Good news!?

Everyone’s eyes lit up. Before they could ask, Zhao Yi continued to speak:

"According to information from the National Medical Insurance Bureau, they are currently in contact with Imatinib manufacturers..."

Medical Insurance Bureau?

What is this?

To put it simply, it’s a summary.

National Medical Insurance!

As expected, when this statement was made, the reporters on the scene immediately swept away any resentful emotions they had earlier. Their eyes lit up, and they began to ask questions incessantly.

Zhao Yi’s forehead started to sweat; he began to carefully consider his responses.

Press conference backstage...

"Not bad, not bad, this Judge Zhao is indeed very capable, very good."

People from the Supreme Prosecution Office and other officials looked at Zhao Yi’s back and listened to what he said, showing admiration and praise on their faces.

To handle such a situation so effortlessly and even be aware of the hidden strategies, considering the implications of his responses...

’yes’ or ’no’ precisely chooses ’or’, even knowing how to use benefits to divert journalists’ attention.

"Ah, I heard last year Judge Zhao was only working at the Intermediate Court..."

"Old Wang, your court’s promotions are really... ah, burying talent, pearls covered in dust!"

Someone sighed and said.

Upon hearing.

Wang Yao in the crowd blushed, but soon felt emotional too.

Since 2004, it’s been known that Hanhai City Intermediate Court has a judge with strong shoulders who can shoulder an aircraft carrier.

To be honest, Wang Yao initially thought it was an exaggeration.

After all, he checked the information on the other party, and although the cases handled had no major issues, they were just ordinary enough to be suitable for Intermediate Court.

It wasn’t until several cases boosted him to the High Court.

He thought the other party would blend in as a regular judge in High Court.

Until...

Let me put it this way.

Wang Yao has a student named Shi Shan.

Yes, he happens to be the head of the Criminal Division of the Lanshan Province High People’s Court!

Shi Shan told Wang Yao, Lanshan Province has a gold brick, and it’s very useful, where needed it’s used, and it can withstand anything!

Indeed, this is the case.

Shi Shan fully utilized Zhao Yi, and the handling of the Tianshan Hospital case was perfect, allowing the case to swiftly become a trial case, and Zhao Yi, who handled the human trial case, never showed any flaws.

The legendary pressure-resistant king!

"Not bad, not bad, since the press conference went smoothly, I’ll just go ahead then."

"I’m still negotiating over at the Medical Insurance side, guessing the prices can be further reduced."

People from the National Medical Insurance Bureau saw Zhao Yi’s flawless message delivery, expressed satisfaction, and later said he only needs to relay these words to the reporters verbatim, without needing to use his own brain.

So they prepared to leave.

Others almost did the same.

From the Prosecutor’s Office looking at Zhao Yi with an obsessed gaze, or perhaps, admiration!

Compared to the courts.

The Prosecutor’s Office faces real pressure!

Why?

Because the Prosecutor’s Office has to be responsible for public prosecution. Some cases may be legal justice, but not moral!

Take the Chen Dong case, if Zhang Cheng hadn’t taken over, it would be the Prosecutor’s Office responsible for prosecuting Chen Dong, which morally and emotionally places immense pressure on the prosecutor, the scorns they might face daily estimate enough to drown someone!

Some prosecutors with poor psychological endurance may even become depressed.

What they really need is a talent like Zhao Yi!!!

"The stronger the opponent, the stronger you become. The more serious the case, the more cautious and proficient the skills..."

"Possessing strong mental qualities, able to withstand all external pressure, clear-headed..."

"Their judicial expertise is extremely high too!"

Su Guo from the Supreme Prosecution Office murmured, clearly showing interest.

Why be a judge?

Change careers and be a prosecutor!

Prosecutors lack top-tier stress-resistant talent!

"Old Wang, how about this person...." Su Guo couldn’t help but look at Wang Yao.

Wang Yao:....

"Judge Zhao is over fifty." Wang Yao said expressionlessly.

"Fifty is just the prime age in the system to explore!" Su Guo said unwillingly.

"Go, go, go!" Wang Yao rolled his eyes.

He has a good relationship with Su Guo and Wu Chengjun, occasionally able to curse a little.

Su Guo felt a bit unwilling but knew it was just wishful thinking.

"Alas, insulted by slaves’ hands, dying amid trough and pen!"

Su Guo felt very pained, shaking his head while leaving.

"Pearls covered in dust... pearls covered in dust!"

Wang Yao:...

Watching Su Guo’s departing silhouette, Wang Yao fell into silence.

Did the other party secretly curse him twice...

Forget it.

Wang Yao only felt exhausted; he’s had a hard time these past two years.

But when thinking of Zhao Yi and comparing with him, he instantly felt a lot better.

After a while.

The press conference was successfully completed, Zhao Yi wiped the sweat off his forehead, breathed out, and pulled out a smile as he left the scene, entering the backstage.

"Judge Wang, the press conference is over, and further details of the case have been discussed and concluded."

"It’s getting late, I have to catch the evening flight, so I won’t stay longer at the Supreme Court."

Zhao Yi said, pulling the corner of his mouth.

Immediately, he showed a nostalgic expression on his face.

Honestly, he’s always had a filter for the Supreme Court.

After all, the highest judicial hall is no joke, many judges and lawyers, even Supreme Prosecution Office dream of holding a lawsuit here!

But now his dream has shattered.

The Supreme Court is just as bad as the Middle Court, treating him like a brick!

Zhao Yi couldn’t figure out, what was the perspective behind the words at the press conference just now, that a judge from the High Court could say...

"Let me walk you out."

Wang Yao realized this and felt slightly embarrassed, so he offered to accompany him.

Zhao Yi didn’t object.

At this moment, there were still quite a few journalists inside the courthouse, but as long as they were away from the cameras, and considering this was the Supreme Court, not many journalists dared to be so blind as to stop them for an exclusive interview.

"So, Judge Zhao, what do you think of Upper City?"

During the walk, Wang Yao suddenly asked.

He thought about it; Zhao Yi could seemingly move up in both ability and career history.

As for age... at fifty, he’s in his prime within the system!

"Upper City..."

Zhao Yi grumbled inwardly, could he say that Upper City also treats people like workhorses!?

But...

Zhao Yi suddenly considered.

His appointment at Upper City was meant for the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court...

Does that mean he no longer has to deal with High Court cases!?

After all, a gruesome murder case, with seven or eight killings, is tried at the Middle Court in the first instance.

The second instance is the High Court; only a retrial gets to the Supreme Court, and launching a retrial or overturning a verdict is extremely difficult...

So, theoretically...

"How many times has Judge Wang met Xu Liang?" Zhao Yi was tempted but inquired indirectly.

"Xu Liang? The lawyer from Lanshan Province? That scoundrel’s student?"

Wang Yao paused, recalling the image of Xu Liang in his mind.

Scoundrel?

Zhao Yi was puzzled, but he knew they were talking about the same person, so he said, "Yes, him."

"Hardly met." Wang Yao said truthfully.

He had met him just once, and that was in the office, seeing his beloved assistant leaving with Xu Liang.

"Only once? Not even for a case!?"

Zhao Yi was overjoyed.

"Right, never saw him in court," Wang Yao responded.

Seeing Zhao Yi’s reaction, he couldn’t help but add, "By the way, does Judge Zhao have... grudges against Lawyer Xu?"

"Not exactly a grudge, just not a good first and second impression."

Zhao Yi sighed, feeling a deep sadness and bitterness:

"The case from July 2004, Judge Wang should remember."

"The Chen Dong case was mine. Although it was infuriating to judge, it went okay overall; the impression was decent, but after the verdict..."

As he spoke, Zhao Yi’s face showed a pained expression.

He would never forget the scene after court adjournment.

Liu Mingbo set up a case with a wrapped corpse, dug his mother’s body from the grave, wrapped it in a bamboo mat, and brought it to the Middle Court, shouting grievances in front of a dozen media reporters!

This counted as a serious work blunder, spreading nationwide overnight, even reporters from neighboring countries covered it.

No joke.

When Zhao Yi walked from the office to the lobby then,

His legs were almost trembling from fear!

"Yes, right in this lobby."

Saying this, they arrived at the first-floor lobby of the Supreme Court.

Looking at the reception hall over there, Zhao Yi stopped, pointing to where Liu Mingbo had stood.

His gaze settled there, beyond dozens of reporters, saying:

"He stood right here, filing a case in front of dozens of reporters, and later I took charge of it again. I couldn’t sleep peacefully for months!"

Zhao Yi talked and suddenly froze, looking in the direction he pointed to, fell silent.

There, two people stood.

One, with a missing left hand, held a briefcase with his right, a middle-aged man, ragged and gaunt like a homeless person.

Beside him, a young man, broad and burly.

Zhao Yi suddenly felt slightly disoriented.

He felt like at this moment... why did it seem familiar!?

"Dad!"

At this moment, Wang Chao, who brought Liu Jinshui to the Supreme Court, saw Wang Yao as soon as he entered, and ran excitedly over.

"What brings you to the court?"

Wang Yao frowned, looking at his son, whispered, "Keep it together, don’t embarrass me!"

He cherished his son, but why hadn’t his intelligence inherited from him!?

"Oh." Wang Chao nodded earnestly.

"By the way, why did you come to the Supreme Court? Not going to the police station first?"

Wang Yao suddenly realized and frowned, questioning.

After all, this pertained to his career path, his son might be silly, but he was still his son, he had to be concerned.

"I came to bring a friend here, whom I just met. He has something to do at the court."

Wang Chao explained.

Friend?

Wang Yao was puzzled, but before he could speak, he heard Zhao Yi suddenly say: 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"The friend you mentioned... is that him?"

Zhao Yi looked at Liu Jinshui amidst the crowd, a hint of doubt arose in his heart.

That stance... that look... and that demeanor...

It seemed familiar.

Really familiar!

Zhao Yi stared at Liu Jinshui’s face, inexplicably feeling a wave of unknown fear.

This is just too over-the-top!

Wang Chao smiled, "Dad, it’s him!"
