Ma Yingjie brought Luan Xiaoxue to the court. Director Wu received them personally. He took a few glances at Luan Xiaoxue and realized that this girl was pretty and charming. Why didn't he notice this before?
Director Wu personally poured a cup of tea for Ma Yingjie and Luan Xiaoxue and asked Luan Xiaoxue warmly, "Do you have any requests?"
Luan Xiaoxue lowered her head and did not dare to speak. In the past, when she looked for Director Wu, she was either rejected or chased out. There were a few times when she blocked Director Wu in the parking lot with an extremely cold attitude. There was even one time when he pushed her and her leg hit the flower bed. That time, the skin on her leg was cut and the pain made her tear up. However, she did not let the tears fall. Now that Director Wu was being so polite, Luan Xiaoxue was momentarily stunned. She did not know what to say and what not to say. She could only turn her gaze to Ma Yingjie. Ma Yingjie had been helping her and he was the only person she could trust now.
Ma Yingjie received Luan Xiaoxue's gaze. Of course, he understood what Luan Xiaoxue meant and was also aware of the coldness that Luan Xiaoxue had experienced in the past. Just a while ago, he did not dare to get too close to this girl. He would only secretly comfort her when no one was around.
That was then and this was now. This was a major characteristic of officialdom. Officialdom made of iron, officialdom made of water. Ma Yingjie understood this more and more clearly. If she really had that kind of relationship with Mayor Luo, if Mayor Luo was really willing to accept this girl, why wouldn't he be happy to help her? At least when she was in trouble, he did not step on her. At least for now, the person she trusted was still him.
Ma Yingjie took a sip of tea, looked at Director Wu and said, "Director Wu, Mayor Luo hopes that you can follow the normal procedure. Also, if it's convenient today, let's close this case."
As soon as Ma Yingjie finished speaking, Director Wu's gaze swept over to Luan Xiaoxue. Luan Xiaoxue still had her head lowered, not daring to look at him. However, since Ma Yingjie brought Luan Xiaoxue here in person, it seemed that this girl was not simple. He quickly picked up the phone and said, "President Liu, wait in the office. Secretary Ma will be here soon. Luan Jun's car accident case must be pronounced today. Secretary Ma will tell you what you want."
After Director Wu put down the phone, Ma Yingjie stood up, and so did Luan Xiaoxue. Director Wu was still very polite. He walked them out of the office before returning to his own office.
On the way downstairs, Ma Yingjie said, "Luan Xiaoxue, you don't have to be afraid of them."
"En." Luan Xiaoxue still nodded carefully. Only when she got her brother's verdict could she be sure that her brother's life would be spared.
Ma Yingjie brought Luan Xiaoxue into President Liu's office. He was the person who told Luan Xiaoxue to stop looking for Luan Xiaoxue. When he saw Ma Yingjie, he quickly stood up and said, "Secretary Ma, you're here. Please have a seat."
Ma Yingjie smiled and nodded. "Thank you, President Liu." He then pointed to the chair beside him and said to Luan Xiaoxue, "Luan Xiaoxue, please have a seat."
Ma Yingjie's voice was very gentle, and there was even a hint of flattery in it. This made President Liu very confused. President Wu said that Ma Yingjie would tell him about Luan Jun's car accident case, but Ma Yingjie's attitude towards Luan Xiaoxue didn't seem like he was going to punish Luan Jun severely.
President Liu poured a glass of water for Ma Yingjie and Luan Xiaoxue respectively. Ma Yingjie went straight to the point. "President Liu, Mayor Luo wants to go through the normal procedures for Luan Jun's car accident case. Also, he hopes to end this case today. Is there any problem?"
President Liu quickly said, "No problem, I'll prepare now. You guys go to the courtroom on the first floor and wait. "
Ma Yingjie said, "Thank you, President Liu." He then asked Luan Xiaoxue to follow him. Luan Xiaoxue was still in a daze. She had been running around for three months without any results. Could it really end just like that? She followed behind Ma Yingjie and walked into the courtroom on the first floor. The layout of the courtroom was exactly the same as on TV, but Luan Xiaoxue wasn't that curious anymore. Her heart was beating nervously. She wasn't even sure if her brother's life would be saved just like that.
President Liu arrived and changed into his judge's uniform. Soon, there were two lawyers at the defense table. One was the lawyer for Luo Tianyun's driver, and the other was the lawyer the court found for Luan Xiaoxue. However, Luan Xiaoxue had only met the lawyer twice, and the lawyer always said the same thing. "The verdict will be as it should be." Now, the lawyer stood at the defense table with an indifferent look on his face. Luan Xiaoxue couldn't be bothered with him.
Luan Xiaoxue couldn't remember what President Liu read in court. She only wanted to hear her brother's verdict. However, President Liu and the lawyers described the case in a very concise manner. President Liu then read the verdict directly. The whole process took about half an hour, and what Luan Xiaoxue didn't expect was that her brother would only be sentenced to five years. She couldn't believe her ears and asked softly, "Ma Yingjie, my brother was sentenced to five years, right?"
"Yes, Luan Xiaoxue. You saved your brother's life. "Jay said with a smile on his face. At this moment, after the verdict was announced, President Liu passed the judgment to Ma Yingjie. Ma Yingjie then passed the judgment to Luan Xiaoxue. Luan Xiaoxue looked at it clearly. It was really five years. This result was something she never dreamed of. She just wanted to save her brother's life. She didn't expect that a case that she thought was extremely difficult could be solved in just half an hour. So, Luo Tianyun's words were so important. Not only could he save her brother's life, but he could also get a lighter sentence for her brother.
