    Chapter 42: His Sister.

    The highly publicized chemical plant and City Central Hospital explosion case finally went to trial in court half a month after the winter vacation ended.

    Early in the morning, the courthouse entrance was bustling with people.

    Shu Lin and Shu Jingcheng passed through security and entered the solemn courtroom hall.

    Shu Lin had specially worn a dark suit today, making him look particularly formal.

    To watch his sister Shu Lingxiao’s court appearance, he skipped class today and took a leave of absence.

    This case was being publicly tried, with the media broadcasting the entire process. His sister, as the prosecutor, was to appear before the public and show her brilliance.

    Shu Lin was more excited than anyone.

    Entering the courtroom, Shu Lin and Shu Jingcheng had just sat down in the audience when another person sat down next to them.

    Turning his head, he saw it was Shao Shiyan.

    Shu Lin asked in surprise, “Why are you here too?”

    “Why can’t I be here? I also want to see the peerless elegance of Sister Lingxiao.” Saying this, he gave Shu Jingcheng a flattering smile, “Uncle, hello.”

    Shu Jingcheng was also familiar with Shao Shiyan. Seeing that his outfit today was different from his usual casual and lazy style, he sized him up and smiled, “Shiyan, you look very energetic in this black suit today, it makes you look even more handsome.”

    Shao Shiyan said happily, “Thank you for the compliment, Uncle. If Uncle likes it, I’ll wear it like this from now on.”

    Shu Jingcheng was taken aback, “That’s not necessary. You’re studying music, you need to have your own personality. Just wear whatever style you like. I let my little Lin wear whatever he wants, but he’s still young and good-looking, so he looks good in anything. Don’t blindly copy him, you won’t achieve his effect.”

    Shao Shiyan: “…”

    Shu Lin chuckled, pretending not to see it.

    Before long, Shu Lingxiao walked into the courtroom as a prosecutor.

    She was tall and slender, and her black business attire was well-tailored, outlining her slender figure.

    Her steps were steady and powerful, and her high heels made crisp sounds on the floor, as if each step was stepping on the hearts of everyone present.

    After taking her seat, her expression was stern, and her eyes were like torches, scanning the hall.

    The people present were attracted to her and began to whisper.

    “She is the lead prosecutor in this explosion case. She’s so capable at such a young age, no wonder she’s a female Alpha.”

    “Isn’t that right? Look at her aura, it’s even more Alpha than an Alpha. She’s a top student who graduated from a prestigious law school, very impressive.”

    “I heard that she’s only twenty-seven and already the head of the public prosecution department of the municipal procuratorate. If she handles this case well, she will definitely be promoted again.”

    “Internal news, after this case is over, she will be transferred to the anti-corruption bureau.”

    “Really? That’s amazing. I heard she’s not married yet, I wonder if she likes male Omegas or female Omegas.”

    “Well…she’s beautiful and handsome, I think a female Omega is more suitable for her, haha…”

    Shao Shiyan’s fist clenched instantly.

    Nonsense, Sister doesn’t like female Omegas! Sister likes male Omegas like him!

    He didn’t care, he must catch up with Sister.

    His sister is his.

    In order to be worthy of his sister, he would work hard to become the next chairman of the Shao Group.

    The last time Shao Chengxi brought Shu Lingxiao to the Shao Residence, he talked to Shao Chengxi about this matter.

    As soon as the study door closed, he told Shao Chengxi that he liked Shu Lingxiao and wanted to pursue her.

    This surprised Shao Chengxi.

    Instinctively, he frowned and said, “Shiyan, let alone whether you can catch up with her. She is Shu Lin’s sister, with this relationship, there will be many problems.”

    Shao Shiyan said seriously:

    “I know, so I’m telling you in advance, Second Brother. I just like her, no, I should say, I’m fascinated by her, I must have her.”

    “Second Brother, I will work hard to become the next chairman of the Shao Group and support you in your move towards the presidency. But please allow and help me pursue Sister Lingxiao.”

    Shao Chengxi was silent for a moment, a trace of complexity flashing in his eyes.

    Finally, he nodded: “Who you pursue and who you like are your freedom, Second Brother has no right to interfere. Shu Lingxiao is not an ordinary person, if you want to pursue her, you have to show real skill.”

    Shao Shiyan nodded happily, “With Second Brother’s support and help, I will definitely succeed. By the way, later, Second Brother, remember to help me persuade Father together.”

    Later, they also called Shao Bingheng over.

    As a result, Shao Bingheng was furious when he heard this.

    “Nonsense! She is Shu Lin’s sister, don’t you know? Our family already has a marriage that is not well-matched, and if there is another marriage like this, what will others say about our Shao family?! No way!”

    Shao Shiyan did not back down.

    He said that if he didn’t agree, he would not be the chairman of the Shao Group, and he would publicize his elder brother Shao Yuanheng’s pheromone imbalance disorder.

    He accidentally overheard this secret from Shao Bingheng.

    Therefore, he was not surprised when Shao Bingheng said he was going to replace Shao Yuanheng.

    Shao Shiyan only knew that Shao Yuanheng’s successor qualification was revoked because of this disease, and did not know that he had tried to violate Shu Lin.

    Shao Chengxi and Shao Bingheng decided not to tell Shao Shiyan after discussing.

    Hearing that Shao Shiyan dared to threaten him, Shao Bingheng was so angry that he almost went up to beat him.

    Shao Chengxi stopped him in time.

    Shao Chengxi reminded him in a low voice: “Father, it is still unknown whether Shiyan can catch up with Shu Lingxiao, she may not accept him, why bother with him now, you should agree first to solve the immediate problem. Perhaps, later, he will not be able to catch up with her, and he will give up on his own.”

    Shao Bingheng thought this was right, and after weighing the pros and cons, he said: “Okay, I promise you. But you must remember, don’t pester her if you can’t catch up.”

    Shao Shiyan showed a victorious smile: “Don’t worry, I will definitely catch her.”

    He finally got this opportunity, and he will definitely not give up.

    At this moment, Shao Shiyan sat in the audience of the court, his eyes following Shu Lingxiao, full of admiration and admiration.

    He murmured in a low voice, “Sister is so radiant.”

    Sister Lingxiao, I will definitely catch up with you.

    I will work hard to become someone who can stand next to you, you believe me.

    He secretly vowed in his heart.

    The collegial panel of the court entered the court, and the presiding judge, with a solemn expression, struck the gavel.

    “The court is now in session, all rise!”

    The trial began.

    Shu Lingxiao sat in the prosecutor’s seat, her eyes sweeping across the audience.

    She clearly felt the gazes and discussions of the crowd, but she didn’t care.

    Her attention was completely focused on the case, not letting go of any detail.

    The entire trial scene was very tense. The defense lawyer hired by the defendant was a very famous criminal defense lawyer in the empire, and it was obvious that he had made full preparations.

    The prosecution and defense clashed fiercely, with constant highlights.

    Shu Lingxiao remained calm in the face of danger, responding wittily, leaving a very deep impression.

    After listening for more than two hours in a row, when it was the defendant’s turn to present evidence, Shu Lin took the time to go to the bathroom.

    He asked Shao Shiyan if he was going, but Shao Shiyan was watching something so intently that he didn’t even speak, he just shook his head.

    So Shu Lin went by himself.

    The security at the court today was very good, and people who had not been verified and registered could not enter.

    He was the only one in the bathroom. After he finished urinating, he was washing his hands when someone suddenly covered his mouth from behind.

    “Help…”
