Huo Yao is very efficient at work.

He filed a complaint with the Shanghai Municipal People's Court before Friday.

Five days later, the court summons was sent to the Zhao family.

After receiving the subpoena, Zhao Lian's parents contacted Yu Zhi privately several times, hoping to settle the matter privately with him.

After Yu Zhi rejected them once, he blocked their numbers.

Seeing that private settlement was not feasible, the Zhao family had no choice but to hire a lawyer to sue and submitted a defense statement to the court.

Since this case met the conditions for simplified procedures, the court notified the defendant and plaintiff after the trial and the trial would begin one month later.

Before the trial, the Zhao family bypassed Yu Zhi and privately contacted Yu Chengkun.

The Zhao family promised to give Yu Chengkun a sum of money, hoping that he would come forward to ask Yu Zhi to withdraw the lawsuit.

After Yu Chengkun learned about this, he immediately called Yu Zhi.

"Don't embarrass me in public. Do you really have to make this a public spectacle, even filing a lawsuit? Do you really have to make it public?"

"It's fine if you, a beta, ruin your own reputation, but have you ever considered your brother? If his reputation is ruined because of you, and he can't marry into a wealthy family in the future, you will be the sinner of the Yu family!"

"Alright, that's enough. The Zhao family has already agreed to pay you. Isn't that what you're making a fuss about? Life must be tough these days without pocket money. We've pushed you to this point."

Yu Chengkun laughed triumphantly, "Although you're a money-loser, I'm not a heartless person. As long as you withdraw the lawsuit, come home this weekend and admit your mistakes to me, and promise never to disobey me again, I'll give you pocket money as usual, and you won't have to be so broke as to sue others."

Yu Chengkun did not mention a word about the money that the Zhao family promised to give him, and he was sure to keep it all for himself.

Yu Zhi snorted coldly.

"Yu Chengkun, if you accept money from the Zhao family privately, I will sue you as well."

After saying that, Yu Zhi hung up the phone and blocked Yu Chengkun.

Just in case, Yu Zhi told Huo Yao that the Zhao family had secretly contacted Yu Chengkun.

"Huo Lu, I'm not yet an adult. Does my father have the authority to withdraw the lawsuit on my behalf?"

Huo Yao answered Yu Zhi confidently: "No."

Yu Zhi was relieved: "That's good."

Huo Yao also warned Yu Zhi, "During the period before the trial, do not contact the Zhao family privately, including your classmate Zhao Lian."

"If he talks to you about something, just say you need to contact your lawyer. Don't give him any leverage."

Yu Zhi wrote them down one by one: "Okay, I understand."

A month later, the case went to trial.

The Zhao family spent a lot of money to hire a lawyer from a red-circle law firm.

Before the trial, the Zhao family and their lawyers met Yu Zhi and Huo Yao, looking very confident, as if they were sure to win the case.

Yu Zhiming remained calm on the surface, but he was actually shaken inside.

Huo Yao saw Yu Zhi's worry and patted Yu Zhi on the shoulder before the court began.

He didn't say anything else, just one sentence: "Don't be afraid, justice will be on our side."

When the time comes, the court will open on time.

This was the first time Yu Zhi saw Huo Yao in court.

He really is like an invincible warrior.

The Zhao family's lawyer was at ease at the beginning, but as the case progressed, Huo Yao presented evidence one after another, and the other party began to lose their composure.

The rhythm of the defense was gradually dominated by Huo Yao.

Huo Yao was firing on all cylinders, and by the time his court defense was nearing its end, the Zhao family's lawyers had nothing left to do and could only remain silent.

The judge ruled on the spot that Zhao Lian's father was guilty of defamation and defamation against Yu Zhi, and was required to pay Yu Zhi 50,000 yuan in mental damages and make a public apology as requested by Yu Zhi.

The Zhao family applied for an appeal after the court hearing and expressed their dissatisfaction in accordance with the law.

After the trial, the court rejected the Zhao family’s appeal.

The judgment stands.

Unfortunately, the court did not have the power to force the Zhao family to immediately execute the judgment.

If the Zhao family intends to delay, they have a year to do so.

When the time was up, Yu Zhi submitted an application for compulsory execution to the local court. It would take at least another half a year for the court to ask the Zhao family to execute the application.

It has been delayed again and again. By the time the enforcement comes, Yu Zhi has already graduated. What is the point of making a public apology?

So, Yu Zhi came up with a solution.

He made many copies of the court's verdict and posted them on all the bulletin boards in the school.

At the same time, he also posted in his real name on the campus forum, making the whole story, the course of the lawsuit, and the verdict public online, with pictures and the truth.

As soon as the verdict was posted and the message was published, this incident quickly caused an uproar on campus.

This time, Yu Zhi finally became the victim in the eyes of the public, and Zhao Lian and his father became the target of public criticism.

Influenced by public opinion, a week later, Zhao Lian's father had to publicly apologize to Yu Zhi at the flag-raising ceremony on Monday.

However, the apology was only for the part of throwing dirty water. Zhao Lian's father firmly refused to admit that he had the idea of raping Yu Zhi, and vaguely covered up the past with the word "misunderstanding".

This was also the result that Yu Zhi had expected long ago.

He gave it his all and got the help of noble people to achieve this result.

After a public apology, Yu Zhi received compensation from the Zhao family.

The rumors about the birthday party at school were put to rest.

Yu Zhi and Zhao Lian never spoke a word to each other until graduation.

After graduation, Yu Zhi thought that he and Zhao Lian would never have any contact with each other again.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Lian became his college classmate and roommate.

As for what happened back then, the lawsuit was filed, the court made a judgment, and the decision was executed, but it was just not acceptable to Yu Zhi.

Zhao Lian actually had the nerve to say he had good intentions in front of him.

Ridiculous!

"After the birthday party, when I was criticized by everyone at school and accused of being your father's mistress, why didn't you have a kind heart?"

Just like when they were at the stairs, Yu Zhi asked Zhao Lian to come forward and tell the truth, but he couldn't move his legs or open his mouth. Now, when Yu Zhi asked this question, Zhao Lian could only remain silent.

Yu Zhi was in no mood to continue going over old matters with Zhao Lian, so he turned around and prepared to leave the dormitory.

Yu Zhi had just put his hand on the door handle when Zhao Lian suddenly spoke from behind him: "Yu Zhi."

"My dad is dead."

Yu Zhi stood there in a daze.
