"Mrs . Zhou, there's no point in this lawsuit, the defendant's lawyer… is my teacher, my mentor, do you understand? He was my professor while I studied in the United States . "

"What?!" Mrs . Zhou also lost her cool .

"Dennis Wu is incredibly skilled, we don't need to go on with this suit . We should just admit defeat, we're wasting our time with it anyways . Plus, if the defendant has the ability to hire someone like Dennis Wu, it means that she has an impressive background, and you guys should be careful and not piss them off . " Zhang Shaochang was nice enough to warn them .

"Stop spreading rumors; we already looked into her background . She's just a head nurse at a hospital . Aside from the fact that she's the illegitimate daughter of Huo Zhenghai, there's nothing else special about her . Plus, I heard that she already cut off all ties with the Huo family, so why would they take care of her? I didn't pay you to babble nonsense, you have to win this lawsuit for us, or else… we will make you pay for it . "

Mrs . Zhou insisted on going on with the trial, and she even threatened Zhang Shaochang…

"Your Honor, I'm ready, can we start?" Dennis Wu spoke perfect Chinese; he was elegant, gentle, and polite .

Huo Mian looked at Dennis Wu gratefully, "Thank you in advance, Uncle Wu . " (TL: the polite way of referring to a guy a lot older than you in China)

She was the calmest defendant that Dennis Wu had ever seen in his 57 years of law practice . She even called him 'uncle', which was really cute .

He nodded at Huo Mian to show his understanding .

On the other hand, Zhang Shaochang was beginning to sweat . He knew that if he lost a trial with no chance of winning to begin with, it would affect his future career as a lawyer . As a lawyer, the higher your success rate was, the more valuable you became . He had worked as a lawyer for almost 8 years now and barely lost . Therefore, his reputation had been pretty good, doing especially well these few years . However, if he lost today, life as a lawyer would definitely become harder for him .



Moreover, the lawyer of the opposing party was his mentor and he was defending such a scumbag client; if his peers found out, he would also be in big trouble .

No matter which perspective Zhang Shaochang looked at this trial from, he still thought it would be best to give up . Sadly, Mrs . Zhou didn't .

She was so aggressive that Zhang Shaochang had no choice but to bite the bullet…

"Next, let's have the plaintiff's attorney cross-examine the defendant," the judge announced .

Faced with pressure, Zhang Shaochang slowly walked up to Huo Mian . He took a deep breath, "Ms . Huo, I have a few questions I would like to ask you . Please think carefully before answering them . "

"Okay . " Huo Mian's voice was clean and crisp, creating a ripple in Su Yu's heart…



"Please tell me where you were at 11:20 PM on September 6th . "

"The Seductive Fox Nightclub . "

"With whom and what were you doing?"

"I went to pick up my friend, Zhu Lingling, because she was drunk . "

"Then what happened?" Zhang Shaochang asked .



Huo Mian stopped for a second before slowly replying, "I saw Lingling in Zhou Guangming's arms . She didn't respond when I called her name and was completely unconscious . Therefore, I suspected that she was drugged . "

"Allow me to interject, Zhu Lingling might have been unconscious because she was drunk, you can't assume that it was because my client drugged her, that's not fair . "

Dennis Wu raised his hand immediately, "Objection, your honor . The plaintiff's attorney cut off my client, which may cause deviation in her memory of that night, and result in an incomplete recollection of what happened . It's unspoken inducement . "

"Sustained, the plaintiff's attorney must let the defendant finish before asking additional questions . "

Zhang Shaochang's expression changed slightly, and he felt even more pressured…

Dennis Wu looked at Huo Mian kindly, "Please continue . "

"Lingling usually has a high tolerance for alcohol, and she would never drink to the point of losing consciousness . Plus, she went with her boyfriend that night, how did she end up in Zhou Guangming's lap, with her clothes all over the place? I saw that Zhou Guangming's hands were doing inexplicable things to her body, so I became angry and went up to stop him . Then we got into a conflict . "
