A large part of this was thanks to Qin Mu. If he hadn't happened to be at the agritainment back then, the subsequent developments might have been entirely different. She wouldn't even have been able to secure bail pending trial, let alone be acquitted.

Qin Mu awkwardly touched his nose. He was somewhat at a loss for words. He had been labeled a 'good guy' once again. Previously, his grandnephew had been the one, and now, it was his grandniece.

"Now that the judgment has been delivered, there is actually something I want to remind you of," Qin Mu said.

He took a deep breath and said earnestly, "In the judgment, the court clearly recognized the other party's actions as violent crimes, not just unlawful infringements. This means that the wedding disturbers on that day have already committed the crime of indecent assault. If you want to seek justice, you now have the option to report it to the police."

In the final judgment, the court clearly affirmed that the behavior of the wedding disturbers was a serious violent crime that violated the personal safety of others. In other words, they had committed the crime of indecent assault.

Previously, the prosecutor's office had always deemed the other party's actions an unlawful infringement and did not elevate it to a serious criminal level. Therefore, they did not take the initiative to file a case and arrest them.

With this judgment, if Huang Lan decides to go to the police, the public security bureau must accept the case and report it to the prosecutor's office for prosecution.

"Sue... them?" After listening to Qin Mu's reminder, Huang Lan couldn't help but shiver.

The scene of the wedding disturbance that day... She remembered it vividly. That group of youths had acted despicably, not only being handsy but also tearing at clothes.

"Qin Mu is right. There was controversy before, but now you..." Zhang Wei nodded and added, "Sue them, and it's a guaranteed conviction. Every one of the wedding disturbers caught on video will go to jail."

The court's determination had legal effect. According to criminal law, those who use violence, coercion, or other methods to forcibly commit indecent acts against others or insult women shall be sentenced to imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention. Those who commit the aforementioned crimes as part of a group or in a public place, or in other aggravating circumstances, shall be sentenced to a fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years.

The more than ten young people involved in the wedding disturbance at the time clearly fell into the category of committing indecent assault as part of a group in a public place. They would be sentenced to more than five years of fixed-term imprisonment based on the circumstances! Even the lightest sentence would be five years!

"Five years?" Huang Lan's eyes widened, and her breathing quickened.

She had been focused on her own case and had never thought of suing them. Now, hearing the professional explanations from Qin Mu and Zhang Wei, she suddenly became agitated. She... despised these people to death. They had turned a perfectly normal wedding hazing into hooliganism, committing indecent acts under the guise of hazing.

Thinking of this, she picked up her phone and began to dial the police emergency number.

「At the same time.」

In the care home.

"Eh? Why is it gone?"

"They're not broadcasting it? Wasn't it supposed to be live?"

"How could they cut it off at such an exciting part?"

"Xiao Wang, come and take a look! Did our subscription expire? Let's renew it quickly!"

Zhang Qingyuan and the others, facing the blank screen, all looked towards Wang Dachui, appearing somewhat anxious.

A second ago, they were still thoroughly enjoying the spectators' dramatic antics in the courtroom. After the judgment, the case was settled, and the bridesmaid was acquitted. But Liu Mei and the other women had exploded on the spot, causing chaos in the court and collectively threatening the collegial panel. They even declared they wouldn't leave unless the judgment was changed. Despite several warnings from the collegial panel, they remained stubbornly defiant. The scene was undeniably thrilling.

However, right at the climax, the screen suddenly went dark.

Wang Dachui cleared his throat. "It should be… the court that cut off the live broadcast," he explained to everyone.

The court had authorized the live broadcast of Huang Lan's case. Now that it had been judged, there was naturally no need to continue the broadcast. As for the ruckus caused by the many women in the gallery... it was probably cut off for fear of negative publicity.

"Can't we watch even if we pay?" Zhang Qingyuan, still feeling unsatisfied, asked reluctantly.

Wang Dachui was speechless. Pay money? What a load of nonsense! This wasn't some subscription show on a platform. Clearly, an unexpected situation had occurred. Now it was just a matter of seeing how the court would resolve the issue.

And Wan Zhongyuan, the deputy director mingling among the elderly, also stood up after the screen went black. Unlike Zhang Qingyuan and the others' agitation, he was expressionless. His mood seemed very calm.

Then he walked up to Wang Dachui and said indifferently, "As the care home's legal counsel, you have a responsibility to educate the elderly about the law. You should organize more of these live broadcast viewing activities in the future. This can enrich the seniors' cultural and spiritual life, increase their legal knowledge, and help them better understand and abide by the law."

He paused, then added, "Next time you stream a trial, remember to notify me in advance."

After saying this, he turned and left with his hands behind his back. He had joined too late this time. He missed a large part of the court proceedings...

「Mountain and Water Garden District.」

After the trial ended, Qin Mu went straight home. The court hearing this time had lasted eight hours. Including recess time, it went from ten in the morning until seven in the evening. By the time he got home, it was already after eight.

He spent some time making dinner. Just as he was about to eat, he suddenly received a message from Chen Zishi, telling him what had happened in court after he left. After the judgment was delivered, Liu Mei and the others refused to accept the decision and were still stubbornly remaining in the courtroom, refusing to leave.
