Chapter 296: Finally sentenced!_1

When they heard that Ji Pianran was the family of a great hero, everyone became excited.

"Thank you so much, we are truly grateful. My daughter has been missing for half a year, it’s really thanks to you all."

The middle-aged man said this and was about to kneel before Ji Pianran.

His daughter was the apple of his eye.

If it weren’t for this family, he wouldn’t know when he’d find his daughter.

Ji Pianran had never seen this before, and hurriedly helped the man up, muttering over and over again.

"Big brother, there’s no need for this, no need."

What merits did she have? It was Gu Zhi who rescued the person, she hadn’t even gone there.

"Yes, thank you, we really can’t thank you enough." A young outsider also stood up and bowed to Ji Pianran.

"I was the one who was deceived. I just paid two thousand yuan the day before yesterday. If it weren’t for you all, I wouldn’t know for how long I would still be cheated."

More and more people started bowing to her, expressing their gratitude.

This made Ji Pianran increasingly anxious.

It was Gu Zhi who had saved the people, so why were they all thanking her?

In her panic, she somehow began bowing back to anyone who bowed to her.

While still insisting, "Really, there’s no need for this."

Gu Zhi was sitting on the stage with the lawyer at that moment, seeing everyone facing Ji Pianran’s flustered appearance, he couldn’t help but want to laugh.

How could his wife be so adorable?

When he saw Ji Pianran looking over at him, Gu Zhi smiled mischievously, raised his eyebrows, and even made a heart gesture with his hands.

Ji Pianran’s eyelids twitched.

Her face immediately flushed with embarrassment.

Oh no!

There were so many people sitting there, and he was actually making a heart gesture at her?

Besides, was this really the time for making heart gestures?

Didn’t he see that everyone was fervently expressing their gratitude?

She gave him an irritated glare and quickly turned her head, continuing to bow to the people beside her.

Sincerely saying, "Really, there’s no need for this, no need."

At this moment, the judge had already arrived, and several policemen escorted the fraudster Manager Huang up to the stand and placed him in the special seat for the accused right in the center.

Gu Zhi looked over at him and thought, this scoundrel must have suffered quite a bit inside.

He looked so different compared to when he was flirting with young girls—quite a far cry indeed.

In the spectator seats, his wife and children sat with eyes red and swollen from crying. Seeing him being led up, they immediately started crying loudly, and the children kept calling out "Daddy."

Hearing such sounds, Manager Huang’s expression suddenly changed.

Was he upset?

He probably was.

Gu Zhi didn’t know and didn’t want to know.

Fury seemed to burn in Manager Huang’s eyes as he glared hatefully at Gu Zhi.

It was this man who made him sit here, who ruined his dreams of making a fortune, who destroyed his family!

It was all his fault!

Along with the judge’s command for "silence,"

the previously noisy crowd below immediately quieted down, silent as a graveyard.

Everyone wore a serious, eager expression, waiting for the outcome.

The lawyers for both parties started their verbal sparring.

Listening to it all, Gu Zhi heard that it was all about compensation. After all, he was responsible for someone’s death, and even though he hadn’t killed personally, the nature of the crime was extremely vile.

In the end, of course, Gu Zhi won, securing the full three hundred thousand yuan in compensation.

Mr. Huang was sentenced to life imprisonment, with all his property confiscated.

Unexpectedly, this guy actually owned two properties in Huacheng, and his wife had another one under her name. Altogether, they had three properties.

Finally, with a strike of the judge’s gavel,

"Jin Gui is sentenced to life imprisonment, with all properties under his name confiscated, including one under the name of his wife, Yuan Lanlan, totaling three properties, which are all to be mortgaged to pay the three hundred thousand yuan to Gu Zhigang, as well as compensate all victims for their losses."

Hearing this, many people excitedly stood up.

Eyes bloodshot as they clapped desperately.

It seemed only this way could they express their hatred for the head of the pyramid scheme.

Not only could they recover their losses, but the swindler was also sentenced to life imprisonment, truly a satisfying outcome for everyone!

There was nothing more delightful than this.

From start to finish, a total of two hours.

In those two hours, Mr. Huang went from initial anger to grief and finally sank into despair.

He collapsed in his chair, hands clutching his head, weeping uncontrollably.

His child was only eight years old, and his mother back in the countryside was already sixty-nine.

Without him, it meant his child would be without a father, his mother without a son, his wife without a husband.

With no money and no home, how were they supposed to live in the future?

Thinking about himself, he had done so many bad things for money, but what was the result?

Not a single penny to his name, and he was sentenced to life in prison.

Life imprisonment.

An endless life imprisonment.

It’s over, all over.

He not only destroyed his own life but also shattered the lives of his wife and child.

How would his son continue school in the future?

At school, would his classmates look down on him?

Shun him, bully him?

Would his son hate him?

It is not until the very end that a person realizes their mistakes, and now he finally understood his.

But the mistake was too outrageous.

Turning back was now impossible.

...

After the trial ended, Gu Zhi happily exited the courtroom with the lawyer to meet up with Ji Pianran.

As soon as he stepped out, he was surrounded by a crowd.

Words of gratitude were endless.

Some even knelt on the ground.

Earlier, as Gu Zhi sat on the stage watching Ji Pianran being thanked by everyone, he simply found it amusing.

Now that it was his turn, it gave him a real headache.

To be honest, he wasn’t that noble; he was here to save his own brother.

Saving so many people was purely accidental.

Gu Zhi bent over, repeatedly helping those kneeling on the ground to stand up.

He kept saying, "There’s no need to be so polite, please get up."

But those people weren’t heeding.

Many had been defrauded of their children’s funds, and a child’s value to a family is self-evident.

A child is the hope of the whole family.

They felt that even kneeling wasn’t earnest enough.

"Please let us kneel, we truly are so grateful."

"Yes, you are like a second parent to my daughter now."

"Exactly, may a good person live a safe life, I will be grateful to you forever."

A series of thank-yous left Gu Zhi somewhat helpless.

Seized by a sudden inspiration, he hugged the lawyer beside him, "Don’t thank me, thank him. It’s all thanks to this lawyer. He won the lawsuit for us, he got us justice!"

After saying that, he grabbed Tangtang who was still in Ji Pianran’s arms and sprinted out.

He really couldn’t take any more of this gratitude.

Once outside the courthouse, Ji Pianran couldn’t move a step further; not only was she holding a child, but she also had a video camera. What if it got broken?

She had secretly recorded everything, wanting to document this event. When Tangtang was a bit older, she would show her and let her know that her father was a hero.
