Who would study psychology if they didn't have some kind of problem?

Chapter 535 Your reaction is a bit too strange.
After Bai Qinghua finished speaking as a witness, the entire court investigation phase came to an end.

The court hearing entered a brief recess, which was a procedural break.

After the break, the proceedings will proceed in the following order: [Court Debate], [Defendant's Final Statement], and [Court Verdict].

Among them, the defendant's final statement is a legal right of the defendant, allowing them to make a final statement regarding the conviction and sentencing before being ultimately convicted.

[Court Verdict] is when the presiding judge announces the verdict, including the conviction and sentencing.

Both of these stages are solo performances.

The courtroom debate preceding these two stages is the stage for heated arguments between the prosecutor, the victim and their lawyer, the defendant, and the defense attorney.

The witnesses have virtually no chance of appearing again.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, Nan Zhuren and his group's work for today can be considered finished.

Chonghui sat in the witness lounge, still feeling his anger hadn't subsided.

Although Bai Qinghua had just delivered a scathing critique of the defendant's lawyer as an expert witness, Chong Hui, who was watching the proceedings, still felt uneasy. It was like having eagerly anticipated meeting a renowned fitness guru, only to find himself feeling no soreness whatsoever after an hour-long workout.

This is not only because the defendant's lawyer verbally attacked his own people, but also because the weapons the opposing side used to attack misinterpreted too many psychological concepts.

Statements such as "Nan Zhihao may have had the illness before, it's not because of us," "He's always been introverted, it's his own fault for being special," and "Illnesses diagnosed through psychological counseling aren't really illnesses" are being made.

To professionals, it's like someone taking things out of the toilet to fight; just looking at it is disgusting.

I feel like I'm being mentally polluted if I say even one more word.

If they were outside, Chonghui felt that he and his junior brother combined had at least nine ways to completely socially destroy the defendant's lawyer!
Nine kinds!

As a result, due to playing away from home, even Nan Zhuren, the disciple with the strongest verbal skills, was defeated, and even the teacher Bai Qinghua had to step in.

Although I won the debate in the end, I still felt like I lost.

However, as he was getting angry, Chonghui realized that he seemed to be the only one sulking in the lounge.

"Junior brother, are you... alright?"

After hearing this question, Nan Zhuren glanced at Chonghui, and with a quick glance at his micro-expression, he roughly understood his senior brother's thoughts.

After thinking for a moment, Nan Zhuren replied, "This was expected. Besides, this is not my battlefield; I have already done my job."

Chonghui responded with a "Hmm?".

Nan Zhuren gently shook his head and explained, "I am here today only as a witness. I have presented the evidence I could submit and provided an explanation of the evidence based on my professional knowledge—my explanation is correct, so my task is finished."

"As for what effect they achieve, that's beyond my control."

“Nan Zhihao is indeed my client, but what outcome he can achieve in this case is not within my scope of work. Worrying about this is like a physical education teacher worrying about a student’s math grades.”

“In fact, if I say too much at the scene, it will have the opposite effect and be detrimental to Nan Zhihao’s psychological healing.”

Chonghui looked at Nan Zhuren, rarely seeing his junior brother explain so much in one breath.

"Don't you care?" the tall senior brother asked tentatively, looking at his junior brother's expression.

Nan Zhuren nodded expressionlessly: "I don't care."

"Alright." Chonghui then looked at his teacher, wanting to hear his evaluation of the trial's outcome.

“ti——mi~~”

Bai Qinghua, who was holding his phone horizontally, felt his apprentice's gaze and looked up suddenly: "Ah, why are you looking at me? My work has been completed perfectly, and Nan Zhihao is not my visitor."

Chonghui averted his gaze from the teacher. What kind of "my student's visit is not my visit" is this?
Although he knew the teacher was saying that on purpose and would cover for him if anything went wrong, Chonghui's lips still twitched involuntarily, and his right hand involuntarily reached for his phone.

In this seemingly relaxed atmosphere.

"Boom boom boom——"

There was a knock on the door of the lounge.

The door opened, and Nan Zhihao, who was completely covered up, took off his mask and greeted softly, "Teacher Nan..."

Three pairs of eyes in the lounge immediately converged on them.

However, before Nan Zhihao could say anything, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the corridor.

The half-closed door to the lounge was suddenly flung open, and Attorney Zhan barged in with the young man wearing a watch.

"Zhihao!" the young man wearing the watch called out to Nan Zhihao.

"Mr. Nan." Attorney Zhan addressed him politely, but his eyes burned with a intensity that could scorch anyone.

……

The witness lounge, which originally had only three people, suddenly doubled in number, and even became a bit crowded.

The assistants with thick black frames and thin white frames had somehow appeared at the door.

Attorney Zhan, however, ignored all of this.

He was even more agitated than the young man wearing the watch, the party involved: "Just now during the court hearing, we saw someone sitting in the back who looked a lot like you from afar. Why didn't you tell us you were coming?"

Nan Zhihao opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, the impatient lawyer Zhan interrupted him: "Have you come to a decision? Although it's a bit late to file a lawsuit for insult now, this is only the first instance. There's a second instance later, so we can talk about these things later..."

"Furthermore, the complete transcript of the psychological counseling dialogue can now be submitted as supplementary evidence, and this will be counted as evidence in the fraud case. Although it's a bit late, as long as there's a suitable reason for the delay, it's fine!"

"Once the complete consultation dialogue is submitted, almost all of the defenses from the other side can be rendered invalid, and their defense rhythm can be completely disrupted. There will basically be no problem in the next stage!"

"Even before the second trial, we could find Mr. Nan's classmates from school to testify, supplementing his social reactions before the fraud incident, thereby highlighting the psychologically devastating nature of the fraud case and increasing the severity of the circumstances..."

Attorney Zhan spoke faster and faster.

His defense strategy was quite comprehensive.

But Nan Zhuren and the other two couldn't help but frown upon hearing this.

Nan Zhihao took a slight step back, standing with the three of them, thus forming an opposition to Lawyer Zhan and the young man with the watch.

After rattling off a long string of words, Attorney Zhan finally regained his composure. Looking at the reactions of the four people opposite him, he explained, "I'm sorry, the court proceedings didn't go very smoothly just now, I was a little..."

Nan Zhuren shook his head: "Your reaction doesn't seem to be caused by just 'unsuccessful court proceedings'."
