Jiang Zhiyue awakened, realizing she was the early-dying white moonlight female supporting character in a noble academy novel. She was beautiful but poor, delicate and obedient. In the novel, she w...
Chapter 355 Trial
What could be more regrettable than witnessing the truth with your own eyes, only to watch it slip away from you?
When Zhong Ren said the last sentence, the fierce light in his eyes flashed scarlet, and he almost wanted to swallow Mrs. Sheng alive.
"I witnessed the truth many years ago! The truth is that you killed everyone! You murderer!"
The tone rose again, and under the crazy flash lights, it was destined that this drama would not end.
——The truth is you killed them all! You murderer!
Every word echoed in the air, and the entire hall fell into deathly silence.
Such an accusation is undoubtedly fatal.
The color disappeared from Mrs. Sheng's face, and I don't know if it was because of fear.
The tears on her face had not yet dried. She wiped away the tears and let them continue to roll down. "Your Sheng family is unwilling to accept me. Whatever I do is wrong."
"Mother!" Lin's mother called out immediately, "This is all just a trap. Director Zhong's son, right? He is just a man who has been locked up in a mental hospital for decades and has been declared dead in the newspaper. Can you take a madman's words seriously? Can the accusations of a person who faked his death also become the truth?"
"Do you really want to believe the accusations of a madman?"
"Mrs. Sheng, you only need to answer one question: Have you ever met my mother in the Fountain Square?" Jiang Zhiyue put her hand on the handle of the wheelchair and patted it twice.
The emotional Jongin finally managed to calm down while breathing heavily.
Old Madam Sheng looked at Jiang Zhiyue again. There were dazzling flashes of light all around them. If she just played the victim in this public celebration ceremony, she would be at a disadvantage.
After all, everyone present is a shrewd person, and the principle of "the innocent are innocent" does not apply to the circle of power and wealth.
Under Jiang Zhiyue's powerful accusation, Mrs. Sheng had to produce more powerful evidence. She could evade other questions, but she had to answer questions concerning Jiang Wanrou.
At this moment, even Mr. Sheng looked over.
After being married for decades, how could Mrs. Sheng not understand Mr. Sheng’s thoughts? The look in her eyes clearly showed that she was waiting for an explanation.
Regardless of whether what Zhong Ren said was true or not, the audience was filled with big shots in the circle of power and they were obviously very concerned about this issue, especially the Xiao family who were at odds with Mr. Sheng.
"Have you ever met my mother in Fountain Square?" Jiang Zhiyue spoke again. Her voice was soft but her words were heavy, like an invisible knife slashing at her.
Old Madam Sheng felt a chill in her heart, realizing that she must not answer easily, as this damn girl was setting a trap for her again.
Those people who are always causing troubles but not being able to do anything good! A lunatic locked up in a mental hospital was allowed to escape alive!
"Zhiyue, I know you've been brooding over the fact that Sheng Yao hurt Yue'er." Old Madam Sheng said tearfully, "It happened more than 30 years ago. Why do you have to embarrass an old lady like me?"
Jiang Zhiyue seemed to have predicted her answer. She said that the reason why Director Zhong suspected Jiang Wanrou's identity was because Zhong Ren accidentally told Director Zhong about Jiang Wanrou's abnormal reaction in the Fountain Square.
There were several hidden surveillance cameras in the Fountain Square. Director Zhong found the surveillance footage from that day and was able to trace the case back to the Sheng family.
"Do you know why Jongin pretends to be crazy and stays in a mental hospital? Why is he willing to make himself a lunatic and live in a hospital?"
"I just want to wait for this day, to hand over the video that Director Zhong had backed up to me while I am still alive, so that I can expose your true face and clear his father's name."
Old Mrs. Sheng was stunned. Lies can be packaged, but the evidence is irrefutable. How can there be a way out?
No, she didn't believe that things from that era could be preserved, and on that day, she ordered people to delete all the surveillance footage.
Jiang Zhiyue must be cheating her!
But what was even more surprising was that a picture suddenly appeared on the wall out of thin air.
At first, the picture flickered and the camera shook, and two children of different heights with blurred faces were vaguely seen playing by the side of a gorgeous fountain.
A pair of red high-heeled shoes suddenly appeared in the camera, and as a coin rolled to the edge of the shoe, it stopped abruptly.
Then, the picture began to shake violently, accompanied by a hissing sound of electricity, as if the image was becoming increasingly blurry due to its age and poor contact.
"ah--!"
Suddenly, a child's clear and shrill scream was heard, echoing in everyone's ears like thunder.
The sound was extremely sharp and miserable.
Tap tap tap, the crisp sound of high heels, intertwined with the screams, echoed throughout the hall, one after another, suddenly ringing in the ears.
If everyone thought the voice was abrupt, then Old Madam Sheng opened her eyes wide, staring at the shaking picture without blinking, and her eyes even flashed with a moment of daze.
She stared at the pair of red high heels and murmured, "Impossible..."
"Mother!" Sheng Hui called out immediately.
As soon as these words were spoken, Mr. Sheng slowly stood up with the help of the doctor and stared at Mrs. Sheng.
"Turn it off immediately! Tell someone to turn it off! This is outrageous!" Sheng Hui shouted angrily in a voice as loud as a bell.
"How can such a solemn and sacred occasion tolerate a wild girl who repeatedly makes such unpresentable moves! Who let her in, and what is her purpose?!"
"Father, you must not be fooled by outsiders and misunderstand mother!!"
I don't know where the projected image came from.
All security personnel acted quickly, but were unable to cut off the hidden signal.
Jiang Zhiyue was still staring at the stage without moving her eyes at all. Old Madam Sheng's face changed in shock, and she could clearly read a few words from the girl's eyes - she was deceiving her.
"This video is fake! It's fake! I didn't do it!" Old Madam Sheng hurriedly explained, "The video was created by someone Jiang Zhiyue had imitated—"
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly realized something and trembled when she felt Mr. Sheng's gaze on her face.
"If I asked someone to imitate the video, how did you know? Unless you were there at the scene and saw it with your own eyes, and were a part of the video, you would not be able to know the original facts so clearly."
Jiang Zhiyue's voice sounded immediately afterwards.
She is deceiving old lady Sheng.
And the real killer move lies in this last step.
.....
On the high platform, Old Madam Sheng was unsteady and almost fell.
Mr. Sheng's motionless gaze on her said almost everything.
Jiang Zhiyue's eyes were as sharp as torches, and she spoke each word with great emphasis and in a high voice.
"The son of a murderer does not deserve the Medal of Honor. For his own selfish interests, he had the dedicated sheriff imprisoned, forced the victim's son to hide in a mental hospital, and killed dozens of people. These crimes will eventually be brought to justice!"
