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

The taxi came to a steady stop in front of the magnificent gate of the Dongcheng Court.

As Chen Ye pushed open the car door, a wave of heat mixed with a solemn and dignified atmosphere rushed towards him.

He looked up at the towering steps.

And the huge building at the end of the steps, gleaming with the national emblem, made me feel inexplicably uneasy.

He had only ever seen this place on television in his previous life.

"Attorney Chen, let's go."

Qin Kexin's voice pulled him back from his brief daze.

She had already paid the fare and was carrying a thick stack of documents.

Standing next to Chen Ye, her smart business suit blended perfectly with the courthouse backdrop.

Chen Ye nodded, took a step, and walked side by side with her up the wide steps.

I had only taken a few steps when a group of people came down in front of me.

The leader was a middle-aged man who was about forty years old.

His hair was styled with hair gel and made shiny, and his suit looked expensive.

However, those triangular eyes ruined the overall style of the outfit.

The man spotted Chen Ye from afar, and an exaggerated smile immediately spread across his face.

He took a few quick steps, spread his arms, and blocked Chen Ye and Qin Kexin's path.

"Hey, isn't this our famous lawyer Chen from New City?"

"I heard that your family has recently experienced a huge change, and even our great dancer Su dumped you?"

"What, are you planning to win back the face you lost in court?"

These words were sharp and sarcastic, directly exposing Chen Ye's private affairs in public.

Many lawyers and clients entering and leaving the court cast curious glances at them.

The man was Zhang Wei, the opposing party's chief lawyer.

Seeing that he had successfully attracted everyone's attention, he became even more smug.

His gaze shifted and landed on Qin Kexin, a look that made her very uncomfortable.

"Assistant Qin is still so beautiful. It's a pity she followed the wrong person."

Zhang Wei clicked his tongue twice, looking regretful.

"After today, you might be packing your bags and getting out of here along with your lawyer, Chen."

Qin Kexin's face paled instantly.

But she suppressed her anger out of professional ethics.

She stepped forward and slightly blocked Chen Ye's path.

She looked at Zhang Wei calmly.

"Attorney Zhang, what's the matter? We'll settle it in court."

"To launch a personal attack outside the courthouse is not the behavior of a professional lawyer."

Zhang Wei let out a sneer, completely disregarding Qin Kexin.

He extended his index finger and pointed it at Qin Kexin from a distance, his gesture utterly contemptuous.

"Little girl, you have no right to speak here."

"You're too green for adult games. Go back and study for a few more years."

This statement completely discredited Qin Kexin's professionalism.

She was so angry that her chest heaved, but for a moment she couldn't find the words to refute her.

Chen Ye, who had been observing the situation from the sidelines.

The moment I heard those words, my aura changed.

He reached out and pulled Qin Kexin behind him.

This sudden protective action made Qin Kexin's heart tremble violently.

She stared blankly at Chen Ye's broad back.

Chen Ye finally spoke.

"An adult game?"

He repeated it, then let out a soft chuckle.

"Judging from your appearance, you're just someone who sits in an arcade fiddling with a joystick."

What's wrong? Did you shake it too much last night? Have you lost your mind today?

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

Zhang Wei's smile froze.

The young lawyers behind him were also dumbfounded.

Qin Kexin was so shocked that she covered her mouth.

This... this is something Chen Ye would say?

Zhang Wei realized what was happening and pointed at Chen Ye.

She was so angry that her lips were trembling and she could barely speak.

"You... Chen Ye! How dare you insult me?"

"Is this all the quality you, a senior partner, possess?"

Chen Ye felt as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Manners? Do I need to talk about manners with someone like you?"

He stepped forward, closing in on Zhang Wei.

A powerful sense of oppression made Zhang Wei subconsciously take half a step back.

"You smell like photinia flowers the moment you open your mouth; it's enough to make your leftover dinner smell terrible."

"Whether I get a divorce or not is none of your business. You seem so concerned about my ex-wife, what, are you secretly in love with her?"

Chen Ye tilted his head and looked Zhang Wei up and down.

He looked exactly like a street thug scrutinizing his defeated opponent.

"What a pity."

Chen Ye changed the subject, shook his head, and showed a look of pity on his face.

"Even if my ex-wife was blind, she wouldn't even look at someone like you who isn't even worthy of carrying my shoes."

These words made Zhang Wei's face turn a deep purplish-red.

The Chen Ye he remembered was arrogant, conceited, and profit-driven.

But they always maintained that false sense of dignity typical of high society.

Never before have I been able to curse like a scoundrel in front of so many people like this.

This huge contrast left him completely dumbfounded, unable to think of a single rebuttal.

Qin Kexin stood behind Chen Ye's broad back, listening to those vulgar and offensive words.

But every word seemed to be defending her words.

Far from feeling the slightest bit disgusted, her heart was pounding wildly.

An unprecedented sense of security enveloped her completely.

She stared intently at Chen Ye's retreating figure, her mind racing with thoughts of how to win him over.

Lawyer Chen... he must have been greatly affected by the divorce.

Only then will their temperament change drastically, and they will no longer suppress themselves.

Yes, that must be it!

He used to be very capable, but he was always cold and aloof.

There's a barrier between us; they've never, ever stood up for me like this...

Moreover, he is single now.

Does that mean things between him and me no longer have to be like they were before?

Living in fear and hiding?

The moment this thought crossed Qin Kexin's face, it became burning hot.

The jealousy and unease that arose in his heart because of Liu Huan.

It was instantly replaced by an even stronger sense of anticipation and sweetness.

Amidst the stares of onlookers who looked at him as if he were a fool.

Zhang Wei was rendered speechless by the rebuttal, and in the end, he could only squeeze out a harsh remark through gritted teeth.

"Fine! Chen Ye, you just wait! We'll see how you talk back in court later!"

After saying that, he couldn't stay any longer and led his team into the courthouse in a dejected manner.

The farce thus came to an end.

Chen Ye slowly turned around, and the roguish look on his face instantly vanished without a trace.

He transformed back into the composed, aloof, and all-powerful top lawyer.

He glanced at Qin Kexin beside him, whose cheeks were flushed and whose eyes were glazed over, and said something indifferently.

"Let's go, don't let the mad dog ruin our mood."

After speaking, he took the lead and stepped onto the stairs.

Qin Kexin was stunned for a moment, then quickly hugged the documents and hurried after them.

Looking at that tall, straight figure in front of me.

Her admiration and love were almost overflowing.

The two entered the third courtroom.

The gallery, which can accommodate over a hundred people, was almost completely full at this moment.

Most of them were emotionally charged owners of unfinished buildings.

They saw Chen Ye, the developer's lawyer, walk in.

Countless angry and hateful gazes shot towards them.

Those gazes seemed to want to devour him alive.

Chen Ye, however, remained oblivious to all of this.

His face was expressionless, and his steps were steady.

Without looking to either side, he walked straight to the defendant's seat on the right side of the judge's bench and calmly took his seat.

This composure is such that one remains calm even when Mount Tai collapses before them.

The commotion in the gallery instantly subsided.

The judge and court clerk were already in place on the bench.

The presiding judge was Zhou Guoqiang, about fifty years old, with a serious face and rarely smiled.

It's 2:30 PM, time for the court hearing.

The courtroom fell silent instantly.

Zhou Guoqiang picked up the gavel and surveyed the entire room with an air of authority.

A loud voice resounded throughout the courtroom.

"Court is now in session."

The gavel in his hand fell heavily.

"Thump!"

A crisp sound seemed to strike the heart of everyone present.

The war has officially begun.

However, almost at the same moment the gavel fell.

On the plaintiff's seat opposite him, Zhang Wei suddenly stood up.

He wore a vengeful smile.

They couldn't wait to speak first.

"Your Honor! Before we proceed with the debate in the courtroom..."

We request to submit to the court a completely new piece of evidence that could overturn the nature of this case!

"This evidence directly proves that the defendant, Shengshi Group, engaged in serious contract fraud!"
