Cheng Yan watched his back, but didn't dare to look any further, when the lawyer's voice sounded beside him.

"Presiding Judge, I would like to summon our last witness to testify in court."

Cheng Yan clenched his fist and closed his eyes lightly.

The lawyer talked with Cheng Yan's mother in person, and it was very regrettable to find that after she was hit by a car many years ago, her mind was indeed not very good.

Cheng Qing, on the contrary, was able to express clearly in the conversation with the lawyer.

Cheng Yan resolutely disagreed with his sister testifying in court. This matter received too much attention. If anyone appeared in court, if the photo spread, it would have a great impact on his future life.

That's all for Feng Sujuan, but Cheng Qing is still a minor and still in school, so he doesn't need to ask his sister to take such a risk!

But this time, Cheng Qing, who has always been timid and cowardly, was extremely persistent. After hearing the lawyer say that it would be better to appear in court in person, she almost stubbornly refused to let go and asked to appear in court in person.

The lawyer also communicated with the court, and specifically applied for not being in court for live broadcast, and the legal media that was allowed to film also made a promise to mosaic the minors when they released the court trial video in the future.

Cheng Yan's repeated dissuasion was ineffective, and he repeatedly confirmed his sister's testimony with the lawyer, and then he reluctantly agreed to her appearance in court.

Lin Liekai, who had just returned to the auditorium, captured Cheng Yan's expression at that moment, frowned and asked Lawyer Liu beside him: "Is there any problem?"

Lawyer Liu nodded and said in a low voice: "It's definitely no problem. We have repeatedly confirmed with his lawyer in private, and I personally counseled their defense direction."

Cheng Qing was already standing on the witness stand. She was wearing a plain school uniform, even the smallest size, but she still couldn't hold up the clothes. She didn't look slender and thin like a girl, but she looked like a skinny girl caused by malnutrition. lonely.

There was silence in the courtroom.

"That day, my stepdad was drunk outside, and when he got home, he went berserk, grabbed my mother, beat her, hit her head, hit the wall, my mother fell, and he hit the ground... "Cheng Qing began to narrate in a low voice, his voice was thin, and he didn't dare to look at Li Daqiang who was in the plaintiff's seat.

Li Daqiang was in a hurry, a bad premonition popped up suddenly, he opened his mouth and called: "Judge, their family is all ungrateful bastards, this little bitch is just like her brother, she is very bad, and she can't listen to her." !"

The presiding judge was impatient this time, and slammed the gavel: "Quiet! The plaintiff, I warn you, if you continue to abuse witnesses and disrupt court discipline, I can order you to leave the court!"

He turned to Cheng Qing: "You continue."

Cheng Qing nodded: "Later, my mother was beaten and passed out by him. I saw the blood on my mother's face and was so frightened that I called my brother."

Cheng Yan's lawyer took over the conversation: "At this point in time, we have physical evidence. Among the audio-visual materials submitted to the court, there are tidbits of the contestants' life filmed by the TV station that day, and there is a scene of Cheng Yan receiving a call from his sister at this time. It wasn’t on the show, but it was in the original material.”

This point is especially crucial, it proves that Cheng Yan was called away temporarily by his sister, and it was not intentional in advance!

The presiding judge nodded: "The witness can continue."

"Then my brother came back ... and saw my mother lying on the ground."

Cheng Yan's lawyer nodded, followed the pre-arranged questioning, and interjected lightly: "Then he had a serious conflict with your stepfather Li Daqiang, didn't he?"

Tears slowly welled up in Cheng Qing's eyes, and she paused for a while in a daze: "I...I..."

She paused, holding her hands tightly, and opened her mouth. She didn't speak for a long time.

The courtroom went from quiet to mild commotion, and some people began to lower their voices and whisper, what's wrong with this little sister?

Cheng Qing finally opened his mouth tremblingly: "No... there are other things."

Cheng Yan's scalp exploded suddenly, and in an instant, he guessed something, couldn't help but blurted out: "Wait a minute!"

He bowed his head in shock and asked the lawyer in a low voice: "What's going on? Didn't you say it's okay not to talk about it?"

The lawyer was also dumbfounded: "No, didn't we explain it over and over again, so doesn't she need to say this part?"

When they testified with Cheng Qing before, they all reached a consensus: Cheng Yan fought because he saw Li Daqiang molesting his sister.

"I'm sorry, I, I've thought about it for a long time, and I have something to say...to the judges in the court." Cheng Qing's voice was as soft as a breeze, his lips turned white from being bitten by himself, and he only lowered his head, "Let me tell you, I'm not afraid."

Cheng Yan was restless and anxious. At this time, the presiding judge had already asked: "Defendant and defendant's lawyer, what objection do you have?"

Cheng Yan glanced out of the corner of his eye, and was almost furious: Many of those bystanders had quietly raised their mobile phones, and filming was prohibited in name, but who can really completely prohibit such sneaky and covert activities?He could almost conclude that Cheng Qing's face might be posted online soon.

If he really said anything else, what would happen to Cheng Qing's privacy!

He gritted his teeth and blurted out: "Judge, we have decided not to ask her to attend! Please terminate her testimony immediately!"

Lin Liekai's face was also gloomy.He glanced behind him lightly, then stood up suddenly, and walked out of the court room without a sound.

Standing in the corridor, he quickly dialed a phone number: "Hurry up, to protect the privacy of minor witnesses, request Weibo and related forums, withdraw as soon as possible, if you can't withdraw, smear his sister's face Mosaic! Don’t follow the normal procedure, find a relationship!”

In the court, Cheng Qing raised her head. Her eyes were as big and dark as Cheng Yan's. Although there was a trace of timidity inside, she also had the courage accumulated for many days.

"If... If I'm not asked to speak here, I'll tell the reporters outside."

Lin Liekai just came back from the outside, he was slightly taken aback when he heard her words.She really deserves to be Cheng Yan's younger sister, her stubbornness seems to be carved out of the same mold as her brother's!

Cheng Qing looked at his brother, and tears slowly appeared in his eyes: "I have checked some laws these days, and I have thought about it for a long time. We are victims, and we are not wrong. Why are we hiding? ?..."

Cheng Yan, who had been quiet and calm all this time, hissed out at this moment: "Xiaoqing, shut up! Get down quickly!"

His voice was urgent and hoarse, and it was no longer clear. In his heart, he had already fully guessed what his sister was going to say, no, no!

He raised his head and looked at the presiding judge in despair: "Comrade judge, please, tell my sister to go down, I, I plead guilty!"

There was a sudden uproar inside and outside the court!

What, did they hear wrong?Cheng Yan, who has always been tough and refused to plead guilty, now says he wants to plead guilty?Does he understand what this means?

Lin Liekai raised his thick eyebrows suddenly, couldn't bear the rage, and almost jumped up. Fortunately, the lawyer Liu beside him pressed him quietly, and he managed to hold it back, but his heart was extremely anxious.

Off the court, on the Chaohua Square, which has been refreshed all the time, the onlookers are going crazy: What's going on?In the end what happened?

What's the matter?

Everyone is sympathizing with him, so he suddenly said that he wanted to plead guilty? ?

[What happened, I just went to the toilet, did I miss any important progress? 】

【Yeah, I was just soaking in noodles, what the hell is this sudden change in style? 】

[Ah, look what I brushed out?This photo of Young Master Lin has a really strange expression!As if he wanted to jump up and make a scene in the courtroom, I wondered, what kind of relationship does he have with Cheng Yan? 】

……

The presiding judge had no choice but to hit the hammer hard again to suppress the noise in the court. He was about to speak with a headache when Cheng Qing finally spoke quietly on the witness stand.

"If I don't go out, I want to say it. If I don't say it, these things will pass like this, right?" Her face was as white as paper, her lips were trembling, "Actually, at that time, I was taking a bath... ...My stepdad rushed into the bathroom, and while my mother was unconscious, he, he was touching me."

Her voice was very small and soft, and under extreme shame and fear, some of her words were close to whispering, but the entire court listened to her with bated breath. This groundbreaking passage clearly reached everyone's ears.

The whole court could hear the needle drop, and Cheng Yan finally lowered his head dejectedly when he heard the words that came out of her mouth.

"She's talking nonsense! I'm drunk, I don't remember anything, she's spreading rumors!" Li Daqiang yelled hoarsely, "She's just like her mother, she's a little vixen! She wears less clothes to seduce men..."

Cheng Qing covered her mouth violently, big drops of tears began to roll down, she couldn't speak anymore, she shook her head frantically, and finally cried out bitterly.

Cheng Yan, who was standing there quietly, suddenly screamed, "Bastard, you are not human!"

Enraged, he suddenly pushed the defendant's door in front of him, as if he wanted to rush towards Li Daqiang.

Ahhh!The court was in chaos, and countless reporters no longer cared about covering up, stood up agitatedly, and started secretly filming frantically.

The bailiff next to Cheng Yan was blindsided, and quickly blocked it with quick eyesight and hands, tightly grasping Cheng Yan's arms, and forcibly pulled him back: "Hey, defendant, don't mess around!"

This kid, really... Although they wanted to hit someone after hearing this, they couldn't beat them in public!

Cheng Yan was held by the bailiff's arm, unable to break free, and finally calmed down slowly, closing his eyes.

The moment he closed his eyes, his long eyelashes helplessly covered his eyelids, and a ray of sunlight came in from the high window of the courtroom, shining on his almost transparent white face, expressionless, and his tall and straight silhouette was full of powerlessness.

A reporter got close, quietly raised his hand, and silently took pictures of this scene.

He had just secretly passed the photo to his colleagues outside, when he looked up, he was met with a pair of dark and violent eyes, staring at him with murderous intent!

The reporter trembled all over and almost dropped the phone.Emma, ​​how could this Young Master Lin attack him indiscriminately? He didn't take some ugly photos. Such a beautiful photo should be sent out to gain sympathy, okay?

Why does this guy look like he wants to kill him?

"Silence, everyone is silent!" The presiding judge slammed the hammer helplessly, feeling powerless in his heart--it has been many years, and he has never seen such a chaotic scene. If there were not too many media, he would have wanted to be there on the spot Go crazy, yes, scold the plaintiff!

The court gradually became quiet again, and only Cheng Qing could be heard crying in pain. Just when the presiding judge wanted to comfort her, Cheng Qing reached out to wipe away his tears and raised his head again.

"Uncle judge, I haven't finished yet." Her small face was a little numb, and she was a little desperate, "My brother only fought with him after seeing his behavior to me. At that time, my stepfather was holding a kitchen knife. I was afraid to cut us down, so I stabbed him with a fruit knife first, and my brother stabbed him with a fruit knife to protect me."

Although her voice was trembling, her speed was getting faster and faster, and the words that lingered in her heart countless times spewed out: "I don't understand what you are talking about, and I don't understand what the law is. But I heard from the lawyer that I Brother stabbed that person a second time, this second time...isn't it necessary?"

Her big eyes were slightly swollen, and she looked desperately at everyone in the court: "But why is it not necessary?... I don't understand. If you don't stab him thoroughly, he will kill us! When I was seven or eight years old... I just touched me, and for so many years, no one came to save me, no one came to save my mother, and no one cared about him."

Her thin voice echoed inside and outside the court: "Finally one day, my brother said that he has grown up, and from now on, he will protect my mother and me."

She pointed at Cheng Yan who was standing upright there, exhausted all her strength, and asked in a trembling voice: "The first time my brother stood up to protect us, his ribs were broken and he was submerged into pneumonia. The second time When my brother stood up, he finally did it... But now, you say he should go to jail?"

In the entire court, no one spoke, even the presiding judge was silent, with his lips tightly pressed together.

Li Daqiang looked around in a little panic, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.

"I... nothing, no evidence!" He was incoherent, and he began to regret a little: If he knew it, he wouldn't have sued him, how dare this little bitch say this in front of so many people!

Lin Liekai, who was sitting in the first row, twitched the muscles on his face and stood up suddenly.

He straightened his body like lightning, and rushed to Li Daqiang in a few steps at a speed that no one could see clearly.

Under everyone's stunned gaze, in front of countless media cameras, without any warning, he suddenly punched Li Daqiang hard in the side: "Go to hell, scum!"

The bailiff just stared at Cheng Yan, no one would have thought that there was still this bomb, when Lin Liekai succeeded in punching, Li Daqiang had a nosebleed on his face, and collapsed with howls.

Lin Liekai was condescending, and grabbed his collar. Amidst the exclamation, a trace of violence appeared on his handsome face, and he punched him down: "This is also an unnecessary second blow, come and tell me!" Father!"

……

"Explosive news! Lin Liekai, the young owner of the Lin Group, went crazy in court and beat people on the spot!!!"

"The scumbag plaintiff has blood on his face, crying and splashing on the spot!"

"The courtroom was in chaos, Cheng Yan was shocked, the bailiff held down Young Master Lin, and the presiding judge angrily knocked on the gavel!"

"The latest development, Young Master Lin was expelled from the court by the presiding judge on the spot!!"

As various media spread the news like crazy, Weibo, forums, and even the headlines of major news websites began to push the latest court progress.

A few seconds after Lin Liekai was expelled from the court, a reporter who was not afraid of death secretly followed him out of the court and took a photo.

With a handsome face and a pair of bright eyes that were icy cold, he stared at the reporter's camera, through the frighteningly shaking animation, murderous.

The reporter broke the jar anyway, so he added a sentence to the photo: "What are you looking at? Look at me and kill you!"

The tense, sad and angry atmosphere outside suddenly changed.

[2333333, Young Master Lin was kicked out?Isn't someone so rich and powerful not worthy of having a seat in the auditorium? 】

[Hey, my husband is so handsome when he hits someone with a ferocious face, A blast! 】

[Good fight ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!Seeing him throwing a fist, I screamed in my heart!Just kill that scumbag and domestic violence man! 】

[I'm a fan, I'm a fan, from today on, don't hate the rich, love Lin Shao! 】

【Damn it, I usually hate violent men the most, but today my young master Lin made me die...】

There is also a small amount of beeping sound:

[These gold-worshiping Jurchens have double standards, hehe, an ugly man who beats someone is called a violent maniac, and a handsome guy who beats someone is called a handsome man, vomit~~~]

[Relying on money, how dare you beat someone in court, do you really think the court was opened by their rich people? 】

This voice didn't come out for a few seconds before it was bombarded by overwhelming female netizens:

[Onlookers are idiots, live. 】

[The man with wires can see clearly, this is called 'beating animals', not 'beating people', please shut up if you are blind. 】

[Dare to feel that they also know that they are ugly men, so they are self-aware... Smile. 】

[There are a lot of domestic violence and abuse of women and children on the Internet. I didn’t see these scumbags coming out to speak for the victims. Now a normal man has come forward. They all jumped faster than anything else. It seems that Lin Liekai is beating His father? 】

[Maybe it's really their father, and it's not necessarily the illegitimate son of Li Daqiang living outside.Light cigarette.jpg]

Within a few minutes, Lin Liekai's latest emoticon package was made into a triple hit: the first one is a famous screenshot of a certain Gongdou drama, and the head of the beauty in ancient costume was replaced by Lin Liekai, with the accompanying text of course "I'll hit you if I hit you, do you still have to choose a date?" The second photo is a cool photo from usual, accompanied by the phrase "You are dead" when he threatened the rumor-mongering media last time, and the third photo is It was the latest snapshot of him when he was driven out of the court, and he used the original words of "what are you looking at, and I will kill you if you look at it" that was sung by the reporter.

Lin Liekai's Weibo is full of old fans and new fans, and the pictures are flying like a new year. The set of pictures is even named: Lin Shao's version of death threat 2.0.

……

In an office of Yinxing Entertainment, Ouyang Lei and Zhou Yunying sat at the table, turning on their computers and mobile phones respectively.

Zhou Yunying glanced at her manager and whispered, "Brother Ouyang, this matter is such a big deal, will you expose it?"

Ouyang Lei sneered meanly: "Look at how courageous you are, don't worry, I never told Li Daqiang my real name, I used a pseudonym for all contacts, and the phone number is also a new card."

The trick he used when contacting that makeup artist Jimmy has been well hidden up to now, but now he just repeats the same trick, and just teased that scum a few words, saying that Cheng Yan is now a star, rich, and ruthless. Sue ruthlessly, and civil compensation will definitely make a lot of money.

Sure enough, that idiot got excited when he heard it.

Zhou Yunying stopped talking, her beautiful face had a rare haggard look, and her eye sockets were turning blue.

After Cheng Yan's foot injury finally broke out last time, his Weibo followers evaporated by more than 100 million in a few days, and he was not even invited to the wrapping party of the web drama that just finished filming.

Ouyang Lei went to ask the crew to question, but the producer responded with a sneer: bad artists are not popular nowadays, your child has such a bad reputation now, it is hard to say whether he will be deleted or not in the finished dramas in the future. of?

Thinking of what Ouyang Lei had sent back, Zhou Yunying sat blankly, her eyes blank.

That is a web drama with the best lineup he has received so far. It is going to hit the Spring Festival at the end of the year. It might have been a big hit, but now... is everything over?

He swiped his phone silently, and then whispered for a long time: "But judging from the public opinion, it seems that everything has turned."

Ouyang Lei smiled: "What does that matter? If the judgment depends entirely on public opinion, what do you need the law for?"

He knocked on the table in a good mood: "The prosecution's accusation was very clear just now, and Cheng Yan himself did not deny it. It would be fine if he only stabbed him once, but he stabbed him again after he injured Li Daqiang, hehe , it’s not that easy to get away with it.”

The first knife can be said to be self-defense, so the second knife is not necessary, is it?

With this alone, Cheng Yan could be called immortal and peel off his skin!

……

The chaos caused by Lin Liekai finally calmed down, the court investigation came to an end, and the next stage was the long court debate.

This case is not big, and the facts of the case are simple, but the attention is extremely high. Of course, the prosecution did not dare to neglect it, and made due diligence preparations in advance.

Prosecutors have repeatedly pointed out that after the victim lost his ability to act, Cheng Yan's secondary injury was not necessary, which not only constituted excessive defense, but also had the subjective intention of deliberate revenge.

Although the free lawyer Cheng Yan hired came for the sake of fame, his level was not too bad after all, and with the help from the think tank of Chengyuan Firm behind the scenes, the following defense was also quite exciting.

After synthesizing the testimonies of a series of witnesses who appeared earlier, the defense’s views mainly focus on the following points:

First: In view of Li Daqiang's long-term domestic violence and various misdeeds, the defendant Cheng Yan has every reason to believe that if he does not completely incapacitate him, he will definitely cause more serious harm to their orphans and widows, even fatal slash;

Second, what Cheng Yan used was only the fruit knife that his younger sister got in a hurry, which has little lethality and low power, and subjectively has no intention of seriously injuring anyone;

Third, what Cheng Yan stopped was "the ongoing violation". After his mother was beaten into a coma, his younger sister was being molested by his stepfather, and Li Daqiang was slashing and killing him with a kitchen knife while drunk. His life was seriously threatened. Now, no matter how defensive you are, it is not excessive, and the charge of "excessive defense" does not apply.

The two sides came and went, and the presiding judge also raised a lot of questions appropriately. After several long hours, the presiding judge finally announced the end of the debate, and turned his eyes to Cheng Yan who was sitting in the dock.

In this court, he saw many vicious criminals and some suspects who were wronged.

But even if they are wronged, even if they have strong confidence in their innocence, in this solemn court, many people will feel powerless and frightened.

But the handsome young man in front of him didn't look like a person who had just grown up at all.

His eyes are too calm, his posture is not afraid, the excitement just now because of Cheng Qing's sudden appearance in court has recovered, and his gaze looking at the court is like a clear mountain spring, which can reflect all filth.

"Defendant, you have the right to make a final statement. May I ask if you need to exercise it?" The presiding judge unknowingly softened his tone a little.

There was silence in the court, and everyone looked at Cheng Yan who was slowly standing up.
