Too Bad I Take Things Seriously

Chapter 837: Chapter 301: The Defendant Who Offers No Resistance

After entering the courtroom.

Zhang Wei glanced at Qin Mu, offering a polite greeting.

Qin Mu responded with a nod.

Between the two.

They were already both rivals and friends.

Though Zhang Wei often defended these defendants, the personal relationship between the two was still quite good.

The foreign case he encountered last time...

Zhang Wei helped a lot with it.

He recommended several foreign lawyers.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to win the lawsuit so quickly and send those members of the fraudulent tour group inside.

"Dong—"

At exactly ten o’clock.

Judgment Chief Zhou Quanmin entered the courtroom with all the members of the panel, striking the gavel.

Announcing the official start of the trial.

"Today, the Second Criminal Court of the Jincheng District Court will hear the case involving 17 individuals from Yunxiao Culture Communication Co., Ltd, led by Nie Yunxiao, who are suspected of false advertising, fraud, and illegal fundraising."

"I will preside over this trial, legally forming a panel."

After reading the case details.

Zhou Quanmin directly proceeded to the trial stage, looking at the prosecution seat: "First, let the prosecutor explain the case background and indictment."

At the prosecution seat.

One of the prosecutors immediately stood up, solemnly reading aloud: "At the beginning of this month, our bureau received a report submitted by complainant Qin Mu, claiming that someone in Lianzhou was engaging in illegal fundraising under the guise of success studies."

"In the evidence submitted by Qin Mu, there were over a hundred victims who were deceived into participating in the so-called investment activities."

"After receiving the report materials, our bureau took it seriously, urgently discussed it, confirmed the authenticity of the case, and immediately filed it, urging the police to jointly investigate..."

His solemn voice echoed throughout the courtroom.

Meanwhile, at the defendant’s seat.

Nie Yunxiao trembled, finally understanding why he was suddenly arrested by Jin City’s police.

It was indeed Qin Mu who reported him.

He gritted his teeth.

Glancing covertly at Qin Mu beside the prosecutor. freёwebnovel.com

His heart filled with resentment, but he dared not voice it.

"In the subsequent investigation, our bureau discovered that 17 individuals, led by Nie Yunxiao, used the company’s name to promote success studies, deceiving a total of 1,274 small and medium-sized enterprise owners into participating in various investments."

"These included projects like selling cars, selling houses, investing in futures, investing in stocks..."

"The actions of Nie Yunxiao and the 17 others involved false advertising, fraud, and illegal fundraising, constituting serious crimes!"

"Therefore, our bureau filed a prosecution to Jin City Court, requesting a 17-year imprisonment for Nie Yunxiao, an 11-year imprisonment for Chen Pinli, and imprisonment for Wu Daoyi..."

The prosecutor’s voice was impassioned, recounting the evil deeds of Nie Yunxiao and others to the public.

And provided corresponding sentencing recommendations.

After hearing.

Nie Yunxiao’s face instantly fell.

Especially being watched by everyone around him, he could only lower his head.

Feeling a bit ashamed.

It’s said that this trial is public, and people online can watch the courtroom live.

He is now...

Completely ruined.

Coupled with the words Zhang Wei had told him before, he no longer finds life worth living.

While in the audience seat.

Zhang Qingyuan, Li Weiguo, and others listened to the prosecutor’s accusations, their expressions somewhat excited.

Staring at Nie Yunxiao in the defendant’s seat.

Pointing fingers.

"Man, fool people into studying success? He himself only has a middle school education, right? Does he have the nerve to teach others about success?"

"Really an eye-opener, the world is large, and indeed nothing is too strange."

"Were those people fools? Over a thousand people fell for it? Logically, those who can run a company shouldn’t be foolish."

"Probably they were desperate for success."

"It could also be that this Nie Yunxiao is very eloquent..."

"..."

The crowd lowered their voices.

Whispering.

The 17-year sentence...

Sparked interest in everyone.

It was far more exciting than the one- or two-year criminal cases they watched before.

In comparison.

The cases they observed before were nothing.

"Dong—"

"Order!"

Seeing the courtroom atmosphere grow noisy.

Zhou Quanmin, with a stern face, struck the gavel, reprimanding.

After the crowd quieted down again.

He looked at Nie Yunxiao: "Defendant, do you have any defense against the content of the prosecutor’s accusations just now?"

Nie Yunxiao heard the judge’s voice, raising his head with a complex expression.

Then he sighed deeply.

Accepting his fate: "I have nothing to say."

At this point.

No matter how much he argued, it would be of no use.

His lawyer Zhang Wei also informed him of the result from a professional standpoint.

Since he is a repeat offender.

He cannot receive a reduced sentence.

Any resistance is futile, better to conserve some energy.

Finish the trial early.

And rest in the detention center.

"Alright then, do you plead guilty to the three charges made by the prosecutor?"

Zhou Quanmin glanced at Nie Yunxiao in surprise, asking again.

If the defendant chooses not to defend...

Then they can directly proceed to the evidence presentation and sentencing processes.

Of course.

The precondition is the defendant voluntarily pleads guilty and declares their crime in court.

The trial...

Is every defendant’s last opportunity.

Even if they have admitted their crimes before, they can overturn previous testimonies at this time.

"I... plead guilty."

Nie Yunxiao lowered his head, readily admitted to the three charges.

Without any resistance.

"Since that’s the case, let the prosecutor present the evidence."

Zhou Quanmin nodded, turning to look at the prosecutor.
