You get married, I hijack the marriage

Chapter 1012 Caught Her Off Guard
As the second court session drew closer, Ji Jinchuan called Zhou Xianglun into his office.

"I must have custody of Nuonuo."

It takes a thousand days to train an army and only a moment to deploy it. Zhou Xianglun naturally understood this principle, but his opponent was Michael, which made him somewhat unprepared.

"I will try my best."

Ji Jinchuan sat in a big chair, wearing a white shirt, a burgundy tie, and his face was cold and dull.

"What I want is not that you try your best, but that I win in the end."

Zhou Xianglun couldn't assure him: "This..."

Ji Jinchuan said indifferently: "Other measures can be taken when necessary."

Zhou Xianglun instantly understood what he meant: "Yes."

On the night before the trial, Zhou Xianglun asked Michael to have dinner with him. Zhou Xianglun ordered the strongest liquor, got Michael drunk, and then sent him back to the hotel.

After that, he called Xiao Cheng, and not long after, Xiao Chen came with a woman.

Zhou Xianglun glanced at the woman with long hair and big eyes, and then he withdrew his gaze calmly: "When Michael wakes up tomorrow, we may not even be friends anymore."

Xiao Cheng smiled and said, "Then let's be enemies. Having a powerful opponent will make you stronger."

Zhou Xianglun walked to the side with a worried look on his face.

Xiao Cheng brought the woman into the room. The woman understood and stepped forward, stripped off Michael's clothes, then stripped herself naked and got into bed.

The next day, Gu Jinchen and Shen Youran had breakfast and went to the court. When they got out of the car, a black Maybach stopped beside them.

Zhou Xianglun got out of the passenger seat, opened the back door, and Ji Jinchuan got out of the car.

Bodyguards came from nowhere and stopped the reporters. They kept taking pictures of Shen Youran and Ji Jinchuan with their cameras, and the flashes were clicking. When their eyes met, Shen Youran suppressed her emotions and turned away calmly.

Ji Jinchuan lowered his eyes, straightened his suit jacket, and walked up the stairs, with Zhou Xianglun following behind him.

Shen Youran stood there without moving, her drooping eyelashes hiding the emotions in her eyes.

Gu Jinchen looked at her and said, "Let's go in too."

Shen Youran said "hmm" warmly, and the two of them went up the stairs.

The court session was scheduled to begin at ten o'clock, but Michael didn't show up after nine o'clock. Gu Jinchen made several phone calls but no one answered. He was filled with anxiety.

At ten o'clock, the plaintiff and the defendant were invited to the stage, and the judge came out from the back and took his seat. However, the defense lawyer's seat next to Shen Youran was empty.

The judge asked: "Plaintiff, where is your defense lawyer?"

Shen Youran looked at Gu Jinchen in the audience. Gu Jinchen called Michael again, but still no one answered the phone.

She didn't say anything. The judge asked again. She said calmly, "Your Honor, can you wait a moment? He may... already be on his way."

In the dock, Ji Jinchuan sat indifferently, stroking the dial with his right index finger, again and again, as if he was calculating the time.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the judge lost his patience and asked, "Plaintiff, when will your lawyer arrive?"

Shen Youran couldn't answer and subconsciously clenched her fingers.

Gu Jinchen, who was in the audience, called Michael one after another and finally got through. However, after hearing what the other party said, the phone slipped from his palm.

A few minutes later, the clerk stepped forward and whispered something in the judge's ear. The judge picked up the gavel and struck it: "Since the defendant's defense lawyer is not present, I now declare--"
