He broke his vows for her, and a tycoon descended to earth for love.
Chapter 9 Acquitted
Siyi's face darkened, and she realized that things were not going well. If a new witness appeared in court, it would undoubtedly be detrimental to them in every way!
She subconsciously turned her head to look at Jiang Yan Hui, who was just getting up from the witness stand.
For a fleeting moment, Siyi felt as if everything before her eyes was a dream—
He is like someone caught between light and shadow, pulled by both light and darkness. In public, he is just as the rumors suggest.
Unruly, lazy yet bloodless, and unfathomable.
In that instant when their eyes met, Siyi clearly saw a flicker of ambiguous passion dancing in his deep gaze—
She didn't know why, but her heart started pounding, and that feeling of utter confusion returned.
Jiang Yan returns...
She looked away in a panic, took a deep breath to calm her racing heart, and told herself that she must not lose her composure.
We mustn't panic! That man must have done it on purpose! He must have done it on purpose!
She absolutely must win this lawsuit and not let that man affect her mood. Yes!
Everything about her and him was just a ridiculous and absurd dream. Don't think about it anymore!
She picked up her water glass and took a big gulp, which calmed her turbulent emotions a little.
Soon, new witnesses were summoned to court.
The witness's name is Chen Jun, 32 years old, and he has been working at Jinzuo Entertainment City for about a year.
Ye Siyi glanced at the witness's information briefly, constantly telling herself to calm down, she had to calm down.
She knew she would have to act according to the situation, and Kang Dashang's sudden attack had really caught her off guard.
The witnesses appeared in court, and the defense attorney began the usual questioning process—
"Mr. Chen Jun, do you know Mr. Yu Chengfeng, who is in the defendant's dock?"
"know."
"Who is he to you?"
"Mr. Yu Chengfeng is my boss."
"And what about Mr. Jiang Yanhui?"
Chen Jun seemed hesitant, his hands nervously twisting together before he slowly spoke after a moment.
“Young Master Jiang… rarely comes to Jinzuo, and even when he does, we may not be able to see him in person. I’m really not very familiar with Young Master Jiang, and I’ve also rarely seen Young Master Yu. Although I work at Jinzuo, I’m not directly under Young Master Jiang’s control.”
"Is the 'Young Master Yu' you're referring to the same Mr. Yu Chengfeng who's in the dock?"
"Yes."
"On April 10, 2013, at 5:40 PM, Jinzuo Entertainment claimed that a female college student died on the spot due to a drug overdose. Are you aware of this incident?"
"I...I know, I know."
"Did you already know beforehand, or did you find out after seeing the news?"
"I...I knew about it when it happened..."
Attorney Kang raised an eyebrow, looking at him with a half-smile, "Judging from what you just said, it seems you're at most a waiter at the entertainment center, isn't that right?"
"Yes, it is."
“Mr. Chen Jun, there’s no need to be nervous. I just need you to honestly tell the jury and the judge present here, why did you, a mere waiter, know about this? Were you present at the time?”
Chen Jun seemed to grow increasingly nervous, his expression stiff. After a long pause, he said, word by word, "Because...because I orchestrated this whole thing. I wanted to frame Mr. Yu Chengfeng. I did it all by myself..."
Siyi's eyes widened suddenly—
Even the jury looked at each other in bewilderment.
The judge quickly signaled for silence.
Siyi subconsciously glanced at Ye Zhenghao in the audience, only to see him gently shake his head—
She immediately understood that even her elder brother didn't know this witness, which clearly meant he had come prepared! He had actually taken the blame for all the crimes, so not only would Jiang Yan be acquitted, but even Yu Chengfeng would be released without charge...
Half an hour later.
"Siyi, don't overthink it. Someone will have to take the blame at the last minute. Nobody expected this."
In the court parking lot, Ye Zhenghao comforted Siyi, saying that he knew the chances of winning the case were not high, after all, Jiang Yan's huge legal team was not easy to deal with.
However, he was quite surprised that a Cheng Yaojin would suddenly appear out of nowhere.
I'd always thought that if I couldn't convict Jiang Yanhui, I should at least arrest Yu Chengfeng, but I never expected...
Actually, Siyi played very well in the first half, but I didn't expect her performance to take a sharp turn for the worse in the second half.
As expected, Jiang Yan was not so easy to deal with.
Zheng Muyan then stepped forward to comfort Siyi, "Yes, Siyi, in my opinion, you performed very well."
Siyi seemed a little absent-minded. "I'm fine, big brother. I'm sorry, you've been keeping an eye on this person for so long, but I still couldn't help you."
"Silly girl," Ye Zhenghao chuckled, patting her shoulder. "You've done very well. This is your first time in court, and I was worried you'd be nervous, but you truly are the pride of the Ye family. Actually, that's how it is for us police officers; it's not the first time. Often, we're about to catch those drug dealers, but in court, we still manage to get them off the hook. So it's not your fault, don't overthink it. Your senior brother and I agree; you performed exceptionally well."
Siyi forced a smile, but felt somewhat uneasy inside.
She knew that her unease was not because of the lawsuit, but because of Jiang Yanhui.
In court, she forced herself to remain calm, but at this moment, once that tension eased, all the negative emotions surged up, and she found her body trembling uncontrollably—
She actually had a one-night stand with Jiang Yan! That's utterly absurd!
"Big brother, senior brother, don't worry, I'm fine."
She avoided the two men's gaze by brushing a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "I have some things to do this afternoon. You guys go back to work. My car is up ahead."
Ye Zhenghao had a lot of things to deal with at the police station, so he didn't stay long. After saying a few more words, he drove away.
Zheng Muyan originally wanted to spend some more time with Siyi, but his phone rang at that moment. He took it out and said apologetically, "It's a call from the firm."
She smiled and said, "Senior, go ahead and get busy. If I can't even accept such a small failure, then I might as well quit the legal profession. Don't worry."
Zheng Muyan knew that Siyi had a strong personality, but she was definitely not the type to dwell on things. Hearing her say that, he felt relieved. "Go home and get some rest. You've lost a lot of weight lately because of this case. Okay, I'll contact you later if anything comes up."
Siyi watched Zheng Muyan leave before turning and walking towards the parking lot.
Her assistant had already taken all the documents she needed for the lawsuit. As she walked, she looked down and searched for her car keys in her bag. Just as her fingers touched the metal keychain, a pair of shiny leather shoes suddenly appeared before her eyes—
She paused, her gaze gradually moving upwards from the leather shoes. First, she saw the high-quality black trousers with perfectly straight legs, then she saw the man's hands casually tucked into his pockets, and a little further up, a white shirt.
Every button is a diamond.
Ye Siyi sneered inwardly, "Idiot!"
