「Ten o’clock sharp.」
Finally, the courtroom appeared on the screen.
Qin Mu and his party were seated on the plaintiff’s side, while Liu Chengqiang and Wu Yun were on the defendant’s side.
Qin Mu!
Watching Qin Mu on the screen, she clenched her teeth, a hint of hatred showing.
Undoubtedly, this whole ss was orchestrated by Qin Mu! If she hadn’t found two reliable lawyers, she might not have won this lawsuit! Luckily, last night, they worked through the night to persuade the opposing witness. They were sure to win today’s trial!
Inside the core rights-defense group of seventeen people she had ford, her other friends also began to chat.
"@everyone, the trial has started! Don’t miss the exciting part!"
"I’m watching. Is this person Qin Mu? He doesn’t look very impressive. Why does the court’s live-stream information show him as an intern lawyer? Isn’t there another lawyer’s seat next to him?"
"Sister Cheng, just watch. Lawyer Liu will absolutely wipe the floor with Qin Mu. The lawyers in Jin City really aren’t all that great!"
"What kind of trouble can an intern lawyer stir up? Lawyer Wu has taken on cases dood to fail before—has he ever actually won one?"
"..."
In the rights-defense group, everyone began to mock and disdain Qin Mu.
The trial hadn’t even started, yet they seed to have already seen the outco.
Cheng Chuxiao saw everyone’s comnts and smiled, her fear of Qin Mu diminishing considerably.
The reason Qin Mu was so terrifying... perhaps it was because Jin City had no lawyers capable of challenging him. Now that he’s up against a tough opponent, today will mark his first defeat!
「anwhile, on screen.」
The solemn voice of the Judgnt Chief ca through: "Today, the First Civil Court will publicly hear the case of Zhang Qingyuan versus Cheng Chuxiao regarding tort liability for a dog attack. I am presiding as the Judgnt Chief, and a collegial panel has been ford in accordance with the law..."
After the solemn declaration, the phase of reading out court discipline began.
During this tedious stage, Cheng Chuxiao glanced at the rights-defense group again.
"These old guys from the nursing ho are such a pain! The courtroom is packed with old n for a single hearing?"
"Aside from that Zhang Qingyuan, I bet the other old geezers are no good either."
"They’re definitely going to have to pay compensation this ti. Killing Binbin and then thinking they can escape responsibility?"
"With Lawyer Liu on the case, it’s a sure win!"
"..."
Bored, the group mbers continued to vent in the group chat.
There was an air of optimism within the group. No one believed they would lose this case. So even started placing bets, guessing how much compensation the court would order Zhang Qingyuan to pay.
Cheng Chuxiao opened the chat box, just about to type a few words to communicate with everyone.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
"RING RING—"
It was a call from a courier.
She furrowed her brows slightly and answered. From the other end of the phone, the familiar voice of the courier imdiately ca through: "Miss Cheng, hello. There’s a package for you here that requires you to co down and sign for it personally."
Cheng Chuxiao paused. She racked her brain but couldn’t recall buying anything recently, her expression puzzled.
She couldn’t help but mutter, "My package? I haven’t bought anything recently. Surely it can’t be another court summons, can it?"
After Binbin passed away, she had completely lost the desire to shop. The only other package she had received recently was, in fact, the summons for the current trial.
From the other end of the phone, the courier, after seemingly glancing at the package, replied, "You guessed right, Miss Cheng. It is indeed a court summons. Please co down and sign for it personally."
Cheng Chuxiao swallowed hard, an expression of utter disbelief on her face.
A damn court summons. She had already received one. How could there be another?
"Please co down to sign for it as soon as possible," the courier urged again while she was still stunned.
Cheng Chuxiao put down her phone and glanced at the ongoing live broadcast of the trial. Then, clenching her jaw, she stood up, left the villa, and headed outside.
I’d like to see just who is suing this ti!
