Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Qin Yaoguang suddenly opened her eyes. She almost jumped out of the dock when she noticed Gu Nianzhi’s familiar expression.

“Y-You… Get the hell away from me!” Qin yaoguang tried to dodge as if she didn’t know Gu Nianzhi.

In response, he raised an eyebrow and slowly straightened her back. She smiled and said, “You want to pretend to be mentally ill? Miss Qin Yaoguang, don’t you think it’s too late to pretend now?”

The lead lawyer of the legal team next to Qin yaoguang gave her a gentle kick.

When Qin Yaoguang snapped back to her senses, she realized that she had lost her composure just now.

She clasped her hands under the dock and sat back down.. Her eyes were tightly shut and her lips were pursed. She regained her silent expression.

Qin Yaoguang’s lead lawyer heaved a sigh of relief as he looked up at Gu Nianzhi and said loudly, “Objection! The plaintiff’s lawyer has used his imagination to humiliate and threaten my client. This has caused tremendous psychological pressure on my client!”

Gu Nianzhi smiled and turned to look at the judge and the judges in the courtroom to see what they had to say.

The three of them exchanged a few words in the courtroom and said to Gu Nianzhi, “Plaintiff’s lawyer, please watch your words and don’t stray too far from the topic.”

They did not say that she should not say such things about Qin Yaoguang, but they also did not encourage her to continue.

This was a slap in the face.

Gu Nianzhi nodded. “Thank you.”

She turned to Qin Yaoguang and spoke quickly, “Ms. Qin Yaoguang, may I ask why you ordered Wen Dayou and Liang Meili to help you kidnap the 12-year-old Gu Nianzhi eight years ago?”

“Gu Nianzhi is your biological daughter. Why did you leave her in the He family for six years?”

“Six years later, why did you kidnap her and take her away from the He Family?”

Gu Nianzhi’s tone was very different from her usual tone when she asked these questions.

Only three people present could tell that Gu Nianzhi was trying to imitate Qin Suwen’s tone and speed of speech.

These three figures were Lu Jin, he chengjian, and he zhichu. Oh, and perhaps the fourth person was Qin Yaoguang, whose emotions were once again on the verge of breaking down because of Gu Nianzhi’s tone and speed of speech.

“Shut up! You’re my daughter! Do I need you to agree to what I’m going to do? !”Qin Yaoguang opened her eyes abruptly and screamed hysterically.

When Gu Nianzhi asked the question, she treated herself as a completely different person and kept calling her “Gu Nianzhi”. Not only did she give others the wrong impression, but she also had a sense of calmness and sharpness as if she was detached from the matter.

She successfully forced Qin Yaoguang to break her technique again. Gu Nianzhi quickly waited for Qin’s lawyer to react, she continued to ask, “You ordered Wen Dayou and Liang Meili to violently kidnap Gu Nianzhi on her birthday and take her to the airport in an attempt to smuggle her out of the country, didn’t you?!”

Qin Yaoguang was about to shout when Wen Shouyi’s voice pierced through her like a sharp thorn.

She shouted, “Aunt Qin! Calm down! This is a court of Law! You’re facing Gu Nianzhi! The judge will definitely give us justice!”

Wen Shouyi’s shout managed to pull Qin yaoguang back from the brink of insanity.

Qin Yaoguang’s eyes widened as she looked at Gu Nianzhi. Her eyes were almost bloodshot.

At the moment, the lead lawyer beside her, lawyer Qin, recovered from his shock and said to the judge again, “My client is in an emotional state. We’d like to request a ten-minute recess.”

The judge looked at Qin Yaoguang, who looked like she was about to collapse. He called the healthcare doctor prepared by the court to examine Qin Yaoguang.

Qin Yaoguang’s blood pressure and heartbeat were unusually fast. She was also sweating profusely on her back, as if her mood had been greatly affected.

The Healthcare doctor nodded at the judge. “It’s best for the defendant to take a 10-minute break to see what happens next.”

The judge tapped his gavel. “The court will adjourn for ten minutes.”

As soon as the judge said that the court would adjourn, Qin Yaoguang was quickly led out of the court by the Bailiff to the lounge next door to get some oxygen.

Her lead lawyer followed her in and stayed by her side.

Liang Meili looked at Wen Shouyi, who was sitting on the witness stand on the other side. The Love in her eyes was about to spill out.

“Wow, Shouyi, you’ve lost weight…”

Before she could finish her sentence, she was taken away by the bailiff.

When Wen Dayou walked past Wen Shouyi, he stopped in his tracks. He looked at Wen Shouyi, his eyes gradually filled with confusion. “Shouyi? What happened to your face?”

“Nothing. I went to the south for a beauty treatment,” Wen Shouyi said calmly. “Dad, you have to take care of Mom. I see that she’s Haggard.”

“Okay.” Wen Dayou nodded nonchalantly. “You have to take care of yourself.”

He gestured with his eyes to reassure Wen Shouyi.

Wen Shouyi heaved a sigh of relief. She watched as Wen Dayou and Liang Meili disappeared through the main entrance of the courtroom.

She wasn’t allowed to move around freely either. A policewoman had been watching her from the side.

Gu Nianzhi didn’t go out. She sat alone at the plaintiff’s table, took out a bottle of ice-cold milk, and took a sip.

She was actually very excited and nervous, and the milk had a calming effect. She needed to drink some milk to calm herself down.

Although she had only asked a few questions, to her, it had been like a tsunami.

It could be said that Qin Yaoguang’s reaction had completely exceeded her expectations.

She knew that Qin Yaoguang definitely had a knot in her heart with Qin Suwen, but she had not expected it to be so big..

Her reaction was too strong.

Was there really no other inside story?

He Chengjian sat in the gallery and watched Gu Nianzhi’s back without moving. He was immersed in the memories of the past, and the expression on his face was sweet and sad.

He Zhichu did not look at Gu Nianzhi. He supported his head with one hand and sat on the seat by the aisle, cold and distant.

Xie Qingying’s gaze never left He Zhichu.

Whether she looked up, down, or sideways, she could not take her eyes off He Zhichu.

However, He Zhichu did not speak. She also sat quietly on the side and did not speak. She just quietly accompanied him.

Lu Jin and Huo Shaoheng sat in the corner of the gallery. They were blocked by the Qin family and tried to minimize their presence.

Lu Jin whispered to Huo Shaoheng, “Nianzhi also has a talent for acting.”

The character she was playing today was called “Qin Suwen”.

It could be said that she was very lifelike.

…

In the waiting room next to the court, Lawyer Qin anxiously said to Qin Yaoguang, “Director Qin, you can’t do this. If you’re emotionally unstable, we can request a psychiatric evaluation and then take a short break.”

“In your current state, you won’t be able to face the opposing lawyer’s interrogation at all. She can make you say the wrong thing at any time and confess without beating yourself up!”

Lawyer Qin was also very worried about Qin Yaoguang’s condition. In fact, Gu Nianzhi didn’t seem to have asked any extraordinary questions, but why was Qin Yaoguang reacting so strongly?

“Director Qin… Cousin, is there something you want to tell me?” Lawyer Qin was now alone with Qin Yaoguang; this was his right as a lawyer.

He was now worried that Qin Yaoguang was hiding something from him. This would put him in a disadvantageous position in court.

Qin Yaoguang sat beside him and breathed in oxygen.

Sufficient oxygen entered her blood and was carried to all parts of her body, especially her brain.

Qin Yaoguang’s mood finally stabilized.

Of course, she knew that the main reason was not the oxygen, but the fact that she no longer needed to see Gu Nianzhi’s black Louis Vuitton custom-made professional dress, which she hated the moment she saw it.

Gradually, her rationality returned to her, and her brain was able to think correctly.

Qin yaoguang unplugged the oxygen inhaler and said lightly, “Gu Nianzhi scared me just now by pretending to be a ghost. I’m fine now, I won’t be scared by her again.”

“Really?” Lawyer Qin looked at her suspiciously, “But lawyer Gu didn’t do anything out of the ordinary?”

How was she pretending to be a ghost?

He didn’t see it at all.

“You don’t understand.” Qin Yaoguang shook her head lightly. “But she can only use the same strategy once. If she uses it again, it won’t be so effective.”

Qin Yaoguang sneered and said, “Anyway, I’ll deny everything later. There’s no witness and no physical evidence. I’ll see how she can testify against me.”

“OK, good to know that.” Lawyer Qin wiped the sweat on his forehead with a grayish-blue handkerchief and tidied up the few strands of hair on his head, he said, “Then we’ll go to court later. Just deny her question and be careful not to fall into her trap.”

“Yes, I understand.” Qin yaoguang was still very calm and composed when she was not threatened by Qin Suwen’s shadow.

…

Ten minutes later, the court was once again in session.

This time, Gu Nianzhi made it clear that she would let the opposing lawyer ask the question first.

Lawyer Qin did not expect Gu Nianzhi to stop pursuing Qin Yaoguang, and his heart relaxed.

He stood up with the information he had prepared beforehand and gracefully bowed to everyone in the court. He first went up to Wen Shouyi and said, “Ms. Wen Shouyi, please introduce yourself.”

Wen Shouyi nodded calmly, her voice was steady and gentle. “My name is Wen Shouyi. I’m a graduate law student from Harvard Law School in the United States. I’m a lawyer from the United States and China. I was once in the military and was major general he zhichu’s personal secretary. “After I retired from the military, I transferred to another profession. Now, I am the Executive Director of the Qin’s Private Hospital Group.”

When she mentioned her long list of titles, it seemed that her credibility had increased.

The smile on lawyer Qin’s face widened. “So, Ms. Wen Shouyi is such an outstanding professional woman. Then, please tell me, what is my client’s character like?”

“Director Qin is a very competent brain surgeon and biological genetic engineering scientist. She has saved countless people and has many patents and inventions. “The concept of ‘gene editing’ that she came up with twenty years ago almost altered the course of the development of genetic engineering internationally

“I can’t believe that such a great scientist, a scientist who has made outstanding contributions to the evolution of the entire human race, would do such a thing.”

Upon hearing the words, Wen Shouyi spoke with assurance, “To say the least, with her IQ and status, if she really wanted to do it, she had 10,000 ways to take Gu Nianzhi away without leaving a trace, that is, the lawyer Gu Nianzhi was when she was young

“What’s more, she directly suggested to the He family that she take her daughter away. Well, if you don’t believe me, you can ask the two influential figures of the He family who are here today to see if they will stop director Qin from taking her own daughter away from their home.”

“Director Qin could have done it legally and openly, so why would she want to do it? It’s completely illogical.”

“From what I’ve said above, I don’t think she would do anything that the plaintiff would accuse her of, regardless of Dean Qin’s character, ability, or position.”

Wen Shouyi was Qin Yaoguang’s character witness.

She had used her profession and position to endorse Qin Yaoguang’s character, so it was quite convincing.

The judge nodded repeatedly.

Qin Yaoguang perked up and nodded at Wen Shouyi with a smile.

Lawyer Qin came to Gu Nianzhi’s plaintiff’s table again and asked gently, “Lawyer Gu, do you still remember when you were twelve?”

This question was very sharp.

If Gu Nianzhi said “I remember”, she was lying.

If she said “I don’t remember”, then she had been lying before.

However, she had been prepared for this question ever since Gu Nianzhi had accused Wen Dayou and Liang Meili of kidnapping her.

Therefore, she answered calmly, “That depends on what you’re asking. “I’m 20 years old this year. If you ask me what I saw, what I wore, and what I ate on a certain day when I was 12 years old, that is, eight years ago, I definitely can’t give you any answers.”

Before lawyer Qin responded, Gu Nianzhi quickly said, “If I ask lawyer Qin what kind of file you saw on a certain day eight years ago, do you remember?”

Lawyer Qin’s lips twitched and he said coldly, “Lawyer Gu, as long as you answer yes or no, there’s no need to say so much.”

“I’m sorry, your question is too broad. You Can’t just answer it by remembering or not remembering.” Gu Nianzhi insisted on her own opinion, not giving the opposing lawyer a chance to take advantage of her.

Lawyer Qin looked down at the documents and had no choice but to change the specific question. “Then may I ask you, do you still remember who took you away from the He family eight years ago?”

“I do,” Gu Nianzhi said lightly. “It was the he family’s gardener, Wen Dayou and Liang Meili.”

“How do you remember that?” Lawyer Qin asked sarcastically.

“Because this matter is very serious, so serious that it cast a huge shadow over my youth. Lawyer Qin, believe me, if you had been kidnapped when you were twelve, you would also remember the people who kidnapped you.”

Lawyer Qin remained silent.

He was speechless and had no choice but to continue, “Are they in court?”

“Yes.”

“Then why did you ask them to be witnesses in court?”

“Because they were only the executioners of the kidnapping plan. Someone else was in charge of formulating the kidnapping plan.” Gu Nianzhi glanced over at Qin yaoguang. Everyone could tell that she meant that Qin Yaoguang had ordered them to do it.

“But they denied that my client was behind the kidnapping plan.” Lawyer Qin propped up his gold-rimmed spectacles on the bridge of his nose with his hand. “Lawyer Gu, are you trying to frame me, beat me into a confession, or are you trying to mislead everyone?”

Gu Nianzhi grinned and stood up. “Are you done asking?”

Bewildered, Lawyer Qin replied, “You haven’t answered my question.”

“My answer is that I didn’t frame anyone, nor did I beat them into a confession, nor did I mislead anyone. I’m just speaking from the facts.”Gu Nianzhi stood up with a DNA test report in her hand, she said to the judge in the courtroom, “Your honor, may i question Wen Dayou and Liang Meili Now?”
