8:30 AM.
Dongfang Capital City Court.
Judge Chen adjusted his appearance and stepped out of his office.
Outside, his clerk Li Qinghua had been waiting for some time.
"Judge Chen, here is the law robe you asked me to prepare!"
The latter handed over a freshly-ironed, new law robe, which Judge Chen promptly took.
"Just in time, there are 30 minutes left before the court session starts, right?"
"Yes!"
Li Qinghua, ever loyal and diligent, reported on the time.
Judge Chen nodded, and a smile appeared on his usually stern face.
Because today… he had no cases to preside over!
Judge Chen, smiling, knocked on the door of the office next door.
"Old Wang, I had Qing Hua wash and iron the robe for you, you've got 30 minutes till the court session starts. Hurry up!"
The door to the neighboring office opened, and Judge Old Wang, with dark circles under his eyes and moving lethargically, came out.
