High schools across the entire city united in a joint petition, all in support of Free Love and Xu Lie, directly igniting a social hotspot. The explosion of the Xu Lie case captured the attention of society, and with Ancheng High School joining in, how could the media resist chasing this trending topic?
One wave after another of publicity spread, triggering a resonance among all those yearning for Free Love. Initially, the joint petition from all high schools in Ancheng wasn’t a significant event; it was merely a response to the Marriage Law. However, after garnering widespread sympathy, the situation took a sudden turn. High schools and universities everywhere eagerly joined in on the petition.
The magnitude of this movement and its far-reaching impact completely exceeded everyone’s expectations! Even a sociology professor stepped forward to voice his opinion, stating that people had been shackled by Gene Matching for far too long. The extreme reaction was simply a natural consequence of such repression.
This was the summary of episodes nine and ten. Xu Lie, unable to watch the episodes himself, could only grasp the storyline's development through viewers’ Danmaku. For him, this was quite an unexpected delight.
Xu Lie had not anticipated that Lu Youyou attending three different schools would create such a massive stir. Was it any wonder that he was part of the Drama Circle? Or should it be said that the Not Allowed to Fall in Love Freely and Marriage Law were despised by the youth?
As he pondered these thoughts, Xu Lie found himself brought before the defendant's seat by the Special Investigation Team. He glanced around at four live broadcast cameras; all those following this case were tuning in to witness the trial unfold.
The back row was filled with media representatives and members of the public, creating a crowded atmosphere that forced other members of the Special Investigation Team to stand at the edges.
Bang. Shen Zhang tapped his small gavel, and soon the entire room fell into a serious silence: "The court is now in session."
He went through standard procedures, such as reading out the names of the members of the Deliberation Panel, identifying both parties involved in the case, and allowing for any requests for recusal. After completing these formalities, Shen Zhang signaled for Zhang Yutao to speak.
Zhang Yutao immediately presented a list of evidence against Xu Lie, counting off each charge. Once Shen Zhang confirmed everything was accurate, he indicated that Xu Lie could begin his defense.
Xu Lie had not hired a lawyer; as he had stated before, to achieve high Payment, he needed to perform well in front of the cameras and garner favorable evaluations from viewers. Now that they were at the final stage of this ordeal, he certainly wouldn’t let anyone else steal his spotlight: "I admit to all charges."
Across from him, Zhang Yutao frowned slightly. Did Xu Lie really think there would be some dramatic turn during this trial? Was it really going to end like this?
In the back, Lu Youyou felt her heart tighten. The media whispered among themselves, and viewers in the livestream were equally puzzled—why was Xu Lie so calm about admitting everything?
However, Xu Lie seemed to have returned to a familiar classroom, eagerly raising his hand. "I would like to ask, after I admit to the charges, what will happen to Xing Fa?"
Shen Zhang's brows furrowed slightly at the peculiar question. "In the Consolidated Sentences, a life imprisonment sentence will be handed down. In the Population Crisis Realm, the Death Penalty is not applicable; typically, offenders are sentenced to Reform Through Labor."
Reform Through Labor here is not as simple as operating a sewing machine. Offenders are often sent to work in machinery for mining or on offshore drilling platforms. They toil alone under constant surveillance, enduring solitude, with their days filled only with work until death or the end of their sentence.
"What if I make significant contributions during my sentence? Is there a possibility for a reduced sentence?" Xu Lie finally revealed his last item from his company's point redemption system.
Previously, he had mentioned that aside from Blasting Skills and Writing Background, he had also purchased a Mini Mecha, Firearm Currency, and Test Tube Baby Knowledge.
