The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 98: A grain of sand in disaster

Louis originally thought that Wu Sansheng had returned to his hometown, but his family wanted him to stay in the United States for graduate school.

He doesn't have much opinion. Since he can't find anything to do when he goes back, he might as well stay in the United States to continue his studies. Although the racist hatred has obviously increased, he is just a grain of sand in the vast world. Can bad luck still find him?

As a result, bad luck really found him.

He was drinking in a nightclub with a few alumni, but was provoked by a few white men. They didn't respond. They wanted to leave the matter peacefully, but blindly tolerated it in exchange for the other party's intensification.

Several people in Wu Sanxing's group were the first to lose control and beat people.

Wu Sansheng was the one who persuaded him to fight, so he was brought to the ground. When the other party tried to hit him on the head with a wine bottle, all he had left was his instinctive desire to protect himself.

He grabbed the stool and stunned him as a weapon.

Unexpectedly, this time it turned out to be fatal.

The police confirmed that the white people were laid-off workers. Because they were unemployed, they were idle and spent all day in bars. When they saw Wu Sanxing and his group, they regarded them as Japanese, which led to the subsequent conflict.

However, several white people who participated in the fight refused to admit that it had anything to do with racial conflicts, and even countered that Wu Sanxing and his party were provocative.

After local media publicity, the matter quickly spread throughout Ohio and became a social hotspot.

Radical social activists did everything they could to amplify the matter, thereby convicting Wu Sansheng.

At present, Wu Sansheng is still free, but the lawsuit is settled.

When Louis learned of this, he naturally told him not to panic. According to the law of Ohio, "If the people do not have to choose to back down when confronting others, they can use lethal force when they think their lives are threatened. This situation Killing is considered self-defense."

This is the famous law of no concession.

Thirty U.S. states have implemented this law.

If Wu Sansheng can prove that the other party threatened his life, his self-defense is innocent.

Louis has not yet understood the details of what happened, and cannot confirm whether Wu Sansheng's statement is true. He can only support the other party as a friend now.

In the same month, NBA owners plan to negotiate with the players' association in advance again during All-Star Weekend.

The concept of a salary cap was first raised at this meeting.

However, the bosses implement a hard salary cap. They want to limit the salary of players to a certain fixed amount. Naturally, the Players Association cannot accept such conditions. They don't want a salary cap, let alone a hard cap.

Soon, owners will find that a hard salary cap won't work as the league's value grows, just because the current salary level has exceeded the actual capacity of the league, and it will take many years to return to normal, so they Want a hard hat.

Louis, who has been marginalized in the Celtics, applied for a business trip.

Auerbach thought he was just bored and agreed to his application.

Louis rushed back to Ohio to meet Wu San Province.

His travel is now restricted and he is subject to a court summons at any time.

When Louie came to Ohio University, he saw a large number of white people marching with the slogan "Murderers must go to jail".

Wu Sansheng became a local celebrity in a way he was reluctant.

"I just said I shouldn't stay in the US anymore, they insisted that I stay for graduate school,! @#!¥"

Wu Sansheng's negative emotions erupted in front of Louis, spewing out paragraph after paragraph of hometown dialect.

Louis could only barely understand "Salinmu", a dirty word that represented dancing with the other's mother.

"Have you left anything behind?" Louis asked.

"What do you mean?" Wu Sanxing was very sensitive, "Don't you believe me? Damn, if I hadn't reacted quickly that day, that scumbag would have killed me with a wine bottle!"

That's the problem.

"Are you sure, a wine bottle can kill someone?" Regardless of whether Wu Sansheng was overly defensive, he just wanted to confirm whether his reaction combined with the other party's behavior was suitable for the "non-concession method".

If it fits, he's fine.

If it doesn't fit, he is likely to go to jail.

"It doesn't matter anymore! Look at the group of people outside!" Wu Sansheng pushed open the window irritably, "Everyone outside the school wants me to go to jail!"

Wu Sansheng's words made Louis sober a lot.

For the past few years, he has worked under a tight system with rules and regulations.

In the NBA, rules are everything.

People in the management team are studying how to take advantage of the rules every day. Although bugs do exist, there are no holes to take advantage of in the work that Louis is engaged in.

In the case of Wu Sansheng, the focus is not only on the fact that his behavior is excessive, but the sensitive racial string played by this incident may affect the outcome of the trial.

The white people out there, they don't protest so much for the dead man, they simply hate Asians who look like Japanese.

Hatred of the Japanese has risen to all East Asians.

Affected by Japan, the U.S. industry is in recession, and the number of laid-offs has hit a new high since 1975. The total number of hate crimes nationwide has increased by 21% over the same period last year. Among all hate cases, Japan-related hate cases saw the largest increase.

In their eyes, there is not much difference between the Chinese and the Japanese, and hatred of the Japanese has evolved into a racial hatred of only skin color, not right and wrong.

Louis jumped out of the box, saw the problem that he had to face, and deepened his worries about Wu Sansheng.

"Does your family know about this?"

"They're on their way."

"Where's the lawyer?"

"Alas..." Wu Sansheng shook his head and said, "I don't even know which lawyer is reliable!"

Yes, in such a sensitive case, if an incompetent or mediocre lawyer is hired, the outcome of the trial will be disastrously guided.

Although Wu Sansheng’s family is good, this is a case in the United States. No matter how well-connected their family is in Taiwan, it is difficult to find a suitable lawyer in the United States.

"As for the lawyer, I'll help you." Louis said seriously, "Since you already know that the group of people outside wants to see you in jail, you should think about what happened that night. I believe you are innocent. But you still have to convince the judge and the jury about it."

After coming out of Ohio, Louis contacted the president of the Tongyuan Association, Master Huo, who is quite famous in the Chinese circle~www.wuxiaspot.com~ His family opened a martial arts gym in Chinatown, California, and he had a wide network of contacts.

Louie is one of the most powerful young people in the Association. Master Huo wanted him to take up a more important position in the association, but he didn't want to be distracted by these extra things. So just submit the dues on time, if anyone in the meeting needs help, he will provide assistance within his capacity. Likewise, when he is in trouble, he needs the help of the people in the meeting.

This time, it was through Master Huo that he helped Wu Sanxing find a lawyer who was very good at fighting racial hatred cases.

Only in this way can Wu Sansheng's urgent needs be solved, but the specifics will not be known until the trial begins.

Louie didn't stay in Ohio for long, returning to Boston shortly after All-Star weekend.

Unexpectedly, the old boy Fitch wanted to send him out again.

But this time, Fitch was not able to succeed. Auerbach asked K.C. Jones to go on a business trip and left Louis in Boston. He did not need to follow the team to the road, but stayed in the Greek Academy to help Auerbach work.
