Chapter 143 You Ants
"empty?!"

The head of the medical team said with regret, "Yes, although Lin Xiaohe's body has been repaired, she is just an empty shell."

This situation is even worse than being in a vegetative state.

At least a person in a vegetative state has a subconscious mind, but Lin Xiaohe is just a physical body.

From the perspective of self-awareness, Lin Xiaohe can be declared dead.

The head of the medical team sighed inwardly. It could have been a medical miracle, but they still fell short by one step.

Fortunately, his mental abilities were complex, so he could easily make up a reason to explain why Lin Xiaohe had become a vegetable.

The white-haired old man said, "Oh, it's alright, let her continue to go to court."

what? !

An elderly man with white hair made an internal call, and soon a person completely shrouded in a black robe arrived.

He controlled a worm-like, stardust-mutated creature, which was pressed against Lin Xiaohe's throat.

Five minutes later, Lin Xiaohe opened her mouth slightly and said in a hoarse voice, "Sir, Lin Xiaohe's body is too strong, my mutated beast cannot squeeze in."

The white-haired old man frowned in displeasure and said with disdain, "Let's leave it at that for now. When they ask you who your accomplices are during the trial, remember to answer that Yao Siyuan is one of them."

The white-haired old man's lips curled slightly, revealing a chilling smirk.

Since they dared to challenge the authority of the Ministry of Security, they should be prepared to be targeted.

Yao Siyuan, the commander of the Sixth Star Ring Military Region, was the chicken he singled out to make an example of!
The Department of Security made concessions, agreeing to a public trial, but refused to transfer trial authority to a federal military court.

Due to the special identities of the parties involved in this case and the significant public and social impact it has caused, the case will be heard by the First Federal Court.

The trial was presided over by the Chief Justice, known as the "federal scales of justice," and the jury consisted of representatives from the military, government officials, Republican Rheinman, Democrat Karin Reynolds, and twenty elected officials.

The entire court hearing will be broadcast live and subject to public scrutiny.

The prosecutor's representative was Su Shuang, the legal head of the Ministry of Security. A prodigy from a family of lawyers, the strongest lawyer in the federal government, he had participated in 13,000 cases without a single defeat.

The defense representative was Chang Haonan, who was hired by Xinghe Party at a high salary.

He and Su Shuang were old rivals. While most lawyers avoided the case like the plague, he volunteered, determined to defeat Su Shuang in front of the entire Federation!

The two faced off across the distance, their gazes sparking like fire.

Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the courtroom.

"Xiao He! What's wrong with you?!" Cassian was unshaven and had bloodshot eyes.

He was the one who had the hardest time during this period.

He had to find a way to protect Chu Huaizhi and prevent anyone with ulterior motives from killing him, while also resisting pressure from the Ministry of State Security and resolutely refusing to dismiss Lin Xiaohe.

Each additional identity Lin Xiaohe has provides her with a little more protection.

"How dare you resort to vigilante justice?!" Cassian glared fiercely at the white-haired old man.

Lin Xiaohe, who was always lively and energetic, looked like a broken doll at this moment. Her eyes were closed, and she was wearing a loose hospital gown, sitting in a wheelchair with her head slightly tilted back.

Cassian tried to rush over to check Lin Xiaohe's injuries, but was stopped by a court police officer: "Step back! Any further disturbances in the courtroom will result in expulsion."

The white-haired old man scoffed, not even glancing at Kassian, and went straight to sit on the jury.

"grown ups."

"My lord, it's been a long time. How are you doing?"

Karin Reno and the others stood up and bowed to the white-haired old man.

The white-haired old man nodded reservedly, and said meaningfully, "It's alright, it's just that some ants are quite annoying."

All three wore impeccable smiles.

boom!
The judge banged his gavel: "The Lin Xiaohe case is now in session. Nuwa, please verify Lin Xiaohe's identity."

Nuwa: [Lin Xiaohe, 18 years old, resident of Wasteland Planet 7 in the Sixth Star Ring, manipulator of Stardust Mutant Plants, president of the student council of the Agricultural Department of the Central Military Academy, leader of the Starhe Party, captain of the Sixth Star Ring. Information verified.]

The long list of titles left the viewers watching the live stream in awe.

Unfortunately, in order to maintain order in the live stream, comments from people other than the official staff are prohibited.

After the presiding judge announced the origin of the case, the cause of the prosecution, and the composition of the court, the prosecutor, Su Shuang, read the indictment. His tone was impassioned and highly infectious: "Lin Xiaohe betrayed the trust placed in her by Marshal Chu and the people of the Federation, concealing her identity as a rebel and wantonly manipulating the feelings of the people. Fortunately, justice prevails, and she has finally been exposed."

The Chief Justice looked at Chang Haonan: "Do you have any objections to the indictment?"

Chang Haonan: "Yes! He just said so much, but there wasn't a single piece of substantial evidence to prove that it was my client who poisoned me."

He looked at Su Shuang: "What kind of poison did Marshal Chu suffer from? Is there a report?"

Su Shuang: "It's an unknown poison, extremely difficult to detect."

Chang Haonan pressed on: "So, you can't even prove that Chu Huaizhi fell into a coma due to poisoning? As we all know, Marshal Chu was seriously injured and his mental state collapsed. Can you prove that his current coma is unrelated to his old injury?"

Su Shuang had no evidence, but he wasn't worried at all.

Chang Haonan's eyes darkened, and he continued, "Including your witness testimonies, none of them contain any clear incriminating evidence. Everything you submitted only proves that my client happened to be present when Chu Huaizhi was unconscious."

Su Shuang smiled and said, "It's alright, I have another important witness."

"Who?"

"Lin Xiaohe!"

These words caused an uproar throughout the courtroom.

Having the defendant act as a witness for the prosecution?! What's the difference between that and pleading guilty in court?
Ignoring the crowd's chatter, Su Shuang approached Lin Xiaohe and asked, word by word, "Lin Xiaohe, are you a member of the rebel army?"

Lin Xiaohe closed her eyes, slightly opened her mouth, and said in a soft, hoarse voice, "Yes."

"My goodness!!"

Cassian jumped to his feet, staring at Lin Xiaohe in disbelief.

The StarNet was in an uproar, with a surge of new viewers flooding into the live stream, causing a brief lag.

Su Shuang's lips curled up into a smile, her voice becoming even softer: "Was it you who poisoned Chu Huai?"

Lin Xiaohe's reaction seemed a beat slow: "Yes."

I go! ! !

The students from the Central Military Academy who came to the court to watch the trial couldn't sit still.

Baisde roared, "Lin Xiaohe, wake up! What nonsense are you spouting?!"

Court police officers apprehended Baisde and escorted him out of the courtroom.

After the brief commotion subsided, Su Shuang continued to ask Lin Xiaohe, "You couldn't have done something this big by yourself. Who instructed you? Or do you have any accomplices?"

"Protest!" Chang Haonan interrupted Su Shuang's question. "I demand a third-party investigation into the mental and physical condition of the person involved, Lin Xiaohe!"

The judge considered for a second and granted Chang Haonan's application.

After a precise scan, Nuwa concluded: "Weak spiritual power, no signs of spiritual induction detected."

The court's dedicated medical assessment team also concluded: "He is in good health; there is not even a pinhole."

My goodness!

Chang Haonan's face darkened, and when he met Su Shuang's smug gaze, he became even angrier.

They must have tampered with it, but there's no evidence to prove it.

As the medical team was about to leave, a strong, chilling sense of dread enveloped the entire courtroom.

Everyone felt as if an invisible hand was gripping their hearts, and their breathing became rapid and heavy.

They trembled uncontrollably, as if they had been thrown into a terrifying abyss.

As Karen Reno and the others looked in the direction of their fear, they were met with a pair of cold, indifferent eyes that glowed red.

Lin Xiaohe opened her eyes!
 My darlings, please don't let this post get published! I'm going to cry like a storm.

  Please provide more data! Please vote!
  The female lead is truly my daughter; she couldn't possibly be foolishly loyal!

  Oh my, I really wish I could write tens of thousands of words a day.
