Chapter 396 Court Opening
The sound of the engine roared, Meng Anran stopped and looked at the silver-gray sports car that gradually appeared in front of her - the only Hennessey Venom in the whole of Beijing, and confirmed that it was Lu Yi without a doubt.
The sports car did a beautiful drift and parked steadily in front of her.
The driver's door opened like wings, and the first thing that came into view was the long legs wrapped in black tights, and then the particularly high-profile and recognizable silver hair.
Lu Yi wore his usual casual smile. He lowered his sunglasses and glanced at his watch. "Nine fifty. I'm really punctual."
The word modesty probably never appeared in his vocabulary.
Meng Anran rolled her eyes, but her tone was rarely filled with disdain: "If you don't come, I'm going to pull out my sword and chop you up."
Lu Yi bent down and moved closer to her. The sunlight sprinkled on his silver hair, making him look wanton and flamboyant. "If you had told me earlier that you missed me, I could have come earlier."
The close distance made his warm breath spray on her face when he spoke. Qin Mu, who was next to her, suddenly frowned and silently pulled Meng Anran towards him.
Lu Yi's reckless smile suddenly disappeared, and he glanced at Qin Mu unhappily, with jealousy in his eyes.
You little bastard, is it your turn to snatch someone from me?
Meng Anran had seen the look in his eyes many times before—like the possessive anger that arises when an outsider steps into one's territory.
For her sake, he didn't argue openly, but he used his eyes to express his dissatisfaction.
"Don't talk nonsense," Meng Anran glanced at him, turned around and walked up the stairs first, "Lin Lu and Ke Nai have already arrived, let's go in quickly."
Shortly after entering the courtroom and taking her seat in the gallery, Bai Yujin was escorted out by bailiffs and stood in the dock. The shackles on her wrists made a crisp sound when they collided with the metal railings.
Konai's knuckles were clenched white, and his eyes were fixed on the old face.
Maybe the power of the last heart-breaking attack was too great.
Bai Yujin looked listless and his eyes were empty, like a corpse without a soul.
Seeing her appearance that was neither human nor ghost, Meng Anran was quite satisfied, and the depression in her heart was relieved a lot.
The man who used his youngest son as a test subject and was not afraid of death was afraid that his eldest son would discover the dirty things he had done.
If you think about it, it's quite ironic.
The judge appeared with a solemn look on his face.
"Court is in session!"
"Now it's the plaintiff's turn." The judge struck the gavel.
Lin Rencheng stroked the hemostatic patch on the back of his hand after the IV drip. He slowly stood up and said in a steady and powerful voice, "The defendant, Bai Yujin, has been conducting illegal human experiments on at least 17 victims since 1994 without any ethical review..."
Every time he read a date, the corresponding evidence photos would appear on the projection screen simultaneously.
The yellowed experimental log records the subject number and drug reaction.
In the surveillance video, Bai Yujin personally injected the medicine into the unconscious child.
The most shocking thing was an X-ray that showed strange metal deposits on the subject's bones - this photo came from Lin Zhengru, who had been imprisoned for many years.
"Objection!" The defendant's lawyer suddenly stood up, "The source of this evidence is unknown—"
"The chain of evidence is complete," the prosecutor interrupted coldly, "all materials have been authenticated by the Forensic Identification Center."
The bailiff suddenly brought in the second defendant, Kong Liang.
This once arrogant man is now hunched over, and his condition is not much better than Bai Yujin.
Lin Rencheng continued his statement: "The second defendant, Kong Liang, knowing full well that his actions violated human ethics and laws, still assisted the first defendant, Bai Yujin, in developing illegal drugs that damage brain nerve tissue and conducting drug experiments on human subjects..."
For such a big case, the gallery was packed. After listening to Lin Rencheng's statement, they all clenched their fists and stared at Bai Yujin and Kong Liang fiercely.
If looks could kill, they would have been cut into pieces long ago.
Anyone who does such a heartless thing should be taken away and executed!
Many people were talking in low voices and whispering.
"What else is there to judge? This kind of person should be sentenced to death!"
"What do you know? Did you see those people wearing haute couture clothes over there? They're obviously the ones backing Bai Yujin!"
"I really don't understand. How can a lawyer still defend someone like Bai Yujin, a cancer that harms society?"
"You're blaming the wrong person. Generally, the courts will mandate legal aid lawyers for prisoners facing life imprisonment or the death penalty. Someone has to take on this difficult task."
"Just deal with it. He destroyed so many innocent families and still wants a reduced sentence. He should be shot on the spot!"
"Silence!" The judge banged the gavel majestically. "Call the witnesses."
Bai Yujin suddenly looked up, her cloudy eyes turning towards the audience. When she saw Lu Yi, her dry lips trembled violently: "Xiao Yi...you want it too..."
Lu Yi paused as he was playing with his sunglasses.
He slowly raised the corners of his lips, revealing a creepy smile: "Your only successful experimental subject, I just hope you go to hell."
He stood up, his silver hair like a sword drawn from its sheath in the solemn courtroom. When he walked past the dock, Bai Yujin suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes.
"Xiaoyi, you are my most perfect experimental subject, you can't betray me..."
"Heh..." Lu Yi sneered coldly, pulling back the corner of his clothes, his eyes filled with bloodshot. "In the end, I'm just an experimental subject."
Even though he was the child she carried for ten months and gave birth to, even though things had come to this point.
She never acknowledged him as her son from beginning to end.
"No...it shouldn't be like this..." Bai Yujin's eyes were ferocious and terrifying. She uttered these words in a trance and suddenly shook the iron railing frantically: "Lu Yi! You are my most successful white pigeon! You can only obey me! You must be absolutely loyal to me!"
The judge frowned suddenly, "First defendant, please remain silent!"
The bailiff quickly controlled Bai Yujin.
Lu Yi stood steadily in front of the witness stand, read the oath, and began to explain his testimony.
"I'm Yu Jin's second son, the first to be confessed. Ever since I was six, she's been ordering the cook to drug my food. At first, I didn't feel anything unusual, but then, gradually, I found myself losing control of my emotions, and occasionally, I'd completely lose my mind. My hair and skin were also gradually turning white."
Having said that, he took out the blood test report sent by Song Xu.
"This is a blood test report issued by the Marine Biotechnology Research Institute under the Lihai Group. It confirms that my non-congenital albinism is caused by a gene mutation due to long-term consumption of banned drugs."
The prosecutor stepped forward to take the test report, glanced at it briefly, and turned to look at the judge for his consent.
He did not project the report until the judge nodded in approval.
"Objection!" the defendant's lawyer raised his hand and said, "A single test report alone cannot prove that I, the first party, instigated the drugging and caused the witness's physical changes."
"The objection is valid," said the judge.
