Chapter 193 Huge Compensation (Fourth Update)

In the intensive care unit of Yangchuan City's No. 1 Hospital, Zhou Jin had several tubes inserted into his arm. He lay dejectedly on the bed, his eyes staring at the ceiling with a bit of lifelessness.

The hospital did not abuse Zhou Jin because he was a criminal. On the contrary, the conditions in the ward were very good, the heating was turned on very well, and the picturesque park was outside the window. The young nurses in charge of the ward were at least 80 points in appearance. If there was no serious illness, living here was almost like recuperation, and it was refreshing.

But Zhou Jin had no intention of paying attention to these things. He felt cold in his heart.

At first, he couldn't understand why a perfect plan that could kill Su Ming ended up in a hasty way, as if the opponent had known everything for a long time!

He even had a feeling that all his plans were in the eyes of the other party. From the beginning to the end, he seemed to have the initiative, but he was completely following the rhythm of the other party.

Looking back, he dug a hole and buried himself.

When the investigation team brought the bald man, the "tainted witness", to his room to interview him, he immediately understood everything.

His most capable and trusted subordinate, the bald man, betrayed him!

If the bald man became a traitor, then there would be no secrets at all! Su Ming knew every move clearly, but he watched calmly and coldly until the most critical moment, and then let the bald man come out to report and give him a fatal blow.

"I am a joke!" Zhou Jin's mouth was full of bitterness. He had calculated everything, but he didn't expect to be like a clown on the stage.

Although he was in pain and anger, he was not desperate.

After working hard in society for half a lifetime, Zhou Jin had seen so many storms and waves. He could reach this point today, and naturally he had his own strengths!

He spent a huge sum of money, almost all the money he had earned in the past few years, and finally got a year of probation. Anyway, the Huating Reservoir is still in his hands, and the old foundation of the fishery company is still there. As long as he can be discharged smoothly and continue to run the fishery company, there will always be a day for him to turn things around.

This is a forgetful age. How many shocking news appear on the Internet every day? But it won’t take long before it will be gradually forgotten. As long as he can continue to run the company and wait until this storm is over, he may not be able to make a comeback!

"One day I will tell everyone that I must take back what I lost with my own hands!" Zhou Jin suddenly thought of a line in A Better Tomorrow, which is very appropriate at this time.

At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open, and two staff members in court uniforms walked in.

"Comrade Zhou Jin, on behalf of the Yangchuan Intermediate People's Court, I'm here to inform you that a civil dispute will be heard in two days. Eleven breeders in Yangchuan City jointly sued you for unfair competition, which caused them huge economic losses. This is the court's subpoena. The second trial court will be held in two days. I hope you can..."

The staff member who delivered the subpoena looked at the various tubes inserted in Zhou Jin's arm, shook his head, and said: "It doesn't matter if you can't appear in court. The court will appoint a defense lawyer for you. I've put the subpoena here."

After saying that, he put a court subpoena on the head of Zhou Jin's bed and turned away, leaving Zhou Jin lying on the bed in a daze.

...

Two days later, the second trial court of the Yangchuan Intermediate People's Court opened a trial. When the defendant Zhou Jin was ill and unable to attend, the "civil dispute" was heard.

The plaintiff, 11 farmers mainly in Shuijun Lake, sued Zhou Jin for using unfair competition and spreading rumors, which directly led to the downturn in the fishery market in Yangchuan City. Su Ming alone lost nearly 600,000 yuan in orders during this not-so-long rumor period, and the other several farmers lost more than 2 million yuan in direct losses.

This is only the visible direct loss. In the lawsuit, the plaintiff also added mental and reputation compensation. Zhou Jin was ridiculed by the crowd this time, which greatly damaged the reputation of all farmers in Yangchuan City.

The plaintiff's lawyer believes that although the plaintiff's innocence has been proved after investigation, the adverse effects caused are difficult to completely recover. In particular, Zhou Jin, as the vice chairman of the Fisheries Association, secretly spread rumors and suppressed local farmers, making the fishery market in Yangchuan City face a difficult situation for a long time and losing the trust of a large part of the people.

Therefore, Zhou Jin should not only compensate for direct losses, but also be responsible for future indirect losses.

As for evidence, the government investigation team has investigated very clearly and reached a conclusion, and there is no question at all.

The defendant, Zhou Jin's lawyer, could not raise any decent rebuttal at all. The entire trial was just a formality from beginning to end. Only at the end of the case did he symbolically mention that the defendant was in poor health and hoped that the court would consider the case and reduce the sentence based on humanitarian considerations.

"Now, the trial and judgment of Yangzi Civil No. 2014180 are announced. All stand up."

Everyone in the court stood up, and the presiding judge read the judgment with an expressionless face: "The defendant Zhou Jin, for violating..."

"Compensate eleven breeders for a total of 4.6 million Chinese yuan. This judgment is served to both the plaintiff and the defendant and will take effect from the date of issuance."

After the trial, Su Ming exchanged a few words with several other breeders, and then stepped forward to shake hands with Zhang Siming, the lawyer introduced by Zhao Yun.

"Lawyer Zhang, you will need to worry about the following matters."

It does not mean that if the court orders compensation, the money will be received. In fact, in many cases, the judgment does not play any role. If the defendant refuses to pay, there is nothing to do, and he can even not attend the trial.

Many deadbeats are formed in this way. They have money but just drag their feet. The plaintiff won the judgment, but not only did not get a penny, but even had to pay various expenses. It is a typical case of winning the lawsuit and losing money.

Therefore, the subsequent compensation matters still require a capable lawyer who has good relationships with all parties to open up many links and ensure that the compensation is smoothly in place.

On the public security side, Nangong's family has connections. Her father is the leader of the city's criminal police team. On the court side, professionals like lawyer Zhang Siming are needed.

"Don't worry, you are Lao Zhao's friend. I will definitely do a good job of what he entrusted to me." Zhang Siming said with a smile.

"However, I heard that the Huating Fishery Company doesn't have much money on its books, and it's not enough to pay the compensation. Maybe they have to use their assets to pay off the debt." Su Ming learned from the bald man that Zhou Jin spent money like water in the past six months, and the current funds on the books of the fishery company were less than one million.

Lawyer Zhang Siming heard Su Ming's hidden meaning, looked around to see if there was anyone around, pulled Su Ming to the corner of the corridor, and said in a low voice: "What do you want to do?"
