Rebirth of the King of Waves

Chapter 144 Zombie Madness
"Guofeng, are those two bastards you arrested last week still in the detention center?" Di Guofeng asked into the phone, the voice of his superior coming through the receiver.

“Yes, there are still three days until release,” Di Guofeng replied solemnly.

The leader continued, "Can it be finished today?"

Di Guofeng said, "I'm definitely fine on my end, unless Ning Bishu's plane crashes."

"Don't joke like that..." The leader paused for a moment, then said, "My superiors are getting anxious. Let's let the fire burn a little longer, apply a bit more pressure. Can you do that?"

Di Guofeng said solemnly, "I guarantee the mission will be completed!"

"Okay." The other end of the phone hung up.

Di Guofeng paused for a moment, then picked up the phone and dialed another number. "Hello, this is Di Guofeng."

"Is Captain Di looking for me?"

"Hmm, how's the progress with the court?"

"Judging from the timing, both sides should start presenting evidence."

"What does the defendant have to say?"

"Whether there's an explanation or not, it's all the same. This time, we have all the evidence, including physical evidence. No matter what the defendant says, we can rightfully and fairly eliminate it on behalf of justice. And what about your side?"

"stable."

"it is good."

Di Guofeng hung up the phone again, and after a moment, he finally called Ning Bishu.

"Where are you?"

"Airport."

"when's the flight?"

"At 10:20, we should arrive around 2:30 in the afternoon, and it will be a little after 4 pm when we get to the city center."

"It's alright, I'll send a helicopter to pick you up. Just give me your Weibo account and password."

"Ok?"

"Alright, it should be done in a bit, around 10 o'clock. Post another blog post saying that evil will be punished. I'll send you the results of the lawsuit."

"it is good."

"I'll wait for you," Di Guofeng said succinctly before hanging up the phone.

A moment later, he made his fourth call, to a department within the team.

"Prepare a check immediately, the big kind, the kind used for advertising. When Mr. Ning comes to donate later, contact the reporters from the *X-State Daily* and the TV station to come and film him. No need to notify the bureau leaders; I can handle it personally. Have everything ready by 1:30 PM. Don't delay!"

I hung up, thought about it, and then made a fifth call.

"The IT department will arrange for two more people to be on duty tonight; we won't sleep all night. After this mission is completed, I will apply for a commendation for the entire team."

Hang up again, the sixth call...

"Hello, is this X An? This is Di Guofeng from the Municipal Economic Investigation Bureau. We've uncovered several online trolls receiving money from overseas in a cyberbullying case, and we've obtained their identities. Hey, these things need a legitimate reason, right? How about a joint operation?"

"No rush, we'll close the internet cafe tomorrow or the day after..."

Di Guofeng chuckled, put down the phone, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

He exhaled softly.

"call……"

……

"Ugh……"

Two kilometers away, inside the XX local court, the presiding judge on the bench let out a long sigh.

"I didn't! I didn't falsely accuse him! He raped me! It was him! It was him! Ning Bishu raped me! He raped me!" Song Xianxian stood in the dock, shouting hysterically.

The people in the dock were all numb.

Left with no other choice, the two bailiffs first escorted the out-of-control Song Xianxian outside the venue.

Mu Shanming was then able to continue presenting evidence: "Your Honor, this is Song… no, this is Ms. Xiao Taotao's identification information. Her ID card shows that she turned 18 on January 28, 2025, which is Lunar New Year's Eve. My client, Mr. Ning Bishu, met her at 2:00 AM on January 29, 2025." "In other words, when my client met Xiao Taotao, she was already an adult. Furthermore, even if my client and Ms. Xiao Taotao had a relationship, it certainly cannot be considered a violation of a minor's rights."

"Moreover, the relationship between the two people is consensual. I also have some screenshots of the transfers made by my client, Mr. Ning Bishu, to Ms. Xiao Taotao and her mother, Ms. Luan, just last week. I have already printed them out."

In addition, my client, Mr. Ning Bishu, also changed the residence of Xiao Taotao's mother. Currently, Xiao Taotao and Ms. Luan live about 80 meters south of the school where Ms. Xiao Taotao attends.

The monthly rent for the apartment is 7500 yuan, which has been paid entirely by my client, Mr. Ning Bishu, so far. This demonstrates that their relationship is a very normal and purely romantic one.

As Mu Shanming spoke, he turned to look at Guo Chen: "The reason my client, Mr. Ning Bishu, was falsely accused of being a rapist by online trolls was because the defendant's lawyer, Guo Chen, posted photos of Ms. Luan looking for Ms. Xiao Taotao at a hotel on his own Weibo account without authorization. At the time, Ms. Luan was unaware of the romantic relationship between Xiao Taotao and Ning Bishu, so she was somewhat agitated."

It was her emotional outburst that misled netizens. I was also present at the time, with Attorney Guo, just outside the room. I can personally testify that Mr. Ning Bishu was falsely accused of rape starting on the evening of February 1, 2025, and lasting for approximately three days. The rumors only gradually subsided after Mr. Ning Bishu posted a video of his date with Ms. Xiao Taotao online.

The video is on this USB drive. I also have the forensic report from lawyer Guo Chen, who was the first to release the photos, and from defendant Song Xianxian, who was the first to expose Ning Bishu's family situation. This report was jointly issued by the Internet Public Opinion Appraisal Department of the X Prefecture XX Bureau and the X Weibo platform, and has full legal validity.

Mu Shanming handed over the USB drive and a bunch of materials.

The video was then played in court.

As soon as the beautifully edited footage of Xiao Taotao, created by two college students, appeared on screen, the few people present all exclaimed "Wow!" The presiding judge coughed awkwardly and said, "Please keep quiet."

Mu Shanming remained silent, his expression darkening slightly as he watched Xiao Taotao and Ning Bishu's intimate moment on the screen. Guo Chen, meanwhile, couldn't help but lick his lips, his eyes filled with longing, yet also with an involuntary, gnashing of jealousy towards Ning Bishu.

Outside, Song Xianxian was still screaming madly, "He raped me! He raped me! Ning Bishu raped me!!"

The presiding judge frowned, ignoring the sounds outside, and after seemingly scrutinizing the evidence for five minutes, nodded. "The plaintiff's evidence is valid. And the defendant, what evidence do you have?"

"I..." Guo Chen snapped out of his daze. Even though he had nothing in his hands, he straightened his back. Hearing Song Xianxian's voice still calling from outside, he seemed to hear his own background music playing. He declared loudly, "Your Honor, according to Article XX of the XX Law, the key to determining whether a woman has been violated lies in the woman's intent at the time. My client, Song Xianxian, has repeatedly emphasized that she has no feelings for the plaintiff, Ning Bishu. This is the strongest evidence!"

Furthermore, we maintain that Ms. Song Xianxian was merely a passerby online and happened to post some normal comments on the internet that she made at the time due to emotional reasons, which does not meet the standard of defamation at all.

Furthermore, the information Ms. Song Xianxian revealed regarding the plaintiff Ning Bishu's family situation was neither exaggerated nor distorted; it was objective and clear. Ms. Song Xianxian, as Ning Bishu's colleague, was already aware of this information. Therefore, Ms. Song Xianxian's online discussions of related matters do not constitute an invasion of privacy.
Moreover, Mr. Ning Bishu's covetousness towards my client, Ms. Song Xianxian, extended from offline to online. Even after becoming rich overnight, Mr. Ning Bishu still couldn't forget Ms. Song Xianxian.

To this end, they did not hesitate to incite public opinion online and even sue Ms. Song Xianxian. Their purpose was simply to attract Ms. Song Xianxian's attention, or even to maliciously force Ms. Song Xianxian to comply!
Therefore, we demand that the plaintiff, Ning Bishu, immediately withdraw his lawsuit against us, and that the XX Bureau of X Prefecture immediately drop the case. We also demand that both parties apologize to my client, Ms. Song Xianxian, and compensate her for emotional distress. Furthermore, we will report the case to the XX Bureau of X Prefecture, accusing the plaintiff, Ning Bishu, of raping my client, Ms. Song Xianxian! Ning Bishu must pay the legal price for his actions!
"Your Honor, I believe the most important aspect of the law is protecting the weak from the oppression of the powerful. In today's society, Ning Bishu abuses his power and uses money to pave the way. If my client, Ms. Song Xianxian, loses the case, it will be a disgrace to modern law and an indelible stain on the X Prefecture's local judicial system!"

These impassioned words caused Song Xianxian's parents, who were in the audience, to excitedly clasp their hands together.

Stable! Stable!
That's so well said!
It's like filming a movie!

Even Ning Qian's colleagues, who were sitting not far away, couldn't help but smile.

"My grass..."

That hat is way too big.

But the problem is...

"So you have no evidence to submit? No proof, just your word, is that it?"

The presiding judge looked at Guo Chen as if he were an idiot.

Guo Chen hurriedly explained, "Your Honor, according to..."

"Stop. This is not your turn to speak. I'll ask you a question, and then you can answer it."

The presiding judge, with a stern face, stopped Guo Chen from speaking and said calmly, "After talking for so long, what you mean is that although you have no evidence, you and your client simply do not admit to any of the charges brought against you by the plaintiff."
And even if you have no evidence, you still want to sue the plaintiff for raping your client, even though there's no evidence for that rape either. Furthermore, you want the XX Bureau of X State to apologize to you, drop the case, and compensate you, is that right?

Guo Chen immediately said, "That's not how it works! We have evidence! My client's wishes are evidence in themselves! Listen!"

"Ah~~!"

"Ah~~!"

"He raped me! Ning Bishu raped me!!"

Song Xianxian was yelling outside like a zombie.

"Damn it!" a bailiff outside suddenly cried out in pain.

Everyone turned to look outside.

Then the bailiff, looking utterly bewildered, pushed open the door and entered, raising his right hand to report to the presiding judge: "Your Honor, the defendant's mental state is extremely unstable; look, she bit my hand!"

Everyone looked up and could clearly see a distinct tooth mark on the bailiff's hand, dripping with blood.

Outside, Song Xianxian followed closely behind, leaning on her crutch, her hair disheveled, she lay on the ground and rolled around frantically: "Ning Bishu raped me! Ning Bishu raped me! Ning Bishu raped me! Aaaaaaahh ...
