The Underground Emperor: Starting with Running Away with His Sister-in-Law

For Ankhmao and his fellow commoners with no background.

All the officials need to know is the general outline of the matter.

They won't care much at all.

As long as there is evidence to file a lawsuit, or as long as the whole incident is brought to a close and the impact is minimized, that's fine.

Ding Xin, on the other hand, understood the whole affair from God's perspective.

Here.

Cui Mingxi was still engrossed in reading the newspaper.

This is so well written!

This report is filled with references to heroes and their dedication to serving the people.

Deeply moving and touching.

It's as if the South Korean media have all transformed into messengers of justice.

Cui Mingxi knew that this report would cause another uproar. Thinking of this, she looked at Han Chenghe in front of her with a sharp gaze.

"is that you?"

"what?"

Han Seung-hyuk looked completely bewildered.

Choi Myung-hee threw the newspaper directly in front of him.

"Did you release the content of this report?"

At this moment, apart from Han Seung-hyuk, who was as knowledgeable about the case as they were, Choi Myung-hee couldn't think of anyone else who would have such a comprehensive understanding of the whole incident.

Han Seung-hyuk picked up the newspaper on the table and glanced at it briefly.

A feeling of surprise welled up inside me.

Sure enough!

However, he remained outwardly calm and composed.

She clenched her fist and pointed it to the sky, looking completely innocent. "I swear to God, it wasn't me, senior. You know me, how could I possibly do such a thing? That's against professional ethics!"

Cui Mingxi didn't speak, but just stared straight into his eyes.

As a lawyer.

Han Seung-hyuk has always had excellent mental fortitude.

Moreover, the information in the newspaper was not leaked by him at all.

Therefore, he has a clear conscience and feels no guilt whatsoever.

Besides, even if he wanted to leak information, he'd need to know as much as the newspapers did...

Chapter 182 Prevention is better than cure

half an hour.

Choi Myung-hee withdrew her gaze.

"I hope it wasn't you who did it..."

"of course not!"

Han Seung-hyuk spoke with certainty and looked completely at ease.

Then, changing the subject, he asked with an awkward smile, "Um, you see how biased the public opinion is, doesn't that mean...?"

"Humph!"

Cui Mingxi snorted coldly and sneered, "You're dreaming. Although public opinion may have some impact on the investigation, it makes no difference to me."

"Now that things have escalated to such a great extent, the public is waiting for a result, and in a sense, there's no escaping it now."

"We will still file a lawsuit..."

Han Seung-hyuk heard this.

His eyes darkened, and his face became somber.

Cui Mingxi smiled and shook her head: "Disappointed already? You're supposed to be the representative of a law firm now, have you not handled a case in a long time and your professional skills have become rusty?"

That's what I said.

Everything was seen through.

Han Seung-hyuk asked somewhat awkwardly, "So what do you mean?"

"I only said this report wouldn't affect me much, not that it wouldn't affect the court. Take advantage of this momentum and go to the court more often..."

Tch, it's still the same old story.

Han Seung-hyuk couldn't hide his disappointment, but he still nodded knowingly.

He also knew that Cui Mingxi was right.

Public opinion is currently overwhelmingly in favor of the person involved.

It can be said that there are both advantages and disadvantages.

The downside is that if there was even a sliver of hope that the prosecution wouldn't be prosecuted.

That's completely impossible now.

However, relatively speaking, the court's ruling is likely to take into full account the influence of public opinion.

In other words.

There is a high probability that the standard will be lowered further from the existing penalty.

The problem is not big.

However, thinking of his previous promise to Ding Xin, he felt a little flustered.

no way.

This is also a limitation of lawyers; South Korean lawyers mainly rely on personal connections to get things done.

We can only try our best to maneuver within the scope of the law.

Just as the prosecutor has the power to investigate and prosecute a case, the lawyer can only argue based on reason and see if the prosecutor is willing to give face and take responsibility to suppress the case.

The specific judgment rests with the court.

If the Supreme Court justice is rather stubborn, the lawyer's opinion can be disregarded entirely in determining the sentence...

Think of this.

Han Seung-hyuk stopped insisting.

In that case, let's make another trip to the court ahead of time...

......

a few days later.

As public opinion continues to ferment.

The Seoul Western District Prosecutors Office quickly filed a public prosecution with the court.

The court hearing came very quickly.

As a special case, the trial was held publicly just two days after the indictment was filed.

Ding Xin did not go to see it in person.

He already knew the outcome before the trial.

It's basically just going through the motions.

Jiang Dongzhe, An Hemao, and two of Jiang Dongzhe's friends were not found guilty of intentional homicide and assault. Their actions were deemed legitimate self-defense, emergency avoidance, and acts of bravery.

Then there's the unavoidable incident of causing a disturbance at the local police station and damaging public property.

However, the charge of assaulting a police officer was dismissed.

Given the urgency of the situation and the fact that no local police officers were injured.

The court ultimately ordered them to compensate the local police station for property damage and impose a fine of twice the amount.

It's already very light.

But things are a bit more complicated for Cha Tae-sik.

His charges of intentional homicide and assault were also dismissed, and he was found guilty of legitimate self-defense, emergency avoidance, and acting in good faith.

However, he was convicted of assaulting a police officer.

The main problem is that this guy can't defend himself; he's been proven guilty.

Unlike Jiang Dongzhe and his group, at least they explained their situation inside the police station, saying they only made a scene there because they had no other choice.

But what about Cha Tae-sik?
