Two hours later.
The FBI officer sat in a chair with a pale face, gasping for breath. Even though the blood vessels in his neck were bulging with anger, he seemed to be at a loss for words and could not utter a single word.
In comparison, Liang Feng seemed much calmer. He even had the mood to unscrew the bottle cap and take a sip of water, as if he was ready to continue.
Even if the court president was biased, he could only rule that Zhou Xuxing won the case given the huge disparity between the two parties.
There was a cheer from the audience, and the Zhou family was even more excited, and they all stood up and applauded.
Qiao Nian also raised the corner of her mouth on the stage. Compared with the Zhou family, she was much calmer and knew very well that this was just the beginning.
Their victory in the first lawsuit only means that they can find a lawyer to go through the process to temporarily bail Zhou Xuxing out, but it does not mean that Zhou Xuxing can return to China immediately.
*
The trial is over.
Under the escort of police officers, everyone returned to the W Hotel.
Liang Feng and Qiao Nian said hello and prepared to go to the FBI to go through the bail procedure. They won the first lawsuit and according to the rules they could temporarily bail the person out.
Liang Feng asked her if she wanted to go.
Qiao Nian supported himself with his hands, looked at the Zhou family members who came in later, raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at him: "No, I have other things to deal with."
"What's the matter?" Liang Feng turned around and saw Zhou's father and mother and Dai Jiaqi hiding in the crowd. He immediately retracted his gaze, nodded to Qiao Nian, and lowered his voice: "Okay, it's not convenient for me to participate. I'll go first."
"Um."
Qiao Nian didn't make things difficult for him and gestured for him to get busy.
When Liang Feng passed by Old Lady Zhou, he nodded politely, said hello, and hurriedly left the hotel lobby to pick someone up.
…
In a blink of an eye, only the Zhou family and the girls who were confronting each other were left.
Zhou's mother was vaguely aware of something, and looked back at her cowering niece, then at the girl with sharp lines and her hands in her pockets. Zhou's mother's eyelids twitched a few times, and she quickly rushed over, grabbed the girl's wrist, and begged, "Qiao, Qiao Nian, let's go over and talk."
Qiao Nian lowered his eyes and saw that she was holding his hands tightly, showing her nervousness. He then raised his eyelids and looked up, meeting Zhou Mu's eyes, which were again filled with requests.
According to her personality, she has always been very tolerant towards elders who are older than herself, not to mention that Zhou's mother asked her to talk to someone nearby in public.
She usually gives face.
But today is different.
Qiao Nian pulled his hand away and used two fingers to push away Zhou's mother's hand that was pulling him. Half of his face was submerged in the shadows, unable to hide his sharp black eyes.
"You were involved, too?"
"Me? How could it be! He is my son, I..." Zhou's mother shook her head violently. Halfway through her words, she touched the girl's frosty eyes and suddenly let go of her hand in shame.
Dai Jiaqi is her niece.
But Zhou Xuxing is her son.
She...understood the meaning of the question Qiao Nian asked her.
Qiao Nian ignored the pale and blue changes on Zhou's mother's face, looked at the crowd a few steps away, his eyes fell directly on the figure hiding in the crowd, and spoke slowly.
"I said before that I would check who took Michelle's bag of documents after the trial."
In the crowd, Dai Jiaqi's snow-white face trembled, her deer-like eyes were filled with panic, and she lowered her head anxiously, not daring to raise it at all.
How to do how to do…
She clenched her teeth, extremely frightened. After overcoming the initial hesitation and uneasiness, Dai Jiaqi secretly raised her head and looked over.
The girl raised her hand, holding a disc between her fingers, and said in a light tone: "I just got the surveillance video of the trial. Do you want to watch it together?"
