Too Bad I Take Things Seriously

If nothing unexpected happens.

These two people should have been influenced by the misfortune value, which led to this situation.

"It’s not in vain that I used up 1000 points of misfortune value..."

Qin Mu silently recited in his heart.

He was quite satisfied with this result.

At this moment.

Zhou Quanmin entered the courtroom with all the judges and jurors and took their respective seats.

The clerk immediately stepped forward.

Notified the relevant personnel to count the number of people and confirm that everyone had arrived on the scene.

"Dong—"

Zhou Quanmin knocked the gavel, scanning the people in the courtroom.

His gaze swept over everyone.

Finally paused for half a second on Qin Mu at the witness stand, his expression a bit strange.

This case...

The number of defendants is as many as 287.

The criminal incidents involved are intertwined, revealing several large-scale criminal networks.

Due to Tang Suiming’s involvement...

The public security organs were able to successfully bring everyone to justice, arresting and closing the case.

But this also means...

Their workload has doubled.

"Today, the court officially opens the trial of Tang Suiming, Liao Xiangming, and others suspected of illegal business operations, intentional damage to computer information, and other crimes. The trial is conducted openly in accordance with the law and announced to the whole society, with me serving as the Judgment Chief..."

After a simple routine reading.

The clerk stepped forward again to announce the courtroom discipline.

Five minutes later.

Straightforwardly and decisively, they entered the stage for the public prosecutor’s indictment.

One of the public prosecutors stood up and said in a deep voice: "Tang Suiming, Liao Xiangming, and others hacked into the Study Law Alliance Forum last month, causing the forum to be paralyzed and unable to function properly..."

"This caused great loss to the forum’s users, infringing on the network freedom rights of millions of users. Yet they showed no improvement, escalating the situation by twice hiring hacker teams..."

"Since receiving the report, the public security organs have attached high importance, carried out in-depth investigations, and finally verified that, besides this case, Tang Suiming’s group is also involved in bribery of non-state staff, extortion, infringement of trade secrets, and other crimes..."

"Our court believes that Tang Suiming’s actions constitute illegal business operations, extortion, intentional damage to computer information systems... with cumulative sentences exceeding thirty-five years. We request the court to sentence him to twenty-five years in prison."

"Liao Xiangming..."

In the courtroom.

The public prosecutor impassionedly revealed all the crimes of Tang Suiming.

And requested the court to severely punish his actions.

After accusing Tang Suiming.

They immediately continued to accuse Liao Xiangming, who was sitting in a wheelchair: "As a citizen of our country, Liao Xiangming infiltrated abroad to engage in illegal criminal activities, attacking domestic forum servers."

"After verification, over the years, he has led his team in multiple illegal acts of infringing computer information networks, committing countless crimes..."

"Our court believes that his actions constitute illegal business operations, intentional damage to computer information systems, with severe circumstances. We request the court to sentence him to nine years in prison, Zhou Xiaoqi in his team to six years in prison, Liu Tiantian in accordance with the law..."

In the defendant’s seat.

Liao Xiangming, seated in a wheelchair, looked utterly despairing.

After enduring prolonged torment...

His will to survive had been completely extinguished.

Especially after communicating with Zhang Wei, he realized whom he had offended.

Wanting to get away with it...

Seemed almost wishful thinking.

"Moreover, Tang Suiming actively confessed in this case, revealing many criminals, including Wu Guangquan, the chairman of xxx Cultural Communication Co., Ltd., who had ..."

In the courtroom.

The public prosecutor glanced at the thick stack of indictments and continued to accuse expressionlessly.

This stack of indictments...

Includes the criminal information of a total of two hundred and seventy-eight defendants, along with sentencing recommendations for the court.

Because the case is complicated.

It can’t be listed separately for trial, so it needs to be jointly tried in this session.

Much of Tang Suiming’s criminal activities were supported by other "accomplices."

In the criminal behavior of others...

Tang Suiming also played an immeasurable role!

...

Jin City.

In the nursing home.

Hundreds of seniors in the courtyard gathered, their eyes glued to the screen ahead.

On the screen.

Was streaming the trial live broadcast they had been waiting for over half a month.

The public prosecutor’s table featured that thick stack of indictments...

Instantly became the focal point of their attention.

"How long will it take to read that thick stack?"

"It’s tough for these staff members, but it also shows how many illegal things these criminals have done!"

"Twenty-five years! Tang Suiming was charged with a twenty-five-year sentence? Did they really break the record?"

"Hiss!! Doesn’t that mean his cumulative crimes exceeded thirty-five years?"

"It seems so, Xiao Qin said before that if it exceeds thirty-five years, only then will they sentence for twenty-five years!"

"..."

After hearing the public prosecutor’s charges against Tang Suiming.

Everyone widened their eyes, showing indescribable expressions.

If they remember correctly...

Among the people Xiao Qin sent in, the highest sentence was only twenty years!

Could it be...

This time they really can break the record?

"Now this is going to be interesting."

In a certain corner.

Wan Zhongyuan looked at the screen, revealing an expression of anticipation.

In domestic criminal cases,

those exceeding twenty years will attract the attention of the High Court, and even the Supreme Court.

If this case really gets a sentence of twenty-five years...

it will definitely alarm the Supreme Court and cause a nationwide sensation!

It might even become the case of the year.

You have to know,

the defendants in this trial are all burdened with crimes far beyond ordinary defamation cases.

...

At the same time.

Zizhou.

In a certain high-end residential area.

Qing Lan was also sitting in front of the computer, logging onto the trial livestream website.

She was paying attention to this trial.

"A stack of indictments..."

Watching the shocking scene on the screen, she couldn’t help but blink.

The sheer number of indictments was appalling.

This also indicated the crimes of this group of defendants...

were simply too numerous to record!

So much so that the prosecutor accused for a full hour, yet the crimes of nearly three hundred people were still not completely listed.

From the prosecutor’s accusation,

she heard one familiar charge after another, all of which Qin Mu had explained in his videos.

Even major charges like intentional injury, organizing, participating in, and leading a triad organization, and kidnapping were mentioned.

Of course,

occasionally there were obscure and unfamiliar charges that Qin Mu hadn’t even covered in his videos.

All sorts of charges.

She felt as if she were reading a criminal law book.

And without a doubt,

these people are the current "successful people" in society.

"Indeed, the methods of success are all written in the criminal law."

She couldn’t help but sigh.

There was a joke online saying that the ways to get rich quick are all in criminal law, and it turns out it wasn’t a lie.

The bold thrive, the timid starve.

But...

these people inexplicably crossed paths with Qin Mu and got drawn in.

"Huh? The forum exploded again?"

Taking advantage of the prosecutor’s accusations, she idly opened the forum.

She found...

a flood of posts appeared on the forum, seemingly all discussing this trial.

"This isn’t an indictment, this is clearly a book! I’ve never seen a scene like this before!"

"Small scene, it’s UP’s basic operation, everyone calm down, take a seat!"

"I watched the entire indictment case last time, that was a spectacular scene, UP almost missed the trial!"

"Twenty-five years! I study law and rarely see cases sentenced to twenty-five years!"

"Can someone explain how the cumulative exceeds thirty-five years, how is that calculated?"

"..."

As the trial proceeded,

netizens gathered on the forum to discuss the details of this trial.

Primarily because the trial livestream website doesn’t allow for comments or discussion.

Many netizens encountering legal questions posted on the forum, seeking answers.

For the time being,

the forum’s popularity, due to this case, not only didn’t decrease, it actually surged.

More so than before it crashed...

It increased significantly.

...

Jin City.

A district court.

Second Criminal Court.

Two hours later.

The prosecutor, with a dry mouth and throat, finished reading the last page of the indictment.

Having accused all the defendants,

he finally returned to his seat.

In the courtroom,

whether it was Tang Suiming and others in the defendant’s dock, the defendants waiting in the hearing room, or the defendants’ relatives in the audience, all showed an expression of relief.

Two hours...

was really too long.

"Dong—"

Zhou Quanmin knocked on the gavel, straightening up the court’s discipline.

He said seriously, "Due to the large number of defendants in this case and the complex entanglements, we will first prioritize the trial of the forum attack case."

This case...

was reported by Qin Mu, as the origin, it should be tried first.

Then the details can be unraveled.

To confirm the crimes of everyone one by one.
