Chapter 294
Chapter 294
Apart from Jin Xinran and a few others, everyone else also reported to their respective workplaces on the same day.
Of course, all of them were warmly welcomed.
After all, Anwar is now synonymous with all things good.
This is true within the military region.
In private places, the same applies.
In fact, the mere presence of someone like Anwar at high-end events is enough to demonstrate their capabilities.
Therefore, the chefs and makeup artists who were taken away by private individuals began planning lavish banquets the day after they got their own personal staff.
Just as these employees were all working enthusiastically under the command of their boss, the long-delayed final trial of the Qiu Quan case finally began.
Early in the morning, Hui Hongshen and his two companions, along with their bodyguards, rushed to the court.
They bumped into Nandan right outside the courthouse.
Seeing Nandan arrive from behind with a large group of bodyguards, everyone became extremely vigilant.
After all, the relationship between the two sides is now extremely hostile.
Nandan had even been sending assassins to kill Hui Hongshen repeatedly.
Seeing the wary expressions on Hui Hongshen and the other two's faces, Nan Dan simply chuckled.
"This is in front of the courthouse. I'm not going to do anything to you, so why are you so nervous?"
This is the first time since the trial began that Nandan has had a direct, face-to-face conversation with Hui Hongshen.
"All along, I've only ever wanted to ask one question."
Hui Hongshen was still staring at Nandan:
"Don't you regret the bad things you've done?"
Upon hearing Hui Hongshen's question, Nandan felt as if she had heard the most ridiculous thing.
"Regret? How could that word possibly exist in my dictionary, Nandan?"
She glanced at Hongshen with a hint of pity:
“I need to climb up, and he is just a handy tool, nothing more.”
"You who are meant to be tools, why do you have so many ideas when you don't even fulfill your duties as tools?"
Nan Dan scoffed:
"You're still thinking of betraying me. Don't you know that without my support, you're nothing?"
"We are human beings! Living, breathing human beings! Not mere tools!"
Hui Hongshen's words angered Nandan, and Liming and Sang Wenjun quickly pulled him back, though anger still lingered in their eyes.
"A cold-blooded bastard like you will get your comeuppance sooner or later! After doing so many bad things, don't you have trouble sleeping at night?"
This should have been a trivial retort from Nandan, but Nandan remained unusually silent in response.
Then, as if she didn't care to answer the question, she waved her hand and walked forward, leaving the three of them behind.
Sang Wenjun was standing the furthest away, so he could vaguely see Nandan's lip movements:
"They've already gotten their comeuppance."
Is it an illusion?
Sang Wenjun was stunned for a moment.
He wanted to see it more clearly.
Nandan had already gone far away.
He turned to look at his two friends.
They seemed oblivious to Nandan's unusual behavior, and were frowning and fuming.
Sang Wenjun thought about it for a while and decided to keep what she had just seen to herself.
I must have read it wrong.
……
"Judging from her unrepentant attitude, it's unlikely there will be any reversal today."
Upon arriving at the plaintiff's seat, Li Ming sighed.
"You have to be mentally prepared."
"I've already prepared it."
Hui Hongshen forced a smile:
"It's alright. Even if there's no progress, I'm already satisfied with the current outcome."
However, there was one thing he didn't say when facing the dawn.
After all, he will continue his investigation in the future.
Dawn was unaware of his thoughts, but on the surface, she seemed relieved.
His biggest fear is that if he returns to Hongshen now, they will definitely argue about this matter thoroughly.
After all, they all understand that the current evidence is simply insufficient.
As they were talking, Hui Hongshen and the other two met Nan Dan's gaze.
This time, Nandan actually smiled at them.
Hui Hongshen and Li Ming immediately became alert.
"What does she want to do?"
"I don't know, could it be a provocation?"
"No matter what, she's going to go in today anyway, so why is she provoking us now?"
"Perhaps they're trying to tell us that we can't catch any of the people behind the scenes that we're trying to arrest today?"
"Or are you implying that the person behind this is already prepared to deal with us? And that we should be careful?"
Hui Hongshen and Li Ming discussed the matter back and forth as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Only Sang Wenjun stood there, stunned.
Perhaps it was because he had never met Nandan before and didn't know what kind of person she was.
But why did he think that Nandan simply wanted to laugh with them and had no other intentions?
Nan Dan smiled inwardly at the various reactions of the boys opposite her, then looked away.
She understood Hui Hongshen and Li Ming's vigilance.
Because that's just who she is.
Although she knew that the powerful figure behind her had killed her multiple times, she wouldn't have ended up in this state if she hadn't returned to Hongshen.
Given her experiences, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to hate Hongshen no matter how much she hates him.
However, it is said that a dying person's words are good.
Nandan felt that she might be experiencing this feeling right now.
Looking at the boys across from her, who were willing to do anything for a belief, Nan Dan felt a little envious.
For so many years, she has had only one principle in life: to climb upwards with all her might, no matter the cost.
That's why she used the celebrities she had connections with for sex-for-power deals, just to make her path to advancement smoother.
They brought this upon themselves, and it is their own doing.
And the fact that he himself brought out those big shots behind him was the consequence of those big shots' actions.
Thinking of this, a hint of ruthlessness appeared in Nan Dan's eyes.
Although my actions have been restricted recently, I have still managed to uncover a lot of things.
At its most basic level, they uncovered a string of spies.
Thinking of this, Nan Dan glanced at the bodyguards around her.
Who would have thought that out of his dozen or so bodyguards, only one of them would eat at his family's restaurant?
Thinking about what her subordinates had found out, Nan Dan felt even colder.
Want to kill her? Don't you even know if you're really that easy to manipulate?
Who knows how much damage even the wrath of an ant could inflict upon them!
When the judge announced the start of the day's hearing, after a lengthy opening statement, when it was the defendant's turn to speak, Nandan, without waiting for his lawyer to speak, directly picked up the microphone in front of him:
"I would like to request bailiff protection."
These words shocked everyone present.
The judge had a gut feeling that something was about to happen. He waved his hand, and a team of bailiffs rushed straight towards Nandan.
While the bodyguards were still hesitating, they were taken away by the bailiffs.
Several bodyguards secretly breathed a sigh of relief as they were being led away.
It's just going to work, who would want to kill someone in court?
They've been taken away; when the higher-ups ask, they'll have something to say.
Only after Nandan was completely alone did the judge signal to her:
"You can continue now."
Nan Dan smiled and said, "Here, I am making a formal accusation that I have engaged in illegal transactions with more than ten tycoons, led by Jin Zicheng."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Hui Hongshen and Li Ming exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with undisguised astonishment.
what happened?
Is there some internal strife between Nandan and the powerful figure behind her?!
