Chapter 511 - 436: Verdict Announced! Wang Xiaoru Sentenced to 11 Years! (Part 2)
Wang Xiaoru was so angry her teeth were grinding.
She’d spent all that money to have Zhang Yun fight the case, and this was Zhang Yun’s attitude?
Fine, just you wait, Zhang Yun!
Once she got out, she’d immediately give Zhang Yun a bad review!
Finding a lawyer like this, Wang Xiaoru could only blame her own bad luck.
She’d spent money at least, right?
She spent money to hire a lawyer, and this is the quality of service she got?
In court she only said two sentences?
Who the hell could accept that?
Just wait, Zhang Yun, once she got out it was straight to a bad review!
Not only a bad review, she’d also expose Zhang Yun’s firm on Xiaohongshu!!
Wang Xiaoru had even thought up the opening copy already.
[Family, who can relate, I ran into the most trash lawyer today, took my money and did nothing.....]
Presiding judge Shen Jiarui had no idea how busy Wang Xiaoru’s inner drama was.
Shen Jiarui looked at Wang Xiaoru and said, "The defendant may now make a final statement."
This was also Wang Xiaoru’s last chance.
Or rather... Wang Xiaoru didn’t even have a last chance anymore.
The final statement... wouldn’t make much difference now.
After hearing that, Wang Xiaoru said, "Your Honor, I’ve already said everything I should say before. It’s not that I won’t pay the money back, I can write an IOU, I’ll definitely pay it back within twenty years! If I can’t pay it back, you can hold me responsible then! I’ll accept everything! As for Shen Fei, he has nothing to do with me, he still owes me compensation, how could I possibly refund him the money?"
Wang Xiaoru went on, "And can your court procedures speed up a bit? I really can’t take it anymore, your process is way too slow, can you stop wasting my time, okay? After you’re done sentencing I still have to go home, don’t delay my rest time... I’m very busy."
Wang Xiaoru said, "If this can’t be wrapped up today, I’m going to file a complaint against you."
With a completely arrogant look on her face, Wang Xiaoru didn’t have a single person here in her eyes.
She had just made plans with her male bestie to go out and have fun this afternoon...
The male bestie had even booked the hotel already, they were going to travel together.
After all, it’d be pretty hard for her to travel again in the future; her credit record might turn blacklisted.
Going on a trip now was still no big problem.
And Wang Xiaoru had prepared the money, she was going out to have fun with her male bestie, how could she let him spend a cent?
In the gallery.
When Du Jingguang saw Wang Xiaoru talking to the presiding judge like that, even he was speechless.
Like, what, is this Wang Xiaoru brain-dead or what?
Du Jingguang had thought Gu Chen was definitely going to lose this case.
But after a whole wave of brain-dead operations from Wang Xiaoru, she was probably going to send herself in.
Du Jingguang didn’t even want to keep watching; he went straight out the back door.
"Fuck, Wang Xiaoru is a complete idiot. How can she talk to the presiding judge like that in court? Can’t she just have a decent attitude? She doesn’t know that’s the presiding judge? She doesn’t know she’s going to prison? This case was a god-tier favorable matchup to begin with, and in Wang Xiaoru’s hands she played it into this mess. As long as she paid some money and admitted fault, she wouldn’t end up with any charges at all, but she managed to litigate herself into this, truly brain-dead. No wonder the defense lawyer isn’t saying a word."
"Give this case to me and I still wouldn’t be able to help her win. Don’t even say me, even if Gu Chen went to help this kind of brain-dead client, he probably couldn’t win either," Du Jingguang said angrily.
The assistant asked on the side, "Brother Du, is it really that serious? Is this Wang Xiaoru really that brain-dead?"
Du Jingguang said, "Who could possibly help her? With that attitude of hers... there really aren’t many people who dare talk to a presiding judge like that. You know what someone said to a presiding judge in court before?"
The assistant asked, "What?"
Du Jingguang said, "That guy said in court: [You think I’m afraid of you, judge?] [If you’ve got the guts, shoot me dead.]"
The assistant suddenly understood, "Oh, and in the end that guy got sentenced to death... I’ve heard of that one."
Du Jingguang said, "Wang Xiaoru really is an idiot. No top lawyer could help her win this case. Just wait for the next one; this one’s dead in the water. She’s looking at at least seven years to start with, spending the rest of her life in prison. To this moment she still doesn’t know she’s going to jail, doesn’t have half a brain."
...
The viewers in the livestream were all stunned.
[66666666666!]
[This is only the second time I’ve seen someone go at a presiding judge like that!]
[The last one who mouthed off to the presiding judge went straight in.]
[Hahaha, other than Lawyer Gu, who dares slap back at the presiding judge in court? Got a death wish or what?]
[Don’t hate for nothing, Lawyer Gu literally sent the presiding judge in; why else would people call him the Lawless Madman?]
[Isn’t it obvious Wang Xiaoru’s going in too? She was already going to be sentenced, and she still wants to be tough-mouthed. Even a god can’t save her now, they’ll just tack on more charges and give her a couple extra years.
At this moment, presiding judge Shen Jiarui struck the gavel.
Everyone perked up.
A lot of viewers who had gone to check out the rape case came back to see the verdict in this one.
Shen Fei, Wang Haidi, and Zhang Ruihua were all listening to how the court would rule in the end.
Meanwhile, Wang Xiaoru was sitting in her chair with her eyes closed, resting.
Finally, it was time for the verdict.
This court really took a lot out of her...
She was absolutely sure she’d win this case.
After all, she’d been beaten by Shen Fei and still had to get a chunk of mental damages and compensation out of him. Why wouldn’t Shen Fei compensate her two hundred thousand?
As for losing the case, the thought honestly never crossed Wang Xiaoru’s mind.
After all, it was Shen Fei who’d sued her in the first place....
She’d won at first instance, there was no way she’d lose on appeal.
...
Shen Jiarui spoke up: "The court now pronounces judgment as follows."
"First, the criminal liability."
"One, Wang Xiaoru posted Shen Fei’s personal information online without authorization, including his ID card photo, phone number, and home address, causing a huge impact on Shen Fei’s normal life, seriously affecting his daily living, and even drawing many people to scribble all around his home. Her conduct has already constituted the crime of infringing upon citizens’ personal information."
"Two, Wang Xiaoru spread large quantities of rumors online to defame Shen Fei, publicly disclosed his privacy, and used insulting language and fabricated false facts, causing severe damage to his reputation. The total number of views plus reposts across the whole internet exceeded one hundred million, causing enormous mental harm to Shen Fei. In law, this has already constituted the crimes of insult and defamation."
"Three, Wang Xiaoru used various means, self-directed and self-acted, filmed videos, and collected ’evidence’ to falsely accuse others of rape, and used this to threaten Wang Haidi and Zhang Ruihua, extorting a total of 700,000 yuan. This has constituted the crime of extortion."
"Four, Wang Xiaoru refused to repay debts and maliciously transferred assets. According to Article 538 of the Civil Code, if a debtor transfers property at an obviously unreasonable low price, acquires others’ property at an obviously unreasonable high price, or provides security for another’s debts, thereby affecting the realization of the creditor’s claim, and the counterparty of the debtor knew or should have known of this situation, the creditor may request the people’s court to revoke the debtor’s act."
"All transfers of property under Wang Xiaoru’s name are invalid; such malicious transfers of property are null and void from the very beginning."
"According to Articles 253 and 246 of the Criminal Law of our country, Wang Xiaoru has committed the crimes of infringing upon citizens’ personal information, insult, defamation, and extortion, and she has shown no remorse, exhibits severe subjective malice, and refuses to undertake liability for compensation. She is sentenced to eleven years and six months’ fixed-term imprisonment, and fined 150,000 yuan."
"Next is the civil compensation liability."
"During the romantic relationship between Wang Xiaoru and Shen Fei, Wang Xiaoru induced Shen Fei to transfer funds under the pretext of marriage. The 250,000 yuan transferred by Shen Fei was a gift made for the purpose of marriage. But as Wang Xiaoru repeatedly cheated and became pregnant with another man’s child, their relationship broke down and they cannot marry, so Shen Fei’s gift is ruled invalid, and Wang Xiaoru shall return the 250,000 yuan to Shen Fei."
"Furthermore, after their breakup, Wang Xiaoru repeatedly spread rumors online, posting videos on Douyin, Xiaohongshu, and by various other means, causing Shen Fei to suffer long-term cyberbullying, severely impacting his real life and causing major mental harm. Wang Xiaoru shall compensate Shen Fei 200,000 yuan and publicly apologize."
