Chapter 109
Haishi No.1 Civil Court.
Shi Zhou and Sheng Yanwen, who had completed the registration, ran into the Shi family couple who came at the same time at the door before entering the trial court.
After returning to China and suing Qin Yi, Shi Renqing and Lou Keqin stayed in Haishi temporarily, following up the progress of the case day after day, and finally made it to today's trial.
In less than two months, Shi Renqing lost a lot of weight again, and even Lou Keqin lost his former vigor.
The son who had been 'missing' for many years finally had the result, but the truth was far more cruel than they imagined. After nearly 20 years, the scars in his heart were once again severely uncovered. No parent will feel comfortable with this matter .
The eyes met, and the silence permeated invisible.
Shi Zhou wanted to talk, but he didn't know what to say to Keqin's gaze upstairs.
Sensing Shi Zhou's nervousness, Sheng Yanwen immediately squeezed his hand, and took the initiative to break the silence, "Dad, Mom, Shi Zhou and I have no announcement today, so come and take a look."
Shi Renqing nodded, with a trace of unfathomable hatred in his usually gentle eyes, "Your mother and I are waiting for this day, we, we will never be able to swallow this breath until we see Qin Yi and his gang brought to justice. "
Lou Keqin's eye sockets were sour again, he was holding the photo in his hand tightly and not letting go——
It was a group photo of their husband and wife and their son Shi Zhou, and the family of three in the photo smiled brightly.
Shi Zhou caught a glimpse of the corner of the group photo and silently squeezed Sheng Yanwen's hand.
Shi Renqing noticed this subtle change in Shi Zhou, and called him warmly, "Xiao Zhou, let's go in, the court is about to start."
"Ah."
The four of them stepped into the interrogation hall.
Lou Keqin wanted to strip Qin Yi and the others to pieces, and went straight to the first row. Shi Renqing took a look at the two children, fearing that his wife would be overly emotional later, so he went to accompany her.
Sheng Yanwen looked at Shi Zhou who was following him, and called back in a low voice, "Zhou Zhou, where do you want to sit?"
Generally speaking, such a trial will be videotaped throughout, and photographs will also be taken to store evidence, and the audience in the auditorium may be photographed incidentally.
After all, he is a public figure, and Sheng Ruowen is afraid that some netizens will find out and spread it on the Internet, and then find out Shi Zhou's real identity through clues, causing unnecessary trouble to them.
Shi Zhou looked around, and suddenly found a familiar figure in the corner of the first row on the left.
"...Is that Nanjia?"
"Ok?"
Sheng Yanwen followed Shi Zhou's gaze, "It seems to be him."
Shi Zhou and him looked at each other tacitly, and walked over.
Probably out of consideration for her identity, Nan Jia put on a hat and a mask on purpose, and sat in her seat without saying a word, not even noticing that someone was approaching.
Seeing this, Shizhou had no choice but to say, "Nanjia?"
"..."
Nan Jia raised her eyes belatedly, revealing those eyes full of bloodshot eyes.
He looked at Shi Zhou who suddenly appeared and Sheng Yanwen who was following behind him, and said hoarsely, "Shi Zhou, Teacher Sheng, are you here too?"
Shi Zhou took advantage of the situation and sat beside Nan Jia, talking to him in a low voice, "Well, when did you come? Why are you sitting here alone?"
Half of Nanjia's face was covered by a mask, but Shizhou could feel him smile bitterly, "Would you believe me if I came early in the morning?"
To put it more clearly, they drove here before dawn.
Nan Jia sat alone in the car, watching the sky change from gloomy and drowsy to dawn bit by bit, as if the darkness that had shrouded her heart for more than ten years also dissipated.
As the first person to enter the auditorium, Nan Jia directly chose this seemingly inconspicuous front row corner.
"As for why you're sitting here..." Nanjia glanced at her wristwatch and said firmly, "You'll know soon."
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the trial officially began.
After the concise and clear opening process, the closed door in front of the auditorium on the left was finally opened from the inside out.
In just a moment, Shizhou understood the reason why Nanjia was sitting in this position——
Qin Yi, Zhao Yanqing and others in handcuffs came out under the custody of the court police officers, and the distance between them and the front row was less than three meters.
In less than two months, both Qin Yi and Zhao Yanqing had lost their former splendor, their thin complexions turned slightly yellow, and their eyes were covered with obvious bruises.
The only difference is that Qin Yi still has a trace of arrogance that is not afraid of death, while Zhao Yanqing is haggard and drooping.
- Bang!
Nan Jia raised his hand and patted the railing, making a short noise, Qin Yi paused, and sharply looked towards the source of the sound.
The eyes of the two sides met in mid-air.
"..."
Qin Yi failed to recognize Nan Jia under the mask in time, but recognized Shi Zhou and Sheng Yanwen beside him.
Qin Yi's originally calm eyes suddenly darkened, and he clenched his back molars fiercely——
The reason why he has fallen to the present situation is all caused by Shizhou and the rumors!
Qin Yi was engulfed by the savagery and impulse in his heart, he just took a step outside, and was immediately stopped by the sharp policeman beside him, "Qin Yi! Pay attention to discipline! What are you dawdling about!"
Zhao Yanqing, who was following behind Qin Yi, heard this sound, and after raising his eyes tiredly, he also saw the most familiar Shi Zhou and Sheng Yanwen, but his performance was completely opposite——
His pupils trembled suddenly, as if he was avoiding something and quickly lowered his head.
Qin Yi was reprimanded twice by the police, and his unhappy complexion became more and more gloomy, but the shackles on his hands and feet were tinkling, as if every sound reminded him of the fact that he had become a prisoner.
The judge sitting in court realized what was happening and issued a warning in the most serious tone.
Qin Yi gritted until his teeth were bleeding, but he could only force himself to move forward.
Zhao Yanqing and the others who followed behind him were silent, but their expressions were all ugly.
Because of the complex interrelationships of the case, the trial lasted for a long time before the final answer was reached——
All the criminals who participated in the illegal organization of prostitution and other activities were sentenced to five to ten years. Among these people, some are still active behind the scenes in the entertainment industry, and some have retired and have families.
They cried and repented, or slapped themselves on the head angrily, but no one cared about their tears and shame, and the mistakes they committed were finally rewarded with belated retribution!
Li Da intentionally committed a car accident on the set of "Bone Mirror", and Zhao Yanqing, who paid for the murder, was dealt with as a joint crime and sentenced to life imprisonment.
The moment the verdict came out, Li Da's face was ashen, and Zhao Yanqing, who was used to wanton and good life, was even more useless on the spot and almost collapsed on the ground.
He wanted to shout loudly to repent, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't even utter a single word, and only belated regret was left in his mind——
If he knew there would be today, why would he provoke Shizhou again and again?This is abruptly ruining my whole life!
In the end, it was the turn of the core mastermind of all cases. Qin Yi had multiple crimes and was punished for several crimes. The first trial decided to impose the death penalty!
The word death penalty was uttered from the mouth of the judge, and it hit everyone's heart with unprecedented weight.
Shi Zhou and the others who were sitting in the auditorium were relieved at the same time. Nan Jia finally let out the anger and resentment that had accumulated in her heart for a long time. in the arms.
Qin Yi's heart, which has always been fierce and hard, seemed to have been smashed into an irreparable hole by these words. The word "death penalty" seemed to be poisoned, and it corroded the heart bit by bit along the crack.
Qin Yi's originally livid and gloomy face finally couldn't hold back anymore, and gradually turned pale. He stroked his forehead with shackled hands, only to realize that he was sweating unknowingly.
die?
How could he die in this way?
No, no!
Qin Yi protested loudly, but the gavel had already been knocked down, and the verdict of the first instance was confirmed.
When forced to leave the court by the police, Qin Yi met Shi Zhou, Nan Jia and the others again. This time, both of them took off the masks covering their faces.
Qin Yi looked at the eyebrows and eyes of the two, and for no reason remembered the scene on the cruise ship that year——
The girl named Nanyao knelt at his feet and cried, begging him to let him go, but she jumped into the sea after struggling. Another boy named Shi Zhou was also kicked down mercilessly by him.
Qin Yi watched as the waves engulfed the figures of the two people little by little, taking away two fresh lives. Now this wave blew again from the eyes of Shizhou and Nanjia, and finally swallowed him completely.
The result of the first trial has come out. Everyone knows that Qin Yi has committed a heinous crime. Even if he is dissatisfied with the verdict and appeals, it will be difficult to change the result. It's just that he will have a few more days to live.
But staying in prison all day, facing the eventual death, isn't this another kind of torture?
Qin Yi fell into a panic that he had never experienced before. It was a greater fear than his parents' divorce when he was a child. He finally realized——
All these years, what I have done, it turns out that this day will really send him to his death!
There was a sudden commotion in the auditorium, and Shi Zhou and the others looked away at the same time, and it was Sheng Yanwen who came out first.
"Looks like Zhao Longfeng?"
Shi Zhou then realized the name, "Qin Yi and Zhao Yanqing's father?"
"Ah."
The foundation that the Zhao family had built over the years was ruined. The out-of-court compensation made Zhao Longfeng almost lose his coffin. Now he heard that his two sons were tried and convicted one after another.
Zhao Longfeng lived most of his life, seeing that he was old, not only did he have no son to support him, but now he had to send a white-haired man to a black-haired man. Under this extreme grief and anger, he suddenly fell down with a heart attack.
Nan Jia's face was cold, and her tone of disgust was disgusting, "It's what you deserve! Having two sons is not a good guy, which shows how failed he is as a father!"
Shi Zhou and Sheng Yanwen looked at each other and didn't say much.
They had heard about Zhao Longfeng's "fraudulent marriage" and divorce back then, and it was not an exaggeration to call him a "scumbag" when he was young.
Thanks to the fermentation of public opinion on the Internet, the result of this trial was heavier and more decisive than expected, and it finally came to an end in a very happy way!
When Shi Zhou and others walked out of the court, the sun was just right, and spring was blowing on their faces. Everything was over, and everything was a new beginning.
Shi Zhou took a deep breath, and took the initiative to pat his friend on the shoulder, "Nanjia, learn to live for yourself, sister Nanyao definitely doesn't want you to be burdened with hatred all the time."
"……I know."
Nan Jia took out the close-fitting group photo, feeling a little indescribably empty in her heart.
From the day his sister disappeared, he has been living with the same goal, and he entered the entertainment circle to find out the truth and take revenge——
Now that the truth is revealed and the bad guys are punished, this is the best result, but he suddenly doesn't know what to do.
Sheng Yanwen saw Nanjia's hesitation, and asked instead of his lover, "What's your next plan? Can you still stay in this company?"
The high-level hands and feet of Nanjia's contracted company are not clean, and they were also involved in this incident. I heard that there has been a mess recently, and many artists are looking for ways to change jobs.
"I will probably terminate the contract." Nan Jia sighed, "I haven't found another job for a while, so I plan to suspend my career to take a breather, and make a decision after taking a rest for half a year."
Sheng Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Shengyu has plans to push closer to the music market recently. If you want, I welcome you on behalf of Shengyu group. The treatment will not be bad."
"As for the issue of contract termination, the legal department of Shengyu can come forward to solve it for you."
When Shi Zhou heard this, he looked at Sheng Yanwen in surprise.
When they first met Nanjia, their lovers were still eating sour and out-of-the-ordinary jealousy, but now they are throwing out invitations in the name of the company boss?
Sheng Yanwen met his gaze tacitly, and then waited for Nanjia's reply.
Nan Jia didn't expect Sheng Yanwen to offer an olive branch on such an occasion, but compared to other professional music companies, he would rather trust Shengyu Culture under the other party's hands.
"President Sheng, yes."
During the answer, even the address was changed.
Sheng Yanwen is not someone who beats around the bush, "Well, I'll let someone from the company contact you when the time comes, and you can ask for anything."
"If there are changes in the follow-up plan, you can also explain it directly, and no one will embarrass you."
Nanjia nodded.
As soon as the words fell, a heavy locomotive rushed to a stop in front of them, and the dust rolled up was almost charming.
The domineering helmet was taken off, revealing Sheng Yueze's overly eye-catching hair and that arrogant face.
"Brother, sister..."
Sheng Yueze looked at Shang Shengyan with warning eyes, and quickly changed his voice, "Brother Zhou."
Shi Zhou was used to his nonsense, "Yue Ze, why are you here?"
Sheng Yueze raised his jaw and raised his finger to Nanjia, "I came to collect debts, if I deny it, I just go to court and ask the judge to judge me."
Sheng Yanwen frowned slightly, and said as an elder brother, "Speak well."
"Didn't you ask me to help Nanjia find witnesses? He owes me a meal." Sheng Yueze looked at Nanjia, "Yes, Nan...friend."
"..."
Nanjia had no choice but to admit it, "Yes."
Sheng Yueze approached, and took advantage of his height to hook Nanjia's shoulders, "Go, go now, lest you go back on your word, and I will go abroad for training the day after tomorrow."
Nanjia wanted to shake off his hand, but because of his weak height and body shape, Sheng Yueze forcibly buckled the spare helmet on.
"Brother, Brother Zhou, let's go first!"
Sheng Yueze waved his hand, and did not invite Sheng Yanwen and Shizhou for Nanjia, "You guys will make another appointment at another time, and I will blackmail this meal first."
Nanjia's rebellious voice followed, "Don't be too big or too young, I'm older than you, and I'm driving."
Sheng Yueze ignored it, "Come with me first, I will be responsible for sending you back after eating, and the car will not be lost if it is left."
It wasn't until the two of them rode away on the heavy motorcycle that Shi Zhou was surprised, "Yue Ze and Nan Jia seem familiar?"
Sheng Yanwen complained in the tone of his own brother, "With his character, beggars on the roadside can become iron brothers."
Shi Zhou smiled, and the next second he heard a call from behind, it was Lou Keqin's voice.
"Xiaozhou."
"..."
Shi Zhou's smile froze slightly and dropped, his heart tightened.
I don't know when he started to have this instinctive reaction similar to self-protection when facing Lou Keqin.
"Dad, Mom." Shi Zhou turned around and looked at the person who came, unable to say anything.
Lou Keqin's eyes were still red, obviously she had been crying for a long time.Shi Renqing was standing beside her. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, he obviously didn't recover completely from his grief and indignation.
Lou Keqin regretted and blamed himself when he saw Shi Zhou's expression that he was no longer close.
She has long realized that she made too many mistakes on the road of Shizhou's growth, and the damage caused to the child's heart cannot be repaired.
These years, she was not considered an excellent wife, nor a qualified mother.
"Xiaozhou, I'm sorry for the mother who forced you to do many things you don't like these years. From now on, I will not interfere in any of your decisions."
Lou Keqin sincerely regretted and apologized. She looked at Sheng Yanwen and admitted for the first time, "As long as you two can be well, I wish you both."
Shi Zhou stood in a daze, hesitant to speak.
Sheng Yanwen took the initiative to ask, "Dad, Mom, where are you going to go next? Are you going to settle in Haishi, or go abroad?"
Shi Renqing embraced his wife, "We plan to return to Fushi to live."
It used to be the place that the husband and wife were least willing to recall, and now it is also the place they most want to go back to.
They are not good parents, nor are they good adoptive parents. At the beginning, they failed to investigate the truth of the death of their own son, and now they have separated their adopted son.
Even so, Shi Renqing and Lou Keqin are still sincerely grateful to Shi Zhou.
"Xiaozhou, you have done and paid enough for us these years. Your mother and I never thought of relying on you for the elderly. You don't have to have any burden."
Shi Renqing understood Shi Zhou's knot better than his wife, and took the initiative to shorten the so-called "nurturing grace".
"If you are willing in the future, come back and see us when you have time, and if you don't, parents also hope that you can live a safe and smooth life."
Shi Zhou's eyes were slightly sour, and thousands of words were merged into one word, "Okay."
Shi Renqing understood their inconvenience as public figures, so he didn't bother the two children on purpose, but just helped his wife to leave slowly.
Looking at their backs, Shi Zhou suddenly thought of a scene from his childhood——
Having regained his 'home', he stayed in the courtyard, watching the Shi couple accompany him to buy him delicious food.
At that moment, he really wanted to catch up and seize this moment, but in the end he just watched them go away.
Perhaps all of this is God's will in the dark.
Whether he voluntarily abandoned it, or the Shi family backed away, the Shi family was destined not to be his real home.
"Zhouzhou."
Wei Liang's hand was tightened again by Sheng Yanwen, which was an innate spiritual understanding, "Your home is here with me."
Shi Zhou returned with the same strength, and the last haze hidden in his past life completely dissipated.
"Ah."
...
The two sat back in the car and put on their seat belts.
The TV series "Bone Mirror" will be officially aired tonight, and Shi Zhou received a request from his manager, Di An, to take the opportunity to post a promotional Weibo.
It took only two months from Qin Yi's arrest to the end of the first trial.
The producer seized the initial wave of enthusiasm, quickly reorganized the shooting, and asked the screenwriter of the year to re-edit the last two episodes of the script.
Because the remaining filming content is not much, half a month ago, Shi Zhou and another lead actor, Chi Jinyuan, have successfully completed the final filming, and it is enough to wait for the post-editing to be completed before recording the dubbing.
The only regret is that "Bone Mirror" will not be able to regain its star status in the short term, but in order to avoid long nights and dreams, the producer still plans to broadcast it online in the form of an "online drama".
Real gold is not afraid of fire, and the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys.
As long as the quality of the series is excellent, you can still get the results you deserve.
After Shizhou posted the promotional Weibo, he saw the rumors that he was still "leisure" at home, and couldn't help asking, "Have you found the script? How long do you plan to rest?"
Sheng Yanwen smiled helplessly, "What? Are you rushing me into the group?"
"Well, it's been almost a year since "Wearing the Wind" ended, and it's time for you to take on a new TV series." Shi Zhou came up with a legitimate reason, and left an unreasonable reason aside.
"Don't worry, I want to spend more time with you." Sheng Yanwen rubbed the back of Shi Zhou's soft hand with his fingertips, and suggested, "If you plan to take on the suspense drama, I will act as your manager and accompany you into the group ?”
Shi Zhou pretended to be disgusted, "No, this is too clingy."
Sheng Yan let out a laugh when he heard the 'gas', "When you were in a foreign country, you thought you were far away, but now you think you are too close?"
Shi Zhou deliberately teased him, "Yes."
Sheng Yanwen had nothing to do with him, so he changed his mind and asked, "Are you really planning to take on that suspense drama?"
Half a month ago, Shi Zhou got a suspense drama with S-level investment. The producer valued the popularity of "Bone Mirror" and specially invited him to star in it.
To be honest, Shi Zhou didn't want his characters to be similar, for fear that he would be stereotyped in the future, but the script he handed over was indeed the best project he could have right now.
In front of his lover who knows everything, Shi Zhou doesn't hide it, "If there is no better choice, then it will be it."
Sheng Yanwen glanced at the time, "Maybe there is?"
Shi Zhou didn't react, "Huh?"
"Forgot who we made an appointment to have dinner with today?" Sheng Yanwen started the car and curled his lips, "It's almost past this time."
When Shi Zhou came to his senses, his eyes suddenly flickered with anticipation, "That's right."
--
At five o'clock in the evening, Yinyue restaurant.
Sheng Yanwen and Shi Zhou stepped into the box, and director Sun Cong and screenwriter Zhong Nanguan almost followed behind.
Originally, they made an appointment to meet after New Year's Day, but a series of unexpected things happened later, and they were delayed until now.
After a while, the four of them ordered the dishes.
Sheng Yanwen received the hint from Shi Zhou's gaze, and asked straight to the point, "Director Sun, Mr. Zhong, there must be a theme for the dinner appointment tonight, right?"
Sun Cong laughed twice, and looked at his friend next to him, "Let me tell you, these two young people have to ask before the dishes are served, that's enough, let's have dinner directly."
Zhong Nanguan opened his backpack, took out two stacks of small booklets and handed them over, "Look?"
Shi Zhou's eyes lit up, and he took it with both hands politely, "Thank you, Teacher Zhong."
He handed one of the volumes to Sheng Yanwen, and then impatiently read the introduction on the title page——
The outline of "Business Hunting" is based on the biography of the characters.
"Modern workplace business war drama, two male protagonists." Zhong Nanguan said concisely, "It is also an IP adapted from a novel."
Sheng Yanwen was surprised when he saw the pen name of the author of the original work, "Is this the original author of "Troubled Times"?"
Sun Cong reminded with a smile, "More than that, why don't you take a look at the names of the two male protagonists?"
"Ren Che."
"Bosheng."
Sheng Yanwen and Shi Zhou muttered at the same time, their expressions were a little subtle.
Zhong Nanguan took a sip of tea, and said very simply, "The original author started this new article in the late filming of "A Troubled World".
Although the original author did not admit it on the surface, most readers of the follow-up article are happy to regard it as a modern sequel to "Troubled Times" because of this surname and the details in the article.
Young people break up, meet again at the top, tit for tat, enemies and friends, reunite after a broken mirror, join forces to abuse the scum, the elements are full of sense and complete, the most important thing is——
This article has a happy ending!
"...The two male protagonists in it are about the same age as you are now, and the characters themselves and the plot of the business war are very brilliant."
Zhong Nanguan paused, and threw an olive branch at them directly, "How is it? Are you interested?"
