Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

Lin Xi asked with a puzzled look on his face: "You are testifying? You are not at the scene, so what testify? According to Xiangjiang law, in criminal proceedings, perjury will be punished!"

Xia Xinyi's eyes were already covered with mist, she bit her lip gently and whispered: "Lawyer Lin, when Lin Yan was almost sexually assaulted by Xu Xiaohu for the first time, I was at the scene..."

"Since you are at the scene, why are you not willing to come forward until now? Isn't Lin Yan your best friend?" Lin Xi looked at Xia Xinyi more and more puzzled.

Xia Xinyi tried hard to control her emotions, and after a long time she said with a trembling voice: "Lawyer Lin, because an hour before Lin Yan went to Bei'an Commune, I was insulted in the same way by my uncle and nephew from the Xu family. The difference is that no one came. help me……"

Lin Xi's whole body suddenly froze, and the shock in her heart was indescribable. Lin Xi, who was born in a wealthy family, could not imagine how such inhuman ugliness could be frequently performed in a remote and remote area like North Bank Commune!

After Lin Xi was silent for a long time, she asked softly: "Xia Xinyi, have you thought about it? Do you really want to testify in court?"

Xia Xinyi's weak eyes showed a hint of perseverance, and she nodded and said, "Lawyer Lin, I've thought about it! Maybe I can't make Xu Mingyuan, a beast, pay the price he deserves, and I can't even help Lin Yan and Yang Mo. But I still want to stand up and tell the truth about that year..."

"Okay! Now that you have decided, I will immediately submit new witnesses to the court. Thank you, Xia Xinyi!" Lin Xi said with a solemn expression.

After a brief adjournment, the trial continued.

Lin Xi stood up first and said: "Your Honor, we temporarily request a new witness to appear in court to testify!"

Luo Yuanshan immediately stood up and said: "I object! Your Honor, according to Xiangjiang law, criminal litigation cases need to provide a list of witnesses five days before the trial. If the parties apply for witnesses to appear in court to testify, they should submit an application to appear in court within the time limit for producing evidence! "

Lin Xi argued: "Your Honor, important witnesses in criminal proceedings can be temporarily brought to court at the court's discretion. The new witness we proposed has been temporarily decided to appear in court to testify. Her testimony will make the facts of this case clearer. I sincerely ask the court to agree to the defense." Fang Xin’s witness appears in court!”

Luo Yuanshan was about to stop him with words, but Yang Mo, who was standing in the dock, suddenly said: "Your Honor, I don't agree with new witnesses temporarily appearing in court to testify!"

The whole audience was stunned. The defendant and the attorney actually had different opinions on inviting new witnesses?Luo Yuanshan showed a look of gloating and no longer objected...

The presiding judge was a little stunned and then said: "In view of the disagreement between the defendant and the attorney, new witnesses will be suspended from appearing to testify, and the trial will continue!"

Lin Xi pondered for a moment and then said: "Your Honor, the decision to invite new witnesses was made hastily and without time to communicate with the defendant. We request another adjournment for 15 minutes..."

Even the presiding judge was full of curiosity about this new witness and nodded in agreement with Lin Xi's request to adjourn the trial.

"Mr. Yang, Xia Xinyi's testimony is very important to the characterization of this case! Why do you object?" Lin Xi asked in confusion after gesturing everyone except Xia Xinyi to leave the lounge.

Yang Mo looked at Xia Xinyi, and those unbearable past events suddenly appeared in front of him. Yang Mo's emotions were gradually out of control, with a complicated look on his face and he said: "Xia Xinyi, you can't testify in court! Even if I really can't clean myself up, You are innocent, and I won’t allow you to involve yourself..."

"Do you know what I'm going to say in court? How do you know?" Xia Xinyi asked softly as her eyes began to become misty again.

Yang Mo shook his head and said: "Xia Xinyi, I don't know what you are going to say in court, but as long as you are here, it must be a long-lasting past. Promise me! Don't say it. It has been 17 years, no matter it is an era that is unbearable to look back on. , or the current law, cannot give you the justice you want, let alone wash away the insult imposed on you by the times. You are only 35 years old, and you are already the youngest and most promising female scientist in the metallurgical system. Don’t let this be unbearable to look back on. The past has become a shackles in your heart!"

Big tears fell from the corners of Xia Xinyi's eyes, and she said with a sad expression: "I have never expected any justice, Yang Mo. I was not completely relieved until I decided to testify in court. This was forced on me by that ridiculous era. Humiliation, I shouldn’t escape, and I don’t want to escape anymore!”

"Xia Xinyi! This matter has already implicated many people. Lin Yan and Zhong Haitao have been involved in these grievances. I don't want you to get involved again. Rumors are a sharp blade that kills people without blood. Your parents and relatives are still involved. Chen Jun who is preparing to get married to you will be shocked..." Yang Mo said in a deep voice.

Xia Xinyi had tears in her eyes and looked at Lin Xi with pleading eyes...

"Yang Mo, you can't be motivated! Xia Xinyi's testimony in court can change the court and jury's characterization of this case. As your defense lawyer, I have the responsibility to remind you that Luo Yuanshan has no bottom line, and he will do his best next Spoil Lin Yan with whatever you can, once the characterization of kidnapping and rape is overturned, you will face extremely serious consequences!" Lin Xi persuaded her hard.

"He dares! I will make him pay a heavy price!" Yang Mo said coldly.

Lin Xi said without giving in: "As long as I am still your attorney, I will fight for your maximum rights within the legal framework. Since Xia Xinyi is willing to appear in court to testify, I will definitely submit new witnesses to the court!"

Yang Mo completely lost control of his emotions and shouted: "You are a lawyer, not a lawyer like Luo Yuanshan who does everything possible! Xia Xinyi will get married in a few months. She has her own life, why? Are you going to involve her?"

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment. He couldn't understand why Yang Mo had such a big reaction?Yang Mo's words made her feel bruised and bruised, and her grievances and unwillingness came flooding back.

After a while, Lin Xi calmed down and said word by word: "Yang Mo! After I entered the profession, a senior legal officer told me that lawyers are often litigators who are familiar with the law. In law, Under the framework, it is a lawyer's professional rule to fight for the maximum rights for the client. As long as you do not terminate the agency agreement with me for one day, I have the right to use all resources to fight for your legitimate rights and interests!"

Without waiting for Yang Mo to reply, Lin Xi continued to choke and said: "Mr. Yang Mo, as the largest shareholder of Zhiyuan Group, please consider the interests of the group. The outcome of this criminal lawsuit is related to the fate of Zhiyuan Group and hundreds of thousands of people." Regarding the future of our employees, put away your whims and affection, your cowardice and evasion will make Lin Yan and Xia Xinyi’s efforts meaningless!"
