With Mr. Ye watching over him, Zhou Zheng made the judgment particularly quickly this time.
The first trial is over.
Zhou Zheng was sentenced to 20 years and three months in prison for intentional injury and murder.
People from the Zhou family also flew over from Country M to attend the trial. They also found a famous overseas lawyer for him and spent a lot of money to win the lawsuit.
So when the trial results came out, not only did Zhou's mother faint on the spot, but Zhou Zheng also expressed his dissatisfaction and stated he would appeal.
…
The weather in Beijing in September is pleasant.
Qiao Nian received a message from Nie Mi early in the morning and met him at a drinking place outside Tsinghua University.
Nie Mi came to ask her about her new song.
Wen Ruxia found Nie Mi and wanted to ask Qiao Nian to compose a new song for the show.
Nie Mi came to find Qiao Nian on someone's behalf.
Qiao Nian happened to be staying in Beijing for a while, and would go to Independent Island after the matter with Zhou Zheng was settled, so he agreed.
On this side, Nie Mi was discussing the time to pick up the music with her, and then his cell phone rang. It was the school asking him to go back to discuss the campus celebration.
The Traditional Music Department will also participate in the school anniversary activities. Nie Mi has always been a free and easy-going person. In order to make more young people accept and recognize traditional music, he, an internationally renowned master, will personally guide the students who are performing this time without any airs.
So when Nie Mi received the call, he told Qiao Nian and hurried to school.
The drinking place he arranged to meet was not far from Tsinghua University, just on the side of the road opposite the university. On weekends, many students came here to drink water and chat.
Qiao Nian watched Nie Mi get up and was about to pick up his phone to pay the bill and leave.
Who knew that at this moment a flashy sports car stopped on the side of the road, and then a flamboyant and handsome man got out of the car and ran straight towards her.
"Sister Qiao, I said you look like me!"
The color of his sports car is flashy enough!
He himself had a loud voice and attracted the attention of people who were not looking in his direction with his voice.
They all looked towards them.
Qiao Nian frowned, and with Leng Bai's hands, he pulled down the brim of his hat to cover his face as much as possible, trying to pretend that he didn't know him.
Unfortunately, Qin Si didn't realize how conspicuous he was. Seeing that the girl didn't seem to recognize him, he walked over quickly and waved his hand: "Sister Qiao, what are you doing? Why are you covering your face? I can see you."
Qin Si pulled away the chair opposite Qiao Nian and sat down, glancing at the clerk beside him with his raised peach blossom eyes, seemingly unaware of the gossipy looks cast upon him from all around.
With a faint smile, he said, "Please give me a latte without sugar."
The waitress blushed instantly and ran away quickly with the plate in her arms: "Okay, okay."
Qiao Nian's head started to hurt again. He couldn't avoid it anyway, so he just faced him and asked, "Are you usually like this in front of Guan Yan?"
"Cough." Qin Si almost choked on his own saliva. His shoulders stiffened and he turned his head to look at her incredulously: "Sister Qiao, you are not going to complain, are you?"
He gave her an accusing look, as if to say, 'How could you be so heartless?'
Qiao Nian felt a worse headache. He rubbed his temple with his hand, leaned back, and sat on the back of the chair, quite speechless: "Since you don't want Guan Yan to know, can't you restrain yourself more normally?"
"You're kidding." Qin Si looked bitter and glared at her: "Sister Qiao, do you think she cares?"
Then he smiled bitterly and said, "She hasn't contacted me for ten days or half a month. She didn't even reply to the messages I sent her. Do you think she cares who I flirted with?"
