Court.

In the waiting room.

Xu Liang looked around, took a deep breath, and suppressed his inner restlessness.

Apart from him, there were several bailiffs and a few unfamiliar middle-aged men he'd just met for the first time.

These people have nothing to do with the pollution case.

Theoretically, only people related to the case are allowed in the waiting room.

But the problem is....

Theory is in their hands.

"Everything that needs to be checked has been checked. After the trial, we can close the net, led by you... hmm, it's okay if you don't say it, it won't affect closing the net."

A middle-aged man spoke matter-of-factly to Xu Liang.

Upon hearing this, Xu Liang took a deep breath.

He naturally knew who these people were.

Upper City... From Upper City!

That's right, he first notified Upper City about the steel issues, and after verification, Upper City had already taken action.

Initially, they intended to take urgent measures in Sunzhou.

After all, people in Sunshine Kindergarten and several other buildings must be urgently relocated, otherwise the impact on physical health would be severe.

But suddenly they discovered that...

Xu Liang's connections could be used, under the guise of the pollution case, to relocate the people from these buildings!

This way.

Looking at these people, why alert the enemy?

Just go straight ahead!

It's literally killing two birds with one stone, allowing Xu Liang to quickly conclude the case!

"I know."

Xu Liang responded, following the other's intentions... he naturally knew what to do.

One.

Calming Sunzhou residents.

The pollution case must have a result, which is what everyone wants to see!

Two... Following the other's intentions, directly closing the net!

Only...

Just as he hesitated.

The loudspeaker on the waiting room wall suddenly emitted a loud voice.

"Plaintiff, defendant, both parties please enter the court for trial!"

This is... the presiding judge of the case, Qian Jianye's voice!

Xu Liang's eyes suddenly focused, he no longer hesitated, and as he got up, he was about to speak.

"My senior, Lin Fuqiang over there..."

"Don't worry, no matter how you link building materials and pollution, it has no relation with the police, there's no liability." The middle-aged man beside him spoke.

Whether it's a financial case or a pollution case, these cases are basically unrelated to the police, yet whenever something happens, the police need to cooperate!

People often think the police should be responsible, but in fact, these matters are handled by other departments. The police's grassroots force is strong, so cooperation is beneficial, which is why the police often become involved in various cases.

Upon hearing this, Xu Liang felt relieved.

He nodded towards the other person.

Then he composed himself, looked towards the direction of the courtroom, took a deep breath, picked up the files, and walked slowly.

Watching the departing figure.

The few people behind him also sighed, showing a sense of reflection.

If it weren't for him... this case would explode a few years later.

But it would be at the cost of many lives!

Whereas, he avoided this inevitable outcome, minimizing the losses...

As for Luo Jun...

Suddenly, this person paused, his expression turned somber, and he began recalling customs, steel plants, trade orders....

Personnel have already been arranged in Sunzhou.

Just waiting for the trial to end, then...

Close the net!

...

...

Over here.

"Cre~~ek!"

As a heavy and thick door was slowly pushed open.

Solemnity and majesty, carrying countless gazes, fell upon Xu Liang.

This time, the first half of the pollution case will be publicly tried, intended to calm the residents of Sunzhou...

Therefore, a group of reporters and numerous spectators had already gathered early in the courtroom.

Upon seeing the plaintiff enter, their eyes warmed a bit, and with restless and fervent hearts, they immediately began whispering among themselves.

"The plaintiff is here! Wow, so young..."

"This case is finally starting, Sunzhou's environmental pollution... you should feel it now, the public sentiment is truly 'surging'!"

"Damn it, Sunzhou's industrial zone should have been reorganized long ago! I say, these people should pay with their lives to the victims!"

"How do I feel that this lawyer looks familiar, as if I've seen him somewhere..."

"Wait, isn't this the lawyer from Hanhai City? The one named Xu Liang! I've seen him several times!"

"Xu Liang? The one who handled the Jinjiang Hotel corpse fall case, why is he in Sunzhou!?"

"No, why is it him again..."

"..."

In the crowded room, there were many points of focus.

Some were concerned about the environmental safety of Sunzhou, others worried whether the steel plant would try to shirk responsibility.

There were also a few whose focus was somewhat peculiar.

They looked at Xu Liang's familiar face, stunned again and again, as if this scene had happened once before...

Of course, these people were soon dragged back to the main topic.

Nothing else.

The environmental pollution in Sunzhou... was simply too severe!

Otherwise, a simple pollution case could not have attracted so many reporters!!!

"There are quite a few people."

On the plaintiff's seat, Xu Liang scanned the audience, feeling no psychological burden, and instead, he looked upward, towards the opposite side.

The other side was naturally the defendant's seat.

At this moment, Liu Kun and Luo Jun from Jinyang Steel Plant had already appeared on the defendant's seat.

Their appearances... their state wasn't too good.

Their faces were haggard, looking as if a considerable amount of energy had been spent.

Besides, there were the other chemical plant directors accused in this case, but they all followed Luo Jun's lead.

"No, Upper City wants to investigate the steel plant's steel, they shouldn't be able to detect them..."

Xu Liang's mind stirred.

The group from Upper City was elusive, even he, as the 'Master of Traceology', found it difficult to investigate under these circumstances.
