingzhou was eloquent and compelling in his argument.

He listed a series of interpersonal relations between the two parties and evidence of Liu Xinming’s charity work in daily life.

Every word he spoke was clearly transmitted to everyone’s ears.

On the left in the spectator’s area, with each word they heard, Yan Lu and Zhang’s mother tensed a little more, their hearts hanging in the balance uncertainly.

Even without facing Zhao Jingzhou head-on, even separated by several meters, even with no eye contact, they clearly felt the pressure coming from Zhao Jingzhou.

“As expected of the Invincible General…” Weng Qi took a deep breath.

Absolute dominating presence.

Many lawyers are overwhelmed by their opponent’s presence right from the start; at that point, the outcome is nearly certain.

Yan Lu and others anxiously looked at Chi Yundai sitting before them, hoping he could withstand Zhao Jingzhou’s pressure.

“Don’t worry,” Zhang’s mother, not wanting to pressure Chi Yundai, said with a trembling voice, “no matter the outcome, we are very grateful that you are willing to defend my son.”

Across the room, Director Liu’s companion spoke in a low, mocking tone, looking derisively across the room: “Director Liu, they’re scared on the other side. You can rest assured, with Attorney Zhao here, Zhang Shize is as good as dead.”

Director Liu uttered a “hmm” and his shadowy gaze slid across Zhang Shize, settling on the attorney opposite.

Chi Yundai fixated his gaze on Zhao Jingzhou.

He didn’t pick up any documents, waiting until the other side had finished explaining the last piece of legislation. Then he raised his hand, “Nonsense! I’ve told you in class, a qualified lawyer must treat each law with precision. Article 233 of the Criminal Law was just revised last month by me; have you even studied criminal law lately? Your brain seems completely empty.”
