Zhou's mother also asked: "Do you understand?"
When Zhou's father heard this, he frowned with some disapproval... What do you mean they will stop associating with Zhou Xuxing as soon as he is fine? It's as if they are so ungrateful.
He did not refute anything in public, firstly because it was inappropriate to have so many people around, and secondly because what his wife said was ridiculous. With Qiao Nian's status, when they returned to Beijing, it was better to say that they were not in the same class as others, and it was impossible for them to get close to them.
Dai Jiaqi agreed vaguely: "I know, aunt."
"Just don't cause any trouble." Zhou's mother felt relieved and gave an extra reminder.
"Ah... Yeah."
Dai Jiaqi felt inexplicably guilty and avoided her gaze, becoming more and more vague.
It was a pity that Zhou's mother was so busy talking that she didn't notice her guilty and evasive look, so Liang Feng came over and arranged for her to go to court.
*
Today is the day when the sensational case of Zhou Xuxing stealing confidential information opens. It is also the first trial, which has attracted a lot of media attention.
I won’t talk about the local media in Country M.
They started recording outside the court early in the morning. Most of them stood on their own country's side and insisted that Zhou Xuxing had stolen their secrets.
There are also some international media that, in line with the principle of fairness, did not say whether the theft occurred or not, but simply explained the whole story to the audience again.
Some media outlets have taken a different approach to gain attention and thought of analyzing the combat effectiveness of the legal teams on both sides.
Someone inevitably mentioned Michelle.
"…This lawyer is famous internationally. As one of the lawyers in Country M who has never lost a case, I didn't expect him to be in the Zhou family's legal team this time and represent the Zhou family in this lawsuit. One is the FBI and the other is a lawyer. It is very important to see who will gain the upper hand today. Let's wait and see!"
…
The Z Country convoy arrived outside the court from the W Hotel under police escort.
With the local police maintaining order at the scene, they were able to enter the court smoothly and avoid being surrounded by reporters. Dai Jiaqi followed Zhou's mother and saw how many media and reporters were outside, and knew how big the scene was today.
Her face had already turned pale and she looked uneasy.
However, the trial was about to begin in less than half an hour.
No one noticed the expression on her face in the corner, and everyone started to meet to make the final arrangements.
The FBI also came and occupied one end.
Since they came in, he has been looking at them frequently, his eyes are sharp and unfriendly. The atmosphere in the courtroom seems calm, but undercurrents are surging...
"Q, come here." Michelle said a few words to Liang Feng and the others, then waved for the girl to come over.
Qiao Nian still wore a cap today, and as an observer, he walked over in a low-key manner: "What's wrong?"
Michelle stood with Liang Feng and Liang Conglin, handed her a yellow file bag with a smile, and said, "Take a look at the direction of our next lawsuit."
"?"
Qiao Nian didn't reach out to take it, his tight work shoes stepped on the ground and wrapped his calves tightly.
“I’m not good at this.”
Michelle gave Liang Conglin a look that said "you decide" and shrugged helplessly: "Your principal said he will check it for you."
Qiao Nian glanced towards Liang Conglin.
Liang Conglin was also looking at her, and said with some concern: "Take a look, my left eye is twitching badly, and I always feel uneasy." (End of this chapter)
