Chapter 395 The Seventh Spring

Meng Anran glanced at Kenai, her cold hand resting on his clenched fist. Meeting his stunned eyes, she said calmly, "Stay calm when you see Bai Yujin tomorrow. We're going to win this trial. Don't let your emotions cloud your thinking."

Kenai took a deep breath, suppressed his surging emotions, and nodded silently.

Lin Rencheng sat on the sofa on the other side, an IV drip still hooked to his right hand. He stared at the document on the table, reading it over and over again.

"Such a major case is usually prosecuted by the procuratorate, and victims are not allowed to file a private prosecution."

He was always confused and didn't understand how Meng Anran managed to get the court to agree to convert the public prosecution case into a private prosecution case.

"No, these are two different cases."

Meng Anran pulled out another document and placed it in front of Lin Rencheng. "Bai Yujin privately manufactured banned drugs and disguised them as health supplements to sell to vulnerable groups. This is a counterfeit drug fraud case. The procuratorate has filed a public prosecution and sentenced the entire criminal gang."

She tapped the document he had been reading with her fingertips.

"This is a case involving Bai Yujin conducting human experiments. The victim group is relatively small, and only a few of the victims' families can be traced. Therefore, Kenai is representing the prosecution, suing Bai Yujin and Kong Liang, who participated in the drug's development. We also found and submitted the evidence ourselves."

After hearing this, Lin Rencheng understood.

Tomorrow's trial is their private prosecution case.

As long as the court does not recognize Bai Yujin's mental diagnosis report, the subsequent public prosecution will naturally not reduce Bai Yujin's sentence.

The cell phone rang in the quiet ward. Meng Anran glanced at the caller ID - Lu Yi.

"What's wrong?" She answered the phone.

Lu Yi didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point: "Is Bai Yujin's case going to court tomorrow?"

Meng Anran's eyes froze for a moment, unable to guess what his purpose was in asking this question suddenly. "What do you want to do?"

"Don't be so defensive of me like a thief!" Lu Yi smiled nonchalantly, his tone not serious at all. "After all, I'm a victim too. I've been abused for thirty years. It's not too much to want to testify in court and step on her, right?"

"You want to go to court?" Meng Anran's brows suddenly knitted together, his expression cold and displeased. "Don't go crazy, I don't have time for you!"

"I'm serious." Lu Yi lazily lay on the sofa, his thumb running across the faded name on the cover of The Kite Runner on his knees. "Testifying in court is also considered to be revenge for my friend."

"Friend?" Meng Anran raised an eyebrow. "Who?"

"A poor girl ended her life by suicide."

Another suicide.

Meng Anran gritted her teeth and said, "Bai Yujin will never be exonerated, but you can't appear in court. If others knew you had been through a drug experiment, how would you live your life in the future?"

"Sister, are you worried about me?" Lu Yi's laughter was particularly playful, but it seemed more like a deliberate provocation, forcing Meng Anran to sing against him.

Meng Anran cursed angrily: "You're sick!"

Last week, she received the news that Lu Yi had signed up for the Bayinke Car Race in August. She was relieved that this guy finally knew how to find something to do.

And it's only been a few days? He wants to testify in court again. If it's confirmed that he was used for drug modification, which racing competition will allow him to compete in the future?

Lu Yi seemed to guess what she was worried about and said lightly, "The research and development of the second-generation antidote seems to be progressing well. From what that bastard Lu Heng said, the toxins in my body can be completely eliminated before the August race."

Smart people never need to waste words when communicating; they can understand each other's meaning in just a few words.

Meng Anran was stunned for a moment, then sighed secretly after thinking for a long time, "I'm going to submit new witness information to the court. The trial will start at 10 am tomorrow, so remember to be there on time."

I thought I would need to persuade her a few more times, but I didn't expect her attitude to change so suddenly. Lu Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled again: "My young master is never late."

Meng Anran rolled her eyes, "Also, don't drive in!"

"I don't dare to enter a government agency." Lu Yi rolled his eyes and hung up the phone.

Throwing down his phone, he lightly brushed his fingers over the faded small words in the corner of the book's title page.

My fingertips traced the word "Ling" in the signature, as if I saw an old friend I hadn't seen for a long time across time and space.

He didn't notice that a hint of red was gradually turning up at the corners of his eyes.

The seductive thin lips moved slightly, and a very soft murmur came out: "The seventh spring is finally coming to an end..."

At the trial the next day, more people unexpectedly came to join in the fun than expected.

Apart from Liu Zhi, who had already agreed to come and see Bai Yujin's fate, even Song Xu and Situ Huajian put aside their work and came to the scene.

Song Xu was still in high spirits and looked energetic.

Situ Huajian was accompanied by Lillian, and his complexion and mental state were obviously much better than the last time they met.

It was a rare opportunity to see him, so Meng Anran immediately pinched Situ Huajian's pulse.

The pulse is steady and strong, very healthy.

Seeing her expression relax, Lillian quickly said, as if to take credit for it, "I took him to Fushoutang last week and had the headmaster take his pulse. The Chinese medicine you prescribed was very effective. All the toxins in his lungs have been cleared."

"Well, after a long period of recuperation, you can do some proper exercise to restore your physical strength."

Meng Anran's gaze fell on Situ Huajian's still somewhat frail face, and she couldn't help but apologize again: "It was my negligence to involve you. Fortunately, it can finally come to an end today."

Situ Huajian didn't seem to care about being implicated and forced a faint smile: "Bai Yujin has caused me a lot of trouble. I deliberately turned down two meetings today just to gloat over her misfortune."

Meng Anran chuckled at his words and continued, "It seems Bai Yujin has a lot of enemies."

She turned to look at Song Xu, "Even President Song came to listen. Is he also planning to watch Bai Yujin's miserable state?"

"Half and half."

Song Xu hooked his fingers around the bow tie and pulled it down. There was no need to strangle himself to the point of suffocation in non-business situations.

He explained what he had just said: "First, before the Lu Group collapsed, it suppressed our Lihai Group a lot. This is purely a long-standing grudge;

"Secondly, I was entrusted by Second Young Master Lu to take his blood analysis report and prepare to deliver the most fatal blow to Bai Yujin."

The toxins in Lu Yi's body were analyzed last time using the instruments of Haiyang Biotechnology Research Institute, and the institute has retained the blood analysis report.

Normally, a report could be delivered by any employee, but Song Xu, the group's president, had to go in person.

Obviously, the first reason he gave was true—he had a long-standing grudge against the Lu family.

Qin Mu glanced at his watch and said, "The court is about to start. Let's go inside and talk."

Meng Anran looked back at the busy road, a hint of uneasiness flashing in her eyes.

The court session is about to begin, why hasn’t Lu Yi arrived yet?
