Feeling reassured after taking the antidote, Zheng Ruijie quietly left.

He suddenly turned against the law in court, violating the spirit of the contract. Even if he did something just, he will definitely be punished by the bar association and will certainly lose his law license.

It is unlikely that Ye Zhiguo will be able to find a lawyer to defend him in a short period of time, and even if he could, it is unlikely that any lawyer would be willing to defend him.

No matter how much money is offered, these lawyers will not take on a case they know they will lose!

Ye Zhiguo pleaded guilty in court and assaulted a police officer in public, so there's no way he can turn the tables unless time is reversed or everyone has a blackout and forgotten that part of the story.

Niu Xiaoya was right. The court indeed held a hearing very quickly, just three days after the recess, and there were still three days left before the Chinese New Year.

Ye Zhiguo was the only defendant in the dock.

There was no defense lawyer.

Just two nights later, Ye Zhiguo looked as if he had aged more than ten years. His temples were gray, his back was hunched, and his face was ashen.

Ye Zhiguo confessed to his crimes without reservation and cooperated fully.

The trial proceeded very smoothly and soon came to an end. The judge announced a 15-minute recess to consult with the jury.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly. The jury and judge had reached an agreement, and the judge was preparing to announce the verdict. Ye Qingqing's heart was in her throat, filled with anxiety.

She just hoped the judge would deliver the verdict quickly, but she was also afraid the outcome wouldn't be what she wanted.

The judge's solemn voice rang out, announcing the series of crimes committed by Ye Zhiguo, and finally—

"Ye Zhiguo's crimes are heinous and his methods cruel. He is hereby deprived of his political rights for life and sentenced to death, to be carried out immediately!"

Although the judge had already delivered the verdict, his voice seemed to still echo in her ears. Ye Qingqing was so excited that her eyes were blurred with tears, and her face was covered with tear tracks without her realizing it.

"Dad, Mom, did you hear that? Ye Zhiguo has been sentenced to death, and the execution is imminent..."

Ye Qingqing murmured, her voice choked with sobs. If she weren't in court, she would have burst into tears.

The feud between the two lifetimes has finally come to an end today.

She was going to visit her mother's grave to tell her the good news!

Lu Mo put his arm around Ye Qingqing and gently patted her back. He was also very emotional. Ye Zhiguo, that devil, had finally been brought to justice, but he still couldn't relax.

The crisis was not over. There were also the even more vicious Ye Susu and Tang Yufen, as well as others who coveted the prescription in Ye Qingqing's hands. They all had ill intentions towards this girl.

He must become strong as soon as possible so that he can protect this girl!

A dejected Ye Zhiguo was escorted back to prison by bailiffs. In a few days, he would be executed by firing squad to atone for the deaths of those he had caused.

Ye Zhiguo's two younger brothers were in tears. Although they did not understand the law, they understood the judge's verdict.

My older brother is about to be executed and will never come back!

The old lady in the countryside doesn't know yet. They're wondering how to explain it to her when they get back, and whether she can handle it.

Ye Zhiguo slowly walked down, the shackles on his hands and feet clanging as he approached his two younger brothers.

"Big brother..."

Before the two brothers could speak, tears streamed down their faces as they looked sadly at their eldest brother.

I felt terrible. If I had known that my older brother would turn out so bad after he went to the city, I would have preferred to stay at home and farm peacefully. Although life was tough, we could eat our fill, stay warm, and be together as a family. That was the most important thing!

"Don't cry, take good care of your mother, Ye Hua is in your hands!" Ye Zhiguo said in a hoarse voice.
