While things are not peaceful here, there is a different kind of liveliness over there.
On the top floor of Libra's office, a person was typing something on a computer, with a pile of documents on the desktop.
"Zhiyuan, have something to eat first. You've been busy all day." Xu Zhengjin came in with a coffee and a bag containing a cup of coffee and a sandwich.
"Master, the trial is officially starting tomorrow. I want to take another look at the notes so that I can fill in any omissions."
"You must be nervous about handling this kind of big case for the first time, right?" Xu Zhengjin smiled, quite satisfied with his apprentice.
"Yes, but more than anything, I want to see these people punished by law." When Meng Zhiyuan saw the stack of charges, his hands trembled with anger as he held the documents.
"After this, you'll get many more cases like this. Some rich people do things that are even worse than this, but they have so much money that there are always people willing to take the blame for them."
Having worked in this field for so many years, Xu Zhengjin naturally has a very clear understanding of the situation.
"You must stick to your bottom line; you can't take just any money."
"Don't worry, I have my reasons for not going astray. As the eldest brother, if I were to compromise with such threats and inducements, not to mention what my parents would think of me, my sister would be very disappointed in me."
He's only sitting here because of Meng Wan. His sister is so outstanding; if he, as her brother, doesn't try his best and instead disappoints her, then he's truly a terrible person.
“When I was your age, I also received such orders. The wealthy businessman built many orphanages under the guise of charity, but in reality, he was taking in good-looking children and selling them to other rich people.”
"People like this should spend their whole lives in prison!"
Meng Zhiyuan slammed his hand on the table, startling Xu Zhengjin, who was just taking out coffee.
"Absolutely! When I saw those photos, I couldn't help but throw up. I felt so nauseous that I couldn't eat for days."
Xu Zhengjin shook his head. "Let's eat first. Tomorrow will be a tough battle."
He unwrapped the bread and handed it to Meng Zhiyuan, who looked at him with a resentful expression.
Belatedly realizing what was happening, Xu Zhengjin chuckled and said "I'm sorry" three times. Meng Zhiyuan sighed, but ultimately accepted the sandwich.
"Thank you, Master."
"Do your best and don't let Mr. Qian down tomorrow. I've already given him my assurance that you'll be fine."
Meng Zhiyuan curled his lips, "No matter what it takes, they must pay the price!"
"Good! You have the same courage I had back then!" Xu Zhengjin patted his shoulder, full of satisfaction, and his own blood boiled with excitement.
Although it was late at night, the conference room lights stayed on until dawn.
The next day, the two quickly washed up at the company and rushed to the court, where Qian Yixuan was already waiting at the door, accompanied by two bodyguards who were 1.9 meters tall.
"Looks like things aren't going well for you these days, are they?" Xu Zhengjin, after all, was an experienced person and knew what methods these rich people would use to intimidate or even fabricate accidents to get rid of the parties involved.
"Fortunately, a cunning rabbit has three burrows." Over the years, I have traveled to various regions and countries, partly because of Meng Wan, but also to see how to truly disappear without a trace.
He wouldn't close the net unless he was absolutely certain.
"How have you all been lately?"
"Libra's security system is excellent, and the entire park is within the security area. As long as we don't step out, we'll be fine. Even if we do go out, someone will be following us."
As he spoke, Xu Zhengjin looked at the vehicle that had brought them there.
This is why they dare to take on cases that other law firms wouldn't. Other professions might be afraid of retaliation, but for Libra lawyers, it's enough to just maintain the balance in their hearts.
"Let's not talk about that for now. It's about time, let's go inside." Meng Zhiyuan glanced at his watch, looking somewhat nervous.
"Okay." Qian Yixuan looked at Meng Zhiyuan, a smile playing on his lips.
“Attorney Meng, there’s no need to be so nervous. I trust Wanwan and Attorney Xu’s judgment, and I also believe you have the ability. I’ve looked into all the cases you’ve handled before, so there won’t be any problems.”
Meng Zhiyuan twitched the corner of his mouth and nodded in response.
The three of them said nothing more and went straight inside.
Soon, a man was escorted in by police. He immediately locked his gaze on Qian Yixuan, his eyes filled with malice. Qian Yixuan was not intimidated at all; instead, he smiled at him with a gentle expression.
The gavel struck, and the first trial officially began.
By the time it was over, the defendant had lost all the composure he had when he first entered. He started verbally abusing Qian Yixuan and was eventually taken away by the police.
"You did well today. Go back and write a summary to see if you've missed anything." Xu Zhengjin patted Meng Zhiyuan on the shoulder, very satisfied with his words and actions today.
"Okay, are you going back now?"
"Yes, I'm getting old. I can't handle staying up all night."
"Then be careful on your way back." Meng Zhiyuan offered to see him off, but Xu Zhengjin waved his hand and left, leaving Meng Zhiyuan and Qian Yixuan alone.
"Mr. Qian."
"Just call me Yixuan." Qian Yixuan remained as gentle as ever, his expression never faltering even when faced with the other party's insults.
"Your performance today was outstanding, exceeding my expectations."
"It is thanks to you that you collected so much evidence that we are more confident and our efficiency has improved a lot."
Qian Yixuan lowered his eyes, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
If he didn't die that day, then the one who should have died wasn't him!
Meng Zhiyuan noticed the change in Qian Yixuan's emotions and was about to ask something when Qian Yixuan had already concealed the darkness in his eyes.
“Let’s go. Although the first trial’s outcome was good, it’s not our ultimate goal. You still need to be careful lately, don’t go out unnecessarily, and especially don’t go to remote places. After all, the Qian family is a large and powerful family. Even though he’s already in jail, their roots haven’t been severed yet.”
"I understand, please be careful as well. By the way, I'm sorry to have troubled you with my brother's matter all this time."
"You're welcome. I did this job to help more children."
“There have been a lot of rumors lately, but we have nothing to hide. Don’t take it too seriously.” Meng Zhiyuan spoke tactfully, but Qian Yixuan understood what he meant.
After all, he also shares the surname Qian (meaning money), so it's inevitable that some people will judge him.
"Don't worry, I was mentally prepared to release the evidence."
The two walked out while talking, but they didn't expect that as soon as they pushed the door open, a group of reporters surrounded them.
