Chapter 338 The Final Judgment
The week passed quickly. On the weekend, Yang Ping went to Liquan Hospital for more than ten operations.
On Monday, Yang Ping made an appointment with Director Tian to go to the court to attend Director Zhu's court session. Just as they left, Boss Cheng called again.
There was a boss who was climbing Mount Everest in Tibet. Before he climbed, he fell at the foot of the mountain and broke his knee joint. He had to be sent to Liquan Hospital for treatment.
This boss usually likes mountain climbing. Every time he climbs Mount Everest, he takes a lot of photos to establish the image of an adventurous man. He usually has a strong logistics team to help him get up the mountain.
People tend to have illusions after playing too much. This time the boss felt that he could do it and insisted on climbing up by himself. He gathered a few bosses who had the same hobby and wanted to play it for real.
As a result, just as he was about to set off, the boss tripped over a rock at the foot of the mountain and fell. His left knee joint was severely swollen. A friend recommended him to Liquan Hospital in G City, which had a green channel and made an appointment with Luo Jin. expert.
To get here from Tibet, even if you charter a flight, it would be impossible to arrive in the morning. Yang Ping and Director Tian hurried to the court.
When the two arrived, many people were already sitting in the auditorium, and Director Zhu and Wang Ge were already in place.
On the plaintiff's bench to the left of the judge's bench were Director Zhu and his attorney. Director Zhu was calm and calm, as if he was waiting for a company meeting to be held.
In the dock on the right, Wang Ge was curled up in a chair, with a wheelchair beside him. The attorney kept flipping through documents. This was a temporary replacement of attorneys. The previous attorney refused to represent Wang Ge in court, so Wang Ge had to I found a lawyer temporarily.
Wang Ge's mental state was very poor, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was pitted and covered with pimples of different sizes, his breathing was slow and rapid, and his whole body exuded a smell of gunpowder, as if he would lose control at any time and fly into a rage.
This case dragged on for five years from the first instance to the second instance, and the court conducted more than a dozen investigations.
During many court sessions, Wang Ge questioned Zhu Cheng's surgical appraisal by the Nandu Provincial Department of Health expert group, believing that his peers were covering up the surgery, and public opinion followed this trend.
The court invited two expert groups from other provinces to conduct secondary appraisals of the surgery. The two expert groups independently conducted appraisals. The final results were consistent. The entire diagnosis and treatment process was normal and there was no violation of medical standards.
Zhu Cheng's surgery was a conventional colostomy, which is commonly used in cases of abdominal intestinal injury. Depending on the patient's condition, this surgery is necessary. There is no such thing as a hole in the abdomen and the outflow of feces after a surgical error.
Wang Ge refused to admit that he had fabricated news. The court conducted an investigation into the details of the entire news, screened every detail one by one, and finally determined that this was a complete fake news.
The clerk was ready. The presiding judge and the two judges came in wearing robes. After taking their seats, they did not speak and sat quietly on the judge's bench. The presiding judge picked up his gavel and knocked on the table.
With the sound of the gavel hitting the table, the entire court fell silent, and the court officially opened. This was the last court session, and the verdict of the second instance was announced.
The judge's expression was serious, and he opened the judgment and began to read out: "--The defendant, as a journalist who has been working for many years, should have a full and clear understanding of the professional ethics of journalists and the working principles of news reporting. However, the defendant did not perform the surgery on the plaintiff involved in the case. When making relevant reports, the plaintiff failed to adhere to the principles of objective and fair news and failed to truthfully reflect the truth. Afterwards, the plaintiff contacted the defendant many times to warn him to correct himself and apologize, and to terminate the infringement on the plaintiff's reputation. Not only did the defendant fail to correct it, but he also violated it many times. The supplementary reporting of the facts constitutes a serious infringement on the plaintiff’s reputation—”
The judgment has more than 50 pages and more than 30,000 words. Every word is the hard work of the court staff, and every detail can withstand the test of history. This judgment will be recorded in the annals of law.
The presiding judge continued to read the fifty-page judgment in a clear and loud voice. The final verdict was: Defendant Wang Ge had violated plaintiff Zhu Cheng's reputation. He apologized to Zhu Cheng in court and published it in the newspaper and compensated RMB 30,000 for reputational damage. .
After five years, justice and fairness finally came. When Director Zhu heard the final verdict, he was in a surging mood and had mixed feelings.
Over the past few years - it’s unbearable to look back!
He has always been known as an unscrupulous quack doctor and a man who cares little about human life. He had to leave his beloved job. More than ten years of hard work were in vain and everything started from scratch.
Wang Ge leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and looked very haggard. The sound of the judge's gavel sounded, reminding the defendant to apologize in court, publish an apology in the newspaper, and make financial compensation within the specified time.
But Wang Ge pretended not to hear and did not respond. No one can wake up a person who is pretending to sleep.
Wang Ge knew that this verdict was the final verdict and that the outcome of the lawsuit with Zhu Cheng had been decided. His messy ways were no longer useful, so he began to act rogue. He did not oppose the verdict, nor roared at the court. He pretended to be deaf and dumb. What could he do?
"Defendant——" the judge reminded again.
"My client is currently in poor physical condition and unable to express himself verbally." Wang Ge's attorney immediately explained to the judge.
"According to the "Answers to Several Issues Concerning the Trial of Reputation Rights Cases" issued by the Supreme People's Court on August 7, 1993, if the infringer refuses to execute the effective judgment and does not restore the reputation of the other party and eliminate the impact, the People's Court may resort to assessment, prosecution, The main content of the judgment and relevant circumstances will be made public by publishing it in newspapers, and the expenses will be borne by the person subject to execution!" The judge's tone was solemn.
"Exit the court!" As the gavel sounded again, the three judges and the clerk stood up together and filed out of the court.
The five-year lawsuit ended with Zhu Cheng's victory. The law upheld justice and fairness for Zhu Cheng, but the price Zhu Cheng had paid cannot be recovered.
Everyone left the court one after another. Director Tian and Yang Ping accompanied Director Zhu. Director Zhu's mood was very stable. Wang Ge was also pushed out in a wheelchair.
The person who pushed him was a young man in his twenties, who looked very similar to Wang Ge. Perhaps he was his younger brother, cousin, or relative. Director Zhu and Wang Ge met on the road at the entrance of the court. With a distance of three meters, Director Zhu stopped and Wang Ge also stopped his wheelchair. Director Zhu smiled at him and strode over.
One hand grabbed the handle on the back of Wang Ge's wheelchair. Wang Ge subconsciously avoided it: "What do you want to do? This is the entrance of the court."
"Don't be nervous, Reporter Wang. I just want to chat with you and thank you in person." Director Zhu pushed aside the young man who was helping Wang Ge push the wheelchair.
Wang Ge said to the young man: "You go over there and wait, I'll be fine."
Director Zhu held the handle of the wheelchair with both hands and pushed Wang Ge forward. He walked a full fifty meters and stopped in a secluded place.
"Really, I have always wanted to thank you. You may also know that I am now the vice president of a company with an annual salary of five million. I have more than one month of paid leave every year. I work five days a week and only need six hours a day. When I was young, I and my family enjoyed high medical insurance, and at least two fifteen-day publicly funded trips a year. If it weren’t for you, I would never have imagined that I would have such a life. Do you think I should be grateful to you?"
Wang Ge turned to look at Director Zhu. Director Zhu immediately turned his wheelchair around so that the two of them could talk face to face: "Don't look at me with such eyes. This is really grateful, really! It was you who sent me step by step. In your current position, you should be my great benefactor. Over there, did you see that Audi A8 is here to pick me up. For today's court session, my secretary and driver have been guarding the door. If it weren't for your Help, I won’t be here today.”
"You——"
Wang Ge's facial muscles twitched and twisted together, showing a terrifying twist. He looked extremely ferocious. He wanted to say something, but not a single word came out.
"I really want to know how you can have such a dark heart and be able to write such a report. And I have found you many times and warned you that this is false and has violated my reputation. I warned you that you must correct it. You are pretending Zuo didn’t hear anything. In order to be famous, you will do anything. In order to be famous, you will do anything, destroy others, and ignore other people’s pain and life and death? Is this your philosophy of life? "
"That's enough, so what, look at you like this, you haven't suffered much since you were a child, right? Have you ever studied while doing farm work? Have you ever slept four hours a day in order to get into college? Have you? Have you ever been ridiculed because you couldn't afford a good dress in college? Have you ever watched the woman you love fall into the arms of someone else? I worked hard and finally got into college and established myself in a big city after graduation. , But what? It’s not the same. Even the woman I love looks down on me. I just want to be famous. I just want to prove that I am no worse than anyone else. Is it wrong that I am not qualified to be famous? "Wang Ge was very excited and asked several times. Standing up from the wheelchair, unable to stand up due to paralysis.
Yang Ping, Director Tian, Director Zhu's secretary and driver, as well as Wang Ge's entourage, all ran towards this direction.
"Brother, what's wrong?" It turned out that his companion was really his younger brother.
"I'm fine, don't come over." Wang Ge yelled.
Director Zhu waved his hand and signaled Director Tian and Yang Ping not to come over as they wanted to have a chat.
Director Zhu was not as excited as Wang Ge. He was very calm: "I was also born in poverty, even worse than you. I have always been grateful. I am grateful for the college entrance examination, which gave me the opportunity to realize my dream. I am grateful for the student loan and help. I am grateful to my teachers, classmates, relatives and friends for their help all the way. What happened to being born in poverty? Many pillars of the industry were born in poverty. They have never been as extreme as you. They worked hard on their own and climbed to the top of their careers step by step. But you, My eyes are full of debts. The whole world owes you. Look at your appearance. Your whole body is full of hostility."
Wang Ge stopped talking and kept breathing heavily.
Director Zhu's voice also became softer: "I want to tell you one more thing. When you were in a car accident on Shipo, who donated blood to you and saved your life?"
"I don't care who he is, donating blood is a citizen's duty and does not deserve gratitude." Wang Ge was extremely indifferent.
"Wrong, donating blood is a voluntary act, not a civil obligation. Let me tell you, I donated blood to you. If I didn't donate blood, you might have died." Director Zhu corrected Wang Ge.
Wang Ge was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Director Zhu. After meeting Director Zhu's eyes, he immediately avoided it: "You are joking, you want me to thank you for saying this? Do you want me to apologize to you? It's impossible without you donating blood. , I can still survive, because I am lucky." Wang Ge said in a mocking tone.
Director Zhu shook his head: "No, I never thought about asking you to be grateful to me. Do you know why I saved you?"
"Hypocritical--" Wang Ge said in a contemptuous tone.
"Actually, I hesitated at that time whether to save you or not. But then I thought about it. I should save you. No matter what angle, I should save you. If you can repent, turn over a new leaf, and do something meaningful to society, I should Save you; if you are stubborn and continue to do things that are harmful to nature and justice, you should be saved and you should be allowed to live and accept the punishment step by step! ”
"You? -" Wang Ge pointed at Director Zhu.
"Okay, don't be so excited all the time. It's like the whole society owes you. Go back and have a good rest. The days are still long. Next, your press card will be revoked and your job will be lost. Then, you Like me, you will soon face the problem of changing careers and finding a job, so think of a way out for yourself.”
"One last word for you, don't bully honest people - bye!"
Director Zhu walked away quickly, with a confident and calm pace. He shook hands with Yang Ping, Director Tian and everyone and said goodbye, thanking everyone for their help.
The Audi A8 parked not far away. The assistant opened the door and stood by. Director Zhu got into the car and made a goodbye gesture to Wang Ge from a distance.
Wang Ge was sitting in a wheelchair, slapping the armrests hard with both hands. His whole body kept twisting because of his rage. The wheelchair was overturned and fell to the ground, and the person rolled off the wheelchair.
His brother ran over, picked him up, and held him in his arms.
