The security guards and the Attorney General came over hurriedly before long. They were all startled to see the bloodstained bricks inside the box.
It was not the first time the Attorney General had seen such attacks, but it was certainly the first for it to happen right in court. After asking Huo Tingrui if he was injured, he instructed someone to check the surveillance footage and sealed all the exits of the court.
They had to find the culprit.
After waiting at the lounge for 20 minutes, the captain of the security team came over.
Sadly, they were unable to locate the culprit.
It seemed as though the man had appeared out of thin air.
The police department sent a member of the special task force over to retrieve the box of bricks to check for fingerprints.
After the police left, the Attorney General looked at Huo Tingrui sternly in concern.
“Mr. Huo, don’t worry. Since this has happened at the Supreme Court, we will definitely investigate carefully and give a clarification for the matter.”
After all, they were at the Supreme Court. The fact that this could have happened was a joke to begin with. If anyone found out, what would people say about the sanctity of the Supreme Court? It would be no different than living in a lawless society.
Moreover, Huo Tingrui was a famous lawyer. He had come at the recommendation of the new Deputy Director Fang to become a prosecutor. Just for this alone, the Attorney General had to pay extra attention to this matter even if he was just pretending.
Huo Tingrui looked at him and nodded gently without saying anything more. Since they were all involved in the field of law, everyone was aware of the implications even without exchanging any words.
Before long, Huo Tingrui and his assistant walked out of court.
After Huo Tingrui’s assistant left to get the car, he stood on the steps waiting for his assistant.
Meanwhile, a few people walked out of the court’s side entrance. Huo Tingrui raised his head and looked over.
The Attorney General from the Justice Department was walking in the lead and was speaking to a man walking beside him. The moment Huo Tingrui looked at the man, the person instantly detected someone looking at him and raised his head to look over as well.
Since they were some distance apart, it was impossible for Huo Tingrui to make out his features. He could only see the man suddenly raising his hand in mid-air and making a gesture.
He wanted to shoot him.
The man was particularly arrogant.
Huo Tingrui narrowed his eyes.
The assistant had already come back with the car. After pulling up, he hurriedly got out of the car and opened the back seat door. When he noticed his boss looking somewhere, he automatically looked in the same direction.
However, all he could see was the side views of some passersby, so he did not know exactly who Huo Tingrui was staring at.
“Boss?” asked the assistant quizzically.
Huo Tingrui veered his eyes and replied mildly. “Nothing. Let’s go.”
The moment he finished his sentence, he bent over and got into the back seat.
The assistant scratched his head before closing the car door without asking further. He got into the driver’s seat and started the car engine. Just as he was about to start the car, he raised his head, glanced into the rearview mirror, and asked. “Boss, how are you feeling? Shall we go to the hospital?”
Despite not being around to see the entire attack, the assistant reckoned that Huo Tingrui ought to be hurt.
Huo Tingrui rubbed his forehead. Moments later, he finally said, “I am fine. Let’s go straight to the clubhouse.”
Fang Chen had asked him out for dinner today.
Since Huo Tingrui’s assistant knew his boss’s personality well, he did not try to convince him otherwise. He simply turned on the GPS and searched for the clubhouse.
“Oh yes. Don’t tell anyone about the incident,” said Huo Tingrui suddenly with his face slightly pale as he looked out of the car window.
His assistant glanced at the mirror before he sighed and nodded. “Uh huh.. I understand.”
