Chapter 141 You finally know that Qin Jiahuai is good to you
Sang Xun smiled and looked at Chu Yao: "When you first asked him to help you with the lawsuit for compensation for New Horizons, did he refuse you?"
Chu Yao's eyes instantly turned colder, and she nodded: "Yes."
She was angry with Qin Jiahuai for a long time because of this matter.
I still feel a little angry when I think about it now!
That day, I came over and was affectionate with her under the influence of alcohol.
It's over and he turned his back on me!
Sang Xun said, "But he actually asked me to make time for you and take your case before you even asked him for help."
Chu Yao was stunned: "Did he ask you to help me?"
Sang Xun smiled: "Yes, otherwise, I wouldn't take on such a time-consuming and small-amount case."
He raised the information about Zhang Rui's crime in his hand.
"Also, this time, although he couldn't directly defend you, he personally handed me all the key information about the defendant. I'm working to ensure that those who bullied you receive the death penalty immediately."
Chu Yao was stunned for a long time, and murmured, "So that's how it is."
Sang Xun nodded: "So when you get married, you must choose someone who is good to you. Even if they don't love you anymore, they will still fulfill their responsibilities to you."
Even if I don’t love you anymore…
Chu Yao's back stiffened for a moment, and she asked tentatively, "Did he tell you in person that he no longer loves me?"
Sang Xun shook his head: "He is very tight-lipped and won't say anything. I guessed it myself."
"At first I thought you two loved each other very much, but broke up because of your different standpoints."
"But then I realized Qin Jiahuai was so arrogant. The Luan family and he were checking each other, so they couldn't interfere with his decisions at all. So it's not that the feelings have faded and only the responsibility remains, or what else?"
After Sang Xun said this, he didn't hear Chu Yao's response for a long time.
He turned around and saw Chu Yao with her head down, her whole body shrouded in a low mood.
He realized that he seemed to have said something wrong and immediately changed his words: "I don't know the details of your relationship, I'm just guessing!"
He suddenly thought of a divorce case he had just handled. In that case, the man loved his wife very much, but had to divorce... because he became impotent after a car accident.
Sang Xun comforted Chu Yao according to that idea.
"Think positively. Maybe he loves you very much, but something happened to him that made him lose his virility, so he had to leave the marriage."
Chu Yao's heart sank: "That absolutely cannot be the reason."
But she didn't have time to think about these things now, as she was about to go to court.
She took a deep breath. "I'm so nervous. This is my second time in court as a plaintiff. Last time, I sued the Luan family. I had no power, but I sued the deputy mayor's son, and I actually won. I wonder if I'll be as lucky this time."
Sang Xun was also unsure, but he still comforted Chu Yao: "You don't have to worry too much. Even if the death penalty is not possible, at least he will have to serve a minimum of 20 years."
Today's three judges were all promoted when Mayor Luan was in office.
But even if they are biased, nothing can be done so unscrupulously in a society ruled by law.
He also called several young celebrities who had been bullied by Zhang Rui before to serve as witnesses.
Now that there is evidence, Zhang Rui cannot escape guilt.
I'm afraid that because of the Luan family's connections, the sentence won't be too severe...
Finally, it was time to go to court.
Chu Yao went in and sat in the plaintiff's seat.
Zhang Rui, sitting in the defendant's seat, was unscrupulous and even made an ambiguous expression towards Chu Yao.
He has consulted his lawyer, and he was told that his crime was only attempted and could not be sentenced to death.
Although going to jail is inevitable, he can easily get some advice in prison and get out in a few years.
He is very familiar with this process.
Soon, the trial began.
Chu Yao's chain of evidence is very complete.
The victim's statement, witness testimony, physical evidence, documentary evidence, and the hospital's injury assessment opinion were submitted one by one.
Several actresses who had been raped and sexually abused by Zhang Rui were also present.
The lawyers on both sides exchanged verbal attacks for the entire morning.
Until both sides have no new arguments.
After some study, the presiding judge read out the verdict with a serious expression.
"Defendant Zhang Rui, this court believes that you have extremely malicious intentions and cruel means in committing crimes. You have seriously violated others' right to life, sexual autonomy, and social order. You are a repeat offender and have shown no remorse.
"According to Articles 69 and 57 of the Criminal Law, although the intentional homicide you committed did not result in death, considering the aggravating circumstances of rape and your status as a repeat offender, you are sentenced to death and deprived of your political rights for life!
"If you disagree with the verdict, you can appeal to the High People's Court within ten days."
After the reading was completed, the courtroom was as if paused and extremely quiet.
The silence was not broken until Zhang Rui reacted.
He pointed at Chu Yao in disbelief and yelled, "She's not dead, they're not dead, why do you sentence me to death? I didn't kill anyone, why do I have to pay with my life?"
The bailiff warned him to keep quiet and led him out.
Chu Yao slowly came back to her senses, and a surge of blood surged from the bottom of her heart, making her whole body hot and numb.
She turned around and looked at the other witnesses.
death penalty!
He was actually sentenced to death! Not suspended death penalty!
Those who bullied us paid the price with their lives!
Many of the victims also cried with joy, especially the actress who was recently scolded by the whole network because of Zhang Rui’s slander, who covered her face and cried.
Chu Yao looked towards the audience again.
She saw Qin Jiahuai sitting upright in his seat at a glance.
He was here the whole time, quietly accompanying her.
He was dressed in a neat suit, with handsome and dignified features, calm and reserved. He looked at her with a calm and deep gaze, with a barely perceptible smile, as if he was also happy that she had gotten justice.
She suddenly remembered the boy ten years ago, who held her hand and told her that she finally knew how to seek justice for herself.
And now, his gaze was exactly the same as it was then.
The handsome boy and the tough man, separated by time, seemed to merge together at this moment.
-
When she came out of the court, Qin Jiahuai was already waiting for her at the exit.
He stood there, his posture upright and his expression calm.
Chu Yao walked up to him and she really wanted to hug him.
She thought so...and did it.
She wrapped her arms around his thin waist, buried her face in his chest, and listened quietly to his heartbeat.
A hug is far warmer than any other intimate gesture.
Ten years ago, at his house, she wanted to hug him, but she didn't dare at that time.
At this moment, she felt him raise his hand, but he didn't hug her back.
Chu Yao's heart was beating fast, and she was afraid that he would press her head and push her away... He usually liked to do this.
But this time, he didn't.
His hand fell on the top of her head, rubbing it soothingly, and then he hugged her tightly.
His embrace is still as broad and warm as it was back then.
There are some differences.
17-year-old Qin Jiahuai is a test.
27-year-old Qin Jiahuai is the leader.
