Chapter 261 Zuo Dun appears and the defense begins
It's not dark yet.
The lobby on the first floor of Chuangshi Hotel was already filled with a dark crowd.
Gong Yuxia took her daughter, a reporter and two lawyers, showed the five invitations sent to her by Zuo Dun, entered the venue, and found five empty seats to sit down.
The reporter and the two lawyers contacted her proactively. After learning that her daughter was the client and the victim, they enthusiastically expressed their unconditional support for her.
She knew in her heart that these three people were probably sent by An Zhengming and the competitors of "Border Operation" to contact her, hoping to use her to force An Zhengming to withdraw from the show and make "Border Operation" fail at the box office.
She enjoyed taking advantage of each other.
As for Zuo Dun's so-called witnesses and evidence, she didn't pay attention at all.
If An Zhengming really had witnesses and evidence, he would have turned over long ago. Why is it still delayed until now?
What Zuo Dun did was just a bluff, trying to create an illusion that "Ahn Ching-ming has no bad deeds" so that "Operation Borderline" can survive this crisis and avoid box office damage.
In her opinion, her daughter must be on her side, and it is absolutely impossible for Zhao Cheng and the other four to dig their own graves, so she is still invincible.
When Zuo Dun appeared, she said in her daughter's ear: "Every woman has to go through the tribulation of being a man."
"As long as you survive An Zhengming's test, you can cultivate Taoism and become an immortal, and you will never be held back by men again."
Lu Xiaoxiao was wearing a big mask and big glasses, with a blank expression on his face and said nothing.
Seeing that she was silent, Gong Yuxia said calmly: "If you insist on going against mom, mom won't be able to control you."
"When you go out, turn right and you'll see the Moli River 1000 meters away. I'll just jump in."
"You can dance with me if you want. Anyway, there is nothing in this world worthy of my nostalgia."
Lu Xiaoxiao still didn't speak.
But Gong Yuxia knew that she would definitely compromise, and believed that sooner or later she would recognize herself and thank herself.
On the stage.
In the spotlight.
Wearing a baggy black T-shirt, old jeans and slippers, Zuo Dun walked up to the podium with a carefree pace, holding a box in his hand, and said into the microphone: "Everyone's time is precious, and I don't want to waste it. Everyone’s time, so I won’t say any niceties and get straight to the point.”
He doesn't dress like a barrister, but everyone likes his style of doing things.
Zuo Dun clicked a few times on his laptop.
Screenshots and videos of comments from various netizens appeared on the large electronic screen behind him.
Zuo Dun said: "Without any evidence, some netizens falsely accused Mr. An Zhengming of being a school bully when he was in high school. He was good at smoking, drinking, fighting, picking up girls, etc."
"Now, let me show you what kind of person Mr. An Zhengming was when he was in high school."
A set of photos appeared on the large electronic screen, slowly scrolling.
"These are Mr. An Zhengming's high school final examination papers, college entrance examination results, college entrance examination results, and his ranking in the class and grade."
Everyone watched and whispered.
An Zhengming's grades were quite good, mostly A's, with occasional B's, and his college entrance examination scores were only a few points behind the first line.
"People in Nancheng know that the teaching level of No. 27 Middle School is very average. Mr. An Zhengming must have worked very hard to achieve good results in No. 27 Middle School."
"If anyone thinks that he can get good grades by fighting, brawling, drinking, and falling in love all the time, I have nothing to say."
Everyone nodded.
The electronic screen flashed, and another set of photos appeared.
"These are the certificates Mr. An Zhengming received when he was in high school, including those he received in Nancheng No. 27 Middle School and Xiushan No. [-] Middle School."
“This is the Three Good Student Award, this is the Outstanding Graduate Award, this is the Mathematics Competition Award, this is the Physics Competition Award, this is the first prize in the city’s youth marathon, and there are also the rankings in various school sports meets, etc. "
"This is a composition written by Mr. An Zhengming when he was in high school. It is full of love for the country, his family, nature, and cats and dogs."
"Everyone here is a scholar and a smart person. I just want to ask, can such a person write such a text if he has bad conduct?"
Everyone nodded again.
If nothing else, An Zhengming's handwriting is masculine, powerful, straight and neat, which makes people think that his character is rigorous and serious.
An Zhengming, who was standing behind the curtain, wore a mask and looked at his mother sitting in the front row with soft eyes, full of respect and love in his eyes.
These examination papers, essays, certificates, including textbooks from his school days, etc., were all kept by his mother in boxes and are still there today.
Mother treats other children the same way.
Mom said: "This is the record and trajectory of your growth. Mom should watch it slowly when she gets old. It's like life coming back. Mom can watch you grow up again."
With a mother like this, what else can a husband ask for?
Someone in the audience asked: "These things do not prove that An Zhengming has not stabbed anyone."
Zuo Dun said slowly: "You're right, these materials are just an appetizer, the main meal is yet to come."
After that, he looked directly at Gong Yuxia and Lu Xiaoxiao in the audience, and his eyes became sharp: "There were a total of six parties involved in that case."
"Everyone, please look at the big screen. The six parties involved are Lu Xiaoxiao, An Zhengming, Zhao Cheng, Li Bao, Lao Xing, and Wang Bingxing. The photos were taken when they were in high school."
Except for the photos of Lu Xiaoxiao, An Zhengming, and Zhao Cheng, which are clear enough, the photos of the other three are a little yellowed and old, and only the general appearance can be seen.
When Lu Xiaoxiao's photo appeared, the audience at the scene and in front of their mobile phones and computers all exclaimed.
"Oh my god, I am a fan of Lu Xiaoxiao, but Lu Xiaoxiao is actually a party to this case? What a surprise!"
"She is the new host of "Sisters Overcoming Troubles", right? She is involved in such a big thing, I wonder if it will affect the show..."
"The paparazzi failed in their duties! The media failed in their duties! The matter was such a big fuss, but no one found out that she was the central figure in this case..."
Lu Xiaoxiao, who was talked about by everyone, remained silent, as if everything had nothing to do with her.
Gong Yuxia also remained calm.
Nothing Zuo Dun said could change the case back then.
However, just as she thought this, she heard Zuo Dun say: "I have found the other two parties involved, Li Shang and Lao Xing, and asked them to come out and explain the truth."
"What?" Gong Yuxia exclaimed and almost jumped up.
Li Shandong and Laoxing appeared here. Could it be that they wanted to blow themselves up?
Could it be that they were really bribed by An Zhengming?
In her uneasy gaze, two young men walked up to the front desk with their heads lowered, standing on the left side of the shield, their eyes evasive, not daring to face the camera.
Zuo Dun introduced them one by one: "This is Li Bao. His nickname back then was Xiao Li Taibao."
"This is Lao Xing, who was nicknamed sick man back then."
"Li Bao, tell me first. Who was pestering Lu Xiaoxiao in the case back then? And who stabbed him first?"
Li Bao, who had an unseemly mustache and half-long hair, drooped his head and said: "I was young and ignorant at the time. I thought it was cool to form gangs and act as a little bully, so I became a foursome with Zhao Cheng and the other three. Great Heavenly King, Zhao Cheng is our leader.”
"I don't know if An Zhengming pestered Lu Xiaoxiao, but Zhao Cheng fell in love with Lu Xiaoxiao and often flirted with her."
"At that time, Lu Xiaoxiao was sleeping out. He often waited at the school gate after evening self-study and invited Lu Xiaoxiao to play."
"Lu Xiaoxiao didn't like him and was afraid of him, so she asked An Zhengming to send her home. As a result, An Zhengming often clashed with Zhao Cheng. Zhao Cheng regarded An Zhengming as a thorn in his side..."
His statement was completely contrary to the newspaper report and what Gong Yuxia said, and it instantly aroused heated discussion among the melon-eating crowd.
Gong Yuxia stared at Li Bao with fire in her eyes.
What does this scoundrel want to do after publicly overturning his own testimony and siding with An Zhengming?
His family spent 35 yuan to bribe her back then. What good would it do to him if this kind of thing spread?
