Gu Nianzhi's team was Huo Shaoheng's subordinates. They immediately stood up and said, "We've already called the police. Please ask the bailiff to close the courtroom doors. No one is allowed in or out until the ambulance and police arrive."
The restless courtroom immediately quieted down.
No one had expected something like this to happen after the trial had ended.
The judges and clerks who had already left knew something had happened in the courtroom and were asked by the bailiff to another office to wait for the police to investigate the scene.
The man who had rushed up and slapped Kevin was still looking at his hand in a panic.
Several men and women walked to his side and began to criticize him. "Brother, how could you be so impulsive!"
"Yeah, even if it was revenge for the tutor, you shouldn't have hit someone!"
"The law has already punished this bad guy for us. Brother, why did you have to get yourself involved?"
Gu Nianzhi listened attentively. These people looked familiar and were probably Song Jinning's master's and doctoral students from the Institute of High Energy Physics.
They were probably here to listen in on behalf of the Institute of High Energy Physics.
The man who had hit Kevin was short and chubby. His round face was like a steamed bun, and he didn't look like he had the strength to knock Kevin out with one slap.
Gu Nianzhi clicked her tongue and said, "That's really a case of self-destruction."
The Indian lawyer, Arif, turned around and glared at Gu Nianzhi. He shouted, "Hitting someone in court is against the law! It's a felony, understand?! "
Gu Nianzhi smiled casually and waved her hand. "That's in the United States. In the Huaxia Empire, as long as it doesn't constitute criminal damage, people will be punished according to public security regulations. They will be fined up to 500 yuan and held in jail for about three days."
The Indian lawyer, Arif, was flabbergasted. "Public security regulations?! You're serious?! "
Gu Nianzhi laughed and winked at him. "Of course it's fake. I was joking."
The Indian lawyer, Arif, had just sighed in relief when Gu Nianzhi said seriously, "According to Article 309 of the Huaxia Empire's Criminal Law, anyone who seriously disrupts the order of a court by gathering a crowd to cause a disturbance, charge into the courtroom, or assault a judicial officer will be sentenced to up to three years in prison, criminal detention, public surveillance, or a fine. This is the law we use to deal with this kind of problem. "
Kevin's American lawyer immediately pointed at the short, fat man who had just hit someone and said, "Then arrest him!"
Gu Nianzhi spread her hands. "That's the bailiff's job. I'm the prosecution's lawyer, so I can't intervene in court matters."
In fact, as soon as she finished speaking, a bailiff came over and restrained the short and fat man who had just hit her.
He was scared out of his wits and kept saying, "I'm just fighting for my mentor! Do you know who my mentor is? She was the plaintiff in this case, Song Jinning! She was the victim! I'm standing up for my mentor! "
Gu Nianzhi sighed and walked over. "Brother, can you please shut up? At this time, you should find a lawyer to speak for you, not talk nonsense yourself. You have to know that you are in court now. Every word you say will be used as evidence in court. It has the force of law. "
The short and fat man quickly shut his mouth, but his eyes were filled with tears, as if he was about to cry.
A girl looked at Gu Nianzhi and suddenly whispered, "Lawyer Gu is a lawyer. Can she be Senior's defense lawyer?"
"Yes, yes! Great Lawyer Gu, can you be our senior/junior brother's defense lawyer? "The graduate students eagerly looked at Gu Nianzhi as they chattered excitedly.
Even the short and fat man looked over and asked hopefully, "… Can I?"
Gu Nianzhi smiled but didn't say anything.
This was a tactful rejection.
What a joke.
They wanted her to be Senior's defense lawyer for such a small case? Did they think she had nothing better to do?
The other graduate students already understood what Gu Nianzhi meant. They were also embarrassed because they knew that Gu Nianzhi was the chief legal counsel of the Senate and was usually very busy.
She was representing Song Jinning because Song Jinning had the authority to hire Gu Nianzhi.
Song Jinning was Gu Nianzhi's fiancé's biological mother. Even if she wasn't, with Song Jinning's status in the Huaxia Empire's scientific community and her contributions to the military, students like them couldn't compare.
Of course, the difficulty of the case was on a completely different level.
They also smiled and began to discuss going to a law firm outside to hire a lawyer for the short and fat man.
However, Cai Zhaohe didn't give up. She bit her lip and said softly, "Lawyer Gu, can you do it? Senior is doing this for Superintendent Song. If Lawyer Gu helps Senior, it's the same as helping our Superintendent Song. If Superintendent Song knew, he would definitely agree. "
Gu Nianzhi felt that this girl was a little insensitive, but she wasn't angry.
In her opinion, people who were focused on learning more or less had this problem of not knowing how to read people's expressions. It wasn't a bad thing. Moreover, her father, Lu Jin, was "someone who didn't know how to read people's expressions", so she just smiled and didn't say anything.
Perhaps her noncommittal attitude had caused Cai Zhaohe to misunderstand.
Cai Zhaohe boldly said, "If Lawyer Gu doesn't say anything, I'll take it as a yes?"
This was really a look that could be taken as a crush, but another look and she would think that he was deeply in love and wouldn't marry anyone but her.
Her ability to talk to herself was also amazing.
Gu Nianzhi had no choice but to speak. She asked calmly, "Who are you? What's your name? "
The girl said softly, "My name is Cai Zhaohe. I used to be Professor Lu's student." As she spoke, she glanced at Lu Jin.
Lu Jin was already impatient. He glared at her and said, "What are you looking at? You've already been fired!"
Cai Zhaohe's face immediately turned red. Just like the short and fat man, she was about to cry.
Gu Nianzhi had no choice but to comfort her. "Professor Lu likes to tell the truth. Don't mind him."
These words made her feel worse than not saying them. Cai Zhaohe wiped her tears with the back of her hand and sobbed. "Lawyer Gu is a good person. My senior …"
Gu Nianzhi sighed and said, "My fees are very expensive. Are you sure your senior is willing to pay for this lawyer's fee?"
Cai Zhaohe's eyes widened. "You still have to charge me!"
Her words were crisp and clear. Everyone who was busy checking on Kevin's condition turned to look at her.
Cai Zhaohe's eyes were as red as a rabbit's. She shrunk her neck and said, "I, I, I … I'm just very surprised … Lawyer Gu is such a good person, but she's like a normal lawyer. She's obsessed with money and talks about money all the time …"
The money-obsessed American lawyers: "…"
Was this woman really not referring to the mulberry tree to insult the locust tree to mock them?
Gu Nianzhi frowned and said, "Your senior's case. If there's a case, there's no need to hire a professional lawyer. The Institute of High Energy Physics has its own legal counsel. He can provide free legal aid to the staff and students in the Institute. You can just go to him. This kind of case isn't a big deal. "
Cai Zhaohe let out an "oh" in disappointment and looked deeply at Gu Nianzhi.
Lu Jin couldn't take it anymore. He walked over and stood in front of Gu Nianzhi. With a cold expression, he said to her, "Cai Zhaohe, the Institute of High Energy Physics won't give you any subsidies in the future."
Cai Zhaohe immediately clenched her fists and said anxiously, "Why? I've worked in the laboratory at the Institute of High Energy Physics! I work at least ten hours a day. Why don't you give me a subsidy! "
"How can you be like an ordinary student? All you talk about is money. Isn't it your duty as a student to do experiments in the laboratory? You should be laughing if you don't pay for your tuition. You still want subsidies? You're so noble, you should work for the laboratory for free without asking for a penny. "
"No! I've worked hard. Why can't you give me a reasonable reward?! "Cai Zhaohe refused to give up her legal rights.
Lu Jin pointed at her face and sneered, "You're just like the United States. You're really double standard. Others can't ask for money when they work, or else they'll be money-obsessed. You can't ask for money when you work. Cai Zhaohe, don't think that you can talk nonsense just because you have a big face! — Why? Because the cuticles on your face are thicker than others? "
Lu Jin returned Cai Zhaohe's words to Gu Nianzhi in a few words.
Cai Zhaohe burst into tears and was about to run out of the courtroom.
However, the door of the courtroom had already been tightly closed by the bailiff.
She stomped her feet at the door and turned back. Finally, she heard the sound of complicated footsteps coming from outside the door.
The ambulance and the emergency doctor had arrived. She could also hear the sound of sirens approaching from outside the window. It sounded like the police had arrived as well.
