In a corner.
Liu Yanran's cherry-like lips parted slightly as she stared at Zhou Qin, who was giving his testimony, for a long time before turning to look at Liu Jingxian beside her. "Dad, what's going on here?"
Before they came here, they already had a general understanding of the ins and outs of this matter.
She didn't know what tricks Wang Qian was hiding, but she was certain that none of the methods her second uncle had prepared would be difficult for Wang Qian.
As for what Wang Qian's backup plan might be, she had actually been speculating about it.
But no matter how much she guessed, she never expected that Zhou Qin would turn against her.
"Amazing, truly amazing!"
Liu Jingxian shook his head and sighed, "Wang Qian actually had such a trick up his sleeve. I've always been curious about how Wang Qian and Gu Zhijian managed to escape that typhoon night and even set a trap for those two groups of thugs. Now it all makes sense."
"So Zhou Qin was Wang Qian's mole all along?"
Liu Yanran finally realized, "No wonder Wang Qian anticipated my second uncle's first move and was able to take precise countermeasures."
"Yanran, it seems you were right to extend goodwill to Wang Qian just now!"
Liu Jingxian glanced at Wang Qian in the plaintiff's seat and said with lingering fear, "This kid is really capable. He even managed to turn Zhou Qin against his own side. I wonder what methods he used?"
"I'm quite curious too."
Liu Yanran wholeheartedly agreed, saying, "After this trial, I must find out how Wang Qian did it."
...
In court.
【Ding ding ding】
Xie Jiahui struck the gavel several times, her authoritative voice resounding throughout the courtroom.
"This court once again warns that if the defendant continues to disrupt the court proceedings, this court will forcibly remove you from the courtroom and revoke your right to defense!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Jingzhong had no choice but to suppress his anger.
At this moment, defense lawyer Zhu Cheng'an raised his hand and said, "Your Honor, I have an objection!"
“Go ahead!” Xie Jiahui immediately agreed.
"Zhou Qin's testimony is entirely his own account, and I doubt it can be used as evidence to prosecute my client."
"Absolutely not!"
Xie Jiahui nodded, then looked at Zhou Qin and asked, "Besides your testimony, do you have any other evidence to prove that what you said is true?"
"have!"
Zhou Qin nodded and took out a large stack of photos from his bag. "These are photos I took on the spot, marked with specific dates and locations."
He paused, then added, "Besides the photos, I also have some video recordings that can serve as evidence."
"Bring it here!" Xie Jiahui waved her hand.
A staff member understood immediately and came to Zhou Qin, bringing the photos and videotapes to Xie Jiahui.
After careful examination by professionals, Xie Jiahui coldly looked at Liu Jingzhong in the defendant's seat and said, "The testimony and evidence provided by the plaintiff are valid. Defendant, do you have anything else to say about these accusations?"
Liu Jingzhong opened his mouth, but didn't know how to refute it.
This time, even his defense lawyer, Zhu Chengan, was speechless.
No matter how eloquent he is, he is powerless to change the situation in the face of absolute, irrefutable evidence.
"Just admit it!"
After careful consideration, he lowered his voice and said to Liu Jingzhong, "Confess now, and if you have a good attitude, I can help you get a reduced sentence."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Liu Jingzhong instantly flew into a rage, "Why should I plead guilty? Aren't you my defense lawyer? Our Liu family has spent so much money to support you, and this is how you repay us?"
Zhu Chengan's face darkened.
It turns out that Liu Jingzhong was desperate and would say anything.
"Say something!"
Liu Jingzhong said angrily, "I don't care what method you use, get me exonerated immediately, or I'll make you regret it!"
Perhaps because he was completely flustered, Liu Jingzhong did not lower his voice when he said these words, so that almost everyone in the room could hear them.
"Has Liu Jingzhong gone mad? How could he say something like that?"
"That's a sign of a guilty conscience!"
"He must have known he was doomed to die, which is why he said such illogical things."
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes filled with pity as they looked at Liu Jingzhong.
Even Liu Jingzhong's defense lawyer, Zhu Cheng'an, shrugged and said, "Since that's the case, you'll have to figure it out yourself. There's nothing I can do."
After saying that, he leaned back in his chair, looking as if it were none of his business.
Even a clay figure has three flames.
In the past few days, he has been searching all over the world for materials to help Liu Jingzhong get off the hook.
As a result, Liu Jingzhong treated him with such a terrible attitude, how could he tolerate it?
...
The trial ended shortly thereafter.
As expected, Liu Jingzhong was found guilty and sentenced to eighteen years and nine months in prison.
In addition, two large sums of compensation will be required.
First, because he broke Gu Zhijian's leg a few years ago, resulting in a level seven disability, the total compensation required is as high as 134,000 yuan.
Secondly, because of the damage to Wang Qian's company's reputation and the damage caused to the dormitory building by hiring thugs, a total of 739,000 yuan in compensation is required to be paid to Wang Qian.
In this contest, Liu Jingzhong not only lost money and reputation, but also ruined his own life.
For Liu Jingzhong, who is already over fifty years old, an eighteen-year and nine-month sentence is not much different from a life sentence.
When the verdict was announced, Liu Jingzhong had gone mad and cursed everyone present.
First, they scolded Zhou Qin for being ungrateful and a heartless ingrate.
He then accused Wang Qian of being despicable, insidious, and using vicious methods.
