"In this world, nothing is absolutely fixed." Shangguan Wanwan grinned, showing her teeth.

Her gaze carried some depth, as if she wasn’t talking about this case, but upon listening closely, it was indeed about this case—

"So, confidence isn’t given by others, nor is it based on some new evidence. Confidence is right here with me."

She patted her chest, smiled, turned, and gracefully ascended the steps in her high heels.

Leaving behind a chorus of astonished admiration.

These reporters have spent years on legal beats, witnessing various impressive lawyers and complex cases, but they’ve never seen a female lawyer with as unique a style as Shangguan Wanwan.

"She’s a woman filled with confidence from inside out, how does she do it!"

"She’s so sure of her abilities, down to her bones, that’s why she takes on such difficult cases and succeeds in overturning them. She’s definitely going to win today without a doubt in the final appeal."

"I can only say, she’s too impressive! I really like this kind of distinctively unique strong woman."

In contrast, other male lawyers hurriedly arriving to handle the trial were completely overshadowed by Shangguan Wanwan.

In the courtroom.

When Shangguan Wanwan walked in wearing high heels, her aura remained undiminished, naturally drawing another wave of attention.

She approached the defense bench and smiled at Li Meilian behind her, "You’re here. Don’t worry, the opposition is just being persistent; it’s just a formality."

Li Meilian nodded and forced a smile, her anxious expression easing quite a bit upon Shangguan’s arrival.

Across was the appeal seat.

Granny Yang was pushed in by a nurse in a wheelchair, receiving an IV drip, looking pale and weary. When she saw the two women smiling opposite her, she almost yanked out the infusion tube!

"Is Professor Gu really not coming?" She coughed weakly, looking at the accompanying lawyer beside her.

The lawyer shook his head with difficulty, "Lawyer Gu is on a business trip, not in the capital. The law firm sent me today. Elderly person, please prepare yourself psychologically; we’ll do our best, but the result is likely to be..."

Unchangeable.

Last time, Shangguan Wanwan brought out a new witness, Wang Youzhi, who was confirmed as the true culprit, with all the evidence. Such a case is impossible to overturn again.

This appeal is merely to fulfill Granny Yang’s wish, a futile and final struggle.

"I’m truly sorry, my brother might have some particularly urgent matters these days, can’t come back. I apologize on his behalf again! I’ll be with you at the jury bench, see, I brought a support group for you..."

Taking advantage of the recess before the trial, Gu Qiusha came up to comfort Granny Yang, pointing her to the audience seats where a calm figure in plain white clothes sat.

Zuzi nodded slightly towards Granny Yang, while Xi Rubao waved enthusiastically, forming a heart shape with his hands.

"Thank you, thank you kids..." Granny Yang murmured, but couldn’t hide the bitter smile on her lips.

Compared to the imposing aura of Shangguan Wanwan, their side was indeed too weak.

Indeed.

After the trial began.

In less than five minutes, Shangguan Wanwan’s sharp speech had already refuted all the appeal points from Granny Yang’s side one by one.

She insisted on Li Meilian’s acquittal, and Wang Youzhi being sentenced according to the law.

The judge nodded repeatedly, preparing to announce the final verdict. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

The situation was about to be settled.

Granny Yang grasped the IV tube tightly, her trembling lips unable to speak, her wrinkled eyes fixed firmly on Li Meilian opposite her.

Could it be that she’d really lost her mind, mistaken this woman?

Her son was already dead, she was dying too, and no one would ever care for the truth...
