Friend?

Where did this friend come from?

Wang Yao furrowed his brows, a suspicious look appeared on his face, understanding his child well.

Though he didn’t want to admit it, when facing Wang Chao, he couldn’t deny one thing, that is, this kid is... foolish!

’Foolish’ people have a hard time making friends, let alone being a two-meter tall, over two hundred pounds ’fool’!

So..... who is this man in front of him?

Wang Yao, with furrowed brows, cast his suspicious eyes onto the man in front of him.

The person beside him hesitated.

Looking at Liu Jinshui, Zhao Yi’s face showed deep confusion.

Looking at Liu Jinshui, Zhao Yi suddenly froze as if recalling something.

Looking at Liu Jinshui, Zhao Yi’s eyes slightly widened, revealing a hint of astonishment.

Until...

"No...That’s not right!"

Zhao Yi fixed his gaze on the opponent’s briefcase, as if it contained a time bomb, his heart pounding like thunder.

The faint and slight odor of decay in the air pulled his thoughts back to the past.

His sixth sense was frantically warning him!

No.. don’t.

Please don’t!

...

"Brother Tao, why do I feel like we came to Upper City for nothing, waited all this time, acted cautiously, and still didn’t get any juicy interviews."

"At most, there’s a medical guarantee, although it’s big news... it’s not an exclusive report, and it hasn’t been finalized yet."

In the Supreme Court, on the first-floor lobby.

On the public bench, Li Ye wiped his camera and spoke idly.

"Might as well stick with Lawyer Xu."

"Speaking of which, what’s Lawyer Xu up to now? I haven’t heard any news about him for half a month?"

Hearing this, Zhang Tao beside him also nodded noncommittally.

At first, the officials said they would give an answer to the case, and he was quite excited about this, but upon reaching the Supreme Court, Zhao Yi was too evasive and avoided all the issues, only reporting on some insignificant cases.

"Don’t worry blindly, we’re not from the law firm, as for the reporting side..."

"Even without traffic, Wang Hao took a fall, better not seeing or thinking about him in the future."

Zhang Tao said with a smile.

In Qingshi City, Wang Hao was jealous because he could always break big news, yet couldn’t target him, so he secretly attacked Xu Liang through reports.

To say the least, it did help Wang Hao gain some traffic and taste the sweetness!

Plus, with Superstar Pharmaceutical Group’s initial good reputation, the opponent’s smear was quite effective, but unfortunately...

At the Supreme Court, Xu Liang pulled out a major weapon on Han Chengguang.

Just the aftermath left Wang Hao’s face ashen on the spot, and upon returning to the company, he found himself inundated with curses under his past reports, and some even reported him, wanting to investigate any connections between him and Han Chengguang.

As a result, the company’s reputation was also implicated, and the editor-in-chief was so furious that even though Wang Hao’s uncle was the manager, he was directly fired!

Just...

"Indeed, lacking in scoops."

Zhang Tao sighed.

If he could report another scoop, he could totally be promoted to supervisor!

In a year and a half since joining, rising from an intern to a supervisor! Just thinking about it was exhilarating, and rising to the editor-in-chief’s position in due time wasn’t impossible!

"Wait, isn’t that Judge Zhao!?"

Just as the two were feeling dejected, a familiar figure suddenly appeared before them.

Zhang Tao froze, his gaze cut through layers of crowds, finally settling on a man with a slightly odd expression.

And it was none other than Zhao Yi!

"Should we do an exclusive interview with Judge Zhao!?"

Li Ye suddenly suggested.

They didn’t dare talk to Wang Yao, but Zhao Yi was approachable!

After all, when Zhao Yi was the black slave at the Middle Court, carrying the carrier for the dean, they started reporting, so they were pretty familiar, doing an exclusive interview wouldn’t be a problem!

If they managed to unearth any information to reveal, compared to other reporters... wouldn’t they be effortlessly superior!?

"Let’s go, ask him!"

Zhang Tao was tempted, stood up, holding his microphone and prepared to advance.

Unfortunately...

Just as he stood and took two steps forward, a man carrying a briefcase suddenly stepped up, just in time to block between Zhang Tao and Zhao Yi.

Zhang Tao paused, was about to go around, but noticed that the man’s face was full of confusion.

Indeed, the man squatted there, as if it was his first time here, a haggard face, eyes hinting at bewilderment, as if unsure of what to do.

Zhang Tao paused briefly, kindness rising in his heart, and took two steps forward to lean closer to him, softly saying:

"Brother, are you here at the Supreme Court for something?"

A gentle voice whispered by the ear.

Liu Jinshui’s eyes filled with bloodshot, his breath rapid, his whole body’s blood surging quickly.

His eyeballs moved, immediately fixing on Zhang Tao beside him, his throat rolled:

"Who are you?"

With bloodshot and scarlet eyes, it startled Zhang Tao.

His current appearance...

Very much like a gambler!

A gambler who bet everything, shoved all chips in, eyes fixed on the table, nerves tightly wound like strings!

Or rather, a lunatic... just one step away from truly going insane, with extremely extreme thinking!

’Where did this guy come from?’

Zhang Tao wondered to himself but still asked:

"I’m a reporter, may I assist you?"

"Are you here to file a case?"

Liu Jinshui’s breathing was rapid, his eyes even more scarlet, clutching the briefcase tightly, he fell silent, then nodded slightly.

"Filing a case is simple; right opposite you is the reception hall, just state your claims and basic case information, staff will provide detailed guidance."

"Although this is the Supreme Court, and filing is possible, the subsequent process will likely be directed to the local courts."

Zhang Tao glanced at the opponent’s disappeared left hand and then quietly withdrew his gaze and said nothing.

Liu Jinshui paused for a moment, then gave a slight ’hmm’, lifted his leg quietly, and walked over to the staff.

Watching his back, Zhang Tao muttered to himself twice.

Then he gathered his thoughts, quickened his pace, and walked towards Zhao Yi.

But just as he reached Zhao Yi’s side, he discovered...

The other party’s gaze was fixed, breathing rapid, chest heaving violently, clearly staring at Liu Jinshui.

Seeing this made Zhang Tao somewhat confused, so he tried to wake the other party, saying:

"Judge Zhao? Judge Zhao?"

The voice fell, but unfortunately Zhao Yi still didn’t come to his senses, he just stared obsessively at Liu Jinshui, until...

"No...don’t...."

Suddenly, Zhao Yi’s expression crumbled a bit, as if he had seen something terrifying that confirmed something in his mind.

Only seeing Liu Jinshui standing in front of the reception hall.

Two beautiful women in front were guiding the other party to produce the evidence.

And Liu Jinshui... placed the handbag on the counter, pressed with his left arm, while his right hand pinched the zipper.

"Don’t!"

Zhao Yi’s expression was fearful, feeling as if he had traveled back to a year ago.

He wanted to step forward, but his legs felt rooted to the spot, entirely numb!

Zhao Yi roared internally.

"Stop, quickly stop!!!"

Unfortunately...

"Swish~!"

The zipper of the handbag was pulled open, and a putrid stench spread from him and slowly wafted around.

The two girls at the counter slightly furrowed their brows momentarily but still, with good professionalism, said:

"Mr. Liu, please hand over the evidence, we’ll guide you on how to file a case."

Liu Jinshui looked at the unzipped handbag, he was silent for a moment.

In the next second, he put his hand on the handbag.

Upon seeing this scene, the other people who came to file a case, including the girl in front, were curious and leaned in closer.

They all sensed the stench, but didn’t understand...

Why would filing evidence emit such a smell?

Just as they were puzzled...

Liu Jinshui suddenly completely opened the handbag.

"Clap!"

The bag opened.

In an instant, a sky-covering stench engulfed the people around, like a primal fear hitting directly at human genes!

"Ugh~!"

Some couldn’t help but dry heave reflexively.

And the others, seeing the contents of the bag... instantly turned corpse-white, their faces scared beyond measure!

Only to see, inside the handbag was....

A rotting severed hand and a... human head.

This was a person’s head!!!

The head’s expression was extremely grim, as if a vengeful ghost unwilling to rest in peace, no lower body, the neck forcibly cut off then stuffed into the handbag!

Moreover, the entire head was already starting to decay, the surface had a hole, clearly showing the muscle tissues beneath the skin!!!

"Boom~!!!"

In a flash.

Like a nuclear bomb exploding in the mind, booming the surrounding people’s brains to a complete blank, frozen in place as though time had momentarily stopped.

"Clap!"

Liu Jinshui’s hand shook, just about to take the things out, but unfortunately it hit the box, causing the handbag and the head within to fall out.

"Rumble rumble~"

The head rolled on the ground at that moment.

The entire hall fell silent.

Liu Jinshui’s eyes reddened, he stared wide-eyed fiercely, with his only remaining hand grabbed the head’s hair and placed it in front of the two staff members.

He said:

"How to file a case!?"

Upon hearing the commotion.

The two girls snapped back to reality, staring at Liu Jinshui blankly in front of them, then....

"Ah!!!!!!"

"Ahhhhh!!"

A series of piercing screams seemingly shattering everyone’s eardrums echoed through the entire courthouse.

And with the sound’s appearance... everyone on the scene snapped back to reality, their eyes filled with shock looking at Liu Jinshui.

"I want to file a case, I must file a case!"

Liu Jinshui pressed, urgently shouting loudly.

But the two girls in front were visibly frightened, quickly retreating.

"I want to file a case, I must file a case!!!"

Liu Jinshui’s eyes instantly reddened, he held the head up high and screamed hoarsely.

Upon seeing this.

The surrounding people also reacted, their faces full of horror and shock, retreating in all directions, while some who reacted kept photographing with cameras!

This is...

A second case of suing with a corpse?

No.

It’s bringing in a head!!!

Looking at this scene in front.

Zhao Yi, outside the crowd, his expression becoming increasingly sinister.

"What...what a joke!!!"
