Chapter 81: Acquittal

January 1, 2020, after finally persuading his parents to go back first, Wu Li was transferred to the detention center.

On January 3, aside from Ma Qing, the three other injured parties finished giving their statements. That evening, everyone involved in the incident was brought back to the police station to give their statements, and the case was reconstructed in full detail, matching Wu Li's previous account without any significant discrepancies.

By January 4, Ma Qing showed no signs of awakening and was declared to be in a vegetative state. His family filed a legal complaint with the court, accusing Wu Li of intentional injury. Their argument was that since Wu Li was trained in martial arts and had previously won a fighting competition, he was fully capable of defending himself without causing serious harm, yet he chose to use brutal force.
