The Genius Sweetheart of the Abstinent Goblin Boss

'If that scoundrel Zeng had put all his energy into fighting and killing the enemy, why did he use every dirty trick in the book against his own people?'

'Commander Qi is truly pitiful; he deserves justice!'

'Give Commander Qi justice! Give the heroes an explanation!'

'Zeng Nian must be executed!!'

'Death penalty! Death penalty! Execution by firing squad!'

……

Prosecutor: "Your Honor, both the witness and the defendant are currently emotionally agitated, which is seriously affecting the quality of the trial. I request a half-hour recess so that the trial can resume after witness Jingying has made her preparations."

The presiding judge granted permission to reconvene the court in an hour. Zeng Nian was taken back to the detention room by bailiffs, and all the spectators left the courtroom in an orderly manner under the guidance of the bailiffs.

Zeng Yichen walked out of the courtroom, and for a moment he didn't know where to go.

He shook his head helplessly, wondering how he had suddenly become all alone. Turning his head, he happened to see Qin Wenzhou refusing the court's offer of a lounge for important visitors, and then hurrying toward the VIP exit.

Zeng Yichen remembered that he was still holding Qin Wenzhou's briefcase and wanted to return it to him as soon as possible, so he quickly followed after him.

"Uncle Qin..."

As soon as Zeng Yichen opened his mouth, he saw Ji Ran and Qi Mu suddenly appear at the end of the corridor.

Hearing the voice, Qin Wenzhou turned his head and saw that the person who came was Zeng Yichen, whose face was expressionless:

"Is there a problem?"

Zeng Yichen stepped forward and handed the briefcase to Qin Wenzhou.

"Sorry, here you go..."

Qin Wenzhou looked down at the bag, then looked up at Zeng Yichen's bewildered face.

Seeing his withered appearance, Qin Wenzhou ultimately didn't say anything harsh, but simply reached out and took the bag.

But Zeng Yichen remained standing in the same spot, not leaving.

"Is there anything else?" Qin Wenzhou asked, but his tone clearly implied urging.

Zeng Yichen lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly, but still didn't move.

Qin Wenzhou was clearly getting impatient.

At this moment, Ji Ran and Qi Mu had also walked up to them. Zeng Yichen suddenly bent down and bowed deeply.

"I'm sorry, Commander Qi..."

All three were taken aback, especially Ji Ran.

Why does Zeng Yichen always pull this stunt? He's already apologized twice already.

But when Zeng Yichen straightened up again, his face was covered with tears, and his eyes were red.

Even Qin Wenzhou was startled and couldn't help but look at his own Qi Mu.

Qi Mu, however, remained calm.

"You have nothing to apologize for."

Zeng Yichen bit his lip, tears welling up in his eyes.

How could it not be?

Because of the filthy desires of his blood relatives, such a noble person, whose life was originally bright and promising, died tragically in that dark basement.

He himself, however, has been enjoying the wealth and resources that his blood relatives obtained by exchanging the blood of others.

How could he not have wronged him?

“I will atone for Zeng Nian’s sins,” Zeng Yichen said with a hint of stubbornness in his trembling voice. “No matter what the cost, I will do my best to make amends for the rest of my life.”

Qi Mu simply looked at him calmly, without saying anything more.

Zeng Yichen didn't intend to bother them any further. He had returned the bag and it was time for him to leave.

He bowed to Qi Mu again, then resolutely turned and left.

Qin Wenzhou was still staring thoughtfully at Zeng Yichen's back when Ji Ran snatched the canvas bag from his back and carried it herself.

"Huh?" Qin Wenzhou was startled and subconsciously turned around. "Xiao Ran, I'll carry it for you."

Ji Ran tilted her head, looking disdainful, then she looked at Qin Wenzhou with a puzzled expression:

"Why are you all out here? It can't be over already, can it?"

Qin Wenzhou shook his head and replied:

"The court is now in recess and will resume in an hour."

After he finished speaking, he subconsciously turned his head to look at both sides, and was then relieved that this was the VIP passage, where there was almost no one.

Ji Ran was speechless when she saw that he always looked like a thief.

"So what do we do now? Are we just going to stand here staring at each other?"

Qin Wenzhou glanced at his watch, thinking that he didn't have enough time to go anywhere else in an hour, so he had no choice but to stay here.

"Let's go to the lounge; it's too crowded here to talk."

Ji Ran and Qi Mu exchanged a glance, then nodded.

Zeng Yichen was somewhat lost and disoriented. He had nowhere to go and could only wander around.

Little did he know that Jiang Manxi, who was behind him, had witnessed the entire scene. She was also filled with disbelief. She knew that she seemed to have discovered something incredible, but she didn't even have the courage to go up to Zeng Yichen to confirm. She just subconsciously followed Zeng Yichen.

Unbeknownst to him, Zeng Yichen stepped out of the hall.

Sharp-eyed reporters immediately swarmed around.

"Mr. Zeng Yichen! What are your thoughts on the things your father did?"

"Mr. Zeng Yichen, did your father really force Yuan Yamei to marry into the family? Don't you and your brother have any objections?"

"Mr. Zeng, you personally provided evidence detrimental to your own father. Was it truly to uphold justice and eliminate your own family, or was it to extricate yourself from the situation?"

"Mr. Zeng, is it true that your father imprisoned your mother for twenty years? Were you completely unaware of this during that time? What about your older brother? Did he also not know?"

"And another thing, was your older brother really shot by your father?"

"Mr. Zeng, what is the current relationship between your elder brother and your ex-sister-in-law? Is their divorce a sham? Why was it your ex-sister-in-law who submitted the evidence on behalf of your elder brother?"

"Mr. Zeng, you buried 16 corpses in your house. Are you really completely unaware? Didn't you smell anything? Please explain."

"Mr. Zeng, your stepmother's illegitimate daughter secretly took photos of you in private. What are your thoughts on this? You've been together since childhood, do you really have no feelings for her? Answer me."

……

Zeng Yichen, pale-faced, reacted to the scene. He tried to turn around and hide back inside the courthouse, but the reporter, who had finally managed to catch the party involved, was as excited and aggressive as a cat that had caught a mouse.

They surrounded Zeng Yichen tightly, giving him no chance to leave.

"I have nothing to say, please move aside." Zeng Yichen escaped through the gap.

No one knows who knocked him to the ground, but even so, no one offered him any help. Instead, they followed him relentlessly with microphones and cameras.

In the chaos, his hands and feet were stepped on several times, and the sound of bones breaking could be heard clearly.

"Hiss..." He couldn't help but cry out in pain.

But the reporters, like wolves and tigers, still had no intention of letting him go.

"Get out of my way!"

Suddenly, a clear female voice rang out, and a girl rushed over forcefully.

Jiang Manxi used all her strength to try to push these people away, but she was simply powerless to do so.
