"Attorney Qin, there are many people in the audience at today's court hearing!"
Yue Hongxi was puzzled. She looked around and then looked at Chang Jinhui, asking silently, "What's going on?"
Chang Jinhui shrugged, equally confused.
As the two were exchanging glances, Qin Suisui tapped the table with her pen.
"Bring out all the court documents for a final check!"
Yue Hongxin immediately sat up straight and opened the file folder on the table to carefully read through it.
Chang Jinhui wasn't as quick to react as she was, and could only touch his nose and give an awkward smile.
Qin Suisui closed her eyes to calm herself down.
Today's trial is a public hearing, the purpose of which is to cause the suspect to break down in court and trigger a chain reaction.
This was a setup specifically targeting Lin Feng, but the entire trial process was in Qin Suisui's hands.
Although she had rehearsed it in her mind several times, she was still a little nervous.
After all, this time he not only appeared in court as the plaintiff's lawyer, but also had the mission of guiding the outcome of the entire trial.
Her gaze swept quickly across the direction of the media cameras; she knew that behind those lenses lay what they wanted.
"Quiet!"
The court clerk was the first to stand up, because this was a public trial and he needed to read out the court rules.
He glanced down at the courtyard.
"Today is the Seventh Court of the Beicheng Fengjiang District People's Court. The court is in open session. …A collegial panel has been formed in accordance with the law. The court is now in session and the court rules are as follows: …"
"Your Honor, both the plaintiff and the defendant are present. Please give instructions!"
Judge Lou put on his glasses, glanced up at the courtroom below, and then looked at the court clerk.
At Judge Lou's signal, the court clerk said: "Please enter the courtroom."
Qin Suisui was the first to stand up, and the others followed suit.
"sit down!"
Judge Lou opened the documents in front of him, reached for the gavel, and struck it down.
"Bang!"
"Court is now in session!"
Su Chun did not hire a lawyer, firstly because she did not have enough money to afford one, and secondly because she felt averse to the legal profession.
She sat alone in the dock, isolated and helpless.
She glanced around and felt uncomfortable as she felt scrutinizing gazes constantly sweeping over her from the audience.
Su Chun glanced at her husband, who sat expressionless in the plaintiff's seat, her mind somewhat dazed.
How did she end up like this? After the old man died, she was the one in charge of the family. How could she be so confused?
It's all Pang Yi's fault. If it weren't for Pang Yi's seduction, she wouldn't have ended up like this.
Her mind was hazy when she suddenly heard murmurs from the audience, even Huo Jiakai sounding angry and agitated.
She turned her head in confusion towards the entrance of the courthouse.
"Pang Yi!"
Upon seeing the familiar face, she suddenly gasped in shock, her voice shrill and piercing.
"Pang Yi, you bastard! You've ruined me!"
Su Chun suddenly stood up and ran quickly toward him. She was stopped by the bailiffs as soon as she ran out of the plaintiff's seat.
"Madam, please return to your seat!"
Su Chun was in tears, her breathing rapid with emotion. She looked up at the tall, serious bailiff in front of her, then glanced at Pang Yi, who kept his head down and remained silent, not daring to look at her.
She sneered repeatedly.
"Pang Yi, why didn't you keep running? How come you were caught so quickly? You're such a useless piece of trash!"
"Pooh!"
She angrily spat at him from a distance.
"Quiet!"
Judge Lou struck the gavel once again.
"Plaintiff, please control your emotions."
After venting her anger, Su Chun glared fiercely at Pang Yi, then turned and returned to the defendant's seat.
Judge Lou glanced coldly at Su Chun, then turned to look in Qin Suisui's direction.
"Plaintiff's attorney, please begin your questions!"
"Thank you, Your Honor!"
Qin Suisui slowly stood up, bowed to the presiding judge, and walked to Pang Yi.
"Defendant Pang Yi, did you maliciously sell five million shares of Huo's stock at a low price at the Beicheng Stock Exchange between 1 p.m. on June 17 and 11 a.m. on June 22, 2020?"
Upon hearing Qin Suisui's question, Pang Yi, who had been keeping his head down and silent, looked up at her with a mocking expression.
"Law Qin, what do you mean by malicious selling? I'm selling normally because of the financial crisis. Central banks are withdrawing funds, and the stock market has been sluggish!"
He raised his handcuffed hands and placed them on the railing, his expression calm.
"With the stock market in turmoil, should I just sell and wait for it to continue losing money?"
"Yeah?"
Qin Suisui picked up the documents in her hand, turned around, and handed them to the bailiff.
"This is the change in the stock index of Beicheng Exchange from June 17th to 22nd. In particular, before 2:00 PM on June 17th, only 21 stocks on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange fell. After 2:27 PM, Huo's stock fell to the daily limit down in just one hour, hitting the lowest point of the day!"
She turned to look at Pang Yi.
"The stock index of Huo's Group has always been relatively stable. I have reviewed Huo's Group's stock index for the past three years, and the fluctuation range has always been between 39 yuan and 43 yuan. Mr. Pang, how could you maliciously suppress Huo's stock in just two hours when the overall stock market was rising, causing investors to panic and resulting in the continuous collapse of Huo's entire stock market?"
