Chapter 140 ABO Results Changed (18)

The sunlight flowed, shining on Zhu Qingchen and Shi Ran.
Zhu Qingchen took Shi Ran through a special passage and came to the heavy wooden door on the side of the court.
Two soldiers opened the door for them. Zhu Qingchen thanked them softly and then took Shi Ran into the courtroom.
Shen Xiuping sat on the bench, his fists clenched tightly, his eyes fixed on Zhu Qingchen.
He hated Zhu Qingchen so much.
If Shi Ran came alone to testify, it would be fine.
But now, Zhu Qingchen followed.
He had seen Zhu Qingchen's sharp tongue. If Zhu Qingchen hadn't given a speech with the microphone on the wall that day, he wouldn't be in court now.
Shen Xiuping suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Is Zhu Qingchen going to do something again?
Shen Xiuping didn’t have time to think about it, and couldn’t think of anything.
At this time, Zhu Qingchen had already brought Shi Ran to the witness stand.
Zhu Qingchen stood still and nodded to the judge with a smile: "Hello, judge." He nodded slightly to the jury: "Hello, Marshal and jurors, I am Zhu Qingchen, Shi Ran's tutor."
Shi Ran also bowed and greeted: "Hello everyone, I am Shi Ran."
The judge nodded and said, "Please tell us the truth about your inquiry into your grades."
"Okay." Shi Ran stood up straight. "On June 27th, my tutor, Ms. Zhu, and I just finished our flower arrangement class at the Shen family. I sent Ms. Zhu to the car and returned to my room to take a nap."
"At this time, my classmates sent me a message saying that the test results could be checked and asked me to check it quickly."
"I immediately logged into the website to check my results and found that I ranked second, so I immediately sent a message to Teacher Zhu to share the good news. But when I switched back to the page, my results immediately changed to 'No results'."
"At first, I thought there was something wrong with the webpage. After trying to refresh it several times without success, I wanted to check my mailbox to see if there was a paper transcript for me."
“As soon as I went downstairs, Shen Xiuping came back with a ticket and told me that I broke the mecha in the examination room, so I didn’t get a grade.”
"I refused to believe it and suspected that he had tampered with my grades. He got angry and blamed me, saying that I was mentally ill. He sent the housekeeper to send me back to my room and took away my communicator."
"I had no choice but to contact Mr. Zhu and ask him to come over to help before he snatched my communicator."
The judge nodded, but asked, "Why do you suspect that Shen Xiuping tampered with your grades?"
Shi Ran said seriously: "Because Shen Xiuping never wanted me to do well in the exam. He didn't even want me to take the exam."
Shen Xiuping subconsciously wanted to refute, but he was held down by the soldiers behind him just after he uttered a syllable.
Shi Ran continued, “On May 20th, when registration for the exam was about to close, I cried and smashed things at home, and he reluctantly allowed me to take the exam.”
"On June 9, the day before the exam, at 2 a.m., he sneaked into my room, sat at the head of my bed, and said a lot of things that he didn't want me to do well in the exam."
"On June 10, I had planned to take public transportation to the examination center, but he insisted on sending me there in person. He also said a lot of similar things to me on the aircraft."
"So, after I found out my grades had been altered, he was the first person I suspected."
Shen Xiuping clenched his fists and stared at Shi Ran closely.
He knew that this must be what Zhu Qingchen taught him!
The judge asked: "Do you have evidence to prove that he ever told you that he didn't want you to do well in the exam?"
"Yes." Shi Ran said firmly, "When he broke into my room, I immediately turned on the video. There is also a video on the aircraft."
Shi Ran pressed the remote control, and the big screen in the courtroom showed the ceiling of Shi Ran's room, and Shen Xiuping's voice came from inside.
Shen Xiuping's expression changed suddenly. When did Shi Ran record it?
Shi Ran glanced at him confidently, then quickly turned back.
Before he met the teacher, he was very stupid and didn't know how to preserve evidence.
But these things happened after he met his teacher. These were all taught to him by his teacher.
Two videos, one in the room and one in Shen Xiuping's own aircraft.
The meaning of what Shen Xiuping said was similar, which was nothing more than saying that Shi Ran was stupid and would not do well in the exam, so he should go home and get married as soon as possible.
But it is enough to prove that Shen Xiuping has a strong motive for committing a crime.
Shen Xiuping sat on the bench being judged, his face turning pale and blue, his head lowered, not daring to look up.
If he hadn't been handcuffed and there were soldiers watching him from behind, he would have wanted to raise his hands and cover his ears.
He still underestimated Shi Ran.
He thought he understood Shi Ran and could control him, but he didn't expect that Shi Ran would record a video.
He never expected that the mistake would occur in his own aircraft.
The two videos finished playing quickly. The judge nodded in understanding and asked Shi Ran, "Do you have anything else to add?"
Shi Ran shook his head: "Not for now, thank you, Judge."
"Okay, please take a seat."
Shi Ran sat down, and the judge looked at Zhu Qingchen again: "Teacher Zhu, do you have anything to add?"
Zhu Qingchen said, "Not yet."
Shen Xiuping raised his head and looked at Zhu Qingchen in confusion.
What's going on? Zhu Qingchen didn't say anything? This couldn't be his style.
At this time, the judge asked again: "Do the defendants Shen Xiuping and Wang Fu have any objections to the inspector's statement just now?"
Chen Xiuping turned back, and Wang Fu quickly spoke: "Judge, I was threatened! Chen Xiuping threatened me that if I didn't help him change his grades, he would make me...he would make me...disgraced!"
What he said was simply hilarious.
Shen Xiuping is younger than him and has less experience than him. Even if he has the support of the Shen family, as long as he insists that he will never help Shen Xiuping to modify his grades, Shen Xiuping can't do anything to him. Instead, he asks him not to tell anyone about it.
It was obvious that he agreed to help Shen Xiuping for the huge check and the Shen family's resources.
No one threatened him.
The judge frowned and looked at him seriously: "Please finish your words. How did Shen Xiuping threaten you? How did he ruin your reputation?"
"He..." Wang Fu opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
How could he say that?
He couldn't say that if he didn't help Shen Xiuping revise his grades, Shen Xiuping would not give him money, right?
Wang Fu opened his mouth several times, but he seemed to be mute and no sound came out.
The judge asked: "Suspect, do you have any objection?"
Wang Fu trembled and shook his head: "No."
"No disrupting the order of the court. Second warning."
Wang Fu didn't dare to speak anymore, and Shen Xiuping also lowered his head. When the judge asked him if he had any objections, he also shook his head.
Anyway, things have come to this, the timeline is clear, the motive for the crime is clear, even the surveillance records and background operation records are available, Shen Xiuping knows it clearly, and there is no point in him saying anything more.
As long as this judgment is concluded quickly, it doesn't matter what happens. Anyway, his crime does not deserve the death penalty. Even if he is sentenced to exile on a garbage planet, as long as the Shen family is still there, he will always be able to come back.
It will be over soon. In just a few years, no, just a few months at most, other entertainment news will come out and everyone will forget about this matter.
He just needs to get through the trial!
He doesn't want to be like a monkey, watched by tens of millions of people!
Since both defendants had no objection, the trial began.
In the jury box, a dozen senior officials discussed how to make the verdict.
At this point, no one is willing to take the risk and insure that the land will be sunk and repaired. Even if they want to insure it, it won’t be now.
Zhu Qingchen glanced at Shi Ran and saw that he was calm, but his hands on his knees were shaking slightly, and he was still a little nervous.
Now that they were already here, if Zhu Qingchen tried to comfort him again, it would only make him more nervous, so Zhu Qingchen pretended not to see it and turned his head to look at the jury box.
Gu Yan sat upright in the jury box and met his gaze.
Zhu Qingchen leaned back in his chair, adjusted the thin-framed glasses on his nose, and looked at him seriously.
Gu Yan cleared his throat and said seriously, "Death penalty."
Zhu Qingqing has all looked at him, Shen Xiuping must be sentenced to death, he must be sentenced to death!
The Inquisitor paused and said, "We will consider the Marshal's opinion."
After deliberation, the judge made the final decision and sentenced Wang Fu to exile to Planet 78 for twenty years for disrupting the examination order, illegally operating the examination system, and assisting Shen Xiuping in tampering with the examinees' scores.
Shen Xiuping finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that as expected, he was exiled to a garbage planet, and his parents would never let him stay there for twenty years.
But he didn't notice at all that the judge only pronounced the verdict on Wang Fu, not on him.
He couldn't wait to stand up from the bench and pushed the railing of the defendant's seat, but found that it didn't move.
Wang Fu, who was beside him, was taken away, but no soldiers came to escort him away.
Shen Xiuping frowned, his eyes slightly angry, and turned to look at the soldiers behind him.
Why aren’t you leaving yet?
The next second, the judge struck the gavel again, which frightened Shen Xiuping out of nowhere.
The judge flipped through the file, and it was obvious that he had changed it. "The case of Shi Ran, an orphan of a Guard soldier, suing the adoptive family Shen family for violating the Imperial Orphan Law is now in session."
Shen Xiuping looked up at the judge in disbelief.
What?
What did he say? Shi Ran sued their family?!
Before Shen Xiuping could react, the judge said, "Bring up the other two defendants."
Shen Xiuping turned his head suddenly, and the next second, the parents he was thinking about just now were both brought up by the soldiers.
This time Shen Xiuping could not stand any longer, and like Wang Fu just now, he grabbed the railing with both hands, screaming and trying to flip out.
How is this possible?
It doesn't matter if he is exiled alone, he can always find a chance to come back, but if his parents are like him, their family's connection with the capital will be completely cut off, and their family will be finished. How can he come back? What chance does he have to come back?
As Shen Xiuping thought about this, he became more and more anxious, and he wished he could just rush out.
But just like Wang Fu just now, he was held down by the soldiers behind him before he could make any move.
Shen Xiuping slapped the railing, eager to know what happened, and roared incomprehensiblely: "Mom and Dad? How could you..."
The Shen family couple was sent to the dock. Shen's father glanced at Shen Xiuping and was about to scold him in a low voice when he was interrupted by the soldier: "No noise is allowed in the court!"
Shen Xiuping lay on the bench, roaring, watching Shi Ran and Zhu Qingchen walk from the witness stand to the plaintiff's stand where the inspector of the investigation team had just stood.
How dare Shi Ran sue their entire family?
It must have been Zhu Qingchen who instigated this. He should have known it long ago. Zhu Qingchen was sitting on the chair without saying a word just now. It turned out that he was waiting for him here!
No wonder his parents never came to see him or sent anyone to look after him during the time he was in the prison cabin for so many days!
Zhu Qingchen just saw that he looked fearless and confident of winning, but in fact he had already calculated against him. Zhu Qingchen was just laughing at him from beginning to end!
Shen Xiuping roared, wishing he could rush up and tear Zhu Qingchen to pieces.
At this time, the judge knocked the gavel: "Silence! Shen Xiuping, first warning! Second warning!"
Father Shen finally couldn’t bear it anymore and scolded in a low voice: “Shut up.”
Their family is all about face, and just like Shen Xiuping just now, Shen's father told him to shut up, then lowered his head and said nothing.
"Second warning!"
Shen Xiuping was forced to cover his mouth and was pressed on the trial bench.
The soldiers skillfully pulled out straps from both sides of the chair and tied his hands and feet tightly.
Shen Xiuping struggled hard, but the specially made chair didn't move at all.
He stared at Zhu Qingchen intently and saw Zhu Qingchen and Shi Ran sitting in the plaintiff's seat. The two lawyers hired by Zhu Qingchen also came to the court and sat with them.
The judge said, "Plaintiff and plaintiff's lawyer, please make your statement."
Shi Ran stood up and thanked him in a dignified manner: "Thank you, Judge."
This part was originally done by a lawyer, but Shi Ran wanted to say it himself, so Zhu Qingchen helped him rehearse it many times and let him do it himself.
He stood straight with a firm expression, and spoke every word clearly. Everyone present could hear him clearly.
"I am Shi Ran, an orphan of a Guardsman. I am suing my adoptive family, the Shen family, for failing to fulfill their responsibilities in raising me and for openly violating the Imperial Soldier Orphan Law!"
The Empire has been fighting the Zerg for hundreds of years, and countless soldiers have died. In order to protect the rights of soldiers' orphans, the Empire specially promulgated the "Warrior Orphans Law."
For the Shen family, this is the best charge.
The two members of the Shen family who were on the trial bench all changed their expressions. They were about to retort but were held down by the soldiers.
Now is not the time for question and answer session.
Shi Ran continued, "When I was five years old, I lost my parents in an accident and was adopted by the Shen family."
"During the time when I was adopted, the Shen family and Shen Xiuping showed an almost perverted desire to control me."
"First, I want to accuse Chen Xiuping of treating me as his 'child bride' and 'appendage' and restricting my personal freedom more than once, including but not limited to the 'falsification of grades' that has just been sentenced."
"I have some evidence here."
Shi Ran pressed the remote control, and a surveillance video appeared on the big screen in the courtroom.
It was a mecha exhibition on the capital planet. The time was displayed in the lower left corner, which was one year ago.
The video clearly shows that Shen Xiuping pulled Shi Ran off the mecha. Shi Ran was crying and making a fuss, but Shen Xiuping was unmoved and just dragged him forward.
Shen Xiuping was ten years older than Shi Ran, and Shi Ran was completely unable to resist and could only be dragged away by him.
After this surveillance video was played, two more surveillance videos were played.
Without exception, they were all the scenes of Shen Xiuping dragging the mecha at the exhibition.
——In the original book, this is called “boyfriend power”.
But the court will choose a more appropriate charge for this behavior.
"Chen Xiuping did not allow me to attend mecha exhibitions. He dragged me away in public more than once in the name of relatives. Several times, the security guards wanted to stop him, but they failed because of his admiral status." "In addition to mecha exhibitions, Chen Xiuping also did not allow me to attend class reunions and school lectures. Even if I got a little close to a classmate at school, he would privately warn my classmates."
"For a while, I suspected that I had done something wrong, that there was something wrong with me, that was why the classmates who played well with me yesterday became distant from me today, until they quietly told me the truth, and then I understood."
"My classmates are willing to testify on my behalf, Judge. I hope to call witnesses to the stand."
“Accept the suggestion.”
Several of Shi Ran’s classmates were brought up and spoke one by one.
They were Shi Ran’s elementary school, junior high school and high school classmates respectively. Shi Ran took a lot of effort to contact them. When they heard that they were going to testify in court, they didn’t say much and just came.
Just like Shi Ran said, as long as they got close to Shi Ran, or were seen after school, or made plans to go out and play together, Chen Xiuping would come to their house the next day to warn them and tell them to stay away from Shi Ran.
Shen Xiuping was a general, and they were just ordinary students, so they had no way to resist Shen Xiuping.
But now, they are all willing to testify for Shi Ran.
"Although I didn't know I was going to record it at the time, I can swear that everything I said in court was true."
The judge nodded and asked the witnesses to leave first.
Afterwards, Shi Ran briefly recounted what happened to him on the day of differentiation.
"I was dragged home from the mecha exhibition by Shen Xiuping once again. Unlike the past, I was divided that day."
"Chen Xiuping held my hand and hoped that I would differentiate into an Omega so that I could truly become his bride."
"It was only then that I realized that I had been treated as his 'child bride' all along."
“Therefore, I first want to accuse Shen Xiuping of controlling and harassing me.”
Shi Ran pursed his lips and continued: "Secondly, I want to accuse the Shen family couple of being my guardians, but they are accomplices to the tiger, acquiescing to Shen Xiuping's control and harassment of me, and even creating conditions for Shen Xiuping to control me!"
"As my guardians, the Shen family couple sided with Shen Xiuping without any bottom line when I complained to them countless times about Shen Xiuping. They always told me that Shen Xiuping's harassment of me was a manifestation of his love for me and a manifestation of the brother's love for his younger brother."
"They tried to use 'family affection' to cover up Shen Xiuping's harassment of me, instilling wrong ideas in me, so that for a long time I didn't understand what behavior was inappropriate."
"After I split up, Chen Xiuping immediately called the school and, citing my poor health as an excuse, arranged for me to take a leave of absence and stay at home to learn bridal courses such as flower arrangement and tea art."
"It was also after I split up that within a day, my two guardians quickly traveled together to an alien galaxy and ignored my calls for help."
“This is the recording of the phone call and the message I sent to them after they went out to travel. They have been prevaricating me, hoping that I will stay at home and listen to Shen Xiuping.”
"And this video shows me meeting them after they returned to the capital."
After all, the Shen couple are criminal suspects, so when the victim meets them, the entire process must be recorded.
Thanks to the Shen couple for speaking out their true feelings at that time, it can now serve as strong evidence to prove their guilt.
Shi Ran raised his head and looked at the big screen seriously.
The courtroom was silent.
I don’t know how long it took before the video finished playing.
Shi Ran took a deep breath and said firmly, "In summary, I want to sue the Shen family for violating the "Orphan Law". They adopted a soldier's orphan on the surface, but actually treated me as an 'accessory' and a 'child bride'!"
“As legal guardians, the Shen family couple failed to fulfill their guardianship duties and threw their underage adopted son to the young and middle-aged Shen Xiuping who had long had evil intentions. They knew the law and broke it!”
"Chen Xiuping, as the adopted brother of a martyr's orphan, developed a romantic relationship with me, and used his adult status to threaten and intimidate minors in order to achieve control!"
The judge looked at him with a little more pity.
"Okay, I understand everything. Please sit down."
"Thank you, Inquisitor."
Shi Ran sat down, turned his head and looked at the Shen family seriously.
After telling everything, he felt relieved, as if the heavy stone pressing on his heart had been lifted.
He is not afraid of anything now.
The judge asked: "Does the defendant have any objection?"
As soon as the judge finished speaking, the Shen family spoke hurriedly.
Mother Shen was the first to speak: "This is complete nonsense! Our family has always been very good to Shi Ran. His food, clothing, housing and transportation are exactly the same as Xiu Ping's. We have never treated him unfairly!"
The same thing again. Shi Ran's face changed and he slammed the table and was about to stand up.
Zhu Qingchen adjusted the microphone and said seriously, "Please note that the accusation we have made from the beginning to the end is that 'the Shen family threatened, intimidated, and controlled Shi Ran'. We have not put forward the view that 'the Shen family abused Shi Ran materially'."
"——It's totally irrelevant."
Mother Shen stiffened her neck and continued, "Xiuping and Xiaoran are brothers, not biological brothers, but brothers who are better than biological brothers. They are childhood sweethearts, they grew up together, and have feelings for each other. Why can't we let them cultivate their feelings?"
Mother Shen rolled her eyes and added, “You are the ones who are dirty and have dirty minds, and everything you see is dirty!”
"There is a ten-year age difference between him and Shi Ran!" Zhu Qingchen said seriously, "A one- or two-year age difference is called childhood sweethearts; a ten-year age difference has crossed the eighteen-year age limit, and the age, experience, and mental state are all mismatched. What is it called?"
"Let me tell you, a 26-year-old adult developing romantic feelings for a 16-year-old minor, using his extra 10 years of experience to control and manipulate the other person, is called a pervert!"
"You are all adults in your family. You are a family of adults. You use all kinds of means to guide, deceive, coax and control minors. This is illegal!"
Mother Shen shut her mouth awkwardly, and there was silence in the dock for a while.
Suddenly, Shen Xiuping said: "Judge, please be informed that I have no knowledge of the plaintiff's statement that 'I love Shi Ran and control him'."
"I have always had a brotherly relationship with Shi Ran. I didn't want him to have too much contact with mechas or apply to military school, but it was just out of concern for his younger brother. He had poor grades and was weak, so I was worried that something might happen to Shi Ran."
"It's definitely not out of the plaintiff's so-called love!"
Zhu Qingchen leaned back in his chair, looked at him, pursed his lips, and had a slightly sarcastic look on his face.
I wonder what the readers of the original book would think when they see this scene?
The "beautiful love" that was infinitely praised in the original book doesn't seem to be so "beautiful".
Shi Ran had to endure numerous hardships and dangers to stay with Shen Xiuping and forgive Shen Xiuping for everything.
But once Shen Xiuping encountered trouble, he would immediately cut off his tail to survive and abandon his and Shi Ran's "beautiful love".
The so-called affectionate and gentle top is just this.
Shen Xiuping calmed down, his expression unchanged, and continued: "The origin of all this is the plaintiff's misunderstanding. A teenager in adolescence is originally in love and thinks that everyone will like him. It is normal for Shi Ran to misunderstand that I like him."
"Everything I did to him might have been excessive, but I definitely didn't have any other thoughts. Shi Ran's grades in school weren't very good before, and that's why I didn't let him apply to the military academy."
"I graduated from a military academy and worked in the military for many years. I know how hard war is, so I don't want Shi Ran to suffer! That's all!"
Zhu Qingchen held the microphone in front of him: “Chen Xiuping, don’t you feel embarrassed when you say this?”
"Do we need to play the evidence we just played again? In front of Shi Ran's teachers and classmates, you personally admitted that Shi Ran was your fiancé. When I, your tutor, first came to your house, you also personally admitted it."
"Your housekeeper tacitly agreed that Shi Ran would marry you; you sneaked into Shi Ran's room late at night and told him all the benefits of marrying you; you even asked a tailor to come to your house two months ago to make wedding dresses for you and Shi Ran!"
"Now you say you have no intention or behavior of harassing Shi Ran? Shen Xiuping, who would call his own brother his 'fiancée'?!"
Shen Xiuping paused and explained weakly: "This is just a joke... Because, because my parents are usually very busy, the identity of my fiancée makes it easier for me to deal with Shi Ran's affairs at school."
"Nonsense." Zhu Qingchen sneered, "Isn't your brother's identity enough for you to handle? I don't believe that any teacher in any school would not let you get involved in Shi Ran's affairs just because you are his brother!"
Shen Xiuping finally fell silent.
He was powerless to refute it. The video evidence was irrefutable. He only hated himself for speaking without restraint and saying what was really in his heart.
He turned his head and glanced at Father Shen.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he said loudly: "Okay, even if I have bad intentions towards Shi Ran, my parents don't know about this at all! They are innocent!"
He changed his strategy and decided to save his parents first.
As long as his parents can be acquitted and allowed to stay in the capital, their family will be able to maintain their connections in the capital.
As long as he can stay, he still has a chance!
So Shen Xiuping shouted: "My parents are innocent! They know nothing!"
As expected of a family, Father Shen and Mother Shen immediately understood and nodded repeatedly: “Yes, we don’t know anything.”
"We always thought Xiuping loved his younger brother too much. We didn't know that Xiuping had such feelings for Xiaoran. At most, we didn't notice it, but we definitely didn't deliberately indulge him!"
"If we had known that Xiuping had such feelings for Xiaoran, we would have separated the two children long ago!"
Each member of this family is better than the other at confusing right and wrong.
Zhu Qingchen took off his gold-rimmed glasses, slammed them on the table, grabbed the microphone on the table, and stood up suddenly.
"Chen Xiuping dragged Shi Ran home more than once; after Shi Ran entered junior high school, Chen Xiuping broke into his room more than once at night; Shi Ran complained to you more than once, and you said you didn't know?"
"An adult couple, married and having a son, are also former members of the Guards. Their observation and judgment should be better than that of ordinary people. You say you can't see the mind of an adult? You say you can't tell the difference between family affection and perversion?"
"If there was a middle-aged man in his 40s or 50s who was always around Shen Xiuping, restricting his personal freedom, prohibiting him from working in the military, carrying him on his shoulders in public, and sneaking into his room at night, would you actually think this was family love?"
Shen's parents choked for a moment, obviously unable to answer.
Zhu Qingchen sneered: "It seems that your answers are very obvious. You know all these things very well."
Father Shen finally spoke: “Even if we have noticed something, we just don’t realize the seriousness of the problem. Mr. Zhu, no matter how much you say, it’s just speculation.”
"Is it illegal for us to travel? Is it illegal for us not to separate the brothers?"
"No, not only have we not committed any crime, we have also raised Shi Ran for so many years. Even if we have no merits, we have worked hard! According to the Imperial Orphan Law, families who adopt warrior orphans can be given a lighter sentence during the trial!"
Zhu Qingchen played with the round-frame glasses in his hand and raised his head slightly: "Well said, it is true. According to the Orphan Law, you can be treated leniently. But I want to say——"
"This rule is fundamentally wrong!"
Zhu Qingchen put his glasses on the table and said, "According to my investigation, the Imperial Treasury allocates a portion of funds every year to families who adopt orphans to ensure the orphans' quality of life."
"Also, after Shi Ran's parents died while doing what was right, the Empire paid Shi Ran a large sum of compensation. Since Shi Ran was still young at the time, you will keep the money for the time being."
"These two sums of money combined are enough to support ten Shi Rans to lead an extremely superior life!"
"Where is the money now?" The Shen couple looked embarrassed, lowered their heads, and did not dare to look at people.
"I'll answer. This money is in your home, in your estate! In your banquets! In your stomach!"
"Also, you don't think that the things you did were so clean that I couldn't find out, right? The benefits you gained from Shi Ran are far more than this."
“On the day you adopted Shi Ran, you couldn’t wait to hold a so-called welcome party for him. That wasn’t Shi Ran’s welcome party, it was a party for you to join the ‘Adoptive Family Committee’!”
"I don't deny that there are kind families in the Adoptive Family Committee who have made a lot of efforts to adopt soldiers' orphans. But you just adopted Shi Ran and joined the committee in order to get to know the powerful and expand your network."
"Because you adopted Shi Ran, you have gained a good reputation. For ten consecutive years, you have received the Outstanding Family Medal and bonus issued by the Empire."
"Because he adopted Shi Ran, Shen Xiuping failed the unified exam, but was still able to study at the Capital Military Academy and work in the military. You bribed an official to restart Shi Ran's father's military number in the name of Shi Ran's brother!"
Zhu Qingchen's voice echoed throughout the entire courtroom of 10,000 people.
When this matter was mentioned, the Shen family became anxious.
"Shut up! Zhu Qingchen, shut up!"
Zhu Qingchen just ignored them, his voice still steady and clear.
"The Imperial Orphan Law stipulates that orphans can take the unified exam and, as long as their scores are above the passing line, they can directly enter military academies regardless of their majors. After graduation, as long as their grades are satisfactory, they can also work in the military."
"Chen Xiuping took the place that originally belonged to Shi Ran as Shi Ran's brother! He inherited the military number of Shi Ran's father!"
“——This is the real reason why Shen Xiuping tried so hard to stop Shi Ran from taking the exam.”
"He's afraid of being exposed."
"He himself did not do well in the exam, so he thought Shi Ran would not do well either; he took Shi Ran's place, and once Shi Ran took the exam, everything he did would be exposed!"
In the original book, the so-called "love" is simply a huge joke!
It was a bright and shiny outer layer. When the outer layer was peeled off, the praised "gentle daddy type" was actually a blood-sucking worm that was sucking blood from Shi Ran!
He didn't do well in the exam, so he couldn't enter the military academy or join the military.
If he is a genius and Shi Ran wants to apply to a military academy, he can definitely help Shi Ran review. Wouldn't it be a good thing for two brothers to go to the battlefield?
But he was a loser, he couldn't do it, he was afraid that Shi Ran would see that he was a loser, so he could only pull the genius down in secret!
What a bullshit gentleness, it's just a coat of a blood-sucking worm!
The Shen family went completely crazy and howled loudly on the judgement bench, like a monster that had been skinned and finally revealed its true form.
They howled loudly, trying to interrupt Zhu Qingchen and also trying to interrupt the thoughts of others.
Zhu Qingchen held the microphone and looked at them steadily: "Your family is lying on Shi Ran's family, sucking their bones and marrow, wishing to squeeze every penny out of them."
"I want to ask you, when you wake up in the middle of the night, aren't you afraid that Shi Ran's parents will come after you?"
Mother Shen has gone completely crazy, shouting: “It’s not me, it’s not me, it has nothing to do with me!”
"Xiuping is Shi Ran's older brother. Xiuping just made a mistake during the exam. His grades are so good, he is the hope of our family. Shi Ran's grades are so bad, it would be a waste to leave his quota there. Why can't he use it?"
"They have a deep brotherly love for each other. One of them works in the military, and the other stays at home with us and takes care of the household chores. What's wrong with that?"
"Shi Ran differentiated into a Beta, but we still agreed to let him marry Xiu Ping. Didn't we treat him badly? He is a Beta, Xiu Ping could have married an Omega! Isn't it love for him to marry a Beta? Didn't he feel wronged?"
She is indeed her biological mother. Even in this situation, she can still find so many excuses.
Two soldiers pressed the already mad mother Shen on the judgment seat and blocked her mouth.
