The closer he got to the judgement platform, the more solemn and serious it seemed. When he reached the plaintiff's seat, Su Qi suddenly felt something magical.

She had always thought that she, an honest and obscure person, had nothing to do with the court, but she never expected that one day she would be the plaintiff.

Lawyer Lin Zi found the dazed little girl somewhat amusing.

In fact, this situation is very common. Some people may never be in a court in their entire life. When a person stands in the plaintiff's seat or the defendant's seat for the first time, he will feel deeply touched even if there is no one around.

Lawyer Lin Zi did not disturb Su Qi, but observed her with interest.

As her lawyer, Lin Zi had of course investigated Su Qi and seen her dance. It had to be said that even as a girl, she couldn't help but want to praise her.

Today, Su Qi was wearing that weird sweater suit. Her small face was covered by a green hood. Although her eyes could not be seen, her skin was very tender. Her beautiful figure was also covered tightly by the loose sweater. This suit almost covered all her advantages.

In Lin Zi's opinion, there is a sense of regret that a beautiful jade is covered in dust.

However, she can understand it.

After all, this little girl is now a public figure. Although she is forced to be famous, it is good for her to keep a low profile.

Just then, accompanied by a ding sound.

The door behind him was opened and people rushed in one after another.

At the same time, the presiding judge and his entourage slowly took their seats.

Once everyone was seated, the presiding judge's gavel was heard tapping on the table.

With a bang,

The court session finally began!

Chapter 215 Yang Ming's Social Death

"quiet!"

Following the presiding judge's words, the people in the audience slowly stopped whispering to each other.

They all turned their eyes silently to Su Qi who was sitting in the plaintiff's seat.

At this moment, Su Qi saw the judges coming and lifted up his green hood.

Lawyer Lin Zi looked at her with interest. Su Qi's shoulder-length hair made her look a bit playful.

Perhaps because of nervousness, she subconsciously bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth. Lawyer Lin Zi was watching her red lips, which became crystal clear and rosy because of this action.

Even though I am a rational lawyer, I was attracted to it at that moment.

Looking at Su Qi who knew nothing about this, Lin Zi thought to himself, no wonder An Ning always talks about her every day, she is such a charming little goblin.

He moved two inches towards her without leaving a trace, leaned over slightly, and whispered in Su Qi's ear: "Don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything."

Su Qi calmed down a lot after hearing these words.

At this time, the back door of the court was also opened, and the defendants, 'Yang Ming and his son', wearing white prison uniforms, were pushed down to the defendant's seat by two police officers.

When Yang Daming saw Wang Dahahua, he was stunned. Why did this woman come? Wasn’t this a gift?

Then he saw Wang Dahua giving him a reassuring look, and Yang Daming became even more panicked.

He knew his wife's habits very well. To be honest, she was a bit arrogant, but lacked some consideration. Yang Daming didn't think that the opponent he couldn't defeat would not be his wife's opponent.

However, now that they have come to the court, the evidence had been submitted to the agenda a few days ago, and the situation has become a matter of time. Yang Daming looked at the lawyer with gold-rimmed glasses beside her and it seemed that she could only pin her hopes on him.

"All rise!"

As the judge said this, everyone in the room stood up. Because she stood up, Su Qi could feel more gazes, which made the socially anxious Su Qi have no courage to look back.

Although Lawyer Lin Zi has experienced many ups and downs and is accustomed to the gazes of the public, the gazes of this group of spectators today were indeed a bit scorching.

At this time, the judge briefly stated the case, and after the presiding judge said "sit down", everyone took their seats.

After sitting down, Lawyer Lin Zi, who was sitting next to Su Qi, turned on the microphone and read the indictment that he had prepared in advance:

"At 2021 pm on May 5, 14, on the 3th floor of the teaching building of Soochow University, Yang Ming attempted to force my client. Although he failed, he caused many abrasions on my client's body. According to Article 8 of the law, Yang Ming's actions can be defined as serious circumstances..."

When the audience heard this, they all looked at Yang Ming angrily. After all, forcing women has always been considered shameful by everyone.

What's more, the target is the girl who makes people feel soft and cute at first sight. How much psychological damage must this cause to her? Everyone looked at Su Qi with softer eyes.

At this time, Lawyer Lin Zi continued:

"On May 2021, 5, according to the confession of Wang Biao, the 'evil force' arrested by the police, 'Yang Daming' spent 20 million to 'hire' his team to threaten the 'party' and his relatives and friends, with an extremely bad attitude. Then he 'bribed' XXXXX, a total of 100 people in Suzhou City, to eliminate the impact and the 'surveillance video' at the time. The cumulative amount of bribes exceeded 12 million. According to Article 500 of the Criminal Law, it should be considered a serious circumstance..."

Lawyer Lin Zi's voice was extremely clear and solemn, and every word was heard clearly by everyone in the court.

Everyone was shocked when they heard that 'Yang Daming' bribed officials with millions.

"...In view of the serious circumstances of Yang Ming and his son, they should be sentenced to ten years in prison." Lawyer Lin Zi finally summarized and issued a conclusion.

When Su Qi heard Lin Zi say ten years, she was a little surprised. Is it that serious?

Little did they know that this was a negotiation technique. Was the relationship between Yang Ming and his son serious? It was serious, but not serious enough to warrant the highest level of punishment.

The price is raised to the highest here, and it is difficult to bargain later, right? Besides, isn't it her duty to increase the interests of the "plaintiff"?

The judge watched the plaintiff finish his story and said to the people sitting in the defendant's seat:

"Please provide evidence to the contrary!"

The man with gold-rimmed glasses pushed his glasses. To be honest, he was under a lot of pressure. He knew he was in the wrong, but he had no choice because Wang Dahua gave him too much.

Feeling the angry gazes of the people in the audience behind him, he coughed twice and said:

"We have found out through investigation that the 'plaintiff' is a comic book artist who made a game (Flower Blooming Demon) on his own. In order to collect materials, he 'dressed as a man' and studied at Soochow University for two years. According to the description of the 'client', he did this just to collect materials for the 'plaintiff'. It was the result of a discussion between the two of them. Therefore, this is a false accusation directed and acted by the 'plaintiff' himself."

After listening to the gold-rimmed glasses lawyer's speech, everyone in the audience looked at Yang Ming in prison uniform. Isn't this just a lie?

If you are looking for someone to act in a play, why not find your roommate who you live with day and night in the dormitory?

However, although everyone knows it is a lie, it is this kind of "muddling things over", with both sides sticking to their own opinions, that can best alleviate the complex.

Then the lawyer continued:

"According to our investigation, we found that the game produced by the plaintiff was sold on an overseas website called stmmm, and has sold more than 3 copies so far. Does the plaintiff admit it?" After the man with gold-rimmed glasses finished speaking, he pulled his glasses and looked at Lin Zi who was sitting in the plaintiff's seat.

Lin Zi of course knew about Su Qi's dark history and had done research on it. She responded:

"We believe that the debate should focus on the controversial issues of the case. As for the issues raised by the defendant, they are irrelevant and do not fit the theme of this case. We refuse to answer them."

Of course, the man with gold-rimmed glasses would not let go of this "opportunity" and tried desperately to link "making games" and "attempted incident" together, because only in this way would Yang Ming's sentencing punishment be reduced.

The two of them talked carefully for ten minutes. Listening to their serious and firm conversation, I could hear them talking.

Su Qi had a feeling of being overwhelmed. She was almost dizzy from all the twists and turns.

I just think that maybe this is the charm of language!

In the end, the judge still ruled that there was a connection between the two. The reason was that Su Qi's "dressing as a man" at school could indeed be considered a criminal record for the material. The "defendant's" remarks could indeed have happened.

"Please, plaintiff, refute." The judge looked at lawyer Lin Zi and said.

Lin Zi met the gaze of the man with gold-rimmed glasses, took out a USB flash drive slowly, and said:

"I have a video from the school on that day."

The man with gold-rimmed glasses looked at Wang Dahua in surprise, because she had repeatedly assured him that the school video had been destroyed.

In fact, the video of that day was indeed destroyed by Wang Dahua, but before that, the president of Soochow University, Lin Xiangdong, had already had a backup in his mobile phone, and had secretly handed it to her two days ago.

Soon, the images of the day appeared on the projector.

When seeing the staggering Su Qi, slowly holding on to the stairs, everyone can see that this is not "something filmed", but pure violence.

As the picture progresses bit by bit.

Yang Ming, who had been quiet, suddenly began to struggle. The two police officers beside him quickly subdued him because he knew what was going to happen next.

But just as he was about to shout, the policeman behind him stuffed a towel into his mouth.

At this moment, the screen switched to the infirmary, and the 'defendant' in the screen was seen taking off the only fig leaf. Although it was blocked by the mosaic, the outline of the small earthworm could still be vaguely seen.

Yang Ming knelt weakly on the ground at this time, feeling the contemptuous glances and "eh~" looks coming from all around.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that the number of years he was sentenced to was no longer important.

Because he is, in a sense, already dead.

Chapter 216 Yang Daming, Very Scared

(Thanks to '一叶孤舟T7' Nuwa for the reward!)

Su Qi looked at Yang Ming silently, even though they were standing on opposite sides.

But this scene was so tragic that even she couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Yang Ming.

If she were to put herself in his shoes, Su Qi shuddered after thinking about it.

"Quick, record this scene, and also shoot the shot of the one kneeling on the ground." An Ning and Wang Zijin directed Gu Panpan to shoot this scene.

This scene made many reporters nearby envious. But their family affairs were left outside the door.

During court trials, the use of electronic products such as photography and recording is not allowed without permission.

However, if you apply to the court in advance, the court will handle it at its discretion.

Of course, there were so many reporters who wanted to film today's events. If there were too many reporters, it would definitely disrupt the trial, so there was only one spot.

Wang Zijin used his connections, together with Su Qi and Yang Ming, who were actually students of Soochow University, to seize this spot. He even borrowed a camera for this purpose, which led to this scene.

"'Defendant' please continue with your testimony." The judge was not affected by the video and still looked solemn.

The lawyer with gold-rimmed glasses quickly calmed down after hearing the judge's words.

After all, lawyers have been working for a long time, and they know that there are not too many cases where the parties know about the situation but do not report it or there is a lack of intelligence.

Although the lack of information about Wang Dahua was fatal, it was not a hopeless situation.

"This video from the 'plaintiff' is indeed strong evidence. But this video cannot prove that the 'plaintiff' has not committed the crime of disseminating documents."

In fact, this argument was a biased card. Because if Su Qi was charged with the crime of "disseminating documents", although Yang Ming's crime was an attempted crime, since Su Qi made the mistake first, Yang Ming would also be sentenced accordingly even though he was at fault.

The man with gold-rimmed glasses pushed up his glasses and continued:

"Although 'stmmm' is a completely overseas company and the 'plaintiff's' games are sold purely overseas, this does not violate the law. However, the 'plaintiff's' fans helped the 'plaintiff' to promote the game in disguise on the Internet and made profits, which violated the law."

After speaking, the man with gold-rimmed glasses handed the judge a picture he had found on the Internet in advance.

Lawyer Lin Zi had already anticipated the other party's thoughts, and the two began a new round of verbal battle.

The fight between the two lasted for more than ten minutes, but there was still no result.

But it overturned Su Qi's three views. For more than ten minutes, the two did not repeat each other's words, but emphasized their own positions. However, although shocked, Su Qi also slowly heard the key points.

That is whether you have made a "profit" from the publicity of group members.

Su Qi was very excited when she mentioned this. She was a pauper now. She had no profit at all. There were only four digits left in her bank account. All the money was donated by the system mother.

Wait, it was donated to the disaster area, doesn't that prove that there is no "profit"?

Thinking of this important matter, Su Qi took out his mobile phone and found all the donation details under the guidance of the system girl, and pulled the corner of lawyer Lin Zi's clothes.

Lawyer Lin Zi was still thinking about what he should say next, but Su Qi pulled him and interrupted his train of thought.

However, when facing Su Qi's big, twinkling eyes, he really had no temper.

Then he turned his eyes to the phone that Su Qi handed over. Looking at the details of the donations, ranging from millions to 1000, Lin Zi was shocked at this moment.

Because the revenue from Bilibili and the game never went into the bank, they were donated by the system.

You know, you can’t check the bill without bank statements. Even lawyer Lin Zi couldn’t check this account.

And Lin Zi paid attention to the time. He donated not in the past two days, but on the day when heavy rain broke out in Henan, he donated together with that company.

Lin Zi looked at the details. She had estimated Su Qi's wealth. Looking at the total amount, didn't it mean that almost all of it was donated?

After looking at the bill, Lin Zi felt a little ashamed for a moment.

She is a well-known lawyer in Suzhou with a high winning rate. Many people seek her out for lawsuits. She earned 600 million yuan last year and 300 million yuan so far this year.

The money she donated is countless times more than that of this little girl, but she only donated 1 yuan in this disaster, although no one said that her donation was too little.

But when she saw the soft, cute and innocent little girl in front of her donating all her money at once, she was still quite touched by the comparison.

After all, in today's slightly impetuous, money-oriented society, there are too few "silly girls" like Su Qi.
