Chapter 272

272 Confession

“Brother, bring Father and Mother in first.” Le Yao looked at Han Xiangdong.

Han Xiangdong nodded and brought Han Baozhu and Liu Sujuan in first.

Le Yao looked at Yang Jinhan in surprise, then her gaze landed on Zhu Yibai’s face. “Young Master Zhu, do you think I should call you cousin?”

Zhu Yibai looked a little embarrassed. “Whatever.”

“Hehe.” Le Yao smiled.

“Then you’re really casual.” Qiao Qiao sneered and rolled her eyes cutely, revealing her disdain.

Zhu Yibai’s face stiffened. He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, he didn’t say anything. However, his eyes dimmed.

“The Zhu family is impressive.” Qian Meiqi laughed. “But, asking a tiger for its skin, in the end...” As she spoke, she spread her hands. The meaning behind her words was self-evident.

Wu Ya glanced at Hao Kai, feeling a little strange. Hao Kai shrugged. “Bai is Zhu Jiaojiao’s cousin.”

Wu Ya was enlightened and looked at Zhu Yibai with a complicated gaze.

Apart from a bitter smile, Zhu Yibai really didn’t know what expression to show.

At this moment, another car drove over. The door opened and Yang Jinxuan got out. He glanced at Nangong Jue and Le Yao with a complicated expression, but in the end, he entered the court first without saying anything.

Nangong Jue’s eyes darkened slightly.

Le Yao sighed in her heart. They had been brothers for so many years, but they had turned against each other for a woman. Fate was making a fool of them. However, didn’t this also indirectly show the power of the female protagonist?

“Brother Jue, let’s go.” Hao Kai glanced at Nangong Jue. “The court session is about to start.”

Nangong Jue nodded slightly, glanced at Le Yao, and entered the courtroom.

As it was a public hearing, all the major media outlets had gathered around early in the morning. Although there were limited seats inside and not many media outlets could enter, they could still receive first-hand information at the door.

However, no one dared to take a photo of the scene just now because if anyone dared to report anything that Nangong Jue did not allow, they would have to wait for their downfall. Therefore, everyone could only watch from afar.

At nine o’clock, the trial officially began.

Le Yao was sitting below and watching. Because of her amnesia, she had sued Yan Zimeng. After all, so many people had died. Although her lawyer was very powerful, the police showed evidence after evidence, making the lawyer unable to defend himself. In the end, he could only plead for a lighter sentence.

The judge pronounced the sentence on the spot. Deferred death sentence, life imprisonment, and her political rights were deprived for life.

However, Le Yao realized that although Yan Zimeng was sad and afraid, she did not look desperate. Could it be that she still had a backup plan?

However, there was no time to think about it yet because Han Guosheng was next. As expected, someone else took the blame, and this person was his driver, Old Zhao.

Although they called him Old Zhao, he was actually only in his thirties. It was said that he was a retired soldier. Later on, he applied to be Han Guosheng’s driver. It had been seven or eight years. Anyway, with Han Binglan’s memory, Old Zhao had been in the Han family since she returned.

Old Zhao confessed. He said that he liked Han Xueqian, but because of his identity and age, he could only secretly pay attention to her. However, ever since Han Binglan returned, Han Xueqian had always been bullied. He really couldn’t bear to see this, so he wanted to kill her. He wanted to clear the obstacles for the woman he loved and even provided many details that were in line with the police’s investigation.
