Upon hearing this, the presiding judge turned to look at the plaintiff.
"Plaintiff's lawyer, based on the evidence and witness testimonies, the court will reject your claim. Do you have anything else to say? If not, this case ends here."
Since Xingtu provided real and effective market opinion data research, it proves that Wanxia's reputation collapse has nothing to do with Wanxia.
Therefore, this lawsuit was foreseeable.
Attorney Qian puffed out his chest, thoroughly enjoying the case in which he defeated Zhang Donglai.
Everyone says that Zhang Donglai is the most talented young lawyer in Shanghai's legal profession.
He doesn't think so.
The reason he is the youngest genius lawyer is because the cases he takes on are all exceptionally good.
Attorney Qian felt that if he were in Zhang Donglai's shoes, he would do even better, and could even achieve a success rate of over 95%.
The live stream chat was filled with comments arranged in a single line, all in a manner that was expected.
"It's an inevitable trend. The long-haired defendant is right. This is an inevitable trend. The inaction of the sunset industry has led to their reputation collapsing."
"That's right. After Li Zhaoyang was banned, there was no subsequent incident of picking stars. The sunset is still the same sunset, and there will be no impact."
"You can only say that you reaped what you sowed."
"After losing this lawsuit, Li Zhaoyang probably won't cause any more trouble, right?"
"That's hard to say. With all his shady tactics, he might still be causing trouble online even after losing the case."
The atmosphere in the live stream gradually changed as the plaintiff's lawyer stepped forward.
Everyone watching the live stream could see lawyer Zhang Donglai raise his hand to speak.
"I need to provide evidence."
"The plaintiff's lawyers are permitted to present evidence." The presiding judge's tone was devoid of any emotion.
I picked up the stack of documents on the table.
These files are categorized in many ways.
Apart from pre-printed screenshots, the video and audio recordings were stored in a file folder on a USB drive.
Zhang Donglai's smile appeared at this moment, and the revelation began.
"These files contain chat screenshots, crime videos, crime recordings, etc."
Zhang Donglai handed the documents and files to the relevant staff.
These staff members opened them one after another.
At first, I was a little confused about those chat screenshots.
Without seeing the whole story, going straight to the screenshots of Qin Yi and his group chat will definitely be confusing.
While the presiding judge waited, he gestured to the relevant staff to insert the USB drive into the laptop and project it onto the screen.
"Notice!"
Zhang Donglai loudly reminded, "Publicly reviewing this evidence would cause strong dissatisfaction from the defendant and could even trigger social unrest and panic. I urge the presiding judge to think carefully before proceeding."
After giving the reminder, Zhang Donglai sat back down in the plaintiff's seat.
Because he knew that the trial was being held via live webcast.
At this moment, the most frequent comments in the live stream were like this: "This kind of lawyer who creates a tense atmosphere is disgusting. He is just like his client, Li Zhaoyang. Let's finish this lawsuit as soon as possible. I never want to see or hear the words related to Li Zhaoyang again."
After being reminded by the plaintiff's lawyer, the presiding judge pondered for a moment before striking the gavel: "You are permitted to directly review all the evidence of the crime."
"What's going on..." Zhang Donglai had made the atmosphere mysterious. Chen Tianyi frowned, lowered his voice, and looked at Qin Fei.
Qin Fei stared at Qin Yi again.
Qin Yi shook his head, his eyes filled with determination; he was absolutely certain that no evidence would leak out.
After receiving a definite answer, Qin Fei looked at the director and nodded in affirmation.
Chen Tianyi breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing his secretary's actions.
He was certain that he would not leave any evidence against himself.
If there's any leverage, it's that the secretary's younger brother has a problem.
Since there are no problems with the secretary's brother, then it's not a particularly serious issue.
"What's going on? Why are you being so mysterious?" The CEO of Starway narrowed his eyes into slits.
“Creating a tense atmosphere is a common tactic used by lawyers,” said a manager at Starway.
If it were just the first half of the sentence, these executives at Starway would actually be a little panicked.
After hearing the plaintiff's lawyer say the second half, I felt reassured.
What kind of criminal evidence would trigger social unrest?
This is not a major or serious criminal case.
The evidence of the crime was slowly unfolded under the watchful eyes of Li Zhaoyang and Zhao Shanshan, who were several meters apart.
After the USB drive was plugged into the work laptop, all the evidence was displayed on the large screen in the courtroom.
The first thing shown is a chat screenshot.
This chat screenshot shows the entire process of Qin Yi greeting the masked girl and the others in the group.
It's clear that they are deliberately and aggressively inciting their fans to engage with Li Zhaoyang offline.
Their plan also included denouncing the sunset.
After the chat logs were released, many people's expressions changed.
On the defendant's side.
Chen Tianyi, Zhao Shanshan, Qin Fei, and the others frowned and stared intently at Qin Yi.
Qin Yi looked completely innocent.
This is where an individual's adaptability comes into play.
As the reporter in the media yesterday, the girl in the mask reacted the fastest: "After the video was leaked, we felt sorry for Goddess Shanshan and wanted to ask for an explanation for her. It was reasonable. Moreover, we did not do anything inappropriate. We were just standing outside the gate of Wanxia."
After seeing the chat log, Attorney Qian initially felt something was amiss, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and argued, "Your Honor, this is a common spontaneous act of fans protecting their idols in the music industry and does not constitute a crime."
As all the chat logs were exposed, Attorney Qian's words gradually took a turn for the worse.
Because the conversation had already touched on topics such as the name and compensation of the music director at Starway Music, it was a very sensitive topic in this public opinion environment.
"I protest!" After reviewing the chat logs, Attorney Qian realized that these screenshots were detrimental to their case and quickly retorted, "A few chat screenshots prove nothing and cannot be used as evidence in court!"
"Protest valid." The presiding judge struck the gavel, staring at Zhang Donglai: "Plaintiff's lawyer, please provide direct and valid evidence!"
"It's not over yet, please continue reading, Your Honor." Zhang Donglai gestured for the staff member to scroll down.
The staff member responsible for reviewing the evidence then looked somewhat surprised.
Next, a video will be played.
The video has audio, starting from the very beginning when Chen Tianyi sexually harassed Zhao Shanshan.
It's not really a hidden rule.
It was all a matter of mutual consent, with each party getting what they wanted.
The whole affair of falsely accusing Li Zhaoyang of being innocent began here.
It was instigated by Chen Tianyi.
The following videos reveal the "Yu Yu Syndrome" persona, the fabricated psychological report on Yu Yu Syndrome, and the fact that Zhao Shanshan pretended to bump into Li Zhaoyang, which was actually part of a scheme.
The next video shows her with He Fu in the chat group with Qin Yi, dividing the spoils in a coffee shop.
Although it's not that the transfer couldn't be traced, now that we know they transacted in cash, things are much easier.
Checking whether Chen Tianyi has recently withdrawn more than 100,000 yuan in cash will match the video.
The subsequent recordings will be even more intuitive.
After listening to all the recordings, they matched up with the videos.
Everything was orchestrated by Chen Tianyi and Zhao Shanshan, which led to the subsequent wave of public attention.
This surprised the viewers in the live stream.
"What? You're using Li Zhaoyang's innocence to spread rumors about him? What's the point?"
"Damn, this evidence, is it fabricated? It looks so real and clear, it's too suspicious."
"Who would risk their virginity and innocence of over twenty years to spread rumors? That damned Li Zhaoyang should just get out of the Chinese music scene. He's not afraid of going to jail for fabricating evidence. He's disgusting me so much that my stomach cramps!"
“I also think it’s fabricated. If they really directed and acted it themselves, they certainly wouldn’t have been caught red-handed. Even if they were caught red-handed, these videos would at least be secretly filmed. Look at the angles of those videos; they shouldn’t be too outrageous.”
"So that's why Li Zhaoyang staged this lawsuit drama; it turns out he had prepared it in advance."
"Damn, he's capable of anything. Isn't Li Zhaoyang afraid of landing himself in jail?"
"Yeah, fabricating evidence is a crime in itself. Wouldn't it be better to just stay out of the music industry and do something outrageous? Why do you have to pull off this crazy stunt?"
"Do you expect these disgraced celebrities to do things honestly and conscientiously? That's wishful thinking."
Because this evidence is so comprehensive, whether it's audio recordings, videos, or chat screenshots, it gives the illusion of being too complete.
