Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

In the end, the ones who suffered were not only her good grandson but also her daughter, so this time Dai Yin unconditionally supported Grandma Jiang, and she also hoped that her daughter could be by her side.

"But………"

"Nan Sun!"

Seeing Jiang Nansun was about to refuse again, Han Tao interrupted her and held her hand, saying:

"I think grandma and auntie are right. You and Suosuo should move back in two months. You can stay at home for the month of waiting for the birth and the confinement period. That way I'll feel more at ease."

"Yes, Nansun, I have never had any family to take care of me since I was a child. Recently, my aunt has been busy with the renovations and arranging Jiaming's wedding, so she has no time.

This is our first time having a baby, and honestly, I'm a little scared too. If grandma and aunt are around, we'll feel more at ease."

"Oh well!"

Jiang Nansun looked at Zhu Suosuo and saw that her best friend nodded in agreement. After thinking about it, she also agreed.

However, when Dai Yin heard Han Tao still calling her "Auntie", she pretended to be displeased and said, "Xiao Han, you and Nansun have come to this point, are you still calling me Auntie?"

Hearing this, Han Tao glanced at Jiang Nansun's mother, Dai Yin, and knowing her worry, he called out, "Mom!"

"Hey...that's right!"

Dai Yin nodded in satisfaction, his face full of joy. Grandma Jiang and Jiang Pengfei beside him were also extremely happy. Although the two of them had not obtained a marriage certificate, this change of words meant that they would be a real family from now on.

........................

"Jingle Bell…………"

Just when Jiang Pengfei was planning to strike while the iron was hot and experience how his father-in-law felt about him, Han Tao's phone rang, and the caller ID showed that it was his assistant Qin Shi.

Han Tao said something to a few people and walked out the door. As soon as he got through, he said, "Boss, I'm ready and can leave at any time. I've already arranged a location with Lucky and Wang Chao. Do you have any other instructions?"

After hearing Qin Shi's words, Han Tao thought for a moment and said, "Lucky things can be big or small, and she and her sister He Xingfu have never had anyone to support them since they were young, so they are used to accepting everything.

So when you get there, talk to them first and tell them not to let the village social conventions influence their judgment. You need to strike a good balance based on the specific situation.

But you must remember one thing: my apprentice, Han Tao, was bullied, and those scumbags must be severely punished. Anyone who tries to prevent them from being punished by law will also be brought to justice, as long as their background is not clean."

"Understand, this is a criminal offense and no out-of-court settlement will be accepted!"

Qin Shi nodded on the other end of the phone. Before Han Tao arranged for her to go, he had already discussed it with her, including some plans for Linjiang Province, so she nodded:

"Wan Chuanjia and others used violence, coercion, or other means to force indecent assault on others, which constitutes a crime. Furthermore, they gathered a group and committed the crime in public, at a wedding. The circumstances are extremely egregious. According to Article 237 of the Criminal Law, they are subject to a minimum prison sentence of five years."

"Well, just keep it in mind. If you encounter any difficult problems, don't worry, just call me anytime. Be safe on the road."

Han Tao was satisfied with Qin Shi's answer, especially her criteria for classifying this case. After all, there are substantial differences between criminal cases and civil cases.

Under normal circumstances, if anyone uses violence, coercion or other means to forcibly molest others or insult women, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention.

However, if the crime in the preceding paragraph is committed by a group of people or in a public place, or if there are other serious circumstances, the offender shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years.

Therefore, this crime of gathering a crowd or committing a crime in public in a public place falls under the circumstances where the statutory penalty for this crime is upgraded. If the above circumstances exist, the starting point of the sentence for this crime will be directly upgraded to a minimum of five years.

.....................

Chapter 661 What a Lucky Change

After hanging up Qin Shi's call, Han Tao called He Xingyun again, one to understand the current situation, and the other to give her reassurance.

At this time, He Xingyun had just finished the appraisal and received a call from Han Tao. In addition to being moved and relieved, he also felt a little aggrieved and confused.

She felt very guilty when she learned that her sister's marriage might be ruined because of her, so she talked a lot to Han Tao, hoping that Han Tao would give her some advice.

If Han Tao hadn't called, she would have chosen to keep quiet for the sake of her sister He Xingfu's marriage and her sister's future life in Wanjia Village. Because in their hometown, worshipping heaven and earth is considered a marriage, and if they break up, her sister will be getting married for the second time.

However, with Han Tao's analysis and guidance, He Xingyun finally made up his mind to seek justice. He also agreed to cooperate with Qin Shi to go to the Public Security Bureau to file a case, accusing Wan Chuanjia of forced molestation of women, and this case will officially enter the public security investigation stage.

Things have come to this point. Even if Wan Shantang uses his connections or even goes to plead in person, the case will not be settled or withdrawn, because the crime of forced molestation is a violent crime and is a criminal prosecution case.

Once the public security organs have opened a case for investigation and believe that there is sufficient evidence and a crime is suspected, they will immediately submit it to the procuratorate for review and prosecution, which will then prosecute it in the people's court.

Therefore, as long as the legal procedure of a public prosecution case begins, the victim has no right to withdraw the case.

Of course, this does not mean that criminal prosecution cannot be withdrawn, but the entity with the right to withdraw a case is not the victim, but the public security organs, procuratorate, national security organs and other state public power organs.

Therefore, the above-mentioned agencies can only withdraw the case if they find during the investigation process that the criminal suspect should not be held criminally responsible, and it meets one of the circumstances stipulated in Article 16 of the Criminal Procedure Law, or the special circumstances for withdrawing the case under Article 182 of the Criminal Procedure Law.

However, for criminal prosecution cases, even if Wan Shantang and He Xingyun reached a compensation settlement agreement, they have no right to request the withdrawal of the case.

What's more, Wan Chuanjia and others gathered a crowd to commit forced indecent acts against He Xingyun, which is an aggravated circumstance of the crime of forced indecent assault. According to the law, they are subject to imprisonment of more than five years and do not fall into the category of misdemeanors.

Even though Wan Chuanjia and others denied it from beginning to end, the wedding disturbance they mentioned still constituted the act of gathering and forcibly molesting women.

In addition, the legal effect of criminal reconciliation is completely different from that of mediation in civil cases. If a reconciliation is reached during the investigation stage, the public security organs can also make recommendations to the People's Procuratorate for lenient treatment.

Therefore, in criminal public prosecution cases, even if the two parties reach a settlement agreement, this cannot be used to dismiss the case. Instead, it is an important consideration for the procuratorate and the court to decide whether to prosecute the criminal suspect or defendant and whether to impose a lighter sentence.

This is why Han Tao defined the matter in advance. The powerful cannot do whatever they want with their wealth and status. Women who have suffered illegal infringements like He Xingyun, as long as they stand up firmly and actively seek legal weapons to protect their rights and interests, the law will fully protect the victims' right to accuse and participate in litigation.

Because this type of criminal behavior not only infringes upon the rights and interests of a single victim, but also hurts the public's sense of the rule of law. Without intervention under special circumstances, the public security, procuratorial and judicial departments will never tolerate it.

After arranging the case, Han Tao smiled slightly and continued, "As for your sister and mother, if they are willing, I can arrange for them to work in the law firm. Given your aunt's age, she can at least work as a cleaner or help in the cafeteria.

Your sister, too, can find work in logistics or administration after training. You don't have to be embarrassed. As long as you study hard, becoming a good lawyer is better than anything else!"

Hearing Han Tao's words, He Xingyun responded excitedly, "Thank you... Thank you, Master. I'm lucky to be able to study with you. I will study hard and become a qualified lawyer. I won't bring shame to you!"

Hearing He Xingyun's nervous tone, Han Tao smiled and said directly, "I believe you. From now on, you must cheer up and cooperate with Lawyer Qin and yourself to seek justice. Never forget that a lawyer's most powerful weapon is the law!"

"Okay, Mr. Han, I know what to do!"

He Xingyun nodded happily that his sister and mother could be arranged to work in the law firm, and then he cheered up and thought about what he should do next.

Han Tao was also very satisfied with the development of the matter. According to the original plot, He Xingfu was bullied by Wan Chuanjia and others. In desperation, He Xingfu injured the leader, who was the son of the village party secretary.

After that, not only did her husband's family not help them, they also blamed them for causing trouble and asked He Xingfu to take her sister back to her parents' home to hide for a few days. Finally, under pressure, He Xingfu went to work in the city.

However, her younger sister He Xingyun, a girl who graduated from law school, did not use legal weapons to protect herself after being wronged. Instead, she endured it in silence because of the influence she had received since childhood and her inner guilt.

Of course, from another perspective, he could also understand that He Xingyun’s ability to go to college was inseparable from the efforts of his family.

In order to allow her sister to study, He Xingfu chose to earn money to support the family after graduating from junior high school. Later, after her sister graduated from university, she chose to find someone to get married.

If it weren't for her younger sister He Xingfu's sacrifice, He Xingyun would not have been able to go to college. So she always felt that she owed her sister. She was afraid that if the matter got out of hand, He Xingfu would have difficulty taking a step forward in her husband's family, so she chose to bear it alone.

But now that Han Tao is here, and she has become his apprentice by chance, Han Tao will not let things develop according to the original plot.

In addition to being a way to pry open Linjiang Province, Han Tao also plans to use this case as promotional material to enhance the law firm's visibility and influence.

Of course, it is also to remind other girls that if they encounter such things, they must use the law to protect themselves. Swallowing anger in silence will only make the evil people more rampant.

.....................

However, there is still a hurdle that He Xingyun needs to overcome on her own. That is her boyfriend Daxun. Because he heard his girlfriend being insulted by Wan Chuanjia and others on the phone, he thinks that He Xingyun is not clean and doesn't want her anymore.

Sure enough, accompanied by Qin Shi, her sister He Xingfu, Wang Chao and others, He Xingyun returned to the hotel and called Daxun again. Instead of comforting her, the other party asked her what happened that day and where they touched her.

He Xingyun knew what her boyfriend wanted to ask, so she explained truthfully, telling him the details and saying that she had been rescued.

But Daxun didn't care about these things. Instead, he kept asking He Xingyun how weddings were played out in the countryside, and why these people only played tricks on He Xingyun and not on others?

Then, without waiting for He Xingyun to explain, he told her to break up because his parents already knew about it and we have many relatives and friends. If the news gets out, it will be difficult for the whole family. Then he hung up the phone.

This made He Xingyun, who was already sad, even more devastated, and her spirits, which had been cheering up, became weak again. Fortunately, her sister He Xingfu was there to comfort her, and with the guidance of Qin Shi, an independent and strong woman, she was able to completely stabilize her emotions.

It also made He Xingyun see clearly the character of her boyfriend Daxun. Not only is he a scumbag, not only does he not care about her at all, but he also took advantage of her misfortune and broke up with her. He is also a mama's boy. It is a good thing to break up with such a man as soon as possible.

.....................

Chapter 662: Wanshan Hall is regulated

In Qingxi Town, Ningcheng City, Linjiang Province, Wan Shantang and Li Gongan were sitting opposite Liang Fei. The three were discussing the issue of Wan Chuanjia being arrested.

"Old Li, it's not that I don't give you and Old Wan face, but it's mainly because Director Yang gave the order himself, and I really can't compromise.

And to be honest with you, Lao Wan, this matter has alarmed Deputy Director Wang in the city, and I can't help you anymore!"

"Has this matter alarmed the city?"

Upon hearing this, Wan Shantang's brain buzzed and he felt like he was struck by lightning. He didn't expect that this matter would alarm Yang Jian from the county bureau and the leaders of the city.

However, he only has this one son, and he has spoiled him since he was a child. Wan Shantang could only bite the bullet and look at Liang Fei and say:

"Actually, these are just young people playing around, and they drank too much and didn't pay attention to their behavior. Didn't they get beaten up by the Chuan family and the young men in the village? What else do they want?

Besides, Lao Liang, what kind of friendship do we have? We grew up together as childhood friends. I only have this one son. I will help you think of a solution no matter what you say. If it really doesn’t work…”

"I think you are getting more and more confused!"

Before Liang Fei could speak, Li Gongan interrupted Wan Shantang and said with a cold face: "Old Wan, your son, I have long told you to take care of him, but you just don't take it seriously.

Now that something's happened, you're worried. Don't you know what he did? He brought four or five young men to bully a little girl, even tearing her clothes. Do you think they were just joking?

Do you understand that this is forced molestation? Moreover, it happened in a public place with the whole village attending a wedding banquet, and it was done by a group of people. This behavior is extremely bad.

So I don't agree with your idea. Although we have been friends for many years, and often the law is nothing more than a request, but in this situation today, the law is more important than emotion!"

"Old Li..."

Wan Shantang looked at his old friend in surprise. To be honest, he had never seen Li Gongan speak so righteously, so he changed his tone and said:

"I know that this family inheritance thing is a mess, but I have no choice. The child has been without a mother since childhood. In order to help the villagers get rid of the label of poverty and let everyone live a good life, I have devoted myself to work. I can only take care of everyone, but not my own family!

Otherwise, I wouldn't have neglected to discipline the two brothers and sisters of the Fu Chuanjia family. Now that this has happened, I'm not doing it all for myself. Without the Chuanjia family, there's no one to manage the group. Now the workshops are all shut down, and the villagers rely on this job to make a living."

Li Gongan looked at Wan Shantang, pondered for a long time and sighed: "Old Wan, it's not that Old Liang and I don't want to help you. The evidence is solid, and the other party has connections in the city. The Chuan family will inevitably be imprisoned this time!"

"What should I do?"

Wan Shantang looked at his two childhood friends, sighed, and then pleaded helplessly, "Lao Li, Lao Liang, I do have some responsibility for the current state of our family. No... I should say I have the main responsibility, so I promise that I will never indulge them again.

"See if there's any other solution, even if it means sacrificing my reputation or even the Wanjia Group...as long as we can save the Chuanjia family, you understand what I mean!"

At this time, Wan Shantang also realized his problem. In fact, Li Gongan had reminded him a long time ago to be stricter with Wan Chuanjia, otherwise he would get into trouble sooner or later, but he didn't care at that time.

Although Liang Fei was under pressure, he felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Wan Shantang's anxiety. After all, they were old friends for more than ten years, so he looked up and said:

"Old Wan, there's actually some room for maneuver in this matter. After all, this concerns the livelihood of a village. Don't forget anyone!"

After saying that, Liang Fei pointed upwards and reminded Wan Shantang and the other two that they also had connections in the city and held important positions.

Public Security Li also nodded: "Yes, he will definitely help. Although it is hard to say whether he will be acquitted, a sentence reduction or detention should be no problem."

"Lao Liang, all the police stations under the Municipal Bureau are under the leadership of their superiors. Who can command Yang Jian? Or will Deputy Director Wang, who is behind him, give him face?"

"Old Wan, you're confused about this. Whether it's the county or municipal bureau, they're all under the dual leadership of the local government and the higher authorities. Which one is responsible for supervising political and legal work? Do you think he can do it?

I think we can give it a try, there is no loss, but you need to come up with a charter in advance. Young Master Liu has been eyeing the remaining shares of Wanjia Group for a long time.

As for the village, you can't relax either. You should do more work with the villagers and strive to achieve a two-pronged approach. This way, you can also get Chuanjia out sooner."

Hearing this, Wan Shantang was still a little confused, so he looked at Liang Fei in confusion and asked directly: "Old Liang, what do you mean by this? As long as anyone is willing to help, I will accept the conditions of Liu Ershao, but what can the village do to help?"

"Why can't I help? As long as you can get the victim, Wang Youde's new wife, to persuade her sister to write you a letter of understanding, saying that she will not pursue the family heirloom, then that person can come forward to mediate, and as long as there is no prosecution, everything will be fine!

Even if he ends up being prosecuted, with these preparations, the judge will consider commuting his sentence. If he behaves well later in prison, his sentence can also be commuted. He will probably be released in three to five months. This is permitted by law."

"I knew you, Old Liang, had a solution. I'm going back to the village to find Wang Youde and his wife and ask them to issue a letter of apology, no matter what method I use. Once I get the letter of apology, I'll go find Deputy Secretary Liu..."

With that, Wan Shantang hurriedly left the police station and called the driver to drive directly back to Wanjiazhuang.

Seeing Wan Shantang leaving in a hurry and somewhat confused, Liang Fei and Li Gongan looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh:

"Alas, this time Old Wan is planning to abandon the Wanjia Group, the goose that lays the golden eggs, and rescue that scoundrel from the Wan Chuan family. It's really pitiful how much parents in the world love each other!"

"That's right. I haven't been willing to let go for decades. I've also invested a lot of money this time."

"No need to talk anymore. I just received a notice that I have to go to the town committee for a meeting. We can talk later!"

"Well, go do what you want, I'm going back too!"

Li Gongan put down his teacup and stood up to leave Liang Fei's office so as not to delay him from attending the meeting held by the town government.

........................

As for Wan Shantang, he quickly returned to the Wanjiazhuang Village Committee and asked the village director to go with him to Wang Youde's house. However, before the two of them left the house, they were stopped by several men in suits.

The leader, a dark-faced middle-aged man, walked up to Wan Shantang and said, "Are you Wan Shantang? I'm from the Ningcheng City Jiwei Investigation Team. We've been informed that you've abused your power, misappropriated state resources, embezzled poverty alleviation funds, and possessed a large amount of wealth of unknown origin. We'd like to interview you. Please come back with us for investigation."

Wan Shantang was sweating coldly at this time. He had no doubt about the identity of this group of people, because the deputy secretary of the county, Wei, also came with the investigation team. Although he was not familiar with the other party, he had met him several times.

Let’s talk about the city clerk Wei. He is a new secretary who was transferred here at the beginning of this year. In just half a year, he has earned the nickname of “corrupt official killer” in the city. The number of section-level and division-level cadres who have fallen into his hands is enough to fill an entire team, but he has never arrested a wrong person.
