Chapter 73 Sentenced to Death
The group had finally arrived in the courtroom. Yang Rong’s photo had already been exposed on the internet. As such, everyone could recognize her from a mile away. As soon as they saw the young girl stepping into the building, the reporters imdiately crowded around her with microphones and caras in hand. However, before they could get any closer, a group of suited n blocked them.
Yao Tang and the others walked expressionlessly behind her.
The court session would imdiately comnce at 10 AM.
Yang Rong saw a skinny middle-aged man sitting on the defendant’s bench. Imdiately, her chest constricted, and her breathing beca heavy. Her hands trembled as flashes of that night soared through her mind. “I’ll be okay,” she whispered. “I’ll be okay.”
Jiang Shen had already prepared all the evidence weeks ago, so he didn’t take long to finish his argunts. His words, as usual, were sharp and cold. Within just ten minutes, he had rebutted all the argunts shot by Cao Gang, silencing him completely.
Within an hour, the judge himself had finally made his decision.
Cao Gang was sentenced to death.
The trial was being live stread online, as such, everyone was tuning in from the comforts of their hos.
As soon as they heard the decision, the residents of City A cheered. Finally! Justice had finally been served!
Yao Tang sat in the gallery, crossing her legs. Her fingers dug into her skin as she stared at Cao Gang with her freezing gaze. If looks could kill, the man would’ve already dropped dead.
He should’ve been dead twelve years ago. Her hands clenched into fists.
The trial had finally ended.
When Yao Tang and Yang Ronghad co out, they were imdiately greeted by a bright young woman. She had an ID strapped around her neck as she stood in the courtroom. Long strands of hair fell to her sides, hiding the pen behind her ears.
“Yao Tang,” the woman shouted in greeting. However, when she saw the man standing beside her, she almost staggered back in surprise. “Young Master Cheng, you said sothing about doing an exclusive interview with soone today. Is it about today’s case?”
Cheng Yan nodded.
“Ah.” The woman blinked in delight. “What a coincidence. I also ca here because soone else had asked to.”
She nodded at Yao Tang.
Cheng Yan tilted his head in interest. She actually knew Beijing’s most valued reporter Song Han.
Song Han was the best reporter in the nation!
“I’ll give you around half an hour.” She shrugged. “We still have to go back to class.”
The reporter rolled her eyes. “Boss, I need to find a place first to do the interview. We can do it here, but then…”
Cheng Yan nodded. “Let’s go to my place. I have an apartnt here, so it isn’t that far away.”
On the night of the trial, the national television channel blurred to life.
It was the two-minute video of Yang Rong’s exclusive interview.
During this ti, City A’s high school was also conducting its evening study session.
Everyone imdiately tuned in to Yang Rong’s interview, far too distracted to do their own howork.
There, they could see a seventeen-year-old girl seated on the couch with a gentle expression painted across her features. She tilted her head kindly as her hands folded onto her lap.
Song Han smiled. “Rong Rong, the man who had hurt you was finally brought to justice. Do you have anything to say about this?” “Twelve years ago, that man had taken advantage of his ntal illness certificate to avoid being sentenced to prison,” she slowly said. “My lawyer had tried his best to send him for twelve years, to which he succeeded. But I was devasted. I thought that was it, but I still rember him-you know? He haunted my dreams, and it destroyed . He destroyed .”
“It must’ve been difficult for you.”
“It was, but it’s in the past now. Everything is changing for the better.” She took a deep breath. “The only thing I can do now is to thank the friend who hasn’t given up on .”
This ti, she had finally smiled at the cara. “The law has always been used to protect the rights of all of us, and it shouldn’t be exploited by just about anyone.”
“The law is broad, but it shouldn’t allow for loopholes.”
“I’m very grateful for the recent improvents that the governnt has made. That way, the guilty would have nowhere else to run.”
As Yang Rong continued to speak, her eyes beca cold. “With so many problems that we face today, we have no other choice but to improve our system. Let the guilty get the punishnt they deserve. ntal illnesses shouldn’t be taken advantage of,” she stated. “And it shouldn’t be used as an excuse to do wrong.”
“Our laws are used to protect us. Every single one of us should respect it, just as we respect those who have created it.”
Song Han nodded thoughtfully. It seed that the Big Boss had made the right choice in letting her interview her.
“We should all believe in the fairness of the law. Late is better than never,” she said strongly.
The case had attracted the attention of the entire country. Even the upper society had been surprised. Jiang Shen and Song Han were the top figures in their respective careers, and they had never acted rashly. Yet, they were here-at the sa ti for the sa case.
What was so special about Yang Rong? And who was she thanking?
