Lan's mother suddenly realized what was going on, turned around and glared angrily at Tang Xinyou's mother, who was still sitting on the ground trying to gain sympathy from the crowd. However, security guards had already come over to disperse them.
After thinking about it, Lan's mother realized that her daughter was right. It would be bad if something went wrong at this time. Once she understood, she calmed down and went to the courthouse.
court.
Linghu Lan saw Tang Xinyou again. Tang Xinyou looked much more haggard than before, and had lost her former delicate and neat appearance. She seemed to be shrouded in a layer of gray haze, and looked listless. However, the resentment and fear in her eyes were clearly revealed.
When Tang Xinyou saw Linghu Lan, her eyes practically spit fire. If she hadn't been guarded by the armed police, she would have rushed out and strangled Linghu Lan to death.
Linghu Lan didn't care at all about her opinion; no matter the verdict, this grudge could be put aside.
People should always look forward.
Compared to a long life, these three years are just a short time. She encountered a scumbag couple, but they cannot affect her entirely. She will not allow such scumbags to participate in the second half of her life. This is the most important meaning of this lawsuit: to put an end to past grievances and then start her new life.
As usual, the judge read out a long list of legal provisions. Lan's mother and Linghu Lan listened attentively. The entire courtroom was silent, so quiet that anyone who entered would know that something important was happening.
Finally, the judge read the crucial part: "The suspect, Tang Xinyou, and Linghu Lan were roommates and best friends with a special relationship. Knowing that Linghu Lan was suffering a heart attack, Tang Xinyou deliberately failed to act, demonstrating a subjective motive to kill, and has violated the law..."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xinyou turned ashen-faced and collapsed. Fortunately, she was supported by a nearby armed police officer, preventing her from falling. However, she could no longer hear the rest of the conversation.
Linghu Lan sat in the chair and breathed a sigh of relief. It really was an attempted murder, just as she had guessed. She was extremely satisfied with this result; it was worth the hundreds of thousands of years she had spent wandering in this other world.
After listing a series of legal clauses, the judge continued, "Tang Xinyou is sentenced to five years in prison and ordered to pay the victim, Linghu Lan, 500,000 yuan in compensation for economic losses..."
Someone in the audience cried out and fainted.
Linghu Lan didn't turn around. She could tell from the voice that it was Tang Xinyou's mother. She probably never dreamed that Tang Xinyou would be sentenced to such a heavy sentence. However, whether it was more important for her to serve five years in prison or to pay 500,000 yuan in compensation was something that others didn't know.
The judge called for silence twice, and the audience fell silent. The next step was to pronounce the sentence on Xia Mingyuan: "The defendant, Xia Mingyuan, mistakenly sent a text message, which was the primary cause of the victim's heart attack. However, since it was not the defendant's subjective intention, he only bears joint liability. Therefore, according to relevant legal provisions, he is sentenced to thirty days of detention and ordered to compensate the victim for economic losses of 200,000 yuan..."
In the dock, Xia Mingyuan moved his lips but said nothing. Two hundred thousand was not a small amount, but compared to Tang Xinyou, this result was much better.
Tang Xinyou shook herself and finally came to her senses.
When the judge asked if she had any objections, her lips trembled, and she immediately shouted, "Appeal! I want to appeal! I don't accept this verdict! Why does he only have to pay 200,000 yuan, but I have to pay 500,000 yuan?"
