Chapter 104 I believe Yun Yao is innocent.
Chapter 104 I believe Yun Yao is innocent.
The man nodded blankly. He had been terrified and was about to slip away in the chaos when he heard Su Yuchen say that as soon as he opened the door.
He said he was a god.
Just as they thought Su Yuchen had also been possessed by a ghost, a flash of silver light appeared, and the dark figure fell straight down from the sky.
"President Su, your Taoist skills are so profound, why didn't you explain clearly back then? You scared me half to death!" The man started rambling again.
Su Yuchen didn't say anything, started the car, and got back on the road.
As dawn broke, they had already entered the capital city. The sound of a man snoring came from the back seat, but Su Yuchen was not sleepy at all.
He probably knows why he acted strangely last night; Yun Yao is definitely involved!
Could it be that she has been secretly protecting me all along?
Su Yuchen recalled the fallen leaves that filled the courtyard that morning, and the traces of a fight on the ground.
The more he thought about it, the more agitated he became, and the lower he revved the engine.
……
Su Yuchen was not dead, and Qiao Yunan was furious.
Lian Shen waited outside the door, and when he heard the screams of the three figures, he closed his eyes.
Sanying had followed his master for many years. Last night, his body was completely destroyed. He must have thought that his master would avenge him when he returned to report. Unfortunately, he was wrong. If it were in the past, his master might have, but now, his return only led to his death.
"Sanying, farewell," Lian Shen said softly.
With a bang, the office door was kicked open from the inside, and Qiao Yunan exuded a violent aura.
"Let's go wish Madam Su a happy birthday!"
Qiao Yunan, exuding a fierce aura, passed by Lian Shen. Without hesitation, she quickly followed.
……
The capital city was exceptionally lively today, with the highly anticipated trial of Xue Qing's case opening and the birthday celebration of the matriarchal Madam Su.
These onlookers have already prepared their melon seeds and milk tea, following the progress of Xue Qing's case during the day and watching the media's live broadcast at night, making sure they don't miss either.
The area outside the Beijing People's Court is now completely surrounded by a dense cordon.
Chang Shuo frowned slightly as he looked at the situation outside.
"Ms. Yun, as you can see, the public is paying close attention to this case. You should be prepared."
Yun Yao glanced up, then immediately looked away, resting her chin on her hand as she thought about what happened last night.
She left in a hurry last night and didn't see what Su Yuchen was carrying in his car. If she really can't find any evidence, she'll have to think of another way. It's not good to stay in the police station any longer!
"Miss Yun?"
"Huh?" Yun Yao finally came to her senses.
"We should get off the bus."
Nearly a week has passed, and the situation has escalated to an uncontrollable point. Yun Yao has now become a target of public condemnation. Considering the personal safety of the suspect, the police and the court have made special exceptions for Yun Yao.
When Yun Yao was brought to court, she saw several familiar figures in the audience.
Ge Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with tears, and her gaze towards Yun Yao was full of worry. Ge Beiyao, who was standing beside her, put his arm around her and gently patted her shoulder to comfort her.
Yun Zhengfeng and Luo Hong were in the same situation. They were almost kicked out of the courtroom because they were too emotional. Only after seeing Yun Yao's signal did they slowly calm down.
The gavel fell, and the trial officially began.
From the outset, the Xue family and their lawyers were aggressive, presenting all the evidence and accusing Yun Yao of using any means necessary.
"Defendant, do you have any objections to the plaintiff's testimony?"
Yun Yao shook her head and didn't say anything.
Throughout the entire process, only the Xue family and their lawyers were talking, their mouths dry from talking.
On the contrary, Yun Yao and Dai Sheng, who should have been the ones to defend themselves, remained silent and were busy with their own things.
This greatly worried the crowd who had come for Yun Yao, and they began to whisper among themselves.
"quiet!"
The trial was nearing its end, and the judge's gaze towards Yun Yao had become increasingly hostile.
Therefore, it seems impossible for Yun Yao to overturn the verdict in this case!
"Big brother, isn't Dai Sheng the best lawyer in China? Why isn't he defending Yun Yao?" Ge Xiaoxiao gripped Ge Beiyao's sleeve tightly.
Ge Beiyao also found it strange. Given Dai Sheng's temperament, he would never have remained silent throughout the entire meeting. Could it be... that he had received a bribe from the Xue family?
"Defendant, do you have any objections to the plaintiff's above statement?"
Looking at the arrogant faces of those people opposite her, Yun Yao couldn't help but laugh.
This move was undoubtedly a provocation against the Xue family, and the faces of everyone in the plaintiff's seat darkened.
"Yun Yao, are you still not going to confess?"
"If you want to find fault, you can always find a reason." Yun Yao's voice, neither loud nor soft, fell silent.
Seeing this, the presiding judge was preparing to adjourn the court to deliver the final verdict.
The gavel was picked up and was about to fall.
"Since the defendant has no intention of rebutting, I now declare—"
"slow!"
At the critical moment, Chang Shuo pushed open the door and entered.
"Your Honor, new evidence has emerged, with both witnesses and physical evidence. On behalf of the Beijing police, I request a retrial!" Chang Shuo said breathlessly.
Little did they know that his appearance rekindled hope for so many people on the field.
Yun Zhengfeng's eyes also reddened, and his fists clenched tightly.
Yun Yao didn't turn around, but she could sense that the person she and Dai Sheng had been waiting for had returned.
She leaned back in her seat, her eyes, which remained calm no matter how strong the storm, gleamed with a gentle light.
The moment the new evidence was placed on the judge's desk, Dai Sheng, sitting in the defendant's lawyer's seat, seemed to turn on a machine that had been shut down for a long time. A flood of testimonies poured out, and at that moment, the courtroom was completely silent.
……
"That concludes my defense of the defendant. I believe Yun Yao is innocent!"
As Dai Sheng's powerful voice rang out, thunderous applause erupted throughout the venue.
Yun Yao looked up and smiled at Dai Sheng, then nodded slightly.
Before the evidence arrives, they have no chance of winning, but once the new evidence is on the judge's desk, then... they will not lose.
After the witness was brought in, the Xue family was speechless.
"Your Honor, Xue Qing bought me a packet of medicine. She said she wanted to poison rats, but with all her designer clothes, would she live in a place with rats? I felt she had ill intentions, so I thought I'd follow her and extort some money from her. I never expected this! I was asked to film her knocking someone unconscious in the service room. She changed into a waitress's uniform and came out, but she was completely different from before she went in. She was unsteady on her feet and trembling all over."
"As soon as I saw her, I knew she had taken that drug. I was terrified. How could I dare to continue recording? So I ran away."
"Later, the case of the murder of the female student at the Imperial University caused a great uproar, and I dared not stay in the capital anymore, so I returned to my hometown overnight," the man said with his head down.
The Xue family was furious. They slammed their hands on the table, pointed at the man's nose, and started cursing: "You bastard, you're just making baseless accusations! Did you take money from the Yun family?"
The gavel struck, and the Xue family was warned.
“Everything I said is true. The video of Xue Qing buying things with me, and the video I secretly recorded, have all been submitted. Whether they are true or false, the judge will decide! What are you babbling about!” the man retorted.
The gavel struck again, and the presiding judge adjourned the court pending a final verdict.
