Bang!
Zhao Shanhe slammed his hand hard on the table. "Old man! What are you blabbering about? This is defamation..."
Old Yin snapped back unyieldingly, "What I said is the truth..."
Zhao Shanhe: "Where is the evidence..."
Old Yin: "I am Yin Yue's uncle, and I raised her since she was a child. Isn't this evidence?"
Zhao Shanhe: "Clearly it is you..."
Bang!
The presiding judge struck the gavel once more.
"Silence!"
Then he said, "What is currently on trial is Qin Jiang's involvement in the assault and homicide case. Do not bring up unrelated matters..."
Although he said with his mouth that unrelated cases should not be brought up, it left Zhao Shanhe and the others unable to continue refuting.
Yins Father's lawyer couldn't help thinking to himself:
"Step one... is done!"
This move not only won the sympathy of the audience and friends, stigmatizing Qin Jiang as a bully who preys on women, but it also won the subconscious help of the presiding judge.
Now, half of it is already a success!
Immediately, the lawyer gave Yins Father a look encouraging him to keep going. Seeing that both the media reporters below and the presiding judge above were very sympathetic to him, Yins Father grew immensely confident. "Presiding judge! What I just said is not unrelated to this case, but rather the preceding cause and effect of this case."
"As an uncle, how could I tolerate my own niece being bullied like this? I hate Qin Jiang... But we ordinary people had no other way, we just wanted his whole family to come to our door and beg him..."
"Begging him to spare our Yin Yue... to spare us. But who would have thought that Qin Jiang is so ruthless? Not only did he refuse to forgive our Yin Yue, but he even threatened our entire family. He sent people to trick our whole family into a suburban factory to take care of all of us. Fortunately, we were lucky and realized something was wrong at the last minute and escaped, otherwise... it would have been unimaginable..."
"And it was precisely this time that we discovered evidence of Qin Jiang harming people... He sent people to mass-harm those who dared to oppose him at that factory, breaking their legs right off..."
"That scene was too bloody... Terrifyingly so..."
...
Presiding Judge: "Is there evidence for what you just said?"
Yins Father: "Yes!"
The lawyer on the side immediately submitted it up. Of course, this video recording had already been submitted by the Police in advance.
Presiding Judge: "Present the evidence in court..."
"Yes!"
A staff member plugged the flash drive into the computer and directly projected a video onto the big screen.
A footage appeared on the big screen:
On the screen was a video of Li Hao directing people to beat an old man's legs. One could clearly hear the sound of leg bones cracking, as well as Li Hao's vicious words like, "Those who dare to offend Brother Jiang will pay the price," "You won't see tomorrow's sun," and so on.
The picture was extremely clear!
The dialogue was extremely clear!
The old man's pleas for mercy, Li Hao's loud shouts while beating people, and the crisp sound of bone cracking resounded through the courtroom, and through the live-streaming screens of the media reporters, reached the eyes of countless viewers across screens.
This scene:
Made those media reporters' blood boil. Previously, saying Yin Yue was involved in unspoken rules was just a major bombshell news without substantive evidence, but what was before them had both pictures and the truth.
There was even a video!
And the video was so clear: although Qin Jiang did not appear in the video, he was mentioned.
And they also recognized who the person that appeared was. Isn't that the person sitting next to Qin Jiang?
Li Hao!
All these media reporters recognized him: they had all conducted detailed investigations into the people arrested yesterday.
One of the secretaries to the chairman of the Black Dragon Group!
The Board Secretary!
That was the closest person to the chairman. Who else could the Brother Jiang he mentioned refer to?
It goes without saying... Qin Jiang, of course!
...
Whoosh...
Everyone exploded!!!
...
Wu Yue collapsed onto the sofa. "How could this happen? How could Qin Jiang do such a thing? And it was even recorded on video..."
"This is simply the best evidence... A video... How can it be refuted... Isn't he completely finished..."
Old Friend: "Sigh..."
He wasn't as shocked as Wu Yue. He had long guessed that they must have grasped some concrete evidence before making arrests. At the same time, with this video around, Qin Jiang's stigmatization was completely established and it was basically impossible to shake.
Qin Jiang... is done for!
Even if Qin Jiang's figure didn't appear in the video at all, that no longer mattered.
He was mentioned!
He was mentioned by his Board Secretary! There were also several other important figures from the Black Dragon Group in the video.
Under all these combined circumstances, how could he absolve himself?
Say that he was poor at judging people?
Say that he didn't participate?
Who would believe it!
Even if those few underlings took the full blame upon themselves, and even if Qin Jiang was acquitted due to a lack of absolute evidence, in the hearts of the people nationwide, Qin Jiang was a criminal, and his Black Dragon Group was consequently a dark and evil force. Everyone who walked close to the Black Dragon Group would be nailed to the pillar of shame...
He was truly... completely ruined!
...
Gu Chuan: "From the looks of it now, Qin Jiang's situation is extremely ominous. The sheer spittle of public opinion alone could drown him..."
"This Ma Jun really has methods: he has lined up all the advantages of heaven, earth, and human harmony, turning a basic attack into an ultimate move!"
Leng Tong: "Is Qin Jiang really in deep trouble..."
...
Ye Ze: "Qin Jiang, oh Qin Jiang, does this mean I won't need to wear this uniform from now on?"
"But do you really still have a chance of making a comeback? Under such public opinion circumstances, even if you can clear yourself of guilt, public censure is a fearful thing. How can you climb over the mountain in people's hearts?"
He couldn't help but feel a sense of regret for Qin Jiang's fate...
...
Bai Weiguo frowned: "Since the opponent has produced such a video, why was Zhu Zheng still so confident back then?"
"How else can he turn things around? Video fabrication? But the people in the video cannot be faked, right? They are right there..."
...
Elder Lin: "Very good! This time Qin Jiang is completely unable to turn things around, and it's also his own doing."
"He really thought he could always be awesome! Watch him build a tall building, watch him feast his guests, watch his building collapse..."
...
"Good..." Seeing the reaction of the media present, Ma Jun couldn't help slapping his thigh. "This effect is simply stellar. I reckon the people nationwide right now want to eat up this criminal Qin Jiang alive. I want to see how else you can struggle."
"Secretary... Quick! Prepare the car for me..."
"I want to go to the scene in person to witness Qin Jiang's downfall. This time: I will only watch coldly from afar..."
"I want him to leave Modu like a stray dog, and I want him to see what I, Ma Jun, am capable of."
...
At the same time.
Countless viewers across the country saw this scene and were so angry they started cursing:
"This Qin Jiang is simply unpardonably wicked. That old man is so pitiful, yet he broke his legs."
"Beast... Animal... Worse than pigs and dogs... A person like this must be sentenced..."
"Damn it! He deserves to die..."
For a time, everyone believed that Qin Jiang deserved to die, thinking that he could no longer turn things around and would be drowned by public opinion...
Yet, amidst everyone's disbelief.
They saw...
