Chapter 110: No Surprise, Won the Lawsuit (2)
"Agree."
With the judge’s permission, the witness was brought out shortly after. Compared to Hei Ziyi’s nonchalance, this witness appeared somewhat nervous, always keeping his head lowered, not daring to look directly at anyone present.
"Relax, just tell us what you saw," Mi Wan, having returned to her seat, spoke loudly enough for everyone to hear as Song Guotao walked up to the witness.
"I..." The witness’s lips trembled nervously. Under Song Guotao’s subtle cue, he managed to calm down after several seconds and said, "On the night of the incident, I was on my way home from the convenience store after buying some beer. I saw the defendant and the plaintiff. The plaintiff was harassing the defendant, saying the price wasn’t expensive, the service was satisfactory, and while talking..."
"Plaintiff’s defense attorney, do you have any objections to the witness’s statement?" the judge asked formally.
"Yes." Mi Wan said, standing up and walking towards the witness, her expression completely indifferent as she brushed past Song Guotao.
"Witness, please tell me honestly, are you being truthful?"
Mi Wan stood firmly in front of the witness, her sharp gaze and imposing presence making the witness feel a bit guilty.
"Of... of course, I’m being truthful. In... in court, how dare I lie? I could go to... to jail for that." The witness, looking to be in his thirties or forties with a square face, stuttered while speaking, completely avoiding eye contact with Mi Wan.
"If you insist that you’re telling the truth, then why don’t you dare look at me?"
"I..." The witness’s eyes flickered evasively; his mind went blank, unsure what to say.
