In the coffee shop, Lucy Liu and Chen Yuehua walked into the coffee shop and saw someone waving at them.

They walked over and the man introduced himself: "I'm Li Hui, Wu Tingchen's agent. Please take a seat."

After they sat down, Liu Yuling couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. She didn't know what the other party was up to. Chen Yuehua also looked at Li Hui warily.

At this time, Lucy Liu asked directly: "What is your purpose in looking for me?"

Li Hui raised his chin slightly and said, "Ms. Lucy Liu, I'm sure you know the situation from the court hearing a few days ago. The evidence is very unfavorable to you.

You will most likely be tried for intentional injury at tomorrow's court session. You will most likely be sentenced to a prison term of up to three years and a fine."

Having said that, he paused, staring at Lucy Liu, observing her expression.

At this time, Liu Yuling was very angry when she heard this. Just as she was about to refute, Li Hui interrupted her and continued:

"Of course, my purpose in looking for you is not to punish you. There is no need for us to be like enemies. If we both take a step back, I can ask our side to withdraw the lawsuit. However, there must be conditions."

Lucy Liu frowned when she heard this and asked, “Then what are your conditions?”

Li Hui showed a smug smile and said, "You just need to publicly admit in the media that you deliberately hurt Wu Tingchen at the time and publicly apologize to Wu Tingchen for your inappropriate behavior. We will withdraw the lawsuit immediately."

Upon hearing this, Lucy Liu was furious and said, "You are distorting the facts. It was clearly Wu Tingchen who had bad intentions towards me, but you are blaming him. Don't even think about asking me to apologize! I would rather risk being sentenced than give in."

After saying that, she pulled Chen Yuehua and walked out of the cafe resolutely.

The court opened again the next day. The seats in the gallery were packed with people, some even standing to listen.

Liu Yuling sat in the dock, feeling uneasy, not as confident as she was last time. She looked at Wu Tingchen's smug smile, feeling angry but helpless.

At this time, the judge banged the gavel to maintain order. In the solemn courtroom, the atmosphere froze instantly, and everyone's eyes were focused on the judge.

The plaintiff's lawyer took the lead in submitting the surveillance footage of Wang Defa entering and leaving the guest room of the Xingchen Hotel.

In the surveillance footage, Lucy Liu walked out of the guest room in an extremely embarrassed and flustered look. This scene was extremely unfavorable to her, and the people in the spectator seats could not help but whisper when they saw this surveillance footage.

Afterwards, Fu Zixuan proposed to ask the witness Wang Defa to question him again. Soon, Wang Defa sat in the witness stand, looking a little cramped, as if this position made him feel uncomfortable.

At this time, Fu Zixuan walked up to Wang Defa, his eyes shot straight at him like a sharp sword, and asked, "Excuse me, do you like gambling?"

Wang Defa listened and nodded slightly. Fu Zixuan continued to ask: "A few days ago, I found out that you had paid off a gambling debt of 100,000 yuan in one lump sum.

However, with your current income, it is simply impossible to do so. So, where does your funding come from?"

Wang Defa's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. His face was instantly filled with nervousness and he trembled slightly. His eyes wandered and his mouth opened and closed, but he didn't know how to respond.

At this time, the plaintiff's lawyer stood up suddenly to protest and said anxiously: "Your Honor, the questions asked by the defendant's lawyer have nothing to do with this case. My witness can refuse to answer."

The judge paused for a moment and said, "Defendant's lawyer, you need to give more compelling reasons to prove the relevance of this issue to this case."

At this time, Fu Zixuan did not back down, looked directly at the judge and said: "Your Honor, the source of this money is definitely not unrelated to this case. If it is not investigated, it is very likely that the case will go in the wrong direction.

Wang Defa suddenly paid off his huge gambling debts. The timing was so coincidental that one cannot help but wonder if he was bribed to give false testimony in this case.

At this time, the plaintiff's lawyer protested: "Your Honor, the defendant's lawyer used inappropriate words to slander the witness without any evidence, which may lead to perjury. I protest."

The judge thought for a moment and then said, "Okay, the defendant's lawyer should continue to ask questions, but please be careful about the method."

Fu Zixuan turned to Wang Defa again, and said in a serious tone: "Wang Defa, think about it carefully. Hiding the truth will not bring you any benefits. If you confess now, you may be able to get a lighter sentence. Where did you get the money from?"

Wang Defa turned pale and his lips trembled when he heard this. He turned his head and looked at Wu Tingchen, who was staring at him with a fierce warning look. Wang Defa seemed to have made up his mind and said:

"I won some money gambling a few days ago, and I borrowed some money from others to pay off my gambling debts. Are you satisfied now?"

Fu Zixuan continued to ask: "Then can you please tell me when and where you won the next prize? And who did you borrow the money from?"

At this time, the plaintiff's lawyer protested again: "Your Honor, the questions asked by the defendant's lawyer are indeed irrelevant to this case. Wang Defa has already disclosed the source of funds for repaying the debt. If you continue to entangle with him, without new evidence, please do not dwell on this issue too much, so as not to waste everyone's time."

After thinking for a moment, the judge asked, "Defendant's lawyer, do you have any other questions for this witness?"

Fu Zixuan replied, "Your Honor, I have no further questions."

Suddenly, a woman in the audience stood up abruptly. Her face was filled with grief and indignation. She pointed her trembling fingers at Wu Tingchen in the plaintiff's seat and shouted:

"Wu Tingchen is a beast in human form! My daughter was his fan, but she was ruined by him after attending his fan meeting last year.

My daughter didn't dare to tell me and finally committed suicide due to depression. A few days ago, I found a letter in a book left by my daughter and learned the truth. He looked bright and beautiful on the outside, but he was extremely dirty on the inside! "

The reporters' flashbulbs lit up instantly and the scene was in chaos.

Upon seeing this, the judge quickly signaled the bailiff to take the woman out of the courtroom. Then, the judge quickly maintained order and the trial continued.

At this time, Fu Zixuan requested the presence of witness Wang Xiaoxiao. Wang Xiaoxiao sat in the witness stand, her nervousness clearly visible in her slightly trembling body.

Fu Zixuan asked seriously, "What's your name? What's your occupation? What's your experience and entanglement with Wu Tingchen? Please tell me briefly."

Wang Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and said slowly: "My name is Wang Xiaoxiao, and I don't have a job at the moment. Three months ago, I was abused by Wu Tingchen at a fan meeting.

Afterwards, he gave me some money to suppress the incident. I have been living in pain and didn't know what to do. It was not until I stood here today that I mustered up the courage to tell the truth. "

Although Wang Xiaoxiao's voice was not loud, it was exceptionally clear in the quiet courtroom. Every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart.

At this point, Wu Tingchen could no longer sit still in the plaintiff's seat. He stood up and shouted, "I don't even know you! Don't throw dirty water on me without any evidence! Have you been bribed by the defendant's lawyer?"

At this time, Wang Xiaoxiao shouted with all her might: "I was not bribed, I told the truth! And I am pregnant, the child is yours!"

When Wu Tingchen heard this, his eyes suddenly widened and his face was full of shock. He swayed a bit and slumped down on the stool, looking confused.

The courtroom fell silent for a moment, and everyone was stunned by this sudden situation.
