Meanwhile, in the spectator seats.
Zhang Qingyuan and the others stared wide-eyed, their breathing growing hurried. The trial had just begun, and it had already dealt them a stunning blow. This scene… was utterly riveting. It had been a long time since they'd witnessed such a sensational start to a trial.
"Their sentences are being increased? What did the prosecutor just say? They bribed again?"
"It seems like the lawyer has been dragged into it this time."
"I've lived for decades, and this is the first time I've seen such a complicated and unpredictable case."
"This isn't an appeal for a second trial; they're clearly acting as if their original sentences were too light!"
"..."
The crowd whispered in hushed voices, conversing privately. Everyone suppressed their emotions, not daring to laugh out loud.
The criminal acts the prosecutor had just listed were a real eye-opener. In their decades-long careers, this was unprecedented.
