Too Bad I Take Things Seriously

Seven days have passed.

They had to go to the court every day to check the trial schedule for the case.

But each time they went full of anticipation.

Only to return disappointed.

The process of trying this case...

Seems to exceed all their previous cases, never able to find a clue.

"Ahem, Captain Shen called and said... it’s almost time."

Qin Mu coughed lightly and responded.

Just yesterday.

Shen Dao did indeed call him, saying that another group of people had been implicated during the trial.

He told him to wait patiently.

Not to mention Zhang Qingyuan.

Right now, even he himself can’t figure out how many defendants are involved in this case.

Vaguely.

He is also filled with anticipation and curiosity about this case.

"Last time I asked you, you said the same thing."

Li Weiguo rolled his eyes, his face almost saying "I don’t believe it."

"That’s right, cases in Jin City are becoming fewer, it’s rare to have a big case, but it’s just so hard to wait."

"Xiao Qin, why don’t you go and urge Shen Dao again, have him speed up the trial process."

"Even though good things take time and a good case isn’t afraid of delay, there should be a definite time."

"I have a feeling this case will bring us a surprise."

"..."

Everyone was talking over each other, some were getting impatient from waiting.

Qin Mu managed to soothe them with his words.

He calmed them down and had them continue to wait patiently.

...

Meanwhile.

In Jin City.

In a designated hospital.

In the ward.

Shen Dao was leading several police officers, interrogating Tang Suiming lying on the hospital bed.

Tang Suiming was leaning on the bed.

He continued to exhaust his mind, searching for information on all the "criminals" he knew.

He laid it all bare, directly selling them out.

Without the slightest hesitation.

"This is the last one."

Finally.

After seven days of continuous interrogation, Tang Suiming had sold out all the criminals he remembered.

In fact.

After surrendering himself.

He, along with some core members of the company, was brought back to Jin City.

Because he had physical injuries and needed hospitalization, he wasn’t held in custody.

Instead, he was arranged to stay in a designated hospital.

Every day Shen Dao would bring people to interrogate him specifically, and he would very cooperatively confess everything he knew.

But...

Shen Dao and others had a limited speed in recording, plus having to verify, thus it was only now that he finished confessing.

"Officer Shen, I’ve confessed to so many people... can I get a three-year sentence reduction?"

Then.

Tang Suiming nervously looked at Shen Dao, asking the question he cared about the most.

Upon hearing this.

Shen Dao couldn’t help but glance at the thick transcript in the hand of a nearby officer, his mouth twitched.

In over seven days.

Tang Suiming revealed information on a total of two hundred and thirty criminals.

Some of them were bosses of gray industry companies.

Some were hacker gangs.

Some were partners in downstream illegal industrial chains.

And some were...

In short.

He sold out both those he had worked with and those he hadn’t "had dealings" with.

And provided evidence of their illegal activities.

With this layer of evidence...

It would be a great help to their police investigation.

Tang Suiming’s actions...

Could definitely be considered a significant contribution, helping them sweep away illegal activities in this industry.

Currently.

All available personnel from their police station have been dispatched.

Going around the country to capture persons involved in the case.

There has been a serious shortage of manpower.

Regarding sentence reduction.

Tang Suiming could certainly receive the highest remedial sentencing reduction.

However...

By confessing to so many people, Tang Suiming’s crime types also kept increasing.

Many of them were multiple charges that couldn’t be absorbed by each other.

Therefore.

Tang Suiming’s total sentence might be a rather shocking figure.

Even if he could get a three-year reduction, it would only be a drop in the bucket.

Evidently.

Tang Suiming was still oblivious to this issue.

...

Time flies by.

Half a month later.

Jin City.

Nursing home.

After the excitement, the elderly started to calm down.

Except for Zhang Qingyuan who occasionally chased Qin Mu to inquire about the case progress, the other elderly almost forgot about the case.

Until...

A phone call broke the long-standing silence.

"The case has been submitted for prosecution, the trial will be held in seven days, you as the informant and witness, do not be absent."

On the call.

Shen Dao advised Qin Mu briefly, then hurriedly hung up.

"Finally... it’s going to trial."

Qin Mu took a deep breath, feeling quite delighted.

Including the previous time.

This case has been tried for a full month!

In this world.

This pace is definitely considered slow!

You should know.

The case of suing the entire network took only half a month to try.

It shows the complexity of the people involved in this case.

Thinking of this.

He logged onto the trial live streaming network and checked the trial preview.

Sure enough.

In the trial seven days later, found the trial preview.

It shows that the Jin City prosecution agency accuses Tang Suiming, Liao Xiangming, and others of a total of 287 people of more than a dozen criminal activities, and the trial will commence in seven days.

"The people... are really many."

Qin Mu was also startled by this astonishing number.

Although the number of people in the case of suing the entire network was exaggerated, they all committed the same crime.

But this case...

The trials are all actual crimes, definitely considered a sensational case nationwide.

"Seven days later? Hoping for stars and moons, finally hoped for it!"

"Nearly three hundred defendants!! There’s no way for the observer seats, they’ll definitely prioritize arranging for their relatives!"

"My intuition was indeed correct, this case is definitely exciting!"

"Xiao Qin said before, didn’t Captain Shen recently try people who were reported by Tang Suiming? Aren’t all these people confessed by Tang Suiming?"

"Attacking a forum shouldn’t involve more than 280 people, right?"

"..."

The elderly in the courtyard heard the news.

All became incredibly excited.

Unusually enthusiastic.

Eagerly wishing for the seven days to pass quickly, greatly anticipating this trial.

Seeing the looks of these elderly people, Qin Mu shook his head helplessly.

Afterward.

He sent the news via WeChat to Ma Ming.

Ma Ming was similarly very excited, promptly pinning the news at the top of the forum.

The forum’s users...

Suddenly became ablaze.

"It’s been a month, I’ve almost forgotten about this case, didn’t expect such a big surprise the moment I log onto the forum today!"

"Nearly three hundred defendants for attacking a forum? I can only say up is just absurdly ridiculous, to the point of his mom opening the door for absurdity, utterly absurd!"

"Could some big shot post the trial live stream link, I want to watch in seven days!"

"There’s a link upstairs, save it quickly, I want to see what kind of courage these people ate to dare provoke our forum!"

"Of all forums to attack, why ours that studies law? Isn’t this like the birthday star hanging himself, looking for trouble?"

"..."

Upon hearing this news.

The forum users suddenly felt a sense of triumph.

Once upon a time.

Their forum was attacked by hackers, feeling extremely aggrieved.

Now, it’s finally their turn.

Leading under up, achieving a great victory!

...

Seven days later.

In the nursing home.

Early in the morning.

The elderly urged the staff to quickly set up the screen.

Everyone carried a stool and waited in the courtyard.

As for Qin Mu...

He learned from past experiences, leaving early to go to the court.

Mainly worried...

Too many defendants this time, the outside of the court might be crowded again.

Fortunately...

The court also seemed to have learned from experience.

Arranged for traffic police to guide early, avoiding the previous situation of crowds and traffic congestion.

You should know.

With three hundred defendants, just their relatives could exceed a thousand people.

Definitely considered a grand scene.

At nine-thirty in the morning.

Qin Mu successfully arrived at the Second Criminal Court, unsurprisingly, met his old acquaintance Zhang Wei.

"Mr. Qin."

When Zhang Wei saw him, he greeted him proactively.

His expression quite complicated.

This time.

The sudden appearance of three hundred defendants in Jin City truly busied their law firm.

After some effort.

Their law firm successfully contracted the litigation rights for these defendants’ representation.

Successfully secured this multimillion business deal.

"Long time no see."

Qin Mu was surprised to look at Zhang Wei, nodding.

For some reason.

He felt Zhang Wei’s gaze at him was a bit odd.

As if...

Looking at a parent reborn, not sure if it was his own misperception.

At ten in the morning.

Two public prosecutors entered in succession, under the escort of bailiffs, Tang Suiming, Liao Xiangming, and other principal offenders were also brought to the defendant’s seat.

Qin Mu couldn’t help but look over.

It was also his...

First time seeing the true appearance of his "opponents."

To his surprise.

Tang Suiming was still wrapped in some bandages, despite recuperating for a month, his body hadn’t fully recovered.

As for Liao Xiangming...

It was even more miserable.

Both legs were gone, seated in a wheelchair the entire time.

Looking very pitiful.
