The Elite Assassin Becomes a Flat and Ugly Nerd! Chapter 236 Selfless

236 Selfless

“You’re wrong, Mr. Cheng.” Shan Yue’s words were unhurried. She even slowly got up and poured herself half a gla.s.s of red wine. “The people who can come here today are not only high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but also the elites of various industries. Being able to enter this door means that you’re outstanding. As the youngest presiding judge in Federal City, you’re completely qualified to stand with everyone. It’s just that you don’t believe in yourself.”

Cheng Yue was still very depressed, and his tone revealed a hint of frustration. “But I’m just a small chief judge. Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, it’s already an unreachable height, but I’m still far from those powerful people behind me. Compared to the elites of other industries, I don’t have any advantages.”

Shan Yue’s tone was very casual, but it gave Cheng Yue more encouragement. “No, if you think that way, you’re wrong again. Before the banquet started, I did a detailed investigation on every guest who attended the banquet. After experiencing the superficial pleasantries, I didn’t look for anyone else. Instead, I found you first. I think my actions are enough to explain the problem.”

“Why is that?” Cheng Yue was puzzled. “Is there anything about me that’s worth President Shan taking the initiative to look for me?”

“The reason is very simple.” Shan Yue’s eyebrows slowly curved. “Because you were selfless when you judged and distinguished right from wrong. In today’s turbid society, there aren’t many people who can maintain such a quality. It’s these that make me admire you very much.”

“Thank you for your appreciation, President Shan.” Cheng Yue smiled and scratched his head. “I think this is the most basic quality of a judge. If I don’t even have this basic principle, what right do I have to sentence criminals?”

“Since Mr. Cheng has been a judge for so long, logically speaking, you should know a lot of lawyers.” Shan Yue gently raised her dark eyebrows a few times. “I wonder if Mr. Cheng has heard of Lawyer Xi Feng?”

“Don’t tell me that the Xi Feng you’re talking about is the one who’s famous both domestically and overseas and is very authoritative internationally. He won a hundred defense rounds.” Cheng Yue was instantly interested when he heard this name. “I’m a judge, I’ve come into contact with lawyers quite often. But even if I’m an ordinary person, I’ll definitely have an impression of such a famous person. Furthermore, I was lucky enough to watch Lawyer Xi Feng’s lawsuit.”

Shan Yue’s lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. “Oh? How does it feel to listen, Mr. Cheng?”

“Of course I’m deeply touched. The main judge of that lawsuit was my teacher, but it was also because I listened to Xi Feng’s defense that I gradually entered the best state and reached my current position step by step.” Cheng Yue’s eyes flickered as he spoke. “Lawyer Xi Feng’s logic is very strong, so no one can find any flaws. Moreover, he can find a breakthrough from the other party’s defense lawyer and crush him to death in one go. This is something no other lawyer can do.”

Listening to Cheng Yue’s answer, Shan Yue knew very well that he was not lying. She knew Xi Feng’s ability better than anyone. In the past, Xi Feng had helped her solve many troublesome matters.

“Since Mr. Cheng has already replaced your master as the main judge.” Shan Yue’s speech was very calm, and her eyebrows were slightly raised. “Do you want to personally judge a lawsuit defended by Lawyer Xi Feng?”

After Cheng Yue heard this, he instantly stood up from his seat, looking very excited. “Really, President Shan, you still have a way to let me preside over Lawyer Xi Feng’s lawsuit? Then I won’t have any regrets in my life as a judge.”

“Don’t be so agitated, Mr. Cheng,” Shan Yue quickly explained. “I can only do my best. If things go according to plan, there won’t be a lawsuit between the two sides. However, if things eventually escape my control, Mr. Cheng can witness Lawyer Xi Feng’s defense process with your own eyes.”
