At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

Lin Xinyue nodded eagerly: "Has Chuyin been okay recently? I'll have some time in a few days, I'll go keep her company then!"

Chen Tian smiled, showing his teeth, and nodded in agreement.

The reporters down the steps were all stunned.

Chen Tian actually has such a good relationship with Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue?

He seemed to be like an elder to Gu Yu!

But one has the surname Chen, one Gu, and another Lin, they can't be from the same family, right?

Nobody has heard about Chen Tian having close ties with any of the Gu families in Modu!

Just then, some sharp-eyed reporters suddenly noticed a detail!

Chen Tian's car was identical to Gu Yu's car!

Both were driving the Audi A8L quattro luxury edition! The same model, just with different manufacturing years.

Gu Yu's was the 2013 model, while Chen Tian had the 2018 version. Although they were manufactured in different years, the cars were exactly the same.

Especially as both cars were well-maintained, currently parked side by side, they looked like two new cars at an exhibition.

"The license plate number of the Audi A8L that Gu Yu drives, where have I seen it before...?"

Some finance reporters familiar with Chen Tian's personal history thought about Gu Yu's license plate number 88488 and fell into deep thought.

About a minute later, these people had a sudden realization and slapped their thighs: "Isn't this the car Old Mr. Chen used to drive!?"

Why was Gu Yu driving this car?

Reporters who knew a bit about Chen Tian were aware that he personally didn't like luxury cars from other brands, always traveling in this Audi A8L model.

It had almost become Chen Tian's personal signature.

And today, Chen Tian's beloved car had become Gu Yu's!

What was the relationship between them?

What had Gu Yu done, or who was he, to have Chen Tian gift him his beloved car?

"Isn't Gu Yu just a university student from Haidong University?"

"No way? Isn't Gu Yu a doctor? Didn't he come here to deal with a defamation case?"

"I remember Gu Yu was one of the developers of the Life Restart Simulator, oh right, he's the boss behind Ideal Paradise, the company behind the simulator game!"

"...I seem to remember he's also an internet celebrity? Didn't he become the National Husband after his cover of Chen Yixun's 'Lonely Brave' went viral?"

"Damn... how many identities does he have!?"

The journalists present came from all sorts of industries, and they all had some understanding of Gu Yu's identity.

But they only knew about the aspects that they paid attention to.

Now, as everyone gathered together and shared what they knew about Gu Yu, they suddenly realized a big problem.

What exactly was Gu Yu's identity?

Why did it feel like Gu Yu was everywhere?

Why was Gu Yu known in every industry he was involved in?

More critically, in those fields, he was very famous...

Now, Gu Yu had also revealed that he knew Chen Tian and their relationship was no shallow matter.

This made everyone start to wonder.

Now to say Gu Yu was an ordinary person, no one would believe that anymore.

Could an ordinary person hold multiple positions and do them all well?

Could an ordinary person chat with Chen Tian and interact with him using the etiquette between elders and juniors?

They must be kidding!

All the journalists realized this was a massive scoop, and the owner of that scoop was now standing on the steps talking with Chen Tian.

Every one of them was envious and wanted to rush up the steps to grab Gu Yu and ask him everything.

The pressure on the bodyguards increased substantially.

Watching the reporters below inexplicably getting excited, Gu Yu's eyelids twitched.

Why did it feel like those people were about to eat him alive?

"Well, the trial is about to start, Old Mr. Chen. I'll go in first!"

Gu Yu pretended to check his phone, then bid Chen Tian farewell.

But Chen Tian grabbed hold of him.

"Don't rush, I'll go in with you. I'm here to serve on the jury this time."

Chen Tian's face was full of a kindly smile.

Gu Yu looked surprised, "Serve on the jury?"

Chen Tian nodded as if it were a matter of course: "Of course. How could there be no family and friends to support one of my younger relatives in court?"

He raised an eyebrow, like an old man indulging his junior.

"Jury? Support group?" Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue exchanged a glance, surprise in both their eyes.

They had thought Chen Tian was there on business.

But to think he had come specially for the trial!

Gu Yu was truly flattered and hurriedly extended his hand toward Chen Tian with an inviting gesture, "That's great! Mr. Chen, please, after you!"

Gu Yu truly had nothing negative to say about Mr. Chen.

Ever since they met, he had been unconditionally helping him.

Otherwise, Shengda Game would not have maintained a partnership with Ideal Paradise.

To put it bluntly, the mobile game channels of Shengda Game had almost become the backyard of Ideal Paradise.

For any small company, this would have been impossible.

Granted, the products of Ideal Paradise were good enough, but Chen Tian's covert support was indispensable.

He felt a deep gratitude towards Mr. Chen in his heart.

Helping was a favor, not helping was the norm!

But as long as he had been helped, he owed that favor.

Seeing Gu Yu extending an invitation with the humility of a junior, Chen Tian did not stand on ceremony and stepped into the courtroom.

Now, outside with so many media watching, it was necessary to maintain appearances.

Gu Yu was well aware of this.

Even if he had a good relationship with Mr. Chen, at this moment, he couldn't act presumptuously.

Otherwise, it would be a loss of face for Mr. Chen.

Besides, lowering his posture also allowed him to appear as low-key as possible, for his current momentum was so strong that he feared it might attract unwanted attention.

Mr. Chen was an excellent shield.

At this time, Mr. Luo San also approached.

Upon seeing Luo San, Chen Tian turned around and shook hands with him, "Mr. Luo San, I've long admired your reputation!"

Luo San offered a faint smile, neither humble nor arrogant, "Mr. Chen, I've long admired your reputation!"

Both were eminent figures in their respective fields.

When one reaches the top in an industry, it is inevitable to come into contact with another, so even if the two had never interacted before, they were familiar with each other's names.

Their handshake lasted a full half-minute before they let go, signifying mutual recognition.

"So it's you who will be defending me, a trouble-prone junior, in this case? I really can't thank you enough!"

Spotting that Luo San wasn't much of a talker, Chen Tian took the initiative to speak.

"Hmm, don't mention it, Gu Yu has attended my lectures, so he's like a student of mine, and as a teacher, it's only right that I help my student," Luo San said with a small smile on his lips.

His words were steady and firm, and although they seemed like ordinary pleasantries, they somehow carried an underlying philosophical tone to the listeners.

"A teacher's responsibility! Caring for students, that's excellent!"

Chen Tian gave a thumbs-up and then laughed heartily, inviting Mr. Luo, "Today's your show, Mr. Luo, and I'm just observing, so please, you go ahead!"

The three of them insisted and deferred to each other, but in the end, it was Mr. Luo who entered the courtroom first.

After all, Gu Yu was the plaintiff today, and Mr. Luo was his sole defense lawyer, so today's courtroom was indeed under Mr. Luo's direction.

Without ceremony, Mr. Luo stepped slowly into the courtroom.

Chen Tian, Gu Yu, and Lin Xinyue followed closely behind.

The courtroom was an open-style square decoration, dominated by a striking and solemn palette of white, black, and red.

The seats of the presiding judge and the jurors were placed on high steps inside, with the plaintiff and defendant seating areas to both sides.

However, the defendant seating area was somewhat crowded today, as many extra chairs had been added.

What was originally a single long table at the defendant's seat had been expanded to five long tables, almost extending to the doorway on the right, as there were a good dozen people seated there.

Seven defendant journalists, along with seven defense lawyers...

When Luo San entered, all present ceased their activities.

"May I take my seat?"

Mr. Luo respectfully inquired of the presiding judge seated high in the center.

The normally stern-faced judge revealed a faint smile and extended a hand in a welcoming gesture.

"Mr. Luo, please take your seat! The court will soon be in session, I ask all parties and attorneys to be seated!"

"Clang!" A sudden noise erupted from the defendant's area as a chair hit the floor.

Two lawyers collapsed onto the ground, hands clutching the table, staring at Luo San incredulously, their expressions tinged with panic as they blurted out, "Why is it Luo San!"

"Damn! Had I known I'd be going up against Luo San in court, I wouldn't have come!"

A commotion arose within the plaintiff's area!
