Chapter 457 The scene of the explosion
As soon as An Ran appeared, everyone's eyes were instantly focused on her.
She stood tall and straight, her eyes firm, and her clear and powerful voice broke the silence in the hall: "I can serve as Chen Haonan's defense."
Commander Gao seemed to have found his savior. He immediately stood up, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, his eyes revealing relief and affirmation. He said in a loud voice, "Yes, Comrade An Ran, you are indeed qualified."
His voice echoed in the courtroom, giving He Chenguang and others a shot of adrenaline.
When Li Lianying and others heard this, the muscles on their faces twitched slightly. They could only snort coldly, with a hint of dissatisfaction and helplessness flashing in their eyes.
An Ran walked steadily to Chen Haonan.
She looked around and met the presiding judge, Fang Tangjing, with a determined gaze. Then she cleared her throat and began to speak methodically, "Presiding Judge, comrades, please allow me to explain the details of what happened. I then ask the presiding judge to conduct a fair trial."
"First, this medal..."
As he spoke, An Ran solemnly took out a glittering golden medal of the National Special Forces Competition from his pocket and held it high, letting the medal reflect a dazzling light under the light.
"Everyone may have forgotten that the Big Black Commando Team won the National Special Forces Competition and won this precious medal. This is enough to prove the strength of the Big Black Commando Team and the importance of their existence."
Speaking of the medal, An Ran admired Chen Haonan's foresight very much, because this was the medal that Chen Haonan arranged for her to bring back to the Magic Pill Base before he came to the Trial Court, and now the medal just came in handy.
These words were like a stone thrown into the lake, causing ripples to appear instantly, and everyone couldn't help but whisper to each other.
"Judging from the results, Chen Haonan is really good at leading a team."
"That's right. This is the pinnacle national special forces competition, a stage where the top special commandos from all major military regions gather. The intensity of the competition is simply beyond imagination. The Big Black Commando Team was able to stand out from so many elites and win the championship. It's really not easy. Their strength is not exaggerated."
"Yeah, compared to that, the Thor Commandos pale in comparison. They're a long-established, established commando team, but they haven't made it into the top ten for three consecutive years. Isn't that a bit unreliable?"
"Alas, it seems you can't judge a book by its cover. This young Black Commando has unlimited potential."
"Yes, the results are the best proof. They speak with their strength. This championship is not won for nothing."
Everyone nodded, gaining a new understanding of the strength of the Big Black Commando.
Hearing the discussions of the crowd, Fang Tangjing snorted coldly. He didn't expect that An Ran would come over with a medal.
However, this is useless. It will kill people and the good deeds cannot offset the bad deeds!
An Ran paused briefly, a trace of heartache flashing in her eyes, and continued, "Secondly, why did the Big Black Commando carry out this mission? It was Director Wen of Donghai City who came to find Chen Haonan personally. Also, I'm a member of the Magic Pill Base. Chen Haonan, out of his responsibility to his teammates, would definitely carry out this rescue mission without hesitation."
"When rescuing people, Comrade Chen Haonan took an extremely dangerous approach to avoid provoking the enemy with a direct attack. He led the team to swim underwater into the reservoir. Everyone knows how difficult this was. There were high-speed rotating fans underneath the reservoir. If you weren't careful, you'd be sucked in, and nothing would be left."
An Ran's voice trembled slightly. She looked at Chen Haonan distressedly, her eyes full of tenderness and distress, and said softly: "Xiao Hao, take off your clothes and show them to everyone."
Chen Haonan raised his face slightly, his expression calm, "No need..."
"Don't be stubborn, or they'll say we're just making things up."
As she spoke, An Ran's eyes reddened. She walked forward and gently took off Chen Haonan's shirt.
Chen Haonan's upper body covered with scars was instantly exposed to everyone.
An Ran looked at the scars and couldn't hold back her tears any longer. She couldn't help but sob and said, "He's just a child. He suffered so many injuries, but he didn't say a word and didn't seek credit. What did he do wrong? These scars were cut under the reservoir."
Her voice, tinged with tears, echoed in the courtroom, making everyone present feel heartbroken.
The scene exploded instantly.
Everyone's attention was drawn to Chen Haonan, whose small body was covered with scars, and the expressions on their faces gradually changed from shock to heartache.
"Oh my god, these wounds really look like they were made by a rotating fan. They are so horrible."
"Yes, I've seen that reservoir myself before. The speed of the fan is terrifying. I can't imagine how he could get in under such dangerous circumstances."
"I didn't expect this child to fight so hard. Look at the wounds, they're so dense, and the deep ones are still bleeding. How much pain must he have endured?"
"There are so many small wounds. He endured the severe pain and crawled in step by step. It was not easy."
"He's risking his own life to save others. This spirit is truly remarkable."
"Also, he's been enduring the pain and standing here without changing his expression. His endurance is incredible. He's worthy of being the champion of the National Special Forces Competition."
"Yes, yes. So, the claim that this child held back the old comrade and caused his death needs to be considered."
“Yeah, how could such a powerful little warrior kill someone?
"This child is truly admirable. He was injured and saved others, but now he is being judged. It's so unfair."
"Yes, yes, this matter must be clarified. We can't let the hero bleed and cry."
The public was outraged and questioned the fairness of the trial.
Seeing that public opinion was one-sided and everyone expressed sympathy and admiration for Chen Haonan, Fang Tangjing's face turned very ugly.
His brows were tightly furrowed, and there was a hint of panic in his eyes.
We can't be led like this, otherwise, Chen Haonan might be acquitted...
Fang Tangjing's face darkened, and he banged the gavel hard, shouting, "This is just one side of your story. It can't be used as evidence, and it contradicts what Lei Dian said."
As he said this, he turned to look at Tianlang, who had a heavy expression on his face, and said, "Tianlang, you come and fill in the gaps."
Tianlang glanced at Lei Zhan, who lowered his head and remained silent. He felt a little hesitant, but he still gritted his teeth and said stubbornly, "I object to An Ran's opinion..."
