After the trial continued, the presiding judge read out the judgement:

In order to maintain public order and ensure the inviolability of citizens' rights of the person and property, in accordance with the provisions of Articles 232, 48, paragraph 2, 57, paragraph 1, 36, paragraph 1, and Article 119 of the General Principles of the Civil Law of the People's Republic of China, the sentences are as follows:

2. The defendant shall pay compensation to the plaintiff in civil action, Su Zobo, for his funeral expenses of 1,500 yuan and for compensation for his death of 200,000 yuan, for a total compensation of 20,1500 yuan.

Such compensation shall be paid in one lump sum within three months after the date of entry into force of this judgment.

If you do not accept this judgment, you may, within 10 days of receiving the judgment, appeal to the Higher People's Court of Hunan through the Court or directly. If an appeal is filed in writing, a copy of the original bill of complaint and a copy thereof shall be submitted.

After the first trial, Yang Wen did not appeal, and the Public Prosecutor's Office did not lodge a complaint.

After hearing the court's announcement, Yang Xue let out a long breath. His little brother's life was temporarily saved.

As she walked out of the courthouse, her brother's eyes were still etched deep in her mind, a mixture of pain, terror, despair, and anticipation. The moment she saw her brother being led into court by the police, her heart almost broke. His younger brother was still so young, and the road to life was still so long, what should he do? Is this how you ruin your life?

As Yang Xue thought about this, two streams of tears unknowingly flowed from her eyes.

"Miss Yang." A magnetic man floated over with a soft voice. It was pleasant and gentle.

Yang Xue turned around to look. It turned out to be the General Manager of Xiangheng Company, Zhou Zhiqiang. In fact, she had noticed him in court. It was unexpected that Zhou Zhiqiang was also concerned about her, so Yang Xue couldn't help but feel touched.

"Do you still know me?" Zhou Zhiqiang said.

"I do." You've been to my mentor's house many times. I remember that you said you were only there to ask about the treatment of depression with Fantasy Mushroom. "

"Yes, every time I go there, I see you in your white lab coat, greeting me with a big smile. Your smile is like a ray of sunshine in winter. It can make people feel warm, so I have a deep impression of you. Yesterday your mentor told me that your brother is going to be sentenced to court today, and I happened to be here on a business trip, so I stopped by to listen. Seeing the grief on your face, you must be very sad. "

"Yes."

"You've lost a lot of weight recently, be careful not to tire yourself out." Zhou Zhiqiang asked with concern, "You have to worry a lot about your brother, right?"

"It's elder sister's responsibility." "I can't watch my brother get sentenced to death without paying attention."

"You're such a good sister." Zhou Zhiqiang praised him and then asked, "In order to pay off the civil compensation, I heard that you're planning to sell your new house?"

Yang Xue lowered her head and didn't say anything.

"Do you have enough money?"

"To be honest, we're still a hundred thousand short." Yang Xue replied.

"What are you going to do? Is the loan repaid? "

"I really want to borrow money. I'm afraid the bank doesn't want to. I don't have any valuable collateral." Yang Xue bitterly smiled, and ran her hand through her hair, "I have made up my mind, I will study while I work." If necessary, for the sake of my brother, I am willing to give up my current studies. "

"It is not advisable to give up school. As for studying while working at the same time, it's actually a feasible plan. "

"Manager Zhou means …"

"If you like, I can provide you with a part-time job."

"Is that so? "Really?"

"It's true. Since some of our products need to be extracted from some natural plants and the principle involves the field of pharmaceutical chemistry, and we also need to consult the practices of our foreign industry in designing some new products, we need a professional to help us search for some foreign materials and translate them into Chinese. Your major in university happens to be pharmacy, and your English level has already far surpassed that of your peers. Therefore, your teacher specifically recommended you. I wonder if you'd like to take the job? "

"Yes, I'll try."

After Zhou Zhiqiang left, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard. When Yang Xue turned around, she saw an extremely well-dressed young girl walking in front of her. Her hair tumbled like a falling cloud, and the anger on her face was like a waterfall.

"Miss Yang Xue, you really are capable." The young girl said in an extremely unfriendly tone.

"Who are you?" Yang Xue replied with the same tone.

"I'm Zhou Zhiqiang's girlfriend, Wang Kelly. Do you understand?" The girl raised her voice slightly.

"Is there something you need from me?" After Yang Xue found out Wang Kaili's identity, although she didn't understand why Wang Kaili's attitude was so unfriendly, her tone of voice turned gentle and polite.

"I tell you, you can't get close to our general manager."

"What are you talking about? "Miss Wang Kaili."

"Do you think I can't see it? From the reluctant look in Manager Zhou's eyes just now, I can tell what you are thinking. Let me tell you, it's best if you don't have your eyes on Manager Zhou, and don't have any ideas on him. "

Wang Kaili's words were like needles stabbing into Yang Xue's heart.

"What right do you have to insult me like that?"

"Hmph, on what basis? One day you will understand what I mean. "

"Thank you for your advice. I know what I'm going to do." Yang Xue replied and left in a hurry.

That night, it snowed hard and he did not sleep well.

Early the next morning, Yang Xue carried her luggage and came to Yang Wen's prison to visit him.

When Yang Wen walked into the reception room in his prison uniform, even though he was already mentally prepared, Yang Xue's heart still involuntarily trembled. With a pained look, she looked up and down at Yang Wen, who was getting thinner and thinner, and after a long time softly called out, "Little brother."

Yang Wen called out to his sister. His voice was choked with sobs as tears welled up in his eyes.

Yang Xue took out a tissue from the bag and helped Yang Wen wipe away his tears. "Man, don't cry!"

Yang Wen pointed at the white cloth wrapped around his head and cried, "Sister, I know everything. It was Mr. He who told me. "Father is no longer here, so I can only show filial piety to father in prison. I let dad down, I let mom down, and I let sister down too."

"Wen Wen, everything is over. This time, Big Sister brought you a lot of delicious things to eat. " With that, Yang Xue poured out the contents of the backpack. There were apples, cakes, peanut butter, and so on.

"Elder sister, I didn't kill anyone. I was wrongly accused." Suddenly, Yang Wen could no longer control himself and knelt on the ground, "Elder sister, you have to save me, you have to think of a way to save me. I'm still young, and I don't want to be here. After I went out, I didn't dare disobey my sister anymore, and I wouldn't make my mother angry. I don't want to go to jail, I want to get out. "

Yang Wen screamed at the top of his lungs, causing Yang Xue's heart to feel as if it was being stabbed by knives. She couldn't even make a sound.

"Big sister believes you didn't kill anyone, but the police handled the case in accordance with the law."

"Sister, what should I do?" Yangwen looked up, tears streaming down his face.

"To help you, we need to first find out that you are innocent." Yang Xue asked, "Tell sister, what exactly happened?"

"Hazel and I are friends. Like me, he is a student who failed the college entrance examination. He lives in Green Dragon Town. One day we had a drink at his house and were talking when two other friends arrived. One of them was a shorter man named Li Youchun, and the other was taller and fatter. I didn't know his real name at first, but then I found out it was Wang Zuohua. After playing for a while, they suggested that everyone play poker and level up their game. At first I didn't want to, said Hazelnut. I couldn't lose more than a few dollars. So I agreed to play a few rounds with them. I didn't expect my luck to be so good that I won more than a hundred yuan. Then they raised the stakes, and I was still lucky enough to win more than six hundred dollars in one go. Later, they said that police officers from the police stations were often in the vicinity to make secret visits to catch gamblers. If they were caught red-handed, not only would they be searched for all the money on their bodies, but they would also order the gamblers to pay a fine of three to five thousand yuan. Therefore, everyone felt that it was not safe to continue playing, so they discussed and moved on. " Yang Wen said with a sullen face, "I shouldn't have agreed to keep playing with them, otherwise nothing else would have happened."
