Juncheng Law Firm, Public Interest Department Office.

When Qin Kexin and An Ran pushed the door open and came in, Li Zhe and Wang Hao practically sprang into action.

"How is it?!"

The two brought in more than just a body covered in cold, damp rain.

There was also an irrepressible surge of excitement.

Qin Kexin's face still bore the flush of running wildly in the rain.

The shoulders of her trench coat were wet, but she exuded confidence and charisma, as if she were radiating light.

She walked straight to Chen Ye's desk.

He carefully took two items out of his pocket.

A piece of letter paper, slightly warmed by body heat.

And a notebook wrapped tightly in a plastic bag.

"Attorney Chen, I got it."

Her voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly, from excitement.

An Ran also came over, her little face red from the cold, but she was so excited that she danced around.

"Teacher! That old Zhang has confessed everything!"

Before being interrogated, Wang Yunjin claimed that he had killed the person!

He even recorded all of this in his duty log from that year!

boom!

The office erupted in chaos.

Li Zhe and Wang Hao huddled together to look at the testimony.

The two of them were so excited that their faces turned a deep purplish-red.

"Holy crap! That's a royal flush!"

"With this, the police's 'seeking credit and dying' excuse is utter nonsense!"

Chen Ye wasn't as excited as they were.

He simply picked up the letter and the notebook.

Looking at the crooked and messy handwriting on the letter.

The notebook clearly recorded the date and the content of Wang Yunjin's shouts.

Witness testimony and physical evidence are all available.

[As expected of the woman I like, that kiss completely drove me crazy!]

Chen Ye chuckled to himself.

She cracked the toughest part of the case in just three days.

He looked up at Qin Kexin, at her delicate face.

"Well done."

Four simple words.

Qin Kexin's heart skipped a beat, and her face flushed even more.

She avoided Chen Ye's gaze and brushed the damp stray hairs from her forehead.

"It's all thanks to An Ran. If she hadn't persisted, I probably would have given up."

An Ran quickly waved her hand: "No, no, it's all because of Sister Kexin!"

What she said to that old man made me cry!

In the corner, Wen Yi, who had been silent until now, also stood up.

Her eyes welled up with tears as she looked at the evidence on the table that could clear Hao Bin's name.

She walked up to Chen Ye and faced him.

He then bowed deeply to Qin Kexin and An Ran.

"Thank you... thank you all."

Wen Yi looked up and saw Chen Ye's tie, which was crooked again.

Her face flushed red instantly.

That night flashed through my mind instantly.

The scene of them entangled together in the conference room.

"Alright, we've got the goods, all we need is the right opportunity."

Chen Ye carefully put away the evidence.

"Just wait, we should get a response to that appeal by now."

……

However, another two days have passed.

As for the provincial high court, it was still a case of "like a stone sinking into the sea".

The office was filled with an energy and excitement that seemed to have been injected with adrenaline.

It was quickly depleted, leaving only a agonizing anxiety.

Li Zhe and Wang Hao were restless, constantly refreshing their emails.

An Ran and Wen Yi also held their water glasses, remaining silent to each other.

Only Chen Ye remained leaning back in his chair, resting with his eyes closed.

[As expected, it's naive to think that a mere appeal will get them moving.]

These seasoned veterans won't act until they see a clear benefit.

[You're not going to budge, are you? Fine, I'll give you a little push and boil this stagnant water over!]

He suddenly opened his eyes and stood up from the chair.

"Don't wait any longer."

Everyone in the office looked at him.

"If we follow the normal procedures, they can drag us out indefinitely."

Chen Ye grabbed his coat and walked towards the door.

"Kexin, you stay here and organize the evidence you have again."

"Wang Hao, Li Zhe, go and contact a few trustworthy media reporters."

Let's not get into the details yet; let's just say we have some juicy information.

"Teacher, what about you?" An Ran asked subconsciously.

Chen Ye stopped at the door, turned around, and grinned.

"Me? I'll go ask a deity to fan the wind and light the fire."

The CEO's office.

When Chen Ye pushed the door open and went in.

Liu Huan was wearing a tight-fitting yoga outfit and stretching in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

That breathtaking curve.

Her movements were depicted with exquisite detail.

Sweat soaked her hair and slid down her fair neck.

This added an even more alluring and wild beauty to her already captivating face.

"Hey, my top lawyer, what brings you here today?"

Liu Huan didn't stop what she was doing, but just glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.

"How's the case going?"

Chen Ye ignored her teasing, walked to the liquor cabinet, and poured himself a glass of whiskey.

"I've run into some trouble."

He shook the ice cubes in the glass.

"I'd like to ask Mr. Liu for a favor."

Liu Huan finally stopped what she was doing, picked up a towel, and wiped the sweat from her neck.

She walked slowly to Chen Ye and took the glass of wine from his hand.

He took a sip himself.

"For you to come all the way to me, it must be some serious trouble."

Her breath was fragrant, and the scent of her body, a mixture of sweat and perfume, wafted into Chen Ye's nose.

"Tell me, do you want money or your man?"

Chen Ye looked at her, speaking each word clearly.

"I want public opinion."

"I want to make the phrase 'one case, two culprits' true."

Within 24 hours, it became a trending topic across the entire internet.

Liu Huan raised an eyebrow, seemingly somewhat surprised.

"Why is it causing such a big fuss?"

"Aren't you afraid of going too far?"

Chen Ye sneered.

"If they're not afraid, why should I be?"

Liu Huan stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled.

That smile was both alluring and dangerous.

"Okay."

She shoved the wine glass back into Chen Ye's hand.

She stretched out her slender fingers and gently touched Chen Ye's chest.

Chen Ye looked down and glanced at her restless finger.

Liu Huan's fingers traced along his chest.

It slowly moved upwards and hooked onto his tie.

With a gentle pull.

Chen Ye's body involuntarily moved closer to her.

The two were so close that they could feel each other's breath.

Liu Huan's red lips almost touched his.

The breath they exhaled carried a deadly sweet scent.

"I'll give you the public opinion, but... when are you coming to be with me?"

the next day.

The entire internet crashed.

#Two Suspects in One Case in Qinghe County#

#Wrongfully executed ten years ago, has the real culprit already been brought to justice?#

#Parents with gray hair cry at the market, only asking for their son's innocence#

Each headline was shocking, accompanied by a photo of Hao Bin's parents weeping in the vegetable market.

And then there's Wen Guodong's haggard profile.

It completely dominated all major platforms!

The phone number for the public interest department of Juncheng Law Firm.

It hasn't stopped since morning; it's been completely destroyed.

Interview requests from major media outlets poured in like snowflakes.

Li Zhe and Wang Hao were so excited their hands were shaking; they had never imagined this.

One case can cause such a huge uproar.

Public opinion, in their eyes, used to be just an abstract and vague concept.

Today, they witnessed its power firsthand.

This force is overwhelming and unstoppable.

really.

The afternoon of the third day.

A letter bearing a bright red seal was delivered to Juncheng Law Firm by a special envoy.

The official reply from the Provincial High Court.

coming!

Everyone in the office gathered around.

Li Zhe's hands trembled as he tore open the thick kraft paper envelope.

He pulled out the document and read it aloud.

"Appeal regarding the 'Hao Bin intentional homicide case'."

After review, our court has decided to initiate a retrial procedure…

"yeah!"

An Ran and Wen Yi were so excited that they hugged each other.

They used public opinion to forcefully open this door that had been closed for more than a decade!

A rare smile appeared on Chen Ye's face.

But that smile froze instantly when he saw the contents of the document.

Li Zhe's voice gradually lowered, and finally, it got stuck in his throat.

He stared blankly at the document, his face filled with disbelief.

Qin Kexin took the document from his hand.

She looked at the black and white words on the paper and read them aloud softly.

"Given that Hao Bin, the original defendant in this case, has already been executed."

"According to the relevant provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law..."

"This retrial will be conducted through a written hearing."

Qin Kexin's voice trembled slightly.

"No court hearing."

No court hearing.

These three words are like three heavy hammers.

It struck everyone's heart hard.

"What...what does it mean by not holding a trial?" An Ran's face turned deathly pale.

Li Zhe's lips trembled, and he couldn't speak.

Not holding a trial means that all the witnesses they prepared will be absent.

Wen Guodong and Old Zhang were both unable to appear in court to testify.

All the questions they prepared.

All attacks on the procedures used in handling the case back then were completely unfounded.

The so-called retrial is nothing more than a few judges behind closed doors.

They look at the case file and then give a bland, innocuous conclusion.

How can this be considered a retrial?

This is fucking a slap on the wrist!

"Bang!"

Chen Ye slammed his fist heavily on the table.

He looked at the so-called "response" and laughed out loud in anger.

【Good, very good.】

[Play programming games with me? Play word games with me?]

Do you really think I'm some recent law school graduate, so easily fooled?

He snatched the document away abruptly, to everyone's astonishment.

With a "rip," it was torn in two.

He threw the torn pieces of paper hard on the ground.

"They don't want to go to court?"

Chen Ye raised his head and scanned the faces that were either shocked or desperate.

"Then we'll force them to open it!"

He walked up to the whiteboard and picked up a marker.

"Qin Kexin, draft a new application immediately! In my name!"

The pen tip made a screeching sound as it scratched across the whiteboard.

"Based on Article 5 of the 'Regulations on the Trial of Criminal Retrial Cases'!"

"This case has a significant social impact, and there are major controversies surrounding the evidence."

A substantive review of the facts and evidence is necessary!

Chen Ye turned around, and his eyes, hidden behind his gold-rimmed glasses, flashed with a terrifying light.

"Tell them that not holding a court hearing is a violation of procedure!"

"I need you to submit this application to the Supreme Court today!"

He looked at the completely dumbfounded crowd and said.

"I'd like to see if it's their official positions that are truly powerful."

"My lawyer's license is still the most powerful!"
