Chapter 290: Chapter 180 Thin Cocoon_2

"Mom, there’s no rush with the child..." Duan Feixun comforted his mother, "We’re still young... Don’t think about this for now, if there is any news, I will tell you right away..."

After a few more words with his mother, Duan Feixun hung up the phone and saw that Zheng Tong had only eaten half of her meal before she was about to leave.

"I’m full!" Zheng Tong stood up, ready to go upstairs.

Duan Feixun reached out and took her small hand, gazing at her, "Tongtong, I didn’t mean to pressure you to have children. My mom has high blood pressure, I was just placating her... You’ve only eaten a little bit, how can you be full already? Eat some more, you’ve been losing weight recently..."

Zheng Tong looked at him: "I already had two bowls of soup, I’m really full. This is my own home, how could I possibly feel restrained? You go ahead and eat!"

She said, pulling her small hand out of his grasp and then walked upstairs.

Duan Feixun watched her disappearing back; he sat at the table, continuing to eat alone, the food tasting as flavorless as wax.

The courthouse.

Because Gao Yang’s case was going to trial, Bei Ran didn’t ask Zong Zheng’s mother-in-law to come. It’s not easy for an elderly person to take care of a big child, moreover, Zong Zheng hasn’t woken up yet.

Bei Ran went, and to her surprise, Gu Qingchen also came to accompany her.

He was dressed in a rare formal suit, a white shirt, a blue and white striped tie, a black suit, crisply-pressed trousers, and shiny leather shoes.

When Bei Ran saw Gu Qingchen, she was taken aback.

If one didn’t know better, they might think he was a business elite, a typical CEO.

However, he hadn’t returned to Gu Group; instead, he had been working in the hospital all along.

It was within expectations that Bei Ran would come, for Gu Qingchen.

After all, both Zong Zheng and his mother-in-law had been kind to her, and they even took care of both Dafish and Xiaofish. For someone as dutiful as Bei Ran, she felt obliged to repay such kindness.

He reached out, took her small hand, and they entered together.

Today’s defense attorney for Gao Yang was Duan Feixun. When Duan Feixun appeared, Bei Ran’s palm tightened slightly.

Gu Qingchen became visibly angry; had it not been in the courtroom, this normally calm and collected person might have rushed up and hit someone!

"Order! All rise!"

At this moment, the judge entered.

Once the judge took his seat, "Defense attorney, you may begin!"

As Gao Yang’s attorney, Duan Feixun bowed to the judge and then turned to Gao Yang: "Gao Yang, around 4 p.m. on July 31st, were you completely sober when you drove a Lamborghini onto the sidewalk?"

Gao Yang: "Yes!"

Duan Feixun: "You knew it was very dangerous to do so, why did you still drive onto the sidewalk? Near the station platform, did you realize this could cause numerous casualties?"

Gao Yang: "Yes! I know... but my car lost control, and I couldn’t stop it, I just went onto the sidewalk..."

Duan Feixun: "Gao Yang, you need to tell the truth. Were you sober when driving? Did you drink alcohol? Were you driving under the influence?"

Gao Yang: "Every word is true, I was very sober, I didn’t drink alcohol, and I definitely wasn’t driving under the influence."

Duan Feixun nodded and then looked at the judge: "Your Honor, I have finished my questions!"

The judge looked at the prosecutor: "Prosecutor, you may begin!"

The prosecutor today was Yu Ke, who once had feelings for Duan Feixun but now no longer works at his law firm.

Yu Ke bowed to the judge and the jury, then turned to Gao Yang: "Gao Yang, at 4 p.m. on July 31st, you were driving fully sober, but because the road was slippery and your car had brake failure, that’s why you lost control, right?"

Gao Yang: "Yes!"

At that moment, Yu Ke lifted her lips and looked at him, raising her voice: "Gao Yang, you lied with your first answer! At 4 p.m. on July 31st, City A was experiencing clear skies, there was no rain at all, this proves that you were not sober while driving, and you drove the Lamborghini onto the sidewalk, causing casualties including eight people, among them, Zong Zheng."

"I object!" Duan Feixun immediately said, "The weather mentioned by the prosecutor is irrelevant to this case."

"Of course, it’s relevant!" Yu Ke explained, "Your Honor, whether the road is wet or not is closely related to losing control of the vehicle."

Judge: "The prosecutor may continue with the questions!"

Duan Feixun looked at Yu Ke, how dare this greenhorn challenge a seasoned attorney like him?

Gao Yang quickly said, "It’s been too long, I don’t remember if it was sunny or rainy that day..."
