Chapter 202 Killing Red-Eyes
Seeing the incoming call, Xiao Tong seemed to have grabbed the only life-saving straw, "Hello——"
"I already know about your situation. If you don't want everything to be exposed and ruined, I have an idea."
The mysterious person on the other end of the phone deliberately used a voice changer, making it difficult to tell whether he was a man or a woman.
"What idea? Please help me." Xiao Tong asked immediately.
If this mysterious person hadn't given her advice and instigated her to target Shu Ya and Jiang Yao step by step, she wouldn't have come to this point.
Although she didn't know who the other person was, she knew that he was very capable.
After she broke up with Lu Zhengze, she was still able to run rampant in the circle because there was a mysterious person behind her.
She guessed that the other party might be Shu Ya or Jiang Yao's enemy, so he was helping her.
But the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Right now, we can only ask the other party for help.
The mysterious man didn't beat around the bush with her. "It's simple. Just put all the blame on Xiao Yu, and you'll be left alone."
When Xiao Tong heard this, he didn't hesitate for a second, "Okay, please help me find a good defense lawyer."
As the saying goes, if you don’t work for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth!
Besides, she has given Xiao Yu so many benefits, now it is time for him to repay her.
…
A week later.
As the plaintiff, Jiang Yao followed Xu Li to the court.
Before the court session began, everyone was preparing in the hearing room.
There were quite a few people coming to the viewing hall today, after all, it involved a female celebrity and Jiang Yao, who has been in the limelight recently.
They are both the center of the topic, and it is bound to be an exciting showdown.
Jiang Yao held her cell phone and saw the greetings her friends sent her one by one, and her heart felt warm.
However, Li Beiting had no time to contact her this week, probably because the company had too much trouble.
In the past, he was the one who took the initiative, and after forming the habit, Jiang Yao felt empty inside after not receiving any news from him this week.
She had to admit that she missed Li Beiting very much.
But I was afraid of disturbing you, so I edited the message, but I didn’t know whether I should send it or not.
However, thinking that the court session would begin soon, and that he was also half a participant in this matter, he sent a message to notify them in advance.
Naturally, there was no reply from the other end.
Jiang Yao's expression was slightly gloomy.
"Don't worry." At this time, Xu Li, who was standing by, saw her expression and thought she was worried about the bad result, so he comforted her, "I'll take care of everything. I will definitely not let this lawsuit fail. I will make them pay the price."
Jiang Yao finally came back to his senses and smiled at him, "I believe you."
…
The atmosphere on Xiao Yu and Xiao Tong's side was relatively tense.
"Tongtong, we can really clear our suspicion this time and won't go to jail, right?" Xiao Yu asked repeatedly, still very worried.
"Tsk—" Xiao Tong tutted impatiently, "What are you so worried about! I specifically found this well-known domestic lawyer to represent us, just to ensure that we can be found not guilty. Just wait and see!"
Her tone was too firm.
Only then did Xiao Yu feel relieved.
Soon the trial officially began.
The atmosphere in the courtroom was solemn and dignified.
The judge and jury appeared one after another.
Jiang Yao sat in the plaintiff's seat, looking at the two people in the defendant's seat opposite, and silent smoke of gunpowder spread in the air.
"Court is now in session!" The judge's loud voice broke the silence.
Everyone stood up and saluted the judge.
A battle officially began.
"Plaintiff, please state your claims and factual basis."
The judge's words fell.
Xu Li stood up and spoke in a clear voice: "Your Honor, my client, Ms. Jiang Yao, is a talented and accomplished novelist. However, she has been the victim of the defendant Xiao Yu's impersonation and blatant online rumors..."
He expounded the facts eloquently.
Then he turned on the projector and displayed a series of evidence: screenshots of Xiao Yu's Weibo posts that spread rumors, malicious comments in the novel comment section, transaction records, etc.
"My client has suffered repeated harm and endured a lot of psychological pressure during this period, while the defendant has trampled on her head, enjoyed the fruits of victory, and exploited the fan base to make money... We demand that the court sentence her according to the law and make appropriate compensation."
Xu Li finished making his request.
At this time, the defendant's lawyer also slowly stood up.
Just when everyone thought he was about to make a defense, he directly admitted: "What the plaintiff's lawyer said is true, but it was not done by my client, Ms. Xiao Tong, but... at the instigation of Xiao Yu!"
Xiao Yu was stunned on the spot, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
The defendant's lawyer said slowly, "Xiao Yu, you have been brainwashing Xiao Tong for a long time. First, you made her recognize you as her brother, and then you forced her to give you money and do things for you..."
He used the most inflammatory words to describe Xiao Yu as a villain who took advantage of girls' emotions to brainwash them and cheat them out of their money.
The audience was moved by his words and felt a strong anger towards Xiao Yu.
"No, I am. It's obviously all her fault—" Xiao Yu was so angry that his eyes turned red.
However, no matter how I tried to explain it, it was of no avail.
In the end, Xiao Tong was acquitted.
However, Xiao Yu was sentenced to two years in prison and a fine of one million yuan for impersonating Jiang Yao, using readers to make a large sum of money, spreading rumors, and exposing people's privacy.
Xiao Yu was struck by lightning.
His total net worth now is less than one million!
He has to go to jail, isn't that the end of him?
The trial is over.
Xiao Yu stood there in a daze for a long while before reacting. He immediately caught up with Xiao Tong and said, "Xiao Tong, stop right there! Why, why are you doing this to me? It's clearly you who ordered all this!"
He grabbed Xiao Tong's arm in frustration.
Xiao Tong was about to scold him.
At this time, a group of reporters gathered outside. "Ms. Xiao, I heard that you have suffered long-term mental damage. Is that true?"
"Xiao Yu is not your brother, but he threatened you and forced you to give him money. Why did you agree to him? Does he have something on you?"
"Ms. Xiao, please explain."
Facing the camera, Xiao Tong instantly put on a tearful expression.
"Yes, I was too stupid. I was working hard in the entertainment industry alone and had never met anyone who was kind to me before, so I believed Xiao Yu's sweet words. It wasn't until he started to use me, asked me to build a writer persona for him, and asked me to spend money, that I realized something was wrong.
But later, I was no longer able to resist and could only watch him make one mistake after another, even going so far as to smear a real writer. I was really sad. "
As she spoke, her eyes became red.
Reporters expressed their sympathy and at the same time blamed Xiao Yu.
"Scumbag, scum, don't you think about the retribution for doing such a thing?"
"Now he's been sentenced. He deserves it."
"Who told you to deceive Tongtong?"
Jiang Yao saw this scene as soon as he walked out. He felt sad, but he did not sympathize with Xiao Yu.
It's all because of his greed, no one else is to blame.
