A year later.

"That night, I was working overtime alone in the office when the manager suddenly walked in and asked me if I wanted to earn some overtime pay, and unbuttoned my shirt and leaned over..."

Columbia Law School.

Moot court.

This is a weekly moot court competition held by the college, in which the dean himself plays the role of the judge, and the lawyer, jury, plaintiff and defendant are played by law students.

All the professors of the college will come to watch the game, and although it is only a mock court, the performance of students in it will directly affect their grades and even their degrees.

The subject of today's moot court is that of an employee of a company suing her boss for misconduct at the company.

Playing the plaintiff's lawyer is Virginia. Potze, also known as Pepper, is now Leon's official girlfriend.

Playing the role of the defendant's lawyer is Justin. Hammer, the only son of Chairman of Hammer Advanced Industries.

26 years old this year, just finished studying for a doctorate in business school, and then came to law school to study for a doctorate in law, and is planning to use this moot court to fight for power!

And Leon...

He sat in the audience and watched the fight.

Since winning 18 moot court games in a row, the dean has banned him from playing again.

Otherwise, no one else can play at all.

If it weren't for the fact that his girlfriend played the plaintiff's lawyer, Li Ang would not have come directly.

"Since that night, I've had nightmares every day, and when I close my eyes, my boss is pressing on me..."

The female classmate who played the plaintiff sat on the inquiry table and tearfully told the imaginary experience that could not be recalled.

Her name is Sharon. Carter, who is in the same class and dormitory as Pepper, has a good relationship.

Sharon's acting skills are online, and she vividly interprets the pain of being violated by her boss, but the audience knows that she is acting, and many people still laugh.

Li Ang took the lead in applauding, but was stared at fiercely by Little Pepper before stopping.

"Silence, silence!"

The dean, who played the role of the judge, was also holding back a smile and hammering, "Plaintiff, please restrain a little, plaintiff lawyer, do you have anything else to ask?" ”

"Nope." Before Pepper returned to her seat, she leaned next to Sharon and whispered, "Hey, hey, you're too deep into the play." ”

Sharon rolled her eyes: "This kind of lawsuit is to play the emotional card, besides, I'm giving you a demonstration, didn't you say that Li Ang said that you weren't committed enough when you played role-playing with Leon last time..."

Before Sharon could finish speaking, Pepper hurried away.

The dean continued: "Lawyer for the defendant, do you have any questions to ask?" ”

"Yes!"

Justin sorted out his tie, stepped forward, and said to Sharon: "Sharon, you said that my client harassed you, may I ask, is there any evidence?" ”

Seeing Justin's puffy face, Sharon lost even interest in acting, and said lightly: "No, I was knocked down before I could record with my mobile phone." ”

"Since there is no audio recording, and there is no relevant surveillance footage, how do you prove that what you say is true?"

"Well, I really don't have any proof of it."

These are all settings that the dean made for Sharon, the victim, and Sharon can only follow the script.

Justin sneered, "Ha, then I can also say that you tied me to my house last night and used a toilet brush to cause an indelible psychological shadow on me." ”

Another burst of laughter.

"Also, you just said that my client was going to give you that night... What is overtime pay? ”

"Yes."

"Did he give it later?"

"Nope."

"Do you think... What does this mean? ”

"It means that he is slamming the door."

"No, it means that you made it all up, you are just dissatisfied with the company and your boss, so you made up a set of disgusting lies, trying to make up a pen for mental damage, and by the way, send your annoying boss to prison, I, I will definitely not let you succeed!"

When Justin said this, he was actually staring at Leon in the audience.

Leon, your time has passed, and from this one, Lao Tzu wants to create a new winning streak!

Justin couldn't wait to eat Leon, but Leon didn't take Justin seriously at all.

Let's finish the show, I'm hungry.

"You, how can you say that about me." Sharon pretended to be aggrieved, "I've been hurt so much, and I'm still sitting here listening to you slander... Really... Really..."

Seeing that Pepper didn't move, Leon quickly kicked her stool from behind.

It's time to protest.

"Against!" Pepper came back to her senses and immediately stood up and protested to the dean, "The defendant's lawyer is using subjective speculation to slander my client!" ”

"The opposition is valid." The dean said to Justin, "Lawyer for the defendant, if you don't have evidence, please don't talk nonsense in court. ”

"Okay, I'm done asking too." Justin walked back to his seat with a victorious look.

The dean looked at his watch: "It's lunch time, rest for twenty minutes, and then the trial continues." ”

Let's hit the hammer.

"The dean is mighty!" Li Ang gave a thumbs up to the dean on the judge's bench, "It seems that administering justice for vulnerable women can't resist the temptation of lunch." ”

"Come less." The dean obviously liked Li Ang very much, and didn't mind him making fun of himself at all, and after taking off his judge's uniform, he went to the office for lunch.

Leon sat down next to Pepper, and Sharon came over.

"What's for lunch?"

Pepper rolled her eyes and pulled out three sandwiches and three cans of energy drinks from her bag.

"Huh? I'm so wronged to be a victim, so you invite me to eat this? Sharon said disgustedly.

"It's not like we haven't won yet." Little Pepper smiled, "When you win the lawsuit, I'll invite you to a big meal." ”

"I want it too~" Li Ang immediately interjected.

"Got it, got it."

The three of them ate on the spot in the plaintiff's seat.

"How's I doing?" Pepper asked Leon nervously,

"Pretty good, this kind of case without any evidence, the only chance of winning is to play the vulnerable group card and make the jury sympathize with Sharon."

Leo munched on his sandwich, "Sharon is doing well, you see, there are a few girls on the jury who are still looking at you, I must be sympathetic." ”

"Come less, they're watching you." Pepper didn't have a good aura for Leon.

Indeed, several girls who played the jury were looking at Leon openly and secretly.

Pepper hurriedly hugged Li Ang over, and raised her eyebrows at the girls who peeked at Li Ang from the jury in a demonstrative manner.

Envy it, this handsome guy is mine!

Then, he tore off half of the sandwich in his hand and fed it to Leon.

"Huh~ real dog." Sharon disliked the two of them, and said, "Anyway, you're too optimistic, without any evidence, even if those juries are sympathetic, they won't judge us to win." ”

"Who said there wasn't any evidence?" Pepper smiled mysteriously, "The dean actually set up a hidden eyewitness, and whether or not we can find her in time is the real test for the dean to us." ”

Sharon's eyes widened, but Leon was not surprised.

"Why didn't I know about this?" Sharon asked.

Pepper lowered her voice: "You are the plaintiff, just be responsible for crying, and it is my job as a plaintiff's lawyer to find witnesses." ”

"Did you find her, then?"

"Of course, Sitwell, who was in the same class as us, is sitting in the far corner of the audience."

Pepper pointed behind her, and Sharon looked in that direction and saw a bald man with glasses sitting in the corner.

That appearance, how to put it, is quite suitable for playing all kinds of white trash.

Pepper continued: "The dean asked Sitwell to play a cleaner in the company, he saw the whole process of your boss being violated, I have found him from the clues left by the dean, and persuaded him to testify in court." ”

Sharon pouted: "... Please be sure to explain that it was in the dean's setting that I was violated by my boss. ”

"Whatever, anyway, as soon as the court starts, I will summon Sitwell, with his testimony, this lawsuit will be won!"

"Well, alas, he won't come." Li Ang, who had not spoken, said suddenly.

He thinks he still has to remind Pepper.

Xiao Pepper was slightly stunned: "What did you say?" ”

"I said Sitwell had been bribed by Justin and that he would refuse to appear in court when you summoned him."

Pepper was stunned for a moment before asking Leon, "How do you know?"

Li Ang shrugged: "I don't know about this, how can I win 18 moot court games in a row?" ”

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

"Didn't you say you had to win this game on your own?"

"Uh..."

"Don't do it, the court is going to be held soon, do you want me to help?"
