Everyone was waiting for the final verdict in the courtroom!

The court was about to deliver its judgment!

The atmosphere before the verdict was still somewhat tense.

The four defendants sitting in the dock were even more nervous.

Even those in the audience held their breath.

The viewers in the livestream room were the same.

Everyone was anticipating the final judgment.

At this moment.

The presiding judge, Shen Jiarui, stood up.

Thud!

Presiding Judge Shen Jiarui struck the gavel.

"All rise!"

Everyone suddenly stood up.

This case was finally about to reach a conclusion!

The presiding judge and the assessors all stood up.

The prosecutor and everyone present in the courtroom.

Presiding Judge Shen Jiarui spoke.

"The facts of this case have been thoroughly investigated and verified."

"The judgment is now announced as follows:"

"Defendants Luo Hansheng, Zhao Quanzhong, Guo Liangping, and Hao Jian colluded for personal gain through power and money."

"The four of them used their authority within the university to conduct transactions of power and money."

"Among them, Luo Hansheng and Zhao Quanzhong engaged in illegal transactions using the management rights of the university's canteens and shops, gaining over 30 million yuan in the past ten years."

"They leased out the management rights of the canteens and shops, and these outlets have profited 98.73 million yuan."

"Guo Liangping, Hao Jian, Luo Hansheng, and Zhao Quanzhong fabricated names for poverty-stricken students every year to fraudulently obtain scholarship funds, including falsifying scholarships and employment subsidies, amounting to over 2 million yuan, distributing these resources to their 'own people' arbitrarily."

"Defendants Guo Liangping and Hao Jian also restricted Zhang Tao's personal freedom, constituting illegal detention."

"The actions of the defendants constitute multiple crimes, including abuse of power, illegal detention, embezzlement, bribery, and possessing a huge amount of unexplained wealth, which will be punished concurrently."

"Considering that the four have confessed and returned most of the funds, they should be given a lighter punishment."

"However, they violated the law knowingly, which is an aggravating factor, and it was only after authorities intervened that they confessed their crimes."

"Therefore, this case will be heavily punished!"

"Luo Hansheng is sentenced to life imprisonment and all personal property is confiscated."

"Zhao Quanzhong is sentenced to life imprisonment and all personal property is confiscated."

"Guo Liangping is sentenced to seven years in prison, and Hao Jian to seven years in prison, each fined 300,000 yuan."

"The defendants are to bear all litigation costs in this case."

"Yangcheng University is ordered to re-evaluate the selection for poverty scholarships and regular scholarships."

"Luo Hansheng's position as the principal and Zhao Quanzhong's position as vice-principal are to be revoked."

"Yangcheng University is also ordered to establish a complete system for evaluating and selecting scholarships to ensure fairness, justice, and transparency."

"Furthermore, students who obtained poverty scholarships through fraud will be penalized, and compensations will be made to students who rightfully deserved the scholarships."

"The judgment is concluded."

"After this judgment, the verdict documents will be delivered to the parties concerned within seven working days."

"If there is any objection, an appeal can be made to the Supreme People's Court."

Presiding Judge Shen Jiarui struck the gavel.

Thud!

"Court is adjourned!"

The presiding judge's voice fell.

This judgment... was over!

A judgment that was greatly satisfying!

The livestream room exploded instantly!

[Wow!]

[Awesome! Lawyer Gu is too impressive!]

[They directly sentenced the defendants to life imprisonment; the principal and vice-principal both got life sentences! Plus, their entire personal property was confiscated, how satisfying!]

[Sure is satisfying, they're all locked up for life!]

[Too bad they weren't sentenced to death, a death penalty would have been perfect.]

[Life imprisonment isn't bad at all, considering there wasn't any murder or arson, life imprisonment is fitting!]

[Now these are true Lawless Madmen!]

[They absolutely shouldn't have messed with Zhang Tao's scholarship. Who could've known Zhang Tao would find Lawyer Gu, the Lawless Madman, who uncovered everything and got them all sent in.]

[I can only say this judgment is great! Nice!]

[Directly sentenced to life! Hahaha.]

After the judgment.

Zhang Tao was somewhat emotional...

The judgment was over!!

In the future, the rights of all students at the school will be protected!

All those impoverished students can now receive the poverty scholarships that belong to them!

And all of this was achieved with the help of Gu Chen.

Zhang Tao was somewhat emotional.

Lawyer Gu is really incredible!

Zhang Tao said, "Finally, it's over!! Thank you so much, Lawyer Gu, for helping me with this case..."

Zhang Tao knew he hadn't paid Lawyer Gu a single penny.

He didn't spend even a penny on litigation fees.

Of course, these litigation fees were still included in the contract.

Because the defendants were to cover the litigation costs.

In this way, Gu Chen still earned 200,000 yuan in litigation fees, while Zhang Tao didn't spend a dime from start to finish.

After this lawsuit was over, Zhang Tao felt it was worth it.

Now no one in the school would dare openly exploit impoverished students' scholarships anymore.

Upon hearing this verdict...

Yin Xiaodong couldn't believe it.

How could they be sentenced so heavily?

Usually, a ten-year sentence would have sufficed.

But they were sentenced to life imprisonment?

The thing is, even if it's life imprisonment...

Life imprisonment now usually means spending about twenty years in prison...

The issue was the confiscation of all personal property.

All personal property was confiscated!!!

Luo Hansheng: "????"

Zhao Quanzhong: "????"

The two of them were a bit incredulous.

Sentenced to life imprisonment?

All personal property confiscated?

The thing is, the money they made, they hadn't even dared to spend.

They hid it all and didn't dare spend recklessly.

And now...

All personal property was confiscated?

The key point being that it also included their salaries from the past ten years!

If their personal property was all taken...

How would their wives and daughters survive?

Moreover, with a life sentence...

At their current age, being imprisoned for life meant they would never get out!

Luo Hansheng thought for a moment.

Yes, appeal!

An appeal is still possible!

Luo Hansheng looked at Yin Xiaodong and said, "Lawyer Yin, I want to appeal! I have to appeal!!! I must appeal!!! I spent so much money, I confessed so diligently, but ended up with a life sentence? I originally thought I'd be sentenced to ten years at most, and yet they took away all my personal property? I won't have a job or a pension when I get out in the future, why? My whole life is ruined, my child is doomed... and my wife has no source of income."

Zhao Quanzhong was also dissatisfied, "I want to appeal! Appeal! I must appeal!! If this judgment stands, I'm heartbroken, getting a life sentence! Will I ever get out of prison in this life? I only made a little money, and yet this warrants such a long sentence? Besides, I've already returned a lot of money....."
