Heroic Death System (BL)

ARC 8 : COVENANTOR

Taking advantage of this rising wind, Shang Ke once again submitted his evidence to the relevant departments, requesting that they give a just verdict.

If Shang Ke was just an ordinary covenantor, this matter could be expected to quickly be suppressed. However, Shang Ke was backed by Lu Xiufan, even if the two people he was accusing were aristocrats, the officials who had to deal with this matter could not simply pretend to be ignorant and befuddled.

Finally, under pressure from public opinion and under Lu Xiufan's eye, the two aristocratic defendants suspected of abuse were taken to court for a public hearing. Shang Ke, attending as the head of the distribution center and representative of the prosecution party, stated the case to the court in an clear and organized manner with all the evidence. When faced with the cross-examination of the defence lawyers, he maintained his calm composure and answered quickly and fluently.

Additionally, several covenantors involved in the investigation were also asked to testify in court.

This public trial finally ended with the defeat of the aristocrats. They not only had to compensate the victims a sum of 250,000 yuan, but were also detained for half a month in detention.

Although the sentence was light, this was the first major victory in defending the rights and interests of the covenantors.

The defeat of the two aristocrats added some color to this public trial. No one expected the covenantors to go so far as to sue the aristocrats, much less also unexpectedly win! And Shang Ke relied on the performance of a couple covenantors, allowing the outside world to see their exceptional points.

Neither servile nor overbearing, adhering to principles, and not afraid of the powerful. From such an absolutely weak position, they were still able to win the final victory.

This time, it could be said Shang Ke walked ahead into the limelight, and became almost like a representative for the covenantors.

The background of his life was also dug out. Yue Ze was the head of Yue Family's son, the future family heir with outstanding abilities and overall excellent performance. At the age of 18, he was misdiagnosed as a person infected with the mental virus and was forced to undergo surgical treatment and turned into a covenantor. He was then sent to the distribution center by his stepmother and finally hired by Lu Xiufan.

The public was in an uproar at this revelation. The heir of Yue Family, incredibly misdiagnosed with the mental virus? Originally the child of a prominent family with boundless prospects, was thus turned into an emotionless covenantor with shortened lifespan? What kind of cruel tragedy was this? The public couldn't imagine how much despair he would feel if he still had emotions. He was clearly a normal person, but because of some laughable mistake, he fell into such an abyss, and even afterwards was sent to the distribution center by his ill-intentioned stepmother. With his appearance, if he had been captured by some shameless person, everyone knows what the outcome would have been.

For a moment, Shang Ke won the sympathy and pity of countless people with the tragic color of his situation. Now, with the identity of a covenantor, he was fighting for the rights and interests of other covenantors. Although everyone knew that he had no feelings, his actions were imbued with a kind of courage and strength.

As attention continued to increase, this matter quickly began to make headlines. Immediately afterwards, the previously hidden details of the abuse that many covenantors were victims of was revealed one after another, the effect quickly swelled and created an incessant outcry. Lu Xiufan secretly drove the reveals. Roughly counting the number of covenantors that had died of abuse over the years, he estimated that at least 80% of the covenantors had not been treated as they should have after being hired.
