Refusing to marry into a wealthy family, the richest man's uncle coaxed me into marriage

The video in the hotel box came to an abrupt end here. The picture froze for one second on Si Tong's desperate and broken face, and then jumped to the law enforcement surveillance picture of the trial.

As the judge struck the gavel, the majestic verdict rang out: "The defendant Si Tong, for causing death by excessive self-defense, is sentenced to four years and two months in prison and deprived of political rights for life."

The scene changed again.

A middle-aged woman in a prison uniform said to the camera in a flattering manner: "Mrs. Lu, I helped you teach that little bitch a lesson again during this period. I'll make a video for you to make you happy."

Then the camera turned and a hand pushed open a heavy, closed iron door. It was dark inside and the hand pressed the switch on the wall outside the door.

The room suddenly lit up.

A figure in a blue prison uniform huddled in the corner, shoulder-length hair scattered over his face. The figure was very thin, and curled up into a small ball.

The middle-aged woman walked over and kicked the person on the ground. "I haven't let her eat or drink for five days. Now she will eat anything you give her."

Seeing that the person on the ground was motionless, he squatted down, grabbed her hair and pulled it back. Si Tong raised her face, her face was pale, there was no trace of blood on her lips, and her eyes were empty.

"Not dead."

The middle-aged woman seemed to feel that it was unlucky and left her alone. Then, in the camera, a plump white bun was thrown on the ground and a foot stepped on it and crushed it hard.

"It's your reward. Eat it."

Si Tong didn't move.

The middle-aged woman was not happy with her reaction and kicked her again and again, "Damn it, hurry up and eat it. Didn't you eat it before? Now you are getting angry?"

Si Tong's eyes were lifeless and his hair was messy. He still didn't move at all, and there was not even a trace of expression on his face. He looked like a soulless, exquisite and broken doll that had been discarded casually.

The video ends here and the picture freezes.

Four years and four months of darkness were condensed into this short video of less than ten minutes.

The hall was dead silent.

Si Tong stood on the stage with her back straight, the spotlight shining on her. The moment before, she was radiant and the center of attention.

He was completely different from the miserable prisoner on the big screen behind him, as if they were not the same person.

But at this moment, Si Tong's lifeless eyes were exactly the same as those of the girl in prison uniform behind him.

She looked quietly at the audience. Countless pairs of eyes were looking at her, and everyone's face was filled with surprise.

In the blink of an eye, this mathematical genius who was amazed and stunned by everyone, and the top scorer in the college entrance examination, turned into a murderer.

Si Tong's gaze finally paused on Yu Hanshen's face.

The man's eyes were still deep and calm, unfathomable, making it difficult to detect his emotions. But at this moment, Si Tong felt his shock, surprise and disbelief from his calm eyes.

His shoulders were still broad and solid, steady and reliable, as if he was worth relying on for a lifetime. However, Si Tong knew that she would never be able to lean on his chest again and listen to his steady and strong heartbeat.

The distance between her and him was only five meters. If Yu Hanshen took bigger steps, he could reach her in three or five steps, or if she ran over, it would only take two seconds.

But at this moment, this short distance seemed like a mountain or sea, impossible to cross.

After a moment of dead silence, a reporter suddenly shouted from the back of the audience: "No wonder I felt that the name and appearance of this No. 1 were familiar. It turns out that he is the two-timing murderer from five years ago!"

When he shouted, other media reporters at the scene also remembered.

That incident caused quite a stir in Haicheng, but it belonged to the legal section, and their financial reporters only heard about it but did not follow up on the report.

The provincial top scholar turned out to be a fickle murderer. Once this news is released, it will surely cause a sensation on the entire Internet and dominate the hot searches.

The media reporters scattered around the performance hall suddenly seemed to react and swarmed to the front of the stage, surrounding Si Tong tightly.

"Can you tell me why you took the initiative to celebrate Lu Mingxuan's birthday? And why did you resist so fiercely? Is there any hidden reason behind this? Or is it a tactic of you trying to give in but still give in?"

"Is the man who suddenly appeared in the video and saved you your biological brother? He died trying to save you. Did you ever feel grateful that he saved you?"

"I heard that your private life was chaotic five years ago. Is that true?"

"It is said that you were dating Yu Zhiheng, the eldest grandson of the richest family, Yu Zhiheng. Is that true? Are you still in touch now?"

"Ms. Si, please answer the question!"

"..."

Reporters, armed with cameras and long guns, rushed to ask questions, each one more direct and aggressive than the other, wishing to get to the bottom of Si Tong's private life.

They didn't care about the truth. Even though it was obvious from the video that Lu Mingxuan had bad intentions, they turned a blind eye and only wanted to dig out more explosive content to attract attention in the media.

Si Tong's ears were buzzing. She watched countless mouths opening and closing in front of her, but she couldn't hear a single word.

Seeing that she refused to answer, the reporters became agitated and kept pushing their way onto the stage, forcing Si Tong to retreat back and forth until her back was pressed against the big screen with no way to retreat.

"Ms. Si, have you ever told the person in charge of Zhimo Institute that you are a murderer? Once your identity is exposed, it will be a fatal blow to Zhimo Institute. Have you ever thought about it?"

"How dare you, a murderer, come to such a grand occasion to give a speech? Or do you want to use your beauty to become famous on the Internet so that you can find a sponsor for yourself?"

Si Tong's thin figure was squeezed by a group of people. The flash lights kept clicking, as if trying to capture every expression on her face. The blazing white light made her face look pale.

The scene was in chaos. At this moment, a tall and straight figure pushed through the crowd and squeezed in. Regardless of the public occasion and Si Tong's shameful identity that had just been exposed, he embraced her in his arms.

Si Tong looked up in surprise and saw Yu Hanshen's angular jawline. The man's face was serious and steady, and his calm gaze was filled with deep authority.

She subconsciously wanted to break free and stay away from him. The dirty water on her would damage his reputation.

But the strength of his embrace on her back was as strong as usual.

Si Tong was hugged so that his whole body lay in Yu Han's arms, his cheek pressed against his chest, and he could hear the man's strong and steady heartbeat again.

My sight was completely occupied by the white shirt he was wearing.

Yu Hanshen's sudden appearance and obvious protective attitude startled the reporters for a moment.

After they reacted, everyone's eyes were filled with excitement and excitement, as if they had discovered some great news.

"Boss Yu, what is your relationship with Miss Si? Why did you come out to defend her? Is it because she is your nephew's ex-girlfriend?"

"Or are you also moved by Miss Si's beauty?"

Perhaps because what happened tonight was too shocking, these reporters seemed to have forgotten that the person standing in front of them was the head of the top prestigious Yu family.
