He Zhichu got into the car with Gu Nianzhi and drove directly to the courthouse where Gu Yanran was suing Ye Xuan.
After all the twists and turns in the morning, it was almost noon.
There weren't as many cars on the road as there had been in the morning, and He Zhichu's face was dark the entire time. He floored the gas pedal and sped like lightning, quickly arriving at the courthouse.
The two of them brought the evidence they had just obtained from the police surveillance and the documents requesting the court to withdraw the charges to the mediation room of the courthouse.
They had called before coming, so the courthouse had already arranged everything.
The mediator, the bailiff, Ye Xuan, Ma Qiqi, Yin Shixiong, as well as Gu Yanran and her lawyer, Jin Wanyi, were all there.
Seeing Gu Nianzhi appear at the door of the mediation room energetically, Gu Yanran's eyes instantly narrowed.
However, she quickly returned to normal and nodded at Gu Nianzhi calmly. "Little Sister, you're here."
Gu Nianzhi had goosebumps from hearing Gu Yanran call her "little sister." She couldn't help but shake her wrist. "Miss Gu, you're too kind." Then she immediately turned to the mediator. "I'm here to help Ye Xuan's lawyer, Ma Qiqi, submit the evidence and legal documents requesting to withdraw the charges. May I ask who is the person handling this?"
The mediator extended his hand to her. "Give it to me. I'm the mediator of the court."
Gu Nianzhi quickly handed the documents over.
The mediator took it and quickly looked through it. Seeing that the forms were completed, the chain of evidence was clear and credible, and the logic was detailed, he couldn't help nodding in approval.
Closing the documents, the mediator looked at Gu Yanran and Jin Wanyi, who were sitting to the side. "Plaintiffs, the defendant has now submitted evidence to refute the plaintiff's allegations. They say there is insufficient evidence and request the court to withdraw the case. What do you think?" He then reminded them, "It's fine if you don't agree to withdraw the charges, but this way, you must have new evidence to ensure a trial. Otherwise, the court will still rule that you lose based on the current evidence."
Gu Yanran started crying as soon as she heard that. Tears streamed down her cheeks. "How could this be? Are all the suffering I suffered just because there wasn't any evidence left at the time, so it doesn't count? "
Gu Nianzhi raised a brow and said calmly, "None of us have the Heavenly Eye and know exactly what happened. I also don't want to use any malicious intent to guess Miss Gu's motives. I only know that evidence is important in court. Miss Gu, tears cannot be used as evidence in court. It's useless no matter how much you cry. "
Her tone was calm, but her words made Gu Yanran feel very awkward.
Gu Yanran didn't know whether to cry or not, so she could only lower her head to wipe her tears and pretend to be bullied.
He was sitting at the other end of the conference room and hadn't said a word since last night. and
Gu and Gu didn't say a word. and said, Gu Nianzhi. Gu
Gu Nianzhi ignored Gu Yanran and turned to Jin Wanyi. "Lawyer Jin, what do you think? Yan Ye Gu, "and said and said.
Ma Qiqi also said, "Litigation is our profession. I'm sure Lawyer Jin knows the procedure very well. Jin "and" and "and and" and and and "Jin and said." Jin would "s Ma. and and said." Jin's said in and and. "
Jin Wanyi didn't expect Ma Qiqi, who looked like a carefree girl, to be so provocative.
Jin. and and and in. Ming and King. "Ming,", and a and Wan, and.
Jin Wanyi was annoyed.
Of course, she knew the case wouldn't be easy, but she agreed to let Gu Yanran go to court because Gu Nianzhi made sense. Jin Wanyi couldn't help "borrowing" her argument. She also thought that Ye Xuan had committed a big enough crime in the United States, so he wouldn't be able to escape the law no matter if he was absent or was caught.
Who knew He Zhichu would step in and clear Ye Xuan's case?
That put them in a passive position.
Jin Wanyi looked at Gu Yanran and said to the mediator, "I want to discuss this with my client."
The mediator nodded. "Sure. The small conference room is for everyone to use. It's very safe, and the court guarantees there are no eavesdropping or recording devices. You can use it without worry."
Jin Wanyi forced a smile and followed Gu Yanran into the small conference room.
Closing the door, Jin Wanyi frowned. "Yanran, are you still going to sue Ye Xuan? Now that Ye Xuan's case in the United States has been acquitted, and Gu Nianzhi has also obtained his whereabouts that day … It will be very difficult to continue prosecuting him. "He then asked," Tell me honestly, what exactly happened that day? Did Ye Xuan really hit you? Or … "
Gu Yanran could tell from Jin Wanyi's tone that she thought she was lying. She couldn't help feeling guilty, but she couldn't admit it. She immediately said, "Ye Xuan and I can't be cleared up with just a few words. He's heartless, but I can't be heartless. Forget it, I won't sue him, but I want to apply to the court for a restraining order to prohibit him from appearing within ten meters of me. Also, he just finished a lawsuit with me, so there's a conflict between us. He can't testify in court in the estate dispute case. "
Jin Wanyi was speechless.
You've already sued him. Isn't it too late to say "he's heartless, but I can't be heartless?"
Jin Wanyi was still very professional. She nodded. "Ok, then that's settled. I'll apply to the court."
After leaving the small conference room, the two of them returned to the mediation room.
Jin Wanyi said to the mediator, "My client agrees with the court to withdraw the case. However, my client wants to apply to the court for a restraining order to prohibit Ye Xuan from appearing within ten meters of my client. Also, he's not allowed to testify in court in the estate dispute case. "
The mediator looked at Gu Yanran and asked, "Does the plaintiff agree?"
Gu Yanran pursed her lips and nodded. She said with an aggrieved expression, "I've been friends with Ye Xuan for many years. He's heartless, but I can't be heartless. I won't sue him, but I don't want to see him again. Also, I'm afraid of him … "With that, she glanced at Ye Xuan again and bit her lower lip.
Gu Nianzhi looked at Gu Yanran's act coldly and suddenly realized that biting her lower lip was indeed very unsightly. No wonder Huo Shaoheng corrected her so many times …
Ma Qiqi stood up and smiled. "Miss Gu really knows how to confuse right and wrong. You've already sued, but now that you know you can't win, you're saying he's heartless. You can't be heartless. Tsk tsk, what if you win? Seriously … Also, this is a separate matter. Whether Ye Xuan can testify in court in the estate dispute case between you and Gu Nianzhi depends on the court filing the case. This case has nothing to do with that case, so we can't make such a ruling. "
Jin Wanyi also agreed with what she said, but she could only criticize it silently. However, as the defendant's lawyer, Ma Qiqi could say it out loud.
The mediator also said, "The restraining order can be considered, but whether or not he can testify in court in another case is not within the jurisdiction of this court. You'll need to apply to the court filing the case."
Gu Yanran thought about it and realized it was indeed true. She couldn't help blushing.
She glanced at Ye Xuan again, but this time, she realized he was looking at Gu Nianzhi. His gaze was so focused and gentle that Gu Yanran suddenly felt extremely indignant.
Although she was the one who left Ye Xuan first, she still felt bad seeing him change targets so quickly.
It was all because of her …
Gu Yanran's gaze darkened as it moved to Gu Nianzhi's face.
As soon as this woman appeared, her life was turned upside down …
Did she really think she didn't know who she was?!
Unfortunately, she wouldn't dare say it even if she was beaten to death. If she said it, she would die.
Gu Yanran's mouth was tighter than a clam's shell. She didn't say a word until she walked out of the courthouse with Jin Wanyi.
…
Gu Nianzhi successfully led Ye Xuan out of the courthouse.
He Zhichu walked in front alone and had no intention of talking to anyone.
Ma Qiqi and Yin Shixiong followed behind and didn't know what they were whispering to each other.
Gu Nianzhi realized that after this incident, the two of them were no longer avoiding each other in front of others …
She smiled at the silent Ye Xuan and asked quietly, "What did those two do yesterday? Do you know? "
Ye Xuan's mind was churning with countless things, and he was highly nervous. He was just thinking about what he would say if Gu Nianzhi asked him about Gu Yanran and Gu Xiangwen. However, he didn't expect Gu Nianzhi to say something so gossipy. His nervousness immediately dissipated, and he glanced at her with a smile. He turned his body slightly and whispered in her ear, "How would I know? They were whispering to each other last night … "
Gu Nianzhi snickered.
Ma Qiqi, who was walking behind them, finally snapped back to reality. She blushed and walked quickly to Gu Nianzhi's side. Pulling her arm to the side, she whispered, "I heard something happened when you came in this morning?"
Gu Nianzhi asked curiously, "How did you know?"
"I heard it from him." Ma Qiqi glanced behind her.
"Him? Who is he? "Gu Nianzhi teased her on purpose.
Ma Qiqi smiled and nudged her. "Ok, I admit it. I was talking to Brother Xiong. He's my boyfriend now."
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but give Ma Qiqi a thumbs up. She said enthusiastically, "That's great! Brother Xiong is a good person. He might even be a virgin. You've found a treasure … "
"Oh?" Ma Qiqi froze. "Are you serious? Brother Xiong … hasn't … done it yet? "
She knew Yin Shixiong wasn't young anymore. Was there something wrong with him?
Gu Nianzhi laughed so hard she almost couldn't breathe. "I'm just saying. You'll have to ask him yourself."
They chatted and laughed. Soon, they got into He Zhichu's car and went back to school.
…
At that moment, Huo Shaoheng was taking the information the firearms and explosives experts from the Special Operations Forces had collected from the scene of the gunman's self-explosion that morning to the Institute of High Energy Physics to visit his mother, Song Jinning.
"Shaoheng, what brings you here today?" Song Jinning came out in a white lab coat. She was in high spirits. Her eyes were clear, and her skin was fair and delicate. There were no wrinkles at all. She looked like a girl in her twenties.
Even people who knew her found it hard to believe that she already had a son as old as Huo Shaoheng.
If it wasn't for the fact that everyone knew she was really sick all these years, some people would have believed she had plastic surgery …
Huo Shaoheng was carrying a black briefcase with a password. It contained the special evidence collected from the scene that day.
He showed the briefcase to Song Jinning. "I have some business to ask you. Are you free? Let's find a convenient place to show you something. "
