Hearing the staff mber’s response, Zhang Wei was stunned. He couldn’t help but ask, "Are they all full?"
The staff mber nodded. "All full." As they spoke, they handed Zhang Wei’s ID back to him.
Zhang Wei, utterly bewildered, began to question his life.
Today was the day of the trial for Jiang Daping and his three brothers on charges of abandonnt. For this reason, he had specifically co to the court, wanting to sit in on the case. Most importantly... he wanted to see the fate of these four unfilial sons. But unexpectedly... he couldn’t even get through the door. Damn, it was completely full.
"Wait a minute!" He suddenly rembered sothing and hurriedly asked, "The people who registered before... were they a group of elderly people?"
The staff mber looked sowhat surprised but still nodded.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Wei couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath.
A group of elderly people! Where there are elderly people, Qin Mu is sure to appear! This ans... this case is very likely related to Qin Mu.
Combining this with what he had learned, the mother of Jiang Daping and his three brothers also seed to live in a nursing ho. That nursing ho... could very well be the one where Qin Mu resided!
At this thought, his pupils suddenly narrowed, and he felt an inexplicable chill.
Luckily... he hadn’t taken this case. Every case related to Qin Mu was dangerous. This ti, by a fluke, he had dodged a bullet.
"No, I have to go back and watch the live broadcast." Despite his relief, he was still itching with curiosity, so he quickly picked up his ID and ran out of the courthouse.
He had narrowly escaped a disaster. But Jiang Daping and his three brothers... were now the ones Qin Mu had set his sights on, seemingly in the throes of "good fortune."
Unable to view the scene directly, he could still watch the trial live via the broadcast.
「At 9:50 a.m.」
「The Second Criminal Court.」
On the plaintiff’s side, Feng Cuihua, as if sensing sothing, suddenly looked up. She turned her gaze toward the entrance.
At the courtroom door, she saw her four sons walk in one after another. She trembled all over, and her eyes couldn’t help but moisten.
But these sons of hers... didn’t glance at her from beginning to end. Instead, they followed their respective lawyers to the defendant’s dock, with no intention of greeting her at all.
In the public gallery, Zhang Qingyuan, Li Weiguo, and others also noticed Jiang Daping and his three brothers.
"These four, they seem to have no remorse at all."
"Sentence them! Sentence them harshly! They don’t even acknowledge their own mother?"
"If I had sons like that, I’d have beaten them to death the day after they were born!"
"Their attitude, the look in their eyes... it’s like they’re looking at an enemy..."
"..."
They were all incredibly angry. Even before the trial started, this scene had already infuriated them.
There was a seven-day waiting period before the trial began, and these four hadn’t taken the initiative to contact or apologize. Now, at the comncent of the trial, not a single greeting was spoken. They hadn’t even given Feng Cuihua a proper look.
To raise sons like this... it’s better not to have raised them at all.
Qin Mu, seated in the public gallery, also noticed these four individuals. He frowned slightly.
His focus was different from Zhang Qingyuan and the others. Next to Jiang Daping and his three brothers stood their respective lawyers.
Indeed. Four lawyers.
Clearly, these n hadn’t contacted each other either; each had hired his own lawyer.
Typically, in cases with multiple defendants like this, it’s considered joint litigation, usually handled by a single lawyer for their collective defense.
But Jiang Daping and his three brothers had each hired their own lawyers, which was enough to prove that their relationships weren’t very good either.
「anwhile.」
「The defendant’s dock.」
Jiang Daping, sitting in his place, couldn’t help but look at his lawyer. Anxiously, he asked, "Are you really eighty percent sure about this case?"
After being "tricked" by Zhang Wei, he had spent the past few days seeking out many lawyers before finding this one, who seed the most reliable. Before the trial, this lawyer had repeatedly assured him, claiming an eighty percent chance of success.
"Of course," the lawyer said with a slight smile, gesturing towards the plaintiff’s side. He continued confidently, "See that lawyer over there? I’ve specifically looked into his defense cases. They’re mostly civil lawsuits with a win rate of less than thirty percent."
"He has hardly handled any criminal cases before. When I said I was eighty percent sure, I was actually overestimating him."
The person he was pointing to was Wang Dachui, sitting next to Feng Cuihua.
