After being humiliated at the hospital, Zhu Dekun and Cui Li never went back. They tried to get their daughter out of the hospital, but they found that not a single lawyer in the entire Xiling City was willing to take the case. The reason was that Feng Lianyi and Liu Nan were too famous in the industry, and now that the two of them had joined forces, there was no chance of winning. Why bother to lose face?
In the end, Zhu Dechang sent a lawyer from Beichuan City.
However, the lawyer regretted it as soon as he saw it. All the evidence pointed to Zhu Jiaojiao's guilt, leaving no room for rebuttal. What was the point of having him defend her?
Even a plea for leniency wouldn't work, because none of Zhu Jiaojiao's actions evoked any sympathy. More importantly, she was already over eighteen years old and considered a fully capable adult.
Furthermore, since the media has already learned about this matter, there is no possibility of it being handled privately.
Finally, Nangong Jue and Le Yao filed a lawsuit against Zhu Jiaojiao.
Le Yao publicly stated that she would not accept mediation and only demanded a severe punishment.
The trial was held in open court.
The final result was not surprising at all. The court convicted Zhu Jiaojiao of multiple crimes, including intentional injury, causing an accident with dangerous goods, and endangering public safety, and sentenced her to 20 years in prison, deprived her of her political rights for life, and also ordered her to pay civil damages.
Twenty years! Zhu Jiaojiao's life is basically ruined.
Cui Li cried her heart out, wanting to fight Le Yao to the death, but she couldn't rely on her at all, and in the end she could only curse her with all her might.
Le Yao sighed: "Cui Li, her fate is all because you spoiled her. If we really have to assign blame, you bear the greatest responsibility."
"You...you really are just like your deadbeat mother, you're here specifically to bring misfortune upon us..."
Le Yao frowned: "What did you say?"
"Han Binglan, you little bitch, I won't let you get away with this. Sooner or later, I'll send you to reunite with your dead mother." Cui Li watched her daughter being taken away, almost losing her mind. That was the daughter she had pampered since she was a child, and now she was ruined like this. It was all because of that little bitch Han Binglan. She would definitely take revenge.
Looking at Cui Li's erratic state, Le Yao's heart sank slightly. She always felt that Cui Na's death was suspicious, and the Cui family's attitude towards Cui Na was too strange.
Cui Li's words just now also seemed to contain a deeper meaning.
He raised his hand and called Yuan Bin and Tao Qing over: "Brother Bin and Sister Qing, I'd like to ask you to do something."
"Please speak, Miss."
"Go to Beichuan City and investigate the Cui family, especially... my mother Cui Na's affairs. Investigate everything, big or small, find out whatever you can, including the Zhu family..."
Yuan Bin and Tao Qing exchanged a glance: "But what about the person next to you..."
"Lord Qiao has plenty of bodyguards, and Brother Shen is here too, so it's alright. You should set off immediately."
The two of them didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
Le Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was determined to expose the Cui family's despicable deeds.
Because the weather turned cooler, it was a good time for Nangong Jue's wound to heal. A month later, in mid-November, he underwent a second skin grafting surgery, which was very successful. Now he just has to wait for the wound to heal completely.
Of course, the news of the Nangong family's injury was immediately communicated to both the Nangong family and the He family, but no one came to help.
Le Yao couldn't help but feel that this man wasn't worth it.
