After a series of cliched opening remarks, Xu Yan, as Ye Xinyu's representative lawyer, initiated the core battle of the court.
He spread out the materials in his hands with vigor and said, "Your Honor, members of the jury, on behalf of my client, Miss Ye Xinyu, I formally accuse the defendant, Ye Shu, of brutally pushing Ye Shengli off the rooftop from the height of twenty-five stories, following a failed attempt to coerce the signing over of corporate representative rights, resulting in Ye Shengli's immediate death..."
Xu Yan was a veteran lawyer, so his presentation was well-structured, piling various real and fabricated charges against Ye Shu. Whenever the judge asked Ye Shu if she had any objections, she would only utter three words, either "I didn't" or "He's lying."
The spectators in the gallery began to struggle to suppress their laughter, and even Ye Xinyu felt she had a sure win that day. With Ye Shu's level, she dared to proceed without a lawyer?
