The bodyguard hidden in the corner was somewhat amazed by Zhou Yi's keen perception; he had only glanced at him a few times, yet Zhou Yi had immediately noticed him.
Now, the bodyguards became much more cautious and dared not openly stare at Zhou Yi anymore.
Zhou Yi calmly presented a variety of evidence: from Su's mother stealing jewelry and company confidential documents, to the police finding foreign medicines in Su's mother and daughter's room, and so on.
It's clear that the Su mother and daughter's time in prison was not easy.
Su's mother stood up from the defendant's seat in a state of fear.
Her once jet-black hair is now mostly gray, and after losing a lot of weight, her face is sagging, making her look about the same age as a 60 or 70-year-old grandmother in the countryside.
Her withered, thin body trembled under Zhou Yi's persistent questioning, and her pale face looked at Zhou Yi pleadingly.
Zhou Yi presented so much evidence that it was impossible for anyone to deny it.
Just when Su's mother thought she was doomed, Zhou Yi produced new evidence once again.
It's a car audio recording, containing a conversation between the old shareholder and Su Qingjiao.
As if grasping at the biggest lifeline, Su's mother hurriedly shouted, "No, no, I didn't, I didn't hurt the old lady!"
"Your Honor, this is not true."
“I risked breaking both my legs to rescue the old lady, how could I possibly set a fire! And how could I possibly push her down the stairs?”
The lawyer naturally guessed that Su's mother would try to argue her point, since it was just a recording.
His words remained sharp and relentless.
"The day before the fire, a sum of money was deposited into your bank account, marked as a severance payment."
"I would like to ask the defendant, since you have already been dismissed, why were you still near the Zhou family's ancestral home that day?"
"Furthermore, my investigation revealed that before this salary payment, your daughter had received an income in her bank account. Through the source of this money, I discovered that your daughter sold a brand-name watch a few days before the fire..."
When Su's mother heard Su Qingjiao's name, she suddenly shouted:
"No, I didn't set the fire."
“I didn’t know anything, I had no money, and I didn’t own any designer watches. I just wanted to ask the old lady why she fired me that day.”
“I don’t know anything else. You, you go ask Jiaojiao. These are all Jiaojiao’s bank accounts.”
Su's mother retorted at all costs, blaming the fire incident on Su Qingjiao!
She hated it!
If Su Qingjiao hadn't stolen the watch, she could have kept her nanny's salary, wouldn't have been fired, and the old lady wouldn't have found out and called the police.
Otherwise, why would I have argued with the old lady? And then, during the argument, I pushed her down the stairs.
All of this was caused by his own daughter.
When all the evidence was laid out before her, Su's mother became frightened; she feared she would be sentenced to death.
Su Qingjiao, who was sitting in the same dock as her mother, saw her mother frantically trying to clear her name of everything she had done and throw mud at her.
Su Qingjiao's previously numb gaze instantly sharpened.
Unlike Su's mother, who vehemently denied the allegations, she calmly stood up and stated, "Your Honor, I am merely staying at the Zhou family's old house."
"With so many servants in the Zhou family, I had no chance to steal the watch."
“My mom secretly stole the watch from me while she was cleaning up and gave it to me to exchange for money.”
"If you don't believe me, then go and check the families of the employers my mother worked for before."
“My mother likes to sneakily take things from her employers’ homes. It’s because of her dishonesty that she’s been blacklisted by various domestic service companies.”
"If you investigate, you'll find the evidence."
Turning her head, Su Qingjiao saw her mother's shocked and furious expression and suddenly felt extremely pleased.
She hated her mother for being incompetent; why did she have to give birth to her!
She hated Su's mother even more for being beaten to death rather than leaving Su's father, that scoundrel.
I hate my bad luck for having such parents.
If it weren't for her mother constantly threatening her that if she didn't cooperate, there would be no money to support her schooling and she would have to marry an old man in exchange for a dowry, what could she have done?
With no money, she was forced to help Su's mother sell the stolen goods.
If only none of this had happened...
Su Qingjiao looked at Zhou Yi with longing, wishing she could start over with him.
But Zhou Yi's gaze was like a knife, each cut aimed at killing her.
When Su's mother heard that Su Qingjiao had confessed to what she had done before, she was so angry that she slapped Su Qingjiao across the face.
"Smack!"
"You ungrateful wretch! If I had known, I should have thrown you into the cesspool and drowned you when you were born."
"I've endured humiliation and hardship my whole life for you, supporting you through college, and now that disaster is upon us, you throw all the blame on me. You're not even human."
No one in the courtroom expected that Su's mother would suddenly attack someone.
The police officers on duty nearby immediately stepped forward, subdued Su's mother, and separated the two.
A bleak smile appeared on Su Qingjiao's face, and a tear of regret slid down her cheek. She was filled with remorse and wanted to make amends to Zhou Yi.
But Zhou Yi's gaze, filled with murderous intent, cut her heart like a knife.
After being pulled away, Su's mother continued to shout at the judge and everyone present, revealing all the information.
"Su Qingjiao, I pushed the old lady downstairs unintentionally. It was because the old lady wanted to call the police that I did it in a moment of panic."
"But you started that fire afterwards."
“You are much more cruel than me. I wanted to call an ambulance after I realized the old lady had fallen down the stairs, but you wouldn’t let me.”
Su's mother knew she couldn't escape legal punishment, but at this moment, she was truly furious at her daughter's betrayal.
Other children try their best to take the blame for their parents' sins, but Su Qingjiao, this ungrateful wretch, is still thinking about exonerating herself even at this point.
She knew that Su Qingjiao had hated them for giving birth to her since she was a child.
In short, the mother and daughter have fallen out to this extent, and their relationship is now severed.
Su Qingjiao wants to get away with her crime, but she absolutely disagrees!
At worst, the mother and daughter can go on their journey together and become a pair of resentful mother and daughter in the underworld.
The courtroom was silent as everyone watched the mother and daughter expose each other's misdeeds.
The media, disguised as ordinary people, pulled out paper and pens and wrote down the conversation between the mother and daughter.
This is such an explosive story, if it were posted, it would definitely go viral!
The plaintiff's lawyer watched this scene with a smile, feeling that he had never had such an easy lawsuit before. Before he could even present all the evidence, the defendants were tearing each other apart.
The defendant's lawyer, who was brought in by the court as part of legal aid, sighed speechlessly.
He sent a "you win" look to the opposing lawyer from afar.
