Chapter 263 - 258: The Male Protagonist with X-ray Vision
"Tong Li, you are suing me?" Ling Batian stood in the dock, gritting his teeth and glaring at Tong Li, his eyes brimming with flaming rage and hatred for her.
Tong Li ignored him and, accompanied by her lawyer, looked at the judge and jury with grief and seriousness.
"Order in the court!" The judge, a middle-aged uncle with a daughter of his own, detested morally bankrupt degenerates like Ling Batian.
Ling Batian was wealthy and had hired an expensive lawyer, but the evidence in today’s case was irrefutable, rendering even the best lawyer useless.
In the end, according to Article 237 of the Criminal Law (on the crimes of forced indecency, insulting women, and abusing children), Ling Batian was sentenced to five years in prison, not eligible for bail due to the severity of his actions.
After Ling Batian was imprisoned, the people most distressed were his women, Zhao Xiaoman along with Song Yu, and Lin Ying were okay; one was initially attracted by Ling Batian’s wealth, and now that Ling Batian was in prison, photos of him with them had leaked online, with Zhao Xiaoman quickly dissociating herself to avoid scandal.
Then there was Song Yu, who initially only approached Ling Batian because he was handsome and rich, and because he was originally Liu Zhilan’s boyfriend, her involvement was due solely to jealousy, with hardly any real feelings involved.
Lin Ying was even more straightforward. Apart from Tong Li, she had the least interaction with Ling Batian among all his women, and she mostly harbored ulterior motives for using him. With many senior employees in her company now leaning towards her brother, she was too busy with her career to bother about Ling Batian’s fate.
The ones left were Liu Zhilan and Chen Qing, the women who truly cared deeply for Ling Batian, they were gravely affected by his misfortune.
Liu Zhilan was his most devoted lover; she was Ling Batian’s first woman, and he was her only man. Even when she found out that Ling Batian was involved with other women, she did not leave him despite her heartbreak, because she loved him too much.
