Xu Jiangzhe's action was sudden, but Fang Ruoming's people were no pushovers and immediately stepped forward to stop him. This brief disturbance also attracted the attention of the bailiffs nearby, who immediately stepped forward to stop him and issued a warning.
This time, no matter how unwilling Xu Jiangzhe was, he had to return to his dock.
Although he left, his eyes never left Bai Yichen. However, in contrast to his unblinking gaze, Bai Yichen never glanced at him from beginning to end.
Seeing Bai Yichen's appearance, Xu Jiangzhe's usually calm and self-possessed face became a little embarrassed. Although he knew that Ziqian had let him do whatever he wanted before because he had no choice and could only rely on him, he had also thought about what would happen if Ziqian had the right to choose freely, but every time he just regarded it as a guess that would never come true. But when Ziqian really flew out of his cage one day and showed no attachment to him, Xu Jiangzhe found himself so flustered and he could not be as calm as he thought he was.
Bai Yichen has been very calm since he came to the court. Even when Xu Weihai and his wife appeared, his expression did not change at all. For him, he had wasted too much time on this family in this world. Now that he has gotten rid of them, there is no need for him to get entangled with them anymore. He just wants to take back what belongs to him and let them get the punishment they deserve. As for the rest, he doesn't want to spend any more time on them.
Compared to Bai Yichen's calm expression, Xu Weihai and his wife looked more confident with their heads held high. People who didn't know them might think they were the plaintiffs and Bai Yichen was the defendant.
But this is a court, a place where evidence is important. It doesn't matter who looks more justified. As the court opened, Bai Yichen's lawyers laid out the evidence one by one. Xu Weihai and his wife, who originally looked very imposing, kept sweating. Even though they were well prepared, the other party's evidence was obviously more fully prepared. What's more terrifying is that some of the evidence was even collected several years ago. At that time, Bai Ziqian was still in his Xu family and had no contact with the outside world.
Xu Weihai looked at the figure standing next to Bai Ziqian in the plaintiff's seat, and his cheeks twitched uncontrollably. He really didn't expect that the little kid who he had never taken seriously back then, the 1.5 million yuan that he had felt sorry for for a while and treated as feeding a dog, would actually feed a wolf that bit him hard.
If he had known that this kid would end up like this, he would never have let the 1.5 million be spent on him.
But no matter how remorseful Xu Weihai is now, time cannot be reversed. As the lawyers on both sides argued their arguments and presented evidence, the trial came to an end.
Because Bai Yichen, or Fang Ruoming, was so well prepared for this lawsuit, no matter how Xu Weihai and the others argued, they could not influence the judge's judgment. In the end, because the evidence was conclusive, the court ruled in favor of Bai Yichen.
As for the three defendants, Xu Weihai, Liu Ling, and Xu Jiangzhe, Xu Weihai, as a guardian, illegally occupied the legal property of the ward, the amount was huge, and his behavior constituted the crime of embezzlement, and the public prosecutor charged him with the crime. During his time as a guardian, he deprived the ward of his personal freedom for a long time, causing physical and mental damage to the ward, and his behavior constituted the crime of illegal detention, and the public prosecutor charged him with the crime. Because the amount of embezzlement was huge and the detention time was long, the circumstances were serious, and this court sentenced him to 12 years and 6 months in prison and ordered him to return the extraordinary embezzlement.
Liu Ling, together with her husband Xu Weihai, illegally detained the plaintiff and was aware of Xu Weihai's illegal infringement of the property of the guardian. Her signature was found in the evidence presented by the plaintiff and she was determined to be an accomplice and sentenced to six years' imprisonment.
Xu Jiangzhe was young at the time of the crime and was not yet an adult. After he became an adult, he was found to have illegally detained the plaintiff. Because the circumstances were relatively minor, he was sentenced to six months of detention and suspended for two years.
If you are dissatisfied with this judgment, you may appeal within ten days from the day after receiving this judgment.
After hearing the judge's verdict, Xu Weihai and his wife, who had been able to maintain their composure, almost fell down. Twelve years, six years... How could this be possible? Then, the couple shouted together: "I don't accept it, I want to appeal!"
The judge repeated coldly and expressionlessly, "Please file an appeal within ten days from the day after you receive this judgment."
When Xu Weihai and his wife heard the verdict, they were devastated. Xu Jiangzhe was also shocked by the long sentence. He was busy helping his parents and was distracted for a while. When he came to his senses, he found that Bai Yichen in the plaintiff's seat was no longer there.
Xu Jiangzhe's face changed immediately, and he didn't even care about Xu Weihai and his wife. After handing them over to the helpers to take care of them, Xu Jiangzhe chased out directly. However, after he ran out, he found that there was a big surprise waiting for him outside.
Outside the court, a group of reporters gathered. As soon as they saw him coming out, they immediately pointed their guns at him. And soon one of the reporters recognized him. The reporter who recognized him quickly handed the microphone to him and asked, "Mr. Xu, is the Baixu Group incident true? Did your father, Mr. Xu Weihai, really illegally murder the only son of the former chairman of the Baixu Group?"
Before Xu Jiangzhe could react, another reporter quickly squeezed forward and handed the microphone to him. "Mr. Xu, did your father adopt Mr. Bai Ziqian, the only son of the former chairman of Baixu Group, for any bad purpose? Is it true that Mr. Bai Ziqian sued Mr. Xu Weihai for illegally occupying his property by taking advantage of his guardianship?"
"Mr. Xu..."
"Mr. Xu..."
The reporters kept asking questions without giving Xu Jiangzhe a break. Xu Jiangzhe had no idea how they showed up. They were not celebrities, but just some well-known local companies. They didn't attract so much attention. In addition, his parents had clearly kept the court hearing confidential and entered the court in a low-key manner. But why did these reporters seem to know the inside story better than anyone else
Just when Xu Jiangzhe was thinking about how to get rid of these reporters, another group of people walked out from the exit of the court. When Xu Jiangzhe saw the parents walking in front of him with one hand supporting their forehead, his face suddenly changed. As expected, those sharp-eyed reporters abandoned Xu Jiangzhe as soon as they saw the faces of the people, and rushed to the front of Xu Weihai and his wife, who had no idea what was going on.
When Xu Weihai and his wife were surrounded by reporters and their faces turned pale, but they couldn't do anything else, a black car slowly drove past them not far away.
Through the slightly opened car window, Bai Yichen looked at the chaotic scene outside the car window and said, "You found a good person."
Fang Ruoming smiled modestly: "For this kind of thing, as long as there is a little news, these reporters will run away faster than anyone else."
After a pause, Fang Ruoming hesitated and said, "However, Brother Bai, you revealed this information so thoroughly, aren't you afraid that it will affect your future life?"
That's right, these reporters were hired by Fang Ruoming at the instruction of Bai Yichen. To Bai Yichen, since Xu Weihai dared to do that kind of thing, he should bear the consequences of being cursed by everyone.
Hearing Fang Ruoming's question, Bai Yichen said calmly, "People are condemning them, why should I be afraid of being affected?"
Fang Ruoming looked at Bai Yichen's calm appearance and suddenly realized that his brother Bai actually had a very calm and strong heart.
Bai Yichen watched the embarrassed appearance of Xu Weihai and his wife for a while, then let the car drive away. Then after a while, Xu Weihai and his wife did file an appeal, and the second trial was held again.
However, after so many days of fermentation, the public has already known a lot about the affairs of the Baixu Group and what Xu Weihai and his wife did to Bai Ziqian, and the behavior of Xu Weihai and his wife has undoubtedly aroused public anger.
The public is empathetic. If you imagine yourself dying in a car accident, but the inheritance that should have been left to your child is instead occupied by an unscrupulous guardian, and not only that, the guardian has been illegally abusing the child for so many years in order to prevent his evil deeds from being discovered, the behavior of Xu Weihai and his wife has simply touched the bottom line of human conscience. Not to mention that later a reporter found out that Xu Weihai and his wife used to be close friends with Bai Ziqian's parents, and it was because of this that Xu Weihai and his wife won the guardianship of Bai Ziqian ahead of others. For a while, more than one person shouted the slogan of preventing fire, theft and friends.
Because the case was so bloody and infuriating, and because it lasted a long time and involved a well-known local company, the heat of the incident soon spread beyond the local media and could be seen on online media nationwide. Even overnight, on a popular social software, the Baixu Group guardian embezzlement case was the top searched topic.
With this level of social attention, the outcome of the second trial was predictable. The appeal by Xu Weihai and his wife not only failed to win them a reduced sentence, but due to the bad social impact, they were almost given a heavier punishment. The result of the second trial scared Xu Weihai and his wife so much that they broke out in cold sweats and never mentioned an appeal again.
At the same time, after resolving the Xu family's affairs, Bai Yichen once again filed a lawsuit and took three law firms to court. These three law firms were the ones that accepted his commission 12 years ago but in the end lacked professional ethics and were bribed by Xu Weihai.
To Bai Yichen, Xu Weihai and his wife are hateful, but these three law firms are equally unforgivable. If these three law firms had not been easily bribed by Xu Weihai and his wife 12 years ago, he would not have his freedom in life today, 12 years later.
The news that Bai Yichen sued three law firms was soon dug up by reporters who were following the follow-up of the incident, and they quickly released the news details to various media platforms for the public to read.
As the heat of the Baixu Group incident has not subsided, the news of the lawsuit against three law firms quickly became a hot topic, and after reading the report, the onlookers said that they were so scared that they dropped their melons. They had been condemning Xu Weihai and his wife, saying, "Bai Ziqian is so pitiful. He is obviously a rich second-generation, but his parents died unexpectedly and he lived such a miserable life."
There were also people who called Ziqian, "Come to my arms, baby." They all said that the second generation of rich people are the second generation of rich people. Their brains are different. At the age of 12, they knew to find a law firm to change their guardians. But unfortunately, the old fox Xu Weihai was more powerful and interrupted his plan. There were countless comments such as "a lot of high IQ, can't afford to offend" and so on.
For a time, the public was extremely interested in this second-generation rich man named Bai Ziqian. Unfortunately, although the matter of Baixu Group was very popular, no photo of Bai Ziqian was ever circulated. Even when the lawsuit was filed against the three law firms, the reporters who had already gone there discovered that Bai Ziqian himself was not present, but had an agent attend on his behalf.
At the same time, Xu Jiangzhe was looking at Xu Weihai in the visiting room. Xu Weihai, who was sitting in the visiting room, had a lot of white hair on his head, as if he had aged ten years overnight. He looked at his son outside the visiting room, and thought with relief that although he and his wife were in prison, at least his son was still out. At this time, he was glad for the first time that his son had not shown any interest in Bai Ziqian's property before, and his name was not on any of the signatures.
Because Xu Jiangzhe was still out there, Xu Weihai was not that worried even though he and his wife Liu Ling were both imprisoned, because he believed that with his son Xu Jiangzhe's ability, his son could keep the company going even if he was not there.
Xu Weihai forced himself to explain to his son everything that needed attention in the company. At the end, he asked, "How is the matter of the compensation ordered by the court being handled?"
After receiving his son's expressionless answer and informing him that all the compensation had been paid, Xu Weihai was in a daze for a while, but in the end he just sighed and said that it was good enough to pay it back.
In the past, Xu Weihai thought he was fearless, but after really experiencing the calamity of prison, he realized how wonderful life outside was, how free the air was, and that sometimes it was enough to have enough money to squander, and he shouldn't be so greedy. However, Xu Weihai thought of something and soon sneered again. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Humph, does Bai Ziqian think that he has won the case completely? Does he think that he can keep these things after he takes them back? He is so naive. With his ability, he will be eaten alive by others."
Hearing Xu Weihai's words, Xu Jiangzhe raised his head suddenly.
Xu Weihai, who was too familiar with the cruelty of the business world, knew very well that even though Bai Ziqian had some talent when he was young, he had never let him touch business or books related to current affairs over the years, and he was so lazy that he didn't know how to distinguish grains. Even if Bai Ziqian got back his inheritance, he would still be just a five-year-old child holding a piece of precious jade in a busy city. He was just waiting for the moment when Bai Ziqian thought he had everything, but fell down hard.
