Another World Resort: A Management Journey Starting with Food

Chapter 256



Chapter 256

Back in Hongshen's place, Li Ming sighed after hanging up the phone.

He certainly understood that Boss Feng wanted to help.

But even his family couldn't help with this, let alone Boss Feng, who was far away in Anhua.

He shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

He put on his coat and prepared to go out and take a look.

During this stroll, Li Ming ended up near the courthouse.

Since he had nothing else to do today, he decided to go in and listen in.

A one-sided lawsuit is taking place inside.

The defendant's lawyer remained almost completely silent, while the plaintiff's lawyer delivered a passionate and impassioned speech throughout the entire proceedings.

When the defendant's lawyer had to speak, he said very simply.

After listening for a while, Li Ming began to understand.

The defendant's lawyer was actually only arguing for the death penalty.

He did everything in his power to get the defendant sentenced to life imprisonment.

Aside from this point, he said almost nothing that was in the defendant's favor.

what happened?

Dawn's eyes narrowed.

Was the defendant's lawyer also bribed?

Or does the defendant know what heinous things he has done that makes the lawyers unwilling to defend him?

But the situation doesn't seem like it.

The plaintiff gritted his teeth in anger, while the defendant remained calm and composed.

In the end, when he heard that he had been sentenced to life imprisonment, the defendant didn't even blink.

Before leaving, he smiled and looked at the plaintiff:

"I only hate that your sons didn't die a more gruesome death. If I had another chance, I would have shattered them even more completely."

This sentence instantly enraged the plaintiff again.

The plaintiff almost rushed over to hit the defendant.

However, the judge intervened and stopped both sides.

"Everyone, calm down."

The judge said in a cold voice.

This puzzled Dawn a little.

The judge's attitude seems a bit off.

Why does it seem like they're on the side of the defendant?

With this question lingering, he intercepted the defendant's lawyer at the door.

"I'd like to ask, what exactly happened in this case?"

The lawyer didn't want to say it, but Leon Lai gave him too much.

Finally, he looked at the dawn:

"Let's talk somewhere else."

Once they arrived at their accommodation, the lawyer finally started talking.

Leon Lai was originally thinking about how to get the lawyer to talk, but he didn't expect that the lawyer seemed to have been holding back for a long time and started to pour out his heart as soon as he sat down.

It was through the lawyer that Leon Lai learned part of the truth.

It turns out that the defendant was a girl's father.

The girl died after being abused by the sons of the plaintiffs. In a fit of rage, the girl's father killed all those beasts.

"Logically speaking, there was room for rebuttal in this case, but after spending a few days in the detention center, my brother suddenly told me that he didn't want a not guilty plea anymore, he just wanted to avoid the death penalty."

The lawyer scratched his head, looking troubled.

"Logically speaking, in his situation, although a not-guilty plea is difficult, it's not entirely hopeless. However, he gave up on that path so easily, which I really can't understand."

“I was reluctant to do this because it would be a blow to my legal career, but my brother insisted. He said he would replace me if I didn’t do as he said.”

The lawyer shrugged, looking troubled.

"So that's how it is."

"How many days did he stay in the detention center? Which days? Which detention center did he stay in?"

Hearing about this man's experience, Dawn felt that the story sounded vaguely familiar.

Upon hearing the lawyer mention the specific time and detention location, Leon Lai suddenly had a bold guess.

No way?

He suppressed his shock, thanked the lawyer, and returned to his residence.

In the room, Sang Wenjun was looking at documents.

He is finalizing the script outline that the two of them wrote together.

When he saw Li Ming return, he raised his eyes to greet him, then lowered his head again.

He was completely oblivious to the complex expression on Li Ming's face.

"Wenjun, the matter is over, that's why I wanted to ask you."

Li Ming moved closer to Sang Wenjun.

"what's up?"

When talking to the dawn, Sang Wenjun was no longer afraid.

"Have you ever thought about killing those people who harmed Wanwan?"

"Dawn asked."

Upon hearing this question, Sang Wenjun froze.

Looking at Sang Wenjun's expression, Li Ming suddenly regretted asking the question.

"Fine, just pretend I didn't ask..."

"Of course I've thought about it!"

Sang Wenjun's roar was deafening.

This was the first time Li Ming had ever heard Sang Wenjun speak so loudly.

Sang Wenjun covered her face in anguish:

"Ever since I guessed that Wanwan was killed by them, I've wanted to kill them every single moment!"

“But Anwar gave me a chance, a chance to take revenge openly and honestly.”

Sang Wenjun's face was expressionless, tears streaming down her cheeks, her eyes constantly shifting between life and death.

"Wanwan told me that I should live an upright life and not let trashy people limit my life."

"So, this ending is enough."

Sang Wenjun looked at the dawn.

Seeing Sang Wenjun so lifeless, Li Ming was suddenly startled.

Yes, before, it was the thought of revenge that sustained him.

But can such punishment truly erase Sang Wenjun's hatred?

impossible.

But this was the best he could do.

Seeing Sang Wenjun's expression, Li Ming swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Forget it, it's still far from certain.

If Sang Wenjun finds out, something unexpected might happen.

Let's wait and see.

"Sorry, I misspoke."

Li Ming scratched his head, reverting to his usual talkative and cheerful self.

After a long silence, Sang Wenjun slowly uttered two words:

"fine."

……

Joan Jerry walked handcuffed down the road to her cell.

His wife passed away long ago, leaving him and his daughter to depend on each other for survival.

Originally, my daughter had been admitted to university and had a bright future ahead of her.

But those few little beasts ruined it.

He didn't regret killing those little bastards at all; what he regretted was why he had killed the big bastards from the disciplinary office along with those little bastards.

That's why he initially hoped for a not-guilty plea.

Because he still has people whose problems haven't been solved.

However, after he became a defendant, someone suddenly came to find him.

"I can help you deal with the parents of those little bastards, but I want you to go to jail and help me deal with a few other people."

The person was wearing a mask, so their face was obscured.

"How should I trust you?"

"Joan Jerry asked."

This is his only chance to be innocent.

This was his only chance to kill them himself.

If this person is lying to you, then you have no way to retaliate.

"You can decide for yourself. On the day of the trial, I will help you resolve the issue of a pair of parents. See if I can do it, and then decide whether you want to take on the case."

The man smiled.
