366: Chapter 341 The Accused 366: Chapter 341 The Accused “Since we’ve chosen this path, we must walk it resolutely. When we encounter some stinking bastards, a single kick would do, though we can’t avoid getting our shoes dirty. Don’t worry, I’m here for you. Remember my words, with me by your side, you will always be the goddess,” Liu Hun said gently, pulling Shi Bi’er into his embrace and touching her slender shoulders, already having a plan in mind. The next day, Shi Bi’er, who was resting at home, saw the overwhelming media coverage on television, in newspapers, and in magazines. New Art Newspaper: Shocking Deal! National Goddess Shi Bi’er’s Agent Changes Hands! Entertainment Weekly: Super Agent Liu Hun Sells National Goddess for a Mere 500,000! Entertainment Watch: 500,000?! The Worth of Shi Bi’er?! Artistic Magazine: Cage Band’s Agent Chang Hechun Makes Big Moves with Little Money! Entertainment Gossip: Conspiracy or Truth?! Is the National Goddess Only Worth 500,000?! Having never faced a lawsuit before, Shi Bi’er looked quite at a loss. However, Liu Hun was not the least bit worried, as he already had the perfect candidate in mind. A few days later at the doorway of the Intermediate People’s Court, a large crowd of journalists had gathered early in the morning, all having received hints from Chang Hechun and arrived for what seemed like sensational news. “Yawn... I came early hoping to get a good spot, only to find there’s already a ton of people who arrived earlier. Do you think Liu Hun really sold Shi Bi’er for 500,000?” “When I first got the news, I thought it was ludicrous. The editor even scolded me, accusing me of spreading rumors. But now it’s gone to court—I guess it must be true!” “Shi Bi’er relies too much on Liu Hun, handing over all her life-and-death power to him. What if this is some kind of double act with Chang Hechun? Wouldn’t that doom the goddess?” “You’ve been watching too many dramas. How could there be any double act? Remember, it was Liu Hun who slapped the face of the Star Stone company’s president with 15 million to bail out Shi Bi’er. With him, she’s been on a continuous rise to fame. I’m sure there’s a conspiracy!” “Here they come! Everybody, go!” “...” A swarm of journalists saw an SUV pull up at the court’s entrance. They hastened over with their bulky equipment, quickly blocking the car door, some even dropping their things on the ground without time to pick them up. To them, the news was more important than those items. “Click, click, click...” As soon as the car door opened, the shutters clicked non-stop. Chang Hechun, with a smile on his face, alighted the car with his lawyer Fang Hua. “Mr. Chang, is it true that you signed Shi Bi’er for just 500,000?” Chang Hechun smiled faintly and said, “If it were false, I wouldn’t be appearing here today.” “Mr. Chang, since you’ve signed Shi Bi’er for just 500,000, why do you still need to go to court? Is there some hidden reason?” Chang Hechun stopped and said, “The only hidden reason is that Liu Hun isn’t at all like what you see. He’s a duplicitous scoundrel. That’s why I’m here at the courthouse today, hoping for a fair judgment from the law.” “Mr. Chang, it was you who sued Liu Hun. How confident are you of your victory? Do you have any evidence in hand?” “Ha ha ha... Good question! I am 100% confident about my chances of winning! If I dare to sue, it means I definitely have sufficient evidence! Just wait and see! I will expose this little clown!” Confidently laughing, Chang Hechun, along with his lawyer, walked into the courthouse. Just as Chang Hechun entered the courthouse, Liu Hun’s car also arrived at the entrance. Shiny shoes, a crisp suit, and a neatly pressed shirt, Liu Hun made his appearance as always, exuding rationality and confidence. With both hands fastening the button on his chest, he nodded sincerely to the media and was followed by his lawyer, a woman in a black suit with a noble aura, clearly not just any ordinary lawyer. This lady lawyer was none other than Bai Lingfei! “Click, click, click...” A flurry of dazzling flashes began. “Mr. Liu! Did you really sell Ms. Shi Bi’er to agent Chang Hechun for 500,000?” “I think all the friends present should have an answer in their hearts. If it were you, would you sell?” Liu Hun replied with a counter question. “Mr. Liu! Mr. Chang Hechun confidently stated that you indeed signed Ms. Shi Bi’er over to him and accused you of being double-dealing. Is there a hidden story or other transactions involved?” “There were other transactions involved!” Liu Hun answered. Such an answer clearly touched the media’s excitement, and reporters immediately began asking questions in a flurry. “With Chang Hechun came his character and IQ, but... you know just that much, I can only veto,” said Liu Hun, stretching out his little finger. “Pfft!” As soon as Liu Hun finished speaking, many reporters couldn’t help but burst into laughter, not expecting the usually serious and almost cold Agent Liu to crack a joke. “Thank you, friends from the media, for your attention and concern. One last word, ‘Though one can paint the skin of a tiger, it’s hard to paint its bones; you can see one’s face but not the heart.’ I hope the media friends will take a good look and capture what some people truly are, or... if they are anything at all! Thank you!” After finishing, Liu Hun walked into the courthouse with his head held high and his lawyer by his side. Since this case had caused a huge sensation in society, the spectator seats were already full, and many reporters could only wait outside the courthouse for the first-hand news. Liu Hun walked over and sat down in the defendant’s seat, and opposite him was Chang Hechun, who in front of the public, once again had the demeanor of a benign public figure, showing none of his arrogance from a few days before. Bai Lingfei sat down next to Liu Hun, sliding the prepared documents in front of him and asked, “Mr. Liu, is this it? Familiarity aside, one must consider the price before smashing my reputation.” Liu Hun glanced at Bai Lingfei, knew she was joking, and so replied with a smile, “Right! Just like that! Do your preparations. If your reputation gets smashed here today, I’ll get you a pure gold one studded with diamonds.” Bai Lingfei couldn’t help but smile. She knew Liu Hun was an incredibly strong Superpower User, and perhaps this case wasn’t as simple as that. So she nodded and stayed silent, ready to see how Liu Hun would perform. “Say, Attorney Fang, do you know the woman sitting next to Liu Hun?” Chang Hechun asked his lawyer, Fang Hua. Fang Hua’s face had a very odd expression as he said, “I know her; we’re in the same profession, of course, I do, but...” “But what? Is she really that formidable? Fang, we’re definitely going to win this case, but don’t let him drag it out!” Fang Hua looked at the evidence provided by Chang Hechun and thought the case was almost certainly in the bag, but he was worried that the other side might have a lawyer who knew how to exploit legal loopholes and could keep dragging the case out. Yet, when he saw Bai Lingfei, he was immediately surprised because Bai Lingfei was always one to rise early for profit. These defamation cases were time-consuming and labor-intensive, often not worth the effort. “But... why would Bai Lingfei take this case, and why would Liu Hun hire her? This woman... won’t be my match,” Fang Hua said through clenched teeth, though there was underlying fear of Bai Lingfei. Chang Hechun’s face relaxed, and with a sneering smile, he said, “Liu Hun’s a fool to begin with! If he had any brains, would he have signed such a contract? Today I want to see him kneeling and begging in front of me, crawling and leaking like a beaten dog. It’d be best if all the media captured that.” “Order, order!” the judge rapped his gavel, announcing the formal beginning of the trial, “Today we are publicly hearing the case of the plaintiff, Chang Hechun versus the defendant, Liu Hun, concerning the contract dispute of star Shi Bi’er. The court is now in session! Plaintiff, please state your reasons for the lawsuit.” Fang Hua immediately stood up and spoke, “Our client, Mr. Chang Hechun, signed a contract concerning star Shi Bi’er with the defendant, Liu Hun five days ago. According to the contract, after the plaintiff paid 500,000 in cash, the defendant should transfer the contract of Shi Bi’er to our client, Mr. Chang Hechun. However, the defendant has refused to carry out the contract after the deadline.” “Wow! So it’s true! Shi Bi’er was sold for only 500,000! It seems my seat here is well worth the money, it’s truly explosive.” “Hey, hey, hey! He hasn’t produced any evidence yet! It’s possible that this Chang Hechun is spouting nonsense, trying to fish in troubled waters.” “Liu Hun and his lawyer seem very composed; perhaps they are very confident. Earlier, I heard the media say that Chang Hechun was indeed very certain.” “...” As soon as Fang Hua spoke, the spectator seats below grew noisy, with many people with a gossip mindset starting to discuss. “Order! Please be quiet!” The judge rapped the gavel again as a warning, and after the surroundings quieted down, turned to ask Liu Hun, “Does the defense have anything to say?” As the judge finished asking, everyone in the courtroom eagerly watched Liu Hun and his hired lawyer, all expecting a fierce battle of wits and words. Seeing no response from the two, the judge urged again, “Defense, do you have anything to say?” Bai Lingfei looked at Liu Hun, saw him nod, and then said to the judge, “No.” “No?! He has nothing to say?!” “My heavens! What kind of lawyer is this? Where did Liu Hun find such a disaster? Is this the rhythm of an outright confession in court?” “No way! That’s it? It’s such a letdown! Is Shi Bi’er really worth only 500,000?” “...” Listening to the hubbub from the spectator seats, the judge rapped the gavel again to restore order, and then according to the trial procedure, went through a series of questions. Chang Hechun’s side was eloquent and full of reasons, while all the responses from Bai Lingfei, the lawyer hired by Liu Hun, were the same—No! Faced with such a scene, everyone was stunned, not just the spectators in the benches but also the media reporters outside the courtroom receiving messages from inside. They all had one thought in their minds—Liu Hun confessed, Shi Bi’er was sold cheaply!
