Chapter 91 Mental Illness? She Could Have It Too
Los Angeles courts.
When Shen Zhiwei was brought out, she had completely lost all her former pride, confidence, and elegance.
I haven't seen her for several months, and I can hardly recognize her.
Even so, Qiao Xu felt no pity for her whatsoever.
She's not a saint.
Shen Zhao also appeared with her.
His condition was even worse than Shen Zhiwei's; his face was covered in bruises, and he walked with a limp.
The only thing that remained unchanged was the way he looked at Shen Zhiwei; his gaze was still filled with the same heartache as always.
Qiao Xu asked the man beside her in a low voice, "Did you have someone beat him up?"
Xu Si'an put his arm around her waist, pulled down her mask, kissed her cheek, and quickly put it back on.
"Couldn't it be that the people inside don't like him?"
"Wife, he deserves to die."
Even if he didn't orchestrate everything, he was the one who carried it out. His death is not innocent.
Shen Zhiwei looked somewhat dazed, and when she turned her head, she met Qiao Xu's gaze.
Her gaze fell on the man wearing a black mask next to Qiao Xu, and in an instant, she screamed.
"ah!!!!"
She frantically tried to break free from the prison guards: "Impossible, you can't be alive, what right do you have to be alive?"
Qiao Xu tried to stand up, but the man next to her held her hand down.
"Ignore her, she's a clown."
He just wanted to see her go crazy.
He wanted her to know that everything she had carefully planned was ultimately in vain.
Qiao's mother looked at Shen Zhao and sobbed softly.
When the trial began, Xu Shiran sat in the first row of the jury.
He was much thinner than before, and not as spirited as he used to be.
Xu Si'an sneered from behind his black mask.
If it weren't for that bitch Shen Zhiwei, they might still be brothers.
Undeniably, Xu Shiran treated him very well in the past, and he truly experienced the benefits of having an older brother.
When Xu Shiran turned around, he met Xu Si'an's gaze, and the former's expression changed drastically.
When Shen Zhao was sentenced, he confessed without hesitation, completely exonerating Shen Zhiwei.
But it was of no use.
Shen Zhiwei's situation is different from his. All the evidence proves that Shen Zhiwei was the mastermind behind hiring someone to kill him.
Including the medical accident involving Joe's father four years ago.
With prior notice from Si Shen, Shen Zhao was sentenced to 27 years in prison, deprived of his political rights for life, and barred from appealing for life.
It wasn't the death penalty that was the reason; it was because Xu Si'an didn't want him to die so easily.
When it was Shen Zhiwei's turn, she suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, pointing at Xu Si'an.
“He, he is not dead. I am innocent. You cannot judge me. I am in labor.”
Xu Si'an's lawyer stood up: "Your Honor, I have here a record of Mr. Xu's several life-threatening surgeries and resuscitations over the past three months."
“My client was able to escape this predicament entirely because he was saved by a benefactor. Witnesses have been waiting for a long time, and I request that they be summoned.”
Chang Yi appeared before everyone with Ye Mengmeng.
Many people present gasped, and some of the more timid ones screamed softly.
Qiao Xu and her daughter only felt heartache in their eyes.
What a beautiful child.
With tears in her eyes, Qiao's mother said to Qiao Xu, "Xu Xu, on the anniversary of your father's death in a while, you two will go home together and let Xiao Yi offer incense and kowtow to your father. From now on, he will be our Qiao family's son."
“Okay, let’s hold a banquet in our hometown so that all the uncles, aunts, and other relatives can get to know each other.”
Qiao Xu whispered something to her mother, and a smile finally appeared on her mother's face.
"In that case, half of the dowry your father saved for you will be given to your younger brother to help him get married in the future."
Qiao Xu was furious.
She gets angry when the topic of dowry comes up; her parents value these worthless things more than their own lives.
"I don't want it, you can give it all to Ayi."
Xu Si'an coaxed Qiao Xu in a low voice, "Why are you angry with Mom?"
It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, but once he did, he immediately started to dislike him: "Who has the same mother as you?"
Xu Si'an was pulled out of the sea by Chang Yi; the scars on his face and the wounds on his body are the best proof of that.
Ye Mengmeng also recreated the scene of seeing Chang Yi and Xu Si'an that day.
Qiao Xu kicked the man next to her without making a sound.
Is this what he meant by being very strong and wanting to live?
"Honey, I'm confused, I don't remember."
“Go to Beijing yourself.” Qiao Xu pulled her hand away from his grasp.
Shen Zhiwei's case involves more than just kidnapping and hiring hitmen; there's also the dead gambler driver. Even if he was a gambler, he still had a life.
Before the trial, Xu Shiran's chief assistant handed a file folder to the lawyer.
A hint of coldness flashed in Qiao Xu's eyes.
Given all this, how could Shen Zhiwei possibly escape?
She was so lucky. She didn't deny that Xu Shiran was a good man, and that Shen Zhiwei was not good enough for him.
But Xu Shiran's love is aiding and abetting evil.
Shen Zhiwei sat in the chair and curled her lips. Her pale face and lips made her look no different from a ghost.
It's intimidating.
Sure enough, Xu Shiran's assistant provided a document stating that Shen Zhiwei was suffering from postpartum depression due to a miscarriage and had applied for out-of-court treatment.
Qiao Xu clenched her fists tightly. Couldn't she be convicted even for this?
Is he mentally ill?
She can have that too, can't she?
What if...?
A man in military uniform walked in from outside the courthouse and told the presiding judge that the person Shen Zhiwei hired to kill her was a key target of the Beijing Municipal Criminal Police Team and was now dead and unable to testify.
According to the document issued by the Beijing Municipal Criminal Investigation Team, the case is now being handled by the Beijing Municipal Criminal Investigation Team, and Shen Zhiwei will be sent to Beijing for investigation.
Xu Shiran's expression changed drastically, and Shen Zhiwei was equally unable to accept it.
Xu Si'an took off his mask and kissed Qiao Xu's face: "Senior brother already knew that Xu Shiran had someone issue a certificate of Shen Zhiwei's postpartum depression, so he specially asked Brother Si to issue the document in advance."
"That gambler."
"It's true there's a murder case, but it's not in Beijing. Brother Si is the captain of the criminal investigation team in Beijing. Getting someone isn't difficult for him."
Shen Zhiwei was forcibly taken away in full view of everyone: "Brother Shiran, save me, save me, I'm scared."
Xu Shiran stood there, watching the departing figures of Xu Si'an and the others.
Xu Si'an got up and led Qiao Xu out of the courthouse.
"Xu Si'an".
The two stopped, and Qiao Xu held Xu Si'an's hand tightly.
He kissed her forehead: "Go wait for me in the car, I need to talk to him for a bit."
Chang Yi, who had already gotten into the car, got out again: "Sister-in-law, get in the car."
Qiao Xu let go of Xu Si'an's hand and got into the car, looking back every few steps.
Xu Si'an preemptively said, "Come see if I'm dead or not? You've really disappointed your whole family. I'm tough as nails."
Chang Yi stood only two steps away from Xu Si'an.
The hideous scar on his face was hard to ignore.
"I don't."
Xu Shiran's voice was hoarse and weak, and he felt very tired and powerless.
"Xiao An, we've been brothers for over twenty years. I wouldn't want you to die."
Xu Si'an sneered and moved closer to him.
"Not that bad?"
"Your mother and your wife don't think that way."
“They would love to kill me and my Qiaoqiao.”
"Xu Shiran, you are not innocent."
