Stanley sat triumphantly in his office, having just received a call from his subordinates, and the sales of the new book "Lovely Bones" were so hot that many bookstores were queuing up to buy them, and many bookstores were asking for more supplies. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The book can already be booked for a place on the New York bestseller list, and there is no doubt that it will become a bestseller, but whether it can become a phenomenal book depends on its stamina.

After the broadcast of the Jim Allen show that Lance participated in two days ago, he heard the rumors, and someone at the headquarters praised his marketing strategy very much, effective, cost-effective, and full of positive energy, it was a perfect marketing plan!

After a while of sales statistics, probably the commendation notice from the headquarters will arrive, Stanley thought to himself, but unfortunately Lance doesn't know what is crazy, on the first day of the new book's release, he actually excused himself to something, and he doesn't know where to go, otherwise he is there, combined with a few live activities, and then contact the media to build momentum, the sales will definitely be more popular!

As for Xu An, the author? Stanley didn't think about it at all, and in this matter, in this book, Lance's topicality is undoubtedly the original author.

Sometimes Stanley wonders: Why isn't the author Lance?

I don't know what kind of **** luck Lance went, although he suffered misfortune, but he actually found such a new author!

Thinking a little sourly, Stanley didn't forget to pick up the phone and contact the publishing department and ask them to hurry up and print it.

At the same time, the trial in the Manhattan District Court was going on, and it was at its most critical point.

For such a small case, the judge and the jury have no intention of trouble, and if it were not for the good lawyers hired by both sides, the trial would probably not even take an hour.

The old judge looked directly at Xu An, unable to see any feelings and tendencies, and he asked, "Defendant, do you regret everything you have done?" ”

When Chris heard this, he frowned and looked at Xu An, opened his mouth, but said nothing.

Xu An's relatives and friends in the auditor also looked at him together, Catherine shook her head, looking anxious and helpless, Emily kept nodding her head, as if this could affect Xu An and make him nod along with him, Taylor didn't move, his expression was a little tangled.

Xu An looked at Chris, then at the jury, took a deep breath, and said: "I don't regret it, if I do it all over again, I will probably make the same choice, I know this is against the law, but sometimes, some people, always make people have to do this!" ”

After speaking, he glanced at Andrew next to him, and almost wrote two words on his face: deserved!

Andrew's defense lawyer couldn't help but laugh because he had defeated the law firm of House in the trial.

The old judge frowned and asked in a deep voice, "If this court sentences you to apologize to the victim, will you obey?" ”

Xu An didn't look at anyone this time, and said without hesitation: "I refuse!" ”

Chris sighed inwardly: this kid is as stubborn as his grandfather Garfield!

Catherine closed her eyes, Emily was a little anxious, and Taylor smiled in her tangle.

Andrew's lawyer smiled and said: "There is evidence that the defendant Mr. Xu An has mastered an ancient and violent fighting skill, Chinese kung fu, and he used this fighting skill to seriously injure Mr. Andrew, I have reason to believe that he has violent tendencies, this kind of person is completely... ”

Hearing this, Chris interrupted him without hesitation: "I am against it, Chinese kung fu, free fighting, karate, Muay Thai, wrestling, countless people in this world have mastered these fighting skills, is it just because of this that they are convicted?" In fact, Mr. Xu An has no violent tendencies at all, I have in my hands the comments of Xu An's middle school and university classmates and tutors, he is a caring young man who has never made drastic actions... ”

For a while, the two sides went back and forth, Andrew's lawyer complied with the request of his agent, and was bent on getting Xu An severely punished, while Chris continued to deal with him with his excellent defense skills.

The judge and the jury looked at the various materials submitted by both parties in front of them, and gradually had their own judgments, and the old judge knocked down the wooden hammer and said, "Adjournment, the verdict will be announced in ten minutes." ”

Chris patted Xu An's shoulder and said, "An, in this society, people sometimes need to compromise on dates. ”

Xu An spread his hands and compromised? Perhaps, but Andrew not only framed him, but also racially discriminated against him, how did this make him compromise?

He looked at Andrew, who was smiling, he was full of worried relatives and friends, making the enemy happy, and the people around him sad, this is the last thing Xu An wants to see, as for the punishment? It's not going to be life in prison or the death penalty, there's really nothing to worry about.

The reporter of the "New York Evening News" became more and more interested in this case, and he was also full of good feelings for Xu An, not only because he was his former colleague, but also because Xu An did something he had always wanted to do but did not dare to do!

That's right, it's what you want to do but don't dare to do, and that's to beat up your top boss.

His name is Stanley, and like Xu An, he also has a bastard supervisor, who is so happy and self-righteous, just because he inadvertently collided, he put him in the cold palace, and always arranged to visit some inconsequential news: just like today, the next robbery in court!

There are countless heisties in the United States in a day, and what reader is interested in following this? Even if this kind of news is written, it may not be published!

Thinking of this, Stanley clenched his fists hatefully, and suddenly had an impulse in his heart to be as happy as Xu An.

But thinking of his wife and a pair of lovely daughters at home, he let go of his hand again.

Life is always frustrating, but it has to go on, doesn't it?

Ten minutes passed quickly, and the old judge and the jury entered in turn, and at this time, everyone's eyes were focused on the judge, and they saw him look up, and said calmly with a blank face: "This is a very clear case of wounding, although it has various reasons, violence should not be abused. ”

"Please!" Catherine covered her mouth and whispered, and the others stared at the judge nervously, only Andrew and his lawyer smiled.

"In view of the plaintiff's clumsy false accusations, after the jury's discussion, the jury also considered a light sentence for a time, but ...... The defendant showed no remorse at all, and I think that his use of violence has exceeded the scope of what should be, and the defendant refuses to apologize to the plaintiff, so ......"

Stanley could already foresee the latter result, he cursed secretly, Lance frowned, but looked helpless, Emily felt a heart sink to the bottom, eager to rush up and gag the judge's mouth, Taylor, like Catherine, drew a cross in front of him: "God willing!" ”

Ignoring the expressions of the crowd, the judge continued: "The jury found the defendant Xu An guilty of intentional injury, and since the defendant did not have the slightest remorse, the jury unanimously agreed that he needed to receive a sufficiently heavy sentence, therefore, Xu An was ordered to pay the victim $80,000 for medical treatment and rehabilitation, and sentenced Xu An to 240 days in prison without probation, without bail, and to serve his sentence in Romlag Prison for immediate execution!" ”

After the judge's verdict was completed, the audience exclaimed, 80,000 compensation, 240 days in prison, this is acceptable and expected, but even Chris didn't expect that the judge not only did not give a suspended sentence, but even blocked the road to bail!

"Damn it!" Stanley scolded secretly, and saw the judge knock on the gavel, and said in a deep voice: "Quiet, Xu An, you can file an appeal, but the judgment of this court has taken effect and must be executed immediately, I have seen the materials submitted by your lawyer, you are an excellent young man, but you have made a dangerous move, I hope you can remember this lesson, and when you encounter problems, you can try to solve them by means other than violence, instead of spending the rest of your life in prison." ”

Xu An was silent, this was a result he didn't expect, although until now if the judge asked him if he regretted it, he would still give his own answer without hesitation, but now he didn't even dare to look back at the auditorium behind him, he could vaguely hear Catherine's low sobs coming from there.

He suddenly remembered what his grandfather said: Those who are relatives are bitter and those who are enemies are fast! Xu An didn't know what he could do to avoid making his relatives and friends sad, but let him apologize to Andrew? Is that still the familiar self?
