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

Two days later.

Despite the strong objections from the doctors and nurses, Chen Ye insisted on being discharged from the hospital.

His injuries were far from fully healed, and any movement caused him excruciating pain.

But he couldn't wait.

For the next two weeks, the public interest legal aid department of Juncheng Law Firm was completely on high alert.

The office lights are on almost 24 hours a day.

Takeout boxes and coffee cups were piled up in a corner, forming a small mountain.

The results from the testing center in Beijing that Wang Hao contacted are in.

River water samples from Qinghu Village and toxic water samples from the sewage outlet of the New Century Chemical Plant.

The chemical composition is highly compatible.

Heavy metals, strong acids, and various carcinogens were found to be in serious excess.

In the villagers' blood and urine samples.

The corresponding toxic substances were also detected.

The proof is like a mountain!

Li Zhe also successfully uncovered the details of Zhang Ruifeng's asset transfer through offshore companies.

They also joined forces with the economic crime investigation department to apply for pre-litigation property preservation.

Zhang Ruifeng's assets worth hundreds of millions of yuan in the country were directly frozen.

Under Qin Kexin's guidance, An Ran wrote a lawsuit that was over a hundred pages long.

The logic is rigorous, the accusations are clear, and every word is written with heartfelt emotion.

Chen Ye became the backbone of the entire team.

He only slept four or five hours a day, and despite his injuries, he worked to gather all the evidence.

Analyze every detail of the trial and anticipate all the underhanded tricks the opposing side might use.

His prior legal knowledge was put to its fullest use during this intense preparation.

He was like a tireless machine.

Connect all the clues and weave them into a comprehensive and inescapable network.

……

Two weeks later, the court hearing will take place.

The entrance to the new city intermediate people's court was heavily guarded.

Dozens of media outlets surrounded the courthouse entrance with their cameras and microphones.

This is a huge environmental infringement case initiated by Juncheng Law Firm against "New Century Chemical Plant", a major taxpayer in Xincheng District.

It has already ignited public opinion.

A black Bentley slowly pulled up in front of the courthouse.

The car door opened.

Zhang Ruifeng, the general manager of New Century Chemical Plant.

He emerged surrounded by a group of bodyguards in black.

He was wearing a well-tailored suit.

He had his hair slicked back and wore a confident smile.

Behind him followed a luxurious team of lawyers from a top law firm in Beijing.

Leading the group was Zhao Li, a lawyer known as the "Invincible Lawyer."

They were all dressed in suits and exuded a powerful aura.

The power of capital was on full display at this moment.

Just then, Chen Ye's flashy Mercedes arrived on the other side.

The car door opened.

Chen Ye came down.

He was wearing a fitted black suit today.

The top two buttons of the white shirt collar were casually undone.

The gold-rimmed glasses concealed the sharpness in his eyes.

The scar on his forehead that hadn't fully healed yet.

It added a touch of cold, murderous aura to his otherwise refined, scoundrel-like face.

Qin Kexin, Li Zhe, Wang Hao, and An Ran followed closely behind.

Although they were young, each of their faces was filled with defiance and determination.

The two groups of people met unexpectedly at the bottom of the steps in front of the courthouse.

The air froze instantly.

Zhang Ruifeng looked at Chen Ye and spoke with a forced smile.

"Attorney Chen, it's been a long time! You're still as charming as ever."

He glanced at the scar on Chen Ye's forehead, his smile revealing undisguised sarcasm.

"Why bother? Why make yourself look so pathetic over a few peasants?"

"If you back out now, there's still time to negotiate the price."

Chen Ye adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, the lenses reflecting a cold light.

He smiled.

"Mr. Zhang, you'll soon find out that some things money can't buy."

"For example, justice."

His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

"For example, your later life."

Zhang Ruifeng's smile froze on his face.

Zhao Li, the top lawyer behind him, stepped forward and gave Chen Ye a disdainful look.

"Young man, don't be so hot-blooded."

"In court, what matters is evidence and strength, not words."

Chen Ye glanced at him, too lazy to even reply.

He led his team straight up the steps.

As they brushed past each other, Wang Hao glared fiercely at the other person.

Upon entering the courthouse, we went through security and arrived at the designated courtroom.

The courtroom was already packed.

The audience seats were filled with village representatives from Qinghu Village, as well as reporters from various media outlets.

On the other side, a man wearing an environmental protection bureau uniform.

He was looking down, nervously playing with his phone.

He was Zhang Jianjun's deputy.

He received a text message, read it, and quickly deleted it.

Then he gave a subtle nod to the few "false witnesses" not far away.

Chen Ye took in all these details.

Chen Ye walked to the plaintiff's seat and sat down, placing the thick case file on the table.

He looked up at Zhang Ruifeng, who still had an arrogant expression, sitting in the defendant's dock opposite him.

Their gazes met in mid-air.

Sparks flew everywhere.

Time passed second by second.

The presiding judge, judges, and lay assessors took their seats in turn.

The court clerk announced the court rules.

The entire courtroom was solemn and dignified, the air so oppressive it was hard to breathe.

"Everyone stand up!"

The clerk shouted loudly.

Everyone stood up in response.

"Thump!"

The presiding judge picked up the gavel and struck it heavily.

The crisp sound echoed in every corner of the courtroom and resonated in everyone's heart.

"Court is now in session!"
