Just after being thrown into the lake, seven beautiful women blocked the door calling him "husb

"Ms. Li Xiuying".

"Don't be afraid, look here."

Li Xiuying raised her eyes, which were red and swollen with tears, and looked at him blankly and helplessly.

Like a drowning person grabbing onto the last piece of driftwood.

"I have one last question for you."

Chen Ye's voice echoed in the silent courtroom.

It was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.

Everyone held their breath.

The final... question?

What does he want to ask?

Are we going to give up?

It means admitting that you cannot provide evidence.

Is admitting that Zhang Wei is illiterate just a lie to gain sympathy?

Qin Kexin's heart almost jumped out of her throat.

The faces of Li Zhe and Wang Hao, two young men, were drained of color.

A cruel smile crept across Zhong Zhengyang's lips.

He could almost foresee what would happen next.

Chen Ye asked a trivial question.

Then the court adjourned, and he lost the case.

however.

What Chen Ye said next stunned everyone.

He looked at Li Xiuying and clearly repeated Zhong Zhengyang's question.

"Your husband is illiterate, how does he read the navigation and find his way?"

How do you find those complicated house numbers? How do you deliver food?

Everyone in the courtroom was stunned.

The plaintiff's lawyer is asking the defendant's lawyer a question.

Has he gone mad?!

What kind of operation is this?

Suicidal defense?

Admitting defeat in public?

Zhong Zhengyang's smile froze instantly.

He simply couldn't understand it.

What is this kid doing?

Doesn't he know that this problem is unsolvable?

Li Zhe and Wang Hao were struck dumb.

The two stared blankly at Chen Ye, almost thinking there was something wrong with their ears.

Chen Lu... what are you doing?!

In the audience were the riders who had just held onto a last glimmer of hope for Chen Ye.

At this moment, they were completely plunged into despair.

It’s over.

Even their own lawyers have started to question it.

The lawsuit is completely over.

The only thing that hasn't changed is Chen Ye.

He remained calm as he looked at the rural woman in the witness stand.

His eyes held no coercion, only encouragement and trust.

Li Xiuying was stunned.

She doesn't understand law or defense.

She just felt it instinctively.

The questions asked by the menacing-looking lawyer on the other side were a trap.

But now, why is even his own lawyer asking this question?

She opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word; tears welled up in her eyes again.

She was afraid of saying the wrong thing and harming her husband who was lying in the hospital.

The courtroom fell into an eerie, deathly silence.

Everyone watched this absurd scene.

Watching Chen Ye, I saw how he personally led himself to his doom.

"It's okay."

Chen Ye's voice rang out again, breaking the silence.

You don't need to answer me.

"Just do it like he always does, do it for me, do it for the judge, do it for everyone."

"How does he usually behave?"

To...to make it?

Li Xiuying was even more confused.

But she looked into Chen Ye's determined eyes.

There seemed to be a calming power within it.

Trembling, he pulled a cell phone from his faded cloth bag.

A very old domestically produced smartphone.

The corners of the screen are already cracked.

She held the phone in both hands as if it were something very precious.

Then, she did something that surprised everyone.

She didn't unlock the screen or open any apps.

She simply brought the phone to her mouth.

Take a deep breath and speak into the phone's microphone.

He read out an address in Mandarin with a heavy local accent.

"Go...go...New City International...Building A."

The courtroom was silent.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the strange behavior of the rural woman.

What is she doing?

Talking to yourself while looking at your phone?

A hint of contempt had appeared on Zhong Zhengyang's face.

They've really gone mad.

Birds of a feather flock together.

The lawyer was a fraud, and the witnesses he found were also insane.

However, the next second.

A standard, emotionless, electronically synthesized female voice.

It rang clearly from the speaker of that old cell phone.

"Okay, the route has been planned for you. The entire journey is 8.2 kilometers and will take approximately 32 minutes."

"Two hundred meters ahead, please turn right onto People's Avenue."

Dead silence.

A deathly silence so profound you could hear a pin drop.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still.

The contempt on Zhong Zhengyang's face froze instantly.

His facial muscles twitched uncontrollably, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

He stared intently at the phone that was broadcasting navigation.

[Language...pronunciation...]

[Is it... a voice assistant?!]

How could he forget this!

On the plaintiff's side.

Qin Kexin suddenly covered her mouth.

Tears welled up instantly.

She watched Chen Ye's retreating figure, the man who remained calm and composed even when everyone else was in despair.

original……

So that was his killer move!

In the audience.

A young rider suddenly stood up, only to be pulled back down by the people around him.

Two streams of hot tears streamed down his face.

Yes.

Voice assistant!

Countless people among them rely on this feature.

I finally found a way to survive in this unfamiliar city!

In the dock.

The presiding judge and the jurors all glanced down at the table in front of them.

They seemed to recall a feature on their own phones that had perhaps never been activated.

That was something they could do without.

But for others, the eyes are a guide and a tool for survival.

Li Xiuying had no idea what was happening in court.

She simply continued doing as Chen Ye instructed.

She then said into the phone, "Make a call... to the customer."

The phone screen lit up and automatically dialed a number.

She held the phone to her ear, speaking to the air, and timidly imitated her husband's tone.

"Hello? Is this Mr. Wang from room 1801?"

"Your takeout is here, but I... I can't find the elevator in Building A."

Could you... could you tell me how to get there?

Every word felt like a resounding slap in the face.

It slapped hard across Zhong Zhengyang's face!

Slap it across Huohuo Takeout's face!

Slap them across the face of those self-righteous rule-makers!

Telepathy?

Do not!

This era has given the most humble people the lowest of the low.

It is also the most tenacious tool for surviving!

Li Xiuying put down her phone, as if she had completed some important task, and looked at Chen Ye timidly.

"That's just how he is."

She sobbed and added.

"Later, after traveling for a long time, hearing more, and seeing more..."

"He also recognizes some simple characters."

"He can write characters like 'left,' 'right,' and 'rice'..."

"He told me that when the child is a little older, he'll have the child teach him to recognize more words..."

boom!

Zhong Zhengyang's body shook violently.

He couldn't hold on any longer.

He fell backward and slumped heavily into the chair.

His well-maintained face was drained of color, turning deathly pale.

His lips trembled, his eyes were unfocused, and he muttered unconsciously to himself.

"We lost..."

"I lost..."

In his 30 years in the profession, he has won countless lawsuits and defeated numerous opponents.

He never thought of it.

One day, I will be with an illiterate man.

I was so thoroughly ruined by a talking cell phone.

Chen Ye slowly turned around.

Looking at that legal giant slumped in his chair, as if all his bones had been removed.

"Attorney Chung".

"Now tell me."

He leaned closer to the microphone, his voice not loud, but it instantly silenced the entire courtroom.

"A worker who relies on a voice assistant to ask for directions word by word, struggling to survive in this city."

"You asked him to read and understand a legal document that even law students take half a day to read in 1.7 seconds."

"You call this 'fairness'?"
