"A closed trial?"
Mmm, Quan Shaoteng spoke softly, "Apart from the parties involved in the case, there won't be any unrelated individuals present in the courtroom, and the content of the trial will not be made public."
Chi Yue gently gathered her clothes to shield against the cool autumn breeze, giving herself a moment to hesitate.
"Chi Yue, this is the result of the efforts of countless people. If the criminal escapes justice or doesn't receive the punishment they deserve, would you be content?" Quan Shaoteng's deep black eyes fiercely fixed on her, at first stunning, then perilous upon a closer look.
"My mom won't agree," Chi Yue clutched at the only excuse she had, like grabbing a straw to convince herself, "She's very stubborn; I can't persuade her."
"You can." Quan Shaoteng smiled faintly, "You just need to mention that only if Chi Yan agrees to testify in court can Qiao Rui'an be retried and Qiao Dongyang's name cleared, and she won't refuse."
"..." Chi Yue fell silent.
