Chapter 370: Sun Ziming, Guilty

In the courtroom, to everyone's surprise, Ma Qingwei apologized to Sun Ziming through his lawyer, and asked Ma Qinglin to help him up from his wheelchair and stand on the plaintiff's bench and bow to Sun Ziming.

"Your Excellency Judge, I am entrusted by my client to waive civil compensation. If Mr. Sun can apologize to my client, Mr. Ma Qingwei, we will apply for an out-of-court settlement. ”

Hundreds of pairs of eyes in the courtroom looked at Sun Ziming, who was standing in the defendant's seat, this was the happiest situation. Lawyer Zhong in the lawyer's seat, as well as Uncle Zeng and Li Zekai in the auditorium, listened to it, and their hearts were finished.

It was a battle of wills, and it was impossible for a British judge to understand Chinese ethics. insulting his parents and having passed away, and Sun Ziming is a person with a head and a face, how can this be possible? When there is money to a certain point, economic interests can be put aside first, and the scene must be supported. And face is the most important scene, once this scene is gone, how do you let Sun Ziming gain a foothold in Hong Kong?

This Ma Qingwei's usual disguise is too good, and he has deceived everyone, including those pervasive paparazzi. This guy is not a playboy who relies on his father's shadow as his appearance and rumors, but a ruthless character who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger. He admitted his mistake and apologized, which seemed to be a loss of face, but as long as Sun Ziming stayed in prison for a long time, he would get back any face and save his social reputation.

Sun Ziming, who was standing in the defendant's dock, felt like a big stone in his heart, feeling that the big thing was not good, and he might really be planted in the hands of the fat pig this time. The matter has been so troubled that everyone in Hong Kong knows that they cannot back down, and once they bow their heads, it will be an unpredictable chain reaction. Exercise! There are really no stupid people in this world, this Ma Qingwei is ruthless enough!

After being silent for a while, Sun Ziming said slowly but resolutely: "No, I may be guilty, but I firmly believe that I am not wrong." ”

With Sun Ziming's refusal, things began to go in the other direction as he had speculated, and the public opinion he had obtained through the media had disappeared from the judges and juries. Ma Qingwei on the plaintiff's bench also flashed a bright color in his eyes, Sun Ziming is a decrepit boy, this time it can be regarded as planting, right?

With Sun Ziming's refusal, the prosecutor began to prosecute. As expected, there is no doubt about the course of the conflict that took place in the restaurant, as well as the forensic examination. The spearhead of both sides pointed directly at whether Sun Ziming was intentional, and the prosecution insisted that he did it on purpose.

Li Zekai, the lobby manager, and the waiter appeared in court in turn to testify, truthfully stating the conflict that occurred that day, and once again confirming that it was Ma Qingwei who provoked the front and Sun Ziming who acted behind.

Prosecutor: After Mr. Sun Ziming used a chair to knock down my client, Mr. Ma Qingwei, my client reacted, and avoided it and begged for mercy, right?

Witness: Right

Prosecutor: Mr. Sun Ziming turned a deaf ear and continued to chase and beat him until Mr. Li Zekai pulled him away from you, right?

Witness: Right

Prosecutor: Your Excellency, I don't have anything more to ask.

At the judge's suggestion, Lawyer Zhong began to ask, "Please repeat to the witness how Mr. Ma Qingwei provoked my client." ”

Witness:......

The judge did not understand these insults, and the jury began to exchange glances with each other, Ma Qingwei was too vicious, and these words would overreact to any person, let alone a young man in his early twenties.

Then began to summon another party, Guan Zhilin, who had not slept for two days and one night for today's court appearance. When Guan Zhilin stood on the witness stand, even the judge was a little moved, the beautiful woman who was usually radiant on the screen was already described as haggard, as if she was ten years old.

Prosecutor: Miss Guan, you mentioned in the transcript that Mr. Sun has a good impression of you and that you are friends. He gave you a three-movie contract, agreed to an advance, and you had physical contact, right?

Kwan: Right

The audience was in an uproar, and Juanzi, who was in the auditorium, had a dark face, staring at Sun Ziming in the defendant's seat, and his eyes were like knives. Sun Ziming felt Juanzi's eyes, and looked at Guan Zhilin with a weak heart.

Prosecutor: Your Excellency, I'm done with my question.

Lawyer Zhong got up and walked up to Guan Zhilin, "Miss Guan, sue me, how did you and my client meet, and what is the matter with your film contracts and advance salaries?"

Guan Zhilin choked up and said in a low voice: "Mr. Sun and I met at Mr. Zou Wenhuai's birthday banquet...... We were sitting in the garden chatting, maybe we could all speak Chinese, we were chatting happily, and we had physical contact.

He gave me a film contract and an advance because my father, Mr. Guan Shan, used to be an actor in the Great Wall Film Company and now in the Yindu Organization. My father was not in good health and had internal rheumatism, so Manager Zhang of Yindu helped me talk about it, and Mr. Sun gave me a three-film contract and agreed to pay me an advance. He said that the most painful thing in life is that 'the son wants to raise but does not wait for the parent'.

Because my salary was not stable, Wang Jing, the deputy general manager of the light and shadow company at that time, objected, saying that the light and shadow company could not set this precedent, and would rather lend me money than advance the salary. Mr. Sun said, 'Filial piety comes first', which is a compliment to my filial piety to my father, which is what is known on their board of directors. ”

Sun Ziming saw that some people in the auditorium began to applaud, and he was a little proud. It's good to be generous, you still have to pick up girls, you should be unlucky! Ma Qingwei's face darkened, and he asked people to buy off this bitch's agent, and he actually made such a big oolong. It seems that Sun Ziming also reacted quickly enough, so I don't know what the price he offered.

……

Prosecutor: Honorable jury and judge, Mr. Sun Ziming is an extraordinary artistic and commercial genius who was able to build a film company with assets of more than $1 billion in one year, and also guided his family members to build a large supermarket chain with more than 150 branches in the mainland. Let's ask, if such human feelings are easy to get out of control, how did he do this? There is only one explanation, in addition to Mr. Sun's extraordinary genius, he also has quite strong self-control.

We all know that there are so many beautiful women in the film industry, and a genius director like Mr. Sun will be tempted by many temptations, such as money, women, and drugs. However, he has been in Hong Kong for more than a year, except for having a girlfriend, have we heard any scandals or negative news about him? This shows his self-control, so we believe that Mr. Sun did not lose his mind when he was in the restaurant that day. …… I urge the jury and the judge to convict Mr. Sun Tzu Ming of intentional injury.

Mr. Zhong: I do not deny that my client has extraordinary genius and super self-control, but people have weaknesses, and my client's weakness is his life experience. Dear Jury and Judge, this is my client's resume. When Mr. Sun was born, his mother died of postpartum hemorrhage, and his father worked hard to raise him as an adult. Just when he was admitted to Yenching University, the most prestigious university in Chinese mainland, his father died of a cerebral hemorrhage due to excitement.

Honorable jury and judge, no matter how much self-control my client has, these past are also an untouchable scar. And Mr. Ma Qingwei, knowing that it was a misunderstanding, still ruthlessly uncovered this scar, and my client lost his mind under anger, which led to the later conflict.

Another point to point out is that the first thing my client, Mr. Sun Tzuming, did after he came to his senses was to surrender himself to the Repulse Bay Police Station. This point is left to the discretion of the jury and judge.

……

The judge raised his gavel and struck it, solemnly announcing, "Now the court is adjourned for 30 minutes, and the jury is invited to leave the courtroom to deliberate." ”

With a routine call from the bailiff, Sun Ziming nervously looked at the gray-haired judge under the wig, and he asked Evan Lee about it, and the chief justice was a benevolent man and a person who was enthusiastic about public welfare.

Sun Ziming, led by the bailiff, walked into the defendant's lounge, and Lawyer Zhong, who had a heavy face, also came in. The two closed the door, and Lawyer Zhong said heavily: "Mr. Sun, things are more strict, we didn't expect Ma Qingwei to be so powerful, and he would admit his mistake and apologize first." ”

Sun Ziming sighed, Ma Qingwei's bastard played beautifully with retreat, worthy of being a son of a wealthy family, "Lawyer Zhong, according to your experience, how long will I be sentenced?" ”

Lawyer Zhong pondered for a while, recalled the expressions of the jury members, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Sun, you really don't think about apologizing?" Today's testimony of Miss Kwan Zhilin is very exciting, as long as you apologize, it is very likely that you will be sentenced to public service and other punishments outside of prison. ”

Sun Ziming shook his head, before he went to court, he thought very clearly, this matter could not be retreated. I was able to intimidate the community forces from the beginning, because I did not back down and did not compromise, and I would rather be broken than broken. Now as long as he retreats, what he did before will become a bluff, and he will make them look down on him.

More troublingly, this could set off a ripple effect. The current movie market is better, and the production strength of his company is so strong, it will definitely attract other forces to covet it.

Lawyer Zhong was not persuaded, sighed and began to revise Sun Ziming's final statement. Sun Ziming stared at the wall, the bastard next door must be very proud, right?

Ma Qingwei next door was indeed very proud, and patted the lawyer's shoulder vigorously with his uninjured hand, "Tall, you hang!" Lao Tzu salvaged his reputation with a bow, and let that bastard go to jail for a few more months! ”

Lawyer Huang groaned, opened his mouth and still didn't persuade Ma Qingwei. If you don't forgive, it's really hard to say what Mr. Ma's ending will be.

Ma Qingwei saw that his lawyer's face was a little bad, patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Huang Dazhuo, I'm not a fool, Huo Rong's old guy will come to me for tea, how can Sun Ziming be a good stubble?" In the future, we will not interfere with the water of the well, and we will go to the sky on each side of the road. ”

Lawyer Huang breathed a sigh of relief, this is the best.

Half an hour later, the two sides re-entered the courtroom, and the jury members closest to the judge, looked at Lawyer Zhong, saw that he had no reaction, sighed and handed the envelope in his hand to the bailiff.

The judge also sighed secretly, and said slowly to Sun Ziming: "Child, you are a kind-hearted genius who has made great contributions to this society. I hope you can reflect on yourself in prison and don't let excessive emotions ruin the gift God has given you. ”

'Bang' The judge hammered down the hammer and solemnly announced, "...... Mr. Sun Ziming was not guilty of intentional injury, but was guilty of negligent injury. …… The verdict is now as follows: the defendant Sun Ziming committed the crime of negligent injury and was sentenced to 18 months imprisonment and a fine of 20,000 yuan; It was decided to enforce the sentence of 18 months imprisonment and a fine of 20,000 yuan. …… Retirement"
