"This is a breakdown of the lost wages."

"This is..."

One piece of evidence after another was listed.

Each was presented before the collegiate bench.

The Judgment Chief and the other judges diligently compared these videos and documentary evidence.

Afterward, the Judgment Chief looked towards the defendant's bench, asking, "Does the defense have any objections to these pieces of evidence?"

Zhang He swallowed hard. He couldn't help but look towards Zhang Wei.

However, Zhang Wei still maintained that same calm and untroubled demeanor. His expression was normal, and he said nothing.

"I... I..." Zhang He stammered.

He looked extremely anxious and turned to Bai Shuirong in the witness stand behind him.

At this moment, Bai Shuirong, also filled with anxiety, stared at Zhang Wei from the witness stand.

She burst out in court, "Say something, will you? Didn't you say we could refute it?"

"We have evidence too, bring out our evidence!"

No sooner had she spoken than the Judgment Chief sternly reprimanded, "Witness, please maintain silence!"

During the trial, the order of speaking for everyone was determined by the Judgment Chief. Those not requested to speak were prohibited from speaking. Otherwise, it was highly likely the opposing parties would start quarreling in court.

Upon hearing Bai Shuirong's "reminder," the corners of Zhang Wei's mouth twitched involuntarily. But still, he dared not produce the so-called "evidence." This was not only to protect himself but also his third aunt. However, in the courtroom, he couldn't explain the gravity of the situation to Bai Shuirong. He could only remain silent.

"Defendant, these pieces of evidence indicate the infringer as Zhang Linlin. Do you have any objection to this?" the Judgment Chief asked again.

Finally, Zhang Wei took a deep breath, stood up, and said, "We have no objections."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Bai Shuirong, in the witness stand, exploded, trembling with rage. She wished she could go up and argue the case herself.

The Judgment Chief, surprised, glanced at Zhang Wei, Zhang He, and Bai Shuirong, but still nodded.

He continued, "Moreover, these repair quotes are all officially issued by the 4S shops for maintenance and replacement, in addition to compensation for emotional distress, lost wages, travel expenses, and so on, totaling 1.09 million."

"Do you have any objections to this?"

After he spoke, a bailiff came forward and handed copies of the documents to Zhang Wei and Zhang He.

As Zhang He looked over the densely packed quotation sheets, he felt his scalp tingle.

Zhang Wei, however, carefully reviewed them, checking for any excessive demands.

Several minutes later, he shook his head. "We have no objections."

As soon as he spoke, Bai Shuirong's eyes widened in the witness stand, her breathing becoming rapid. She was on the verge of an outburst. From her expression, it looked as if she wanted to tear Zhang Wei limb from limb and take his place.

The Judgment Chief listened, also somewhat surprised. No objection to this either?

He couldn't help but look at Zhang He, asking, "Regarding the plaintiff's evidence and the claim for 1.09 million, do you have any objections?"

These two key points of contention were the focus of the case. If both parties had no objections, then it would simply be a matter of compensation, and there would have been no need to bring the case to court.

Therefore, he specifically questioned Zhang He, the legal guardian of the involved party.

"Son, hurry, bring out the evidence! If we use that evidence, we've won!" Seeing this, Bai Shuirong, in the witness stand, felt a glimmer of hope rekindle in her eyes. She immediately called out loudly as a reminder.

"Witness, please maintain silence!" The Judgment Chief frowned and admonished once more.

From the defendant's bench, Zhang He looked back at his mother and swallowed. He couldn't help but glance at Zhang Wei. He saw Zhang Wei repeatedly making eye signals, seemingly urging him not to proceed.

As for that video... He knew about it. It was completely fabricated. On that day, at that specific time, his son had indeed gone out to play. After the incident, he had repeatedly confirmed that it was indeed his son who had keyed the cars. Facing the solemn courtroom and the scrutiny of the collegiate bench, he was extremely nervous and dared not lie. Even though his mother was urging him from behind, he still didn't dare present that fabricated video evidence.

"I... I... I also have no objections," he finally forced himself to say under the repeated prodding of the Judgment Chief.

"Since both parties have no objections..." In the courtroom, the Judgment Chief, wearing a peculiar expression, continued, "Then the central point of contention in this case is resolved."

"It can be determined that Zhang Linlin caused damage to the vehicles of the nine plaintiffs."

"The damage estimate is reasonable, amounting to 1.09 million."

He had presided over civil litigation cases for over a decade. It was very rare to have a case resolved in less than half an hour of a court session. Almost every civil dispute required four or five hours to be fully heard.

Of course, the main reason was that the defense seemed to have conceded, admitting to the act of vandalism and the compensation claimed.

In civil procedure law, there is an essential principle: during litigation, if one party states facts detrimental to themselves, or explicitly admits to facts detrimental to themselves, the other party is not required to provide evidence for these facts. The court also does not need to organize further examination of evidence and can directly ascertain the facts. The parties involved also cannot overturn facts they have acknowledged in later stages of the trial.

On one hand, this regulation reduces the complexity of civil litigation. On the other hand, it requires that parties exercise caution and prudence in their statements during court proceedings.

This principle also fully illustrates that words should not be spoken carelessly.
