Outside the courthouse, a large number of independent media outlets and journalists, having gotten wind of the situation, flocked to the scene.
Click, click!
Various flashes of light continuously photographed Su Lin and her lawyer as they got out of the car, and a swarm of cameras rushed up and surrounded the three of them.
When Su Lin saw that there were so many media outlets still waiting at the courthouse entrance, she became somewhat timid and retreated repeatedly.
However, Song Yuhong and Zhu Yuanyuan, who were behind her, were even less willing to face the reporters.
Soon the three of them had nowhere to retreat and were directly blocked in front of them. They were bombarded with a barrage of questions.
"Ms. Su Lin, could you tell us about the progress of your divorce case with Mr. Lin Chu?"
"Is your lawsuit because you don't want to repay the debts incurred from transferring assets during the marriage?"
"In doing this, have you considered the terrible social impact of transferring marital assets and shamelessly trying to take away your ex-husband's property and song copyrights?"
"Some young people online have said that after seeing your and Mr. Lin Chu's divorce drama, they no longer want to get married. What is your opinion on this?"
“A well-known men’s forum once held a public poll, and more than 80% of unmarried men said they would have a prenuptial agreement and stop giving their salary to their girlfriends and wives. Are you aware of the social impact of doing this?”
"When your daughter grows up and finds out what you and your brother did, even spreading rumors and cyberbullying her father, how will you face your daughter?!"
"I heard that your brother has taken the blame for all the crimes related to transferring assets and is about to face more than five years in prison. Did he do this to protect you?"
Su Lin was surrounded by a group of reporters with their cameras and microphones, and a barrage of questions came her way.
He was immediately embarrassed and turned pale, completely at a loss for words.
Although she was Lin Chu's ex-wife, she had appeared on some TV programs with Lin Chu and had experience being interviewed.
But the reporters back then were much more lenient, and their questions were nowhere near as sharp.
Even she herself didn't know who leaked this information, or how it got to these self-media reporters.
"I, I..."
Seeing that Su Lin was being pressed and unable to defend herself, Song Yuhong had no choice but to step in and shield her from the questioning.
He then flashed a very elegant, standard professional smile and brushed it off with a few words.
"I'm sorry, these are all matters of my client's privacy and I cannot disclose them."
"As for the various comments online, I will reserve the right to take legal action on behalf of my client and will absolutely not tolerate any infringement!"
"Please make way, our client needs to go in for the court hearing!"
Originally, Song Yuhong thought that by simply dealing with these media outlets, she could lead Su Lin into the courthouse.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the media outlets became even more agitated.
The crowd surged forward, showing no intention of backing down, and instead shifted their attention from Su Lin to Song Yuhong!
"Attorney Song, as an expert in divorce cases, are you also planning to help your female client drain the man's assets this time?"
"The last male defendant you used against, who was left with nothing and had to pay more than 7,000 yuan a month in child support, recently made hateful remarks about you. Have you ever worried about retaliation?"
"The entire internet knows that Ms. Su Lin illegally transferred marital property, which is clearly a violation of public order and good morals. Why do you still defend her and even apply to the court to obtain most of the property?"
"Is your defense motivated by a sense of justice or by personal gain? How much in legal fees has Ms. Su Lin agreed to in return?"
Regarding the custody of your client's daughter, will you fight for it in court?
"Ms. Su Lin's exploitative behavior of ruthlessly squeezing her spouse dry during marriage has clearly benefited her greatly. Why does she still have the nerve to fight for a share of the property?"
Please answer our questions directly!
Just as Song Yuhong was about to force her way into the courthouse with Su Lin and her assistant, she was immediately shut down by reporters who were relentlessly pressing her with questions, holding microphones and cameras.
Even she herself had no idea that the court hearing would generate such a frenzy of attention.
Seeing that she couldn't leave without answering the questions, she could only take a deep breath and force herself to calm down.
"Please watch your words. Even the court has not yet determined that my client has violated public order and good morals, nor is he at fault in the marriage. I can sue you for defamation and slander for making such arbitrary accusations!"
"My client is just an ordinary housewife who silently sacrifices in her marriage, enduring trauma and invisible emotional abuse. She should not become the target of your public opinion attack!"
"Every woman is a vulnerable party and a victim in marriage!"
"They have every right to fight for their legitimate rights and interests. The law will not bow to illegality. I have always maintained a passionate and patriotic heart for the fairness and justice of the legal system!"
"I firmly believe that justice may be delayed, but it will never be absent!"
"The media should play a more active role in guiding public opinion, focusing on women's safety and emphasizing why women are always the ones who suffer in marriage!"
"Protect women!! Speak up for women!!"
"It's my duty!!"
Click! Click! Click!
Hearing Song Yuhong speak these words with such force and seriousness, the media's cameras and webcams were constantly capturing and recording the key moments that could very well become trending topics!
Seeing that Song Yuhong was helping her buffer the reporters' frantic questions, Su Lin was able to catch her breath a little.
He immediately prepared to hide behind Song Yuhong, slowly and inching his way into the courthouse.
I frantically told myself to calm down and not to answer any questions.
In reality, listening to the reporters' incessant and frantic questioning, my irritability gradually swelled and amplified, and several times I almost couldn't help but look up and retort.
But Song Yuhong silenced her with a single glance, pulling her into silence and leading her straight into the courthouse.
Zhu Yuanyuan even used documents to cover her head and took charge of cleaning up the mess.
Together with Attorney Song, they stood in front of and behind Su Lin, trying their best to prevent reporters from crowding in and disturbing her.
However, at that moment, a reporter suddenly shouted.
"Ms. Su Lin, since it's court day, why haven't we seen your ex-husband, Lin Chu, here?"
"The court hearing is about to begin, and Lin Chu is still not here. Isn't she afraid of being late?"
Upon hearing this, Su Lin could no longer suppress her inner turmoil.
He raised his head with a ferocious expression and roared angrily.
"We're already divorced, how am I supposed to know when he's coming?!"
"He can come or not, it's up to him!"
"He might never be able to come in this lifetime!!"
"Since you all love asking so much, go ask him yourselves! All of you, go down there and ask him yourselves!!"
Upon hearing this, the number of camera shutters and flashes around us instantly surged!
The reporter's eyes lit up, as if he had discovered a major headline, and he kept pressing on.
"Can't come?!"
How do you know Lin Chu might not be able to come?
"Did you use some means to prevent Lin Chu from attending the court hearing?!"
"What do you mean by sending us down to find Lin Chu?"
"Go down? Go down where?"
