Chapter 258: Evil Will Be Repaid with Evil: Judgment of Justice
Just when "Love Apartment" was getting popular, a piece of news that suddenly broke out caused an uproar on the Internet.
"The secret case of the gods will be publicly tried..."
A short announcement caused the Chinese Internet to explode.
The Secret of the Gods case was the most sensational case last year. Su Yang was directly deified because of this incident.
It had been six months since Lin Qianqian's arrest. Because the case was too complicated, it hadn't been heard in court.
After such a long period of preparation, things will finally come to a conclusion this summer.
This trial was held in public and broadcast live online because the case had such a huge impact and attracted so much attention.
It is reasonable to hold a public trial now. This news has aroused the enthusiasm of netizens.
"Hahaha, I must watch the live broadcast. I wonder how many years Lin Qianqian will be sentenced to."
"I feel the death penalty is not excessive..."
"It shouldn't be the death penalty, probably more than ten years..."
"There's a high probability of life imprisonment, and there are many charges involved..."
"These people want to eat Brother Yang's flesh..."
"Serves him right, damn it! He's harmed so many people, he should be shot..."
"Support the death penalty..."
"The death penalty must be imposed..."
"Life imprisonment, making them use their inferior products every day..."
Netizens started discussing it. Although it has been a long time since the incident, everyone still hasn't forgotten the sensation it caused.
It is true that Lin Qianqian and her friends have harmed too many people. Now that Lin Qianqian's case has finally entered the sentencing stage, countless netizens are curious about what punishment Lin Qianqian and her friends will receive.
This incident also caused a huge sensation and attention in the entertainment industry. After all, Lin Qianqian was able to call the shots in the entertainment industry, and there were many celebrities who secretly supported her.
No one expected that such an artist would be buried directly by Su Yang.
Now Su Yang is rising rapidly in the entertainment industry, while Lin Qianqian and others have become criminals. This kind of thing inevitably makes them feel sad.
Su Yang also saw this news. After seeing this news, Su Yang could only sigh.
This person is just not content sometimes. Even after making so much money in the entertainment industry, he still isn't satisfied, taking advantage of others' misfortunes with a guilty conscience. Even if this matter doesn't come to light himself, it will surely come to light in the future. But by then, perhaps this couple will have already made enough money and will be hiding in Taiwan.
In short: They deserved it. Lin Qianqian and the others deserved ten executions for what they did. They profited from the blood of the lower classes, causing the destruction of some families. They can't just play the victim and call it a day.
On Thursday morning, the Yanjing Court opened a livestream. At around 8 a.m., before the trial even began, countless Chinese netizens flocked to the livestream.
Such a huge amount of traffic almost broke the live broadcast room, but fortunately they had made preparations long ago. This is how they managed to hold up the huge traffic.
Looking at the number of people online in the live broadcast room, many people took a deep breath.
Wow, early in the morning, the entire live broadcast room had over 50 million people watching online. This popularity directly overshadowed those netizens and celebrities in the circle.
This case has its own buzz. It was such a sensation back then. It took dozens of buses to deport the suspects from a luxury cruise ship.
Later, the whole country launched a vigorous crackdown on pyramid schemes such as WeChat merchants. The WeChat merchants that were rampant at the time suddenly disappeared.
Many famous micro-business brands have disappeared, and those responsible have been arrested or run away.
Not only that, online sales of luxury cars like Maserati and Porsche have plummeted, with fewer and fewer people picking up their cars.
Even the entertainment industry has become much cleaner, so this case is truly significant. It's also for this reason that this case took so long to be sentenced. They wanted to conduct this case thoroughly.
Only in this way can we convince the public, only in this way can we let everyone know what these people have done, and also serve as a warning to some people.
At nine in the morning, the courtroom opened and a large number of people poured into it.
These people include reporters, family members of some criminal suspects, and various staff members.
Soon, Lin Qianqian and the others were brought over.
Lin Qianqian was wearing a yellow vest, and she looked completely different from before. She looked extremely haggard, and there was no trace of her former celebrity look left.
The same is true for her husband Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang, who had already gained weight, has now lost weight.
Besides the two of them, a large group of people followed in. This included high-ranking officials from Shenxian Secret, as well as shareholders, etc. Many of these faces were familiar to everyone.
"My goodness, this is a serious crime. Look at how Lin Qianqian and Zhang Yang are dressed, they're even in shackles..."
"It feels like it will take at least twenty years..."
“It’s hard to say…”
"He deserves it..."
"It's just asking for trouble. Instead of being a good star, she has to make this kind of money..."
“Serves you right…”
In the livestream, many netizens started discussing the situation. Lin Qianqian and her group had many fans before, but none of them dared to defend her now. The state authorities were taking action, and if there wasn't irrefutable evidence, why would they do anything about her? To defend her at this time would be courting disaster.
"Everyone, rise..."
The courtroom staff quickly arrived, and after the verdict was read, everyone sat down again. Zhang Ting and the others were at the front of the line to be questioned.
Many people couldn't help but gulp as they looked at the files in front of the staff. The piles of files looked intimidating, considering how many things were involved.
The trial was not rushed, as each case was examined one by one. Just reading out these organized documents was enough to make people collapse.
As the staff read out the statement and Lin Qianqian and Zhang Yang admitted it, the whole incident slowly surfaced.
Initially, Lin Qianqian and Zhang Yang saw the potential in WeChat commerce and wanted to give it a try. They wanted to go for high-end brands, but while sales increased, profits were minimal due to high costs.
Later, in order to make more money, the two of them used their personal connections to look for people up there, and through layers of relationships, they finally found a backer.
From then on, the nature of their relationship slowly changed. Lin Qianqian and her partner gave most of their earnings to the people they found, keeping only a small portion for themselves. But even that small portion was enough to make them both very wealthy.
When they weren't involved in WeChat business, the couple were already considered outdated artists in the entertainment industry. They worked hard all year round and only earned tens of millions.
But since I started playing the Secret of the Gods, the speed at which I make money has changed.
The annual income is calculated in billions. In just a few years, the two people relied on the secret routine of the gods. The income exceeded 3 billion yuan, and this was only a small part of the money they took.
As the trial progressed, data came out one after another, and many people drooled at the sight of these data.
This gameplay is really too profitable, and these data have also made countless netizens angry.
A magical secret, in just a few years, through this routine, illegal profits of more than 30 billion yuan were made.
All this money was earned by exploiting people's blood. Millions of people across the country were deceived, and tens of thousands of people were disfigured as a result of using inferior cosmetics.
Over the past six months, all the secrets of the gods have been uncovered.
Faced with irrefutable evidence, Lin Qianqian and the others offered no rebuttal. The evidence was so damning, including exhibits, witnesses, and various sales and transfer records.
This time, even those involved in underground money laundering were apprehended by Huaxia. Meanwhile, some people who had fled overseas were also apprehended through joint law enforcement over the past six months.
A lot of funds were also recovered. After all, China is not the same as it was in previous years.
The trial officially began, lasting the entire morning until midnight, but many matters were still unresolved. The court had no choice but to adjourn the hearing and resume it in the afternoon.
What no one expected was that the review was not completed in the afternoon because too many people were involved.
However, it was already late, so the trial could only continue the next day. By the afternoon of the next day, after two days, the entire case was finally concluded.
This was just Lin Qianqian and the others' matter. As for when the person above would be tried, that would be announced then. After all, that person was involved in more than just the secrets of the gods.
"Everyone stand up..."
The next afternoon, after careful discussion, the presiding judge began to pronounce the verdict, and netizens became excited to see how Lin Qianqian and the others would sentence her.
"Criminal suspect Lin Qianqian, convicted of organizing a pyramid scheme, sentenced to five years in prison..."
"The criminal suspect, Lin Qianqian, is guilty of selling counterfeit and shoddy goods in huge amounts, causing serious consequences. She is sentenced to life imprisonment..."
"The criminal suspect, Lin Qianqian, is guilty of bribery of a huge amount and is sentenced to life imprisonment..."
"The criminal suspect, Lin Qianqian, committed the crime of illegal money laundering..."
"The suspect, Lin Qianqian, is guilty of tax evasion..."
Looking at the list of charges, many people swallowed their saliva. The entire case involved too many charges. Each charge had a sentence of years.
"This court sentences the suspect, Lin Qianqian, to death and deprives her of her political rights for life..."
When the final verdict was announced, the entire livestream room erupted in excitement. Lin Qianqian felt as if her soul had been drained from her body, her entire body limp. Two police officers quickly supported her.
"The suspect, Zhang Yang..."
Soon after, Lin Qianqian's husband, Zhang Yang, was also sentenced. His charges were nearly identical to Lin Qianqian's, and even his sentence was identical. Ultimately, he was sentenced to death and deprived of his political rights for life.
When the publicity results of the two main culprits came out, many people felt very happy.
This time, the death penalty was imposed directly, which is rare. This shows how serious the case is.
The other people also began to receive sentences, life imprisonment, fixed-term imprisonment, and so on. The entire courtroom was bustling with activity. After Su Yang saw the verdict, he felt a mixture of emotions. He didn't feel happy at all. After all, he was the one who broke the news, and now two people were sentenced to death. Su Yang really didn't expect it. It made him feel like a murderer.
