Soon it was Yin Fu's turn to speak. He stood up from his chair and took a moment to collect himself. Even though the court proceedings were being live broadcast, he was not ruffled. He walked over to the podium, which belonged to the defendant's lawyer, and then said to the rest of the court, "First of all, I am really sorry for the delay... I know that many of you were waiting for me; after all, I did read a few comments that were calling me unscrupulous."
His words caused the netizens who were watching the live broadcast to be tickled.
[Hahaha, this new lawyer is really funny.]
[Funny? I think he is shameless.]
[No, no–being shameless is also a skill. If I were in his shoes and it was I who was being scolded so fiercely like this, I would have run with my tail tucked between my legs.]
[This mer is really quirky. I have a feeling that this boring case is about to get really fun]
Even Professor Cao couldn't help but laugh at Yin Fu's words. Yin Fu broke the nervousness that Lin Manni was feeling; she heaved a sigh of relief. If she lost this case today, then her cheating husbands would get their hands on her properties.
And her? She would be dragged through the mud!
Lin Manni couldn't believe that these mers were treating her like this, when they had nothing it was her who helped them. And now that they had gotten what they wanted, they were treating her like this.
They actually had an affair behind her back.
This was simply too much.
And the most unbelievable thing was that the adulterer was none other than her own husband!
The more she thought about it, the more Lin Manni felt like her heart was being stabbed by knives and was now riddled with holes.
"It seems like my dear friend doesn't understand the concept of time and place," the lawyer hired by the mer husbands of Lin Manni remarked with a sneer.
Yin Fu raised a brow as he calmly replied to the woman, "I was just trying to ease the tension in the courtroom. We are here to provide the accuser and the accused justice. Not suffocate them with tension and frustration. Take it as if I was trying to calm down my client."
As he finished speaking, he turned to look at the young mer who had filed the complaint against Lin Manni. He then turned to look at the judge before saying to her, "My lord, I would like to ask a few questions from Master Yan."
"Permission granted," the woman replied with a nod.
Yin Fu smiled at her before turning to look at the mer and saying to him, "If you don't mind, Mister Yan. Can you come forward?"
Yan Zheng pursed his lips. He turned to look at the mer who had hired him with a worried expression. Didn't this mer say that Lin Manni no longer had a lawyer? So who was this?
Yan Zheng was not the only one stunned. Master Tang was just as stunned; he was sure that he had bribed and arranged everything according to his plan. Who was this mer? And why was he ruining his plans?
The mer panicked, but then a second later, he calmed down. No matter who Yin Fu was, there was no way he would be able to save Lin Manni, as he had long taken care of the evidence.
This mer as just fighting a losing battle.
