At this moment, not only was there a flash of panic in He Mingqian's eyes, even Xu Baohan, who was sitting behind him, was stunned.
After a while, he came back to his senses. Zhao Gui had already walked into the courtroom.
Xu Baohan furrowed his brows. He couldn't figure out what method An Lan had used to call Zhao Gui up.
Song Ruixue presented two photos to the judge. "The two people in the photos are Zhao Gui and He Mingqian's assistant. The location was at the entrance of the courthouse. I still remember that some time ago, Zhao Gui lost the case and was beaten up on the roof of the courthouse. He Mingqian was the one behind it."
"Nonsense, I didn't." He Mingqian stood up anxiously. "I didn't know that my assistant had been in contact with Zhao Gui. You're slandering me just based on two photos."
"Silence," the presiding judge scolded sternly. "Silence the noise in the courtroom."
Song Ruixue looked at Zhao Gui and pointed at He Mingqian with his other hand. "I want to ask you, have you seen him before?"
Zhao Gui nodded. "That day, I lost the case and was very indignant. I scolded Xu Baohan in court and Xu Baohan got someone to bring me out of the courthouse. I made a scene at the entrance. It was this person's assistant who said that if I wanted to save my son, I should go with him. Then, I saw him in the car not far from the courthouse. He said that Xu Baohan was helping my son's murderer. Even if Xu Baohan communicated with the people in the court, he still couldn't help my son. He said that the waters in your industry are very deep."
He Mingqian's expression became more and more tense, and the presiding judge on the stage also frowned.
Zhao Gui nervously moistened his tongue before continuing, "He said that if I made a scene at the door, I would definitely be arrested by the police. It would be useless to make a scene, so I could only commit suicide to blow up the matter and attract the media's attention. I asked him why he was investigating my son's lawsuit because of Xu Baohan's corruption. I asked him why he was helping me, and he said that Xu Baohan used his power to bully others and stole his girlfriend, and even wanted to ruin his reputation. He might not be able to become a lawyer, or he might even go to jail. I believed his words at that time, so I was encouraged by him to commit suicide. Fortunately, Xu Baohan saved me, and even fell from the 12th floor to save me."
Song Ruixue took over the conversation. "He Mingqian encouraged people to commit suicide at the edge of the rooftop for revenge and for his own personal goals. It had been raining for the past few days, and the rooftop was covered in moss, making it easy to slip. What difference was there between his actions and murder?"
"Objection," Zhou Yuan said anxiously. Just as he opened his mouth, Song Ruixue's cold words had already come over.
"What are you objecting to? Are you objecting that He Mingqian didn't instigate people to commit suicide, or are you objecting that he didn't commit murder?"
Zhou Yuan's scalp went numb. "I object to all of them. These are all one-sided statements from him."
"What if there are still these photos?" Song Ruixue asked someone to pass a stack of documents to the presiding judge. "Coincidentally, there are no cameras at the place where He Mingqian met Zhao Gui, but the store at the entrance has surveillance cameras. It happened to capture the scene of Zhao Gui getting into Song Ruixue's car."
After the presiding judge saw it, he glanced at He Mingqian coldly.
Song Ruixue continued to be aggressive. "He Mingqian, you said that Xu Baohan stole your girlfriend. I remember that you broke up with An Lan a long time ago, right? You said that Xu Baohan was corrupt, and you said that the court was too deep. Indirectly, you were hinting that Zhao Gui and the entire court were corrupt, implying that the court was unfair and incorruptible. Not only did you publicly destroy An Lan's reputation, but you also disparaged others and spread improper rumors.
You framed the country's conscientious judicial personnel, destroyed the prestige of the judicial authorities, and interfered with the normal activities of the judicial authorities. The circumstances were serious, and the means were vile. You almost caused someone's death. You have seriously violated the Criminal Law, but a person like you is still a lawyer. You are using your position to commit a crime. What right does a person like you have to be a lawyer? "
He Mingqian's face instantly turned pale.
He had originally discussed with Zhou Yuan that it was impossible to get rid of the crime completely. At most, he could argue in court that he didn't deliberately fabricate the facts, but he didn't expect the other party to call Zhao Gui out.
He couldn't figure out why Zhao Gui would stand up for them. Didn't he hate Xu Baohan to death?
If it was just a problem between him and An Lan, it would be fine if he paid some money, but if he was accused of destroying the prestige of the judicial authorities, he was basically finished.
The presiding judge took a deep look at He Mingqian. In the end, he was sentenced to compensate An Lan two million yuan for mental damage, revoke his lawyer's license, and be sentenced to three years in prison.
After the verdict, He Mingqian couldn't believe it. "No, I didn't do it. This is a framing. An Lan and Zhao Gui colluded. An Lan, you're so despicable …"
He rushed towards An Lan excitedly, but Xu Baohan was faster. He rushed over and protected An Lan behind him.
The law enforcement officers quickly came over to detain He Mingqian. He roared like a madman, "B * tch, I won't let you off."
"Up to now, not only have you not repented at all, you even openly insulted and threatened the parties in court. It seems that your sentence is too light," Xu Baohan warned him with narrowed eyes.
He Mingqian glared at him fiercely. "Xu Baohan, I …"
"I'm a judicial officer. Watch what you say," Xu Baohan said coldly. "The sentence is in the hope that you will repent. Don't tell me that you still don't have any remorse?"
He Mingqian bit his lip and didn't speak. Three years in prison was long enough. Even if he was released, he wouldn't be able to become a lawyer again. If this continued, his sentence might be increased.
But because of his excessive anger, his entire body was trembling.
An Lan narrowed her eyes and smiled at him, "I knew about Zhao Gui a long time ago. Do you know why I didn't make a move? I wanted to give you a fatal blow at the last moment. Senior Song and I have discussed it in private. We know how you and Lawyer Zhou want to fight this lawsuit, but unfortunately, you're wrong. From the beginning, what I wanted wasn't as simple as an apology and compensation from you. For a vicious person like you, going to prison to reform would be the best outcome."
He Mingqian's chest rose and fell.
An Lan leaned close to him and continued, "You shouldn't have provoked my man."
After saying that, she pulled Xu Baohan out of the courtroom without looking back.
When Xu Baohan heard her last sentence, his heart was floating.
Look at how powerful his woman was. He was bullied, and his woman helped him deal with it.
Too charming, his woman was really too charming.
Nian Junting held Luo Sang's hand and walked behind. He lowered his head and said to Luo Sang, "Listen to how An Lan protects her man. Look at how you usually protect me. You usually only know how to threaten me, warn me, and make fun of me."
Luo Sang glanced at him with a smile. "If you had been with An Lan back then, you would have been the one being protected by her today. Xu Baohan wouldn't have had a share, right, hubby?"
