Prosecutor vs. Minister: A Battle of Wits
Chapter 34 - 034: Winning the Case, She Will Shine

Chapter 34: Chapter 034: Winning the Case, She Will Shine

The courtroom was still in a stalemate, but in fact, the outcome was already clear.

"Prosecutor, do you wish to summon the witness?"

At this point, whether the witness shows up or not won’t affect the final result.

Furthermore, Chen Lexiongxi is still lying in the hospital and is really unfit to testify in court.

Jiang Tong shook her head, "The prosecutor’s witness cannot be present."

"Alright." The judge paused and glanced at Shen Anru, "Now, please have the defense explain the matter of evidence forgery."

Upon hearing this, Shen Anru’s face turned pale.

This was exactly what she feared would happen.

She moved her lips, just about to say something, when Li Changhui interrupted her directly.

"It’s not her fault, I forged the age. She is unaware."

As soon as he spoke, everyone in the courtroom started to stir.

Even Shen Anru glanced at him sideways with surprise.

She never thought Li Changhui would do this...

Sitting at the prosecution’s bench, Jiang Tong let out a cold laugh.

Is Li Changhui trying to exonerate Shen Anru?

Tsk.

This Li Changhui does know something; he understands that they are now in the same boat.

Keeping Shen Anru outside is beneficial for his own plea for a reduced sentence.

"Defendant, are you saying that you orchestrated this matter alone and no one incited you?"

"Yes."

"Alright." The judge frowned slightly, "Does the prosecutor have any objections?"

Jiang Tong casually twirled the pen in her hand, her gaze lazy, "No objections."

No matter what Li Changhui says, it won’t affect the final outcome.

She certainly had no objections.

Moreover, after this incident, Shen Anru is practically a pariah in the legal community.

This is even more torturous than sending her directly to prison.

"Alright, a fifteen-minute recess."

In the observation gallery.

"Wonderful, exquisite."

The old man sitting in the gallery, wearing a Zhongshan suit, gazed at Jiang Tong with burning eyes, constantly praising.

Next to him sat a middle-aged man in casual clothes, observing Jiang Tong in the courtroom, lost in thought.

"Elder Ji, clearly she could have handled things more ruthlessly, why didn’t she?" After a long time, he uttered this sentence.

The old man, referred to as Elder Ji, chuckled lightly, "It’s very simple."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"She doesn’t deserve it."

This "she" obviously referred to Shen Anru.

Middle-aged man: "..."

This reason...

It’s just too simple and blunt, isn’t it?

Elder Ji stroked the white beard under his chin, nodding in satisfaction, "Very good, it’s rare to see such a promising talent, remember to cultivate her well, the Supreme Prosecution has a future."

This kind of young person who knows when to advance and when to retreat is rare.

Most importantly, the arrogant and flamboyant aura she carried was bold yet not repulsive.

The middle-aged man glanced at Elder Ji in astonishment.

So many from the main court were not to Ji Hezhou’s satisfaction.

Now, on his first outing, has he already decided on the future successor of the Supreme Prosecution?

...

Xiehe Hospital.

The image of Jiang Tong in the courtroom was pushed to Bao Nan’s iPad.

The girl on the screen, always brimming with confidence in what she excelled at.

Bao Nan’s fingers gently slid across the screen, his cold eyes full of longing for her.

On the bedside cabinet in the ward was a journal and a photo of Jiang Tong in the courtroom that Zuo Luan had just printed for him.

Bao Nan carefully opened the journal to a blank page.

Then he glued Jiang Tong’s most beautiful photo onto it and picked up a pen.

She still shines as she did before.
