After Qin Ru Hai's sentencing, his accomplices couldn't escape justice either. However, as mere accessories and secondary offenders, their crimes were less severe than Qin Ru Hai's, leading to lighter sentences.
Although His first love, the mistress, didn't participate in the crimes, she knowingly lived with him as his wife despite being aware of his marriage. This constituted bigamy, and she was sentenced to a two-year prison sentence.
As for Qin Chu...
Due to insufficient evidence proving his involvement in Qin Fang Hao's attempted murder, he was temporarily spared from conviction.
Qin Chu expressed deep sorrow over the incident. He claimed that despite being shocked upon discovering his true parentage, Qin Fang Hao had always been the mother he called since childhood, and he acknowledged no other mother.
"Blood ties sometimes mean nothing. My mother raised me for twenty-six years, and I respect and love her deeply. How could I ever conspire with my father against her? I even tried to dissuade him when I learned of his intentions. I thought he had listened to me, but unfortunately, he acted irrationally and committed the crime."
Qin Ru Hai corroborated his son's statement, leading to Qin Chu's acquittal for the time being.
Xiang Yi Mo was astounded. Had she not known the truth through Xiao Qi, she might have been half-convinced by their performance. What can she say? It is a pity these two aren't actors? Indeed, the male lead's aura is undeniable.
However, Qin Fang Hao wasn't buying Qin Chu's story. She had an inexplicable intuition that Qin Chu wasn't as innocent as he claimed. So, even though the court declared him not guilty, he was already condemned in her heart.
After the court session, Qin Fang Hao decisively expelled Qin Chu from the Qin family, publicly revealing his true parentage and severing all ties with him. She also announced Qin Shen as the rightful young master and new head of the Qin family, set to take over the Shangcheng group.
The news of Qin Ru Hai's trial, combined with this announcement, quickly became a trending topic.
People both inside and outside the circle had finished eating their melons. Apart from angrily cursing the convicted scumbags, they unanimously sympathise with Qin Fang Hao and Qin Shen. They also wondered whether to marvel at how reality could be absurdly dramatic or if art merely imitates life.
Of course, there were some dissenting opinions.
Some say things like:
【Isn't Madam Qin a bit heartless? Even people who raise dogs develop feelings for them, but she just discarded the son she raised for over twenty years the moment her biological son returned? 】
【Exactly! How long has this biological son been back? Is blood relation really that important? Does it outweigh all those years of affection? 】
Then, immediate rebuttals followed:
【What kind of pea-brained comments are these? You might as well donate your brains if you don't need them. Did you grow hands but not a brain? 】
【What kind of holier-than-thou hypocrites are you? I wish for you all to be cuckolded for years, raising the mistress's child for years while your own child's life and death remain unknown and your spouse schemes against you. Let's see if you'd still smile and let the mistress's child inherit your wealth. 】
【Is it possible that those defending the mistress are scumbags, mistresses or illegitimate children themselves? 】
【Seeing everyone cursing them makes me feel at ease. Teachers, you are my voice on the internet! Write a book already! 】
Then, someone else chimed in. They questioned whether Madam Qin knew what kind of person her newly reunited biological son was and whether it was wise to hand over such a massive corporation so casually.
They suggested it would have been better to give it to her other son, the one she raised and trained.
As soon as the comments were posted, a flood of people swarmed in, slapping the faces of these commenters with the new trending hashtag #TheOwnerOfZhishenTechnologyIsHim#.
Well, that shut them up real quick. They immediately fell silent and disappeared without making a sound.
