Everyone knows that people from Jinyang Steel Plant are discharging waste.

But they really didn't expect...

Luo Jun and the others actually dare to be so rampant!!!

Qian Jianye's face looked extremely grim.

He is also a native of Sunzhou, so he naturally has to drink this water. At this moment, these photos seemed like knives, stabbing his heart into pieces.

"Based on the sewage testing and the source of the pipelines, in the end, I am certain."

Xu Liang took a deep breath and said:

"The biggest culprit causing the severe underground water pollution in Huangyan Village... is Jinyang Steel Plant!"

"Please, Your Honor, make a definite ruling."

After speaking, he squinted his eyes and looked at the defendant side, anticipating their reaction.

And that hand...

Was holding a medical examination report at the moment, restless.

"Our side desires that the defendant compensate all treatment costs for our victims, and also provide compensation, including nutrition expenses, lost wages, and the compensation for the death of the family member Sun Jin, totaling three million." Xu Liang said.

Three million.

Three million in 2005 was quite substantial!

For forty thousand, he dared to fight Wang Hai hard, for a hundred thousand, he risked everything with Luo Jun, let alone three million.

If he had this amount on hand... his future net worth would easily exceed a hundred million!

Putting away his thoughts.

"Our side's statement is complete." Xu Liang said.

Upon hearing this.

Qian Jianye's face looked grim for a while, then turned to look unfriendly towards the defendant side.

"Where did he find the pipelines in the cave!?"

The defendants felt a bit urgent at the moment, especially Luo Jun, as he looked at those photos, his head buzzed.

The evidence he had revealed on his own...

Although they could convict, they were completely superficial.

The pipelines in the cave were the main source of pollution!

But he had never disclosed them, unless the other side privately investigated them...

However...

He could still bear it.

As long as he got through this disaster, in the next ten years... he would recklessly make money, before the planted landmines of steel exploded... sell all assets!

Then take the funds and run, change nationality and identity, to a small country to be the local tyrant!

Luo Jun remained expressionless, without saying a word.

However, the factory managers of several chemical plants beside him were now uneasy, their gloomy eyes frequently glancing at Xu Liang.

They hadn't planted mines.

So they were more concerned about the immediate gains and losses!

With this level of pollution, when it comes to calculating compensation... how much would that cost!?

But obviously.

The current court session wouldn't answer his questions.

"Defendant, according to the plaintiff's above statement..."

Qian Jianye came back to his senses and turned to look at the defendants.

"Do you have any rebuttal?"

Upon hearing this.

Liu Kun knew it was his turn to speak, he immediately stood up, thought for a moment, then knew what to say.

"Respected Judge." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"I am the defense attorney for the defendant, Liu Kun, the plant manager of Jinyang Steel Plant is my client."

"Now, in this trial, I act as defense attorney for the opposing side."

As he said this, Liu Kun took a deep breath and furrowed his brows:

"First of all, Jinyang Steel Plant that my side represents..."

"Admits to the existence of illegal sewage discharge!"

Ad... admittance!?

Instantly, everyone felt incredibly shocked.

With just a few short words, the rhythm of the court session was directly disrupted.

The gallery couldn't understand what the other side was trying to do, but seeing that they had already admitted, they temporarily lost control, unable to suppress their anger.

Immediately, someone couldn't help but curse out loud.

"Damn it, still have the nerve to admit it!?"

"And then? Then express a good attitude in admitting wrong?! Get lost!"

"Only admitting, but what about the attitude of admitting guilt? Willing to go to court, so they still want to defend huh?"

"..."

Some journalists even forgot they were there to write reports, at this moment only focused on venting their anger.

No way.

Past cases, at most, only garnered sympathy, emotions could still be suppressed somehow.

But this case...

Already tangible, involving their own health benefits!

Only Xu Liang noticed something.

The other side...

"Are they going along with my words, preparing to end the case?"

Xu Liang thought to himself, instantly realizing the other side's intention, a cold smile appeared on his face.

"And to lighten their guilt, minimize the compensation?"

"Heh heh."

...

On the bench.

Qian Jianye spoke: "Order in the court!"

He tapped the gavel, and the courtroom gradually quieted down.

Then, Qian Jianye looked at Liu Kun, expressionless:

"Defendant, please continue."

Upon hearing this.

Liu Kun nodded, thought for a moment, then spoke:

"According to the plaintiff's lawyer."

"The underground water in Huangyan Village, the pollution of water resources has led to a severe cancer rate among villagers."

"Additionally, a large number of people have experienced organ failure due to heavy metals, but..."

As he spoke.

His tone suddenly changed.

And suddenly said:

"But the amount of wastewater discharged by Jinyang Steel Plant does not meet this standard at all!"

The degree of water pollution is extremely high, this is impossible for a single steel plant to achieve.

Furthermore.

Some of the components do not even exist in a steel plant!

Luo Jun was unwilling to see the steel plant take the blame, carrying the burden for several other industrial plants.

Some might even say...

Letting this group bear it for him wasn't too bad!

Thinking of this, Liu Kun spoke:

"As the opposing lawyer just mentioned."

"Arsenic and cadmium, which are the two most serious elements causing health damages to Huangyan Village villagers!"

Just now Xu Liang mentioned.

In the water quality, these two heavy metal elements are one of the main factors causing cancer!

But....

"As everyone knows."

"Steel plants do discharge arsenic and cadmium, but the source, form, and concentration of the emissions are heavily influenced by raw material composition, production process, and environmental measures."

Liu Kun extended his hand, and the assistant beside him immediately handed over the prepared document.
