Cai Shengnan had told the court early on that she would plead not guilty in Luo Jialan’s case, so she certainly wouldn’t agree to Gu Nianzhi’s charges
She stood up frohtly to the people in the courtrooe looked at the documents they had presented and asked, “May I call your witnesses?”
The witnesses that Cai Shengnan and the others brought were Auntie Xing and Auntie You They were still waiting to be called in the roo to the procedure, Huo Guanchen was the prosecution witness, so he should leave so now The defense laould call their witnesses in to testify
However, Cai Shengnan changed her mind at the last minute
She shook her head and sate the prosecution’s first witness, Mr General Huo Guanchen”
The judge thought about it for a in”
Cai Shengnan lowered her head and organized her documents and folders She took out a yellow, translucent folder and held it in her hands She walked to Huo Guanchen’s witness stand
“hello, Mr General Huo” Cai Shengnan addressed hi Huo Guanchen’s military rank Herin fear in front of Huo Guanchen, as if she was afraid of hihtly taken aback
She had co to e to give the people in the court a preconceived impression of Huo Guanchen’s superiority, and affect their perception of himent of his testimony
Gu Nianzhi put the back of her hand to her lips and coughed lightly
The cough was very jarring in the quiet courtroonan turned around abruptly and looked in the direction of Gu Nianzhi
Her expression was sharp and her gaze was piercing Her cowardly and timid demeanor froed
Gu Nianzhi raised her eyebrows at her “I’m sorry, but my throat was itchy Please don’t mind, lawyer Cai”
Her interruption had completely destroyed the respectfulness and fearfulness towards Huo Guanchen that Cai Shengnan had feigned earlier
Cai Shengnan felt a little uneasy when she turned around to face Huo Guanchen She couldn’t act as ti She flipped through the folder in her hand and asked nonchalantly, “Mr Huo Guanchen, ?”
Huo Guanchen: ” … ”
Gu Nianzhi quickly stood up “Objection The defense attorney’s questions concerns the privacy ofto do with this case”
The judge tapped the gavel “Objection sustained Defendant’s lawyer, please be nan s after your brother, didn’t you?”
Huo Guanchen’s face darkened, and he didn’t speak
Gu Nianzhi continued, “Objection If the defendant’s lawyer continues with this paparazzi-like interrogation, I’ to file a coency”
Cai Shengnan didn’t wait for the judge to speak and quickly said, “Your honor, this matter is also closely related to this case I can prove it”
The judge looked down at the information and evidence that she had submitted in advance and nodded “Defense lawyer, please quickly get to the point”
Cai Shengnan looked at Gu Nianzhi with a smile and looked away She looked at Huo Guanchen and said, “If you don’t answer, I’ll take it as your acquiescence”
Huo Guanchen nodded lightly “Yes,first It’s no secret”
Cai Shengnan nodded “After that, you got to know Ms Song Jinning and started pursuing her At one point, Ms Song Jinning swayed between you and your brother… ”
“Objection” Her expression serious, Gu Nianzhi stood up again “The defendant’s lawyer’s question was already defaht to sue the defendant’s lawyer”
“Lawyer Gu, I have evidence for every word I say Are you obstructing justice by doing this?” Cai Shengnan raised her eyebrows and looked extreot the evidence to prove that o? Did you open your heavenly eyes, or did you use a tio back in time and see it with your own eyes? Maybe you even made a little video? Can you share it with us?”
Gu Nianzhi retorted eloquently to Cai Shengnan without letting her guard down at all
Cai Shengnan said calmly, “I heard about it from someone who knew them It’s up to you whether you believe it or not But Huo Guanyuan’s belongings contain a love letter he wrote to Song Jinning You can’t deny that, can you?”
After she beated around the bush, she focused on the love letters Huo Guanyuan had written to Song Jinning
The love letters had been exposed during the Bai Jinyi case
It was obvious that Cai Shengnan was still using the “love letters” to argue
Gu Nianzhi smiled “I’m sorry, but I do have to deny it “Lawyer Cai didn’t personally witness the trial, so she probably doesn’t know that I had already refuted the love letters Because the letters didn’t say so, it was impossible to tell who they were addressed to, but you bla on my client out of the blue It looks like you’ve been too deeply influenced by Bai Jinyi and Luo Jialan, because that’s what they think”
“Is that so? You can continue lying to yourself, lawyer Gu, but you can’t expect us to lie to ourselves like you Those love letters were actually written by Huo Guanyuan to Song Jinning Otherwise, ould your witness have been so furious when he saw the love letters? Why would he divorce Song Jinning even though Song Jinning was seriously ill at the tinan closed her see “Your honor, the truth is that Mr Huo Guanchen couldn’t stand the auous relationshi+p between his ex-wife and his brother, so he filed for divorce”
