An Lan looked apologetic. "I'm sorry, Mr. Nian. There really wasn't enough evidence. Our team has been working endlessly over the past month looking for case studies and studying them, but the court has rejected all of our reasons for the appeal."
Another lawyer, Zhao An, said, "The case was too well-known. If we don't have enough evidence, the court will never accept our request. If they do, it would invite the attention of the public again. The judges will face enormous pressure as well, and their reputation will be on the line. It's a huge risk for them."
"Yeah." An Lan nodded. "The public has always paid extra attention to acts of indecency. Xu Zhengxuan's case was huge back in the day. It would be helpful to find the victim, Zeng Lijuan, or his own secretary."
