Chapter 302: Strange Village Survival Guide 37
After reading the information, Mingnan couldn't calm down for a long time, and his hands and lips were shaking.
She leaned back in her chair with her eyes closed, two streaks of tears at the corners of her eyes.
It took her a while to calm down before she picked up the phone again.
Jiang Man sent her a message, [It would be best if we could testify in court at the final trial. Do you have time? ]
Mingnan's fingers tapped on the screen: [Yes, I will definitely go.]
Mingnan: [I want to see with my own eyes that their evil deeds will be punished, and watch them pay the price! ]
Jiang Man: [Okay, I'll pick you up then and we'll go together.]
Mingnan didn't ask others if they would go.
So she was a little surprised when she saw everyone showed up on the day of the trial.
Li Yiming scratched his head and said uncomfortably: "Don't look at me like that. I am also a victim. It is my duty to testify in court."
Mingnan smiled and said, "Well, at least now you act like a man."
Li Yiming: “…”
He couldn't help but glance at Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan didn't look at him, but stood aside and talked to Lin Jing.
Mingnan followed Li Yiming's line of sight and looked at her.
After not seeing each other for more than two months, Zhang Yan looked much thinner, and her clothes were a little loose on her. She cut her long hair into short hair that reached her ears and dyed it brown.
She was wearing delicate makeup and looked in great spirits, completely different from before.
Noticing her gaze, Zhang Yan turned around and greeted her with a smile, "Long time no see."
"Well, long time no see." Mingnan also smiled, "You look especially well now."
Zhang Yan smiled, tucked the hair behind her ears, and said softly, "We broke up, got rid of an unhealthy relationship, and I feel like I've lived my life again."
"fine."
Mingnan patted her shoulder and looked at Lin Jing.
Lin Jing couldn't hold back his tears when he saw her. He came up to her and gave her a big hug, "Sister Nan."
Mingnan patted her on the back and asked, "Did you have a nightmare when you got home?"
Lin Jing burst into laughter and said, "At first, I couldn't sleep well at night, but later I got used to it. I always dreamed of me beating people."
She covered her face with her hands in embarrassment and whispered, "My mother said that one morning when she came to call me for dinner, I was fanning myself with my arms raised."
Mingnan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Now I've really become a slap master."
"Shouldn't you thank us?"
An Jiale and Yan Zhen walked over from the other side hand in hand. An Jiale touched his face, still feeling scared. "At that time, Xiao Jingshan made me completely stunned. I was swollen for a long time afterwards."
Hearing this, Lin Jing lowered his head in embarrassment.
Yan Zhen laughed, "Me too, he slapped me one after another, without mercy."
"Will you wake up if we show mercy?" Mingnan glanced at them and said while pressing Lin Jing's shoulder, "If Xiaojing hadn't woken you up, you would have probably slept until the end of the world. Don't be so ungrateful. Just be happy that we didn't ask you for protection money."
"That's right, don't be ungrateful." Gao Shuangbin walked over with his hands in his pockets and put his hand on Lin Jing's other shoulder.
He was wearing big sunglasses, a floral shirt, and baggy shorts.
There were four big words written all over his body: careless.
Lin Jing silently pulled his arm down.
Gao Shuangbin lost his balance, tilted his body, and almost fell into Jiang Man's arms opposite him.
Jiang Man dodged by moving sideways.
Gao Shuangbin: “???”
He stood up and looked at him in disbelief. "Are you serious about retreating?"
Jiang Man: "It couldn't be more true."
Gao Shuangbin covered his heart with grief and anger, "I've been your good friend since you started wearing open-crotch pants!"
"No one should be too close to others. I have a girlfriend now, so I have to keep my distance from other people."
Jiang Man was righteous and confident.
Gao Shuangbin: “???”
Jiang Man walked towards Mingnan under his suspicious gaze, held her hand, and interlocked their fingers.
Lin Jing quickly let go of Mingnan's hand, took a step back and covered his mouth, his eyes gleaming with gossip.
Gao Shuangbin's eyes suddenly widened. "Oh my god, when did you two get together? How come I didn't know?"
Jiang Man and Ming Nan smiled at each other, "Don't you know now?
Gao Shuangbin: "...Tell me, I'm not the last one to know."
Lin Jing whispered, "I don't know either."
An Jiale raised his hand, "I don't know either, Nan Nan, do you still consider me a friend?"
“We haven’t announced it yet.”
Mingnan said softly, "Let's wait until everything has settled."
After hearing this, everyone's smiles faded a little.
Soon, they followed the lawyer into the court.
After entering, Mingnan discovered that not only Su Lan was there, but there were also many victims and their families sitting in the back.
Some were silent and alert, while others hugged each other and wiped their tears.
As soon as someone walked by, they immediately looked over like frightened birds.
This is a trauma reaction left by years of torture, and it won't go away anytime soon.
Ming Nan nodded to them and said softly, "We also escaped from the village, and we are here to testify today."
After hearing what she said, those people relaxed a little.
Mingnan pulled Jiang Man to sit down, followed by Lin Jing and Zhang Yan, who sat next to each other in a row.
They haven't spoken since they came in, just watching everything around them in silence.
Su Lan, who was at the front, saw them and smiled at them.
But before they had a chance to speak, the trial began.
Because there were many witnesses and sufficient evidence, the trial went very smoothly. Almost every person in Luoyang Village had participated in the violation and abuse of the victim.
As they listened to the lawyer exposing the villagers' crimes one by one, many people burst into tears.
Mingnan couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.
The saddest thing is that some people are clearly victims themselves, but over time they seem to have forgotten their identities, turning a blind eye to other victims’ requests for help, and even exposing and informing on other victims when they are trying to escape.
Over the years, many people have had the opportunity to escape, but were caught by the villagers who formed a group because of betrayal by their companions.
The whole village covered up for each other and helped each other. Each of them was the mastermind and an accomplice.
So they have been running rampant these years and no one can do anything to them.
Those who manage their village also came from the village and knew the situation in the village, but they didn't tell anyone about it, so they just turned a blind eye.
At the end of the trial, some of the victim's family members almost fainted from crying, while others hysterically questioned the group of beasts.
The situation was almost out of control.
Fortunately, these villagers covered up for each other, as their crimes were much more complicated and each of them was a serious crime.
In the end, they were sentenced to death for multiple crimes, and those with serious circumstances were sentenced to life imprisonment.
The lightest sentence was three years in prison.
——Digression——
The trial is made up, just for fun, but the law is strict and justice will not let any criminal escape.
