The recruitment process was actually quite simple, mainly to prevent fake deaf-mutes from infiltrating the workshop. It basically involved observing the physical condition of the applicants and whether they could read and write. After a brief interview and test, Yang Chen signed a six-month employment contract with six qualified deaf-mutes in less than half an hour.
Those who thought that Tongtai Industrial Co., Ltd. was playing a game of "buying a horse's bones with a thousand pieces of gold" and were attracted by the high salary, believing they were very capable, were all rejected, and their resumes were not even collected.
The recruitment, which caused a small stir, ended amidst a chorus of curses. However, Yang Chen ignored the noise outside the door from start to finish. After successfully recruiting six people, he quietly left the company through the back door.
Over the next two days, Yang Chen handled a few minor matters and called Yu Ming, the third elder of Wufeng Temple, to Jinzhou to take charge of production in the workshop for a period of time, under the pretense of maximizing resource utilization!
Additionally, on the afternoon when Yu Ming arrived in Jinzhou, Wufeng Temple, which was thriving, opened its gates for the first time. Under the leadership of Yu Qing, it held a disciple recruitment event locally, admitting over twenty new disciples who met the criteria.
Before long, it was the day of the second trial for his father, Yang Xiuyuan.
Early in the morning, Yang Chen drove his mother, Jin Meifeng, to the entrance of the Jinzhou Intermediate People's Court.
Due to the sensitivity of the case and the recent significant actions of Hengyang Group, when Yang Chen and Jin Meifeng arrived at the court, there were already a large number of media reporters with cameras and microphones standing on the steps of the court.
As soon as Yang Chen and Jin Meifeng got out of the car, they were immediately surrounded by the media reporters. The reporter from the Jinzhou TV noon news program was the most excited, pushing to the front and loudly asking, "Hello, Ms. Jin, I am a reporter from Jinzhou TV... What are your thoughts on the second trial of your husband, Yang Xiuyuan?"
Another reporter asked, "Hello, Ms. Jin, I am a reporter from the Jinzhou Evening News... I heard that there has been a breakthrough in the investigation of your husband Yang Xiuyuan's case, and he may be acquitted today... How do you feel about this?"
Yet another reporter asked, "Ms. Jin, Ms. Jin... Can you reveal any details about the investigation of the case evidence?"
Faced with the reporters' barrage of questions, Yang Chen instinctively stepped in front of his mother, Jin Meifeng, and escorted her to the courtroom. Throughout the process, Jin Meifeng only said one thing...
"Thank you all for your concern. My husband was wrongly accused, and we are here today to clear his name!"
Finally, they managed to climb the steps, and Yang Chen saw a familiar figure approaching...
"What are you doing here?" Zhang Bingyu, dressed in a professional suit, walked over with a serious expression. Yang Chen was taken aback and asked, "When did you get here?"
"This case is fully handled by our Qingchen Detective Agency, so of course I am here," Zhang Bingyu smiled and said matter-of-factly, "Let's go in quickly, the trial is about to start."
Only then did Yang Chen realize that Zhang Bingyu, in addition to being the head of Qingchen Detective Agency, was also a legitimate lawyer!
The courtroom was brightly lit, and a large number of people of various kinds were seated.
Yang Chen, who had never been to a courtroom before, curiously scanned the room. But before he could take it all in, several hammer strikes sounded from the front of the courtroom, "Silence!"
Everyone in the audience fell silent, and the buzzing noise instantly subsided.
Subsequently, Yang Xiuyuan, who had not been seen for several months, was escorted by several bailiffs to the defendant's stand.
Seeing her husband, who had become noticeably thinner over the past few months, Jin Meifeng's emotions were visibly agitated. Yang Chen also looked at his father with a keen eye, watching this man, who was less than 1.7 meters tall but had a resolute face and steady gait, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Dad... Don't worry, I will definitely bring you home today!"
Yang Chen controlled his emotions and silently said to himself.
At this moment, a female judge in her thirties stood up with a serious expression and first read out the relevant information of the parties involved in the first-instance judgment, then read out the content of the first-instance judgment.
"The prosecution is the Xibu District People's Procuratorate of Jinzhou City, Nanhu Province. The defendant is Yang Xiuyuan, male, born on April 23, 1962, in Tiejumu Town, Chenyang County, Jinzhou City, Nanhu Province. He has a college education and was the chairman of Hengyang Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd., Nanhu Province, Jinzhou City. He currently resides at No. 49 Kangming Road, Xibu District, Jinzhou City, Nanhu Province."
"He was released on bail by the Xibu District Public Security Bureau on April 19, 2009. His defense attorney is Chen Youzhi, a lawyer from Jinzhou Kangda Law Firm... The Xibu District People's Procuratorate charged the defendant Yang Xiuyuan with the crime of hiring a murderer and filed a public prosecution with the Xibu District People's Court of Jinzhou City on May 2, 2009..."
"According to the investigation, at around 9:36 PM on June 7, 1993, the victim, Huang Yifeng, died after being stabbed seven times by the perpetrator, Liu Meng. The defendant Yang Xiuyuan was the mastermind behind Liu Meng's crime. The following evidence, submitted by the public security authorities and verified, proves the above facts..."
"First, the defendant Yang Xiuyuan had multiple phone contacts with the perpetrator Liu Meng before the incident. Second, the personal identification by the perpetrator Liu Meng. Third, the source of the 800,000 yuan payment for the hired murderer provided by the defendant Yang Xiuyuan. Fourth..."
The judge read out the entire first-instance judgment without missing a single word.
Yang Chen's mind was not on the trial but rather on watching Zhang Bingyu, who was speaking confidently in the courtroom. A faint smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
A dark aura seemed to hover over Zhang Bingyu's head. This girl seemed to have encountered some trouble in the past few days?
Since the real culprit, Chen Youming, had been caught and confessed to all the crimes, today's second trial was just a formality.
The trial lasted about forty minutes, and all the procedures were completed. Zhang Bingyu returned to her seat and took a few sips of mineral water.
Shortly after, the presiding judge stood up and announced the second-instance judgment, declaring Yang Xiuyuan not guilty.
In an instant, the reporters with their cameras and microphones behind them frantically pressed their shutters, capturing the moment when Jin Meifeng ran to Yang Xiuyuan. The dramatic turn of events in the case left everyone in awe.
Yang Chen also stood up and ran to his father, hugging his parents to celebrate.
Jin Meifeng wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "It's finally over... It's so good!"
Yang Chen smiled and said, "Dad, welcome home!"
Yang Xiuyuan, with his shaved head, habitually touched Yang Chen's head and laughed loudly...
"Let's go home!" (To be continued.)
