73: Chapter 73 Qibao's Mother, a Cold and Ruthless Legal Beauty

"Dragged inside? My probe was equipped with plasma counter-thrusters!"

Lin Yun questioned, his voice almost a roar.

His gaze instantly shifted from Lu Wanxing to the holographic screen behind him.

On the screen, the previously stable transmission of the lunar far side images began to shake violently as it passed through that eerie purple portal.

Finally, a giant silver face flashed across the screen before the signal was completely cut off.

"Damn it."

Lin Yun slammed his hand onto the table.

He turned his head to look at Lu Wanxing, who was still reviewing the case files.

The cold and elegant lawyer seemed completely unaffected by the events on the moon, continuing to mark and annotate the list.

"Lawyer Lu, you don't seem surprised at all?"

Lu Wanxing pushed up her black-rimmed glasses without even looking up.

"The moon is 380,000 kilometers away from here; the law can't reach that far for now."

"But the list in front of me is directly related to the legal stability of Dragon Kingdom next week."

"I care more about the rats on the ground than the gods in the sky."

Her voice was cold and aloof, like a precision calculator.

Lin Yun sat back down, his estimation of this woman rising another level.

As expected of an S-rank chosen by the system.

This kind of psychological fortitude—remaining calm even if Mount Tai were to collapse before her—was exactly what he needed right now.

"Lawyer Lu, what if I told you that the power behind that portal is the last hope for these 'rats'?"

Lin Yun pointed at the case files.

"The reason Eagle Nation dared to use the Rod of God isn't because they're crazy, but because someone on the other side of that portal gave them the confidence."

Lu Wanxing's pen paused, and she finally looked up.

A flicker of thought passed through her eyes.

"Are you saying this is an illegal invasion by a higher-dimensional power?"

"If you can prove that, then the nature of this trial will escalate from ordinary treason to crimes against humanity."

Lin Yun smiled.

"That's exactly why I came to you."

"I want you to use the most legal procedures to nail eighteen generations of those public intellectuals' ancestors to the pillar of shame."

"Don't just kill them; break their spirits too."

Lu Wanxing stood up, her black pencil skirt outlining her exquisite yet aggressively sharp curves.

She walked up to Lin Yun, the distance between them less than ten centimeters.

Lin Yun could smell the faint scent of fir on her.

"Mr. Lin Yun, I can help you, but I have three conditions."

"First, I need to examine the underlying architecture of the 'Sky Eye' system; I must ensure there is no technical manipulation in the generation of the chain of evidence."

"Second, the trial process must be fully open; I want legal experts from all over the world to monitor it online."

"Third..."

She paused, and a hint of playfulness appeared in her cold eyes.

"I want to move into your villa."

Lin Yun was stunned.

Xiao Zhang, standing nearby, also gaped, nearly dropping his coffee.

This Lawyer Lu, known as the "Iceberg Judge," was actually requesting to live in Lin Yun's private residence?

Was it also for Lin Shen's so-called "Many Children, Much Fortune"?

Lu Wanxing seemed to see through their thoughts; her expression stiffened slightly before she quickly regained her coldness.

"Don't misunderstand."

"The outside world is full of assassins who want me dead, not to mention the fans of those public intellectuals you've driven mad."

"In this world, only your villa with its plasma shield is safe."

"I haven't lived long enough yet."

Looking at her stubborn gaze, Lin Yun couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.

"Fine."

"Forget a single room; as long as Lawyer Lu is willing to cooperate, the entire villa is yours."

"[Ding! Intimacy between the host and the target has increased.]"},{
