The rest is just noise

Louis originally thought that Wu Sansheng had returned to his hometown, but he did not expect that his family wanted him to stay in the United States to study for graduate school.

He doesn’t have many ideas. 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 racist hatred has obviously increased, he is just a grain of sand in the world. Can bad luck still find him?

?

As a result, bad luck really caught up with him.

He was drinking with several schoolmates in a nightclub, but was provoked by several white men. They did not respond and wanted to leave the matter alone. However, they only tolerated the situation and the other party became more aggressive.

Several people traveling with Wu Sansheng lost control first and started beating people.

Wu Sansheng was the one who broke up the fight, so he was knocked to the ground. When the other party tried to hit his head with a bottle, he only had an instinctive desire to protect himself.

He grabbed the stool and used it as a weapon to knock the opponent unconscious.

Unexpectedly, someone died this time.

The police confirmed that the white men were laid-off workers. Because they were unemployed, they were idle and hanging out in bars all day. When Wu Sansheng and his gang saw them, they mistook them for Japanese, which led to subsequent conflicts.

However, several white people involved in the fight refused to admit that it was related to racial conflicts, and even accused Wu Sansheng and his party of provoking it first.

The incident was publicized by local media and quickly spread throughout Ohio, becoming a social hot spot.

Radical social activists tried their best to expand the impact of this incident and get Wu Sansheng convicted.

Currently, Wu Sansheng is still a free man, but he is certain to face the lawsuit.

When Louis learned about this, he naturally told him not to panic. According to Ohio law, "if people do not have to give in when confronting others, they can use deadly force when they believe their life safety is threatened. In this case,

Killing someone is considered self-defense."

This is the famous no-compromise method.

More than thirty states in the United States have implemented this bill.

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

Louis has not yet understood what happened in detail and cannot confirm whether what Wu Sansheng said is true. He can only support the other party as a friend now.

In the same month, NBA owners planned to hold advance negotiations with the Players Association again during the All-Star weekend.

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

However, the owners are promoting a hard salary cap. They want to limit the players' salaries to a certain fixed amount. Naturally, the players' association cannot accept such conditions. They don't want a salary cap, let alone a hard salary cap.

Soon, the owners will find that as the value of the league gradually increases, a hard salary cap will not work, just because the current salary level has exceeded the actual bearing 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 within the Celtics, applied for a business trip abroad.

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

Louis rushed back to Ohio to meet Wu Sansheng.

His travels are now restricted and he must be summoned by the court at any time.

When Louis arrived near Ohio University, he saw a large group of white people marching with the slogan "Murderers must go to jail."

Wu Sansheng became a local celebrity in a way that he did not want to.

“I just said that I shouldn’t stay in the United States anymore. They insisted that I stay for graduate school,!@#!￥”

Wu Sansheng's negative emotions exploded in front of Louis, spouting one after another his hometown dialect.

Louis could barely understand "Selinmu", a dirty word that meant dancing with the other person's mother.

"Did you leave any clues?" Louis asked.

"What do you mean?" Wu Sansheng was very sensitive, "Don't you believe me? Damn it, if I hadn't reacted quickly that day, that idiot would have smashed me to death with a wine bottle!"

That's the problem.

"Are you sure that a wine bottle can kill someone?" Louis didn't care 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 "no concession method".

If it fits, he'll be fine.

If he is not suitable, he is likely to go to jail.

"It doesn't matter anymore! Look at those people outside!" Wu Sansheng opened the window angrily, "Everyone outside the school wants me to go to jail!"

Wu Sansheng's words made Louis sober up a lot.

In the past few years, he has worked under a strict system with strict rules.

In the NBA, rules are everything.

People in management are studying how to exploit loopholes in the rules every day. Although bugs do exist, there are no loopholes to exploit in the work that Louis is doing.

As for Wu Sansheng's case, the focus is not just on whether his behavior was excessive or not. The sensitive racial chord stirred by this incident may affect the outcome of the trial.

The white people outside are not so much protesting for the dead man as they simply hate Asians who look like Japanese.

Hatred of the Japanese has risen among all East Asians.

Affected by Japan, the U.S. industry is in recession, and the number of laid-off workers has reached a new high since 1975. The total number of hate crime cases across the United States has increased by 21% compared with the same period last year. Among all hate cases, Japan-related hate cases have the largest increase.

In their eyes, the Chinese and the Japanese do not look much different, and their hatred of the Japanese has evolved into racial hatred that only involves skin color, not right and wrong.

Louis jumped out of the box and saw clearly the problem he had to face, and he became more worried 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 know which lawyer is reliable!"

Yes, for such a sensitive case, if you hire an incompetent or mediocre lawyer, it will have a catastrophic effect on the outcome of the trial.

Although Wu Sansheng's family is well off, this is a case that happened in the United States. No matter how well-connected his family is in Taiwan, it will be difficult to find a suitable lawyer in the United States.

"I'm here to help you with the lawyer matter." Louis said seriously, "Since you already know that the group of people outside want to see you go to jail, you should think carefully about what happened that night. I believe you are not guilty.

But you still have to convince the judge and jury."

After coming out of Ohio, Louis contacted Master Huo, the president of the Homology Society, who was quite famous in the Chinese circle.

His family owns a martial arts gym in Chinatown, California, and has a wide network of contacts.

Louis is one of the most promising young people in the association. Master Huo originally wanted him to take on more important positions in the association, but he didn't want to be distracted by these extra things. So he just worked on time.

Submit membership fees, and if someone in the association needs help, he will provide assistance to the best of his ability. Similarly, when he encounters trouble, he also needs help from people in the association.

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

This solves Wu Sansheng's urgent need, but the specific details will not be known until the trial begins.

Louis did not stay in Ohio for long and returned to Boston as soon as the All-Star weekend was over.

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

But this time, Fitch failed to succeed. Auerbach asked K.C Jones to go on a business trip, leaving Louis in Boston. He did not need to follow the team to the away game, but had to stay at the Greek Academy to help Auerbach.
