Xu Mingzhi laughed, as if she had expected this answer.
“I’ll handle the confidential work on the day of the court appearance.”
**
Two days later, Friday.
The Su family and the Xu family wanted to settle this as soon as possible, so they set the court date on this day.
There was still half an hour before the court session, and Zhang Guihua’s car arrived.
Since this matter concerned their mother’s reputation, Su Qianrou and Su Junye also came. Both of their faces were wrapped in gauze, so they looked even more like twins.
Outside the court, Zhang Guihua did not see anyone from Su Ji’s side.
She laughed scornfully. “Rou’er, take your brother and find a place to sit. I’ll talk to the lawyer.”
“Grandma, you must save mom.”
Su Junye continued, “yes, Su Ji wasn’t harmed. Why should mom be punished?”
Zhang Guihua said, “what a joke to bring such a small matter to court. Don’t worry, I got a new lawyer. He’s the best lawyer in the country. He’ll definitely be able to get your mother out of jail.”
Su Qianrou and Su Junye were relieved to hear this.
Zhang Guihua had hired a middle-aged lawyer with the surname Fan. He wore a pair of rimmed glasses and looked very aggressive.
When he saw Su Qianrou and Su Junye’s faces, he didn’t even laugh.
What a cold person.
Zhang Guihua saw that Aunt Cui was looking around for someone, so she reminded her, “don’t say that kind of nonsense again! You’re just trying to scare us!”
She started to mumble about Su Ji again.
Aunt Cui nodded. Zhang Guihua rolled her eyes and said, “don’t worry. That girl won’t dare to come. If she sued her mother, she would be struck by lightning…”
Before she could finish, she saw Mr. Fan walked over and greeted him kindly. “Mr Fan, I’m really sorry to trouble you to personally handle such a small case.”
He said calmly, “I often see cases like Ms. Ning’s, so don’t worry, Mrs. Zhang.”
He was a legal counsel for many rich families, and this kind of thing happened often.
Zhang Guihua said, “I’m not worried at all. Besides, the Xu family hired a lawyer who isn’t even famous.”
They didn’t know who their lawyer was.
It was obvious the person was not famous.
Mr. Fan typed on his phone with one hand and sneered, “as you said, Ms. Ning will be fine…”
However, before he could finish his sentence, the noisy corridor of the court suddenly fell silent.
Everyone looked in that direction.
At the main entrance, an officer opened the door. A young man walked in, followed by another person.
He took the documents from the person behind him and raised his head. He walked to the door of the court and stopped in front of Zhang Guihua and Mr. fan. He smiled casually and said, “I’m the plaintiff’s lawyer. I’m not late, am I?”
Everyone became silent.
The young man had a smile on his face and looked casual. His every move was calm and unpredictable. He didn’t look like a lawyer, but more like a celebrity pretending to be a lawyer.
He didn’t have the aggressive aura that Mr. Fan had.
However, it was such a person who made Mr. Fan, who was so confident of winning just a moment ago, feel the veins on his forehead throb.
The man in front of him was actually the great lawyer Bian Tong!
Mr. Fan seemed to be angry as he questioned Zhang Guihua. “Old Madam Zhang, is he the lawyer you said you didn’t know?”
Zhang Guihua had been to the detention center a few times before and had not seen his face clearly. “I think so.”
“You think so? Do you know who he is?”
If he had known that it was the fearsome Bian Tong who was going to fight against them, no matter how much money it was, he would never have accepted this case!
The number of lawsuits that Bian Tong was involved could be counted on two hands.
However, every major case that was supposed to be a dead end was turned around because of him.
He was definitely skilled.
Many large companies and corporations wanted to hire him as their legal consultant.
They were all rejected.
Mr. Fan was only hired because of that.
It was said that being a lawyer was only one of Bian Tong’s jobs, and his whereabouts were a mystery.
Mr. Fan’s legs were weak and his palms were sweaty.
It had been a few years since Bian Tong had fought a case.
How did they manage to convince him?!
Zhang Guihua was suspicious when she saw Mr. Fan trembling.
The people present were either shocked or confused, and no one dared to answer Bian Tong’s question.
Bian Tong lowered his head and glanced at the watch on his wrist. He laughed casually. “10 o’clock. Just on time.”
Seeing the door open, Zhang Guihua was stunned again.
The seats on the plaintiff’s side were already full, not a single empty seat was left.
So it wasn’t that no one from Su Ji’s side attended, but that they were already seated.
On the other hand, Ning Lihua’s side only had her, Aunt Cui, Su Qianrou and Su Junye.
Even her son, Su Cunyi, was sitting opposite.
Zhang Guihua was so angry that she didn’t bother to look at the crowd on the other side.
With the help of Aunt Cui, they sat down.
The court fell silent.
“Bring the accused to court.”
As soon as the authoritative voice sounded, two law enforcement officers brought Ning Lihua out.
Ning Lihua was dressed in a gray prison uniform, her hair draped over her shoulders. She looked extremely pitiful.
As soon as she entered the designated area, she turned to look for Zhang Guihua and the others.
Su Qianrou’s expression was exaggerated “Mom! How did you lose so much weight?”
“Mom!” Su Junye echoed.
“Silence!” They had made too much noise, and the judge knocked on the gavel twice.
“May the plaintiff please enter the court.”
As soon as he finished speaking, two men in suits and hats stood up in the first row. They had long legs and excellent body proportions.
The judge lowered his head to look at them.
He thought the plaintiffs were women.
He pushed up his presbyopic glasses, his eyes darting between the two men for a moment. “Which one is Su Ji?”
The “man” on the left took off his hat, revealing his stunningly beautiful face.
“I am,” Su Ji replied.
The judge choked and asked again, “then Ms. Xu Mingzhi…”
This time, the “man” on the right took off his hat, looked up, and smiled. “That’s me.”
Xu Mingzhi had done a good job keeping it a secret, but the journey to the court was still dangerous.
In order to be safe, the mother and daughter did what they did before…
At this moment, two women in formal attire were standing side by side, exuding an extremely powerful aura. Even their height was about the same.
