Li Tingshen loosened his grip.

Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips and endured the pain. She retracted her hand and stepped out of the door.

Ye Lixun sat on the judging panel. When she saw her, although she was a little apologetic, she said confidently, Dont be afraid. Ive hired the most professional team to protect you.

Ye Qingqiu nodded. How are Grandpa and Dad?

Dont worry.

Then, she was brought to the defendants seat.

Li Tingshen walked slowly to the plaintiffs seat and sat down.

The two of them looked up and saw each others faces.

The two people who used to sleep in the same bed were now standing in court.

She leaned against the handcuffs and stood in the middle of the court. She was locked in the control panel while Li Tingshen sat in the plaintiffs seat.

These two positions made Ye Qingqiu feel sad and ridiculous.

She had always known how shameless she was in the past. She had tried her best to pester him. She had done so much and sacrificed so much. Until now

She was as shameless as she was back then.

What did it mean?

What a joke.

Court started.

The judges hammer fell, striking Ye Qingqius heart.

The plaintiff wanted to sue Ye Qingqiu for intentional a.s.sault.

Ye Qingqiu clenched her fists tightly, her body trembling.

This was a term that was only heard in television dramas and law cla.s.ses. She did not expect that she would stand in court one day and be accused.

As the plaintiff, Li Tingshen naturally hired a team of lawyers.

The client took out all his information.

Including what happened in the ward.

The first half of the statement was basically the same as what Ye Qingqiu had recorded. Ye Qingqiu had also admitted it.

Miss Ye, how was Madam Lians mood back then?

She recalled everything that had happened in the ward. She closed her eyes and said, Shes a lunatic.

So, Miss Ye, you knew that Madam Lian had mental problems, but you still said those words to provoke her, right?

Is it illegal for me to bicker with her?

Ye Qingqius team protested, The plaintiffs words are suspected of intentional seduction. The lunatic that Miss Ye mentioned is different from Madam Lians mental illness. In fact, she doesnt know that Madam Lian has a mental illness.

Ye Qingqiu was stunned for a moment before she looked at Li Tingshen. A trace of doubt flashed across her eyes, but it was fleeting.

Yes, I dont know. The lunatic Im talking about is her original unconventional remark, and the way she stabbed herself with a knife If this isnt a lunatic, what is?

The judge decided that the objection was valid.

At the hospital.

Lian Lili woke up and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

In the end, she closed her eyes because of the discomfort.

In less than a minute, the door to the ICU opened and two nurses came over to sterilize the room.

Did you see the news online? Mr Li has sued the eldest daughter of the Ye family. The court session is today.

I saw it. Arent the two of them getting married soon? And isnt that Mr Li this patients son? His mother almost lost her life. Even if shes already married, she cant be forgiven so easily.

How ruthless. A night as husband and wife will last forever. Miss Yes father is still in the intensive care unit and is in danger at any time. Why must he do this now

Its indeed tragic

The two of them didnt dare to say much and left a few minutes later.

Lian Lili opened her eyes again and stood up from the bed.

Her face was pale as she staggered out of the ICU. She had only taken a few steps when blood seeped out of her chest, staining her clothes and pants red.

The alarm suddenly sounded and she was stopped by the doctors and nurses.

Let go of me

Where is Ye Jianyuns ward

Im going to find him

Sword cloud Sword cloud

*

The plaintiffs lawyer tried his best to find clues to convict Ye Qingqiu, but they were all refuted by Ye Qingqiu.

Although there was no result, Ye Qingqiu could feel it

Li Tingshen really wanted to convict her.

She looked at the expressionless man in silence and suddenly sneered.

He didnt believe her.

He didnt believe what she had done either.

He wanted to send her to the Bureau of Justice for the theft of the program.

He wanted to seek justice for her severely injured mother. Then, he would sue her.

She felt that there was nothing in this world that hurt her more than this.

But she was too naive.

When the plaintiff put away the doc.u.ment, he stood up and said respectfully to the judge, Please help us to publicize our witness.

Witness

Ye Qingqius cold eyes suddenly froze.

A witness?

When she turned her head and saw the person wrapped in gauze being pushed out of the wheelchair, her vision blurred and she felt dizzy.

She suddenly tightened her grip on the railing. The sound of the door opening and closing echoed in the courtroom. She turned her head abruptly to look at the man sitting at the plaintiffs seat.

You want her to be a witness?!

The plaintiffs lawyer said solemnly, Miss Ye, according to our understanding of the situation, according to your statement, there were three of you in the room back then. Moreover, Miss Liang Xuer has always been conscious. When you and Madam Lian had an argument, she even stopped you.

Ye Qingqiu stared at Li Tingshen and said, Do you know who hates me the most in this world? Li Tingshen! You might as well kill me now!

Li Tingshens calm eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the railing opposite him. Every trace of blood in his eyes represented her hatred and anger towards him.

The judge hammered repeatedly and shouted, Silence!

Li Tingshen retracted his gaze calmly.

The judge continued, Let the witness take the oath.

Liang Xuer was pushed to the witness stand. After swearing the oath, she was instructed by the judge, Please speak.

If there was any false testimony, she would have to bear the legal responsibility and other consequences.

However, when she thought of the look in Lian Lilis eyes when he called her name and the fact that she would never have a second chance, she gritted her teeth and said slowly,

Aunt Lians words were indeed a little sharp back then, causing the defendant to be dissatisfied. On the contrary, she deliberately used words to provoke Aunt Lian. Aunt Lian was indeed angry and slashed the air with the fruit knife a few times, but she didnt really hurt the defendant. On the contrary, the defendant was angry that Aunt Lian didnt accept the relations.h.i.+p between her and Li Tingshen. In a fit of anger, she s.n.a.t.c.hed the knife from Aunt Lians hand and stabbed Aunt Lians chest.

Ye Lixun suddenly stood up. Liangxuer? Youd better tell me the truth!

Liang Xuers clenched fingers trembled, but she pretended to be calm. This is a court of law. Ive just sworn an oath. Naturally, I wont lie.

Ye Qingqiu stared at Li Tingshen the entire time. After the judge ordered silence again, she said slowly, Do you believe her?

Li Tingshen pursed his lips and didnt answer. At this moment, the door to the court was suddenly opened.

Xiao Chu held her phone, her face pale and ugly.

He walked to the jury stand and looked at Li Tingshen with a complicated expression. President Li something happened

Li Tingshen had never seen Xiao Chu look like that before. His heart tightened and he asked in a low voice, What happened?

Xiao Chu glanced at Ye Qingqiu, who was sitting at the defense table. She opened her mouth and hesitated for a moment before saying, Something happened at the hospital

Li Tingshen sat up from the plaintiffs seat with a sinister expression. Im asking you what happened!

At this moment, Ye Lixuns phone started to vibrate.

It was a call from the hospital. She glanced at Xiao Chu in confusion before getting up and answering the call. However, before she could take two steps, she froze on the spot.

What what did you say?

Someone beside the judge was saying something to him.

Xiao Chus silence and everyones actions made Li Tingshens eyebrows swell.

He pinched his eyebrows and turned to face the judge. I propose to suspend this

However, the judge spoke before him regretfully, Theres news from the hospital just now. Madam Lian Lili has been confirmed dead. I have the right to change the crime of intentional a.s.sault to intentional homicide.

Li Tingshens hands tightened into fists.

Ye Qingqius mind went blank and she subconsciously looked at Li Tingshen.

In that instant, she wasnt thinking about the so-called intentional homicide that was about to be pinned on her. Instead, she was thinking about how sad he would be after suffering such a serious blow.

What intentional murder?!!

A sharp voice that Ye Lixun had never heard before suddenly sounded from the jury. Her eyes were red as she wanted to rush into the court, but she was stopped by two law enforcement officers.

What murder? That woman killed my brother! Shes the real murderer! I want to sue her!

Boom

Ye Qingqius gaze on Li Tingshen froze.

It was as if something had exploded in his head.

Li Tingshens eyes narrowed and his temples throbbed.

Even though he tried his best to remind himself to calm down, he couldnt suppress the panic in his heart.

He turned to look at Xiao Chu, but Xiao Chu looked away with an ugly expression.

Ye Qingqiu slowly reacted and turned to look at Ye Lixun. Her lips twitched in disbelief as she revealed an ugly smile. Her tears fell first.

Aunt Aunt, what did you just say Your brother is dead Which brother?

How many brothers can I have? Qingqiu! Its your father Your father is dead

Ye Lixun closed her eyes and slumped onto the seat beside her.

Tears streamed down Ye Qingqius face unconsciously, but she still shook her head in disbelief.

No I dont believe it My father has been saved. Hes in the ICU ward now and is being taken care of well

Its all because of that woman. She broke into your fathers ward and told him about you being sued

Ye Qingqiu, who had been shaking her head, paused for a moment before continuing to shake her head. Her face was pale.

No No I dont believe it How could my father die

Ye Lixun collapsed on the chair. That woman died in front of your fathers bed That woman wanted to drag your father along even if she died

Ah

A sharp shout suddenly resounded throughout the court.

Everyone froze in shock.

Ye Qingqiu raised her hands and hugged her head tightly, screaming with all her might.

The court had never encountered such a situation before. Everyone in the court seemed to have frozen. For more than two minutes, no one dared to say a word.

An unprecedented fear suddenly surged in Li Tingshens heart. After a long while, he reacted and turned to look at the judge.

I request that the trial be suspended.

The judge snapped back to reality and looked at Ye Qingqius condition. He coughed lightly and cleared his throat. In that case

Theres no need to pause

A hoa.r.s.e voice sounded slowly.

Everyone looked at the owner of the voice

Ye Qingqiu lowered her hand and straightened her body in an extremely slow motion. She raised her head and looked at the judge opposite her. Her gaze and voice were empty

I admit it.

There was dead silence in the courtroom again.

After a while, Ye Qingqiu continued, I killed someone. I admit that Im a murderer. I admit it!

Qingqiu!

Li Tingshen felt as if he had been smashed by a heavy hammer, and his heart seemed to be clenched tightly.

His handsome features suddenly distorted. He clenched his fists tightly and growled at the judge, I want to withdraw the lawsuit!

I wont accept the dismissal. Im a murderer and the judge is here. Are they going to let a murderer like me go?

Ye Qingqius calm voice was like a ghost muttering, empty and hoa.r.s.e.

Li Tingshen roared angrily, Ye Qingqiu!

Ye Qingqiu suddenly gave him a calm but ugly smile.

Isnt this what you want? I cant leave.

Looking at Li Tingshens twisted face, she forced a smile. Im not leaving, but I wont stay by your side either.

At that moment, Li Tingshen felt like all the nerves in his body were broken.

His voice was so hoa.r.s.e that it sounded like it was coming out of his chest.

Ye Qingqiu, you didnt kill anyone. Dont spout nonsense here

Im a murderer.

If his father hadnt had a heart attack in the beginning, he wouldnt have died now.

If she hadnt chosen to save Lian Lili and Liang Xuer, Brother Ye Ze wouldnt have died.

Because of her stupidity, two of her closest relatives had died.

She was indeed a murderer.

She deserved to die.

She naturally had to atone for her sins.

To atone for the deaths of her father and Brother Ye Ze.

Did she hate Li Tingshen?

Hate.

So she used this method to take revenge on him.

Song Muchen said that a child who wouldnt cry would have no candy to eat. The more considerate and sensible he was, the easier it was for him to become a background. Leaving a scar on his body was better than leaving no trace. The more pain he felt, the more likely he would win

The more he hurt, the more she would win

Seeing Li Tingshens shocked expression, Ye Qingqiu was even more certain that she had won.

Who asked him to love her

Li Tingshen, Ill compensate you with the shares of the Ye Corporation. If you want to pursue the matter, you can continue to accuse me. Anyway, Im a murderer, so I dont care about a few more years.

She paused and raised her chin, just like the arrogant Ye Qingqiu.

Lets do it today. Theres no grudge between us. After parting, we can go our separate ways. You can go your way and Ill go to prison. We will never meet again.
