269 Sharp-tongued
Shan Yue’s sharp eyes faded. “President Tang, you’re really sharp-tongued. For a moment, you’re talking as if you’re not the defendant. It’s obvious that you’ve made a lot of preparations in advance. To be able to be so calm and composed on such an occasion, you’re indeed the second young entrepreneur in the Federation City, second only to Zhou Xuan.”
“President Shan, you’re indeed overpraising me. Speaking of which, haven’t you practiced a lot? Who can be much stronger than the other?”
Cheng Yue watched as their excuses began to derail. If they continued, it would probably develop to an uncontrollable extent. It would be difficult to determine an absolute winner for a moment. After thinking for two seconds, he decided to stop the conversation.
Cheng Yue held the small mallet in his hand very seriously. “In view of the fact that both the plaintiff and the defendant have their own arguments, we’ll move on to the next segment of the “court debate”. The parties and the defense lawyer will argue and argue about the disputed facts and legal issues. The final outcome will be under the auspices of the court. The two parties will agree to resolve the dispute. Whether they can reach a final mediation will be decided by both parties.”
At this moment, the war between Xi Feng and Ning Rong had just officially begun. The moment they came up, they mercilessly asked questions and pressed on with sharp conversations like waves.
However, Ning Rong, who had been in the legal world for many years, was naturally not to be trifled with. After all, he had fought with Xi Feng once and knew his questioning method and attack rhythm very well. He answered the corresponding questions in an orderly manner.
Even the people on the spectator stand and Cheng Yue, who was at the top, could not help but sigh. As expected of the top lawyer of a hundred battles, Xi Feng. As expected, reputation was not as good as meeting him. Today, he really deserved this title. Shan Yue’s promise to him had really come true.
The debate that followed became more and more intense. Even Shan Yue and Tang Li could not interrupt.
When one party raised a question, the other party could immediately answer it, as if it was a formula that had already been set up in their minds. The audience was dumbfounded. The governor, who had always been known for his stability, and the elites of various industries could not help but exclaim and praise them.
“Lawyer Xi, it turns out that you’re just so-so today.” Ning Rong’s lips were curled into a mocking smile. “No matter how sharp your questions are and how targeted they are, you should know very well in your heart. There’s only one answer I can give you. Your evidence isn’t enough to prove that the smuggler is President Tang, so don’t waste your breath. No matter how much time you waste, you won’t be able to win this lawsuit.”
Xi Feng was not flustered at all. His tone was very calm. “It’s too early for Lawyer Ning to say that. Even if the evidence in front of us is not enough to completely charge Miss Tang Li, it’s difficult to get rid of her suspicion. No matter who it is, there must be someone in the Tang Corporation controlling the smuggling of firearms.”
The tense atmosphere spread across the field, as if it was pressing down on everyone’s nerves. The tense atmosphere was gradually making it difficult for them to breathe.
Seeing that the two sides had been arguing, Tang Li decided to take the last step she had prepared. She first gave the audience a look. The moment she met Tang Xia’s gaze, Tang Xia immediately understood the meaning in her eyes. Seeing this, a trace of intriguing joy flashed across Tang Li’s expression.
Below the stage, Tang Xia quietly leaned over to the assistant and covered his mouth with one hand. “The time has come. It’s your turn to go on stage. Don’t feel pressured. We’ll prepare everything for you. You won’t be in there for long. I’ll think of a way to get you out soon.”
The assistant turned to look at Tang Xia without saying anything, but her gaze gradually became firm. Then, she nodded slightly and stood up. Among the crowd, her petite figure stood out.
“Your Honor, I’m Miss Tang Li’s assistant. Please adjourn the debate and give me a chance. I have something to say.” The assistant was not as afraid as she had imagined. Instead, she appeared very calm.
