Ning An's Wild Wish System

The presiding judge finally brought the gavel down, delivering a verdict acceptable to both parties based on their statements.

Everyone present at the trial had been to such hearings before, so they weren’t surprised by the defense lawyer’s demands.

But most viewers in the live stream were witnessing this kind of scene for the first time.

After hearing the plaintiff’s lawyer, they only felt the world was a bit crazy.

"What the hell! Just for stealing a battery from an electric bike, not even the whole bike itself, it’s not worth much, and you’re telling me it’s a three-year sentence?"

"Is the plaintiff’s lawyer sure about the charges? Isn’t this just a simple theft case? I’ve seen Zhang San’s videos; he said this kind of case, at most, just leads to a few days in jail and some fines."

"So for just stealing a battery, you’d do three years — what, do you do over ten years for a whole electric bike?"

"Damn! Can I sue my school too? I pay so much tuition every year, yet learned nothing. Isn’t this theft, like reaching into my pocket and taking my money?"

"Take a breath! Bro, wake up, seems like you’re sleeping too much in class. Sleep a bit less next time."

Despite the jokes, most viewers in the stream were shocked by the plaintiff lawyer’s demand.

After all...

No matter how you see it, three years for stealing a battery, it’s legal but feels off.

The presiding judge nodded at the plaintiff’s demands.

As a lawyer, you should look for your client’s best interests.

So how do you get the best?

Of course, you’d push the claim within the legal limits to the max!

As they say, if you want a window, first plan to take the roof off.

With the plaintiff lawyer’s request noted, the judge looked at Fei San.

"Defendant, tell us, why did you steal the battery?"

The defendant, Fei San, a middle-aged, frail, even emaciated man; his skin mostly hanging over bones, pitifully.

Hooked nose, sunken eyes, a strange gray tint on his face...

Gave the urge he should be in a mental ward.

At first inquiry, he seemed absent, lost in thought, dazed.

Until the judge raised his voice to ask again, did he snap back to reality.

Hearing the judge’s question, he didn’t answer right away but turned to his lawyer.

This was also something his lawyer repeatedly instructed him before coming.

"No matter who asks what, ask me first, don’t answer randomly!"

It was the only advice he remembered well.

So, immediately, Fei San turned and quietly asked:

"Lawyer Wang, how should I answer?"

Hearing Fei San’s question, Lawyer Wang wasn’t bothered, waving a hand: "Just tell the truth; I can handle this case."

He was pleased with Fei San’s response.

It meant Fei San listened to him.

In court, the last thing a lawyer wants is for a client to blurt things out and give the other side an edge.

Even when the opponent is at a disadvantage, a few wrong words can let them bounce back — seen often in legal history.

So having a client who trusts him felt great.

After all, it was just a battery theft case.

The amount was small, at worst a fine or short detention.

Despite the plaintiff lawyer’s show, it was just talk!

One theft case, three years in prison...

As this news spread, everyone there would be a laughingstock.

Seeing how confidently executed the proceedings, Fei San calmed.

So he steadied himself, looked at the judge, and loudly said:

"I stole the battery to sell for money."

Lawyer Wang nodded approvingly from the side.

Exactly!

Just say it like that.

It’s just a battery theft case, just be honest.

No big deal.

Even if the client cooperates well, he could waive the detention.

The live stream viewers found Fei San’s proud posture amusing.

"Well, you’d think he was the thief with that stance."

"Makes sense; he’s probably first time in court, a bit nervous but the crime isn’t severe, so no fear now."

"Right, a bit of detention and a fine, no big deal to him, might eat better inside than out, then come out short on cash, and steal more batteries..."

"Isn’t that genius? You cracked the perpetual motion principle."

"..."

The judge found Fei San’s behavior amusing, yet earnestly continued:

"So after selling the battery, what was the money for?"

Perhaps confidence made him blurt out:

"Isn’t money for hiring women?"

Woah!

The room and stream erupted.

Especially the live stream; stunned.

"Wait, what did he just say? Money was for what? Hiring women, what the hell?!"

"I thought he’d say it was for food, clothing, given his condition, all skin and bones."

"Hahaha, that addicted, get a doll online, cheaper than hiring women!"

"True, with luck, like Wish’s old man yesterday, money-free!"

"Knife to the butt, showed something new; steal batteries, hire women... Is this joke real?"

"So excessive! Didn’t he think this through? Just blurted it out!"

"Hilarious! Usually, people lie on trial, but this ’honest young man’, first time seeing this."

"Who to blame? Only his lawyer; one ’just speak the truth,’ and bro did just that; I’m dying laughing."

"Hahaha, was just detention and fine, now a bigger charge."

After shock, the stream viewers burst into laughter.

Flooding the chat with laughter-filled comments.

Meanwhile at the bench.

Upon hearing the defendant’s answer, the judge was stunned.

What did he just ask?

Seeing him all skin and bones, asking why he needed the money?

Normally they’d cry, play on emotion!

So he could rule easier, as a hungry thief selling for food, giving a moral buffer.

But now what?

Hire women?

Freely admitting the crime.

Whose watchman is this strong?!

Even the lawyers present were shocked.

With dozens of trials, never a defendant like Fei San... a knife to the butt revealing new tricks.

It’s their first time seeing this unbelievable level!

Fei San’s lawyer, speechless inside, looked at him.

"Dude, I said speak the truth, but you really just spoke the truth."
