The protagonist of this crossover film and television series is disrupting the plot again.

Chapter 597 Sand Sea 23

On the very day Li Cu finished his college entrance exam, the case, which had lasted for nearly a year, was finally brought to a close.

Those who had committed murder were sentenced to death by the court in accordance with the law.

As for the others, the court imposed detailed sentences based on the severity of their specific crimes, ranging from several months' imprisonment to life imprisonment, with additional penalties including confiscation of illegal gains and fines.

Every member of the Nine Gates paid the corresponding legal price for their actions and bore the due legal responsibility.

Wu Xie was convicted of multiple crimes, including tomb raiding, damaging cultural relics, illegal possession of firearms, and instigating crime, and was ultimately sentenced to 25 years in prison.

The police report, even with much sensitive content omitted, still caused a sensation nationwide.

"What? Am I seeing things? Can something like this really happen in modern times?"

"Absolutely! A bunch of tomb raiders actually went and made a big deal out of 'Nine Gates,' I'm really impressed by them. Is it something to be proud of?"

"I woke up thinking I'd traveled through time. With the government cracking down on tomb raiding so hard, it's unbelievable that someone would dare to do it on such a large scale!"

"A few days ago there were rumors online that something big was going to happen. This must be it, right? Yes, it is indeed very big. It has shocked me to the core."

"These damned tomb raiders! Countless volunteers went to great lengths to retrieve our ancestors' artifacts from abroad, and these people actually resold them overseas! They should all be shot, shot!!!"

"Am I the only one who's noticed? Tomb raiding is actually this profitable! The confiscated illegal gains alone are already in the tens of billions!!!"

"Hmph! The Nine Gates have made so much money by reselling cultural relics for so many years, but in the end the country has to spend more than ten times the amount of money to get these cultural relics back. It makes people grit their teeth in anger."

"These people are truly vicious. They not only robbed tombs but also killed so many people. Their heinous acts are no less than those of the underworld."

"The Nine Gates are essentially a criminal organization. Almost every family has its own branch and a group of underlings. No one in the area dares to mess with them."

"My God! I suddenly remembered Li Cu, who's been all over the internet lately. Wasn't he seriously injured by this group last year?"

“Indeed! Look at Wu’s case, it just happens to match Li Cu’s case.”

"I saw it! I saw it! It's absolutely terrifying! Li Chu was just walking peacefully down the street when he was seriously injured by Wu and his gang. They even chased him to the hospital, where they, along with the doctors and their own men, tried to forcibly take him away. If Li Chu hadn't called the police in time, they probably would have succeeded."

"Aaaaaah!!! That damned Wu! How twisted must his mind be to do something like this?"

"Holy crap! Could this Wu be another Sun? Did Uncle Hat really investigate all the cases against him? Are there more?"

“Take another look at the announcement. Wu Xie’s behavior is actually considered child’s play among the Nine Gates. The behavior of the others is much more chilling.”

"I found a photo of Xie and Wu. These two are so handsome, they're absolutely stunning!"

"The two of them had buzz cuts and were wearing blue and white striped clothes, yet they still looked so handsome. It's clear they're incredibly handsome in real life!"

"He's so handsome, so skilled, and this Boss Xie can even sing opera! He's totally my type, I love him!"

"The people from the Nine Gates are so cool! Are they the legendary tomb raiders? These people must have so many legendary stories about them. Why did I only find out about the Nine Gates now? Otherwise, I could have gone tomb raiding with them!"

"Is the person upstairs out of their mind? Where's the building manager? Get them out of here!"

"Here it comes, the account has been banned."

"Does anyone know which hospital Li Cu was in? Why doesn't the police release this information to warn others? The doctors there actually helped a criminal take a seriously injured minor home. Who would dare go to that hospital after this?"

"Sigh, hospitals these days..."

There was a lot of discussion online. At first, people were only discussing the Nine Gates, but the topic started to spread.

Fortunately, the hospital issued a statement in time, announcing that Liang Wan had been dismissed.

Even so, netizens still ended up criticizing the hospital relentlessly.

Similarly, the regions where the various families of the Nine Gates are located were also heavily criticized by netizens, who accused the local governments of inadequate supervision, which indirectly fueled the development of the Nine Gates and led to so many heinous incidents.

A group of thugs saw how much money the Nine Gates tomb raiders had made, so they sneaked into the cemetery to rob the tombs.

Before they could even start digging, they were apprehended by the police on the spot.

With the lessons learned from the Nine Gates incident still fresh in their minds, the police now have a deep aversion to tomb raiding. Upon receiving the alarm call, they rushed to the scene immediately, successfully apprehended the perpetrator, and took him back to the police station.
