CHAPTER 44: CHAPTER 44: THE COURT’S VERDICT: WANG YONGQIANG IS ACQUITTED!!

When the presiding judge made the judgment.

No one could know what the final verdict would be.

Because it depends on how the presiding judge rules, on how the court determines.

Gu Chen had already done all he could do.

Presiding Judge Shen Jiarui continued: "Liu Yajun and more than twenty villagers in Xishan Village engaged in illegal loan-sharking activities, involving a large amount that has exceeded ten million yuan, a significant sum. According to Article 175 of the Huaxia Criminal Law, for the purpose of profiting from loans, extracting credit funds from financial institutions and lending them at high interest to others, where the illegal gains are large, the sentence is imprisonment for more than three years and less than seven years, and a fine ranging from one to five times the illegal gains."

"Liu Yajun and Xishan Village villagers controlled West Mountain Media, misleading the public. The head of West Mountain Media has long received bribes, reported false news, and concealed important facts. Now, West Mountain Media is fined 30,000 yuan, West Mountain Media has to undergo rectification, and the head of West Mountain Media, Liu Jinchang, is sentenced to seven years in prison."

"Liu Yajun and 19 villagers from Xishan Village have repeatedly bullied others, collected debts violently, indirectly causing deaths and other severe consequences. Moreover, in Wang Yongqiang’s case, they deliberately concealed facts, obstructed police investigations, and threatened Sun Yunmeng by kidnapping Wang Xiaomeng, involved in kidnapping and threatening, sentenced to life imprisonment! All personal property confiscated."

"..."

The presiding judge began pronouncing the judgment.

Liu Yajun was directly sentenced to life imprisonment!

The head of West Mountain Media, Liu Jinchang, was sentenced to seven years in prison!!

The villagers of Xishan Village who engaged in loan-sharking were all sentenced, with varying penalties.

Liu Yajun himself is already nearly sixty years old.

This life sentence means he might never get out of prison.

In the live chat room, netizens were sending comments.

[Damn, great judgment! Life imprisonment!!]

[Liu Yajun is in prison!! People like him should die, should be sentenced to death! Really vile!]

[People like Liu Yajun, who caused others to die and kidnapped a little girl to destroy evidence, even a life sentence seems lenient!!]

[Damn, well sentenced! Gu Chen is amazing! Finally sentenced someone like Liu Yajun!!]

[This is Gu Chen, Gu Chen is awesome! West Mountain Media’s head also got sentenced! They should all be sentenced together, the court judged perfectly this time!!]

[This is the second trial, Liu Yajun can’t appeal anymore, it’s really life imprisonment! Feels amazing!!]

[I don’t know how Wang Yongqiang’s case was judged, will Wang Yongqiang still be sentenced to death in the end?]

Sun Yunmeng and Wang Xiaomeng also came to the scene, waiting for the verdict.

Presiding Judge Shen Jiarui continued to pronounce the results: "Wang Yongqiang’s case of killing Liu Biao, Liu Biao had long committed rape against Sun Yunmeng, violently beat Sun Yunmeng and Wang Yongqiang’s family, sentencing Liu Biao’s family to compensate Wang Yongqiang and Sun Yunmeng for medical expenses and mental damages totaling 238,000 yuan."

"According to Article 20 of the Huaxia Criminal Law, Wang Yongqiang killed Liu Biao under circumstances where Liu Biao held a knife first, Wang Yongqiang’s counterattack with scissors was justified defense, therefore the court will not prosecute Wang Yongqiang, overturning the result of the first trial."

The court has pronounced the judgement!

Wang Yongqiang is innocent!!

The court not prosecuting means innocence!!!

It even sentenced Liu Biao’s family to compensate Wang Yongqiang’s family 238,000 yuan!!

However, Liu Yajun’s entire family’s personal property has already been confiscated, this part of the money will be compensated to Wang Yongqiang’s family first, then the court will confiscate all assets.

The court has pronounced the results.

Wu Kexin gestured to Sun Yunmeng beside her.

Sun Yunmeng was full of joy, full of disbelief.

Innocent!

It really is innocent!!

Her husband is innocent!!!

Sun Yunmeng had always been afraid, afraid that Wang Yongqiang would be sentenced to death.

No matter what she experienced, she truly loved Wang Yongqiang from her heart, and she also had a daughter, neither she nor her daughter could be without Wang Yongqiang.

The court’s verdict is complete!

The case is closed!

Liu Yajun and the group of villagers from Xishan Village were all taken away!!

At this moment, the live chat room exploded!!

Because... Gu Chen won another case!

Wang Yongqiang is innocent!! Wang Yongqiang was released in court!!!

[Damn, goosebumps! Wang Yongqiang is innocent! Lawyer Gu Chen is too amazing! You call this an intern lawyer? He sent the plaintiff to prison!!]

[How can this be an intern lawyer, really amazing, really judged Wang Yongqiang as innocent!! So good!!]

[Gu Chen is amazing! I’ve never seen such an amazing lawyer, you call this an intern lawyer, I don’t believe it!]

[Gu Chen really sent the plaintiff to prison! Liu Yajun was also sentenced to life imprisonment!!]

[How can there be such an incredible lawyer, I’ve been convinced! I don’t believe an intern lawyer could accomplish this!!]

Liu Yajun was sent to prison!!

Liu Yajun’s eyes were full of reluctance.

No way, he really has no way!!

He hired elite lawyers from Red Circle Law Firm, but ended up with a life sentence himself, while Wang Yongqiang was judged innocent.

How can there be such an amazing lawyer?

Liu Yajun shook his head, his eyes full of pain and remorse.

His remaining life will be entirely spent in prison.

Soon, the matter directly hit a trending topic on Weibo!

Gu Chen became famous again!

[You are the defense lawyer for the defendant, but you sent the plaintiff to prison?]

[This is the Lawless Madman! Who says a lawyer can only defend the defendant, the Lawless Madman sends the plaintiff along with the chair to prison!]

[The true Lawless Madman! Xishan Village villagers were sent by him to prison in droves!!]

[Hahaha, offended the Lawless Madman, nearly twenty villagers from Xishan Village were sent to prison! Liu Yajun’s entire family went to prison!!]

[This lawyer is truly impressive, said to judge Wang Yongqiang as innocent, Wang Yongqiang really is innocent!! So amazing!! I also want to spend money to get Gu Chen to help me with my lawsuits!!!]

[Upstairs, be careful Gu Chen directly sends you to prison, Xishan Village villagers just watched from the sidelines, and West Mountain Media was filming below, all sent by Gu Chen to prison. Luckily I’m watching the live broadcast, I should be safe!]

[Upstairs be careful, be careful you get sent to prison too, now I’m even afraid to watch the live broadcast! Lawless Madman is too incredible!! In one hearing, he kept the defendant safe and sent the plaintiff to prison!! The reporters in the audience were sent to prison too! I’m just afraid I’ll be sent to prison too.]

Gu Chen this time really became famous!

Who knows how many people followed Gu Chen’s Weibo and Douyin.

Also, who knows how many netizens wanted to hire Gu Chen to help with lawsuits.

Gu Chen’s law firm instantly became popular too!!

Everyone knows, Gu Chen has been involved in two lawsuits, both of which were won!!
