His car continued to meander over all the vehicles that were in that morning. He and Yuli must hurry to return to court as soon as possible.
Yuli felt pity when she saw Christ. Christ only held his neck and head behind him as he drove.
Yuli took out a lacquer cloth and wiped the sweat on Christ's face. Christ dodged when Yuli pulled out a lacquer cloth and stuck it on her back neck.
Christ finally smiled a little. He was very happy to get the attention and affection from Yuli. Christ never got that kind of affection again, when he was abandoned by his mother.
“Today, you don't have to thank me. I just want my employees to come to the hearing.
Yuli grunts. He was still wiping away Christ's sweat and lips that were slightly bleeding. “Of course I won't thank you, I was kidnapped because of you.
I should have said that. You don't have to apologize to me. Besides, you saved me,” he replied.
“Do you think I'll let them hurt me? Of course not. I will repay them, even if my life is taken. I would never let them hurt me or do anything weird to me.”
Christ smiled broadly. Sometimes he turned his head and looked at Yuli with a meaningful gaze.
She is desperate to protect Yuli, and does not want Yuli to suffer the same fate as her late mother.
“Wah, what is that look? Why are you looking at me like that?” ask Yuli.
“From now on, this fight belongs to both of us.”
“Fight? You mean, trial?”
Yuli pulled the lacquer cloth that was already full of blood, then turned it over, using the other side of the cloth, to wipe away Christ's blood. “Good. We must rush to the court before it's too late.”

“Judge Lusi enters the room. Ladies and gentlemen are expected to stand!”
In the courtroom, everyone had gathered and stood up as the moderator began to give out cues.
“Please sit back.”
Gun is sitting next to Jono to replace Christ temporarily. So did Jono who wondered, why not Christ who was next to him?
“Before, I have heard that the Defendant has changed lawyers, so, is it true that you are a Christiano Lawyer?” Luci looked at Gun who was sitting next to Jono.
“Your Highness Judge, sorry in advance. He is not his lawyer,” exclaimed Attorney Sri, standing on the spot. “Lawyer Christianto leaves court before trial begins.”
“Do you see where he went?” ask Lusi.
“Entahlah, but it seems, in looks panicked and in a hurry to leave the court,” explained Sri.
Lusi smiled cynically, asking Gun, “Where is Attorney Christiano?”
“So like this, Ms. Judge...”.
“Why are you sitting there?” cut Lusi.
“I am the personal assistant of Christianto's Lawyer, Miss Judge,” Gun replied confidently.
Lusi scrunched his forehead. “Not only is Christianto's lawyer defending the defendant? Why isn't he here, and instead replaces him with his personal assistant?”
“So, look, Mrs Judge. I was just selected to be his assistant because..”.
“Founded!” Not finished Gun's speech, Lusi again cut his explanation.
“Yes, Your Honor Judge,” replied Jono.
“What is really said by him? Is he assistant to Attorney Christiano?”
Jono dyed like a fool. He doesn't know what to answer. Gun accidentally stomps on Jono's foot so he understands what to say.
“Yes, right, Miss Judge. He said right.” Jono.
“Article 112 Law on the code of conduct of lawyers reads ‘pretending to be a lawyer is a felony’ you know it, right?” ask Sri. He stepped closer to Gun and looked at her seriously.
