Chapter 2993 A false alarm(1/2)
Chapter 2789 A false alarm
The U.S. high-class circles have always been xenophobic, and their attitude towards Chinese people is even more infuriating because they are not even as good as black people.
As for why this is the case? Many things are actually difficult to explain clearly. Xenophobia is a common feature, such as the ancestors' "If they are not of my race, their hearts will be different."
Yang Geyong is currently facing such a dilemma. Although the whole thing seems to be an illegal intruder.
In the United States, if you break in illegally, the owner can defend himself with a gun. Remember, it is self-defense rather than expelling, that is, you can shoot you directly.
But the premise is that the house was bought by Yang Geyong, and the man is Linda's boyfriend, not her husband. This way things are not that simple
If you want to save Yang Geyong, you can only make a fuss about this. Of course, the difficulty is definitely very high. After all, in theory, Yang Geyong has nothing to do with Linda.
But no matter how difficult it is, things have to be done. Ye Yuze's current trump card is his son Ye Feng's brother company. It is one of the few top companies in the United States and is very influential.
Furthermore, Lao Si has now become a very influential senator in the Senate and is preparing to run for the Speaker for the next term.
With these backings, Ye Yuze knew the difficulty of this incident, but Yang Geyong was his brother, and he could not sit idly by any means.
He quickly gathered the most capable team around him, including public relations experts, legal counsel and senior management of his brother companies, to discuss solutions.
The atmosphere in the conference room was solemn, and everyone sat around the huge conference table, with detailed information about the Yang Geyong case in front of them.
Ye Yuze took the lead in breaking the silence, his eyes firm and serious:
"Everyone, Yang Geyong is in deep trouble now, and we must do everything we can to save him."
"At present, we have two cards: Ye Feng's brothers' company and the influence of the fourth brother in the Senate. Everyone can brainstorm and see how to play."
Public relations expert Lynn pushed the glasses on his nose and spoke first:
"If we start from the perspective of public opinion, we can use Facebook and brother News Group to restore the truth of the incident to the public first."
"Also, Yang Geyong is the buyer of the house. He didn't know in advance that Linda already had a boyfriend."
"And the other party's gun is a dangerous behavior in itself. It is to guide the public to think about the danger in that dangerous situation, Yang Geyong's counterattack was out of self-defense instinct."
"But American society's view of such cases is often affected by a variety of factors, especially when it comes to race and class issues. We must be careful to avoid causing greater annoyance."
Legal counsel Jack continued:
"From a legal perspective, although Yang Geyong fights against the other side, under the US legal system, the definition of self-defense is very complicated."
"We need to collect enough evidence to prove that Yang Geyong was indeed in an emergency when his life was threatened."
"For example, trace evidence at the scene, possible eyewitnesses, and past entanglements between Linda and her ex-boyfriend, these may become key factors that affect the direction of the case."
Mark, the senior executive of the brothers, also nodded in agreement:
"Our company has a certain influence in the American business community. We can join forces with some friendly business partners to put pressure on the judicial department and the government to express our expectations for a fair trial."
"But this requires good control and we cannot make the outside world feel that we are making improper intervention."
Ye Yuze listened carefully to everyone's speech and quickly formed a preliminary response plan in his heart. He said:
"Linn, you immediately organize a team to publish carefully planned reports on Facebook and Brothers News Corp to guide the direction of public opinion, but you must pay attention to the wording and rhythm and not be too hasty."
Jack, you are responsible for leading the lawyer team to investigate the details of the case, collecting all favorable evidence, and maintaining close communication with the judiciary to understand their investigation progress and concerns.”
"Mark, you contact our business partners and form a coalition that supports fair trials, but remember that all actions must be carried out within a legal and compliant framework."
Everyone took the order and left, and a tense crisis, public relations and difficult game began.
Ye Feng looked at his father with admiration. The old man has always been lazy and has never even taken care of his own business.
But once the people around him have something to do, he is like a general who is planning and immediately responds most effectively.
The public relations team led by Lynn took action quickly. They carefully wrote a series of reports, describing the legal process of Yang Geyong's house purchase and the tense scene at the time of the incident.
Through the platforms of Facebook and Brother News Corp, these reports spread quickly and attracted widespread attention from all walks of life.
Some people began to express sympathy for Yang Geyong's experience and questioned whether the police's characterization of the case was fair.
Although there is conflict between law and morality, the jury system has this benefit. Although the statement is unruly, how can it be unruly?
Legally speaking, Yang Geyong is a criminal, and the facts are conclusive. He trespassed into a house and attacked the owner with a gun, causing the owner to die.
But from a moral perspective, it is nothing wrong for him to fall in love with Linda. After falling in love with her, he bought her a house, and then left her voluntarily after breaking up.
The focus of the conflict now is that Yang Geyong came back to try to save the relationship. He didn't know that Linda would have a new boyfriend so soon.
Suddenly a man took a gun out of the house, and he naturally couldn't figure out what was going on. He thought Linda and Alisa were killed, so he fought back.
If this assumption is valid, Yang Geyong's charge will definitely not exist. How to define the responsibility between him and that person needs to be studied carefully.
However, their actions also triggered a counterattack from the opponent's camp.
Linda's boyfriend's family background cannot be underestimated. They also hired a strong public relations team to try to discredit Yang Geyong, portraying him as a violent intruder, claiming that his feelings for Linda have always been an entanglement and threat.
For a time, smoke filled the public opinion field, and both sides held their own opinions, and the people were divided into two factions and argued endlessly.
At the same time, the lawyer team led by Jack also encountered many difficulties.
The police investigation into the case seems to have been disturbed by some force, with slow progress and unclear direction.
The key witnesses either disappeared or refused to testify, and some traces of evidence at the scene also seemed to have been deliberately destroyed.
Jack knew very well that there must be someone behind this in secret trying to hinder them from fighting for a fair trial for Yang Geyong.
But with Ye Yuze here, Jack would never give up. He and his team members were running around looking for clues hidden behind the scenes.
They discovered some unknown secrets by investigating Linda's boyfriend's social circle.
It turned out that this man was a famous playboy in the local area. He often used his wealth and status to harass women. He even had several criminal records of violent threatening others, but they were all suppressed by the family's forces.
Jack was ashamed of his treasure. He quickly sorted out the information into evidence, submitted it to the judicial department, and made appropriate exposure through the media.
This move once again caused an uproar in public opinion. The public was shocked and angry at Linda's ex-boyfriend's true face, and their sympathy for Yang Geyong further increased.
In the business field, Mark successfully joined forces with a group of influential business partners to establish an organization called the "Fair Trial Alliance".
The organization issued a public statement calling on the judicial department to handle the Yang Geyong case fairly and transparently, emphasizing that everyone is equal before the law and should not be disturbed by any external forces.
The establishment of the alliance has attracted the attention of government departments, and some lawmakers have also begun to express concern about the case, requiring the judicial department to speed up the investigation and give the public a reasonable explanation.
However, the other party did not intend to give in easily. They used their political relationships to try to suppress the fair trial alliance.
Some alliance members began to be investigated and troubled by government departments, and business activities were also affected to a certain extent.
Mark faces tremendous pressure, but he still stands firmly on Ye Yuze's side and works with other members to deal with these challenges.
In this fierce game, the fourth brother also played an important role in the Senate.
He used his influence to launch a discussion on judicial fairness within the Senate, using the Yang Geyong case as a typical case, and called on lawmakers to pay attention to possible problems in the judicial system.
His speech attracted widespread attention within the Senate, and some members of the originally neutral lawmakers began to express sympathy for the case and put pressure on the judiciary to handle it impartially.
With the intervention of all forces, the attention of the case is getting higher and higher. The judicial department finally could not withstand the pressure from all walks of life and restarted the in-depth investigation of the case.
Driven by the new evidence provided by Jack and the public opinion, the investigation direction gradually developed in a direction that was beneficial to Yang Geyong.
Ye Yuze went to see Linda in person. Because she was the party involved, her testimony would play a key role in the entire case.
When Linda saw Ye Yuze, she felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look at him.
Ye Yuze did not talk to her about the case, but just chatted with the little girl Alisa for a while. Alisa has a good impression of Yang Geyong.
He kept begging his mother to help Uncle Yang, but Linda was silent. Ye Yuze could see that this woman loved Yang Geyong.
It was just that Yang Geyong's fickleness disappointed her, so this happened. It can be said that Linda has no feelings for this boyfriend, just to forget Yang Geyong.
Ye Yuze left without mentioning this matter. When he came, many people came with him, and more than a dozen cars were left. When he left, the streets became quiet in an instant.
At night, a car drove over, two black shadows got out, and quickly entered Linda's house through the unclosed window.
Inside the room, Linda was sitting in the living room drinking, and Alisa had already returned to the room to sleep. Facing the two men who suddenly appeared, Linda screamed.
But before the sound could be made, her mouth was covered because both men were wearing headcoats and Linda couldn't see their faces clearly.
A man threatened sternly: "Don't shout, you know Mike's identity, don't help a yellow man with a bad mind, otherwise your daughter will end up in a miserable way."
Linda looked at them in horror. Before she could speak, a figure rushed out from behind, punched and kicked, and the two gangsters with guns were knocked down.
Then he opened the door, and Ye Feng and a few fully armed policemen rushed in.
The father and son smiled knowingly and watched the police take the person away. Ye Yuze had already recorded the video of the passing just now. He wasn't afraid that they would go and say what else to say after entering the police station?
Linda was sobbing in Ye Yuze's arms, and Ye Yuze patted her back:
"I can't help you with emotional matters, but I know that my brother is definitely more reliable than this dead guy."
Linda nodded desperately, but couldn't speak. I believe she really understood.
After a long and difficult investigation and trial process, the court finally made a judgment.
The judge determined that Yang Geyong had indeed killed Linda's boyfriend in self-defense under the circumstances at that time.
In other words, neither of the behaviors of both of them were wrong, both of which were legal self-protection behaviors, and Yang Geyong was acquitted.
When the news came, Ye Yuze and his team were relieved.
The moment Yang Geyong walked out of the court, the sun shone on him, and there was no emotional change in his eyes.
He knew that as long as Ye Yuze was there, he would be fine, no matter what he did?
