Chapter 219 The Court Session Begins
When it was quiet in the office, the door to the inner room was pushed open. Chu Jinyu rubbed her eyes and said, “They were really noisy. I was awakened by Tang Wenyi’s screams halfway through my sleep. My heart almost gave out.”
She sat in Lu Ming’s arms habitually and hugged his waist tightly. “I need Brother Lu Ming’s comfort. Otherwise, I will have nightmares at night.”
She blinked at her husband. Lu Ming melted like an iceberg. He chuckled and planted a kiss on her forehead. “I didn’t expect them to come looking for me. If I had known that they would wake you up, I would have let them kowtow for a while before agreeing.”
“The Tang family has always been arrogant. It’s impossible for them to kneel down. Unfortunately, I forgot to capture this scene. If word gets out, they’ll become the laughing stock of the entire capital. Tang Wenyi won’t be able to raise her head in the future!”
Chu Jinyu was merciless when it came to dealing with people. She buried her head in her husband’s shoulder and said, “I heard that the Tang family has a thick book of family rules. If anyone violates any of the rules, they will be punished by Old Master Tang by kneeling and flogging. I think Tang Wenyi has been punished quite a lot.”
After all, Tang Wenyi had a disappointing husband and son.
She paused for a moment before continuing, “Are you really going to help them fish Lu Ze out? With Lu Ze’s petty personality, he definitely won’t let you off easily. Isn’t this letting a tiger back to its den? It wasn’t easy to get Lu Ze locked up. It’ll be difficult to do this next time. You… should have other ideas, right?”
“Little Yu knows me well.”
Lu Ming hugged her and said, “I never said that I wanted them to win the lawsuit. I only agreed to lend someone to them.” The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
Ever since she borrowed Themis’s lawyer, Tang Wenyi’s heart had been at ease. Other than playing mahjong with her friends, she was also in the mood to tidy herself up. Meanwhile, Lu Yaohua had been living comfortably without his wife’s threats and harassment.
Soon it was the day of the trial.
When Lu Ze saw that the defense lawyer was from Themis Law Firm, he collapsed mentally. He looked at his mother in disbelief. What is going on? Why did she have to get Lu Ming’s people to defend me? Aren’t I finished? With his personality, how could he help me?
Tang Wenyi completely misunderstood what he meant and thought that he was feeling uneasy, so she smiled and gave him an OK sign. This time, she was determined to win! With the presence of a top lawyer in China, wouldn’t it be a piece of cake to free her son? She was prepared to throw a big banquet when Lu Ze came out!
On the other hand, Lu Yaohua was sitting listlessly beside her. After the trial ended, he would no longer be of any use. At that time, the Tang family could deal with him as they pleased. He could not retaliate at all. He looked at the victims sitting opposite him and was momentarily stunned. How did I end up like this?
With a slam of the gavel, the judge sitting at the head of the table said, “The court session officially begins now!”
According to an anonymous report, the defendant, Lu Ze, had disrupted the social order recently. After a detailed investigation by the official investigation team, they found out that the defendant had indeed done these things and also killed a Mr. Zhang two years ago. As his family did not accept an out-of-court settlement, he went all out and silenced all his family members!
The onlookers in the audience were stunned. What the f*ck! they thought. This is just the beginning, and it’s already so exciting? As for the reporters, they were like sharks that had smelled blood, frantically pressing the shutter button of their cameras. This was big news!
“Also, five years ago, the defendant, Lu Ze, was rejected by a girl that he failed to woo. In a fit of anger, he hired some hooligans to kill her. A bystander accidentally bumped into them and went forward to stop them. He was killed by those hooligans. In the end, the defendant paid compensation for the whole matter. Regarding these tragic cases, does the defendant have anything to refute?”
Gasps could be heard from below the stage! Isn’t this too ruthless? No wonder we only found out about this today. This Lu family is really ruthless!
Lu Ming, who was wearing a hat, curled the corners of his lips. He looked meaningfully at Lu Ze’s back, hoping that the gift he prepared would give him a surprise! He did not want him to faint midway.
“These must be people who framed my son!”
Tang Wenyi said excitedly, “Ah Ze has been a good kid since he was young. How could he have committed murder? You must have made a mistake in your investigation! Or the victims were mistaken!”
The judge rolled his eyes. Whether it was a misunderstanding or not, the evidence had long been presented to him. He had only come here today to go through the procedure. In any case, Lu Ze would be detained in the end. If they let him go, wouldn’t the credibility of the officials drop in the hearts of the public?
“Ms. Tang, please remain calm. If you’re unhappy with anything, please speak in truth.”
