Translator: 549690339

Zhang Meng was lost for words, truly silenced by Song Zhizhi’s words.

Song Zhizhi did not bother with Zhang Meng’s emotions, and respectfully said to the Judgment Chief, “Your Honor, I am not trying to be willfully disruptive, nor do I intend to intentionally disrupt your judgment, as the opposing lawyer claimed. I am merely defending my innocence and aiming to present the truth. The reason why I was unable to present my valid evidence in advance was due to time constraints. To save everyone’s time, I had to make this somewhat abrupt decision. I kindly ask for your understanding, Your Honor.”

Song Zhizhi’s remarks left the Judgment Chief somewhat hesitant.

He turned his head to the tribunal, exchanging looks.

The Judgment Chief then said, “The defendant may submit the evidence. We will determine whether your evidence is valid to be used as a basis for your upcoming plea of innocence in this trial.”

“Yes.” Song Zhizhi had prepared his compilation in advance, which was placed in a document that Wen Tian handed to the Judgment Chief.

The Judgment Chief received it, then announced to everyone, “The tribunal and I will retire to review the evidence provided by the defendant.”

Upon completion, the Judgment Chief and the tribunal stood up and left.

As soon as they left, whispers began to fill the courtroom.

Wen Tian turned to Song Zhizhi, asking, “Do you have evidence?”

“Yes. I’m sorry, but due to many external factors, I can’t tell you in advance.”

“That’s fine.” Wen Tian shook his head, knowing that with Song Zhizhi’s stature and the fact that he was called in to defend, it certainly wouldn’t be easy as it appeared on the surface. He was in awe, “I never thought you would leave Lawyer Zhang speechless. I’ve seen many cases involving Lawyer Zhang. Every time, he would speak eloquently, even making a female lawyer cry once.”

Song Zhizhi chuckled, “So, you’re feeling a bit triumphant, aren’t you?”

Wen Tian was taken aback, then blushed and admitted, “A little.”

He felt a bit disrespectful towards his senior, yet couldn’t suppress the tiny surge of joy within.

After all… Zhang Meng was overly arrogant.

Song Zhizhi and Wen Tian chatted casually, and the atmosphere was fairly relaxed.

However, Nie Xiaofei from the plaintiffs bench was getting restless. She did not know what evidence Song Zhizhi had, but his composed demeanor made her anxious. At this moment, in the court, without her mother’s guidance, she was clueless about what to do.

She couldn’t help but look over to the audience.

Seeing no signs of her mother in the audience, leaving only Yi Wenhan, she felt even more panicked.

She looked at Yi Wenhan, mouthing a question to him.

Yi Wenhan shook his head. He also didn’t know where her mother went at such a critical moment?

She had left abruptly after receiving a phone call and had not yet returned. If Song Zhizhi had real evidence…. A chill ran down her spine, dare not to imagine the consequences.

Song Zhizhi observed Nie Xiaofei and Yi Wenhan’s small actions without a trace during his conversation with Wen Tian, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

At the beginning of the trial, he had instructed his younger brother, Song Zhidao, to make Nie Wenzhi leave after the trial had started. Who knew what kind of tricks she would pull, maybe even faint on the spot, which would result in the suspension of the trial again. He didn’t want to linger more than necessary.

Although she left a bit later than he had anticipated, probably because Nie Wenzhi didn’t want to leave. However, she couldn’t resist a personal summon from Qin Ciling.

Luckily, Qin Ciling doted on Song Zhidao. If Song Zhidao acted cute and sweet, Qin Ciling would unconditionally do as asked. With just a small excuse, getting Nie Wenzhi to leave was a piece of cake.

At this moment, Nie Wenzhi must be on pins and needles!
