439 - I Don’t Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System

Chapter 439: Three Years? Six Years? At the People's Court of Suzhou City, if Su Qi were to attend a trial today, she would realize it's the same court that tried Yang Ming back then. However, circumstances have changed. Now, instead of Yang Ming and Yang Da Ming, it is Yang Zong Fan standing trial. The lawyers on both sides remain unchanged. On one side is the debating genius Zhang Wei, while on the other is Lin Zi. As Yang Zong Fan's uncle, Yang Ri Tian, appeared in the plaintiff's seat, whereas Wang Yun sat in the defendant's seat. Though the seating arrangement suggested otherwise, essentially both sides were simultaneously plaintiffs and defendants. One party accused "intentional injury," while the counterclaim was "attempted assault." Due to Lin Zi lawyer's prior successful case, this time the debating genius Zhang Wei prepared thoroughly. Lin Zi, however, remained calm. After all, the recordings had been submitted and played in court. The stage was now set for a face-off based on each lawyer’s fundamental skills. Zhang Wei, renowned as a brilliant debater in Su City, started with particularly challenging arguments. While a less experienced lawyer might have struggled, Lin Zi stayed composed, maintaining her own pace in the discourse. Since the trial began at ten in the morning, both sides, apart from presenting evidence, engaged in relentless debate. Around noon, before the court recessed, Lin Zi proposed 250,000 as compensation for Su Qi's mental distress and a three-year sentence for Yang Zong Fan for "attempted harassment." Naturally, Zhang Wei and Wu Liang disagreed, arguing that the monetary fine was minor but the offense should not lead to Yang Zong Fan going to jail and having a criminal record. Yet, during the lunch recess, judges, while browsing the internet, unexpectedly discovered Su Qi’s status as the famed "prophet" and renowned "stock market goddess.” Though Lin Zi's evidence included internal meeting room footage, Zhang Wei repeatedly emphasized that his client Yang Zong Fan, as a considerate director, never pursued arguments. Despite their resigned acceptance of such unreasonable arguments, the judges had to concede to logic. But seeing Su Qi’s numerous brilliant predictions, Zhang Wei's argument lost its standing. When the trial resumed at two in the afternoon, the atmosphere in court began to shift dramatically. Proud Zhang Wei, behind his gold-framed glasses, couldn't let himself falter before another lawyer. He exerted all his efforts, his fervent rhetoric so intense that his glasses slipped repeatedly onto the table. However, his heightened emotions caused his logic to unravel, culminating in unfortunate blurts. With the presiding judge’s authoritative voice snapping him back to reason, Zhang Wei found himself regaining composure just as the judge and other officials concluded their discussions. The resounding strike of the gavel relayed the final verdict: Yang Zong Fan was sentenced to three years for "attempted crime" with particularly adverse circumstances. Before Zhang Wei could respond, the judge added, “Zhang Wei, as a lawyer yourself, you knowingly broke the law and disregarded the court, resulting in a seven-day detention for corrective education.” Hearing this, Zhang Wei felt his mind whirl, only to be greeted by a pair of cold handcuffs. The spectators in the gallery were astounded, witnessing for the first time a defending lawyer getting incarcerated! Everyone now recognized Lin Zi's skill and fortitude. A blogger eagerly recorded the scene, savoring the imminent scandal. After all, the victim was none other than the stock goddess, and her lawyer had even managed to get the opposing lawyer arrested. What a significant event! Yang Zong Fan stood in the plaintiff's chair, stupefied, repeatedly murmuring to himself, "Three years?" He was astonished to see his uncle Yang Hao, who had claimed hiring Zhang Wei was a six-figure decision. To think, this outcome… Three years? Gazing incredulously at the renowned "lying dragon" lawyer Zhang Wei, Yang Hao sought answers, only to see Zhang Wei already handcuffed and escorted into a vehicle. At this moment, a prison guard handed Yang Zong Fan a "gift" as they prepared for transfer. Watching Yang Zong Fan mutter "three years," the guard remarked: "Consider yourself lucky! The last person with an attempted assault charge got six years! Let's go; I've arranged for you both to share a cell." Saying this, he nudged Yang Zong Fan toward the awaiting official vehicle. Wang Yun felt an unusual joy watching the wicked face punishment. Seeing the shocked and beaten Yang Hao, she was inexplicably pleased. Although she didn’t receive the 250,000 compensation, three years weren't bad. After the courtroom drama, Wang Yun glanced at the time, noting it was nearing three o'clock, and dashed out of the court. Her haste stemmed from intel gathered from Xiao Xiao a few days ago. Today, the sisters had planned a meaningful lesson for their adorable husband. Recalling how excited Xiao Xiao seemed when she spoke, Wang Yun suspected the lesson might be unconventional. Worried that the sisters would have overwhelmed Su Qi by the time of her arrival, Wang Yun hurried off. Watching Wang Yun’s eagerness, as she bolted full of energy, Lin Zi couldn’t help but smile at her energetic exit, feeling a mix of abandonment yet not holding any grudge. As her former roommate, Lin Zi understood Wang Yun well enough to assume something very significant awaited her. Finishing her paperwork, Lin Zi was approached by a reporter for an interview just as she exited the court. In the legal field, reputation is valuable; it can attract clients and income. Lin Zi responded gracefully when the reporter's first question caught her off guard: "How did it feel to get the opposing lawyer thrown out of court?" Driving her little red car, Wang Yun arrived at the Green City residential area at 3:30 PM. Based on previous parking spots, she knew exactly where her sisters and her beloved husband were. Inside their heavenly abode, the apartment was fragrantly scented. Su Qi, adorned in an alluring red ensemble, had shed down to a red-sleeved top, achieving the ethereal beauty of a bewitching consort. Though it was called "big-sleeved," it barely covered Su Qi's snow-white back. Su Qi's entire body trembled slightly, and beneath her red sleeve, numerous adorable 12-stroke bunny heads were documented. An Ning caressed her husband’s flawless, smooth back and playfully inquired: "Honey, why are you sweating so much today? You must be enjoying it too much!" Listening to An Ning, Su Qi felt like crying but had no tears. Just recently, she hit a milestone, achieving 10% in stats and awakened a unique quirk: profuse sweating. Checking the description, Su Qi learned: When excited, she would secrete fragrant sweat, which would excite others who smelled it and provide a lubricating effect during contact, enhancing tactile sensations. But since embracing this peculiar trait, Su Qi finally realized what a "vicious cycle" meant; her three wives evidently grew more enthused! Yet, observing her wives’ attempts at satisfaction, Su Qi sighed in relief, ready to snuggle against An Ning and drift into a blissful nap. Only to be interrupted by the doorbell and her wife Wang Yun’s voice! "An Ning, Zijin, Xiao Xiao, honey—open the door, I’m back!" Su Qi involuntarily shivered, thinking—is there more? Wang Zijin, contemplating whether to open the door for her sister, hesitated. Despite her lingering annoyance at her sister’s earlier “ indulgence,” seeing her husband’s apprehensive shiver made her relent and allow Wang Yun into the room. Ultimately, she intended to partake fully in her husband's "charm debts."
