Chapter 37 Reversal of the Verdict: Settlement?

Chen Xue and Xiao Wang were all very indignant when they heard about this case.

They completely sided with Lu Tian. Because Lu Tian looked pitiful, and had a kind of fragile feeling that made people feel pity. And Lin Qianjie, judging from his appearance, was a real playboy.

"Is there really no way we can help Lu Tian?" Chen Xue was very angry, "Even if Lu Tian is really in love with Lin Qianjie, can he force Lu Tian to have a relationship?"

"Chen Xue, what you said is wrong. If they are really in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, then the nature is different. It is normal for boyfriends and girlfriends to have a relationship." Someone retorted.

Chen Xue became even more angry: "As long as the girl is not willing, it is considered rape! Otherwise, how can there be the crime of marital rape ?"

Mu Mian was a little annoyed by the noise of their argument. She turned her head and said, "This Lin Qianjie is not a good person!"

"Mu Mian, isn't this obvious and can be concluded?"

Mu Mian continued, "He has been involved in such lawsuits more than once. One of the victims not only lost the case, but was also sued for defamation by Lin Qianjie. In the end, the girl committed suicide by jumping off the building."

"How do you know so clearly?"

"I found it on the computer."

Chen Xue immediately rushed to Mu Mian's computer, on which was a verdict: Jiangzhou City Dongcheng District Court determined that there was insufficient evidence and rejected Shen Yuanyuan's lawsuit against Lin Qianjie for rape...

Mu Mian switched web pages again, and it was a news report.

Shen Yuanyuan suffered from online violence because of this incident, and she also needed to pay a huge amount of compensation to Lin Qianjie, otherwise she might have to go to jail. Under this double pressure of mental and economic pressure, Shen Yuanyuan committed suicide by jumping off a building.

The media publicized Shen Yuanyuan's defeat extensively, but her suicide was rarely reported by the media. Only some self-media bloggers spread it spontaneously, so the dissemination rate was very low.

Chen Xue was terrified. If they couldn't help Lu Tian, ​​then Lu Tian would most likely be the next Shen Yuanyuan.

After Fang Rui and Xiao Zhang came back, Chen Xue showed them the news about Shen Yuanyuan:

Shen Yuanyuan was a graduate student. She also met Lin Qianjie through her best friend, and the few of them had a party together. Later at a party, Lin Qianjie raped Shen Yuanyuan.

The subsequent development was very similar to Lu Tian's case. Shen Yuanyuan also sued Lin Qianjie for rape, but Lin Qianjie used a lot of evidence to prove that Shen Yuanyuan was his girlfriend.

His lawyer also provided the chat records of Shen Yuanyuan's blackmail. In the end, Shen Yuanyuan not only lost the lawsuit, but also had to pay a huge amount of compensation.

Xiao Zhang felt a chill down his spine, "This Lin Qianjie is a habitual offender!"

Fang Rui felt a bit of a headache. Under the current circumstances, unless he got the first contact evidence that Lin Qianjie raped Lu Tian, ​​Lu Tian would definitely not win the lawsuit.

The next morning, Lin Qianjie and his defense lawyer proposed to have a private mediation with Lu Tian.

The mediation took place in a private room of a hotel.

Lu Tian did not hire a lawyer. She was accompanied by Nie Yan, the prosecutor in charge of the case.

It was not that Lu Tian could not afford a lawyer, but that other lawyers in Jiangzhou City were unwilling to defend her. They told her coldly that she would not be able to win the lawsuit.

At this time, Nie Yan took the initiative to find her. Rape is a criminal case, which is usually prosecuted by the procuratorate to the people's court. Most prosecutors do not want to take over this case, but Nie Yan took the initiative to apply for the case.

Knowing that Lin Qianjie and his friends had arranged a private settlement with Lu Tian, ​​Nie Yan was afraid that Lu Tian would suffer a loss, so she came with Lu Tian.

Lin Qianjie knew Nie Yan, and when he saw her, he showed a proud smile: "Isn't this Prosecutor Nie? Didn't you lose enough last time?"

Nie Yan ignored him and went into the hotel box first.

Lin Qianjie turned to Wang Li and said, "Let's not settle with that jerk. Just like last time, sue her for defamation!"

Wang Li's expression was very serious. He pushed his glasses and said, "Ms. Jiang said it's best for us to reach a settlement."

Lin Qianjie stopped talking for a moment.

Lawyer Wang poured a cup of tea for Lu Tian and said straight to the point, "Ms. Lu, if you are willing to withdraw the lawsuit and apologize to my client publicly on the Internet, then my client is willing to pay you a million yuan breakup fee!"

Lu Tian did not hesitate and immediately refused, "I don't want money, I want Lin Qianjie, this scumbag, to be punished by law!"

Lin Qianjie crossed his legs leisurely, not caring about Lu Tian's curses at all.

"We are willing to reconcile with you, not because we are afraid of losing the case, but because we don't want to make a big deal out of it and affect the reputation of my client."

Lawyer Wang took a sip of tea, put away his smile, and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes, "Ms. Lu, I advise you to think it over carefully. You only have one chance."

"I think it over very clearly. I won't compromise." Although Lu Tian looks weak, her will is very firm. On the day she was hurt, she swore that she would definitely make Lin Qianjie, the scum, pay the price.

At this time, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open. Two elderly people came in from outside. They were Lu Tian's parents. They were all farmers and had no knowledge. They greeted Lin Qianjie and Lawyer Wang timidly.

"Lawyer Wang, our Tiantian will sign the settlement agreement. We will persuade her."

Lu's mother held Lu Tian's hand and said earnestly: "Tiantian, just reconcile with him. Don't sue anymore, let's withdraw the lawsuit. How can an ordinary family like us win the lawsuit?"

"Dad, Mom, didn't you say you would support me? I won't reconcile with him!"

"We can't win the lawsuit. Tiantian, listen to mom and reconcile with them," Lu Tian's mother hugged Lu Tian and said anxiously, "They promised to give us one million. With this one million, your brother can buy a house in the city..."

Lu's father even knelt down in front of Lu Tian, ​​"Tiantian, just reconcile."

"Mom... Dad... Why are you forcing me?"

Lu Tian was choked up, she felt like she was trapped in endless darkness. Her best friend betrayed her, even her dearest parents betrayed her, she felt like she had failed in her life.

Lawyer Wang was very satisfied with this scene, he took out the contract that had been drafted long ago and handed it to Lu Tian.

"Ms. Lu, please sign it! After you sign, we will immediately transfer one million to your card."

Lin Qianjie also looked at this scene sarcastically, in his opinion, there is nothing that money can't solve. If it doesn't work, it means the money is not in place yet.

"Tiantian, please sign it, please sign it quickly!"

Father Lu quickly brought the contract and pen to Lu Tian, ​​and urged her to sign, "That kind of thing is no big deal. When you go back to your hometown with your parents, we will definitely find a good partner for you. He won't mind these things."

Mother Lu also chimed in, "Yes, Tiantian, don't be stubborn. We will give you 200,000 of the one million, and you can use it to start a business!"

Lu Tian had a mental breakdown and cried hard. She felt like she was drowning, but she couldn't grab anything.

"Lawyer Wang, a rape case cannot be withdrawn just like that. If Lu Tian signs this contract, will you sue her for blackmail next?" Nie Yan snatched the contract away and said angrily.

"Prosecutor Nie, you've interfered too much. You should respect Miss Lu's own choice."

Nie Yan turned to look at Lu Tian and promised her: "Lu Tian, ​​if you don't want to reconcile, I will definitely help you win this case!"

Nie Yan's words gave Lu Tian a chance to breathe. Lu Tian looked at Nie Yan eagerly: "I don't want to reconcile, I don't want to!"

"Then don't reconcile."

"Prosecutor Nie, have you not learned your lesson? Wasn't it embarrassing enough that you lost the case last time?"

Lawyer Wang mocked Nie Yan, "Do you think you are helping her? You are harming her! If you had asked Miss Shen to withdraw the lawsuit, she wouldn't have committed suicide by jumping off the building. Do you want Miss Lu to commit suicide in front of you as well?" Nie

Yan was so angry that her hands were shaking. She said viciously, Staring at Lin Qianjie and Lawyer Wang, "If you do too many bad things, you will get retribution sooner or later!"

Lu Tian held Nie Yan's hand, "Nie Yan, I believe you. Let's go!"

Nie Yan took Lu Tian out of the box. Behind them, they could hear the pleading voices of Lu's father and mother: "Tiantian, why are you so stubborn? This is one million. How can you just say no?"

"Tiantian, just listen to your daddy this time. Daddy is kneeling down to beg you!"

Lu Tian ignored her parents. From the moment her parents forced her to sign, she decided to cut off relations with them.

"Nieyan, aren't you afraid of offending them by helping me like this? Lin Qianjie's family is very powerful, will they retaliate against you?"

Nieyan looked at Lu Tian, ​​and through her, she saw another weak but determined girl.

Nieyan said, "I don't want to see another you. I want to bring that Lin Qianjie to justice."

Nieyan was once in charge of Shen Yuanyuan's case. She lost the case, and Shen Yuanyuan lost her life. She didn't want the tragedy to happen again.

Lin Qianjie watched Lu Tian leave, turned to Lawyer Wang and said, "Since they refuse to accept my toast, let them suffer. This time, I will not only sue Lu Tian, ​​but also ruin Nie Yan's reputation!"

Lawyer Wang rolled his eyes at Lin Qianjie and said, "Ms. Jiang only asked me to help you win this lawsuit, she didn't ask me to do anything else."

"Don't worry, I won't let you work in vain, I will give you another sum of money."

Lawyer Wang smiled with satisfaction, "That Nie Yan has been against me again and again, and I have wanted to deal with her for a long time. Don't worry, I will completely end her career this time."
