148 An Incredible Fea (2/2)
He was pulling out all the stops, and seeing an educated gentleman ranting and raving left everyone surprised and dumbfounded. It was a sight none could accept.
When he saw what was happening on the trial's live broadcast, Ge Zhongtian almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He could never have imagined Fu Heyu outright cursing and swearing in the majestic and hallowed realm of the courtroom.
The comments section online was also in unprecedented turmoil.
”The great Lawyer Fu has lost his composure and lashed out. This is hilarious. Hahaha!”
”I swear on my uncle. This is like a live reenactment of Stephen Chow's 'Justice, My Foot'!”
”Right, right, right. Lawyer Fu resembles the hermaphrodite, who was exasperated. What a classic.”
Meanwhile, at the café, Gu Qianlin stared wide-eyed with a stunned expression at Xiao Luo. Everyone thought that Zhang Dashan was responsible for all this, but the real culprit was sitting right in front of her. To corner the great lawyer Fu Heyu like this, and to do it through a mouthpiece, Xiao Luo had some fearsome tricks up his sleeve.
Meanwhile, back at the courtroom, Fu Heyu was continuing his endless tirade of expletives at Zhang Dashan.
”You son of a bitch, I'll f*cking #￥%...”
All kinds of spicy obscenities were pouring out of him in a torrent, casting a black shadow over the sacred dignity of the majestic courtroom.
The presiding judge and the other judges' faces grew darker and darker, and their eyebrows knit together tightly.
”Dong, dong, dong!”
The presiding judge hammered down hard with his gavel, then he shouted out loudly, ”Attorney Fu, please be silent. Silence!”
”I'll silence you, motherf*cker!”
Fu Heyu had utterly lost his head. Without thinking, he swore at the presiding judge. As the words left his mouth, his head quickly cleared up, and he realized that he made a grave mistake. As he looked more closely, he saw that the presiding judge's face was frightfully dark. The two judges flanking him stared at him unkindly, as though they wanted to chew him out.
Fu Heyu's blood froze in his veins as he felt like the world was collapsing around him. With a mournful expression, he said dejectedly, ”Presiding judge, I...No, I didn't mean it.”
”Bailiff, chase this depraved man out of here. He is in blatant contempt of court and has insulted the judicial authority!” The presiding judge raised a hand to point at Fu Heyu, shouting coldly.
”Yes, sir.”
Two solemn bailiffs walked in lockstep toward Fu Heyu. They grabbed him on his left and right and dragged him out of the courtroom with an impassive expression.
”No, presiding judge, give me another chance. Please give me another chance, presiding judge.”
Fu Heyu began to wail, his face ashen. He knew that he no longer had a future. Having his career ruined by a nobody who did not even have a law license was a tough pill to swallow.
The presiding judge did not show Fu Heyu any mercy. He merely waved the distraught lawyer away in irritation. The two bailiffs did not delay any further, and they dragged Fu Heyu out of the courtroom like a dead dog.
Chen Jianbai was left alone at the defendant's table, and he was utterly panicked, looking anxiously toward the courtroom's exit. He would never have thought that the great lawyer Fu Heyu, on whom he was relying, would be evicted from the trial!
In the audience gallery, Fang Changlei's face was sullen. The public trial was moving farther and farther away from the result he'd hoped for. He gritted his teeth and balled both his hands up into fists.
On the other hand, Xu Guansong, Lin Chongdong, and the others were smiling with glee. Zhang Dashan had given them a hugely pleasant surprise. Even though his language was crude and vulgar, he'd managed to provoke a skilled lawyer like Fu Heyu and get him kicked out of the courtroom. It was an incredible feat!
