Chapter 327: Have You Seen Enough!
Suddenly, Dan Hanjie’s hand tightened at his side.
In an instant, he felt a chill in the palm of his hand, as if something was slipping away from his grasp, and he couldn’t hold on to it.
Panicking, he quickly stepped forward, took Qin Youxuan’s small hand, and pulled her to his side.
Qin Youxuan was just about to open the side door and go in when he stopped her.
“Let’s go.” Dan Hanjie’s thin lips barely moved, pausing after each word.
His grip on Qin Youxuan’s hand tightened.
Qin Youxuan stood stunned, then suddenly reached up to touch his forehead.
She couldn’t understand why, after finally getting in, and not seeing anything yet, they had to leave.
“Let’s leave here first, don’t watch anymore.”
Dan Hanjie grabbed the hand she put on his forehead, his voice filled with undisguised tension.
It was then that Qin Youxuan noticed his unusual behavior, and narrowed her eyes in puzzlement, “What’s wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?”
“So is there something urgent?” Qin Youxuan blinked, innocent and naive.
“If you have something urgent to attend to, go ahead, It’s okay. It won’t take me much time to take a look in. I’ll take a taxi back later. I have my wallet.”
As Qin Youxuan spoke, she playfully dangled her handbag in front of Dan Hanjie. The movement was cute and wild.
Before Dan Hanjie could say anything, a dull knock could be heard from the courtroom.
The solemn and sacred sound clearly entered everyone’s ears.
“… In view of the lack of clear evidence from the prosecution, coupled with insufficient witness testimony, the court rules that Ms. Jin Lan is not guilty of murder. She is to be released immediately!”
Released immediately…
Released immediately…
Qin Youxuan’s body stiffened, and she broke free from Dan Hanjie’s hand, turned around and rushed forward, pushing open the heavy wooden door.
She took mechanical steps in.
Her eyes searched the room until they found Jin Lan on the defendant’s bench.
Qin Youxuan stood at the farthest side door, so far from the judge’s position, so far from the defendant’s bench.
But she could clearly see the joy on Jin Lan’s face, and the smile at the corner of Jin Chenye’s lips…
It was so blatant, so dazzling.
Even Meng Ziqi, who had been disqualified as a witness due to inconsistent narratives, was standing next to Jin Chenye, and congratulating Jin Lan with delight on his face.
“Auntie, I knew you were innocent, you’ll be alright, and now that you’re free, you can rest and recover…”
Jin Lan was so moved she couldn’t speak, she leaned forward in her wheelchair, clutched Meng Ziqi’s hand tightly, and tears streamed down her face.
After a while, she grabbed Jin Chenye’s hand and placed Meng Ziqi’s hand on top of it, trying to express something in fits and starts.
She was so excited she couldn’t even speak clearly.
Jin Lan was acquitted, so what about the long time she spent in prison, convicted as a murderer?
Qin Youxuan’s eyes were wide open, her hands clenched into tight fists, the nails digging into her palms without her noticing the pain.
She gritted her teeth, refusing to believe what she heard.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, Jin Chenye lifted his head and looked directly at Qin Youxuan.
Meeting Qin Youxuan’s teary eyes, Jin Chenye hesitated and subconsciously withdrew his hand that was holding Meng Ziqi’s.
Neither of them looked away, just gazing at each other across the crowd for a long time.
“Have you had enough?!”
A warm palm suddenly covered Qin Youxuan’s eyes, pulling her back.
