Chapter 398: Trial

"It's going to be, it's going to be

"Hello audience friends, I am now in the Yanjing Intermediate People's Court, the protagonist of the upcoming trial must be familiar to many friends, yes, it is Xu Hanbai, the father of the popular actor Xu Chunqiu......"

"Eh, look over there, the one who got off at the gate of the court just now is Xu Chunqiu, right?"

"Xu Chunqiu is here, where is he?"

"I saw it, I saw it, the black car, and Mr. Lu went around and opened a car door for her. ”

"Although I can't see my face while wearing a mask, it must be her, or Mr. Lu sent her!"

"Xu Chunqiu looks quite low-key, guessing that he doesn't want everyone to pay too much attention to himself......"

“......”

Media reporters and onlookers swarmed up, locust-like instantly narrowed the encirclement, countless mobile phones and camera lenses aimed at her face.

"Miss Xu, do you have any thoughts on your father's case?"

"Miss Xu, did you visit your father when he was detained by the public security organs?"

"Miss Xu, have you ever found any clues in the process of getting along with your father?"

"Miss Xu, do you think your father's case will have an impact on your future career development?"

"Miss Xu, could you please answer our question positively?"

"Miss Xu, does your refusal to answer mean acquiescence?"

"Miss Xu......"

The crowd was like spoiled canned sardines, they had honorifics in every word, and they opened and closed their mouths with "excuse me", but the way they twisted their faces and scrambled forward made people feel less respectful.

Xu Chunqiu pursed the corners of her lips tightly, and she stood in place with her back straight, as tight as an expensive string.

Lu Xiu frowned and stretched out his hand for her to block the shot that almost hit her face, grabbed her arm and opened a way for her in the sea of people.

A few reporters who finally squeezed into the front row stretched out their hands and raised the work cards hanging around their necks, holding their cameras high and throwing out questions one after another.

Xu Chunqiu glanced at them with cold eyes, her eyes were slightly red, but her emotions were as calm as a pool of stagnant water that could not set off a trace of waves.

"Get out of the way. ”

The reporter's movements froze, and then he came up again, and took pictures with her like a dog skin plaster: "Miss Xu......"

Xu Chunqiu raised his eyebrows slightly: "I don't want to answer any questions, please get out of the way." ”

The reporter thought that she had stepped on her pain point, so she turned cold, and the reporter leaned up, and the microphone used for the radio almost touched her mask.

"Miss Xu, you ...... as a public figure"

"Public figures are human beings and enjoy the most basic human rights. Xu Chunqiu stopped and took a deep breath, "I've already said it, I don't want to answer any questions." ”

She stared at the ceiling for half a night last night, telling herself the same thing over and over again.

She has never been worthy of anyone.

But the reporters were still like flies, densely surrounded, buzzing and shouting, and they couldn't get rid of them.

A female reporter in a skirt was coldly squeezed by the person behind her, and was about to fall straight to Xu Chunqiu, but Lu Xiu blocked it for her with one hand, and her face darkened in anger.

"Stop shooting. ”

"Didn't she just say it clearly enough?"

Lu Xiu said word by word: "No one can choose their own parents, does her father's affairs have anything to do with her?"

"Don't come to harass the victim, thank you. ”

He pulled Xu Chunqiu up and pushed the door into the courthouse, I don't know when it started, the hand holding Xu Chunqiu's wrist became ten fingers intersecting with her.

The paparazzi reporter couldn't enter the courthouse, so she could only hold the telephoto camera outside and shoot "click", Xu Chunqiu took a deep breath and tidied up her clothes, and for a moment she felt like she was going to the battlefield.

"Let's go. ”

......

The judge in the black robe struck the hammer with a "bang": "Yanjing Intermediate People's Court, the court is now open." ”

"Bailiff, summon the defendant Xu Hanbai to appear in court. ”

It was in this situation that Xu Chunqiu met Xu Hanbai again.

He looked much older and thinner, with gray hair and a lifeless skeleton that she remembered burning with a cigarette butt.

HE WORE A BAGGY POLO SHIRT AND WAS ESCORTED INTO THE DEFENDANT'S SEAT BY TWO UNIFORMED BAILIFFS AND UNHANDCUFFED.

"The identity of the accused is verified below. ”

Xu Chunqiu sat in the auditorium, and the defendant's seat enclosed by a wooden railing was not far in front of her. The courtroom was silent, save for the sound of pages turning and the clerk's "click" of typing.

"Defendant, Xu Hanbai, do you have any other names?"

"Nope. ”

"Educated?"

"Technical secondary school. ”

"What is the profession?"

"There is no occupation. ”

"Have you ever been legally punished?"

Xu Hanbai was silent for a moment and did not answer immediately.

The defender told him that the law clearly stipulates that recidivism and drug recidivism should be sentenced at the discretion of the law, and he happened to have both sides.

The judge repeated in an aggravated tone, "Have you ever been punished by law?"

“...... Yes. ”

"What crime, what punishment?"

He broke the jar and said: "Trafficking in methamphetamine, sentenced to fifteen years." ”

"In accordance with the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law, this court today held an open court hearing in accordance with the law on suspicion of drug trafficking and extortion of the defendant Xu Hanbai, who was prosecuted by the Yanjing City People's Procuratorate. ”

"The victim, Lu Xiu, filed a civil lawsuit attached to the criminal case with this court, and an agent was entrusted to conduct the lawsuit on his behalf. ”

Xu Chunqiu's eyes widened in astonishment when he heard this, and he turned his head to look at Lu Xiu in surprise.

Victim?

Xu Chunqiu's brain was down for a moment, and when she reacted again, Xu Hanbai had already begun to tell the story directly.

“...... Yes, I admit that I used to blackmail Lu Xiu. ”

"Purpose? There is no special purpose, just a lack of money. ”

"I told him that if he didn't give me money, I would go and tell the media that Xu Chunqiu had a father who sold drugs, not only that, but she also abandoned her father who lived in a kennel, she was a complete white-eyed wolf!"

"As for Mr. Lu, I didn't force him, he gave it to me voluntarily. ”
