Chapter 300: Chapter 211: Victory? Defeat!

"Qi Yu’s forehead corrosion marks are definitely not caused by operational errors!"

"Our side proposes to conduct a further investigation on the opponent’s evidence!"

Yang Ruoxi’s speech was logically clear.

Xu Liang remained silent, showing no intention of stopping the opponent from speaking.

However...

After this legitimate request was made.

Liu Shennan frowned, seemingly annoyed, with a trace of anger appearing on her face.

She instantly turned her head, gazing down at Yang Ruoxi from the judge’s bench, furiously stating:

"Plaintiff, it’s not your turn to speak yet!"

"Please adhere to courtroom discipline. This is your warning, if it happens again..."

"The court has the right to expel you!"

Expel from court?

Yang Ruoxi was stunned, staring incredulously at Liu Shennan, all surrounding voices vanished, leaving only a blank space in her mind, with a buzzing echoing in her ears.

The courtroom proceedings have very clear speaking rules!

Before the free debate session, when one side speaks, the other must not interrupt arbitrarily.

If violated...

The judge has the authority to warn once, and expel on the second offense!

Warnings are normal, but...

Didn’t Zhao Hailong just interrupt as well!?

Yang Ruoxi’s face turned somewhat grim, biting her lips hard, her angry eyes fixated on Liu Shennan and the defendant.

Seeing this.

Liu Shennan showed a bit of impatience, pondering for a moment, frowning as she looked at the plaintiff.

"Plaintiff, why the evidence ambush!?"

Why?

Of course it’s because there are rats in the courtroom!

Submitting evidence during the presentation period is tantamount to self-exposure, Xu Liang definitely would not doubt that the moment he submitted the evidence, it would appear on Zhao Hailong’s desk next.

At that time, the opponent might even flee directly!

How could it become the current situation, where in terms of evidence, our side is suppressing the opponent?

"Honorable presiding judge, I only accepted the commission on April 2nd!"

Xu Liang’s expression was restrained, suppressing his inner emotions, he solemnly spoke.

"There was no time for evidence submission last night, we can only verify it in court!"

Upon hearing this.

Liu Shennan directly rebutted:

"The autopsy report states that the autopsy was conducted on March 29th!"

"In other words, the autopsy was completed on the 29th even before you accepted the commission, during the evidence presentation period completely!"

"So..."

Speaking.

Her eyes sharpened, staring at Xu Liang, word by word she asked:

"Why the evidence ambush!?"

"Do you realize how much time this wastes for the court!!!"

A surge of anger brewed in his chest, but a qualified lawyer would hide it well.

Xu Liang suppressed this anger, speaking again:

"This is not an evidence ambush, nor will it waste time!"

"Honorable presiding judge, you can completely recess for ten minutes to use for verification!!!"

Ten minutes.

Making a phone call to Hanhai City would be more than adequate.

However...

"I’m asking you why the evidence ambush!!!"

Liu Shennan repeated herself once more, completely disregarding the meaning in Xu Liang’s words.

Immediately.

Without waiting for Xu Liang to speak, she proceeded to say:

"Plaintiff’s surprise courtroom evidence, now...."

"Not recognized!"

Not recognized...

The moment these four words dropped, it was like a thunderclap, echoing throughout the courtroom.

The other two judges were dumbfounded, slightly wanting to speak but stopped, thinking about it, yet didn’t stop it.

Zhao Hailong and Cheng Jia showed expressions of joy on their faces.

The evidence Xu Liang submitted was an irreversible loophole for them, regardless of whether it’s an evidence ambush, once investigated... the lies would certainly be exposed!

Now Liu Shennan straight away not recognizing it, was completely an unexpected happiness!

"Plaintiff, do you have any other evidence submitted during the evidence presentation period, that has been reviewed, to submit?"

Liu Shennan glanced at Xu Liang.

Xu Liang stared at the opponent expressionless, looking for a long time, finally, he spoke:

"No."

Upon hearing this.

Liu Shennan nodded, then looked at the defendant.

"Defendant, do you acknowledge that in this civil compensation case, your client’s neglect is significant?"

Zhao Hailong and Cheng Jia nodded.

Their only purpose is one.

End the trial as a civil case!

Seeing the opponent nod...

Liu Yanan didn’t continue discussing with the two judges, she picked up the gavel.

"Alright!"

"Plaintiff has no new evidence to submit, defendant now acknowledges the scenario described in the plaintiff’s commission as factual."

"Now announcing..."

Liu Yanan stood up, holding the script, declaring:

"Judgment on the accidental death case of Qi Yu at Jianghe Pickle Plant."

"Deceased Qi Yu, due to significant neglect in the management of Jianghe Sunshine Disabled Shelter Center and Jianghe Pickle Plant, resulting in her accidental death!"

"Now announcing, in accordance with the plaintiff’s appeal, Jianghe Pickle Plant is ordered to compensate the plaintiff for mental distress, funeral expenses, totaling to 500,000 Eastern Country currency!"

"Due to management neglect and major training errors, Jianghe Sunshine Disabled Shelter Center is penalized to pay a sum of 100,000!"

Upon finishing speaking.

Liu Yanan directly raised the gavel and struck, looking around.

"Bang!"

"Does either party have any objections!?"

"No, our side has no objections!"

Zhao Hailong and Cheng Jia showed expressions of delight on their faces.

Six hundred thousand...

It’s merely what twenty people could earn in a month!

Throwing out this money is merely mosquito meat for them, yet it gets them through such a significant hurdle for now!

Lost...

The case is lost, but Zhao Hailong is unusually happy about it!

However, it’s the plaintiff claiming ’victory’...

No one from the plaintiff spoke.

Liu Shennan glanced, then withdrew her gaze, directly turning around and leaving, only leaving a word in court.

"This case is now announced...."

"Dismissed!"

Upon finishing speaking.

Liu Shennan directly left the scene with the clerk and the other two judges.

"Insulting!"

Yang Ruoxi’s bright eyes were brewing with anger, she clenched her fists, gritting her teeth and said.

"Targeting... this is blatant targeting!"

"And possibly targeting caused by bias!"

A judge’s discretionary power may possibly lean towards one side due to subjective unfavorable impressions of the other.

Yang Ruoxi is now very angry, but....

"Ha."

Beside her, Xu Liang suddenly laughed.

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruoxi was filled with rage, saying through gritted teeth:

"How can you still laugh after losing!!!?"

"Winning" a civil compensation case simply means the criminal appeal was rejected.

While civil success requires only paying a bit of money!

But this case, the truth goes far beyond just a murder case...

Even if it’s merely murder.

For a criminal murder case to be compensated with 600,000... is that "winning"?

Of course not.

Just....

Staring at Liu Shennan’s departing figure.

Xu Liang’s eyes gradually narrowed, clutching the evidence he never surfaced from beginning till end, uncertain of what he was thinking, merely murmuring:

"The rat...."

"Found it."
