Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Meng Jinyang’s case became the most discussed topic in the entire country and was regarded as an important matter by the higher-ups. The court case started a week later.
On that day, Gu Mang and Meng Jinyang took a day off from school. Lu Chengzhou’s SUV was outside the school gates when they walked out of school. The window of the backseat lowered, revealing a man in a suit. His shirt was buttoned to the very top, giving him a strong ascetic vibe.
His sharp and cold gaze was icy and wicked. He had a face that drove countless women mad over him. There was an unlit cigarette hanging in his mouth as he conversed on the phone. Upon seeing Gu Mang, he said a few words into his phone and hung up.
He took the cigarette from his mouth, threw it in the ashtray, and got out of the car.
Gu Mang’s eyes were half-narrowed as she glanced at the sun. She pursed her lips slightly and pushed the brim of her cap down.
Lu Chengzhou walked over with a hand in his pocket. Gesturing to the car with his chin, he said, “Let’s go, get in the car.”
Gu Mang nodded.
Before getting into the car, Gu Mang suddenly moved close to the man and said in a low voice, “Is this my designated chauffeur?”
Lu Chengzhou raised an eyebrow. He looked quite seductive and the corner of his eyes glittered with a wicked quality.
Gu Mang looked at him blandly. “What for?”
“What do you think?” Lu Chengzhou’s voice was low and there seemed to be a smile in his eyes.
Gu Mang narrowed her eyes, smirked lightly, and said nothing. She got into the car.
In the driver’s seat, Lu Yī’s eyes expressed confusion.
This case had absolutely nothing to do with them, yet his young master came all the way here from the capital to receive Miss Gu.
…
They arrived at the court in Ming City. Meng Jinyang’s photographs had already been uploaded to the internet and therefore everyone knew what she looked like. The reporters who camped there early to see her hauled their video equipment and microphone, leaping at her. Just then, a group of black suited men came from nowhere and blocked the reporters.
Gu Mang and the rest entered the court expressionlessly.
Court started at 10 in the morning.
Upon seeing the stick-thin middle-aged man in the defendant’s seat, Meng Jinyang’s breathing became a little heavy and hatred emanated from her gaze. She took a deep breath, pursed her lips, and sat in the plaintiff’s seat.
Jiang Shenyuan had prepared the evidence long in advance. He looked calm and composed, but his words were incisive and cold. In ten short minutes, Cao Gang’s lawyers were at a loss for words from his speech. One hour later, the judge hammered on his gavel to give their verdict. Cao Gang was sentenced to death.
The video of the trial was being streamed online. When the words “sentenced to death” were said, online netizens cheered. Everyone was satisfied!
Gu Mang sat cross-legged in the public gallery. She crossed her fingers and cracked them, then moved her chin slightly and fixed a pair of heavy black eyes on Cao Gang. It was a cold, crafty gaze, and it had a wicked redness to it. This person should have died 12 years ago.
Court ended.
When Gu Mang and Meng Jinyang stepped outside together, they saw a woman with a reporter pass standing in the lobby of the court.
The woman was carrying a video camera and there was a pen holding her long hair up at the back of her head.
“Gu Mang,” called the woman as she walked towards them. Upon seeing Lu Chengzhou, she said in a surprised tone, “Young Master Lu, is this the case that you previously asked me to do an interview for?”
Lu Chengzhou looked at Gu Mang with his deep black eyes. He grunted in acknowledgement.
The woman smiled and said, “What a coincidence. I am here today because someone asked me to as well.”
She wagged her brows at Gu Mang. With a hand in his pocket, Lu Chengzhou looked at Gu Mang with even more interest in his eyes. She even knew the most highly regarded reporter, Song Han, from the capital’s news channels. Song Han was the top-notch reporter in Country Z.
Gu Mang spoke mildly. “I will give you half an hour. We still need to go back to class.”
Song Han rolled her eyes, too lazy to expose her. “Boss, you have to first find me a place to do interview.”
Lu Chengzhou thought for a couple of seconds, then said, “Let’s go to Seal Palace. I have a condominium nearby.”
Meng Jinyang looked at Gu Mang, a little stunned.
Gu Mang said nothing in response.
…
A group of people arrived at Seal Palace in a car.
Upon seeing Lu Chengzhou hand a black card to security, Gu Mang frowned and sent Lin Shuang a message on her phone.
