Chapter 162 The Complete Trial
"Xiao Chen, I hope you will give priority to the Pharmacist Association!"
Ignoring the shock of the crowd, Chairman Tian spoke sincerely to Xiao Chen.
"Even if it's just a nominal position, we don't need you to do anything, but we can provide you with all the conveniences!"
"Within your authority, we can give you the green light for anything; beyond your authority, all the pharmacists in the pharmacists' association will vouch for you!"
Chairman Tian was quite emotional and eagerly hoped that Xiao Chen would join the Pharmacist Association.
Because there have been regrettable precedents.
Previously, the Xia Kingdom's top leadership did not pay enough attention to medical talent, which led to some high-end elites joining foreign camps and causing huge losses.
Chairman Tian doesn't want to see that happen again.
A pharmacist who can break conventions and create miracles can play a godlike role in critical moments, saving people from dire straits.
“Xiao Chen…” The Xiao family members all looked at Xiao Chen.
These conditions are too tempting.
If Xiao Chen really becomes the president of the Pharmacist Association, he will rise to the top in one step and have the ultimate honor and status. Even if he does nothing, the Xiao family will be elevated and bring glory to their ancestors.
"I can join the Pharmacist Association, but as for the president position, I'd rather not," Xiao Chen said calmly.
"Great, that's wonderful!" Chairman Tian was overjoyed and almost danced with joy.
"From now on, you are a Hall of Fame pharmacist in our association. I will process the formalities for you as soon as I get back. You can tell me if you have any requests."
As soon as Chairman Tian finished speaking, the reporters in the courtroom immediately swarmed towards Xiao Chen, and all their cameras were pointed at him.
Everyone was eager to conduct the interviews.
Such a young, top-tier pharmacist, and the emergence of a longevity drug, will be sensational news worldwide!
Xiao Chen frowned and turned his face away.
He has never liked to show his face in public.
Seeing this, Chairman Tian gave the chief lawyer a wink.
"Stop!" the lawyer shouted.
"You can report the news about the Pharmacist Association adding a new Hall of Fame pharmacist, but all other information is classified. Anyone here who dares to leak a single word today will be dealt with by the Bureau of Secrecy."
Everyone was taken aback, and the media reporters returned to their seats dejectedly.
If the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics gets involved, it won't just be about punishing the individual; all their relatives and friends will be implicated...
It makes sense; a pharmacist who creates longevity drugs would face many risks if he frequently appeared in public.
"Now, let's continue discussing today's lawsuit," Chairman Tian said with a slight smile.
He looked at the barrister, whose expression froze.
"My Pharmacists Association's Hall of Fame pharmacists are meritorious national heroes, with a rank equivalent to that of a member of parliament. How dare you, a mere local regional lawyer, presume to presume to judge them?" Chairman Tian coldly rebuked.
The chief lawyer was startled and turned pale.
"I dare not! I am not worthy..." he shouted in a panic, his body already soaked in cold sweat.
In just a few short periods of time, Xiao Chen became a meritorious national hero...
Not to mention him, there's no one in the entire Jiang City who's high enough to conduct the trial.
He can't do it, and neither can that chief barrister.
Besides, things have come to this point, nothing else matters.
Even if Xiao Chen really infringes on someone's rights, it doesn't matter. His reputation as a national hero is enough to crush anyone.
The lawyer treated his guests with utmost respect, and the Tong family members looked displeased.
They looked at Song Wenjie, whose face was also ashen, and he didn't dare to say a word.
"Does this mean that even a national hero can break the law and be protected without consequence?" Tong Qingyun shouted through gritted teeth.
"Hmph, stubborn as a mule!" Chairman Tian snorted coldly, his face darkening.
He looked at the so-called witness, his gaze filled with pressure.
Do you know what the consequences would be for slandering a meritorious national hero?
"Those who slander will be executed, and their families will be excluded from national policy for three generations!"
"I'm giving you a chance now, don't go looking for your own death!"
The authoritative voice made the man's lips tremble and his legs go weak.
He glanced at the Tong family members, then knelt down with a thud.
"I was wrong! It was the Tong family who ordered me to do that! They gave me 100,000 yuan to frame Xiao Chen. In fact, the upgraded version of the Tong family's Awakening Pill has not been made yet, and there has been no substantial breakthrough!"
As the witness revealed his story, the Tong family's expressions changed drastically.
"He's lying! He's lying!" The Tong family woman stood up and loudly accused him.
"Do you even have the right to speak here?" the chief lawyer snapped, and the two men stammered and reluctantly sat down.
At this moment, the Tong family members were all feeling guilty and extremely frightened.
Even the top lawyer wasn't qualified to speak, the eldest son of the Song family pretended to be a bystander, and the witnesses turned around and accused them. They were like being roasted over a fire, suffering immense torment.
Who could have imagined it would turn out like this?
“I have a guarantee here,” Xiao Chen said, taking out a yellowed piece of paper.
"More than ten years ago, my teacher saved the Tong family. When he gave them the formula for the Awakening Pill, he made the founder of the Tong family sign a guarantee..."
"The guarantee states that if the Tong family ever breaks their promise, the right to use the prescription will be revoked."
"What? There's such a thing?" The Tong family members couldn't sit still any longer, their faces showing shock.
They had no idea about this.
“Originally, my first day in Jiang City was to go to the Tong family to annul the engagement, intending to destroy this book after the engagement was dissolved. Unfortunately, you made the wrong choice,” Xiao Chen said indifferently.
The Tong family members stared, their mouths agape, as if a fishbone was stuck in their throats.
At this moment, endless bitterness spread through my heart.
Tong Qingyun looked full of regret.
If they had known that Xiao Chen was genuinely trying to break off the engagement that day, and had received him politely, none of this would have happened.
How did things escalate to this point?
The Tong family members all remained silent, their expressions complex.
Xiao Chen showed the guarantee to the chief lawyer.
“I have determined that this guarantee is legally binding,” the barrister said solemnly.
"Now that everything is clear, I will now deliver my verdict."
"The evidence presented by the Tong family in their lawsuit against the Xiao family for infringement is insufficient. The Xiao family has not committed any infringement, and no action will be taken against them. Furthermore, the Tong family colluded with Attorney Song to frame someone, which constitutes the crime of defamation. They will bear corresponding legal responsibility and will be required to pay the Xiao family 20 million yuan in damages for reputational damage."
The Tong family members were weak and their faces were ashen.
"The Song Dynasty legal official who knowingly violated the law is hereby stripped of his position as chief legal officer and sentenced to five years and seven months in prison!"
The barrister was struck dumb, and could not stand steadily.
Song Wenjie's face was as black as charcoal.
This is the strength of the Song family, and it's been lost just like that.
"As for those who make false accusations, if they voluntarily confess, they may be dealt with accordingly and sentenced to six years in prison."
The barrister delivered a resounding verdict to all parties, then rose to announce the case closed and the meeting adjourned.
Of course, the cameras and other equipment of the media reporters will be inspected, and some things cannot be leaked.
Looking at Xiao Chen, who was surrounded by a crowd and surrounded by a halo of light, Tong Anjin bit her lip, somewhat lost in thought.
"how so……"
She was extremely upset.
It wasn't that the Tong family lost the case, but rather that Xiao Chen was so dazzling that she couldn't open her eyes.
