Chapter 257: A Desperate Shot

"I'm sorry, Ruolin, don't say that again, I can't lose you." Before I finished my words, Qiao Nancheng looked at me with a painful expression.

"I didn't mean to, trust me, there's nothing more uncomfortable for me than losing you, I just can't control myself, you know? That picture just now has been in my mind, why can't I get rid of it? Qiao Nancheng looked at me with a painful face. Promise me not to be alone with him anymore, okay? ”

After hearing these words, my heart, which was already hard, finally softened.

He just cared too much about me, I sighed and thought to myself.

As much as I hated my current feelings, there was no doubt that I had once again compromised.

He nodded slightly. "Then you promised me that I wouldn't be able to say that again." I looked up at Qiao Nancheng fixedly, thinking that as long as he had the slightest hesitation, I would immediately turn around and leave without hesitation.

"I promise you." As expected, he nodded very firmly. The heart I had chosen for a moment slowly let go. "So be it." I told myself not to think about so many things.

It was getting closer and closer to Secretary Li's court date, and although Qiao Nancheng told me not to go over and just wait for the verdict at home, I still didn't hold back and went to the scene.

Because I was the one who started this incident, many people have already told me that they will look at me when the time comes, and I don't know when, I have become the backbone of that group of people, and if I don't go at such a time, those people will have no idea.

"Defendant Li, do you have anything else to say about the facts of your crime?" In the solemn courtroom, the judge asked in a serious voice.

"What sin? When did I sin? Explain it to me. Who knew that Secretary Li did not admit it, but said it head-on.

"I have something to say on behalf of the defendant." As people looked at each other, Secretary Li's lawyer raised his hand.

With the judge's permission, the lawyer coughed and flipped through the documents in his hand.

"That's right, I was entrusted by the defendant to be his defender, and I still have something to say for my client, please see this document in my hand." As he spoke, he took out what he had in his hand, and someone took the document and handed it to the judge.

"I think everyone has also seen that my client searched and arrested the plaintiff in accordance with the law when he received an anonymous report, and the law is proper and the procedures are safe, I don't know what my defendant's guilt is." The lawyer said word for word, "As for the others down there. There is also the original name report letter received by the court before, which I think is even more nonsense. ”

The defendant's lawyer said as the judge flipped through the documents in his hand.

I suddenly felt a bad feeling in my heart.

"These clients were all entrusted by my client and had helped them. I don't know what my client is doing wrong in this regard. The lawyer can be said to be arguing on the basis of reason, "I still have the thank-you letters written by the original people, I don't know if these can be counted as evidence." ”

As he spoke, the lawyer used him to pull out another stack of documents and respectfully handed them over.

Under the astonished gaze of the people, the lawyer handed over another document.

Things seemed to be out of my control, and I looked at the attorney and knew that the situation was very bad for us.

"Okay, I admit that my client did a bit too much in some things, but I think that nitpicking in the work is precisely the conscientiousness and responsibility for the work, and my client is also in line with the principle of preferring to kill a thousand by mistake rather than let go of one." The lawyer's face was serious.

The judges discussed something with each other after reading the papers, then looked up, and the man sitting on the far left nodded to the officer next to him.

The officer immediately placed a stack of blank papers on the plaintiff's bench and handed out one to each of them.

The judge coughed, "Please write something on a piece of paper so that it will be easier for us to judge." ”

People you look at me, I look at you and don't know what's going on.

Everyone's eyes focused on me, "Ahem, don't be afraid, don't be afraid if those thank you letters weren't written by you, just write them now, just use your usual notes." ”

After listening to my words, people slowly reassured and began to write on paper.

"Miss Shen, why don't you write?" The judge looked at me sitting there and asked curiously.

"And my business?" I was a little surprised.

Who knew that the judge nodded as a matter of course, "This matter has something to do with everyone sitting here, I hope you can cooperate." ”

I could only nod my head when they said this, and began to write on the paper.

After handing over the written text, the court announced a temporary adjournment, and I walked up to the lawyer, "You said, this matter," I looked solemn.

"Don't be nervous," the lawyer smiled at me, "they don't dare to give false testimony in court, otherwise you must know that the consequences are worse than a crime." ”

I breathed a sigh of relief when I heard this, just in case I found those people, "You haven't written any guarantees before, have you?" ”

Those who came to testify all shook like a rattle, "How could it be, we all hated him at that time, how could we write any thank-you letters." ”

But one of them had a solemn expression, "But at that time, he used some excuse as if he asked me to write something with my name on it, will it be ......?"

"It's very likely," I didn't speak, and the lawyer next to me spoke, "You must know that this Secretary Li is very cunning, and his background is extremely powerful, if we can't find definite evidence, it's very likely,"

When he wanted to say something more, the court directly announced that the trial would continue.

"After our organization's identification, it was found that those names were indeed signed by the parties, and we have reason to suspect that the defendant's practice at that time was inconsistent with the plaintiff's."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Turning his head to look at our lawyer, he sat there with a frown.

"That's all for this verdict. If no evidence can be found, the accused will also be released in seven days. With the last words, the judge raised the verdict and was about to smash it when the door to the courtroom was pushed open.

"Wait a minute." As is often the case in TV dramas, someone stopped the verdict, "I have something to say." ”

Everyone looked over and found that it was Ye Yao who pushed Lu Yan in.

I was puzzled for a while, who knew that Lu Yan didn't look at me, and stared at the judge with advanced eyes.

The scene was noisy, everyone was talking about it, who was the person who suddenly broke in, and some people who knew understood the truth at once.

The judge could only nod his head.

I saw that Lu Yan did not go towards the judge, but pushed the wheelchair to Secretary Li's side.

The corners of Secretary Li's eyes began to rise, and he even reached the most proud when Lu Yan came in.

"Don't worry, it's all done." He whispered to Lu Yan, who knew that Lu Yan didn't pay attention to it, but gently leaned in his ear.

In less than a minute, Secretary Li's face changed unpredictably, and the last face was shocked.

His face turned crimson. "You threaten me?"

It wasn't loud, but I could hear it clearly.

"I've already told you how powerful things are, it's up to you how you choose." Who knew that Lu Luyan's face was inevitable, he gently patted Secretary Li's shoulder and said, and then sat on the side with a lot of time.

"Judge, I have something to show you here." Ye Yao was not idle, and walked directly to the judge to present the materials.

"Wait a minute." Secretary Li interrupted Ye Yao's movements. "I have something to say."

Then he unexpectedly confessed everything he had done, including his ill-intentioned attitude towards me, and all the other people.

The judge who tried his best to defend him had a very bad face, but he could only endure it in public.

In the end, Secretary Li was sentenced to 10 years in prison and fined 2 million yuan for various crimes such as corruption and bribery. Although this result is still far from what I imagined, it is much better than what I just had.

When I walked out of the judgment room, I glanced at Ye Yao with a grateful gaze.

Ye Yao shook his head and moved Lu Yan who was in a wheelchair with his mouth, indicating to me that this is all Lu Yan's credit.

I smiled noncommittally, how could I not know? It's just such a situation, how can I say thank you?

"You don't have to thank me." I don't know when Lu Yan walked up to my side and said softly. "The previous events had something to do with me, although I couldn't get used to being abducted like that later, so I finally did a good thing for myself." Lu Yan looked noncommittal.

Then his expression changed, "But don't worry, I won't give up on you." He looked imminent. And then turn around and look for something? "Qiao Nancheng didn't come with you?"

Looking at his smug face, the gratitude just now suddenly disappeared without a trace, and I rolled my eyes in my heart. "He has something to do for me to come over first, and he said he will pick me up right away." As I spoke, I deliberately pulled out my phone. "See, he's here."

Without waiting for him to speak, I left the courthouse door in a puff of smoke.

In fact, I lied just now, Qiao Nancheng didn't know that I was coming, and he didn't even want me to continue to get involved in this matter. But in front of Lu Yan, I don't know why I always want to save face.

A few hundred meters out of the courthouse, I turned into a small road, and only then did I breathe a long sigh of relief.
