Chapter 421 - Chapter 421: Chapter 268: Escalation! (Please Subscribe) (2/2)
The representative from the Sania Weapons Research Company, Steve, sat rigidly, his eyes hollow, his breath hot and hurried as he exhaled through his nose.
His lawyer, on the other hand, was wide-eyed, not knowing what to say!
This experienced lawyer just couldn’t understand how there was no stage for him in the courtroom!
More importantly!
Their contact with the outside was restricted!
Generally speaking, during a recess, plaintiffs are entitled to contact external parties, as long as they don’t break the law.
But outside the rest area, law enforcement officers stood erect like prison guards, took away his communication devices, and occasionally checked on Steve and others, as if afraid they would run away.
To them, this was a very dangerous signal!
Alas—
Steve sighed deeply!
Honestly, he wanted to blow up, to vent his anger by smashing everything he could in the rest area!
If this were in Sania, no one would dare stop him.
But here, in Anling Court, it wasn’t his home court, and the court officers here wouldn’t indulge him, giving not even a bit of face; he had to restrain his behavior.
His only option was to transform his rage into a deep sigh.
Humiliated, and mixed with a sense of despair!
The thirty-minute recess, with the constant blowing of the little cold breeze, seemed so prolonged, making Steve feel as if he had lived through a century.
He desperately wanted to contact Yu Qin and rebuke her, “What the hell have you done?”
Or contact the company in Sania.
Tell his old employer that he wanted to go home.
Steve had a premonition that he might not be able to leave Anling for a lengthy period.
Thud!
Steve somewhat zombie-like returned to the courtroom, and as the judge’s gavel fell, Steve finally snapped back to reality, gazing hatefully at Lin Chuan in the defendant’s seat.
At that moment, Lin Chuan sat leisurely, his hands interlocked and resting on the table, his back not perfectly straight but appearing very natural, his face not showing tension but a slight, faint smile.
Lin Chuan gave an impression.
—If you give him a backrest, he might at any moment cross his legs in a reclining position, relaxed as if he were lounging on a sofa at home.
Yes, a very relaxed feeling.
This man was strange, even in a solemn and grave place like the court, he managed to appear so naturally relaxed, even to some extent treating it like his home!
“F*ck!”
Steve mentally cursed at Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan seemed to have the Mind Reading Technique, casting him a glance and slightly lifting his eyebrows, his face innocent.
Steve was so angry he was itching.
As a result, in the second round of evidence submission, the debate between both parties was handled by his lawyer.
