He Zhichu glanced at her, and she sheepishly retracted her hand and followed him out of the courtroom.
At the entrance of the Munich District Court, the prosecutor who had represented the victim, Li Haiqing, walked up to Gu Nianzhi and said sincerely, "Miss Gu, I sincerely apologize to you. Most Germans don't think that way. The Huaxia people are very intelligent, and we respect them very much. We will never allow that kind of speech to appear in our country. "
After all, Germany was the country where the Prime Minister had personally knelt before the memorial to the murdered Jews. After World War II, Germany was the most thorough in reflecting on its war crimes and was much more forgiving than a certain Japanese country in East Asia who still refused to admit their war crimes.
Gu Nianzhi's expression softened as she nodded. "I believe you. Every country has good people and bad people. A good country is one where there are more good people than bad people. "
If there were more bad people than good people in a country, then the country as a whole was rotten and not worthy of forgiveness.
The prosecutor sighed in relief and smiled. "Miss Gu's performance in court today impressed us. Don't worry, we have sufficient evidence and will definitely help the victim get justice and bring the murderer to justice."
"Criminal cases still rely on you." Gu Nianzhi also expressed her gratitude. "I sincerely thank you for selflessly helping a powerless foreign student."
"The Goddess of Justice blindfolds. She doesn't look at wealth or power. She only looks at guilt and innocence." The prosecutor reached out to shake Gu Nianzhi's hand. "There are still a few tough battles to fight. You have to be mentally prepared."
"I will do my best." Gu Nianzhi nodded and watched the prosecutor leave.
The defendant's parents walked past Gu Nianzhi with sullen expressions. Seth's stepfather, York, suddenly turned to look at Gu Nianzhi.
His gaze was bone-chilling and sent chills down Gu Nianzhi's spine.
Gu Nianzhi wasn't afraid at all and glared back at him. "What are you looking at? You don't like it? I've never seen someone like you who can stare at others so righteously after hurting someone. Aren't you afraid the victim's soul will come to you in the middle of the night to have a heart-to-heart talk? "
Gu Nianzhi's English was clear and crisp with a perfect Oxford accent. The bailiff at the courthouse door looked over.
York snorted. The threat in his voice was self-evident. The wrinkles on his wrinkled eyes deepened.
Gu Nianzhi also snorted and said in front of York, "Don't scare me. If anything happens to me, it will be your fault. "
York's pupils suddenly contracted, but they quickly returned to normal. He nonchalantly turned his head around, and without saying a single word, he left the court with his wife, Ramona.
He Zhichu watched coldly as York and Ramona's car drove away. His gaze was also very dark.
He Zhichu's four American assistants were all young lawyers in their thirties. They walked over to Gu Nianzhi and whispered, "Gu, we're in someone else's territory. Don't provoke them too much."
These assistants had good intentions. They were worried that Gu Nianzhi was young and arrogant. She didn't know her place and would offend people.
Although lawyers needed to be sharp, they also needed to be able to hold back and handle matters smoothly. Only then could they be considered perfect.
Gu Nianzhi rubbed the back of her stiff neck. It wasn't that she wasn't afraid, but was she not going to do it just because she was afraid?
Moreover, why should good people be afraid of bad people who do evil things to the extreme?
The ones who should be afraid are the bad guys!
Gu Nianzhi wanted to say something, but before she spoke, she instinctively glanced at He Zhichu.
As her mentor, He Zhichu's education and concern had already won Gu Nianzhi's trust.
She knew who was truly good to her.
They both spoke harshly, but He Zhichu was more acceptable to Gu Nianzhi than Gu Yanran.
He Zhichu had one hand in his pocket and the other holding Gu Nianzhi's briefcase. His handsome face was still cold, but his shimmering, sultry eyes were faintly warm.
He glanced at his watch. "Ok, let's talk back at the hotel."
As they spoke, the luxurious business car they had chartered drove over. Gu Nianzhi followed He Zhichu into the car.
She and He Zhichu sat in the middle two seats. One of the other four assistants sat in the front passenger seat, and the other three sat in the three seats in the last row.
After the small incident, everyone gradually became excited.
After all, it was a good sign to have a good start on the first day.
Although lawyers were the most logical profession, the market for superstition did not discriminate between professions.
After returning to the hotel, the other four assistants asked He Zhichu for permission and happily went sightseeing.
They originally wanted to invite Gu Nianzhi to go with them, but He Zhichu rejected them before they could ask her.
Gu Nianzhi didn't plan to go herself. After a tiring day, she needed a good rest.
After returning to the hotel room, Gu Nianzhi first went to the bathroom to shower and change into casual pants.
A pure white heavy silk loose-sleeved blouse with a navy blue edge, a pair of light blue Egyptian cotton cropped pants, and a pair of snow-white Ralph Lauren sneakers. Her hair was loose behind her, and she only used a hairdryer to half-dry it.
He Zhichu knocked on the door and came in. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes as he asked her slowly, "Where do you want to go for lunch?"
Gu Nianzhi was about to speak when she heard her phone ring. She hurried back to the bedroom to take out her phone from her purse.
It was actually Gu Yanran calling.
She hesitated for a moment before swiping it open to answer. "Sis?"
Gu Yanran sounded anxious on the other end of the line. "Nianzhi? Where are you? Why can't I find you anywhere? "
Gu Nianzhi didn't know what to say for a moment.
She had only told Yin Shixiong, Zhao Liangze, and her roommate, Ma Qiqi, about going to Germany with He Zhichu. However, she had asked Ma Qiqi not to tell anyone else.
It was summer anyway, so there weren't many people on campus. Ma Qiqi was busy with her internship at the law firm every day, so she didn't have much time to contact Gu Nianzhi.
However, when she found out that Gu Nianzhi was going because of the pitiful female student from the Huaxia Empire who was killed, Ma Qiqi immediately applied for leave to see her off at the airport.
Before she left, Ma Qiqi reminded her again and again that she had to seek justice for the female student and bring the culprit to justice!
Gu Nianzhi knew that Ma Qiqi was very concerned about the case, so she told her where she was going.
When the news was revealed, He Zhichu took the initiative to stand up and become the most popular lawyer. He made a big splash and quietly suppressed the news of Gu Nianzhi going abroad with him.
Anyway, He Zhichu was the main lawyer and the person the Bai's truly wanted to hire. Gu Nianzhi was only one of his five assistants, so it was reasonable that no one paid attention to her.
As for the Special Operations Forces, because Gu Nianzhi's background had been investigated, her father had been taken to the Huaxia Empire. Therefore, the Special Operations Forces and the military paid the most attention to her father, Gu Xiangwen, and not Gu Nianzhi. Therefore, the protective measures that Huo Shaoheng had set up for Gu Nianzhi had been completely withdrawn.
