A trace of panic flashed past Du Ruqing's eyes. He subconsciously pulled away from the other party's hands and quickly ran out of the room, not giving the other party any additional opportunities to explain themselves.

His heart beat faster and faster. It was unknown if it was because he was nervous or because he was afraid. He quickly returned to his room and laid on his bed. He wanted to clear his mind, but he was unable to calm his emotions. In a daze, he actually fell asleep.

"Still no leeway?" Lu Juyan's vision grew hazy as he looked at Du Ruqing's fleeing figure. After hearing someone slam the door, it was unknown whether it was his subconscious words or unintentional mumbling.

Lu Juyan's fingertips brushed against his own thin lips as the feeling from earlier echoed in his mind. It was soft, sweet, and even more delicious than he'd imagined. However, it only lasted for a split-second. He could not help but silently rub himself against it.

The corner of his lips curled up into a smile. His greedy love made Lu Juyan subconsciously ignore the discontent in his heart. His line of sight once again returned to the computer data, determined to help clean up the identity.

Lu Juyan only crawled into bed in a daze when the sleepiness hit him. Lying down on the bed, he directly met up with Zhou Gonggong. The noble aura around him made him look even better in his sleeping posture.

It was unknown whether it was because they were too tired or because the two of them had expended too much energy, but only when it was late in the morning did they slightly open their eyes.

After washing up in the house, the two of them turned the door and prepared to go downstairs, but they coincidentally bumped into each other.

"Morning."

At the same time, they looked at each other. It was as if the two of them subconsciously said this word and smiled at each other. He forgot the awkwardness of yesterday and continued to talk.

"It's about time. Let's go." Lu Juyan looked at the watch on his wrist and noticed that it was almost ready. He walked downstairs and spoke to Du Liqing, who had finished washing the dishes.

Lu Juyan couldn't help but smile as he looked at Du Ruqing wearing the clothes he'd chosen for her. He felt satisfied in his heart.

He brought Du Liqing with him to the parking spot. When they saw the person in the car, they subconsciously reminded him to fasten his seat belt and start the car after everything was ready.

Walking out of the district, heading towards the court's destination. He found a parking space in front of the courthouse. Just as he was about to walk down, the reporters who were squatting outside rushed out one after another.

"May I ask if Miss Du and the man by her side are lovers?" The reporters blocked their path of retreat, using the microphone to face Du Liqing, and deliberately asked him about it.

"May I ask if the relationship between Miss Du and Mr. Sun broke down because of your aversion to the new? Please explain why you came out of the house in a clean slate. " Another reporter also asked a sharp question, each one more powerful than the last.

Du Liqing and Sun Jiangyuan were both well-known figures in the society. Now, they had caused such a ruckus because of their marriage. A lot of popular entertainment companies naturally wanted to get their hands on the latest news as well, in order to gain more popularity.

Many of the onlookers came over at the same time. Listening to the reporter's words, they couldn't help but throw plastic bottles at Du Ruqing to express their contempt and disdain for him. Women who colluded with each other were never able to escape from public discrimination and disgust.

After being hit by the plastic bottle, Du Ruqing regained his consciousness. His white face did not say a single word, but his heart was filled with grievance and bitterness.

"Excuse me, we need to go in." Lu Juyan couldn't bear to see Du Xiangqing suffer any grievances. He immediately took off his suit jacket and protected her in his arms while pressing his jacket against her head.

A trace of impatience flashed across the eyes of the bustling crowd as he used his other hand to push away the others. The chauffeur also got out of the car to help pave the way for their boss.

There were too many people, so the two of them moved extremely slowly. Lu Juyan couldn't help but feel even more annoyed. He took out his cell phone and called his men. He ordered coldly, "Come to the court and get out of this predicament."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and put his phone back into his pocket. He held back the sharp questions of the reporters and waited silently as the plastic bottles smashed against each other's hands.

After a while, a group of people wearing suits and leather shoes squeezed through the crowd and opened up a path. Lu Juyan had safely brought Du Liangqing into the arena without causing anyone any harm.

"Thank you." Du Ruqing had a feeling for the human heart. Looking at the bruises on the other party's arm caused by the plastic bottle smashing onto it, her eyes displayed guilt and gratitude.

However, what Sun Jiangyuan saw with his eyes was a show of bragging. He coldly glanced at them and purposely stirred up the matter when the court began its trial. He then chose to open a public hearing.

Du Liqing and Lu Juyan did not express any opinions, so the judge could only agree with this statement in embarrassment. Quite a few people sat in the stands. There were also quite a few reporters who rushed in and forcibly occupied the first row, thereby obtaining the best news.

After a long trial, the lawyers from both sides began to identify the time and present the evidence. Their delicate tongues clashed, and their words were incomparably sharp.

"Mr. Lu, as a witness, please provide the facts of the abduction and sale of Prosecutor Miss Du Liqing by the accused Mr. Sun Jiangyuan."

As both sides were in a stalemate, the lawyer looked towards Lu Juyan, indicating to him that the matter had been brought to light, thus proving that Du Liqing had not fled this place with his lover.

"Your Honor, I was a teacher there. That night I saw Du Liqing being chased and saved, so I brought him back."

Lu Juyan had sent over all the information he had heard and all the information he had seen, as well as his identity as the head teacher of that area.

"No, it's not true! People can buy it! "

Sun Jiangyuan looked at the man as a peculiar emotion flashed through his eyes. His previously tranquil expression now seemed somewhat uneasy by the other party's words. He could not help but open his mouth to argue, as if he had done nothing wrong.

"Indeed, do you have any evidence?" Sun Jiangyuan's lawyer saw the opening and walked up to question the opposing lawyer. A trace of provocation flashed through his eyes.

The few of them looked at each other and realized that there seemed to be no evidence. They couldn't help but quieten down.

"We have evidence that the prosecutor, Miss Dean, cheated on her. Your Honor, please look it up." The lawyer took out a backup copy from the original copy in Sun Jiangyuan's hand, inserted the USB drive into his laptop, and handed it to the judge with both hands.

The evidence on Sun Jiangyuan's side was relatively stable, but it seemed like the evidence on Du Liqing's side was missing. The momentum of both sides did not diminish, making it impossible for the judge to judge them.

"As Lu Juyan has no material evidence to implicate the prosecutor Du Liqing, the testimony is not valid and the court adjourned temporarily." The hammer struck once, and a sound rang out. The judge announced to everyone, while giving both sides time to search for evidence.
