Chapter 243 - 180: Public Opinion Erupts! The Eve of Trial!

Translate to

These details are currently quite vague.

It's hard to point the finger directly at Jinyang Steel Plant; at most, it only proves there's a problem with Sunzhou's environment.

However...

"Take a good look."

Xu Liang put away Sun Jin's autopsy report and placed it in his briefcase.

He then pulled out the newspapers and other information he had gathered over the past few days.

Wang Chao took a look and instantly widened his eyes.

[Shocking! Latest news: Lanshan Province has established a provincial task force to supervise the Sunzhou environmental pollution case, which is now being investigated in Sunzhou City!]

[The sweet spring water isn't 'sweet'! It might cost you your life; follow our reporter for more details...]

[In the Heishan area, local villagers discovered a deeply hidden pipeline, which was indeed the true culprit of environmental pollution. According to investigations, the pipeline connects to 'Jinyang Steel Plant'....]

[Note! A water company advertisement claims 'We are merely nature's carriers,' now states they are not carriers for Sunzhou's water source, and consumers can continue to consume normally...]

[...]

A flood of reports about environmental pollution suddenly swept in like a swarm.

Wang Chao's eyes were glued wide open.

He watched from one newspaper to another.

No investigation from Xu Liang was needed at all...

The newspapers were littered with evidence of Jinyang Steel Plant polluting the environment!

Putting other matters aside,

Even if Xu Liang simply brought the newspapers to court, validated by the court, they could directly declare the plaintiff victorious.

No need for investigation...

After reviewing a series of newspapers,

Wang Chao unexpectedly showed delight on his face.

"The evidence was delivered right to us!"

"It's like when you mention Cao Cao, and Cao Cao appears; no need for us to worry at all!"

After speaking,

Wang Chao couldn't help but lament that environmental pollution spreads like wind; as long as someone initiates, countless others follow to expose it instantly.

However...

The reports from Sunzhou are not like this.

"This was revealed by Luo Jun himself."

Xu Liang saw through the essence at a glance, and while scanning the evidence, his eyes were full of sarcasm.

Luo Jun... did Luo Jun disclose it himself!?

Wang Chao paused, immediately looking utterly perplexed.

"What do you mean?"

He was somewhat confused.

From the hotel start, on first contact with Liu Kun,

Wang Chao believed the other party didn't want the case exposed.

Especially after they stole the corpse and killed Jin Bo, he was more convinced of this idea.

Now Xu Liang suddenly told him the other party was self-disclosing, spreading unfavorable news about themselves... he really didn't know how to comprehend it.

"He's manipulating public opinion."

"Haha, although I'm unwilling to admit it, but..."

Xu Liang took a deep breath, his brow furrowed seriously.

"He is indeed a smart person!"

Luo Jun is manipulating public opinion.

Can you manipulate even public opinion against yourself?

Yes!

Just like how Zhang Fei gathered the industrial area's entrepreneurs together, yet Luo Jun managed to resolve it.

His method of resolution at the time was to incite workers owed wages to gather and create trouble.

These people were almost willing to kill Luo Jun, demanding payment from him.

The hostility was palpable, and the trouble clearly targeted Luo Jun.

But what was the result?

The result was that this highly targeted trouble didn't bring any harm to the other person; instead, it freed him from Zhang Fei.

And now...

"Only when public opinion is strong will the provincial task force exert greater pressure."

"And only when the pressure is high will Sunzhou accelerate the investigation and rectification of the environmental pollution case!"

Xu Liang explained.

Seemingly like a self-disclosing truck,

But in reality, extremely shrewd!

This move kills two birds with one stone, putting pressure on Sunzhou, Zhang Fei, and others, while also providing Xu Liang with favorable litigation conditions.

"Do you believe there will be a flood of pollution lawsuits, dragging the steel plant to court during this period?"

Xu Liang suddenly clicked his tongue and said.

"You mean..."

Wang Chao understood, immediately and shocked:

"He wants to swiftly conclude all trials!?"

Environmental pollution.

Apart from Sun Zhongmin, there are also Zhang Zhongmin, Li Zhongmin, Zhao Zhongmin.

These people, knowing they are affected, also want to file a lawsuit.

But once a lawsuit is filed, a lawyer needs ample time to investigate.

Case by case, it's not a problem to drag on for years.

But self-disclosure is different, not only allowing Xu Liang to quickly end the trial, but even these subsequent cases can also conclude trial!

"Damn, that's really damn smart!"

Wang Chao was startled at this point, his back chilled, instinctively taking a step back, cursing out loud.

When bad guys get clever...

They become extremely hard to deal with!

"What is it, calculating everywhere, scheming against each other, is their brain truly capable?"

He suddenly scrunched his facial features, speaking bitterly.

Honestly, if Xu Liang hadn't broken down the words for him to digest...

Wang Chao would have genuinely believed that these were clues uncovered by journalists and the public.

Even a slightly vague explanation wouldn't have shaken his belief, feeling only the smooth passage of knowledge over the brain's folds...

But after a deep analysis...

We all have one head and two eyes, why are these people so sharp?

"You'll get used to it; ordinary criminals are just evil, only the cunning can be called bad!" Xu Liang explained.

For Luo Jun and Liu Kun to reach this point,

it's impossible being dim-witted.

However, these scheming and calculations in front of Xu Liang....

"Haha, fools who don't even know how to use Luminol."

Xu Liang chuckled.

The opponent did this merely to cover up the steel material case.

But...

He just happens to hold the truth of the steel material case!!!

If Xu Liang had been the one handling it for Luo Jun at the start, he would've already used Luminol to uncover the information!

But there's no 'if'!

Reality is, Xu Liang holds the evidence that can doom the other party!!!

Thinking of this.

Xu Liang's eyes gradually narrowed.

Tomorrow...

Once tomorrow arrives, and the trial ends.

He can completely extricate himself from this case!!!

Thinking of this.

Xu Liang took a deep breath and led Wang Chao out of the institution.

"Come on, prepare for the trial!"

Wang Chao was pulled away.

However...

Just ten minutes after they left.

A team of police officers from the police station arrived, and the institution's director rushed to greet them.

"According to the informant, there is a radioactive corpse here?"

The leading officer spoke seriously.

The director nodded quickly.

Upon hearing.

The officer instantly felt incredibly troubled.

He knew about Sunzhou's pollution.

It was being broadcast everywhere, on TV, by reporters, the public, newspapers!

He had thought heavy metal overdose causing deaths was already the extreme of these conscience-less corporate bosses.

Who would've expected, now even...

Radioactivity has emerged!!!

"Alright, got it."

The middle-aged officer nodded, allowing the other to lead him to see the corpse.

Meanwhile, he was contemplating which company was responsible for the radioactive source.

Unfortunately.

He was just a police station officer; even if criminal police came, they wouldn't be useful.

The other party had no method for dealing with such invisible, complex items despite being so cumbersome to detect.

However, considering the companies now involved in environmental pollution...

He immediately had targets for investigation!

....

....

March 14.

At noon, twelve o'clock.

Cases related to environmental pollution had been pushed to the maximum.

The authorities started using emergency plans, initially setting the pollution scope to an area and started renovations therein.

Multiple media outlets were providing real-time tracking reports!

Simultaneously, Luo Jun and Liu Kun further disclosed their iron proof.

....

At three in the afternoon.

The rage of Sunzhou's citizens reached an apex; despite official backing and appeasement, there was still a need for an outlet.

During tracking reports, several reporters suddenly discovered a court summons against the steel plant.

Suddenly.

Recently, the first case based on environmental pollution, bringing Jinyang Steel Plant to court emerged in front of the public!

And among that, several journalists saw the plaintiff's lawyer, immediately tilting their heads in shock.

They unexpectedly saw a very familiar name!

How is it him again!?

...

At nine o'clock in the evening.

Xu Liang didn't stay up preparing but maintained his body in peak condition.

Until...

...

...

March 15.

Accompanied by the gathered attention from the whole of Sunzhou.

The first environmental pollution lawsuit against Jinyang Steel Plant...

"The trial begins!"
