The Genius Sweetheart of the Abstinent Goblin Boss

Putting aside the matter of forcing him to marry her, just the fact that they had been together for twenty years meant that she had a lot of dirt on him.

He hadn't been wary of her before because he thought she loved him deeply and couldn't live without him, but who knew that the bitch had such thoughts.

Zeng Nian repeatedly calculated in his mind how much chance of winning he still had, and how he could minimize his punishment.

Correct!

As long as Yingying stands firmly on my side, and as long as I don't imprison her, many things will lose their footing and can be easily resolved.

They only had a fight and impulsively divorced. Yingying had an accident, so as her ex-husband, I've been sending people to take care of her. Yuan Yamei is jealous of the care I've given Yingying, which is why she went crazy and started attacking me. She's just trying to get revenge on me by falling for someone else!

In that case, her testimony won't be credible at all!! Hahaha!

As long as he didn't imprison Yingying, Zeng Yichen and the others would have no reason to save their mother, and Zeng Yan would naturally not be shot by him.

Hahaha!! That's it!!

As for Qi Mu's death, those who knew about it back then have been secretly executed one by one over the years, and now Zeng Yan is in a vegetative state, so no one can testify against him anymore!

Even if Qi Mu's DNA could be extracted from the ring stolen by Zeng Yichen, Qi Mu's body had already been destroyed. Without the original body for comparison, who could prove that the DNA was Qi Mu's?

The river water and the corpse at home have nothing to do with me. I can push all of them onto Zeng Yan, or at the very least, Zeng Yichen. In short, as long as I keep denying it, it's all slander!

Having figured everything out, the storm in Zeng Nian's eyes gradually subsided. Now, he only needed to wait for one thing: to find a way to express his sincerity to Yingying and move her after she went on stage.

Thinking of the way she looked at him just now, Zeng Nian's eyes crinkled with a few lines of excitement.

She still loves him.

Presiding Judge: "The court is now adjourned and the trial is resuming. All personnel must remain silent. We will now continue the joint trial of the series of serious criminal offenses that the defendant Zeng Nian is suspected of. The prosecutor is now requested to continue presenting evidence."

The prosecutor stood up and nodded. "Your Honor, regarding the shooting of Zeng Yan, the battalion commander of the West Suburbs Military Camp, we request that witnesses An Yuanrang and Jing Ying appear in court to be questioned."

Presiding Judge: "Permission granted."

The thought that Yingying was about to speak up for him even stirred a similar flutter in Zeng Nian's heart as when he first fell in love with her.

Led by bailiffs, Jingying and An Yuanrang took their places as witnesses.

Feeling the intense gaze directed at her from Zeng Nian's direction, Jingying looked up and met his eyes. In that instant, she felt as if she had been transported back twenty years, when he had also gazed at her with the same affectionate look.

The difference is that she once truly felt happy, but it was precisely because she had truly been happy that she realized how ridiculous and disgusting that happiness was built on such hypocrisy.

Yet she still pretended to lower her eyes and gently purse her lips, making it seem as if she was longing for the love of yesteryear.

Zeng Yichen, who was in the audience, saw it all clearly. He frowned in confusion. What was Mom doing...?

"Witness An Yuanrang,"

The prosecutor began asking questions.

"Now let's go back to the case of your former son-in-law Zeng Yan being shot. You mentioned some specific details of the scene when you testified last time, but you also said that you were not at the scene, right?"

“Yes,” An Yuan replied calmly.

"So, were your specific descriptions based on your guesses or...?" the prosecutor continued to press.

“It’s not a guess,” An Yuan said firmly, “I saw it with my own eyes.”

As he spoke, he pulled out a USB drive from his pocket. "I need to submit evidence; the truth is on this USB drive."

Zeng Nian, who had been quite calm, suddenly felt inexplicably panicked the moment he saw the USB drive.

He then comforted himself, telling himself that he had thought it through many times and there was definitely no evidence that could definitively convict him.

It's definitely not important...

A hint of surprise flashed across the prosecutor's face, and he immediately consulted the presiding judge.

The presiding judge was also somewhat puzzled: "Witness An Yuanrang, since you have evidence, why didn't you submit it to the prosecution earlier?"

An Yuan lowered his eyes: "...Because...as an official...I don't trust the authorities."

In short, it is ambiguous yet clear.

The presiding judge didn't say anything more, and gestured for the bailiff to take the USB drive and connect the evidence to the large screen. Because it was an encrypted file, a progress bar was needed to decrypt it.

During this time, the prosecutor turned his attention to Jingying.

“Witness Jingying, since you are not dead, why have you disappeared for 20 years? Is this related to the defendant?”

coming!

Zeng Nian looked at Jing Ying expectantly, waiting for her to say something in his favor so that he could turn the tables.

Jingying glanced at Zeng Nian and forced a faint smile.

"Yes."

Zeng Nian's expression froze instantly.

“Yingying, you…”

The prosecutor turned around, his expression icy, and reminded him:

"Defendant, please do not interfere with the witness's answering of questions."

Zeng Nian bit her lip tightly, her eyes still filled with hope as she looked at Jing Ying.

She must have more to say! This must be her tactic. Yes, first admit to gain trust, then speak for herself to make her more convincing!

That must be it! Yuan Yamei's love was an act; I could sense it to some extent. But Yingying's love for me was so sincere and unreserved.

The prosecutor turned around and continued looking at Jingying:

"Was you imprisoned by the defendant?"

Jingying still looked at Zeng Nian with a faint smile.

"No."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Nian's eyes instantly filled with ecstatic joy.

Sure enough!! Yingying loves him!! Once he gets out, he must spend the rest of his life with Yingying. There will be no more Yuan Yamei between them, and there won't even be Zeng Yan, the son they both hate.

She will have all of his love, his complete love.

But he didn't notice that the warmth in Jingying's smile was gradually fading.

The prosecutor frowned, seemingly surprised that she would lie for Zeng Nian.

"Witness Jingying, are you saying that you weren't imprisoned by the defendant?"

"Yes." Jingying's tone was so calm that it revealed not a trace of emotion.

"He didn't imprison me, he just..."

The tone suddenly shifted, and the coldness in her eyes instantly transformed into a venomous ruthlessness.

"It completely destroyed my life!!"

Zeng Nian froze in his chair instantly. This rollercoaster of emotions made his blood boil.

“Ying…”

He wanted to call her name, but she looked away from him and instead glanced at her son in the audience, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes.

With just one glance, she stood up resolutely, turned to avoid the gaze of the audience, stretched out her arm, and pulled down her sleeve.

The surface was covered with dense, shocking scars.
