With global currency devaluation, I'll wear these back and take my whole family flying!

October 26th.

The trial of Yan Wenxi's organized crime case began at 9:00 a.m. that day at the Zhonghui District People's Court.

This trial will be conducted in a closed-door manner. Except for the prosecutor's and defendant's lawyers, no one is allowed to attend the hearing, and no unofficial audio or video recording or journalists are allowed to enter.

Around six o'clock in the morning, Wang Zhaoning got up early to put on makeup and dress up. She wanted to make herself look beautiful so that if she had a chance to let Xizi see her, she would let him know that she was in good condition and would wait for him to come out.

Shen Ci also went home a day early and came over early in the morning after getting ready.

Yan's mother sat nervously on the sofa, muttering to herself, but she wasn't as noisy as usual.

Aunt Lin wrapped Xixi up and said with some concern, "Xixi isn't even a month old yet, do you really want to take her?"

"We should let Xizi see it, so he has something to look forward to," the old lady said, looking up at the words.

This was also her idea, and Aunt Lin dared not object, so she could only look helplessly at Shen Ci.

Shen Ci knew that Aunt Lin was worried about the baby. After all, the baby was not yet a month old, and it would be bad if the baby caught a cold from the wind. It would be very troublesome if a baby who was not yet a month old got sick.

"Auntie, Xixi won't go. She might not even be able to see my brother. Don't make things difficult for the child," Shen Ci said frankly.

Before the old lady could object, she added, "If we can see her, we'll all shout that it's a daughter, and he'll definitely hear us."

Wang Zhaoning came downstairs and echoed Shen Ci's words, "Aci is right. Xixi is too young to take out. The weather is getting cold at the end of October, and she can easily catch a cold."

The old lady opened her mouth, then noticed Shen Ci giving her a wink. She suddenly remembered that Shen Ci had told her to obey Wang Zhaoning in everything, so she quickly nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Seeing that it was almost time, Shen Ci told the old lady to go out and get in the car first: "Let's go early. Lawyer Qin said that the escort vehicle usually arrives at the court an hour in advance, but it's uncertain which gate it will enter through. We can only try our luck."

"Alright, alright, let's hurry up and set off, so we don't miss our time."

Wang Zhaoning instructed Lin Sao: "Take good care of Xixi. If I see Xizi, I'll video call you. When you do, point the camera at Xixi so that Xizi can see her."

"Don't worry, madam, I'll keep an eye on my phone. You're still in your postpartum period, so don't get too excited," Aunt Lin reassured Wang Zhaoning.

Wang Zhaoning nodded, and then she and Shen Ci went out hand in hand.

He checked that everyone in the driver's seat had fastened their seatbelts, and once he was sure they were ready to go, he started the car.

Around 7:30, the group arrived at the main entrance of the courthouse and found that Mr. Yang had already arrived.

"Uncle Yang, you've come too!"

"They're coming, no matter what, we need to know the verdict." Boss Yang said, first greeting Yan's mother, then looking at Wang Zhaoning with concern, "How is your wife? Are you feeling alright?"

"It's great, thank you for coming today, Brother Yang." Wang Zhaoning was touched, and her eyes involuntarily reddened.

"Oh, don't say that. Don't cry. Control your emotions. You're still in your postpartum period."

Wang Zhaoning nodded, blinking hard to hold back her tears.

Soon after, Attorney Qin, dressed in a black suit, arrived.

He had a serious expression and a meticulous demeanor; even from a distance, he exuded an imposing aura.

"Attorney Qin!"

Wang Zhaoning called out and took a few steps forward to greet them, and Shen Ci and the others quickly joined in.

Attorney Qin stopped and glanced indifferently at the group: "Everyone's here."

Yan's mother grabbed Attorney Qin's arm excitedly, her voice trembling with tears, and asked, "Attorney Qin, are we sure we can save Xizi? You must save him, you can't let him be sentenced to life imprisonment or death!"

"Auntie, please don't get agitated," Shen Ci quickly reassured her.

This old lady's love for her son is undeniable.

Attorney Qin appeared unharmed and seemed quite confident.

"Don't worry, everyone. I will do my best. You wait here. The escort vehicle may not come through the main gate, but it will most likely leave through the main gate. You will be able to see it from a distance, but please be careful not to do anything rash."

Upon hearing that there was a good chance she could see Xizi, Wang Zhaoning's eyes welled up with tears again.

Even Shen Ci's eyes reddened. It had been almost half a year since her brother was taken away, and during that time, he had been forbidden from visiting her. Today, she finally had the chance to see him.

Attorney Qin, carrying his briefcase, walked up the upper steps of the courthouse, his back straight as he headed towards the courthouse entrance.

Duanduan ran back to the car and brought out a few folding chairs: "Sister-in-law, please sit and wait, take care of yourself. Auntie, please sit too, I'll keep an eye on things for you."

Mr. Yang glanced at his watch; it was almost eight o'clock. "It should be about time. If they don't come by eight, then we'll have to wait until it's over."

Unexpectedly, Yan Wentao appeared at that moment.

"Mom, sister-in-law!"

He called out from across the street, attracting everyone's attention.

Wang Zhaoning frowned, her face revealing undisguised disgust.

The old lady was startled at first, then quickly explained, "Zhao Ning, it wasn't me who said that, I didn't tell him."

Shen Ci, on the other hand, was much calmer. She simply said indifferently, "It's no secret that my brother is in court today. It's easy for him to find out. Besides, we were bound to come today. He couldn't find his sister-in-law before, so it's normal for him to come to the court to confront her today."

As they spoke, Yan Wentao had already approached. His gaze fell on Wang Zhaoning's belly, and then he raised an eyebrow: "Oh, sister-in-law, you've given birth? Congratulations! Boy or girl?"

"Wentao!" The old lady glared at him and scolded, "You're not allowed to talk to your sister-in-law like that!"

"Mom, are you abandoning your son?" Yan Wentao said with a wronged expression, "I came home and no one was there. I called you and sent you messages but you didn't reply. I was about to call the police."

“Your sister-in-law gave birth, isn’t it my duty to take care of her? Why are you looking for your mother every day at your age?” Yan’s mother said unhappily, and then reminded him, “Your sister-in-law is still in her postpartum period and can’t be upset. If you’re here to see your brother today, you’d better behave yourself, or you can go back.”

"Of course I'm here to see my brother." Yan Wentao curled his lip, then turned to notice Shen Ci standing to the side. He narrowed his eyes and said in an unfriendly tone, "So you're here too, little girl!"

Shen Ci looked at him expressionlessly, too lazy to pay him any attention.

At this moment, Boss Yang sighed, "It's past eight o'clock, so the escort vehicle probably won't go through the main gate."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression darkened, except for Yan Wentao, who continued to press the old lady, "Did my sister-in-law have a boy or a girl? Where do you live now, Mom?"

On the last day of the month, my darlings, if you have monthly passes, go all in and cast them all, otherwise they will expire and be wasted after midnight on the 31st.
