At the café, Gu Qianlin’s heart was already in turmoil from the astonishment she was feeling. She knew better than anyone else that, even though Zhang Dashan was the one showing his face in court, the real representative for Luo’s Workshop was the man in front of her: Xiao Luo.
How was this even possible?
He was evenly matched with the great lawyer, Fu Heyu!
She discovered that Xiao Luo was indeed a man with mysterious unplumbed depths. It was like he was shrouded in a layer of mist that nobody could penetrate.
At this moment, Xiao Luo was putting his heart and soul into the public trial. He was entirely focused on the laptop screen in front of him, acting as though Gu Qianlin, who sat opposite him, did not exist.

“Y-you! You!”
Interrupted by Zhang Dashan’s crude comments, Fu Heyu pointed at him, and his entire body trembled with rage. From a young age, he had received a good education, and he never used indecent speech. Even when he was scolding someone, he did not use profanity. He could not tolerate people like Zhang Dashan, who continually used coarse language.
“I-I-I what?” Zhang Dashan mimicked Fu Heyu’s stutter. “I just had to let out a fart. It shouldn’t hinder Lawyer Fu’s defense, so get on with it!”
Next to him, Li Zimeng burned with shame. She was a lady, after all, and sitting here was way too awkward for her. She could not control her natural embarrassment. Every time she heard Zhang Dashan make a crude remark, her heart beat faster, and her face flushed red.
The solemn gavel sounded: “Dong, dong, dong!”
The presiding judge warned, “Plaintiff, please respect the rules of the court’s discipline. The next time you say anything vulgar, this court will have you thrown out!”
“Presiding judge, I did let out a fart. Never mind. Let’s get back to the topic at hand. As regards the defense lawyer’s claim that the bread from Luo’s Workshop poisoned a man to death, I have a couple of doubts.
“Number one: why did Liu Huilong, the one who published the autopsy report, suddenly leave his job as a doctor in Jiangcheng and ensure his whereabouts remain unknown? Was it a deliberate move to avoid this trial and deny us the chance to confront him face to face?
“Number two: the old man who visited our Luo’s Workshop outpost to buy bread was already in bad condition when he stepped through the door. According to our investigation, he was already suffering from chronic rheumatic heart disease, a type of disease that can lead to sudden death upon stimulation. Is it, therefore, possible that the old man suffered a heart attack leading to sudden death, so his demise has nothing to do with Luo’s Workshop?
“Number three: based on the two doubts I’ve just pointed out, doesn’t everyone feel like there’s a huge conspiracy behind this whole incident?”
The doubts that Zhang Dashan threw out were like three huge mountains crashing down. Everyone watching picked up the scent of some kind of earth-shattering conspiracy.
“Objection. The opposition is trying to throw us off. The topics of today’s hearing are the threats and intimidation of Luo’s Workshop.”
“All of the questions I am asking are all related to this lawsuit. Why are you suddenly so nervous, Lawyer Fu? Are you feeling guilty?” Zhang Dashan snapped, cutting him off.
“What nonsense. I’m not feeling guilty!”
“Right, right, right. You’re not feeling guilty. You just have a kidney deficiency.”
