"Let me introduce myself first. I am Xia Guodong, the principal of No. 27 Middle School."

"Since our school hasn't produced any top students for Peking University for many years, we've started to scout out talent from lower levels in order to achieve our goal of cultivating potential Peking University students!"

"Xu Mo is one of the students selected by our school!"

"I believe he can successfully get into Peking University!"

He has already told me about skipping class.

The presiding judge was stunned.

He knew Xia Guodong.

The jury also knew Xia Guodong.

“Since Principal Xia Guodong is here, the child must be telling the truth.”

"The school waived his tuition fees, so why does he still need to pay tuition?"

The defendant's family members are seated.

Su Yun retorted angrily, "Even so, the fact remains that he stole jewelry from his home to sell for money, right? Otherwise, how could he still be alive and well?"

Xu Anguo: "I will testify!"

Xu Ruyan: "Xu Mo, what else do you have to say for yourself? Just admit it!"

Xu Mengting: "You have let down your homeroom teacher and the principal!"

Xu Wenwan: "Xu Mo, you are suspected of stealing my elder sister's necklace and various jewelry from her home. This constitutes multiple thefts and involves a substantial amount of money. You should be sentenced to more than three years in prison!"

"If you admit to the crime you committed, then I believe the judge will give you a lighter sentence because you are still young and have the courage to admit your mistake!"

The judge and the jury turned their attention to Xu Mo.

The principal even stepped forward to vouch for Xu Mo's character.

They naturally believed Xu Mo.

Xu Mo said indifferently, "Do you have any evidence to prove that I stole my older sister's necklace?"

The defendant's family members are seated.

Su Yun nudged Xu Qingcheng.

"Quickly tell the judge that Xu Mo stole your necklace!"

Xu Mo turned his gaze to Xu Qingcheng with a look of disdain.

Did I steal your necklace?

Xu Qingcheng hesitated for a moment.

She heard Xu Feng say that he saw Xu Mo barge into her room.

She didn't know for sure whether Xu Mo had actually stolen the necklace.

When Xu Mo mentioned this matter to her, she felt something was amiss, but she didn't investigate further because she didn't want to embarrass her family too much.

Xu Qingcheng looked at Xu Mo with pleading eyes: "Xiao Mo, I admit I wronged you before, but please believe me in this matter, I did it for your own good!"

"So, admit your mistake. After you admit it, I will forgive you and promise not to pursue any further responsibility against you!"

Xu Anguo slammed his fist on the table and pointed at Xu Mo: "You beast! Although your older sister agreed to let you go, I will never let you go!"

Xu Ruyan said hatefully, "A despicable person like you doesn't deserve to be my brother. My brother can only be Xiao Feng!"

Xu Mengting sighed, "You've made such a big deal out of a small matter, isn't that your goal? You're really shameless!"

Xu Wenwan crossed her arms and said, "My eldest sister has already identified you as the one who did it. What else do you have to explain?"

Xu Feng cried, "Brother, just admit that you stole the necklace, and I'll give you a million yuan in pocket money, okay?"

The presiding judge and the jury were not speaking.

They gazed at Xu Mo in silence.

We await his explanation.

Xu Mo looked at the presiding judge: "Your Honor, may I use my cell phone?"

The presiding judge refused: "Recording is prohibited in court, mainly to prevent malicious editing and subsequent dissemination!"

Xu Mo explained, "It's not a recording; I just want to contact the two officers outside."

"They had started investigating the Xu family's missing necklace several days ago, and just yesterday, they found the necklace, as well as all the jewelry that the Xu family had lost over the years!"

The jury was shocked.

Xia Qingyu smiled and said, "I believe you!"

The principal pushed up his glasses with his middle finger: "As expected of the student I chose, I had foresight!"

The presiding judge slams the gavel.

"Granted!"

The entire Xu family looked at Xu Mo.

I don't understand what he means by that.

The jury handed Xu Mo their cell phones.

He took the phone and dialed Officer Li Nan's number.

"You may come in!"

As Xu Mo put down his phone, Li Nan entered the courtroom.

Officer Wang Hu stayed by her side without saying a word the entire time.

The defendant's family members are seated.

Su Yun froze for a second, then slammed her hand on the table in anger: "Fine! You beast! You called the police again! How could I, Su Yun, have given birth to such a disobedient and beastly son!"

Xu Anguo roared, "Xu Mo, how could you be so rebellious, disobeying me and your mother, and insisting on calling the police! You've ruined the reputation of the Xu family! Is this what you wanted? Is this how you repay your father, you unfilial son?"

Xu Ruyan said gleefully, "Xu Mo, look what you've done, you beast! You've even dragged the police into this! Are you determined to send yourself to jail?"

Xu Mengting shook her head and said, "What good will it do you to have the truth come out?"

Xu Wenwan sneered, "Xu Mo, since you've chosen your own death, I'll have the judge sentence you to 20 years, then you'll know how powerful I am!"

Xu Qingcheng remained silent throughout the entire process.

She was mentored by Steward Li.

She felt that as a highly educated person, she should not view things with prejudice or arrogance.

even if.

She suspected something was amiss and tried to explain it to her parents several times.

But knowing that her parents wouldn't listen to her at all, she gave up trying to explain.

Of course, it wasn't that she was truly too lazy to explain.

Instead...

She was afraid her mother would hit her with a bamboo stick, and even more afraid her father would force her to wear a sling.

"quiet!"

The judge roared,

The Xu family quieted down.
