Chapter 347 Seeking Justice
Jiang Yao's eyes were filled with vigilance: "What do you want to do?"
"Girl, stop playing dumb! If you're smart, just hand over the evidence you have. We can save you some pain."
"Look at this delicate skin and tender flesh, I can't bear to do it!"
Jiang Yao understood now.
That black-hearted boss must have placed spies around those workers in advance.
Once someone finds evidence, it must be destroyed immediately.
Simply unscrupulous.
If someone else were here today, he would have been beaten black and blue.
But who is Jiang Yao?
A flamboyant smile appeared on her face, and she stretched out her finger and hooked it at them, as if teasing a puppy.
"If you want the evidence I have, then you can try it."
This action really angered the thugs present.
"You are such a fool, it seems you will suffer in the end!"
The moment he finished speaking, the tattooed man swung the steel pipe and hit her.
Such an action might have been a threat to Jiang Yao a year ago.
But now in her eyes, it was like a slow motion replay.
Her eyes were as sharp as a blade. Before the steel pipe came down, she dodged it with lightning speed, then raised her foot like a cheetah and kicked him out, slamming him heavily against the wall.
The steel pipe flew out of his hand.
The whole audience was stunned.
Without giving them time to react, Jiang Yao picked up the steel pipe and fought one against many.
Soon there was a crackling sound in the alley, followed by a shrill howl like a pig being slaughtered.
In a moment, peace returned.
Jiang Yao dropped the steel pipe in his hand and brushed off the non-existent dust on his hands.
"So, do you still want the evidence I have?" she asked casually.
"No, no, we won't dare to do it again!" The tattooed man in the lead was so scared that he almost peed his pants.
The others also lay on the ground, begging for mercy in humble voices.
Jiang Yao had no intention of letting them go.
A bunch of bullies who only care about the weak and fear the strong.
If she hadn't been here today, what would have happened to the other people who were bullied and hurt?
And those innocent workers who are exploited live in fear every day.
It’s all because of these things that help the evil.
"Shut up!" Jiang Yao stomped his foot hard on the chest. "Wait until you get to the police station to confess!"
The tattooed man almost vomited and bled.
Eventually, they were arrested one after another by the police. Jiang Yao was also praised by the police, who praised her as an enthusiastic and good citizen and said they would award her a banner someday.
Jiang Yao found it funny and left after refusing repeatedly.
When she arrived at the law firm, she handed over all the evidence in her hand to Xu Li.
"Well, are you sure about what to do next?"
After reading the evidence, Xu Li's eyes lit up and he promised her, "I will definitely win this lawsuit. Wait for my good news. I will make this black-hearted boss pay the compensation and make him pay the price!"
Jiang Yao smiled with satisfaction: "I feel relieved with your words."
For the next three days, Xu Li devoted himself to the lawsuit and asked the court to issue a subpoena and invite Jin Heng to court.
On the day of the trial, Jiang Yao and Li Beiting also went to the court together to attend the trial.
And those exploited workers, including Ji Wanqing and his adoptive father, and Jiang Jinghe also arrived.
When the two sides met, the atmosphere was awkward for a moment.
Since the last quarrel with his fourth uncle, Jiang Yao hasn't seen him for a long time and has not had a good communication with him.
She didn't know how to start yet.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Jiang Jinghe stepped forward and took the initiative to admit his mistake to her: "Yaoyao, what happened last time was my fault!"
Jiang Yao looked up at him in surprise.
"You're right. I shouldn't be so indecisive. It only hurts myself and others. Now I understand."
Jiang Jinghe gave her a wry smile, "I know you were behind this incident. Thank you for helping this immature uncle of mine."
Jiang Yao was completely softened now. "Fourth Uncle, we are all family. I have done things wrong before. As a junior, I shouldn't have lost my temper with you last time."
"Silly girl." Jiang Jinghe reached out and rubbed her head. "I just like it when you lose your temper. It proves that you really treat me like family."
Ji Wanqing, who was standing aside, watched the interaction between the two with a dark look in her eyes.
After a moment, she let go of her adoptive father and took two steps forward, her expression serious: "Ms. Jiang, I really want to thank you for this matter. I will always remember this kindness..."
"Don't thank me yet." Jiang Yao interrupted her directly, "Wait until the court results come out."
Ji Wanqing looked a little embarrassed and looked at Jiang Jinghe beside her for help.
Jiang Jinghe said: "Don't mind, Yaoyao is just like that. Let's go in first!"
Ji Wanqing had no choice but to nod and walked into the court with him.
After everyone left, Li Beiting frowned and asked Jiang Yao beside him, "Didn't you tell your fourth uncle that she almost harmed you?"
Jiang Yao shook his head, "If she is really Fourth Uncle's first love, then what I'm doing will definitely put him in a dilemma.
I'm still unclear about Ji Wanqing's true purpose and her connection to Xu Yueyao, so I'll hold off for now and wait and see what she does next."
Li Beiting understood that she was actually more concerned about her family.
"I will also send someone to keep an eye on her in secret." He would always respect her wishes.
Jiang Yao felt a tenderness in his heart.
They walked into the courtroom gallery together.
The court officially opened in a quarter of an hour.
Jin Heng was brought to court as the defendant, accompanied by a well-known lawyer in the industry.
At the beginning, he was very confident and not very nervous.
But after a lot of back and forth and verbal battles, Xu Li finally produced solid evidence, and under his passionate speech, the opposing lawyer was defeated.
Jin Heng's face turned pale and blue, and he shouted angrily: "You are slandering me! You are slandering me—"
The judge warned sternly: "Silence!"
No matter how angry Jin Heng was, it was of no use.
Finally, the judge and jury reached a unanimous conclusion:
"According to this court's ruling, the defendant Jin Heng forced workers to work despite knowing that the production line posed a safety hazard. He maliciously deregistered the company, transferred assets, and even bribed thugs to threaten the workers' safety in order to evade compensation. These actions are extremely egregious.
This court will sentence Jin Heng to seven years in prison and freeze all his assets to compensate his employees, each receiving 300,000 yuan.
The moment Jin Heng learned the result, he was struck by lightning and almost vomited blood on the spot.
"I don't accept it. I want to appeal. Why are you arresting me? I won't—"
He struggled desperately, trying to argue and resist.
However, the next second, police officers arrived at the scene and arrested him.
