Chapter 926 Countdown to the End: Transformed to Glowing
But it was only a slight moment, and everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
Gu Beichen put down the water cup and cotton swab, stood up and took the water for Jian Mo to wash...
There are good caregivers in the hospital, but Jian Mo has been lying on the bed for ten months. Every day, whether it is washing or body massage, Gu Beichen basically does it himself.
Occasionally, Li Yunze would tease him to ease his mood.
Of course, in the end, he was retorted by the black-bellied and venomous Gu Beichen...
Li Yunze felt that this huge ship of friendship could be overturned at any time, and he was about to end his friendship with Gu Beichen in a minute.
Well, I've been bored recently, and the group of nurses in the hospital have brainwashed me with Internet terms every day... He is now an old driver.
...
California, the United States.
Mo Shaochen looked at the time, and after entering the court, he found a better seat in the audience.
Seriously speaking, he had never seen Li Xiaoyue's lawsuit in person, and at most he saw it from the internal video.
Some people entered the audience seats one after another, and the lawyers' assistants of both sides were also preparing materials for the trial. The atmosphere in the entire courtroom was obviously solemn.
In an international criminal case, the other party was obviously guilty, but after several trials, the case was postponed for retrial.
And every delay would increase the difficulty coefficient by a few points...
Li Xiaoyue's lawyer license was revoked, and then Gu Beichen found a way to restore it for her, and then she took the CA Bar exam...
In the end, she got an international lawyer license, but she never thought that the first case she handled would be so time-consuming.
It was also because of this that her outstanding performance, as well as her sharp and precise words in court, and her steady defense, caused a sensation in the entire legal community, and many people showed great interest in this oriental woman.
"Zoe, it's up to you later." An old man in the lawyer group who was traveling with her placed great hopes on Li Xiaoyue.
Li Xiaoyue smiled calmly, "I hope today is really the last court session."
The old man nodded with a smile, "It seems that you have prepared well."
"Of course." Li Xiaoyue smiled more and more brilliantly, "This case has been delayed for too long, and my friend has been waiting for me for too long... I can't delay it any longer. At least, I want to see her before the Lunar New Year."
"Well, come on!" The old man hugged Li Xiaoyue, and then the two of them took their own records and entered the court through the lawyer's exclusive passage.
When the lawyers of both sides met, there was a flash of lightning, as if the war was about to break out.
Mo Shaochen did not tell Li Xiaoyue when he came, and Li Xiaoyue naturally would not go to see who was in the audience.
"Court!"
The previous procedures were nothing special. After the judge said the basic matters that needed to be paid attention to, the two sides entered a fierce confrontation and rebuttal of verbal battles...
As both sides of the case presented more and more strong evidence against themselves, the atmosphere in the entire court became tense.
"Please ask the prosecution to make a final statement..." The judge looked at Li Xiaoyue's lawyer team and said.
Everyone looked at each other, and finally, Li Xiaoyue stood up slowly.
There was no tension, and even less fear... What she had was confidence from the inside out.
Before she came to the United States, Jian Mo gave her an English name, "Zoe".
Momo said that Zoe means life in Greek...
Momo hoped that she would be reborn, and in all the years to come, cherish everything that life has given her... And she never stopped or gave up for a moment.
The final closing statement was perfect in Mo Shaochen's eyes...
He watched Li Xiaoyue confidently talking there, and every clause and every detail of the case was placed in front of the judge without any mistakes or omissions...
She has transformed, and is no longer the little lawyer who was a little embarrassed in front of him and always felt that his halo was too overwhelming.
Today, Li Xiaoyue is glowing... It is a kind of light that comes from confidence and control of the professional field.
After Li Xiaoyue finished her closing statement, the defense also made a closing statement. Then, after the judge reminded the jury of several key points, the jury left the seat and began to discuss the final decision.
No one knows what the result will be...
At least, the lawyers in the audience all think that both the defense and the non-control party have a chance to win.
In terms of technical means, the lawyers on both sides are obviously evenly matched.
However, no matter whether this battle is won or lost, the name Zoe in the legal profession will make people shine.
"Nervous?" The old lawyer looked at Li Xiaoyue and said with a smile, "You didn't seem nervous at all just now."
"Usually, the atmosphere will be tense when waiting for the result..." Li Xiaoyue half joked.
The old man patted her shoulder and said with a smile: "You performed very well today..." After a pause, "After the case is over today, consider coming to my law firm, how about it?"
Li Xiaoyue smiled and shook her head.
The old man frowned. After all, his law firm is very famous in California and even the whole United States... There are many lawyers who want to come.
Unexpectedly, his invitation was rejected.
Li Xiaoyue just smiled lightly, "There is someone waiting for me in the distance... I have a reason to leave here."
"Lover?" The old man asked.
Li Xiaoyue just smiled more brightly, but did not answer, leaving the old man helplessly there...
Mo Shaochen just looked at Li Xiaoyue, his eyes gradually becoming darker.
It has nothing to do with other feelings. I just think that the saying "birds of a feather flock together" makes sense.
Whether it's Li Xiaoyue or Jian Mo, they are full of awe for life and desire for life...
That is the easiest thing to get in human nature, but it is often something that many people cannot grasp.
Li Xiaoyue felt the hot gaze, frowned slightly, and subconsciously looked over...
Her eyes met Mo Shaochen's, and for a moment, surprise flashed across her eyes.
Mo Shaochen just smiled at her and nodded slightly. The emotion was neither too much nor too little, but it made Li Xiaoyue's heart churn violently.
"Court!"
Li Xiaoyue was pulled back to her thoughts by the voice. She looked at Mo Shaochen quietly for two seconds before turning her head and standing up with everyone else.
The judge motioned everyone to sit down, and then, after looking at the lawyers of both sides, he read the jury's final conclusion on the case...
Everyone was nervous and stared at the judge.
"Finally, with a vote of 7 to 5, the defendant is guilty..." The judge raised his eyes and his sight swept across both parties calmly again. Just when everyone's heart was in their throat, he slowly said, "... established!"
After the last two words fell, Li Xiaoyue immediately laughed with relief...even, subconsciously, turned back to look at Mo Shaochen.
Mo Shaochen's smile was always light, but it revealed his unique elegance.
Just after the trial, he looked at Li Xiaoyue walking over and asked, "What do you want to say most at this moment?"
