Drenched

Chapter 23

Many years later, when Tong Yi recalled what happened today, she felt that it was very unreal.

He was wearing a black dress, black half sleeves, and black pants. He sat on the seat and looked at Gao Jun and his lawyer sitting opposite him.

He is a bit of a vicissitudes, although the hair is well-groomed, but the blue stubble on the face has emerged, looking very tired.

It's not at all what it was when they first met.

"Plaintiff witnesses, please speak." The presiding judge looked at Tong Yi.

Tong Yi didn't dare to look around all of a sudden, he felt that there were countless eyes shooting in his direction, with hatred and expectation.

He thought for a few seconds, then raised his head, "I did leave the company because of the theft of documents, but that's not the whole reason." Tong Yi looked at Gao Jun, "I lived with Gao Jun for a while, during which time we were both busy. I don’t know that he has any motive or means to steal secrets. So, here, I can only say that I have no knowledge of the whole incident.”

Everyone was dumbfounded. They never thought that Tong Yi, who was a witness, would not speak for the plaintiff. It sounded like he was defending the defendant. If he said that, the generous statement of the plaintiff's lawyer just now would be a little weak now.

"You mean, you can't prove that the defendant has harmed your interests?"

"Correct."

Tong Yi lowered his head again, and the moment he lowered his head, he saw Gao Jun's obviously shocked expression.

Witnesses gave no evidence, a rare occurrence in court, and no one else present expected it.

The trial continues.

"...the plaintiff has sufficient evidence, and the defendant Luo Shang** Company has indeed caused direct damage to the plaintiff's interests. According to Article 210 of the *Criminal Law*, the defendant Gao Jun, the person in charge of Luo Shang** Company, violated commercial secrets, which constituted a crime and was sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment In five years, the plaintiff Zhou Group will be compensated RMB 500 million..."

The presiding judge read a long paragraph of the verdict, and Tong Yi was only concerned about how long Gao Jun would stay in prison.

After hearing that it was five years later, his heart was relieved.

Five years, not too short but not too long, was enough for him to reflect on himself.

Tong Yi's fingers were twisted together, and he took several deep breaths before calming down.

He remembered the conversation with Zhou Jiansheng last night, Zhou Jiansheng told him that the person who will be tried today is Gao Jun, not him.Tong Yi's mood was a bit complicated, he never thought that Zhou Jiansheng already knew that he didn't do this thing, but he pretended to think how much wronged he had suffered.

He told Zhou Jiansheng that even if he testified in court, he would not tell everything.

It was Tong Yi's pride at work, he would not let him know about the phone call he accidentally overheard that day, and he would not let Zhou Jiansheng know about him and Gao Jun.

What's the use of mentioning this now?Anyway, he knew that no matter whether he would testify in court or not, the evidence Zhou Jiansheng had now was enough to prevent Gao Jun from returning to the business circle in his lifetime.

The revenge has also been avenged, and the Zhou family does not lack these compensations, so what is there to be dissatisfied with?

Gao Jun was taken away by two bailiffs, he looked at Tong Yi and Zhou Jiansheng before leaving.Tong Yi looked up to see him off, and when the two looked at each other, Tong Yi seemed to see him smile slightly, then turned and left without looking back.

It's all over.

The case had been tried for nearly seven hours, but Tong Yi felt as if he saw Gao Jun sitting in that position last second, looking at him, as if comforting him with his eyes, but the feeling was familiar and strange.

"Let's go." Zhou Jiansheng patted him on the shoulder lightly, and walked over.

Everyone was leaving one after another. Tong Yi sat on a chair and watched them. Over the years, they had experienced countless cases, as if they had seen all kinds of situations in the world, life and death.It is not surprising that such a commercial war has long been seen.

They have always been upright and treat everyone equally.

And he was just an ordinary citizen, unable to recite hundreds of laws and regulations. He only knew that one person ruined his future and career, and also ruined five years.Gao Jun and Zhou Jiansheng didn't have any intersection at all, and it was the grievances of his parents that made Gao Jun go astray, but now, he also bears the due consequences.

He didn't hate him for deceiving himself, after all, without him, maybe he would never have realized that stupid dream.

He just felt a little sad, but thankful.

At least alive, then there is hope.

Walking out of this solemn and solemn place, the sun shone on her body, hurting her eyes, Tong Yi raised her hand to cover the light, looking at the surrounding light, she suddenly had a feeling that all the shadows in her heart were being dispelled by the light.

Under the steps, Zhou Jiansheng stood in the distance and waited for him.

He stopped looking at him, walked down the steps step by step, and walked forward, he didn't want to face Zhou Jiansheng again.

Those unattainable feelings have been torn by myself and stuffed into a small box, hidden in a corner, and I don't want to touch them.

"Where are you going?" Zhou Jiansheng called to stop him.

Tong Yi adjusted his mood, stopped to look at him, and said politely: "Mr. Zhou, I have already appeared in court to testify according to your request. Now that the trial is over, I don't need to report to you where I am going?"

After Zhou Jiansheng heard these words, he was so angry that he didn't know what to say, he looked at Tong Yi in disbelief, "Say it again."

"I'm sorry Mr. Zhou, I still have something to do. I don't have time to play repeat games with you here. If I have nothing to do, I'll leave first." Tong Yi didn't even bother to maintain the smiling face just now, turned around and left after speaking.

Zhou Jiansheng stared at his back, and said coldly: "If you dare to leave, I will let the people inside take good care of him."

Tong Yi knew who he was talking about and stood there.

"It seems that you really hate me." Zhou Jiansheng approached him, Tong Yi felt chills behind him, and he heard Zhou Jiansheng chuckle.

"Yes, I sent him to prison, so what? What are you going to do? Now go build a good relationship with the prison guards and let them take care of him more? Or do you plan to use your ability to help Luo Shang make a comeback?" Zhou Jiansheng asked, The voice trembled slightly.

Tong Yi closed her eyes and clenched her teeth.

"How could I believe that stupid woman Li Danfei, thinking that you really like me?" At this moment, his voice became very small, paused for a few seconds, and then began to say: "You used to be afraid of me and hated me." I, hate me now. From the beginning to the end, he is the only one in your eyes, right? For you, I am a surveillance object in the contract, just your immediate boss!"

After Zhou Jiansheng yelled these words, his eyes were a little moist. He stared at him fiercely, and opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Tong Yi heard the footsteps behind her getting farther and farther away, and finally let go of her clenched fist, and her heart beat fast.

It all happened so suddenly, so unreal.

He suspected he was hallucinating.

Zhou Jiansheng just said that he thought he liked him?

None of the evidence he presented in court today pointed to Li Danfei. He thought that Zhou Jiansheng liked her.

But why did Li Danfei say such things to him, how did she know what she was thinking?

When Tong Yi came back to his senses, Zhou Jiansheng had already driven away. He was a little dazed looking at the endless street.
