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

Liu Bo's Weibo.

That short line of text was like a resounding slap in the face.

It was slapped across the face of everyone in the public welfare department office.

Qin Kexin's hand holding the phone was trembling.

The excitement and exhilaration that had just ignited on Li Zhe and Wang Hao's faces.

It was extinguished completely by being doused with a bucket of ice water from head to toe.

An Ran and Wen Yi's faces were deathly pale.

Deputy Director of the Municipal Bureau.

These four words carry immense weight.

The pressure was so intense that the young people's faces turned pale, and they could barely breathe.

That's not a match for them.

That was something that even they, as junior lawyers, could not see the top of.

Now, this being has declared war on them by name.

"Chen... Lawyer Chen..." Li Zhe's lips trembled; he wanted to say something.

It’s over.

This was the only thought in everyone's mind.

Chen Ye took the phone from Qin Kexin's hand.

He glanced at the warning on the screen.

"Are you in such a hurry already?"

Old Deng got his tail stepped on and barked quite loudly.

Chen Ye showed no sign of panic.

He couldn't help but chuckle softly.

That laugh was like a reassuring pill, hitting the hearts of everyone present.

Qin Kexin suddenly looked up at him.

Chen Ye casually placed his phone back on the table.

"What's the panic?"

"A dog will only jump over a wall and bite people when it's cornered."

"The more he shouts like that, the more it proves our 39,000 words."

Every word pierced his lungs.

"He was in pain, he was scared."

Chen Ye walked to Qin Kexin's side.

He picked up the defense statement that had just been printed out on her desk, which was prepared to be submitted to the Supreme Court.

It was stuffed directly into a file folder.

"Kexin".

"immediately"

"Send this document to the Supreme Court."

Qin Kexin was stunned.

Everyone was stunned.

They thought Chen Ye would temporarily avoid confrontation and devise a countermeasure.

No one expected that his choice would be to confront them head-on.

"But...Deputy Director Liu..." An Ran said softly.

"He's nobody."

Chen Ye interrupted her directly.

[Are you using your official power to intimidate me?]

[I've knelt enough in my past life, so in this life, nobody can change my mind!]

Qin Kexin looked into Chen Ye's eyes, which were burning with flames.

All the fear and panic in my heart miraculously disappeared.

She nodded emphatically.

"good!"

She grabbed the file folder, turned around, and left.

Watching Qin Kexin's resolute back.

The remaining people in the office also seemed to have been injected with a surge of energy.

Yes.

What are you afraid of?

If even Attorney Chen isn't afraid, what do they have to be afraid of!

……

The next few days.

The entire Juncheng Law Firm was shrouded in a tense atmosphere, as if a storm was brewing.

Liu Bo's Weibo post was like a knife hanging over everyone's heads.

Public opinion has also begun to become more complex.

Although most netizens still support Chen Ye.

However, some official media outlets and so-called "legal influencers" have started to stir up trouble.

"Exploiting individual cases to hijack the judiciary."

"A lawyer's duty is to follow procedures, not to incite public opinion."

They're throwing all sorts of accusations at Juncheng Law Firm like they're free.

In the public welfare department's office, Li Zhe and Wang Hao no longer dared to browse Weibo.

He simply buried himself in organizing the case files over and over again.

Anran and Wenyi would sit and stare blankly, holding their water cups every day.

These little idiots, they're all waiting like they're waiting for the lottery to be drawn.

[If the waters of officialdom aren't stirred up, how will the fish rise to the surface? Just wait and see.]

Chen Ye leaned back in the boss's chair, his feet propped up on the table, leisurely playing with his phone.

This sense of oppression was nothing more than an appetizer for him.

He is waiting.

Finally, on the afternoon of the fifth day.

A black sedan with a special license plate stopped downstairs at Juncheng Law Firm.

Two middle-aged men in uniforms, with solemn expressions, walked into the law firm.

They called out that they wanted to see Chen Ye.

Liu Huan personally accompanied them into the public welfare department's office.

At that moment, Li Zhe and Wang Hao almost slipped off their chairs.

Someone's here.

Are they here to arrest someone?

One of the men took out a letter stamped with a bright red seal from his briefcase.

He didn't hand it to Chen Ye, but placed it in the center of the desk.

"Attorney Chen Ye."

"This is the Supreme Court, regarding your submission."

Formal reply to the defense's request for a public trial in the case of Hao Bin's intentional homicide.

In the office, you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone stopped breathing.

A reply from the Supreme People's Court...?

Chen Ye slowly put his feet off the table.

Pick up that thin document.

The envelope was torn open.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on that piece of paper.

Chen Ye's gaze swept over them from top to bottom.

[Supreme Court Circuit Court?]

[Yes, Liu Huan's media barrage is fierce; it's practically pierced the sky.]

Now, it's not that I'm begging them to hold a trial; it's that they won't give me an explanation, and I'm completely embarrassed.

[Awesome! This is a total stomp of winning!]

He casually handed the document to Qin Kexin, who was almost petrified beside him.

Qin Kexin took it with trembling hands.

When I saw the words written in black and white on the paper, I froze.

"Our court has reviewed the case and will conduct a further review..."

"It has been decided to initiate a retrial of Hao Bin's intentional homicide case."

"Given the significant social impact of this case."

The evidence is highly controversial and involves core procedural issues…

Qin Kexin couldn't continue reading; her voice began to tremble, and her eyes welled up with tears.

Li Zhe snatched the document and shouted out the last sentence!

"To ensure the fairness, impartiality, and transparency of the trial, this retrial is being conducted."

The case will be heard in open court by the Second Circuit Court of the Supreme Court!

"boom--!"

The office erupted in chaos!

An Ran couldn't hold back any longer, covered her face, and burst into tears.

Wen Yi slumped into a chair, tears silently streaming down her face.

More than a decade of injustice, more than a decade of waiting.

At this moment, a door to the light was finally smashed open!

Qin Kexin also turned around, not wanting anyone to see her loss of composure.

Only Chen Ye remained seated there.

He looked at the group of young people who were crying tears of joy.

A faint smile played on his lips.

The two men who delivered the letter.

He was also affected by this emotion, and a rare gentleness appeared on his face.

They looked at Chen Ye, the young man who had stirred up the entire world.

half a month later.

New City, the Second Circuit Court of the Supreme People's Court.

The morning sunlight shone on this solemn and majestic building.

It reflects a cold and sacred light.

The entrance to the courthouse was already packed with reporters from major media outlets who had rushed to the scene.

Long guns and short cannons were aimed at everyone who entered the courthouse.

A black minivan slowly pulled up at the entrance.

The car door opened.

Chen Ye, dressed in a lawyer's robe, was the first to step down.

He wore gold-rimmed glasses, had a refined appearance, but possessed an undeniable air of roguishness.

The moment he stepped out of the car, all the cameras were pointed at him.

The flashbulbs were going off like crazy.

"Attorney Chen! Are you confident about this court hearing?"

"Attorney Chen! I heard that Deputy Director Liu will also be attending the hearing. Is there anything you'd like to say to him?"

"Attorney Chen!"

Chen Ye ignored all the noise.

He turned around and held onto the car door.

An elderly couple with gray hair and hunched backs.

He stepped out of the car, trembling.

They were Hao Bin's parents.

The two elderly people were wearing the most presentable clothes they had ever worn, yet they were still faded from washing.

They looked at the magnificent building before them.

Those cloudy eyes were filled with awe, tension, and hope.

Qin Kexin, An Ran, Li Zhe, and Wang Hao, all dressed in lawyer's robes, got out of the car.

This is no longer a mock trial rehearsal.

This is real; it determines a person's life, death, honor, and disgrace.

The battlefield that determines the fate of a family.

Look at this spectacle, it's like Judgment Day.

Hao Bin's parents had been waiting for this day their whole lives.

Today, I'll show you what it means to turn the world upside down with one hand!

Chen Ye protected Hao Bin's parents, with bailiffs clearing the way.

I walked through the frenzied crowd of media people toward the courtroom.

Inside the courtroom, the high dome and cold chairs made the air feel exceptionally heavy.

The gallery was already full.

There were media reporters, as well as legal experts and students.

There were also some people whose identities were unknown, but who exuded a powerful aura.

Chen Ye's team took their seats in the defense section.

Hao Bin's parents were seated in the first row of the family section.

The elderly mother held her husband's arm tightly in her hand.

His knuckles were taut and white, and his body trembled slightly from tension.

Time passed by, second by second.

When the clock on the wall points to nine o'clock.

The side door to the courtroom opened.

Three judges, dressed in robes and wearing national emblems on their chests, walked in.

The presiding judge, who was in his fifties, had a resolute face and an imposing presence.

He walked to the judge's seat and sat down.

The entire room fell silent instantly.

"Thump!"

The gavel fell.

The crisp sound echoed throughout the courtroom and resonated in everyone's hearts.

"Everyone stand up."

The presiding judge's authoritative voice echoed in every corner.

Everyone stood up.

Chen Ye raised his head and looked at the judge's bench.

His gaze passed over the solemn judge.

He turned towards the prosecutor's seat not far away.

There sat two prosecutors from the provincial prosecutor's office.

Behind them was the first row of the audience section.

A man in a police uniform, with a dazzling police rank insignia on his shoulder, sat upright.

It was Liu Bo.

He was also looking at Chen Ye.

Their gazes collided violently in mid-air.

Liu Bo's face displayed an official, procedural seriousness.

But Chen Ye saw through the bravado beneath that serious face, realizing that it was all just bluster.

[Old Deng, I've finally seen you.]

"Court is now in session."

The presiding judge's voice rang out again.
