Su Man knew very well what Jiang Ying wanted to do. Because of Secretary Qin's relationship, she had been invited to the Zeng family by President Zeng several times. If she came forward to testify and confirmed Zeng Qirui's bad behavior towards Jiang Yao, and that the Zeng couple also assisted him, then Jiang Yao would naturally be given a lighter punishment.
Jiang Ying wanted to use her testimony to drag the Zeng couple into the water, so that not only them but also the teacher's brand image would be affected.
It would be best if we could force Mr. Zeng to reconcile. Even if that is not possible, we can put Jiang Yao on the weaker side and give him a lighter punishment.
For Jiang Yao, Jiang Ying can be said to have calculated every step.
After proposing cooperation, Jiang Ying looked at Su Man with a firm gaze. She was absolutely sure that Su Man would agree.
Although Suman had been holding a grudge against her for a long time, as a half-grown child with no money, no place to live, and with a seriously ill sister, she had no reason to disagree.
"I know you hate me. As long as you nod, I can kneel down and apologize to you immediately."
Seeing that Su Man didn't answer, Jiang Ying simply stood up from the sofa, ignored the broken glass on the ground and knelt down. Although she was wearing a skirt, there were faint traces of blood.
"As long as you agree, I'm willing to do anything."
Su Man looked down at Jiang Ying. Jiang Ying was a person who had the ability to bend and stretch in her bones. Su Man suddenly became curious about what kind of growing environment could shape her into what she is today.
"Aunt Jiang, if you want me to help you, let me ask you a question first."
Jiang Ying raised her head, her eyes bloodshot. Days of running around had made her look much older, and she was exhausted. But even so, she still looked at Su Man eagerly, "You say."
"My mother's death, do you have anything to do with it?"
Jiang Ying was startled. Her eyes flickered for a moment before returning to normal. "Xiao Man, what are you talking about? Sister Tian Jiao was gone when I walked in. How could Sister Tian Jiao's death have anything to do with me?"
"You know that's not what I'm talking about."
Su Man's face was stern. "What I'm saying is, have you ever induced Jiang Xiangrong, or hinted to him in any way in your daily life?"
This is what Su Man has been thinking about in recent days. Jiang Xiangrong is obviously timid and has no ability, so how could he come up with such a meticulous plan and implement it so seamlessly.
After this period of time, Su Man was quite clear that Jiang Ying never made enemies with others, and what she was best at was shifting the blame to others and killing people with borrowed knives.
Although Jiang Xiangrong would not tell her about such a serious murder, she was smart enough to understand what Jiang Xiangrong was thinking.
If she were to chat with him at this time, tell him some gossip about his wife's murder, take him to watch some murder movies, or even magnify the grievances Jiang Xiangrong suffered from Yang Tianjiao, it would encourage the timid Jiang Xiangrong to take a risk.
For Jiang Ying, these were as easy as pie.
After listening to Su Man's words, Jiang Ying looked at her silently for a long time. She stood up straight with the help of the coffee table, and the pleading look on her face faded away.
At this moment she already understood that Su Man would not help her.
Kneeling for a long time and the injury on her leg made her walking posture strange, but she did not stop and went up the stairs step by step holding on to them.
-
The two days before the trial were a real game of chess. I don’t know what method Jiang Ying used to make those who had been bullied by Zeng Qirui before open their mouths.
Not only that, she also set up an anti-bullying aid group where all students who have been bullied can come and seek help.
This move obviously won the favor of many people and even gained a small number of supporters.
Mr. Zeng naturally would not sit idly by. He turned the whole story upside down about Jiang Xiangrong's extramarital affair with Jiang Ying and the birth of an illegitimate child.
In order to completely destroy the Jiang family, he used the gossip magazines to fabricate a story in which the mistress forced the wife to abdicate, causing her to worry too much and die in childbirth.
Although it was fabricated, many people still believed it among the true and false news.
The matter became more and more serious, and more and more people paid attention to this case.
On the day of the trial, the entire process was open to the public and was broadcast live on the Internet.
In court, the lawyers on both sides argued fiercely with each holding their own opinions. They were all leaders in their fields, presenting evidence and citing classics, and were able to quote legal clauses with ease.
Jiang Yao, the defendant, stood on the left, his hands hanging. His hair, once medium-length, had been cut short. He had been living in the detention center for a while. Whether it was because he was worried about his future or because life there was too hard, his handsome face had become emaciated. The detention vest he wore felt like a thousand pounds, bending his back.
Not to mention Jiang Ying, even Jiang Xiangrong, who appeared in court as the guardian, couldn't help sighing when they saw Jiang Yao like this.
The Zeng family sued Jiang Yao for intentional homicide, but Jiang Ying's lawyer denied the intentional homicide on the grounds that Jiang Yao had been bullied in the Zeng family and had a mental breakdown.
Moreover, Jiang Yao is not yet eighteen years old. The law mainly implements the policy of persuasion, education, and rescue for juvenile crimes, so the punishment for Jiang Yao should be as light as possible, reduced if possible, or avoided if possible.
The plaintiff's lawyer stated that Jiang Yao was already fourteen years old and had the ability to think independently. In this case, he clearly had the intention to kill, and the circumstances were serious, so he must be severely punished.
The two sides argued and expressed their opinions. Finally, the judge decided to adjourn the court temporarily and let both sides present their evidence later.
The judge left and Jiang Yao was also taken away.
Jiang Ying kept looking at Jiang Yao, wanting to say something to him, but Jiang Yao never looked in her direction from beginning to end.
After a short recess, the second round of trial began. Zeng's side had both witnesses and evidence, and Jiang Yao had no way to deny it.
Jiang Ying also made sufficient preparations. Starting from Jiang Yao's personality and growth environment, and adding the torture recorded in Jiang Yao's diary, it can be seen that Jiang Yao's attack this time was not intentional, but a murder in the heat of the moment.
...
During the communication between the lawyers of both sides, Jiang Yao suddenly raised his head.
It turned out that the lawyer mentioned inadvertently that Jiang Yao was not conceived naturally, but through in vitro fertilization.
The debate continued, but Jiang Yao seemed to hear nothing.
He remembered what Su Man had said: Jiang Yao, I actually sympathize with you. From the time you were born to your entire life, you have been an appendage of Jiang Ying. You will never be able to live for yourself in this life.
She was right. It turned out that his birth was not his own choice.
"Hehehe, hehehehe..."
In the courtroom, Jiang Yao suddenly laughed.
This unusual behavior interrupted the defendant's lawyer, who had the upper hand. Under everyone's gaze, Jiang Yao suddenly spoke, "I did it on purpose."
