How can the words of a mentally ill person be taken seriously?
But the defendant’s lawyer still hasn’t figured out why Wang Zhenhai suddenly turned out this way.
Wang Zhenhai suddenly erupted with immense strength, and facing the defendant’s lawyer’s embrace, he bit onto the lawyer’s arm like in a street fight.
Along with the scream, there was also Wang Zhenhai’s roar: "Even you think I’m crazy?!"
Wang Zhenhai suddenly smiled strangely, as if he had thought of something: "Yes... yes! I still have money out there, I’ve lied to you all about that too!"
The judge’s eyes suddenly narrowed.
This was different from what was just mentioned about technical guidance and responsibility sharing.
They heard Wang Zhenhai’s voice growing louder: "I still have money outside, I still have accounts! You wouldn’t have thought of that, right? Whatever I say, you believe it! I threw out a moderate bait during the trial, and you fell for it, didn’t you think of giving me a lighter sentence, huh?!"
Wang Zhenhai suddenly broke free from the defendant’s lawyer, signaling fiercely to the other gang members beside him: "Of course, I have money, or how could I dump these burdens on these guys? Or how could I make them admit that they collected the information, make them admit that they know the technology?"
The defendants looked at Wang Zhenhai, who was within reach, their hands and feet cold: "Insane, insane..."
Some defendants began to curse: "Wang Zhenhai, you’ve gone mad!"
Someone started looking around helplessly, seemingly wanting to plead with the law enforcers not to believe the words of this madman.
Someone else let out a furious roar and directly lunged at Wang Zhenhai!
Wang Zhenhai was still laughing: "And this lawyer, this useless lawyer! He knows, he knows too! If I didn’t have money, how could I hire him? How could I get him to work so diligently for me? In the end, he achieved nothing, bah!"
His laughter quickly broke at the highest pitch: "I know the technology, I’m the leader, I’m the organizer, I’ve fooled all of you! You caught me by luck! If it weren’t for these guys being too stupid, if it weren’t for..."
Accompanied by the punches and kicks from the other defendants, his laughter abruptly stopped, quickly followed by screams, wails, and cries.
It’s unclear if the final crying was because of these punches, or because of his own fate.
The defendant’s lawyer was now not only cold in hands and feet, even his mind, chest, and entire trunk seemed devoid of warmth.
He couldn’t think anymore.
So his eyes also turned red, he roared and joined the fray.
The current trial order made intervention inevitable. Almost all court police on site took action, struggling with great effort to suppress these defendants along with the lawyer.
But it was enough; there was no need for Wang Zhenhai to reveal anything more.
Everyone in the plaintiff’s seat’s mouths hung open, unable to come to their senses. The victims felt humiliated by Wang Zhenhai’s public disgrace, but it didn’t seem to be a bad thing at the moment?
Their prosecutor stood up gracefully and said, "Your Honor, the defendant Wang Zhenhai has confessed to key criminal facts in the indictment in court. Please record this in the court record and use it as a crucial basis for conviction and sentencing."
As a formality, it’s better to add such a statement.
This comrade from the prosecutor’s office realized that he would be working overtime with the police comrades when he returned, those hidden accounts... who knows how many new pieces of evidence are awaiting collection.
And Lawyer Zhan, who had come to his senses, forcibly suppressed himself to avoid laughing out loud.
He looked admiringly at Nan Zhubin not far away: "You really got him to spill it out..."
As the scene was brought under control, everyone’s gaze gradually withdrew from the defendant’s seat.
Mystifyingly, it focused on Nan Zhubin.
This young consultant still maintained the expression and posture he had when narrating earlier, as though he was oblivious to everything that had just happened, as if none of the factors causing it had anything to do with him.
The judge hesitantly asked, "Nan Zhubin, do you have anything else to add?"
Nan Zhubin gently shook his head: "My statement is complete."
A court police officer approached, opening the barrier between the witness stand and the public gallery.
The court police maintained a certain distance from Nan Zhubin at all times. It was a kind of admiration as if facing a towering mountain.
Behind Nan Zhubin, the judge brought down the gavel heavily: "Court adjourned!"
As Nan Zhubin walked away slowly, followed by the solemnly announcing judge, the two formed a straight line. Yet, in the background, whether it was victims, defense lawyers, clerks, court police, or others, their gaze was not on the judge at the highest point but firmly captivated by Nan Zhubin.
As if he was the center of the world at that moment.
"What big news..." a reporter sighed softly, as if asking or muttering to herself, "Did you get it all on tape?"
She confirmed repeatedly.
The cameraman, having readjusted the focus at some point, was momentarily captivated by the footage presented inside the camera.
"Of course, I did... It was so artistic..."
Today is a good weather day.
The company’s air conditioning has been fixed, loyally providing a cool breeze in the summer.
The boss, in a great mood, had been treating everyone to coffee for several days, and the double good fortune made all the employees cheerful and joyful.
Even better, there wasn’t much work today. Therefore, the office was sparsely populated with consultants, with only the assistants who needed to be on duty gathered in small groups, chatting about gossip.
They subtly cast complex glances at the figure sitting not far away, while scrolling their phone screens in amazement, reading the news on it.
After thinking for a moment, Assistant Huang waved to Mo Kai: "Little Kai Bro."
Unbeknownst to himself, Mo Kai’s title had also been upgraded.
Assistant Huang showed Mo Kai the news on his phone, which featured a photo from the courtroom looking like a movie poster: "Did Teacher Nan ever talk to you about this? What’s going on exactly?"
Compared to Assistant Huang’s curiosity, Mo Kai was now filled with regret.
"I don’t know either, and I don’t quite dare to ask Senior Bro..."
"Don’t mess around... Are you his assistant or junior, and you don’t know something within your work scope?"
"But I wasn’t there that day!" Mo Kai complained with a mournful face, "In court, causing a defendant’s mental breakdown, inciting them to recant, making them fight each other, and even getting their lawyer involved... such a big scene, and I wasn’t there that day..."
With every keyword Mo Kai mentioned, the assistants’ curiosity grew more intense.
"Why don’t you go and ask him now?"
Mo Kai quickly shook his head, clearly distinguishing priorities at this moment: "Senior Bro comes to the company for work, he still has consultations later, it’s not right to bother him with such gossip now..."
"True... But doesn’t it seem like Teacher Nan is smiling happily over there, is that how he usually is at work?"
Not far away, Nan Zhubin was looking at his phone. Updates are released by novel-fire.ɴet
His fingers clicked away on the virtual keyboard.
By now, it’s already been a week since the trial.
In certain circles, the impact of this case was growing more intense.
On his phone, a conversation window with the contact named [Xia Tian] kept flashing.
[Nan Zhubin: Because the scene was too chaotic at the time, the judge immediately adjourned the court. After that, there was a period of renewed evidence gathering, which took a long time, and the trial resumed for the pronouncement of the verdict just yesterday.]
[Xia Tian: Uh-huh, I read the reports online, Teacher Nan looked so handsome!]
[Xia Tian: But it seems like the verdict hasn’t been announced yet, even the official website hasn’t posted it yet.]
[Nan Zhubin: I know, I’ll tell you directly.]
As a participant in the case, the young girl naturally kept a high degree of attention on the event.
And regarding the outcome, Nan Zhubin also felt it was necessary to let the young girl who put in a significant effort understand.
[Nan Zhubin: All the evidence he revealed has been verified, and Nan Zhihao also filed a private prosecution that could result in concurrent sentences.]
[Nan Zhubin: In the end, it was a life sentence with all personal assets confiscated.]
