Chapter 73: 071 Sentenced in court! Ying Luwei’s face turned green
“…”
The entire courtroom fell into a hushed silence.
Ying Luwei whirled around, her gaze incredulously fixing on the plaintiff’s bench.
The live broadcast’s captions halted for a few seconds before exploding in an instant.
[Wow! Who? Did you all catch that just now? Did I hear wrong?]
[The one in front, you didn’t hear wrong. Although I’ve never heard this name before, I can confirm that the person Zijin’s sister has invited is from the Imperial Capital’s Nie Family, ahhhhhh!]
[[Kneeling][Kneeling], so it wasn’t that he wasn’t coming, he was just preparing a huge move.]
[Hahahaha, to those just now, are you slapping your own faces? Not only did West Wind Law Firm show up, but even the Nie Family is here. Is there still any suspense in this lawsuit?]
[I’m dying of laughter, weren’t there talks about some major clan from the Imperial Capital getting involved? Just this? Is this it? A family bigger than the Nie Family?]
“There was an incident, and our previous legal representative had to be rushed to the hospital,” the young lawyer nodded and explained, adding, “It was also troublesome for Mr. Nie Yi to step in at the last minute.”
He was quite frightened in retrospect.
Since its establishment, West Wind Law Firm had mostly taken on criminal disputes and other challenging cases.
This was their first case involving cyber violence and defamation.
Even though it was likely an easy win, they still gave it their utmost attention.
Hence, West Wind Law Firm not only sent their top-notch legal team but also provided a special legal representative.
Theoretically, the legal representative should have been Ying Zijin’s guardian or a relative, but the Ying Family was less than reputable.
What they never expected was that they would encounter so much turbulence along the way.
First, their flight was delayed, which forced them to be stranded aboard the plane for two hours.
Finally arriving at Shanghai City, they were then involved in a car accident midway.
Had the Nie Family not received news and directly picked them up, today’s trial might not have been able to proceed normally.
Fortunately, it had not been more than thirty minutes.
However, even if they had exceeded the time, they would have had ways to rectify the situation.
The young lawyer secretly wiped off his sweat.
Even he hadn’t expected that the Nie Family’s eldest grandson would come to fill the position of the legal representative.
This was too…
Nie Yi seated himself in the plaintiff’s bench and uttered a single word, “Begin.”
His deep and rich magnetic voice, devoid of any warmth, suddenly caused a chill in the courtroom.
People in the audience gradually came back to their senses, still somewhat dazed.
Nie Chao started to shiver.
Clinging to Fu Yunshen’s clothing, his face mournful, he said, “Seventh Young Master, on Qingming Festival, please burn some more paper money for me.”
He’s dead, he’s dead, he’s dead.
Fu Yunshen leisurely removed Nie Chao’s hand, “Don’t touch me, I don’t associate with scumbags.”
“…”
Nie Chao heard the sound of his own heart breaking.
Fu Yunshen looked up, his gaze locking with Nie Yi’s.
His eyes, shaped like peach blossoms, curved slightly as he gently pressed his index finger to his lips.
Then he diverted his gaze.
The black baseball cap concealed half of the girl’s face, revealing only a chin.
Strands of hair cascaded down, accentuating her near-transparent white skin, with blue veins visible beneath.
She was too thin, definitely needing more nourishment.
Perhaps sensing his actions, Ying Zijin shifted slightly, about to sit upright.
“It’s going to take a while longer,” said Fu Yunshen, glancing at the defendant’s bench and draping his coat over her, “Keep on sleeping.”
His voice was slow and powerful, like a lullaby.
Ying Zijin’s eyes fluttered open, then closed once more, quickly falling back into sleep.
Nie Chao suddenly felt somewhat redundant.
All he could do was gaze fearfully at Nie Yi, seated on the plaintiff’s bench, swallowing hard.
Meanwhile, Ying Luwei stood in the aisle, uncertain whether to sit or leave.
The face beneath the mask turned red, then shades of green and white in succession.
Ying Zijin actually managed to invite someone from the Imperial Capital’s Nie Family to be her legal representative?
What a joke!
The Nie Family was different from the Mu family, as they did not engage in commerce, which meant that even the connection qualifications for the Four major noble families of Shanghai City to touch the Nie Family were nonexistent.
How in the world…
Viewers watching the live broadcast were in a frenzy of excitement.
[Ah ah ah don’t you guys think this person from the Nie Family is so handsome? That build, that presence, he puts quite a few celebrities in the entertainment industry to shame.]
[This has to be a true scion of a major clan, right? Ying Luwei, that white lotus, reeks of pettiness.]
[Ying Luwei’s completely lost face now, embarrassing herself in front of the wealthy circles of the Imperial Capital.]
The netizens were all eagerly anticipating the trial, only to have it end very quickly.
The defense attorney didn’t even have a chance to argue, being completely suppressed by the young lawyer sent from West Wind Law Firm from start to finish.
It was a total rout.
The judgment was issued on the spot, catching the defendants, who had been so arrogant before, completely off guard as it was announced.
Upon hearing she was sentenced to a year in prison, Ying Feifei’s face turned deathly pale instantly.
She collapsed into her chair, breaking into a cold sweat and trembling all over.
How could this be?
She had only said a few words online.
All eyes around her converged, with people whispering and pointing fingers.
Unable to cope, Ying Feifei’s eyes rolled back and she fainted.
“Feifei!” Lady Ying in the defendant’s seat also collapsed, crying, “Feifei, what am I going to do if you go in?”
The girl who was in charge of Ying Luwei’s official fan club, as the lead instigator of this cyberbullying, was sentenced directly to three years.
More importantly, she would be expelled from university, her degree annulled, completely ruining her future prospects.
Fearful, the girl also felt lost.
Was it really worth it to do all this for a stranger?
If she hadn’t charged into battle for Ying Luwei, she would never have ended up in this situation.
The girl suddenly burst into tears.
The young lawyer stood up, smiling gently, “If the defendant has objections to the judgment, she may appeal.”
[Hahaha I bet they won’t dare appeal, appealing would add another three years.]
[West Wind Law Firm is so awesome, love it.]
[Too bad Ying Luwei didn’t show up, can’t see how green her face would be.]
Ying Luwei, reading these online comments, trembled with rage. She gritted her teeth, “Didn’t you say that your teacher had spoken to the Imperial Capital’s Wu Family?”
The result of the trial left her without a shred of dignity.
The words she had previously thrown at Ying Zijin had turned into mockery, who knows how many people were laughing at her.
Lu Zhi was so shocked that she felt cold all over, “I—I don’t know either. Why would the Nie Family come?”
No matter how powerful the Wu family was, they couldn’t compare to the Nie Family.
“I’m sorry, I was too agitated.” Ying Luwei tried hard to control the anger within her, softening her tone to regain her usual gentleness, “It’s not your fault, I wasn’t thorough in my considerations.”
But what exactly was going on with the Nie Family?
Ying Luwei’s fingers trembled as she took out her cell phone and sent a message to a socialite she had met in the Imperial Capital recently.
**
Meanwhile.
Imperial Capital.
Wu family.
Head of Wu Family was entertaining guests when a mobile phone on the table suddenly rang.
“Please excuse me, gentlemen, I need to take this call.”
The Head of Wu Family glanced at the screen, which displayed an unfamiliar number.
He didn’t pay it much attention and simply pressed the speakerphone button.
