Chapter 407 Who told you to do it here?
In the most central area of the city, the solemn court stands quietly, like an impartial witness of history, silent yet extremely deterrent.
The sun poured down and illuminated the national emblem on top of the courtroom. The national emblem shone brightly, and every ray of light seemed to be speaking of the adherence to fairness and justice, carrying the sacred mission of the law to maintain world order.
The luxurious black sedan drove slowly over, its wheels drawing a smooth arc on the ground, and finally stopped steadily in front of the court door.
Pang Juan was sitting in the back seat of the car, surrounded by four or five burly men in black suits and sunglasses.
She seemed accustomed to the scene before her. She slowly picked up the mirror in her hand, carefully examined her makeup, then picked up a lipstick and began to carefully touch up her makeup.
Her movements were graceful and calm, as if she was about to step into a gorgeous social feast rather than a courtroom where her fate would be decided.
Hu Zhiqiang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was extremely anxious. He frequently looked at his watch and turned his head to look out the window, his brows knitted tightly into the shape of a "川" character.
"Cousin, don't talk in court later. I'll take care of everything." He turned his head again and instructed Pang Juan with a serious face, his tone filled with unquestionable firmness.
Pang Juan waved her hand nonchalantly and said, "I know, I know. Look how nervous you are." After that, she reached out and took the designer bag next to her, rummaged through it, and took out two lollipops.
She shook the lollipop in her hand and handed it to Hu Zhiqiang with a childish smile on her face, "Zhiqiang, come here, have a candy and relax."
Hu Zhiqiang frowned even more tightly, his face full of annoyance, "Cousin, it's so late, don't eat anymore, we're going in soon!" His voice unconsciously rose a few degrees, with a hint of anxiety.
"I haven't seen that dead cripple yet! Why are you in such a hurry?" Pang Juan looked unhappy, pouting and muttering, with a hint of disdain and resentment in her eyes.
At the same time, President Guo was driving a Volkswagen CC on the road. He held the steering wheel firmly with both hands, staring at the front with a serious and steady expression on his face.
Mu Xiaoji sat in the back seat, closed his eyes, and tried to calm himself during this last journey.
Suddenly, a crisp phone ring broke the silence in the car. Mu Xiaoji slowly opened his eyes, took out his cell phone, and saw Luo Jinxi's name flashing on the screen.
He slid the screen gently and answered the call. Before he could speak, he heard Luo Jinxi's urgent question from the phone: "Xiao Ji, where are you?"
"It's on the overpass. It's not far after you get off the bridge!" Mu Xiaoji's voice was still relaxed, trying to reassure the person on the other end of the phone.
Luo Jinxi's impatience was clearly evident on the phone, "If I had known this would happen, I would have come to pick you up myself!"
"Thank you. Uncle Guo was worried about me and insisted on accompanying me here in person." Mu Xiaoji turned his head slightly and glanced at Dean Guo who was concentrating on driving, his eyes full of gratitude.
"Then tell President Guo to drive slower. We are already in front of the court." After saying this, Luo Jinxi hung up the phone.
Mu Xiaoji put away his phone, looked at the scenery passing by quickly outside the window, and thought silently about the upcoming trial.
At the entrance of the court, Luo Jinxi and Cui Jiani were looking anxiously. Cui Jiani crossed her arms and her face was full of tension.
"Tell me, are those three lawyers really that powerful?" Her voice trembled slightly, and her eyes revealed a hint of uneasiness.
Luo Jinxi smiled and patted Cui Jiani on the shoulder, comforting her: "Just put your heart at ease!
They are well-known ace lawyers in the industry, and we are fully confident in this case." Her smile was full of confidence, trying to dispel Cui Jiani's worries.
At this moment, a Range Rover came speeding in the distance, and the roar of the engine attracted everyone's attention. Cui Jiani couldn't help but exclaimed: "Cheng Yu's car?"
Luo Jinxi's attention was also attracted by the car. The smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a look of loss.
"The three lawyers are here. He... probably will never have the chance to drive this car again!" Her voice was very low, as if she was muttering to herself, and her eyes revealed deep regret and sadness.
Pei Huiping stood aside and saw the changes in Luo Jinxi's expression. He walked closer gently, put his arm around Luo Jinxi's shoulders, and gave her a little silent comfort.
Luo Jinxi tilted his head slightly and gave Pei Huiping a grateful smile. The two of them stood quietly at the door of the court, waiting for Mu Xiaoji to arrive.
In the black car, Pang Juan finally finished her makeup. She looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction and threw the lipstick back into her bag.
"Zhi Qiang, how sure are you? I still haven't seen the dead cripple, and I must vent my anger today."
Hu Zhiqiang lowered his head and looked through the testimony he had prepared over the past few days, as well as the order of questioning during his defense, in an effort to win the lawsuit as smoothly as possible.
Hearing Pang Juan's question: "If nothing unexpected happens, it's almost certain."
Pang Juan couldn't sit still anymore and pushed open the car door. Surrounded by a group of bodyguards, she stepped out of the car. Hu Zhiqiang sighed helplessly, glanced at Pang Juan and shook his head;
His eyes fell on the documents, and he silently prayed in his heart that this trial would go smoothly according to their plan.
At this moment, the Volkswagen CC also slowly drove into the parking lot of the court. Dean Guo happened to be driving the Volkswagen CC and slowly passed by Pang Juan.
He parked the car directly in a parking space not far away, turned his head to look at Mu Xiaoji, and said earnestly: "Child, don't be nervous, everything will be fine."
Mu Xiaoji took a deep breath and nodded, "Uncle Guo, I'm fine, you don't have to be too nervous." Then he opened the car door and walked out.
He straightened his clothes and looked up at the solemn courtroom with a determined look in his eyes.
Pang Juan saw Mu Xiaoji getting out of the Volkswagen that had just passed by and sneered with disdain: "You dead cripple, you're finally here."
She muttered viciously and rolled up her sleeves, her eyes revealing undisguised malice.
She quickly turned around and whispered to the men in sunglasses beside her, "You guys, wait for that cripple to come over and watch my gestures."
The men in sunglasses had no expression on their faces and nodded mechanically, "Yes, Miss Pang."
Mu Xiaoji was completely unaware of the impending danger. His eyes were anxiously searching the crowd, wanting only to find Luo Jinxi.
His mind was completely occupied with the upcoming trial and the expectation of justice, and he walked hurriedly towards the court.
Just as he took a few steps towards the court, Pang Juan rushed over like a long-awaited beast.
With a crisp sound, her palm slapped Mu Xiaoji's face heavily. This sudden slap was so powerful that Mu Xiaoji lost his balance and fell to the ground.
"Beat you all to death!" Pang Juan shouted hysterically, her face becoming hideous and horrible due to anger and distortion.
Dean Guo was originally watching Mu Xiaoji from the sidelines. When he saw this, his eyes widened instantly. He rushed over without hesitation and shouted angrily, "How dare you beat someone up in front of the judicial gate? Do you still have any respect for the law?"
While he was pushing the men in sunglasses with all his might, he anxiously moved towards Mu Xiaoji, trying to use his body to build a line of defense for Mu Xiaoji.
At this time, Luo Jinxi was standing on the steps of the court. He inadvertently looked not far away and saw a chaotic scene there.
She looked carefully and found that it was Dean Guo who was violently pushing and shoving with those men in sunglasses, and she thought to herself that something was wrong.
"Oh no, let's go over there quickly." She shouted nervously, her voice filled with anxiety and worry.
Pei Huiping saw Luo Jinxi suddenly run and hurriedly shouted: "Jinxi, what's going on?"
But Luo Jinxi had already run away, and there was no time to respond to him. Cui Jiani was also at a loss, and was at a loss for what to do with this sudden change, but she still hurriedly followed Luo Jinxi and chased after him.
Relying on his years of experience, Pei Huiping quickly took out his mobile phone and started taking pictures of the scene to collect evidence when he was approaching the scene.
His movements were skillful and calm, and every time he pressed the shutter button, it was like leaving a strong piece of evidence for justice.
Luo Jinxi shouted loudly while running: "Stop..."
At this time, Dean Guo was hugging a man in sunglasses tightly. Then the man in sunglasses suddenly broke free from Dean Guo's restraints and kicked Dean Guo to the ground.
Mu Xiaoji curled up his body and desperately protected himself on the ground, dodging the punches and kicks that were raining down on him.
Those men in sunglasses seemed to have been given a death order. Even after hearing Luo Jinxi's shouting, they still showed no intention of stopping.
Pang Juan stood aside, with a look of relief on her face. Her face looked particularly hideous because of the twisted pleasure. She shouted loudly: "I told you, a cripple, to hit me. I will let you taste the feeling of being beaten too."
Seeing that they showed no sign of stopping, Luo Jinxi's anger reached its peak. She took out her pistol without hesitation and pointed it at the sky. With a "pop", the crisp sound of the gun instantly cut through the noisy air.
The men in sunglasses were frightened by the sudden gunshots. Their movements stopped abruptly and they stood still.
The judicial police heard the gunshots and quickly swarmed over here. Luo Jinxi put away his pistol, squatted down hurriedly, and shouted anxiously: "Xiao Ji, Xiao Ji, how are you?"
Cui Jiani ran over, helped Dean Guo up, and limped towards Mu Xiaoji.
Hu Zhiqiang was originally in the car. When he heard the gunshot, he showed a look of surprise on his face. He hurriedly pushed open the door and got out of the car. He walked quickly to Pang Juan and asked anxiously, "What's going on?"
Mu Xiaoji lay on the ground, motionless, which was heartbreaking. Luo Jinxi took out his police ID, handed it to the judicial police, and said angrily: "I demand that you arrest them immediately and give the victim an explanation."
Pei Huiping approached calmly and said calmly: "I have taken photos of their behavior just now. You can just wait to go to jail!"
When Pang Juan heard the word "go to jail", the smug look on her face instantly disappeared, and was replaced by a look of panic.
She hurriedly grabbed Hu Zhiqiang's arm and asked in a trembling voice: "Zhiqiang, I just slapped him back, I won't go to jail, right?"
Hu Zhiqiang looked at Pang Juan and muttered in a low voice, "Who told you to do it here?"
