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

Next, each defendant stood up in turn to declare their identity.

Their defense attorneys also rose one by one to announce their identity and affirm their authority to represent.

A straightforward court opening procedure surprisingly took almost ten minutes to complete.

"Alright, everyone is now present, and I hereby declare the trial officially underway!"

After the presiding judge finished speaking, the associate judge immediately took over.

"According to the provisions of the ******* Criminal Procedure Law, the plaintiff, Chief Physician of Haidong University Affiliated Hospital, now legally initiates criminal prosecution against the defendants Duan Jun, Wu Hong... Please adjudicate according to the law."

"Please outline the facts of the case, plaintiff..."

The associate judge strained to finish reading the long list of defendants' names and looked at Gu Yu as if relieved.

Gu Yu remained seated and did not start speaking immediately.

It seemed he was brewing his emotions.

Dozens of eyes stared at him, not understanding why he wasn't speaking.

The presiding judge patiently waited for a minute.

Gu Yu's expression kept changing, but he still did not open his mouth.

"Plaintiff, do you have some indescribable difficulty? If not, please quickly state the facts of the case!"

The presiding judge frowned, and those sitting in the gallery craned their necks to see what was happening.

Lead reporter from the Modu Current Affairs Newspaper, Duan Jun, sitting across in the defendants' seats, looked at Gu Yu, who remained silent, and could not help but snicker with the other reporters.

"Heh, could it be that he's intimidated by our numbers? Kids will be kids, too scared to speak because of a little pressure."

"Yeah, haha, so nervous yet he dares to sue us?" Experience tales with empire

"Hey, are you too nervous to open your mouth? Withdraw the case!"

The faces of several defendants showed mockery, and some even shouted at Gu Yu to withdraw the case.

"This is the plaintiff's time, defendants are to remain silent!" The associate judge's eyebrows shot up as he glared sternly.

Did these reporters think it was okay to behave this way in court just because they're accustomed to public appearances?

No wonder incidents like intruding into the hospital's emergency room for interviews occurred!

And no wonder Gu Yu cursed at them; they deserved it!

Realizing they had angered the associate judge, the defendants fell silent again, but they still looked at Gu Yu with scornful faces.

However, the next second, Gu Yu's speech caught them all off guard.

"Wuu wuu..."

Gu Yu started with something akin to sobbing, leaving the audience baffled, wondering what he was doing.

Before the presiding judge could inquire, Gu Yu suddenly buried his head on the desk and began to sob loudly.

"Your Honor! Wuuu, Your Honor, they have slandered me! They have damaged my reputation, insulted my personal dignity, and seriously hurt my self-esteem."

"I am just an ordinary doctor working diligently and painstakingly every day. I just want to save my patients, what is my fault?"

"Your Honor, please give me justice!"

Gu Yu cried dramatically, wiping his face with the water from the cup in front of him to mimic tears and nasal mucus.

It made one feel that even Dou E, who cried at the collapse of the Great Wall, could not have been more wronged.

The presiding judge was utterly confused.

Not just the presiding judge, everyone in the courtroom was equally perplexed, and Lin Xinyue's eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

In everyone's mind, a common question arose: "What's gotten into the plaintiff (Gu Yu)?"

Only Luo San, sitting calmly as if a serene monk, remained unmoved.

However, a closer look revealed the veins throbbing at his temples.

"Such a familiar tactic... this kid... is at it again!" Luo San glanced at Gu Yu from the corner of his eye, the scene feeling all too familiar to him.

Wasn't it in the same tone that Gu Yu had cried over the Feixin voice call, begging him for help?

At that time Luo San, despite knowing it couldn't possibly be that bad, couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to make an exception to attend this time.

And now this piece of history was replaying before his eyes!

And this time, Gu Yu's sobbing was pitch-perfect!

If Luo San hadn't known Gu Yu's true colors, he would have thought he was truly having a breakdown at that moment.

This Oscar for Best Actor should definitely be awarded; there's just no excuse not to!

"Ahem, Plaintiff, please try to stay calm. I will make a fair and lawful judgment in accordance with the law. If you've truly been harmed, I believe the law will definitely give you justice!"

The presiding judge coughed twice to hide his embarrassment.

Gu Yu's call of "My Lord" had thrown him into complete disarray, making him feel as though he had suddenly put on an ancient costume and become an upright official from ancient times.

"Yes, Yu, don't get too worked up... Mr. Luo has already said it, right? We can't possibly lose this case. I believe the presiding judge will give you a satisfactory verdict!"

"Waah, stop crying, if you cry, I'm going to cry too!"

Except for Luo San and Chen Tian, who were somewhat familiar with Gu Yu, and the people in the gallery, Lin Xinyue was the only one who knew Gu Yu inside and out.

Not only did she know Gu Yu was just putting on an act, but she had even started to play along!

She reached out to pretend to wipe her eyes, using her sleeve to cover her mouth, which was twitching with suppressed laughter.

As the beauty showed sorrow, the people in the gallery also began to feel moved.

"Yes! Trust in the trial! Believe in the law!"

"A man may cry; crying is not a crime! These villains will surely face the severe punishment of the law!"

The crowd began to offer words of comfort one after another.

Gu Yu sneakily turned his head to wink at Lin Xinyue to affirm their acting, and Lin Xinyue cheekily rolled her eyes.

Probably only Gu Yu would dare to do such a thing in this kind of situation.

Even though he had already garnered everyone's sympathy, Gu Yu did not stop the acting that had erupted from within him:

He pointed with a trembling hand toward the defendant's bench:

"Presiding judge, how can I not be agitated! They have maliciously slandered me online, and now I face cyberbullying every day. My Dou Ying account is bombarded with private messages, my phone is overwhelmed with calls, and every day people block the entrance of the Affiliated Hospital where I work!"

"Truly, I can neither work nor rest well, nothing I eat tastes good, and I can't sleep! I've suffered severe trauma both materially and mentally!"

"My lord judge! Please stand up for this humble commoner!"

Gu Yu was tearful with an explosive performance.

Especially the last line, which made everyone feel as if they had been transported back to ancient times, with the courtroom seeming to turn into an ancient court...

"Ahem, there are no lords or commoners here, we are all just ordinary people each carrying out our duties. Plaintiff, don't get worked up, besides that, do you have anything else to say?"

The presiding judge just felt like there were many thorns on his seat.

No matter how he shifted, it was uncomfortable.

He felt that all he was missing was a judge's gavel in his hand and a black gauze cap on his head before slamming the gavel down and shouting: "Who amongst you has a complaint to present?"

But this is modern times, after all!

"As a public servant, I must maintain a proper attitude..." the presiding judge thought to himself.

The expressions of the defendants in the defendant's bench were even more splendid.

Wasn't this supposed to be a defamation case?

How come Gu Yu made it seem as if they had slaughtered his entire family?

If they gave Gu Yu a finger-pressing clasp too, wouldn't it immediately become a reenactment of the scene where Chang Wei beats up Laifu?

But having already been warned by the judge earlier, they could only glare viciously at Gu Yu, not daring to speak out loud.

"Of course! My lord judge! I still have so much more to accuse them of. You have no idea! Ever since I was slandered, I've lost a whole ten..."

"Stop, stop, stop! The plaintiff has finished his statement. Now, it's time for the defendant to explain their side of the story and for the defendant's lawyer to present the defense!"

The presiding judge, who had initially hoped for Gu Yu to say something substantive, immediately stopped him from continuing.

He feared that if Gu Yu went on, the defamation case would turn into the greatest miscarriage of justice ever!

"Ahem..."

Seeing the presiding judge's displeased expression, Gu Yu knew when to cut his performance short, hastily composing himself.

This ability to turn emotions on and off left everyone in the gallery astounded.

So, all of Gu Yu's display had been an act.

The presiding judge, who caught a glimpse of Gu Yu leisurely sipping tea, felt his own fists tighten.

If this were not a courtroom, he might have gone down and given Gu Yu a couple punches.

Chen Tian was close to laughing himself silly.

Gu Yu had obviously put on weight, where did he look like he lost ten pounds?

The guy was a natural-born actor; it would be a waste if he didn't become one!
