Chapter 1246: Chapter 1245: The Witness

Today Jin Zihan was wearing a black suit, making his figure look tall and straight. His hair was all slicked back, revealing his delicate, handsome face.

He’s totally got the potential to be a celebrity, looking this handsome.” Zhao Shuai clicked his tongue.

The Jin Zihan of today felt completely different from yesterday. If yesterday his eyebrows and eyes still carried pure youthfulness, then today he gave off a completely sharp vibe, with a steadiness and maturity that didn’t match his age.

Jin Zihan acted as if he hadn’t seen his senior brother and sister at the plaintiff’s bench at all, and walked straight to the witness stand.

Please present the witness testimony.” The judge said.

I am a disciple of the Wula Sect.” As soon as Jin Zihan finished this sentence, the courtroom burst into murmurs, ”But I’ve been fed up with my senior brother and sister for a long time. That day I went with them to the material market. Senior brother took a fancy to a latex plastic item, but it had already been bought by the defendant, so my senior brothers started threatening the shop owner. But the defendant refused to sell this item, so my senior brother flew into a rage out of humiliation, publicly insulted them, and then even started beating people. Later the defendant, in order to protect himself, fought back. But the video from back then only had the later part, which covered up all the crimes of my senior brother and sister. However, my little sister was singing there at the time and recorded the entire process.” After he finished speaking, Jin Zihan handed the evidence in his hand to the judge.

...

When the judge played this complete video, the audience finally boiled over, all scrambling to discuss the evil deeds of the Wula Sect disciples.

The people at the plaintiff’s bench were all completely stunned at this moment. ”Jin Zihan, you traitor, usually acting all timid and cowardly, turns out you were just playing dumb to eat the tiger. What good does this do you? You ungrateful bastard.” That girl went crazy, hurling abuse at Jin Zihan nonstop.

Enough! I now announce, the defendant is not guilty. The plaintiffs are to be detained first and sentenced later.” The judge said.

The bailiffs came up at this moment and escorted the plaintiffs away. When those guys walked past Jin Zihan, they all glared viciously at him, and the last one even muttered something into Jin Zihan’s ear.

But from beginning to end, Jin Zihan just stood there calmly, his expression not showing the slightest fluctuation. Only now did Jiang Cheng feel that this Jin Zihan was definitely not an ordinary person; he must have his own reasons for doing this.

Jiang Cheng walked over to Jin Zihan’s side. ”Thank you.

No big deal.” Jin Zihan smiled, once again looking like that shy young boy.

Are you sure you’ll be okay going back like this?” Jiang Cheng was a bit worried; after what Jin Zihan had done, the Wula Sect probably wouldn’t tolerate him anymore. ”It’s fine, don’t worry.” Jin Zihan said with a smile. ”I’ll head off first.” With that, he turned and left. Watching the retreating figure of this boy, Jiang Cheng really couldn’t figure out why he had done all this.

This matter is finally perfectly resolved.” Qi Rongfeng let out a sigh and walked over to Xiaoyu. ”I really have to thank you this time, you were amazing.”

It’s nothing, it’s what I should do, right?” Xiaoyu said with a smile.

Yeah, Xiaoyu, you’re the one we should thank most this time. Especially the way you were just now, you were so domineering.” Cloud said to Xiaoyu with a face full of admiration.

Haha.” Xiaoyu was so flustered by the praise that her face turned a little red, and she scratched her head awkwardly.

Then let’s go have a big meal together, consider it our way of thanking Xiaoyu.” Zhao Shuai said.

Sure, let’s go.” Everyone agreed. Zhao Shuai quickly found a decent restaurant nearby. ”Jiang, did you see? Someone’s filming us.” As soon as Zhao Shuai walked into the restaurant, he noticed a few people holding up their phones recording.

If they want to film, just let them.” Jiang Cheng said, looking completely unconcerned.

Yeah, it’s not like we’re celebrities, we don’t have any privacy that needs hiding.” Qi Rongfeng also said calmly.

The group sat openly at the reserved table. With Zhao Shuai there, of course he ordered a ton of food.

The atmosphere at the table was really relaxed at this moment, easing the fatigue and anxiety of the past few days.

Huh? There’s a piece of news about someone’s phone exploding while they were using it, and they themselves got blown up?” Cloud said while watching the news.

Really? What happened?” Xiaoyu asked.

They’re saying the chips in Qiting Company’s components have problems.” Cloud said.

Qiting?” Jiang Cheng found the name very familiar; that was Zhang Tian’s company.

No way, isn’t that Zhang Tian’s company?” Xiaoyu exclaimed. ”How is that possible? Qiting is an old company with many years behind it, and their product reputation and everything has always been great.”

Right now public opinion online is really intense. Everyone’s saying Qiting Company’s products have issues, and lots of consumers say they’re going to return their phones.” Zhao Shuai said while looking at the news on his phone.

It’s that serious? Things haven’t even been confirmed yet, have they?” Jiang Cheng said.

These days, phones are an indispensable part of people’s lives. Once something like this happens, lots of people will definitely lose their rationality.” Cloud said, frowning.

Yeah, look, there are tons of people online cursing Zhang Tian. Pfft, even though I don’t like that guy, at least he did help us, right.” Zhao Shuai looked at all the people online cursing Zhang Tian, the overwhelming malicious and abusive comments making him feel he couldn’t bear to look.

Wow, there’s even a video of you in here, Jiang.” Zhao Shuai said.

What?” Jiang Cheng was a bit puzzled. He took the phone Zhao Shuai handed over and saw that the video was of the time Zhang Tian took him to the market,

and also the scenes of him going to Zhang Tian’s home.

Yeah, these keyboard warriors are really insane. The case has already been clarified, it was the Wula Sect disciples’ fault, but they’re still saying Zhang Tian covered for you guys and that it’s also an insult to the Wula Sect.” Xiaoyu felt utterly speechless reading these comments.

We can’t control what other people say.” Jiang Cheng handed the phone back to Zhang Tian, not wanting to bother with those people.

I’m going to Qiting Company first. You all head back.” After saying that, Jiang Cheng thought for a moment. ”Right now, Zhang Tian’s home is probably already surrounded by reporters.”

Come to my place first.” Xiaoyu said.

Mm, thanks again. I’m heading out first.

Hey, Jiang, we’ll go with you.” Qi Feng said.

Yeah, Jiang, I’m going too.” Zhao Shuai said.

At a time like this, the more people go, the more troublesome it is.” Jiang Cheng said. After hearing this, Zhao Shuai and Qi Rongfeng also realized that in a situation like this, it was enough for Jiang Cheng to go alone. Too many people would really just add to the mess.

Jiang Cheng quickly went out, got in a car, and headed to Zhang Tian’s company. On the way, Jiang Cheng thought about a lot. He knew this matter couldn’t be true; it was very likely someone was deliberately setting up Zhang Tian, and this was very likely related to himself.

Jiang Cheng felt a bit guilty now. If Zhang Tian really got dragged into this because of him, Jiang Cheng sighed, thinking he hadn’t considered things thoroughly enough. If he hadn’t impulsively gone to Zhang Tian’s house, these ”adding fuel to the fire” things wouldn’t have had the chance to come out.

After a short while, they arrived at Qiting Company. Jiang Cheng saw that there were a lot of reporters gathered there, practically packed so tight there was no room to move.

After getting out of the car, Jiang Cheng walked straight toward the company entrance. Squeezing his way through the crowd of reporters, by the time he made it halfway, he was already drenched in sweat.
