Chapter 243: Chapter 91: Chi Lu the Great Killer in All Directions (Second Update)_3


    Ji Heng squinted his eyes as he threaded the wool-like end of the thread through the nearly invisible eye of the needle.<div>


    Chen Bureau and Jiang He were both astounded by what they saw.


    After threading the needle, Ji Heng finally spoke, “It’s enough for Shaojun to go alone.”


    How could Chen Bureau agree to this? But he did not say much, simply changing the subject, “Miss Bai has switched from liberal arts to science, how are her grades in her senior year of high school now?”


    The parent-teacher conference hadn’t yet taken ce.


    Bai Lian never took the initiative to talk about her scores.


    What Ji Heng remembered were the scores from thest monthly test because Bai Lian’s results had taken him by surprise; he remembered them very clearly, “450, not a high requirement, but enough to meet the Tier 2 university admission line.”<div>


    “Ah?” Chen Bureau was thrown into disarray.


    Tier 2 university admission line?


    He was still nning on pressuring Miss Bai to attend Jiangjing University.


    Wednesday.


    The trial for Zhang Shize’s casemenced.


    At eight o’clock, before the courthouse doors had opened, Zhang’s mother and Yan Lu were already waiting at the entrance, looking eagerly through the doors.


    At nine o’clock, Bai Lian, Jiang Fi, Pu Xiaohan, and Weng Qi arrived.


    At nine twenty, Chi Yundai arrived fashionablyte.


    He was wearing an ordinary ckwyer’s gown today, which he had just bought this past Sunday. There was no specific requirement for the robe for this court session, and he hadn’t asked for his own to be brought over.


    “Chi Lu,” Bai Lian handed him a wooden box, “this is yourwyer’s badge.”


    Chi Yundai casually took it from her, opened it, and saw a ck badge inside. He nced at it and then clipped it onto his left side.<div>


    His attitude was very casual.


    Bai Lian lowered her voice, whispering to Jiang Fi, “Thewyer they’ve hired today seems to be very formidable. Can Chi Lu handle it?”


    “Who did they hire?” Jiang Fi asked with a slight bow of his head, his voice deep.


    “Zhao Jingzhou,” Bai Lian thought for a moment.


    Jiang Fi pondered for a while, then shook his head, “I haven’t heard of him.”


    Bai Lian:


    Forget it.


    Xin Sister stood behind the two, ncing at Chi Yundai’s solemn face as he adjusted hiswyer’s badge, and then back at Bai Lian and the unapproachable-looking Jiang Fi…


    This group of people, howe they seemed both reliable and unreliable at the same time?


    Would they really be able to make it?


    Nine-thirty.


    Everyone arrived at the courtroom.<div>


    Zhang’s mother and Yan Lu finally saw Zhang Shize sitting in the defendant’s seat.


    Having not seen him for almost ten days, Zhang Shize had lost a lot of weight, but he still looked fairly spirited. Upon seeing Zhang’s mother and Yan Lu, he didn’t speak, just sat in silence.


    Zhang’s mother held Yan Lu’s hand, struggling to hold back her tears.


    The group took seats in the spectators’ area on the left side.


    Almost ten o’clock.


    Director Liu and the judge took their ces one after the other.


    Director Liu arrived first; he was walking shoulder-to-shoulder with a young man who was also wearing a ckwyer’s gown. Unlike ordinary robes, this man’s had redpels.


    Director Liu, with his wrinkled face, scanned across Zhang Shize with a gaze as sharp as a serpent’s the moment he entered the courtroom, his mouth curving into a strange arc.


    It sent shivers down one’s spine.


    A few minutester, he finally shifted his gaze, sizing up the attorney sitting at the defendant’s seat—


    It was a middle-aged man he had never seen before.


    Both parties’wyers took their seats.<div>


    On the left in the spectator’s area, Pu Xiaohan clutched Weng Qi’s arm, her voice low and her hand trembling uncontrobly, “Weng Qi, that’s the Invincible General Zhao Jingzhou, isn’t it?”


    Weng Qi’s gaze was still focused on the young man seated in the opposite attorney’s row.


    Most people don’t look exactly the same as in videos, but Weng Qi was certain, “You see the redpels on his clothes, the inte says that he’s the only one with that honor, and it’s his signature.”


    “How did they manage to hire Zhao Jingzhou?” Pu Xiaohan almost eximed as she looked across the room.


    In front, the confidence that Yan Lu and Xin Sister had struggled to build over this period was once again shaken by the conversations of the two.


    The judge sat solemnly in the central seat, a light tap with the gavel confirmed the identities of both parties, and the opening arguments began.


    The attorney Zhao stood up. First, he nced at Chi Yundai’s side.


    Then, picking up a pile of documents, he started his argument, “Your Honor, members of the jury. The used brutally assaulted my client in the underground parking garage, without any prior entanglement, an extremely vile act…”


    Zhao Jingzhou was eloquent andpelling in his argument.


    He listed a series of interpersonal rtions between the two parties and evidence of Liu Xinming’s charity work in daily life.


    Every word he spoke was clearly transmitted to everyone’s ears.


    On the left in the spectator’s area, with each word they heard, Yan Lu and Zhang’s mother tensed a little more, their hearts hanging in the bnce uncertainly.<div>


    Even without facing Zhao Jingzhou head-on, even separated by several meters, even with no eye contact, they clearly felt the pressureing from Zhao Jingzhou.


    “As expected of the Invincible General…” Weng Qi took a deep breath.


    Absolute dominating presence.


    Manywyers are overwhelmed by their opponent’s presence right from the start; at that point, the oue is nearly certain.


    Yan Lu and others anxiously looked at Chi Yundai sitting before them, hoping he could withstand Zhao Jingzhou’s pressure.


    “Don’t worry,” Zhang’s mother, not wanting to pressure Chi Yundai, said with a trembling voice, “no matter the oue, we are very grateful that you are willing to defend my son.”


    Across the room, Director Liu’spanion spoke in a low, mocking tone, looking derisively across the room: “Director Liu, they’re scared on the other side. You can rest assured, with Attorney Zhao here, Zhang Shize is as good as dead.”


    Director Liu uttered a “hmm” and his shadowy gaze slid across Zhang Shize, settling on the attorney opposite.


    Chi Yundai fixated his gaze on Zhao Jingzhou.


    He didn’t pick up any documents, waiting until the other side had finished exining thest piece of legition. Then he raised his hand, “Nonsense! I’ve told you in ss, a qualifiedwyer must treat eachw with precision. Article 233 of the Criminal Law was just revisedst month by me; have you even studied criminalwtely? Your brain seemspletely empty.”
