Chapter 530: Well-known Big Shot
Gao Xiaofeng stood aside with a nervous expression, looking from time to time at the two people who were still confronting each other.
"Look, this is the evidence. Wang Xiaohei can no longer argue." Liang Lu's voice was trembling, and her eyes were determined, as if the video in her hand was the sword of justice. Gao Xiaofeng nodded, "Yes, we felt sorry for him before, but we didn't expect him to be such a person. These evil deeds must be punished."
Qi Tongwei's body trembled slightly when he heard their words. He looked at Liang Lu and Gao Xiaofeng, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. He knew that once this video was made public, Wang Xiaohei would never be able to turn things around, but was this really right? Gao Yuliang also frowned, with mixed feelings in his heart. Although Wang Xiaohei deserved it, it seemed a bit too cruel to completely defeat him in this way.
"You can't do this." Qi Tongwei suddenly said, his voice low but firm. Liang Lu and Gao Xiaofeng were stunned. They didn't expect Qi Tongwei to object. "Why? He has done so many bad things, and you still want to protect him?" Liang Lu questioned, her eyes full of confusion.
Qi Tongwei took a deep breath and said, "I am not protecting him, it's just that this method...we can't let anger and hatred blind us. Let the law handle it instead of using this method that may be considered revenge." Gao Yuliang also echoed, "Qi Tongwei is right. We can't drag ourselves to the same moral level as him."
Wang Xiaohei's face became even gloomier when he heard their conversation. He sneered, "Hmph, Qi Tongwei, stop pretending. Don't you just want to see me die? Why are you pretending to be a good person now?" Qi Tongwei looked at Wang Xiaohei, with a trace of pain in his eyes, "I just don't want to make things worse. You have made a mistake, so you should accept a fair trial instead of being destroyed by us in this way."
At this time, people around began to talk about it. Some hotel employees felt that Liang Lu and Gao Xiaofeng were right, and people like Wang Xiaohei should be severely punished and should not be sympathized with. But some people thought that Qi Tongwei and Gao Yuliang had a point, and using video threats to achieve their goals might cause more problems.
Liang Lu disagreed, "Justice? He has hurt so many people, has he ever thought about justice? This video must help him get punished. I can't let him hurt more people." There was a kind of stubbornness in her eyes. She felt deeply angry and terrified about Wang Xiaohei's evil deeds.
Gao Xiaofeng pulled the corner of Liang Lu's clothes, "But if we do this, will there be trouble? What Qi Tongwei and Gao Yuliang said also makes sense. We can't let ourselves fall into injustice." Liang Lu glanced at Gao Xiaofeng, "You don't understand, we are protecting more people. If he can escape the punishment he deserves this time, who knows what more terrible things he will do in the future."
Qi Tongwei and Gao Yuliang were caught in a dilemma. They knew that Liang Lu and Gao Xiaofeng had good intentions, but this approach might violate the moral principles they had always upheld. They looked at Wang Xiaohei, whose eyes showed both resentment towards them and fear that he might face more serious consequences.
"We can give the video to the police and let them decide whether to use it as evidence." Gao Yuliang proposed a compromise. Qi Tongwei nodded, "Yes, this will not get us into the controversy of using the video to threaten, and it can also ensure the fairness of the law."
Liang Lu thought about it, and although she was a little reluctant, she still agreed to this suggestion. "Okay, but we must let the police take this video seriously and not let Wang Xiaohei escape easily." She handed the phone to Gao Yuliang, who took the phone and looked at the video with a lot of emotion in his heart.
At this moment, the police arrived at the scene. Gao Yuliang stepped forward, handed the phone to the police, and explained the situation in detail. The police looked at the video with a serious expression, "This video is very important, we will investigate it as one of the evidences." Hearing the words of the police, Liang Lu breathed a sigh of relief, she felt that justice was finally more effectively guaranteed.
Wang Xiaohei was controlled by the police. He looked at the phone in the police's hand and knew that his fate might have been decided by this video. A flash of despair flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by anger. "Don't even think about having an easy life. Even if I go to jail, I will not let you go." He shouted at Qi Tongwei and others, and the hatred in his eyes became stronger.
Qi Tongwei felt a pang of pain as he watched Wang Xiaohei being taken away by the police. He knew that the friendship between them and Wang Xiaohei had been completely broken, and it was all because of Wang Xiaohei's wrong choice. He turned to Gao Yuliang and said, "I hope the law can make him truly realize his mistakes and start a new life." Gao Yuliang patted Qi Tongwei on the shoulder and said, "We have tried our best. It depends on his own luck next."
In the following days, this incident caused a sensation in the local area. People talked about Wang Xiaohei's evil deeds and had different opinions on the actions of Qi Tongwei and others. Some people praised their rationality and adherence to morality, believing that they did not lose themselves in the face of anger; but some people questioned why they did not punish Wang Xiaohei more severely, thinking that they were too lenient.
Qi Tongwei and Gao Yuliang were under pressure from public opinion and had to deal with the subsequent problems of the hotel. The hotel was greatly affected by this incident, with fewer customers and damaged reputation. They had to re-plan their business strategy and work hard to restore the hotel's image.
Liang Lu and Gao Xiaofeng were also following the development of the incident. Liang Lu was a little worried that Wang Xiaohei would escape legal sanctions for some reason, so she kept an eye on the progress of the police investigation. Gao Xiaofeng was thinking about the impact of this incident on everyone, and she realized how complicated human nature was when faced with the choice between good and evil.
As the police investigation deepened, more evidence of Wang Xiaohei's gambling and harming others was discovered. His crimes became clearer and clearer, and the video provided by Liang Lu became one of the key pieces of evidence. Wang Xiaohei still tried to quibble during the interrogation, but his lies seemed pale and powerless in the face of the hard evidence.
Wang Xiaohei's former younger brother, Aqiang, was extremely worried when he heard that his boss was arrested. He knew that Wang Xiaohei's crime was serious, but out of friendship, he decided to fight for Wang Xiaohei. So he asked around, used all his connections and resources, and invited a famous gold medal lawyer from Jincheng - Chen Dalu, who was a well-known figure in the legal community.
