Rebirth in Showbiz: How to Win the Showbiz Emperor's Heart?
Chapter 560: Officer, You’ve Broken the Law
Tong Yan didn’t go anywhere; she was already sitting calmly at the plaintiff’s position.
Plaintiff: Tong Yan, Plaintiff’s Lawyer: Gu Feng?
Looking at the stern-faced and tall Gu Feng, the reporters in the audience were dumbfounded.
If I remember correctly, this man is Tong Yan’s manager, right?
Could it be that Tong Yan has completely given up? With the evidence so clear, even a famous lawyer might not win this case, let alone a manager.
Or does he have another identity, as a lawyer?
#Amazing Tong Xiaopang, Amazing Manager#
With a word from the judge, the court session began.
Tong Yan winked at Gu Feng and raised her small fist, whispering, "Brother Feng, you got this!"
Got this, my butt!
Gu Feng almost swore; dealing with this girl’s scandalous rumors was already exhausting, and now he had to act as a lawyer, juggling multiple roles, might as well fly to the sky.
He didn’t want to do it anymore.
Why was he the plaintiff’s lawyer? His artist put it this way, "Brother Feng, we’re going to lose anyway, so let’s not waste money on hiring a lawyer."
Heh heh heh.
Knowing the lawsuit is a lost cause but still making a big fuss about suing this and that, what’s the deal!
Isn’t this putting me in a bind! Doesn’t she think I have enough trouble!
Gu Feng took several deep breaths, reminding himself that murder is illegal, just barely stopping himself from strangling her.
Judge: "Now the plaintiff’s lawyer will speak."
Gu Feng walked to the center of the courtroom, his face stern, "My client, one, accuses ’Flowertown’ and ’Entertainment Affairs’ media of fabricating stories, causing severe reputational damage to my client. Two, accuses the police station of spreading rumors, falsely accusing my client. Three, accuses Fengyun Studio of not handling the situation in a timely manner during my client’s incident, allowing things to escalate..."
After finishing his statements, Gu Feng bowed to everyone and returned to the plaintiff’s seat.
The judge nodded, tapped the gavel, and looked at the defendants, "Do you have anything to say?"
The policeman felt wronged, being in court as a defendant for the first time at his age, raised his hand for permission, and then said, "As a policeman, I was merely entrusted to find out the truth and did not spread rumors."
Tong Yan stood up, smiling, "Officer, I have a question for you."
Policeman: "Please ask."
"How did you inform Manager Li, can you repeat it?"
This was not difficult, just part of his job, and the policeman repeated what he had said before.
Tong Yan’s eyes flashed, raising her eyebrows, "Officer, your words have loopholes and are misleading. According to national laws, large-scale misleading statements and actions constitute a crime; clearly, in my case, the scale is quite large. Officer, you’ve committed a crime, you know." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
The policeman was dumbfounded; how did he suddenly become a criminal out of nowhere?
"What, we’re just informing, where’s the misleading bit."
Tong Yan looked toward the audience, her eyes sparkling and a proper smile on her face, "I’d like to ask everyone, after listening to the officer’s words, wouldn’t you think that I did this?"
Everyone nodded in unison.
Tong Yan nodded with satisfaction, turned to the still baffled policeman, and said, "See, everyone heard your statement and assumed I did it, but I didn’t. That right there is misleading.
Policeman: ...
Damn it, he was left speechless!
Clearly feeling that what she said was wrong, clearly taking advantage, yet unable to refute, who can understand this frustration!
For the first time, the policeman experienced the feeling of being left utterly speechless, with tears almost falling.
