My CEO Husband Has Some Issues-Chapter 1169 - 1170: The Person Li Shengxiao is Looking for is Nick

"What’s going on, what’s going on? Why all the noise; this is a courtroom, and loud clamor is not permitted. Family members of the defendant, please take a seat. And to the other journalists, kindly maintain silence. If you continue to conduct interviews during the trial, I will have the staff escort you out!"

As he spoke, the previously noisy scene immediately fell silent.

Jiang Meiqi, despite her unwillingness, could only watch from a distance as the emaciated figure took a seat in the defendant’s dock.

Before reaching the defendant’s seat, Rong Weiwei seemed to struggle for a moment, as if attempting to break free from the police’s grip, but she was given no opportunity; the police placed her in the defendant’s seat.

Rong Yan was absent, with only Nick and Capital City’s most famous attorney present in her stead.

Jiang Meiqi anxiously looked at the empty seat beside her, hating Rong Nanfeng for his heartlessness, and as she turned her gaze to the vacant spot belonging to Rong Yan, her frustration and fury intensified.

That little bitch actually didn’t show up today.

Without Rong Yan, she felt as if her heart was suspended in mid-air, unable to find a place to rest.

"Bang, bang!" Lost in her chaotic thoughts, the judge overhead glanced at the time and struck the gavel, "The time for this public trial has arrived. Everyone, please be silent. Court recorder, be ready to document the proceedings."

"Yes, Your Honor." The court officer, responsible for recording the trial, stood up in uniform, replying crisply.

"Mhm." The judge hummed toward him, signaling him to sit down.

Then the judge looked toward the plaintiff’s side and said, "All right, the prosecution and the victim may now state your claims."

The man in the plaintiff’s dock was strikingly handsome, his mixed features were particularly conspicuous in the courtroom. Dressed in a dark checkered suit, he was tall and well-built, with pronounced features. After the court finished speaking, he stood up leisurely, his voice husky with a foreign accent as he said, "On behalf of Ms. Rong Yan, I am attending this trial in her place. We encountered Ms. Rong Weiwei at a film celebration banquet where Ms. Rong Weiwei, under the pretext of getting married, offered us a drink and drugged it. Afterward, she colluded with the hotel staff and hired a few thugs in an attempt to assault Ms. Rong Yan. Fortunately, Ms. Rong Yan was able to wait for a friend to come to her rescue and was timely taken to the hospital. But this event has caused us tremendous emotional distress and nearly led to irreversible consequences. Therefore, we request that the law imposes the deserved punishment on the offender. Your Honor, my statement is concluded."

"Thank you, please take a seat."

Rong Yan didn’t expect Li Shengxiao to send Nick as her representative.

She stared at the man sitting in the plaintiff’s dock, his magnificence almost making her dazed.

Next, the judge allowed the prosecution, attorney of the plaintiff, and attorney of the defendant to each make a statement.

Finally, his focus narrowed on the woman standing in the defendant’s dock, her face pale. "Now it’s the defendant’s time to make a statement. Do you have anything to say, please express yourself."

Rong Weiwei, in a daze, lifted her head and looked first at him with a bewildered gaze, then to the people on either side waiting for her to speak, and then aimlessly towards the cameras at the back.

Her body started to tremble uncontrollably, her lips tightly pursed, she looked helplessly toward Jiang Meiqi.

Jiang Meiqi’s heart broke when she was looked at; she wanted nothing more than to rush up and embrace her, "Weiwei, don’t be afraid."

"Please remain silent," the judge reminded with dissatisfaction, then looked back at the shaking defendant, "Defendant, do you have nothing to say? If not, we will proceed."
