Chapter 831 Qiao Xi, I'm Completely Lost to You

Zhong Yi just felt it was boring and said lightly: "I give it to you."

There is no point in him keeping it if he can't deliver it to Qiao Xi.

Feng Nanxi couldn't believe it: "You gave it to me? This gift is so valuable, and you just gave it away. If I didn't want it, would you just throw it in the trash?" She stuffed the jewelry box into Zhong Yi's hand.

"You can keep it for yourself. If you really don't want to see it, give it to someone else. I don't need this kind of charity anyway."

Feng Nanxi loves money, but she makes it in a proper way.

She doesn't want such things of unknown origin.

Zhong Yi smiled and said, "You are quite noble."

"I just don't want to be someone's trash can." Feng Nanxi was not used to his bad habit.

Zhong Yi put the jewelry box under the collar of his suit, walked around Feng Nanxi and went into the court.

Feng Nanxi also followed. How could she leave now when she didn't even see the biggest event of the day?

The court held a public trial of Lu Bannong.

The gallery was full of people.

There were a huge crowd, but in such a quiet place no one dared to make any noise.

Qiao Xi sat near the front, and she almost didn't recognize Lu Bannong when he was brought in. In just half a month, he seemed to have aged a lot, walked slowly, coughed a little, and his hair and beard were messy.

There is no trace of its former glory anywhere.

There was less hostility on Lu Yingxue's face, she looked very calm, as if she had accepted her fate.

The court's trial process is lengthy and detailed.

Each process is almost drowsy.

Until the evidence stage.

Cheng Han sat in the witness stand.

The whole audience was shocked!

"Mr. Cheng?"

"Did I stay up late last night and see a ghost in the daytime? I remember attending Mr. Cheng's funeral before. Did I go to the wrong place that day?"

"Cheng Han is still alive!"

"Why is he here?"

"I can tell at a glance that you didn't listen carefully to the judge's verdict just now. Lu Bannong is suspected of murder! Among them is Mr. Cheng. Who would have thought that Mr. Cheng is not dead and is actually sitting in the witness stand."

Lu Bannong didn't believe it either.

He turned his head mechanically and stared at Cheng Han.

When he was detained, he was still thinking that it would not be a loss to drag Cheng Han to hell with him in this life. But he did not expect that Cheng Han was still alive. The needle that had been stuck in his heart for his whole life was still there!

This is the thing that Lu Bannong cannot accept the most.

He even grabbed the edge of the table frantically, "How are you still alive! How is it possible that you are still alive!"

The bailiff held him back to prevent him from getting too excited.

Cheng Han sat in the witness box and said coldly: "Thanks to you, I didn't die. Thank you for not killing me all, so I was able to keep my life."

“You guys…” Lu Bannong’s face turned pale and his eyes almost popped out.

He stared at Qiao Xi in the audience, looking back and forth.

That look seemed to be filled with poison.

"You and your disciple have teamed up to plot against me!"

The funeral was all a show, making him think that Cheng Han was dead and he would be able to do whatever he wanted, and he was not as careful as before. He thought that no one would ever challenge his position, but he fell into their trap step by step.

"Silent!"

The judge banged his gavel.

The courtroom suddenly became quiet, with only Lu Bannong breathing heavily, but he didn't say anything else.

There was resentment in his eyes!

When Cheng Han was questioned by the judge, he described in detail the needle-testing conference that took place more than 20 years ago and the subsequent manhunt.

"He tricked my daughter into giving him drugs and deceived her feelings. Lu Yingxue was indeed his and my daughter's child, but he later abandoned her in order to marry into the He family, which led to her suicide. But my daughter did not die. He concealed the truth for so many years and locked her up in the Chinese Medicine Association, calling it treatment, but in fact he slowly increased the dosage of the drugs... causing her condition to become more and more serious."

"He used my daughter as bait in this needle testing competition to lure me out. He sent people to chase me, and I fell down the hillside and became unconscious. I was not rescued until someone sent by my apprentice..."

The police have already investigated the scene for traces.

We did find some traces, and followed the clues to find the people sent by the Lu family.

Cheng Han's statement let everyone know the inside story.

They are numb.

The Lu family has no moral bottom line in doing things.

The process took more than two hours to complete.

The evidence produced during this period cannot be refuted.

Lu Bangnong had a sad face and knew that the situation was hopeless, but he looked at Lu Yingxue with hatred. He never imagined that the one who would drag him into hell in the end would be his own daughter.

There are many charges, and if Lu Yingxue had not provided clues, the police would never have linked these cases together.

After all this, even if the most powerful lawyer in the capital defended him, Lu Bannong would still be sentenced to life imprisonment.

There is no hope in this life.

However, Lu Yingxue still has hope in her life, because even if she is in prison, she can still look forward to the day when she will be released.

The judge banged the gavel and said, "Now, please allow the defendant to make his final statement."

This final statement is related to the outcome of the trial.

Lu Bannong was filled with grief and anger, knowing that the outcome was not good. No matter how much he explained, he would have to stay in prison for the rest of his life. He could not accept such a huge gap. Not long ago, he led the Lu family to squeeze into the four major families, but now he became a prisoner.

Lu Bannong slowly looked towards the audience. Those people were there to laugh at him.

Damn!

hateful!

The first thing others say is "Dear Judge", please give me a chance to reform.

Lu Bannong gritted his teeth and looked around the room like a bloodthirsty man, saying, "I plead not guilty!"

"I don't plead guilty!"

"If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth! I do things for myself, what's wrong with that! The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. Do you dare to swear that you have never done anything shameful in your life? It's just that no one has ever found out!"

"I! Do! Not! Confess!"

He was being held tightly by the bailiff, but he still managed to squeeze out these words.

In comparison, Lu Yingxue's attitude was much better.

"Dear Chief Judge, Judges. I am here to make my final statement. First of all, I sincerely apologize to the victims. Due to my weak legal awareness and special family environment, I have done many wrong things. I plead guilty and accept the punishment, and I will reform myself. I hope that you will give me a chance to correct my mistakes and sentence me to a reduced sentence or suspended sentence because I provided relevant clues and surrendered myself."

Lu Yingxue's attitude was sincere, but it could not change the crimes she had committed. It was just that turning herself in and making meritorious contributions would probably result in a possible sentence reduction.

Finally the judge made his decision.

Lu Bannong was sentenced to life imprisonment, to be executed immediately.

Lu Bangnong was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood and sat paralyzed in his seat half-dead.

Lu Yingxue was sentenced to five years in prison and one year of probation.

Boom!

The gavel falls!

"The court hearing is over and the court is now closed. Please ask the bailiff to take the defendant back to the prison for continued detention."

When the bailiffs were escorting Lu Yingxue away, she suddenly turned around and looked at Qiao Xi and said loudly, "I have completely lost to you."

From the moment I felt the threat and thought about getting rid of her, I had already lost.
