When Chu Changge arrived at the entrance of Gu Mian's courtroom, he was met with a chaotic scene.
Gu Mian was holding aloft the small mallet unique to a judge, looking as if he was about to deliver a verdict.
Keke clung tightly to his arm, trying to prevent him from getting too agitated.
Xie Bi'an sat to one side, looking up at Gu Mian, a mocking smile seemingly hidden beneath his black robe.
Another unfamiliar female player stood with her hands braced on the table, apparently considering whether to grab Gu Mian around the waist.
The judge's bench was in turmoil, yet the prisoner sat quietly behind a table, seemingly indifferent to their judgment.
Just as Gu Mian raised the mallet to nudge Keke aside, he heard Chu Changge's voice from behind him. "What are you all doing?"
He turned to look and saw Chu Changge, who had somehow appeared by the small door next to the judge's bench, silently observing them.
