If nothing unexpected happened, things would have gone well together. Unfortunately, everything was reported in the end. Hiding his marital history and children was not a crime. His relationship with Lian Qiao and what he said before were also understandable and could not be prosecuted by law. However, some of his suspected transactions, such as drinking with others behind the scenes, were within the jurisdiction of the police.
The report and the solid evidence came at the same time, and Maimendong was taken away by the police. Because he was famous, the news caused a sensation.
After Ophiopogon japonicus, it was Gladiolus. As a news director of a powerful media, it was almost impossible for him to be clean. Yu Liren's group had a lot of cooperation with Gladiolus, and it was inevitable that they would benefit each other. Shady transactions did not matter when the cooperation was pleasant, but it was not difficult to take action when the cooperation was not going on. Yu Liren made some arrangements, and the private bribery transactions of Gladiolus and the unspoken things between him and those private secretaries who changed hands very quickly were also exposed.
Not long after successfully discrediting Zhu Jin based on hearsay, Gladiolus was arrested.
Several more people followed, all of whom had connections with Helian Zhen and helped her. Within just two hours, they were arrested one after another. As they were taken away by the police, reports about Helian Zhen were also released. As the related people were arrested, news reports were released one after another, revealing the relationship between these people and Helian Zhen, as well as the doubts left by Helian Zhen.
The Internet was in an uproar this time. There were two deaths and one body. Even without evidence, the suspicion was enough to arouse people's anger. At 5 pm on the 13th, Shi Shangbai directly asked Fuling to issue a final discussion and analysis report to discuss the subtle timing of Helian Zhen's miscarriage caused by Chinese medicine poisoning, as well as the connection between Hu Hu, who was poisoned by Chinese medicine at the same time, and the children in the orphanage.
Zhu Jin's medicine had never had any problems before, but suddenly there were problems around the time she was announced as a princess candidate. The smell of conspiracy was overwhelming. According to reliable sources, the police found through investigation that the reasons for the changes in the properties of the medicines in the three incidents were of the same nature. Combined with Helian Zhen's previous performance in front of the media, it seemed that she didn't know she was pregnant, and then she had a sudden miscarriage... There are so many connections that are amazing.
In just a few hours, less than a day, Shi Shangbai used the same method that Helian Zhen used to deal with Zhu Jin to counterattack, successfully breaking Zhu Jin's situation of being surrounded by enemies. However, Helian Zhen's hands and feet were bound invisibly because of Mai Mendong and others' capture, and he was unable to break through Shi Shangbai's continuous attacks in a short period of time.
Zhu Jin lost her reputation on the 12th, and Helian Zhen was disgraced on the 13th. While Zhu Jin was under investigation at the police station, Shi Shangbai managed to turn the tide and reverse the situation. Helian Zhen no longer had to worry about going to jail, but her position as a princess was no longer stable.
When Zhu Jin returned home and saw Shi Shangbai, an indescribable complexity flashed across his eyes.
She had just thought about keeping her distance from him in the future, but then she had this experience. Facing Ishigami Kashiwa who had been trying his best to help her wholeheartedly, she would be ashamed of herself if she were to distance herself from him again...
Shi Wei couldn't tell the complicated feelings in Zhu Jin's heart. When he was taken home by Shi Shangbai, Shi Wei, who had been in high spirits after watching the lively news about the crusade against Helian Zhen, immediately rushed over to Zhu Jin as usual when he saw him coming back.
"Auntie, you're back!" Shi Wei's face flushed with excitement. "Auntie, don't worry. The bad princess has been defeated!"
"Auntie was able to stand up even after being knocked down by the bad princess. The bad princess will also stand up. Don't be too relieved." Zhu Jin looked down at Shi Wei and smiled, "This is called being strong and unyielding."
Shi Wei felt something was wrong and looked back, only to see the smile in Shi Shangbai's eyes, "...it can be explained this way."
"Of course." Zhu Jin nodded.
"Okay." Shi Wei gave up discussing this issue any further. Thinking of today's "big event in life", he hurried to Shi Shangbai's side. After sitting down, he hugged Shi Shangbai and put their faces together. He looked at Zhu Jin eagerly and asked, "Auntie, do I look like dad? Do we look alike?"
"Alike." Zhu Jin was puzzled. He looked at the father and son carefully and nodded.
My father said that she looks like my mother, not very much like my father, but when she is with my father, people can guess that they are father and daughter at a glance. Shi Wei and Shi Shangbai are separated and most people would not connect them together, but when they are together, they are obviously father and son.
"Are they like real father and son?" Shi Wei's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to ask again.
"Why do you think of asking this question?" Zhu Jin was stunned and looked at Shi Shangbai. Shi Shangbai smiled helplessly and said nothing. Shi Wei asked again, "Auntie, do they look like each other? Do they look like real father and son?"
"Miss, just answer him. He has just asked me." The aunt came to invite them to dinner and interrupted Shi Wei when she heard him shouting.
"Alike, very alike. One can tell at a glance that you are biological father and son." Zhu Jin shook his head and replied.
"Hmph." Shi Wei snorted, tilting his head to give Shi Shangbai a kiss on the face, then raised his hand and announced, "I want to look more and more like my dad. I want to be as tall, mighty, and handsome as my dad!"
He announced as he ran to the dining table, "I want to eat. I want to eat a lot of food to grow up. I want to look more and more like my dad. Let's see who dares to say that I'm not my dad's biological son!"
Zhu Jin, who was originally looking at Shi Wei's back with a smile, was about to follow him, but when he heard his last sentence, he paused and turned back hesitantly to look at Shi Shangbai, who was still sitting on the sofa and smiling.
At this glance, Zhu Jin finally noticed something was wrong with Shi Shangbai, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
She saw how good Shi Shangbai was to Shi Wei, and saying that they were not biological father and son was like a huge joke...
But if this huge joke is not a joke... Zhu Jin didn't dare to think further.
"Let's eat. After dinner, let's talk about what happened at the police station today. Has Zhuye Xin gone home yet? Fuling said she was hungry, so she ate first and said she would go outside for a walk to clear her mind. She will be back soon. Let's get together after dinner to discuss it." Shi Shangbai noticed Zhu Jin's gaze and stood up abruptly.
"Okay." Zhu Jin looked into his eyes, his gaze flickering, but in the end he only responded with one word.
The three of them had eaten together quite often, and the table looked peaceful as usual, but Zhu Jin didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the table was a lot quieter.
Zhu Jin lowered his head and concentrated on looking at the dishes, trying his best not to look at Ishigami Bai and his son, for fear that something strange would show in his eyes.
When Zhu Jin put down the bowl, as usual, the father and son were still eating. Shi Wei wanted to eat another bowl, but Shi Shangbai stopped him, "It's almost done."
"Almost, just a little bit short. If I eat one more bowl, I will grow faster. When I grow up, I will look more like dad. If I look like dad, I will be his son for life!" Shi Wei always thought of the appearance of his classmates and parents, and always felt that he was the least like them. It was better to look like dad.
"It won't be easy for you to be as tall, mighty and handsome as your father. Don't struggle." Shi Shangbai looked Shi Wei up and down and was not polite at all.
"Ah...bad guy!" Shi Wei shouted in dissatisfaction and pounced on Shi Shangbai. Zhu Jin breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.
Looking at Shi Shangbai quarreling with Shi Wei, Zhu Jin was a little distracted. What kind of person is Shi Shangbai...
Zhu Jin's brief distraction was interrupted by the returning Fuling.
"Doctor Zhu Jin, you're back? How's the situation at the police station? What did the liar sister say? Did you silence the police at the police station today?" Fuling's voice arrived before she did. The liar sister she was talking about was Zhuyexin. In Fuling's words, Zhuyexin looked too deceptive. She looked like a good person, but she was not. She was a liar from beginning to end and from inside to outside.
"Yes, it left them speechless." Zhu Jin came back to his senses and couldn't help laughing after hearing her words.
"It seems that both of us have achieved good results!" Fuling was very satisfied. "Where is Sister Liar?"
"She said she wanted to find a quiet place to tidy up." Zhu Jin had gotten used to Zhu Yexin's habit after what happened with Warren before.
Shi Shangbai had just asked Shi Wei to watch TV when Ye Banxia came and brought some side dishes made by his mother to Zhu Jin. Facing Zhu Jin's thanks, he smiled a little guilty, "We have searched everywhere in the orphanage but couldn't find out who did it in the end. However, Zi Su has preserved the evidence, so the child's accident cannot be entirely blamed on you."
"There's nothing we can do about it." Zhu Jin shook his head to indicate that it didn't matter.
"Can't you see who has been bribed? If we can't find any suspicious people, and no one from the orphanage has taken action, then it must be an acquaintance who committed the crime." It's impossible for the medicine to change its properties for no reason. Someone must have done it. If there's no stranger, then it must be an acquaintance who committed the crime, Ishigami Bai asked with a frown.
"No, it's impossible." Zhu Jin's first reaction was to shake his head.
"This is impossible..." Ye Banxia also shook his head.
Shi Shangbai looked at Zhu Jin's reaction and didn't ask any more questions. He just changed the question, "Come on, Zhu Jin, you mentioned before that the person who deliberately framed you and prevented you from receiving treatment in prison when you were imprisoned last year, do you know who it is now? The person behind the scenes..." Maybe he is the mastermind behind this time.
Shi Shangbai didn't say the last few words, but Zhu Jin understood.
"At that time, she was released from prison the next day..." Zhu Jin frowned.
"I still remember that person. He has always had a weird personality and doesn't seem like someone who can be used by others." Ye Banxia, who had lowered his head, raised his head and frowned as he explained.
"Is that so..." Ishigami Bai nodded, and Zhuye Xin came.
"It's done. I can't make you completely innocent." Zhu Yexin said straight to the point, "Doctor Zhu Jin, you will have to go back to...prison in the end."
"I'm mentally prepared." Zhu Jin accepted it calmly.
"The court will open tomorrow. I will do my best." Zhu Yexin nodded when she heard that. She felt very sorry. If the incident could have been postponed for a few hours, and happened after Zhu Jin had completed the surgery to be released from prison and officially ended his sentence, it would not be as difficult as it is now. It would be difficult to reduce the sentence when he is still on parole.
This regret only flashed through Zhuye's mind for a moment. After all, everyone knew that the person who wanted to harm Zhu Jin chose this time because of this point.
Everything depends on tomorrow's court session.
