Xu Baohan stopped and spoke calmly, “You must stand firm then. Please promise me you won’t get emotional. It’s very easy to slip and fall there. It rained yesterday and there’s moss growing on it. If you slip, the firemen may not be able to support your body weight in time and your bones may all just shatter into pieces. This position in particular will likely result in your brain hitting the ground and your brain matter oozing out of your head like soft tofu pudding. You’ve had tofu pudding before right?”

Zhao Gui’s face turned pale instantly, “Shut up.”

​ 

He tightened his grip on the railing subconsciously as he spoke. F”ck, he didn’t want to die, he thought.

“I can’t shut up. I’m really concerned about the situation you’re currently in,” Xu Bao Han said coldly, his tone matching the disdainful look on his handsome face.

Zhao Gui was speechless.

As it turned out, his colleagues present in court were too. This was a really good way of persuading someone not to commit suicide.

“Would my son have died if it not for Yue?” Zhao Gui took a deep breath to steady his mind and focus his thoughts, “If you don’t sentence him, I’ll jump down from here.”

Following this, he held the radio and began to sob.

“My poor son was killed for nothing. I’m not even asking for Yue Xin to be sentenced to death. I’m merely hoping that the court sees he needs to be locked up for 20 to 30 years,” he said loudly.

His booming voice and tall stature caught the attention of many passer-bys outside the courthouse who were on their way home. They snapped numerous pictures.

Su Run grew more anxious, “Your Honour, if he continues crying like this, people may start to think that you were the one who took the bribe. What the heck is going on? He accused you previously of taking the bribe and yet it seems like he has decided to change his strategy. While he’s no longer shouting at or attacking you, every word that has left his mouth harms you in some way.”

“The people of the Zhao family aren’t even good people to begin with. They may have been too agitated in court before. They seem to have calmed down but it just might be the case that someone is directing their actions now and that’s the reason why they’ve come upstairs to commit suicide,” Xu Baohan frowned.

After a quick moment of silence, he turned to Zhao Gui and said, “If you really care about your son, I wouldn’t mind letting you rush back to quickly submit your documents and put in a request for a retrial.”

“I don’t want to have a retrial,” Zhao Gui shook his head, “I want you to retract the verdict from this afternoon. You can either bring Yue Xin back or hold another court session. If you refuse agree, I’m afraid I won’t be able to stay here much longer.”

Secretary Liu said angrily, “Don’t you think you’re being too shameless? How could you even request for him to retract the verdict so easily? What kind of court do you think he presides over? You even asked for another court session – it’s ridiculous. We can’t make an exception for you. There are so many people watching our every move. We can’t accept your offer, even if we were to do so verbally. If people were to catch wind of this, we will most definitely become a laughing stock.”

“Mr Liu, calm down,” Judge Zhao said hurriedly, “This doesn’t mean that there aren’t other ways of resolving this. If someone really dies, Bao Han, you’d be implicated too.”

Xu Baohan rubbed the space between his eyebrows. If a death were to really happen on his watch, he might get demoted or be investigated.

“Judge Zhao, you guys hold him back. I’ll go around the back and drag him out. As for his wife, you guys will definitely need to create a diversion,” Xu Bao Han said decisively.

Su Run grew anxious, “It’s dangerous for the police to investigate the area. You can’t take the risk.”

“Aren’t there firefighters there for support?”

Xu Baohan patted him on the shoulder and said to Zhao Gui, “The matter you’re referring to isn’t one that I can decide on. I’ll ask the director for his opinion. Just wait a moment.”

“Alright, go quickly then. If your director doesn’t agree, I’ll jump,” Zhao Gui said.

After Xu Baohan left, he quickly walked around the side.
