"Nice clothes." Lu Qingyuan was also wearing a suit. As an angel, he watched with a smile as the devil committed the crime in front of him, without stepping forward to stop him.
Yu Tang straightened his tie and smiled at him, "You too."
He walked up to Lu Qingyuan, patted the curves of the man's waist, and whistled, "You have a great body."
Lu Qingyuan grabbed his hand, pinned him against the wall, his eyes red and his voice hoarse: "You've provoked me again? Aren't you afraid of breaking your back?"
"Don't worry, after all, demons are exceptionally gifted." Yu Tang has now come to understand just how good a demon's physique is.
To be honest, he never reached his limit.
Lu Qingyuan tilted his head and kissed him, then whispered through gritted teeth in his ear, "After this case is over, I'll let you experience that talent is meant to be destroyed."
Yu Tang, who had been quite confident, suddenly became a little timid after hearing his tone.
Suppressing his anxiety, he pushed Lu Qingyuan away: "Let's go, let's get down to business."
When Yu Tang mentioned earlier that "something's up for grabs," he meant that Lu Qingyuan would be Li Cuilan's lawyer.
Yu Tang replaced Zhang Hai's defense lawyer and appeared in court with the opposing side.
They conspired to get Zhang Hai sentenced to death.
The court hearing began, and the defendant, Zhang Hai, stood in the center in handcuffs, his face ashen. Only when he saw Yu Tang step in did his expression soften slightly, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.
Zhao Xiaohong sat in the plaintiff's seat, looking haggard with red eyes. She held Li Cuilan's son's hand tightly and glared at Zhang Hai, wishing she could tear him to pieces.
Li Cuilan's son also glared angrily at Zhang Hai.
The thought that the man's tenderness towards him and his mother was all an act, and that Zhang Hai's true heart was so vicious, made him feel nauseous and want to vomit.
I even want to stab this damned man to death right now!
Lu Qingyuan and Yu Tang took their seats.
The two faced each other.
The presiding judge had a stern expression, and the atmosphere in the room was heavy.
He picked up the gavel and struck it with a measured touch, speaking in a calm voice.
"Court is now in session."
Chapter 8
The villain is resurrected for the fifth time (08)
Two hours later, the jury members began to leave the courthouse.
Supported by Li Cuilan's son, Zhao Xiaohong kept saying to Lu Qingyuan, "Thank you, Attorney Lu, thank you for giving Xiaolan justice!"
Yu Tang stood next to Lu Qingyuan, and Zhao Xiaohong held Yu Tang's hand and said, "Attorney Zhang, thank you for not defending that damned thing."
"If it weren't for you, Zhang Hai might have gotten away with it again, delaying his execution!"
"You're welcome, it's what we should do."
Yu Tang patted the old lady's hand and said, "You should go back and rest too."
Zhao Xiaohong nodded, and Li Cuilan's son also bowed to Yu Tang and Lu Qingyuan, saying, "Thank you, brothers."
At this moment, some people who had just listened to the entire court hearing cast strange glances at Yu Tang.
Some of them were law students, and some were young lawyers.
Having learned about this case and heard that someone was actually defending Zhang Hai, this heartless and insane man, I came here to see who was disgracing them like this.
The outcome in court was a complete reversal of the original verdict.
They vividly remember that after Lu Qingyuan finished recounting all of Zhang Hai's crimes, the presiding judge said to Yu Tang, "Next, the defendant's defense lawyer will present his defense."
Then, the man stood up, tore up all the prepared defense materials, and shrugged.
"Your Honor, I refuse to defend the defendant, Zhang Hai."
"He is suspected of premarital fraud. After marriage, he not only had extramarital affairs, but also plotted to murder his wife, Li Cuilan, in an attempt to defraud the insurance company. His malicious intentions are well known. According to the law, he has violated the Marriage Law, the Criminal Law, and the Insurance Law. He should be sentenced to death for multiple crimes!"
His words stunned everyone.
Their original intention was to mock and ridicule the lawyer. Now, however, they are completely impressed by his actions.
Although they knew that Yu Tang's actions would inevitably come at a price if a contract was signed, that didn't stop them from thoroughly enjoying themselves!
This is absolutely gratifying!
Because no one will sympathize with a criminal like Zhang Hai!
Thinking this, the young lawyers, both men and women, came over and surrounded Yu Tang, asking for his contact information.
Yu Tang generously shared Zhang Xianghe's WeChat with him. Only when Lu Qingyuan couldn't stand everyone's attentiveness to Yu Tang anymore and pulled him away did he put away his phone and smile slightly.
"After this experience, Zhang Xianghe should have some self-awareness as a lawyer."
In the afternoon, Zhang Xianghe woke up in his car, thinking he had suddenly fallen asleep and was in a hurry to finish his defense.
I looked down and found my phone was ringing incessantly. When I opened it, I found it was full of WeChat messages.
His actions were even posted on news websites. He stared blankly for a long time, unable to react, as he watched his video go viral.
Did he say that?
How come he has no memory of it at all?
Moreover, for him, as the defendant's defense lawyer, to say such things is practically a death sentence for his legal career!
But when he opened his WeChat messages, he found that his friends, who had previously distanced themselves from him because of his greed and lack of morality, were now all trying to reach out to him.
There were also some lawyers who added him at some unknown time, who said to him: "Senior, you look really handsome today." It's practically a standard feature of a wish-fulfillment novel!
We all admire you!
Zhang Xianghe slumped in the driver's seat, looking at the words, and a wave of bittersweet emotions welled up in his heart.
He hadn't heard anyone speak to him like that in a long time.
Once upon a time, he chose law with the determination to defend the victims, worked hard to pass the exams, and strived to become a lawyer.
Over the years, however, society and reality have worn down his edges and tempted him to bow to money.
Now, surprisingly, this muddled lawsuit has rekindled his old ambitions.
Zhang Xianghai's heart pounded rapidly, his grip on his phone tightened, and his eyes even reddened.
He replied to the lawyers who agreed with his approach: "Not defending the real murderer is my principle as a lawyer."
Lu Qingyuan put away the angel-specific water mirror he used to observe Zhang Xianghai's actions and asked Yu Tang beside him, "So, you're just doing all the work for someone else?"
"At least I got my kicks, didn't I?" Yu Tang said happily. "Sure enough, this kind of twist is the best. I want to do this again in the future and try not to let any criminals get away with it!"
“You’ve had your fun.” Lu Qingyuan grabbed Yu Tang’s tie, pulled the man into his arms, and said, “I’m still a little short.”
Yu Tang was stunned for a moment.
Lu Qingyuan continued, "Do you remember what I told you before the trial? Talent is meant to be destroyed..."
"Like the ethereal nature of angels, everything crumbled when I met you. Now, all I want is..."
The remaining two words were swallowed by Yu Tang's ears, causing the man's face to flush red.
The next moment, he was lifted up by an archangel with holy white wings and flown into the air.
Not long after, he reappeared in the hotel room.
The closed doors and windows concealed all the scenes that would make your face flush and your heart race.
After Zhang Hai was sentenced, Li Cuilan's ghost completely dissipated all its resentment.
She quietly stayed with Zhao Xiaohong and her son for a while longer before reluctantly leaving to be reborn and embrace a new life.
Zhao Xiaohong seemed to have aged several years during this time, losing her former energetic appearance.
He could only manage a weak smile when facing Li Cuilan's son.
However, the deceased are gone, and all the living can do is try to live on and face life with optimism.
This is what the deceased who mourned them would want to see.
Yu Tang was able to get out of bed after half a month, and he kept cursing and swearing, not letting Lu Qingyuan get close to him again.
To say that angels are devoid of desire is utter nonsense!
It's completely useless against Lu Qingyuan!
I don't know what the significance is of the God of Light giving him this angelic identity!
"Don't be angry anymore." Lu Qingyuan tugged at Yu Tang's sleeve and said sweetly, "Brother Tangtang..."
Yu Tang shoved him: "Get out of here, don't stay near me."
"I know I was wrong. I promise I'll never let you do those difficult positions again. Please forgive me..."
Lu Qingyuan was only halfway through his sentence when Yu Tang, her face flushed, firmly covered his mouth: "Don't say whatever comes to mind! Don't you know any shame!"
Lu Qingyuan grabbed his hand and kissed it, laughing as he said, "Anyway, no human can see us, so what's wrong with that?"
“Nobody can see it, but ghosts can!” Yu Tang shook him off and turned to look at the ghost of the boy in school uniform standing in front of them.
The ghost was pierced through the waist by a sharp weapon, and blood stained most of his school uniform. He also had other wounds on his body.
But one could still vaguely make out his handsome features. He looked at Yu Tang, then at Lu Qingyuan, and after a long while, he spoke.
"Can you do me a favor? I'm willing to give my soul."
Lu Qingyuan was clearly annoyed that their time together had been interrupted.
But with Yu Tang around, he asked patiently, "What kind of help is it?"
The boy pursed his lips, as if gathering a great deal of courage, and said, "I have someone I like..."

The boy's name is Yang Qingzhou, and to be precise, he is not dead yet.
