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

"Transferred to criminal investigation!"

These six words struck like a thunderbolt, hitting everyone in the courtroom hard on the head!

The entire courtroom fell into a deathly silence, so quiet that one could clearly hear each other's heartbeats.

Time seemed to have been paused.

On the plaintiff's side.

The despair and confusion on the faces of Wang Hao, Li Zhe, and An Ran had not yet faded.

[Attorney Chen... what are you saying?]

[Agreed to reject the case, then... transfer to criminal proceedings?]

What kind of incredible move is this?!

In the dock.

Zhao Li's confident smile, which had been so smug about his "invincible body," froze instantly.

He's been in the industry for twenty years; what kind of monsters and demons hasn't he seen?

But today, he discovered it for the first time.

My brain doesn't seem to be able to handle it.

Behind him, Zhang Ruifeng's greasy face was also filled with disbelief.

He racked his brains but still couldn't figure it out.

What tricks is this little scoundrel surnamed Chen up to?

Even the usually composed presiding judge showed a rare hint of surprise in the dock.

The focus has shifted back to the young man in the plaintiff's seat.

"quiet!"

The first to react was Zhao Li.

He slammed his hand on the table, stood up abruptly, and his voice changed tone.

"be opposed to!"

"I strongly protest!"

He pointed at Chen Ye, his fingers trembling violently with excitement.

"Your Honor! The plaintiff's lawyer is blatantly slandering us without any evidence!"

Slandering staff of official agencies!

"This is defamation! This is contempt of court!"

"I request that he be immediately removed from the court!"

Zhao Li's voice was urgent and sharp; he had to get the situation under control!

Chen Ye's words must be condemned as "a mad dog biting wildly"!

Otherwise, everything will be over!

Zhang Ruifeng also came to his senses and roared like a dog whose tail had been stepped on:

"Yes! Throw him out! I'm going to sue him for defamation! I'll sue him until he rots in jail!"

The audience stirred again.

The reporters' flashes went off like crazy, illuminating everyone's face in a blur of light and shadow.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden and shocking reversal.

Faced with this overwhelming accusation, Chen Ye simply stood quietly.

He even laughed.

That smile, in the eyes of Zhao Li and Zhang Ruifeng, was more terrifying than the devil.

"Attorney Zhao, please don't get so agitated."

Chen Ye spoke slowly.

"Didn't you just say that the law only believes in evidence?"

"Why do you get so worked up the moment I mention the word 'perjury'?"

"Could it be... that he feels guilty?"

"You...you're spouting nonsense!" Zhao Li's face instantly turned a deep liver color.

"Whether I'm making false accusations or not, we'll find out soon enough."

Chen Ye didn't bother to look at him anymore and turned to the judge, bowing slightly.

"Your Honor, my request to transfer this to a criminal investigation is not without reason."

He paused, his voice suddenly turning cold.

"Because we have control over the defendant, New Century Chemical Plant."

There is irrefutable evidence of a long-term bribery scheme targeting relevant leaders of the New City Environmental Protection Bureau!

boom--!

If the phrase "transferred to criminal investigation" was a bomb, then...

So now, this phrase "bribery" is like a nuclear bomb that explodes on the spot!

It exploded in court!

The entire courtroom erupted in chaos!

"What? Bribery?"

"My God! A leader from the Environmental Protection Bureau?"

"No wonder the report was so 'clean'!"

The reporters have gone mad!

The villagers have gone mad!

Wang Hao, Li Zhe, and An Ran jumped up from their chairs.

【bribery?】

[Holy crap! When did we get this evidence?!]

Only Qin Kexin had her hand under the table, tightly gripping a brown paper bag, her palms sweaty.

But her face showed tension and excitement.

She trusted the man in front of her without reservation!

she knows.

The real battle is only just beginning!

"Nonsense!"

Zhao Li let out a roar, trying to suppress the clamor of the crowd.

"Where's the evidence? Where's your evidence? If you can't produce it, you're making a false accusation in court!"

"evidence?"

Chen Ye smiled, turned around, and gave Qin Kexin a look.

"Kexin".

"Present the surprise we've carefully prepared for General Manager Zhang and Attorney Zhao."

Qin Kexin's delicate body trembled, she took a deep breath and stood up.

He strode forward with firm steps under the watchful eyes of the entire audience.

He personally handed the heavy document bag to the bailiff.

The document bag was presented to the judge's bench.

The presiding judge opened the document bag and took out its contents.

The first document was a thick stack of bank statements.

The second document was an official document with a bright red seal.

The moment the presiding judge saw the heading of the document, his hand visibly trembled.

It was written in black and white on the paper—

"Notice Regarding the Investigation into Zhang Jianjun, Deputy Director of the New City Environmental Protection Bureau, for Suspected Serious Violations of Discipline and Law!"

Issuing Authority: Jingzhou Municipal Supervisory Commission!

The judge's face instantly became extremely serious.

He raised his head and looked at Chen Ye with a serious expression.

Chen Ye understood, picked up the microphone, and his voice was amplified, reaching every corner of the courtroom.

"Everyone, please look at the big screen."

The court clerk immediately projected the document into the center of the courtroom.

Everyone's breath stopped at that moment.

"The first piece of evidence."

Chen Ye pointed to the densely packed bank statements.

"This is Zhang Ruifeng, the legal representative of the defendant, through several overseas shell companies he controls."

Send to a specific account over the past eight years.

Bank records show a total of 27 million yuan in transfers.

"And the account holder is the deputy director of the New City Environmental Protection Bureau."

Ms. Wang Li, wife of Mr. Zhang Jianjun!

"The fee is nominally a 'consultation fee,' but the time for each transfer is..."

All of this happened right after the Environmental Protection Bureau's "routine inspection" of the New Century Chemical Plant!

Before he could finish speaking...

In the audience, the man from the Environmental Protection Bureau suddenly swayed.

He slumped into the chair, his face ashen.

Zhang Ruifeng was in the defendant's seat.

That arrogant face, drained of all color, was now deathly pale.

[Impossible... How could he know about this account! Absolutely impossible!]

Zhao Li was also dumbfounded.

He stared at the bank statements on the screen, his mind blank.

It’s over.

As a top lawyer, he knew better than anyone what this evidence meant.

However, Chen Ye's trial is not over yet.

"The second piece of evidence."

His hand pointed to the official document from the National Supervisory Commission.

"Before the trial, we had already presented all the evidence of bribery."

On behalf of Juncheng Law Firm, a formal complaint has been filed with the Jingzhou Municipal Supervisory Commission!

"At the same time, considering the potential for local protectionism, we have applied for jurisdiction in a different location!"

"What you are seeing now is the case filing notice issued by the Jingzhou Municipal Supervisory Commission three days ago!"

"Zhang Jianjun has been placed under investigation by the Party's disciplinary body!"

Chen Ye's voice was deliberate and clear, each word distinct.

He slowly turned around and looked directly at Zhao Li, whose face had turned deathly pale.

"Now, I'll ask you one more time."

Is that "environmentally compliant" report signed by Zhang Jianjun genuine or fake?

"You, Attorney Zhao, are acting as the defendant's representative."

Despite knowing the report might have problems, it was still presented as key evidence in court.

"Does this constitute obstruction of justice?"

"Would you be considered an 'accomplice' to perjury?"

Zhao Li's body trembled violently, like a leaf turning in the wind.

He opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound, and cold sweat poured down his face like a waterfall.

An invincible record? An industry legend?

At that moment, it shattered into nothingness!

"You...you..."

Zhang Ruifeng pointed at Chen Ye, hesitated for a long time, and finally let out a beast-like roar.

"Chen Ye! I'll kill you!"

The courtroom is completely out of control.

The villagers' cries and the reporters' exclamations mingled together, almost lifting the roof off!

"quiet!"

"quiet!!"

The presiding judge slammed the gavel down with all his might!

"Thump!!"

The authoritative sound finally brought a brief pause to the chaotic scene.

The presiding judge stood up, his square face as cold as ice.

His voice was devoid of any emotion.

"This case involves serious criminal suspicion."

"This is my announcement!"

"Civil proceedings are hereby suspended immediately!"

He picked up the gavel and raised it high once more.

"Transitioning to criminal proceedings!"

"Bailiffs!"

The judge's loud shout echoed throughout the courtroom.

"Immediately take Liu Bing, the suspect in the perjury case, and the three so-called expert witnesses into custody!"
