Yan Jin's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in Xiang Yu's ears. He stood up suddenly, his usually calm face covered with dark clouds: "What?! They actually dared!"

Yan Jin took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She knew that now was not the time to panic and she had to come up with a plan as soon as possible. "Where is Witness Wang? How is he now?" Xiang Yu asked hurriedly, with a barely perceptible tremor in his tone.

Yan Jin tried his best to recall what was said on the phone: "He said... they asked him to go to the entrance of the court..."

Xiang Yu made a prompt decision: "Let's go! Go to the court right now!"

The two drove to the court. Along the way, the atmosphere in the car was so depressing that it was almost suffocating. Yan Jin held the phone tightly, her palms full of cold sweat. She kept telling herself to stay calm, but the voice of witness Wang's fear and despair kept flashing in her mind.

Arriving at the courthouse gate, they saw Witness Wang standing there, his face pale and his eyes empty, like a walking corpse. Beside him, several burly men were staring at him covetously, and they were obviously sent by the kidnappers to monitor him.

"Mr. Wang!" Yan Jin walked forward quickly but was stopped by one of the big men.

"Don't come over here!" the big man warned fiercely, "If you take another step forward, don't blame us for being rude!"

Xiang Yu protected Yan Jin behind him, his eyes swept through those people like a knife, his tone was icy cold: "I advise you to let him go, otherwise..."

"What else?" A cold voice came from behind the crowd, and a thin man wearing sunglasses slowly walked out, "Mr. Xiang, long time no see."

Xiang Yu's pupils shrank slightly, and he recognized the person at a glance: "It's you?!"

The man sneered and ignored Xiang Yu. Instead, he looked at Witness Wang and said in a grim tone, "Mr. Wang, I hope you have thought it over carefully. Is your wife more important, or is your life more important?"

Witness Wang was trembling all over and closed his eyes in despair.

At this moment, Yan Jin's phone suddenly rang. It was the Patent Office calling. She took a deep breath and answered the call.

"Boss Yan, good news! Good news!" On the other end of the phone, Inspector Li's voice could not hide his excitement, "We have found evidence! The other company's patent does have serious plagiarism and violations, and now their patent has been revoked!"

Yan Jin's hand holding the phone trembled slightly, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"Mr. Yan, are you still listening?" Inspector Li's voice came again.

"Yes, I'm listening." Yan Jin took a deep breath, trying to suppress his inner excitement, and said calmly, "I understand. Thank you, Inspector Li."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Jin looked at the smug man on the other side, and a cold arc appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It seems that you came here for nothing today." As soon as Yan Jin finished speaking, the air around him seemed to freeze. The smile on the face of the man wearing sunglasses froze, and his eyes widened in disbelief. Witness Wang seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his originally empty eyes.

"Impossible!" The man growled, gritting his teeth. "This is impossible! How could you possibly..."

Xiang Yu stepped forward, blocking Yan Jin behind him, looking down at him, his tone cold and firm: "Nothing is impossible. Evil cannot prevail over justice. You maliciously infringed on intellectual property rights and obstructed witnesses from testifying in court. The law will definitely give a fair trial for these crimes!"

Yan Jin ignored the man's increasingly ugly expression, turned around and walked to Witness Wang, and said in a gentle but firm tone: "Mr. Wang, please rest assured that we will protect your safety and will definitely seek justice for you."

Witness Wang looked at Yan Jin gratefully and nodded vigorously. He knew that he had made the right bet.

On the same day, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu submitted the latest evidence to the court. After urgent consultation, the court decided to reopen the case and required the other company to provide more evidence within the specified time to prove the legitimacy of its patent.

When the news came out, public opinion was in an uproar. The public opinion that originally overwhelmingly supported the other company began to change, and more and more people began to pay attention to the truth behind this case.

The day of the re-opening of the court soon arrived. In the court, the lawyers of both sides were at loggerheads, arguing back and forth, neither side giving in. After careful preparation, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu's legal team refuted every point of the other side's lawyers with reason and evidence, and submitted a large amount of evidence to the court to prove that the other company had engaged in malicious competition and that its patents also had serious plagiarism and violations.

"... In summary, we believe that the other party's so-called patent is completely based on lies and deception. Their actions have seriously violated relevant laws and regulations and should be severely punished by law!" Yan Jin's lawyer stated passionately, "At the same time, we also hope that the court can give justice to our client and maintain fairness and justice!"

The opposing lawyer's face turned pale, and he wanted to make a final struggle, but was interrupted by the judge's stern shout: "Silence!"

The judge looked solemn, his eyes swept across the room, finally landing on the other lawyer, and slowly said: "In view of the seriousness of the case, this court decides..."

Before he could finish his words, the door of the court was suddenly pushed open, and a voice rang out hurriedly: "Wait a minute!"

Everyone looked and saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses and plain clothes quickly walking into the courtroom. He was holding a document bag in his hand and had a serious expression on his face.

"I am Li Ming, an examiner of the State Intellectual Property Office. I was entrusted by the court to conduct a detailed investigation and collect evidence on this patent dispute case." Li Ming said as he showed his ID to the judge and then walked straight to the witness stand.

His appearance was like dropping a stone into a calm lake, instantly stirring up waves. People in the audience were talking among themselves. No one had expected that someone from the Patent Office would show up at this critical moment.

"Examiner Li, what are the results of your investigation?" The judge signaled Li Ming that he could begin his statement.

"After comparing and analyzing the patent application materials, technical documents and related evidence provided by both parties, we found that the patent application materials submitted by the other party contained serious fraud and plagiarism." Li Ming's voice was steady and powerful, and every word was powerful. "They tampered with key technical parameters and deliberately concealed the high similarity with the plaintiff's products."

Li Ming's testimony was like a heavy hammer, hitting the other party's lawyers and company representatives hard. They originally thought that as long as they insisted on their actions and manipulated public opinion, they could muddy the waters and eventually let the case go. However, they never expected that the National Patent Office would actually intervene in the investigation!

Yan Jin's lawyer seized the opportunity and stood up to ask, "Examiner Li, can you explain in detail how the other company fabricated and plagiarized?"

Li Ming nodded, opened the file bag in his hand, took out a number of documents and charts, and displayed them on the big screen in the court. He pointed to a place marked in red and explained, "Please look here. This is the technical parameter of the core component in the patent application materials submitted by the other company, and this is the patent technical parameter that the plaintiff company has already applied for and obtained authorization. After our comparison, we found that the two are highly similar, and can almost be considered as direct plagiarism."

As Li Ming explained, the atmosphere in the courtroom became more and more solemn. The opposing lawyer began to sweat on his forehead. He knew that today's lawsuit was likely to end in disaster for them...

Li Ming finished his statement and returned to his seat. The judge sternly knocked the gavel, looked around the room, and finally landed on the opposing lawyer, saying word by word: "Defendant's lawyer, do you have anything else to say in defense of Prosecutor Li's testimony?"

The opposing lawyer opened his mouth, but found his throat dry and couldn't say a word. He looked at his client for help, but only saw the other party's pale face and evasive eyes.

At this moment, Xiang Yu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up. He stared sharply at the representative of the other company and spoke word by word with an icy voice: "I hope you understand that justice may be late, but it will never be absent!"

The opposing lawyer sat weakly on the chair, his face pale. He opened his mouth and tried to make a final struggle, but failed under the judge's sharp gaze. He knew that the situation was hopeless and no amount of defense would help.

In the end, the court ruled on the spot, dismissing all the claims of the other company, and ordered the other company to stop the infringement, make a public apology, and compensate Yan Jin and Xiang Yu's company for the huge economic losses.

When the verdict was announced, thunderous applause broke out in the audience. Yan Jin and Xiang Yu's colleagues hugged each other excitedly and cried with joy. They had experienced a long wait and suffering, and finally welcomed the dawn of victory.

Yan Jin's tense nerves finally relaxed, and a long-lost smile appeared on her face. She turned her head to look at Xiang Yu beside her, only to find that he was also looking at her, with a complex light flashing in his deep eyes.

"We won." Xiang Yu's voice was low and magnetic, with a barely perceptible tremor.

"Yes, we won." Yan Jin repeated, his eyes slightly moist.

This victory not only means that the interests of their company have been protected, but more importantly, it proves that their persistence and efforts have not been in vain and that justice will ultimately prevail over evil.

When the news reached the company, the whole company was in an uproar. Employees spontaneously gathered downstairs of the company, holding up banners, beating gongs and drums to celebrate this hard-won victory.

"Boss Yan, we won! We won!"

"Mr. Xiang, you are so awesome!"

……

Listening to the cheers of the employees, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu smiled at each other. At this moment, the distance between them seemed to have shortened a lot.

At night, Yan Jin sat alone in the office, processing piles of documents. Outside the window, the city's night scene was brightly lit, reflecting her tired but satisfied face.

"Dong dong dong..."

A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.

"Come in."

The door opened, and Xiang Yu's tall figure appeared at the door. He was holding two cups of coffee in his hands, with a faint smile on his face.

"Are you not off work yet?" Xiang Yu walked to the desk and placed one of the cups of coffee in front of Yan Jin.

"Well, there are still some things to deal with." Yan Jin raised his head, took the coffee and took a sip.

"Don't work too hard and get some rest early." Xiang Yu's gaze fell on her slightly tired face, and a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.

"I know." Yan Jin responded calmly and continued to work with his head down.

Xiang Yu looked at her focused back, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Yan Jin, you..."

Before he could finish his words, Yan Jin interrupted him: "Mr. Xiang, if there is nothing else, I will work first."

Xiang Yu took a deep breath and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. He nodded, turned around and left the office.

The office door closed gently, leaving Yan Jin alone, facing the desk full of documents, the flashing neon lights outside the window, and the gradually cooling coffee...
