"You can lawfully request a retrial."

With those words spoken.

Liang Shan immediately stood up, along with the other two judges, leaving the room with a heavy expression, their departure as swift as possible!

The civil case... as it was fought, everything changed!

They didn’t want to wade into these troubled waters.

As for whether the defendant accepts it or not?

Even if you don’t accept it, you have to endure it!

"We won!!!"

The plaintiff’s side.

Watching the judge leave, Yang Ruoxi suddenly became excited, then embraced Su Yu, genuinely happy from the bottom of her heart.

Liang Shan announced the retraction of the first-instance decision, dismissing the civil lawsuit!!!

Qi Tao could completely pursue a criminal lawsuit afterwards!

By then...

In a criminal case victory, even a month... no, anything over twenty days would be considered inefficient and dilatory work by Sun Chuan and others!

Will it be difficult to fight?

How could it possibly be difficult!?

Even if Lawyer Xu presents such evidence, even if his opponent’s lawyer is the best in the country, the case would still win with overwhelming dominance!

It’s just that...

After Yang Ruoxi and Su Yu finished cheering.

They suddenly noticed something was off, quickly let go of each other, and pretended nothing had happened.

Yang Ruoxi looked at Xu Liang, her eyes sparkling like stars, and repeated.

"We won!"

The first trial was so stifling.

But the second trial was so satisfying!

The moment Yang Ruoxi saw Cheng Jia’s dazed expression, she couldn’t help but clench her fists and tremble.

"Yes, we won."

Xu Liang smiled slightly, his emotions not too shocked, as he quietly packed up his things, organized the clues, and prepared to hand them over to the police department.

Soon, the briefcase was packed.

Before leaving, Xu Liang glanced at the defendant Cheng Jia.

He scanned the opponent up and down, as if evaluating poultry, his eyes full of contempt, and then he snorted.

"Heh."

Then, he left directly.

Arrogant.

But he naturally had the confidence to be arrogant!

The trial was a winner-takes-all game, whether you accept it or not doesn’t matter, since you lost... you have to endure it!

"Da-da-da..."

The moment Xu Liang left the courtroom.

In the lobby, several police officers approached him, the leading man smiling and speaking:

"Lawyer Xu, how did it go inside?"

Xu Liang didn’t speak, just smiled and nodded.

This man was the captain of the criminal police unit in Qingshi City.

Since the civil case turned into a criminal one, naturally... it was time for the police to handle it!

"I’ll leave the follow-up to you." Xu Liang said.

Upon hearing this, the other party quickly replied:

"No trouble at all!"

With that, Xu Liang turned and left.

And inside the courtroom...

For a long time.

Ten minutes after Xu Liang left, Cheng Jia stumbled to her feet and slowly walked out.

Seeing her move.

The people in the spectator seats came to their senses, waking up from their shock, and an indescribable emotion attached to their hearts.

In an instant, people in the seats couldn’t help but start whispering, their noisy voices filling the scene.

"They won!?"

"The reason for the appeal was dismissed, the first-instance decision was retracted, this was what the plaintiff wanted! The plaintiff won!"

"The plaintiff won? Does that mean... the information submitted by the plaintiff was correct!"

"If that’s the case, then the truth of this case..."

At this point.

Everyone suddenly fell silent, but the shock in their eyes couldn’t be erased no matter what.

The fact that Xu Liang won only proved that the evidence he submitted was correct.

But his evidence completely challenged people’s worldview and understanding!

The kimchi factory is simply sinister... no, they are a group of heartless, conscienceless scoundrels dressed in human skin!

"It must be reported!"

Zhang Tao suddenly realized, looking at the colleagues beside him, his heart burning with excitement.

If this matter gets reported...

Just thinking about it, Zhang Tao felt a tingling sensation at the back of his head, his whole body filled with excitement.

He didn’t dare imagine how much public outcry it would cause!

Meanwhile, the people beside him hadn’t reacted yet.

"Quick!"

Zhang Tao immediately took action, got up quickly, and rushed towards the exit with Li Ye.

Along the way, he even ’accidentally’ bumped into the defendant Cheng Jia, almost causing her to collapse to the ground.

When Cheng Jia got up, the other party had already vanished before her eyes.

However, she did not curse at the person who bumped into her.

In fact, Cheng Jia wasn’t even aware that she had been bumped into!

She was in a daze, her mind a chaotic mess, stumbling forward purely by muscle memory like a walking corpse.

Until...

As she arrived in the lobby, the glaring light of the dusk stung her eyes, causing her physical discomfort.

Then, a familiar figure suddenly blocked the light and appeared before her.

"How did it go?!"

The person asked anxiously.

Hearing the urgency in the voice, Cheng Jia’s pupils abruptly dilated as she came back to her senses, blankly staring at the person in front of her.

It was Zhao Hailong standing before her.

He had been waiting in the lobby for a long time, his face filled with anxiety when he saw Cheng Jia.

"Has there been a recess?!"

Zhao Hailong asked impatiently.

He firmly believed that if Xu Liang brought out the evidence from the first trial, the second trial would be so fiercely contested that the judge would hesitate and call for a recess!

And as long as a recess was declared, they would have time to deal with the opposition.

Zhao Hailong wasn’t greedy; as long as they got through this ordeal, he swore he would never set foot in this line of work again, he would leave immediately and disappear far away.

Even if it meant living without money, even if...

"We lost." Cheng Jia suddenly spoke.

Zhao Hailong’s train of thought was interrupted, and his expression froze as he looked at Cheng Jia in disbelief.

Then he forced out a smile uglier than a cry, twitching his mouth.

"Are you... are you joking with me?"

Cheng Jia’s haggard face looked at Zhao Hailong.

From the beginning, the two of them were completely outclassed...

From the first trial...

No, from March 22 when the body was retrieved... that’s not right either.

Was it the business suspension on the 19th?

That doesn’t seem right either.

It was...

It was on March 18, when Xu Liang pushed open Qi Tao’s door, that the case reached an irretrievable state!

On the 19th, during the business suspension, the other party seized the opportunity. On the surface, it seemed like a suspension just to lull the two into letting down their guard, not noticing the other party was secretly investigating.

As a result, when Zhao Yue was judicially frozen, the two believed that Xu Liang left merely out of suspicion and didn’t pay much attention.

They had no idea that Zheng Shijie’s side had already been exposed!

It was because of this that Xu Liang retrieved the body smoothly.

Even...

During the first trial, it was like playing house while catching mice!

Did the other party really not have any evidence to have Liu Shennan rule the case in their favor during the first trial?

They did!

As long as the photos were presented, Liu Shennan would definitely declare a recess and cut ties with them.

And Xu Liang... was purely retaliating against the law firm’s actions!

"Lost... completely lost!"

Cheng Jia suddenly screeched.

That indescribable figure in her mind hovered like a nightmare, wrapping her in despair and suffocation.

"Lost what, tell me!"

Zhao Hailong’s eyes were bloodshot, gripping Cheng Jia’s shoulders tightly.

But Cheng Jia was in a stupor, her face devoid of its usual expression: "Heh, lost, lost..."

She murmured.

Zhao Hailong shook her for a long time, exhausting all his strength.

But unfortunately, Cheng Jia continued to giggle foolishly, then crouched down, completely devoid of rationality.

"It’s over..."

It was clear that her mental state, after a sleepless night, forcibly exhausting her energy, and suffering a massive blow, was... grim.

"Heh... I lost, I lost the case!" Cheng Jia chuckled, staring at the ceiling, unconcerned with her actions.

Zhao Hailong’s complexion suddenly turned ashen, utterly colorless.

He stumbled backward, retreating a few steps.

"Cheng Jia wasn’t immediately arrested, it only means the court’s decision was to dismiss the charges."

"In other words..."

Zhao Hailong’s heart was in turmoil as he immediately turned, eager to return to Jiang City during this time to see if there was any chance to turn the situation around.

But unfortunately...

The moment he turned around.

Several policemen in blue uniforms approached with expressionless faces and cold eyes.

"Heh, Lawyer Zhao, right? Please come with us."

Zhao Hailong’s expression changed, retreating step by step.

"There’s a misunderstanding about the case! A huge misunderstanding!"

"I need to ask Liu Shennan, give me ten minutes, I’ll make a call!"

But the policemen in front of him did not give him any chance, sneering:

"Liu Shennan?"

"Heh, there will naturally be others to question Liu Shennan."

Others?

Zhao Hailong’s pupils contracted.

"What do you mean?!"
