Chapter 683 - The Court Is in Session (2/2)

“Enough. There’s no need for us to continue this conversation.”

Bai Yuquan was really good at befriending people. Xiao Luo did not want to keep up with the conversation any further, lest he actually befriended the man for real.

…

…

The next day, Su Li and the Bais met in court for the issue of Su Xiaobei’s custody. Of course, this was not a public hearing, so not a single person aside from the immediate family from both sides were allowed to step foot in the court.

The court, resplendent and charged with dignity and authority, was silent beyond compare. One could hear the sound of a pin hitting the floor.

Xiao Luo, Su Li, Shen Qingyan, and the female lawyer Ning Wanxiu were on one side. Bai Yuquan, Bai Xuenan, Bai Ying, and Bai Guoxiong were on the other. It was clear who was on each camp.

“Are you confident you can win this case?” Xiao Luo asked Su Li, concerned.

Su Li nodded lightly. “Yeah.”

“All right, then. All the best. I don’t know what trump card the other side has, but you’re my wife so I trust you.” Xiao Luo reached out a hand and tapped her nose.

Su Li blushed. She felt put on the spot by such an intimate gesture under the gaze of so many people.

Not long after, the presiding judge and the judge walked out.

Before taking his seat, the presiding judge walked over and respectfully exchanged greetings with Xiao Luo. He spoke to the man, all smiles, “Mr. Xiao, you’re here!”

He had had quite the scare last night. Right to his face, Xiao Luo had stomped a large hole into the floor in his house. He had asked for only one thing, and that was for him to try this case fairly and justly. In the face of such a monster, the thought of calling the police had not even crossed his mind. The police would definitely not bother with a monster like this. They cared more about their lives and the lives of their families. The judge would not be biased this time, and he would definitely try this case fairly.

“Do you remember what I asked of you?” Xiao Luo asked tepidly.

“I do,” the presiding judge frantically nodded as he responded.

Xiao Luo said, “Good that you do. Go take your seat, then.”

“Okay.”

The presiding judge nodded in acknowledgment, and then he threw a look to Bai Guoxiong on the other side that gave away how put upon he felt. He then walked over to take his seat.

“Out with it, Xiao Luo. Come clean and tell me just what kind of a person you are. Why was the presiding judge so courteous and respectful when he spoke to you?” Shen Qingyan was really curious.

“It’s nothing. I just knocked on his door last night, is all,” Xiao Luo reported the facts as they were.

Shen Qingyan asked in horror, “Did you threaten him?”

“I did. I told him that I’d report him to the Judicial Disciplinary Committee if he did not try this case justly. This was my threat to him,” Xiao Luo responded, blithe in his carelessness.
