It was finally Tang Yili's turn to verify her identity. She handed over her ID and heard the other party talking about precautions for a long time. She listened with her left ear and heard it with her right ear, but didn't take it to heart at all.
It is not a secret that Townsend slept with students, but it is extremely difficult to convict him of this crime.
Firstly, no one dares to come forward to testify, and secondly, it is difficult to obtain evidence.
Although Tang Yili constructed false testimonies and evidence, it was completely out of necessity, and it did not mean that she had wronged him. She did not feel guilty about it.
But the court is a place where the script is written. If you want to bring down Townsend, you need solid evidence of guilt and a strong rebuttal. Tang Yili is now thinking about how powerful the barrister Townsend hired is. Will he be able to do it immediately?
Expose your own lies, or detect this frame-up.
All of a sudden, all kinds of worries came up. The assistant of the prosecutor's lawyer called her from above, but Tang Yili didn't pay attention.
It was a young man, Jewish, with a high nose and thin-rimmed eyes. He called Tang Yili several times and found that she hadn't looked at him, so he came down from the gallery to look for her.
"Miss Tang!"
Tang Yili came back to his senses, "You..." The person was a little unfamiliar, and Tang Yili was stunned for a moment.
When discussing the case before, she had seen the prosecutor's lawyer and his assistant, but not this face.
The other party seemed to know Tang Yili's doubts, and explained: "The prosecutor's lawyer has been temporarily changed, Miss Tang, you probably don't know yet," the assistant pointed at the middle-aged man sitting upright in front of the plaintiff.
"That's Lawyer Karl, your new defender. He never takes cases from prosecutors. This time he's out of trouble, so don't worry, Miss Tang, there will be no problems with your case."
Tang Yili looked over, and Lawyer Karl smiled kindly at her. From a distance of about ten meters, she could see the shrewdness of "I know your secret" written in those sharp eyes.
This was her feeling, and the assistant's words later confirmed this feeling.
"Ms. Tang, just follow the testimony you prepared before and say that Lawyer Carl has read it and there is no problem."
He came here just to tell Tang Yili this - the new prosecutor's lawyer actually automatically conspired with her?!
The assistant returned to his seat in the court, and Tang Yili was sitting in the audience. Before he could react, he felt a dark shadow coming down from the position next to him.
She looked up and saw Xun Lang, wearing a black turtleneck, a black woolen coat, and black leather gloves, standing tall and slim, standing next to her seat.
"You...are here." She choked on her words.
Indeed, only when Xun Lang comes, everything will not be difficult to explain.
He knew everything, and he also made arrangements for Townsend to change lawyers. Otherwise, why would a barrister who never took the prosecutor's case help her? Isn't it good for someone to make a lot of money sitting in the dock?
Tang Yili made a mistake and made room for Xun Lang.
He took off his gloves and sat down.
Although the court was a private hearing, there were many staff members coming in and out, and the empty space was filled with restlessness. After waiting for about ten minutes, the judge came, opened his case as usual, and then summoned Townsend.
The man who had been detained for several months suddenly looked old. His silver-white hair was sparse and greasy, with locks hanging down. When he was being held down by the tall prison guard, he coughed repeatedly, revealing a certain sense of being depressed.
The pitiful feeling of oppression.
If Tang Yili had not seen the old man's lustful behavior, she would have softened her heart. She looked at the judge's expression and felt something was wrong. The female judge seemed to be a little sympathetic to Townsend.
She sweated over this case, and her staff couldn't help but hold on to the information.
Just at this moment, Xun Lang beside him said softly, "Don't worry, this female judge's sister has also been sexually assaulted. She hates it deeply. If she is partial to you, it won't be him."
Comforted by Xun Lang's words, Tang Yili turned his head with complicated eyes: He even knew the judge's background clearly, so——
"You know everything?" she asked quietly.
Evidence and cross-examination began in the court, and there was a heated atmosphere as the lawyers argued with each other.
Xun Lang watched the exchanges in court carefully, and it took him a long time to reply to Tang Yili, "You shouldn't hide such a big thing from us."
He turned around, with a little dissatisfaction and distress in his eyes.
The "we" he mentioned was not just him, but also included Tang Feng.
That day, he was lying in bed, half asleep and half awake when he heard the content of Tang Yili's phone call, which mentioned a few words about "privacy trial". Xun Lang took it to heart and later went to Ji's business intelligence network to check it.
, and at the same time called Tang Feng to try to trick him. When he learned that Tang Feng didn't know anything about it, Xun Lang became even more sure that Tang Yili was hiding it, which was not a good thing.
Soon, after Xun Lang learned the ins and outs of the entire case, anger and hatred were like red and blue flames, intertwining and fighting in his mind.
He hated that someone dared to covet his woman, but he was also angry that Tang Yili would put himself in danger.
It was night, and Xun Lang was pacing back and forth in the hotel, trying his best to control his emotions so as not to go to the apartment in the middle of the night to scold Tang Yili - he had strangled their previous relationship to death in this way.
Until late at night, Xun Lang calmed down and used his connections to arrange to replace the prosecutor's barrister and the presiding judge.
Xun Lang asked himself that this was not interference, but just arranging more capable people to follow Tang Yili's intention and add an extra layer of insurance to her plan.
In the first round of defense, as expected, Lawyer Karl behaved calmly and frequently asked questions, forcing Townsend to stand up several times and loudly voiced his injustice.
The judge dropped his hammer impatiently.
Tang Yili tilted his shoulders slightly towards Xun Lang and asked in a voice that only they could hear: "Is this barrister very expensive?"
"Yeah." Xun Lang looked at her, then imitated her, tilted his shoulders at the same angle, and answered shoulder to shoulder with her.
"Just think of it as paying for my nutritional expenses during my illness."
Tang Yili smiled a little, "How many bowls of porridge are you talking about?"
Xun Lang was extremely serious, looking at her dark eyes for an instant.
"Well, let me pay for the porridge."
"Oh." Tang Yili smiled, turned his gaze to the court hearing, and spoke after a long while, "Just a few bowls of porridge can be exchanged for such a huge reward. It's really easy to make money from Mr. Xun."
Xun Lang also looked forward, chuckled, and said no more.
This is not a secret. Everyone in the circle knows that Xun Lang himself has a low sexual desire, but he is very willing to spend money on women - of course, if they are the women he loves - almost to the point of giving him whatever he wants, even if they don't want her.
, he also has to find ways to send it up.
Just now, Tang Yili has left Yili Garment for two years, and Xunlang is still supporting it with hundreds of millions of marketing expenses a year. While everyone is guessing that Mr. Xun will get married, they also lament the way Mr. Xun coaxes his wife.
