Who would study psychology if they didn't have some kind of problem?

Chapter 544: End and Outcome (4K)

The defense attorney looked at Wang Zhenhai, who was so close to him, his hands and feet turned ice-cold, and for a moment he forgot to react.

He originally took on this case because of the generous compensation and high public attention; he never intended to help Wang Zhenhai get away with it, but under these circumstances, as long as he could reduce the sentence as much as possible, he could gain both wealth and a prestigious resume!
But I didn't expect...

This scene is something even the defendant's lawyer, who has been a lawyer for so many years, has never seen before!

The audience was dumbfounded. They thought Nan Zhuren's sarcastic "professional analysis" without a single swear word was already incredibly entertaining, but they never expected such a dramatic scene to unfold!
"Did you record it? Did you record it? Focus!" The reporter was the first to react, giving the photographer a sharp jolt as he looked on in a daze.

"Get a close-up, film the ringleader of the defendants... include the psychologist in the shot too! Quick!" The big news made the reporter's eyes red with excitement.

Indeed, they are very professional.

Even more professional than them were the court clerks sitting below the presiding judge.

The clerk's eyes gleamed, and his fingers danced almost in a blur.

The defendant recanted his confession in court!
The presiding judge had slightly more experience than the court clerk; at least his expression remained calm.

In theory, the presiding judge should now maintain order in the courtroom, but—

The presiding judge glanced at the operating camera, picked up the gavel and struck it a few times, not too hard, but not too hard, even less hard than when he had tried to maintain order when the audience stirred up earlier.

The sound it made wasn't loud.

The presiding judge asked sternly, "Wang Zhenhai, do you know what you're saying? Can you take responsibility for your words?"

"If you have anything to say, you will have your statement in a moment. Now, please sit down and do not disrupt court proceedings..."

When facing the camera, the presiding judge must be absolutely meticulous in his responses and leave no room for criticism.

but--

The judge's voice was authoritative and steady, and therefore not loud, so it did not wake Wang Zhenhai, who was already immersed in his own world.

The bailiffs, who had been itching to act, paused, as if realizing something; so they continued to maintain their posture of being ready to subdue the defendant at any moment.

Wang Zhenhai, on the other hand, fell into an unusual sense of satisfaction.

The incredulous gazes from all directions seemed to transform into tangible power, flowing into his body.

His originally hoarse voice became clear and melodious at this moment.

“That’s right, I lied to you. You’re all idiots, all idiots!” His voice grew louder and louder. “You were only able to arrest me because you were lucky! You were lucky!”

"In court, you will believe whatever I say!"

He pointed to the gang leaders in the dock: "What can they do? What technology do they know? I even collected and compiled their scripts!"

Wang Zhenhai slammed his shackled hand against his chest, his voice rising a notch: "I was the one who selected those veterans!"

He pointed at the victims sitting in the plaintiff's seat: "I've done my research, big data research, technology-based research! I knew long ago that after you guys were discharged from the military, you would probably squander your discharge pay in two or three years. How wasteful! You go out to eat, drink, play, and get scammed!"

"You're all stupid, low-IQ! Yet you people have so much money! Since your money will eventually go to someone else, why don't you give it to me?"

The victims in the dock turned pale.

This is not over yet.

Wang Zhenhai puffed out his chest and continued, "You call it 'mental torture' when you're talking to idiots? Yes, that's me too!"

"That's exactly how it should be. They're so stupid, they have no sense of vigilance at all, and they're so easily swindled out of their money. Shouldn't I teach them a lesson? If they don't feel the pain, they'll be swindled again next time!"

"Besides—I'm happy! These fools, why should they blame others for their own stupidity? They're like clowns in a circus or animals in a zoo! Isn't it their social responsibility to make intelligent people happy and civilized people joyful?!"

"And another thing—I was there for every single scam! I devised the plans, I executed them, I directed them!"

He pointed again to the core members of the gang beside him: "What do they know? They can't do anything! Many times when the other side gets suspicious, I have to personally type on the keyboard and make the calls!"

"They only know how to do the simplest things, and they're ridiculously stupid! Without me, they can't do anything! They're nothing!"

"If it weren't for me..."

The defense attorney finally realized what was happening.

The situation is completely out of control; we can't let this person continue talking.

He suddenly jumped up and hugged Wang Zhenhai tightly, covering Wang Zhenhai's mouth with his hand: "Your Honor, we request a recess!"

The defense attorney glared fiercely at Nan Zhuren, his mind racing. He needed time to reassure Wang Zhenhai, and a suitable reason was needed to adjourn the court.

There was no time for the defense attorney to think things through. He instinctively said, "The verbal abuse from the other side has caused my client to have an emotional breakdown! His current statements are neither voluntary nor truthful! I request that my client undergo a psychiatric evaluation..."

The defense attorney's reaction was actually correct.

This is an attempt to genuinely lead Wang Zhenhai down the path of mental illness. If the diagnosis is successful, this self-disclosure will become a true farce, a farce with no real-world impact.

How can the words of a mentally ill person be taken seriously?
But the defendant's lawyer still doesn't understand why Wang Zhenhai suddenly became like this.

Wang Zhenhai suddenly unleashed tremendous strength, and in the face of the defendant's lawyer's embrace, he bit the lawyer's arm like a thug in a fight.

"what!!"

Along with the screams came Wang Zhenhai's furious roar: "Do you even think I'm crazy?!"

Wang Zhenhai suddenly laughed eerily, as if he had just realized something: "Right...right! I still have money outside, I lied to you about that too!"

The judge's eyes suddenly narrowed.

This is different from the technical guidance and responsibility sharing I just mentioned.

Wang Zhenhai's voice grew louder and louder: "I still have money outside, I still have accounts! You didn't expect that, did you? You believe whatever I say! I threw out a small bait during the trial, and you fell for it. Are you still thinking of giving me a lenient sentence?!"

Wang Zhenhai suddenly broke free from the defendant's lawyer and abruptly gestured to the other gang members around him: "Of course I still have money, otherwise how could I dump the burden on these guys? Otherwise how could I make them admit that they collected the information, and make them admit that they have technical skills?"

The defendants stared at Wang Zhenhai, who was standing inches away, their hands and feet turning ice-cold: "He's gone mad, he's gone mad..."

One of the defendants even started swearing: "Wang Zhenhai, are you crazy!"

Some people began to look around helplessly, seemingly wanting to beg the law enforcement officers not to believe the madman's words.

Someone roared and lunged at Wang Zhenhai!
Wang Zhenhai was still laughing: "And this lawyer, this useless lawyer! He knows it too, he knows it too! If I didn't have money, how could I hire him? How could I get him to work so diligently for me? In the end, he can't do anything. Bah!"

His laughter quickly broke the silence at its highest point: "I'm skilled, I'm the leader, I'm the organizer, I fooled you all! You were lucky to catch me! If it weren't for these guys being so stupid, if it weren't for..."

His laughter abruptly ceased as the other defendants punched and kicked him, quickly followed by screams, wails, and sobs. It's unclear whether his final sobs were due to the blows or to his own ordeal.

The defense lawyer is now not only cold in the hands and feet, but also seems to have no warmth in his brain, chest, or entire torso.

He couldn't think anymore.

His eyes turned red, and with a roar, he joined the battle.

The current courtroom order was such that intervention was no longer an option. Almost all the bailiffs on site worked together, and it took a tremendous amount of effort to subdue the defendants and their lawyers.

That's enough; there's no need for Wang Zhenhai to reveal anything more.

The plaintiffs stared wide-eyed, speechless for a long time. The victims felt deeply humiliated by Wang Zhenhai's public display of power, but perhaps this wasn't such a bad thing after all?
The prosecutor beside them stood up casually and said, "Your Honor, the defendant Wang Zhenhai has confessed to the key facts of the crime charged in court. Please record this in the courtbook and use it as an important basis for conviction and sentencing."

For procedural reasons, it would be better to add this sentence.

This colleague from the procuratorate realized he would have to work overtime with the police when he got back; the hidden accounts... who knows how much new evidence is waiting to be collected.

Realizing what was happening, Attorney Zhan forcibly restrained himself from laughing out loud.

He looked at Nan Zhuren not far away with genuine admiration: "He really got it out of him..."

……

As the situation was brought under control, everyone's attention gradually shifted away from the defendant's seat.

As if by some strange twist of fate, the energy was concentrated on Nan Zhuren.

The young counselor maintained the same expression and posture as when he was narrating, as if he were oblivious to everything that had just happened, as if the factors that caused it all had nothing to do with him.

The presiding judge tentatively asked, "Nan Zhuren, do you have anything to add?"

Nan Zhuren gently shook his head: "My story is over."

A bailiff stepped forward and opened the barrier between the witness stand and the audience stand.

The bailiffs maintained a certain distance from Nan Zhuren throughout. It was a kind of awe, as if they were facing a towering mountain that needed to be looked up to.

Behind Nan Zhuren, the presiding judge slammed down his gavel: "Court is now adjourned!"

——Boom!

As Nan Zhuren slowly left her seat, the solemn presiding judge stood behind her, the two forming a straight line. However, in the background, whether it was the victim, the defense lawyer, the court clerk, the bailiff, or anyone else, their eyes were not on the presiding judge at the highest point, but were firmly fixed on Nan Zhuren.

It's as if he's the center of the world right now.

"Big news..." the reporter exclaimed softly, as if asking a question or muttering to himself, "You recorded it all, didn't you?"

She repeatedly confirmed it.

The cameraman, having somehow refocused, was momentarily captivated by the image presented on the camera.

"Of course I took pictures...it's too artistic..."
-
the weather is nice today.

The company's air conditioner has been repaired and is faithfully providing cool air during the summer.

The boss, in a great mood, treated everyone to coffee for several days in a row. Good things come in pairs, making all the employees very happy.

Even better, there wasn't much work to do today. So there were very few consultants in the office, only assistants who needed to be there in small groups, gossiping.

They glanced at the seated figure not far away with rather complicated expressions, while scrolling through their phone screens in amazement, looking at the news.

After thinking for a moment, the assistant surnamed Huang waved to Mo Kai and said, "Brother Kai."

Before anyone knew it, Mo Kai's title had been upgraded.

The assistant, surnamed Huang, showed Mo Kai a news article on his phone, which featured the final courtroom photo that resembled a movie poster: "Did your teacher, Mr. Nan, discuss this matter with you? What exactly happened?"

Compared to his assistant Huang's curiosity, Mo Kai was now filled with frustration.

"I don't know either, and I'm too afraid to ask my senior brother..."

"Don't talk nonsense... Are you his assistant or his junior? Don't you know about things within his job scope?"

“But I didn’t go that day!” Mo Kai said with a mournful face. “I caused the defendant to have a mental breakdown in court, to recant his testimony, to get the defendants fighting each other, and even got the opposing lawyer arrested… Such a big scene, and I didn’t go that day…”

Every time Mo Kai uttered a keyword, his assistants became increasingly eager.

"Why don't you go and ask now?"

Mo Kai quickly shook his head, showing he knew what was important at this moment: "My senior brother comes to the company for work, and he has consultations later. We can't bother him with gossip now..."

"That's...wait a minute, why does Teacher Nan seem to be smiling so happily? Is he like this when he's working?"

Not far away, Nan Zhuren was looking at his phone.

Fingers clattered across the virtual keyboard.

At this point, a week has passed since the trial began.

Within certain circles, the impact of this case has only intensified.

On my phone, the chat window displaying the note "[Summer]" was flashing.

[Nan Zhuren: Because the scene was too chaotic, the presiding judge adjourned the court immediately. Afterwards, a period of re-examination of evidence took a long time, and the court only resumed yesterday to announce the verdict.]

[Summer: Yeah, I saw the report online, Teacher Nan is so handsome!]

[Summer: However, the verdict doesn't seem to be out yet; it's not on the official website either.]

[Nan Zhuren: I know, I'll just tell you directly.]

As a participant in the case, the little girl naturally paid close attention to the events.

As for the outcome, Nan Zhuren felt it was necessary to let the little girl who had put in so much effort know.

[Nan Zhuren: The evidence he revealed has been verified, and Nan Zhihao has also filed a private prosecution that could result in multiple charges.]

[Nan Zhuren: The final sentence was life imprisonment and confiscation of all personal property.]
