Zhou Er, Court Day.
"This court now announces, the case where the Procuratorate Headquarters and the Financial Bureau are suing the defendant Zhan Qingze for a financial fraud of 20 billion is now beginning its first formal hearing!"
As Old Chen on the judges' bench declared, the trial began.
On the defense bench, Zhang Wei sat calmly, with the defendant Zhan Qingze on his right and his assistant-cum-bodyguard Xia Qianyue on his left.
On the opposite prosecutor's bench sat the lead prosecutor Zhao Chunming and the secondary prosecutor-cum-assistant Tan Yingying.
The most critical was the witness bench; aside from a group from the Procuratorate Headquarters, there was also a group from the Financial Bureau, and even team leader Chen Weitian was seated among the prosecutor's witnesses.
Of course, what Zhang Wei focused on was not these two groups, but Qian Moli, who had staged an act on Lisa's Talk show just yesterday.
