238, I Want to Be a Good Person 11
If you hadn't hired so many top lawyers and the huge operation team behind the other party, you might not be able to complete all the lawsuits in a short time. You know, the court also has a process for accepting cases. It's not that you can immediately accept the court and send a lawsuit letter.
Of course, this is also inseparable from the convenience of the Internet. When you think you have hidden your identity on the Internet, you don't know that all your information is in the big database of many companies, your mobile phone number, your real name, and your current address. When it comes to criminal cases, those forums where you have registered as a member will never protect your personal information.
Almost on the day when most people received the lawyer's letter, the Internet exploded completely.
Some people reprimanded Sina and other platforms for leaking their personal information, and some people insulted Yan Chu more crazily. They didn't think there was anything wrong with their words and deeds on the Internet. Biting to death was a strange trick Yan Chu came up with to divert attention. They were angry and afraid. If Yan Chu was in front of them at this time, he might be bitten to death by them.
Of course, there are still a small number of people who regret it. When they typed those words on the keyboard, they never thought that they would cause those troubles. They are all ordinary people. No one can imagine what kind of ending will be waiting for them if they really go to court and if Yan Chu is really innocent.
According to the first paragraph of Article 246 of the Criminal Law, if someone publicly insults others or fabricates facts to slander others by violence or other means, and the circumstances are serious, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, detention, control or deprivation of political rights.
Once this crime is established, it means that their personal records will be left with a criminal record. At the least, it will affect their future overseas travel. At the most, it also means that they will not be able to get various public positions and institutions. Similarly, it is very likely to affect their future career development.
It is obvious that discrimination exists in society. From top groups to small private enterprises, how many bosses can be open-minded enough to hire an employee who has been in prison and has a criminal record.
Is it because of a few random words they said on the Internet that they will ruin their second half of life?
These people were furious, but when they really started to fight, they couldn't help but retreat, because once they switched to reality, many of them were timid and afraid of trouble, and they only dared to shout loudly on the Internet.
But these angry people never thought about what the few words of scolding in their eyes meant to the people on the other end of the network.
Words can sometimes weave the most beautiful poems and songs, and at the same time, they can also be transformed into a weapon for killing.
In the previous life, the original body's ending was not without their help, and no one was innocent.
[Ten million... Forgive me, a layman, how many zeros are there in ten million? Let me calculate how much money I can earn by moving bricks for hundreds of years]
[I feel like I have been slapped in the face. Ten million is enough to support ten old ladies, right? 】
[The person above, the price of helping an old lady is very high, but 10 million is enough for five people]
Originally, the bloody storm under Yan Chu's Weibo was scared off by his thousands of lawyers' letters. Except for a few netizens who were angry and jumped up and down, more people came to the scene after hearing that someone spent 10 million to sue for defamation.
Because of this amount that was beyond everyone's expectations, the doubts about Yan Chu seemed to be cleared at once.
According to common sense, if you hit an old lady, at most you would have to pay some money. Your family is poor, and you don't want to admit the debt, so you deny it. This idea is easy to understand, but it is obviously not true for Yan Chu.
He is not poor, on the contrary, he is rich. A young man of this age, without the support of his elders, studied the stock market by himself and accumulated a fortune of one million. Would such a person do such an irrational thing as denying a mere one million in compensation?
Anyway, in the eyes of netizens, a young man who has the brain to trade stocks should not be so stupid.
Besides, who are the lawyers Yan Chu hired? Each of them is a big shot in the legal world, not to mention that there are five of them. If they were not sure, would they take on this case?
Some smart people vaguely understood that Yan Chu probably still had a trump card that could ensure the victory of this lawsuit.
This case involves the most popular incident of helping the elderly, as well as the countless cyber violence that has been raised since the popularization of the Internet. In addition, the social influence that the case has accumulated since its development, and this is also the lawsuit with the largest number of people involved in history. As a lawyer, this will be a milestone case for them. Those big lawyers will take over this case, in addition to the really generous remuneration, I am afraid this is also the reason.
[Glad that I didn't say anything radical at the beginning]
[Brother Yan, I've got my eyes on xxx stock, do you know how you think it will rise in the future]
[Brother Yan, would you mind opening a small class to teach the secrets of stock trading]
[God of stocks, are you still missing leg accessories]
For a while, Yan Chu's Weibo was peaceful and the most discussed topic was about stock trading.
Of course, it doesn't mean that just because Yan Chu sued so many people at once and paid such a sky-high litigation fee, everyone would believe his innocence.
There are also some people who are firm in their original positions, but with the lessons learned from the thousands of people before, they dare not leave messages on the Internet casually. Even if they express their own opinions, they know to avoid some insulting words as much as possible, and try to blur their opinions as much as possible, and not to say that Yan Chu is the culprit who hit the old man.
Of course, at this time, the most nervous people must be Xu Shufen and Fu Daidi and others. They never thought that the wind direction could change so quickly.
There is also Lawyer Jiang. He thinks he has a little reputation in the industry, but compared with the five industry masters invited by Yan Chu, he is nothing.
*****
Because there are many defendants and the defendants' original addresses are different, many cases need to be tried in the defendant's original court, and they have to wait for the court to accept the case, which takes different lengths of time. Therefore, it will take a long period to complete all the lawsuits. Many people who once wanted to sue similar cases also gave up because of these reasons. The money, time and energy you need to spend here are unimaginable for ordinary people.
But now Yan Chu obviously doesn't care about those things.
Those cases of online insult and defamation did not require him to be present in person, and he could entrust a lawyer to handle them. However, it was obviously impossible for him to be present in person in the case of Fu Daidi and others.
Not long after he issued thousands of lawyers' letters, the case in which he had already appealed about hitting Fu Daidi with his car and causing disability was about to go to trial. However, because this case was filed by Fu Daidi, he played the role of the defendant in this court.
"Please ask the plaintiff's witness to appear in court."
Fu Daidi was also well prepared. In the court, a middle-aged man who looked white, fat and wealthy appeared in the court. The other party's lawyer handed a stack of photos to the judge.
This was the son of Fu Daidi's neighbor. According to the other party's self-report, he had moved out of the urban village more than ten years ago and did not have a close relationship with Fu Daidi's family.
At that time, he was going home to visit his old mother. On the way back to his own home, he recalled the memories of his childhood life in that area and could not help but stop the car to take a few photos. The photos that Lawyer Jiang handed to the judge were the best evidence.
According to his oral statement, he saw Yan Chu's Santana with the license plate Zhejiang xxxxx hit someone, but he didn't see clearly who the other party hit. However, he saw the driver, Yan Chu, get out of the car to help the fallen figure. Adhering to the principle of less trouble, he drove past quickly and didn't take it to heart.
It was not until later that he learned from his mother's phone that Mrs. Fu was hit by someone and the driver went missing after sending her to the hospital that he realized that the person he saw being hit was Mrs. Fu. Therefore, under the persuasion of his mother, he stood up to testify.
Because of the appearance of this witness, there was a small commotion in the audience.
He was just the son of an ordinary neighbor. It seemed unnecessary to help Fu Daidi and Zhang Baozhu and others bear the risk of being discovered for perjury. In this way, the credibility of his words was still relatively high.
Was it really Yan Chu who hit someone?
Listening to the whispers from the audience, Lawyer Jiang's frown relaxed a lot. He smiled slightly. Maybe he could really win a game from those big shots. In this way, wouldn't he be more famous in the legal profession?
"Please ask the defendant's witness to come to court."
Defendant's witness?
Lawyer Jiang's smile didn't last long, and it froze. What kind of witness could the defendant have? He glared at Zhang Baozhu and others with an ugly face. They had clearly promised in advance that there would be no other witnesses at the scene.
Zhang Baozhu and others also felt puzzled. At that time, they had observed that there were few vehicles passing by that section of the road, and there were even fewer pedestrians. Since Mrs. Fu fell there, no pedestrians passed by. Even if there were vehicles, there were very few. Except for Yan Chu, other vehicles did not stop.
So now a witness suddenly came out, what's going on?
"Before the incident, I drove past that road section. My dashcam also recorded that scene. Although the picture is a bit blurry, I can clearly see that when my car passed by, there was already an old man lying there."
A middle-aged man who looked honest and kind appeared. He looked at Yan Chu with a hint of shame.
In fact, he should have stood up earlier.
