At dawn the next day.
Hangzhou City Higher People's Court, outside the mediation room of both parties.
"Xu Zhou, my suggestion is to lose some money. Your research results are still untouched so far... You almost understand it yourself."
Prison guard Zhao Qian persuaded Xu Zhou while taking him to the mediation room.
Director Zheng has said hello many times in the past two days, regardless of whether Xu Zhou was actually sentenced or whatever.
As long as the person is still in the detention center, Zhao Qian must be responsible for taking good care of the person and cannot neglect him.
So after going back and forth, the two of them became more familiar with each other.
Seeing that the final trial is about to begin, if this last opportunity for mediation is given up, Xu Zhou will only have a life in prison!
Xu Zhou's eyes hesitated for a moment, and then instantly became firm.
"Brother Zhao, stop talking, I've thought about it."
"I will not admit guilt and pay compensation for things I have not done. I believe that one day I will be cleared."
Zhao Qian was immediately speechless, and said with a bit of hatred:
"So what if one day comes? By then your life will be ruined!"
"But there must be someone in this world who insists on the truth. If I give in, Liu Yuxin's family will get the benefit and harm other people!"
Xu Zhou looked at Zhao Qian seriously and said, "Once you have determined something, you have to stick to it and give yourself an explanation."
"Besides... maybe things will turn around?"
Zhao Qian stared at Xu Zhou without saying a word.
Then he continued to lead the way and sighed, Turning around?
In his opinion, if Xu Zhou's research results were really useful, the higher-ups would have come to pick him up by now.
A few days have passed, and it is almost impossible to think of using research results to reduce the sentence or achieve a comeback. Xu Zhou is just deceiving himself.
And when things can obviously be solved with money, do you really want to give up the chance of reconciliation just for that one breath?
"Hey, it's up to you. You can listen to the other party's request when you go in later. If it's not too much... forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."
"I know, thank you, Brother Zhao."
A smile appeared on Xu Zhou's lips. He was not at all nervous about facing the final trial. Instead, he looked very comfortable.
What Zhao Qian didn't know was that just last night, Director Zheng of the detention center came to see him.
It probably means that there was an emergency call from above and Xu Zhou's relevant files were transferred.
Director Zheng was keenly aware that this incident might really alarm the senior leaders.
So with a trembling heart, he contacted his classmate Lao Li. The other party seemed to be inconvenient to talk, so he only said one sentence.
'I've been restricted from traveling. '
The amount of information brought by this short sentence directly overwhelmed Director Zheng's mind.
As a veteran official, he can be sure that something big will happen now!
Finally, Director Zheng tactfully expressed that he had accidentally detained the documents for a period of time.
When Xu Zhou heard this, he understood that the other party was afraid that he would become a big shot and cause trouble for him.
The information brought by Director Zheng has also become a thorn in Xu Zhou's mind, as long as the document is successfully delivered to the hands of Longguo's senior officials.
He has absolute confidence to make a comeback!
"Here we are, I'll take you in."
Zhao Qian pushed open the door of the mediation room.
Xu Zhou walked in and saw that Liu Yuxin, her mother and the lawyer she had met before were already sitting inside.
As soon as she saw Xu Zhou walking in, Liu Yuxin's mother immediately stood up, pointed at his nose and cursed emotionally.
Xu Zhou seemed to have not heard anything and found a seat to sit down on his own.
Seeing him like this, the other party was obviously stunned.
Liu Yuxin was also a little surprised and looked at the lawyer beside her.
"Have you finished your acting?"
"What? Acting?"
Xu Zhou was very calm and his tone was calm without any fluctuation.
"It's okay. I'm just here to go through the process. When the court is held, I will decide whatever I want. I won't give out any more points."
When Liu Yuxin's mother heard this, she immediately became anxious.
I originally thought that after so many days of suffering, Xu Zhou would give in.
Who would have expected that the first words they said upon meeting would be so direct!
At this time, the lawyer immediately said:
"Mr. Xu, I think you still don't understand what kind of punishment you are about to face..."
"Should I accept it no matter what, ten years, twenty years, or indefinitely?"
Xu Zhou interrupted the lawyer directly with a nonchalant look on his face.
"So what can I do? Even if the house in my name is donated to the mountainous area, I will not compensate you."
"As I said before, I will compensate you as scheduled as ordered by the court, but you want me to mediate privately to compensate you for more? Not even a cent is possible!"
Xu Zhou looked at the three people across from him and said his words in a harsh tone, refusing compensation other than the judgment.
Now the lawyer has no choice. The other party has made it clear that he does not want mediation, so what can he say?
Liu Yuxin on the other side still looked like she was about to cry, her face was concave, as if she had been really violated.
Her mother, on the other hand, was so angry that her hands were shaking.
"You... you are such a bad person! You actually donated your house and didn't give it to us, Yu Xin! Are you still a human being!"
"Haha, I'm not a human being. I have to learn from you about being a human being. If only I were half as shameless as you, I wouldn't be blackmailed!"
Xu Zhou replied.
"Xu Zhou, I know my actions hurt you, but it is a fact that you had sex against my will! Can't you consider my feelings?"
Liu Yuxin said pitifully, as if Xu Zhou didn't give her the house because he didn't consider her feelings.
"Haha, you are just thinking about my teacher's house? I think you might as well sell yourself at a clear price online."
"Xu Zhou, you..."
Liu Yuxin was so angry that she couldn't speak.
The mediators and staff around her all had vague sneers on their faces, which immediately made her unbearable.
At this time, Liu Yuxin's mother, who was even more shameless, had to take action. She pointed directly at Xu Zhou's nose and gritted her teeth.
"You scumbag, you know no good! My daughter is willing to forgive you because she feels sorry for you and doesn't want to ruin your future!"
"Isn't it right for you to transfer the house to my daughter in return? How can you be so ungrateful? My son is still waiting for this house to get married!"
"My family will give you another chance! As long as you can transfer the house, Yuxin will not only withdraw the lawsuit, but also tolerate the mistakes you made and continue to live with you!"
Xu Zhou looked at the ridiculous family in front of him and didn't even bother to respond.
How can a person be so shameless! How is this different from extortion?
It was as if he owed them the house and not giving it would be a heinous crime.
What a twisted family!
Xu Zhou stood up directly and faced the mediator and said:
"The mediation process is over, right? I refuse to continue communicating."
The mediator looked at him sympathetically and nodded.
"Okay, you go back to the detention room first and wait for the court session!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yuxin's mother immediately stepped forward to stop her.
"Wait! We haven't finished mediating yet, you can't take him away!"
The mediator would not be polite to her. He immediately glanced sideways and shouted in a low voice:
"This is the court! Mediation is based on the premise of voluntary consent of both parties. They don't ask for your forgiveness, so what's the point of mediating?"
After speaking, the mediator nodded to prison guard Zhao Qian, indicating that he could take Xu Zhou out of here.
But when Xu Zhou left, he could still hear Liu Yuxin's mother's abuse in the house.
"You are a bad guy that no one wants... just wait until you go to jail... we will definitely sue you to death!"
Xu Zhou turned around and followed Zhao Qian away from here with cold eyes, murmuring in his mouth.
"I hope you can still be so tough in the future!"
