Ten minutes, neither short nor long, were the longest and most agonizing ten minutes that everyone present had ever experienced.

On the plaintiff's side.

Su Lin's face turned pale, her eyes filled with guilt, and she kept glancing towards the entrance of the courtroom, silently praying that Lin Chu would not show up.

At this moment, she was completely free of any other moral constraints, leaving only the desire to win.

When it comes to money, all relationships are meaningless!

Compared to her panic, Song Yuhong appeared much calmer.

Instead of being stunned, he was seriously organizing the evidence and documents in his hands, as if he was preparing a defense.

It appeared that there was absolutely nothing unusual about the proceedings, just like a normal court hearing.

Although Zhu Yuanyuan lacks experience, her strengths are her strong adaptability, quick learning ability, and keen observation skills.

Seeing that Song Lu was calm and composed, she followed suit and prepared for her court defense.

While the three of them were each expressing their own opinions, they were actually secretly keeping track of what was happening.

Thump!

The female judge tapped on the table, drawing everyone's attention.

He casually put the documents in his hand aside and frowned impatiently.

"We have given the defendant ten minutes, but the defendant has not appeared, nor has he reported to the court by phone or through normal channels. The court will be rescheduled for a new hearing."

"So, the defendant has voluntarily waived its right to respond to the lawsuit."

Upon hearing this, even Song Yuhong, who had maintained the calmest demeanor, could hardly contain her excitement.

The original amount was ten million, but according to the agreement, her lawyer's fee was three million!

This also involves the issue of converting some fixed assets into cash, but in reality, the amount of cash received will not be that much.

But now, Lin Chu will not appear in court, and may even have died in an accident.

All the assets of this singer who has regained his brilliance in the music scene will be inherited by his wife, Su Lin, with whom he is still married!

Based on the asset size she gathered from prior research, 30% of the legal fees could very well amount to tens of millions!

Even before the trial, he was already closely associated with Su Lin!

Su Lin, a wealthy woman with tens of millions in assets and song copyrights, will be hired to handle any case she encounters, and they will sign long-term contracts with her.

This income is more than enough for her to truly enter the upper class!

Su Lin was starting to experience tinnitus; both ears were ringing, making it difficult for her to hear what the female judge was saying.

His gaze was intense, fixed intently on the courtroom entrance.

At this moment, the judge's last ten minutes have passed, and the next step is the court's public announcement.

Lin Chu really can't come!

He would never give up the court hearing if there was even the slightest chance, given how much Lin Chu hated him before, and he would definitely arrive on time.

Even if he can't come in person, he will definitely arrange for his legal team to come.

Not only is Lin Chu absent, but his legal team is also missing.

All the results show that the cooperation agreement between myself and the logistics company has indeed achieved its purpose!

Lin Chu is dead!

Next, there is one last hurdle to overcome, just as Su Lin had instructed her before the trial: she must withstand the police's questioning!

After all, Lin Chu is dead; she was the biggest beneficiary and also the one with the strongest motive for committing the crime.

Even a traffic accident that seems completely undetectable will inevitably arouse the suspicion and investigation of the police!

Although Lin Chu himself has no parents and no one will inherit his property, the most troublesome thing is that Lin Chu has a good brother, Wang Yang!

Wang Yang would absolutely not accept the conclusion that he died in a traffic accident.

They will do everything they can to investigate her connection to this traffic case.

When that time comes, you'll have to grit your teeth and hold on, and absolutely not expose the slightest flaw so the police can catch you!

As long as we can get past the police, that final hurdle, then everything will be a success!

Just as Su Lin and Song Yuhong were secretly excited and delighted, they couldn't help but look at each other, wanting to celebrate ahead of time.

Sudden!!

Bang!

The courtroom doors were pushed open by a group of police officers, instantly interrupting the female judge's impending verdict.

A stern and authoritative police officer looked at the female judge and spoke with unwavering integrity.

"Please pause the court proceedings!"

"We have a case here that requires the cooperation of the plaintiff, Ms. Su Lin, in the investigation!"

"The defendant, Mr. Lin Chu, has some circumstances and is temporarily unable to attend the court hearing, nor is it necessary for him to attend!"

"Until the investigation results are released, Ms. Su Lin is a suspect in our police investigation."

Upon seeing the police suddenly burst in, Song Yuhong and Su Lin's expressions changed simultaneously. They looked at each other in fear, their eyes filled with questions.

The truth came out so quickly?!

How did the police arrive so quickly?!

And they even interrupted the court hearing without regard for the consequences?

What on earth is going on?!

At that moment, the presiding judge also frowned with displeasure as he looked at the police officer who had suddenly barged in and interrupted the trial.

"Since when did you, the investigators, have the right to directly interrupt our court proceedings?"

"Any related cases unrelated to this case can only be investigated and questioned after this case is concluded!"

"You must leave now!"

"The courtroom is a solemn place; no disturbances are permitted!"

Upon hearing this, Su Lin immediately realized what was happening.

However, she was still in a state of panic from hiring someone to commit murder, and she didn't care about dignity or rules at all. She suddenly stood up and faced the police directly.

"What right do you have to arrest me!"

"Where's Lin Chu?! What kind of scheme is he up to now?!"

"I had no idea..."

Before Su Lin could even shout, Song Yuhong's expression changed drastically. She quickly pulled Su Lin back and whispered instructions.

"It's not your turn to speak. Just listen to the judge's explanation!"

"How dare you go against the police?"

"Shut up!"

"I told you, don't say anything, especially not anything to refute or prove yourself. They haven't even mentioned Lin Chu's accident yet. The more you say, the more mistakes you'll make, and you might expose yourself!"

The presiding judge also looked very grim.

The court and the police belong to two different systems. When a court is in session, it will certainly not allow anyone to just swagger in and disrupt the trial!

However, at that moment, the upright and incorruptible police officer directly took out the stamped document in his hand.

"Your Honor, the case we need to ask Ms. Su Lin to return to cooperate with the investigation is related to this case!"

"Su Lin is suspected of hiring someone to commit murder, and the target is her husband, Lin Chu!"

"We have solid evidence to prove her guilt. Asking her to come back with us to cooperate with the investigation is already being very polite!"

"This case should be retried on a later date when both parties are present!"
