Chapter 420 - Chapter 420: Chapter 267: How Can We Lose! (Please Subscribe)_2 (2/2)

The presiding judge and the jury wore complex expressions.

Many adjusted their glasses and stared at the document, finding it somewhat incredible.

Under the current circumstances, how could the defendant appear more “arrogant” than the plaintiff?

If the labels “defendant” and “plaintiff” were removed, everyone present would think Lin Chuan was the plaintiff, and Steve was the defendant!

Lin Chuan firmly controlled the rhythm of this court trial.

It wasn’t that he was particularly eloquent.

Rather, the documents he presented were terrifyingly compelling!

So much so that neither lawyer had a chance to speak—at all, including Steve’s lawyer, who had no chance to rebut!

How could he argue?

Argue that the official document was fake?

Contend that the document stating “Sania collaborated with AW to illegally infiltrate the National Weapons Research Institute” was false?

That was completely beyond his area of expertise!

A lawyer should be able to defend a client’s interests, but before Lin Chuan’s breathtaking evidence, they had no chance to exhibit their skills.

“This, this…”

After hearing the translation, Steve found his throat dry and, pointing at Lin Chuan’s evidence with a somewhat hysterical demeanor, exclaimed, “This is impossible!”

“What evidence do you have to prove that my evidence is false?” Lin Chuan smiled and threw the question right back at Steve.

Steve gasped for air, struggling to stabilize his emotions.

His heart was in disarray, panic-stricken.

Sania Weapons Research Company did source data from questionable origins on normal days, but they absolutely wouldn’t dare fabricate the National Weapons Research Institute mentioned by Lin Chuan—that would be suicidal!

So, he knew the document was a total fake!

But!

How could he, Sania Weapons Research Company, prove that the document was fake?

His partner, Yu Qin, had used almost the same tactics when communicating with him—if Lin Chuan couldn’t prove our evidence was fake, then he would definitely lose!

Now, it was the same scenario—

If he couldn’t prove Lin Chuan’s document was fake, then he would definitely lose!

No, he was doomed!

“I request a fair and just appraisal of this evidence, and moreover, our Sania Weapons Research Company will provide corresponding data to prove we never infiltrated the National Weapons Research Institute,” Steve’s voice grew louder.

He already regretted it!

Regretted why he had agreed to Yu Qin’s faulty plan, which now left him trapped, possibly unable to leave this courtroom!

“You should save that statement for the next court trial,” Lin Chuan smiled.

The next court trial?

Steve didn’t understand what that meant.

But Lin Chuan had already turned back to the defendant’s seat and sat quietly.

Meanwhile, the presiding judge and the jury began a tense session of verifying the documents provided by both Lin Chuan and Steve, adjourning the court for thirty minutes.

At the scene,

Zhang Biao, who witnessed everything, laughed heartily, “I don’t see how this lawsuit can be lost? Lin Chuan has really got something, I wasn’t wrong about him!”

Shen Qianqian, Xia Qingqing, and Xinxin all breathed a sigh of relief.

Though they knew Lin Chuan had a good chance of winning, who could predict what sly tricks the cunning Morgan Group might pull?

Shen Qianqian’s smile was radiant, her beautiful eyes twinkling and watery. She gently patted Xinxin’s hand and then grasped it, finding sweat in Xinxin’s palm, whispered softly, “You’re this nervous?”

Xinxin turned over Shen Qianqian’s hand.

Inside Shen Qianqian’s palm was a wad of tissue, soaked with her sweat.

Shen Qianqian grinned and quickly changed the subject, “Look at your sister Qingqing.”

The Little Landlady immediately looked towards Xia Qingqing, only to see that her innocent and beautiful face, her forehead, and the tip of her nose, even under the chilly breeze in December, were beaded with sweat.

“Why are you all looking at me?” Xia Qingqing frowned slightly, puzzled.

“Nothing.”

The Little Landlady replied cheerfully, pulled out a tissue, and gently wiped the tiny beads of sweat on Xia Qingqing’s forehead and nose, then said, “Tonight, I’ll treat you all to a big, big, big meal!”

“Sure!” Xia Qingqing’s eyes sparkled, and she muttered, “I’ve been starving these days.”

“We shouldn’t pop the champagne at halftime; the judge hasn’t pronounced the verdict yet!”

Shen Qianqian cautioned.
