At this moment, Lin Yu was unaware that he had been targeted as a easy target.

After returning from the outskirts, Lin Yu went back to the police station.

At this moment, the scene was a complete mess.

To Lin Yu's surprise, the disciples of Hongwu Sect had already left.

Feng Jiu sat exhausted on the ground, covered in wounds, while opposite her, Lao Jiu, whose martial arts had been crippled, lay powerless on the ground as well.

"What's going on?" Lin Yu was slightly surprised. He knew that Feng Jiu was no match for Lao Jiu. It was already good that she had lasted this long. How could she possibly have crippled Lao Jiu's martial arts?

Feng Jiu quickly reported to him, "I didn't cripple Lao Jiu, it was that man in black robes from earlier!"

"You mean, Li Nan, the patriarch of the Undead Clan?"

Lin Yu frowned.

Li Nan was just seriously injured by him and probably secretly escaped, but he didn't pursue him. Unexpectedly, this guy came back after going around in circles.

Feng Jiu nodded. "That's right, it's the one who asked you to go out for a solo training session. He just returned, severely injured Lao Jiu, and dismissed the Hongwu Sect disciples!"

"I'm completely baffled by this whole thing, Young Marshal, what exactly happened between you and him?" Feng Jiu asked, puzzled.

Lin Yu's lips curled into a slight, cold smile. He knew perfectly well why Li Nan had done this.

Most likely, it was because he witnessed my strength and was afraid I would cause him trouble. That's why he took the initiative to befriend me, crippling the ninth brother and withdrawing the disciples of the Hongwu Sect.

But does that mean he won't cause trouble?

Impossible!

The Undead Clan harbors wolfish ambitions and seeks to disrupt the Great Xia's order. This malignant tumor must be eradicated completely.

However, the most important thing right now is the trial of Ai Changqing's case tomorrow!

Therefore, he plans to completely eliminate the undead after the trial!

Now that Lao Jiu has been caught and all the evidence is complete, Jiang Yuan cannot escape his guilt, and there will be no problem with tomorrow's trial!

As long as Jiang Yuan is brought to justice, the Jiang family and the eight great clans will naturally not dare to say anything more, and the situation will immediately stabilize!

"Take him back to the police station, sew his mouth back up, and restore his ability to speak. We're counting on him to appear in court tomorrow!" Lin Yu glanced at Lao Jiu and said coldly.

...

The day the trial began was the focus of everyone's attention.

Because of the previous Ivy video scandal, the whole country now knows about this case, and the entire nation is paying attention to today's court hearing!

However, Lin Yu does not intend to appear today, and has handed over the judge's seat to Feng Jiu.

At this moment, the courtroom is full.

Because it was a public trial, major media outlets were also present at the scene.

Snap!

Without wasting any words, Feng Jiu struck the gavel, ordering the entire room to be quiet!

"Bring in the prisoner, Jiang Yuan!"

At a command, law enforcement officers brought Jiang Yuan, who was handcuffed, into the courtroom and placed him in the dock!

However, Jiang Yuan's expression remained disdainful, with a cold smile always on his face.

He held a dismissive attitude towards today's court hearing.

He felt the public trial was a joke and was confident that he would eventually be acquitted!

Snap!

Feng Jiu struck the gavel again, her face cold and stern as she shouted, "Jiang Yuan, you plotted to frame Mayor Ai. The prosecution is now indicting you. Do you know your crime?"

"Sue me?" Jiang Yuan scoffed. "Everything requires evidence. I'm just an ordinary businessman; I really don't know what crime I've committed!"

"Stubborn to the end?" Feng Jiu sneered, "Fine, today I'll show you how I expose your hypocrisy!"

"Bring Ai Changqing along!"

At Feng Jiu's command, a middle-aged man wearing a white washed shirt was helped up.

"Mayor Ai!"

"Lord Ai!"

Many people at the scene had come specifically for Ai Changqing, and they immediately stood up, casting concerned glances at him.

For more than a year, there was no news of Ai Changqing, and they were all worried about Mayor Ai's condition.

Seeing Mayor Ai looking so haggard and thin, everyone felt extremely distressed, and many people's eyes reddened.

It is easy to imagine how much injustice and torment Mayor Ai suffered during that year and a half.

Ai Changqing smiled at everyone, his smile as kind and gentle as ever. His eyes, too, remained as steady and resolute as ever.

At this moment, Lin Yu, who had quietly arrived at the scene from the crowd, nodded slightly.

Ai Changqing is indeed a talented person. Even though he was wronged and stigmatized, it did not break him!

You could tell from his eyes that he hadn't lost his beliefs.

This is a person of faith, and he is of great potential!

Snap!

Feng Jiu brought down her gavel again, announcing that Ai Changqing's bribery case would be formally put to public trial.

"Bring the suspect Huang Haifeng!"

The first prisoner summoned was Huang Haifeng, the top leader of Qingyuan!

After Huang Haifeng was dragged up, he knelt limply on the ground.

Huang Haifeng is no longer the arrogant county magistrate he once was.

He looked even more haggard than Ai Changqing.

Feng Jiu stared down at Huang Haifeng and coldly questioned, "Huang Haifeng, I ask you, was it you who reported Ai Changqing, saying that Zheng Honglian had bribed him and that the two had an improper relationship?"

Huang Haifeng stiffened, glanced instinctively at Jiang Yuan in the defendant's seat, and nodded shakily, "Yes!"

Feng Jiu asked again, "Did you see it with your own eyes, or were you instructed by someone?"

"I...I was acting under orders!"

Stared at by Feng Jiu's sharp gaze, Huang Haifeng dared not utter a single falsehood.

Wow!

However, these words caused an uproar at the scene!

When Ai Changqing and Zheng Honglian's affair was exposed back then, everyone found it unbelievable.

Mayor Ai and Zheng Honglian are both people with excellent reputations. No one would believe that these two would engage in collusion between officials and businessmen, or exchange power for sex!

Huang Haifeng's admission on the spot proves everyone's suspicions: Mayor Ai was indeed wronged!

Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, staring intently at Huang Haifeng, his fist slowly clenching, but soon he relaxed it again.

After all, he handled the matter very cleanly, leaving no evidence, so he was naturally not afraid of Huang Haifeng implicating him.

At this moment, Feng Jiu continued to ask Huang Haifeng, "Since you say that someone instructed you, please identify on the spot who forced you to wrong Ai Changqing and Zheng Honglian?"

Huang Haifeng was slightly taken aback and looked at Jiang Yuan again.

Jiang Yuan smiled coldly, a smile that seemed to have a deeper meaning.

Huang Haifeng couldn't help but shudder.

He knew that once he revealed Jiang Yuan's identity, the Jiang family would never let him go, and he would only have one way out: death.

But if he doesn't confess honestly, Lin Yu won't let him off the hook either!

More importantly, his family is now under Lin Yu's control!

At this point, death is inevitable either way!

It doesn't matter if I die, but no matter what, I must not implicate my family!

Therefore, he had no choice but to betray Jiang Yuan!
