Chapter 807: 779 court trial
"..."
Qin Huan looked at Huo Jinnan, although he had reverted to his own face, but he was still so narcissistic!
Previously, she never realized Huo Jinnan was Fu Chengyang, despite the stark resemblance!
Huo Jinnan rolled up his sleeves and glanced at his wristwatch, "I’m going to the study."
"Okay." Qin Huan nodded lightly, aware that today was Gu Jizhou’s public trial; the matter had caused quite a stir earlier, and she wondered what the outcome would be.
In fact, the result was easy to guess; it was unlikely that the Huo Family patriarch wanted to change anything.
But now, the Huo Family patriarch could not possibly ignore it.
Sitting there, looking out the window, it was very possible that the patriarch would find a scapegoat after the sentencing, right?
That’s what she thought.
Thinking of Gu Jizhou, thinking of his trial, it always felt like he was a stranger; irrelevant to her. Once, what he did mattered to her, but no longer.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
Seeing it was Gu Yunping, Qin Huan didn’t pick up and hung up directly.
Soon after, Gu Yunping sent a text message.
"Huanhuan, no matter what, you were husband and wife for five years; everything he did was out of love for you, albeit in the wrong way. Huanhuan, now that you are divorced and happy, and he has lost everything, could you talk to Huo Jinnan and let Jizhou off?"
Qin Huan looked at the message and immediately deleted it without replying.
Actually, today’s trial had nothing to do with her.
There was no way she would reply to Gu Yunping; she wasn’t that foolish.
A reply could very likely become evidence for others to bite back at her.
Although weak, she must still try to protect her lover and her child.
Moreover, this message might not even be from Gu Yunping; it could be from the Huo Family patriarch. Forgive her for thinking of people in such a sinister way, but history serves as a guide.

Study
Huo Jinnan watched the live broadcast online, his eyes fixed on the judge at the moment of pronouncement.
Hearing "death penalty with a two-year reprieve," there was no surprise. He glanced at Qin Shaojin’s direction in the live broadcast.
The camera favored this young star of the legal profession too much, even highlighting the action of him rolling up his sleeves.
A look, a gesture, such a commanding presence that not even a thousand miles could block it!
Only in the courtroom did Qin Xiaosan bear such an aura.
Huo Jinnan sat there, lit a cigarette, took a puff, then walked onto the study’s balcony, looking at the car still parked at the door.
Inside the car, the patriarch glanced at the time, "Uncle Guan, what’s the result?"
Uncle Guan made a call, looked at the patriarch, "Death penalty with a two-year reprieve."
The patriarch was silent; no matter how much he prepared, it was all about the car accident and kidnapping. From Qin Shaojin’s phone, he got a bit more of other matters, and despite getting rid of them, he didn’t expect—the final verdict to be death penalty with a two-year reprieve.
Uncle Guan fell silent too; the judge had said the prosecution had nothing to do with the car accident or kidnapping, but with incontrovertible evidence of financial and criminal offenses.
These words, at this moment, the patriarch probably didn’t want to hear.
In the patriarch’s eyes, the young master had always been a willful child, one that cried and made a fuss to get his own way.
The patriarch glanced towards the second floor, picked up his phone, knowing Anan might not answer but still dialed his number.
Huo Jinnan saw it, immediately hung up, put out the cigarette in his hand, and went back to the bedroom.

Qin Shaojin, in his formal attire, left the court with an air of noble chilliness.
Reporters followed and took photos; he put on sunglasses, got into the car, and drove away directly.
Soon, social media exploded, and the trending topics were dominated by "#TheUntouchableFlowerOfTheLegalProfession#" and "#IHaveANewHusband#."
