Chapter 355

With Li Wei’s solemn statement in “Three Minutes of Heat”, the fragrant duck has completely become a hot search and has become the object of praise by all Hong Kong citizens.

The lawsuit between Fragrant Duck, more than a dozen victims and the Hong Kong Food Bureau also became well-known in Hong Kong and became the focus of many people's attention.

As time approaches, this world-renowned food safety lawsuit has officially opened its first hearing at the High Court at 38 Queensway, Admiralty, Central and Western District, Hong Kong Island.

Reporters from all media outlets in Hong Kong flocked to the scene, wanting to know the final outcome of the lawsuit.

As soon as Mo Zhexuan and Guan Jiahui arrived at their destination in their Ford Cortina, they were surrounded by reporters.

Then he got out of the car under the protection of five bodyguards, otherwise he would have been completely surrounded by these reporters.

"Mr. Mo! I'm Li Yuxuan, a reporter from the Economic Daily. I'm wondering if you think Fragrant Duck can win the jury's favor and secure a victory this time."

"Ms. Guan! I'm Li Xiaohong, a reporter from Entertainment Weekly. Rumor has it that you joined the cast of 'First Time' to replace Weng Jingjing, entirely due to Mr. Mo's investment. Aren't you ashamed? Doesn't your acting bring discredit to the cast of 'First Time'?"

"Mr. Mo! I'm Wang Zijun, a reporter for Oriental Daily. Fifteen families have been poisoned by Fragrant Duck products. Doesn't that prove it's a food safety incident? Isn't it just humiliating for you to file a lawsuit?"

“......................”

Mo Zhexuan had originally not intended to respond to the reporters' questions, but the questions from the Oriental Daily reporter completely infuriated him. He pulled out his recorder, pointed at the reporter, and said fiercely:

"Reporter, do you dare repeat what you just said? Before the court's verdict comes out, I will sue anyone who dares to slander Fragrant Duck. Are you ready to go to court?"

These powerful words immediately caused an uproar among all the reporters present. The reporter from Oriental Daily, who had been so arrogant just now, immediately lowered his head and stopped talking.

In Hong Kong, a capitalist society, capital dominates everything and money holds supreme status. As long as you have money and power, you can basically do whatever you want.

Afterwards, Mo Zhexuan accepted interviews from some media reporters and delivered some passionate speeches. The core message was that Fragrant Duck is a responsible and accountable company that always puts service first.

Then he and Guan Jiahui prepared to enter the court hall through the audience passage. As they walked up the stone steps, they saw a lifelike statue, which must be the famous goddess of justice.

The goddess of justice is blindfolded, holding a huge sword in her right hand and a pair of scales tightly in her left hand. There are piles of books and skulls at her feet, a poisonous snake under her feet, and a dog behind her back.

This statue is Juditia, the famous incarnation of justice in ancient Roman mythology.

The purpose of blindfolding is to avoid being misled by what the eyes see, and to restore the truth with the heart. Holding a sword represents a means to stop violence. A pair of scales represents fairness and justice. The others have their own meanings.

As soon as the two entered from the audience passage, they instantly attracted everyone's attention. It was not until the judge came in that everyone turned their attention to the case itself.

With the clerk's command for everyone to stand up, the trial process officially began, and everyone looked at a young man in the dock.

"Case number kcc. Defendant Liu Xiaojun is accused of damaging Fragrant Duck's store property without cause on December 31st, assaulting Li Xiaomei and four other women, and defaming Fragrant Duck's food as posing a safety hazard. Do you plead guilty?"

"Your Honor! Of course I plead not guilty. I assaulted the employee of Fragrant Duck for no reason and was emotionally agitated. You know, my five-year-old child and my seventy-year-old grandfather died because they ate Fragrant Duck products..."

"Protest! The defendant has made groundless slander against Xiangxiang Duck." The lawyer representing Xiangxiang Duck immediately stood up and refuted with righteous words.

"The protest is valid. Please ask the defendant to provide evidence of food poisoning." The judge thought for a moment and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Your Honor! Here is the authorization letter from the Xiangjiang Food Bureau that our Fragrant Duck received, as well as the test report from a third-party agency. We also consulted Liu Xiaojun's attending physician and obtained evidence that he had food poisoning."

When Mo Zhexuan heard this, he knew that it was a sure thing. In order to win the lawsuit, he naturally had to get all the evidence, just to kill with one blow.

Now the situation is completely favorable to all parties, so they no longer pay attention to it. Instead, they are very curious about the wigs worn by the judges and lawyers. It is said that this thing was made of the hair of dead people or debtors in the past. It is chilling to think about it.

Of course, nowadays judicial wigs are made of horse mane. The production process of a judicial wig is very complicated, so the price is also very expensive. This leads to judges rarely cleaning the wigs on their heads. There are even rumors among the people that the qualifications of a judge can be seen from the wig on his head.

Even after Hong Kong returned to the embrace of the motherland, it did not abolish the judicial wig system from the colony. Instead, it believed that wearing a wig in court would make it more solemn. This is really ridiculous.

Just when Mo Zhexuan was about to fall asleep, the judge, after listening to the opinions of the jury, formally found the defendant Liu Xiaojun guilty.

Not only do they have to compensate for the economic losses in the Fragrant Duck shop, but also the medical expenses of Li Xiaomei and four others.
