Although it was somewhat humiliating for a judge to be manipulated by a lawyer, the mere thought of the evidence Cheng Xin held sent a chill down the judge’s spine. If Cheng Xin were to actually leak those materials, it wouldn’t just be Li Na’s downfall.
Standing in the courtroom, Cheng Xin watched the judge, who looked triumphant yet was clearly struggling to maintain a facade of composure. Cheng Xin couldn’t help but feel a twinge of confusion. Was the verdict for Li Na a bit too harsh? The charges of image rights infringement and rumor-mongering were understandable, but incitement of social unrest and illegal mobilization? Didn't that seem a bit of a stretch? With all these charges stacked together, the sentence was no laughing matter.
Cheng Xin rubbed his chin, quickly considering a possibility. Could this judge be one of those old-fashioned, righteous types who couldn't tolerate a single grain of sand in their eyes? Well, that was fine, too. At the very least, it meant there were still plenty of good people in this world. With that thought, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he offered the judge a sincere smile.
