Ye Xinyu opened the private chat window, her tone fierce as she interrogated the old man called Hua Heshang who usually supported her the most, "What do you mean? Didn’t you agree last night to testify for me in court? Are you chickening out now, or are you even a man?"
Hua Heshang replied quickly, "A true man knows when to bend and when to stand. It’s not our fault, really. Sheng Shaochen acted as if this matter had nothing to do with him, so we dared to agree to testify for you. Who would’ve guessed that upon arrival at the scene today, all we see are the Sheng Family’s luxury cars? Isn’t this Sheng Shaochen clearly warning us? We can’t just gamble with our lives for the sake of loyalty, right? Besides, even if you win the lawsuit, I wouldn’t get any benefit from it."
"Then just admit you’re a coward and not a man, you piece of trash!" Ye Xinyu felt like killing someone. With so many reporters outside, if she backed down now because she couldn’t find a witness, her future would be over.
So she sent another message to Hua Heshang, "What will it take for you to testify in court?"
"..." Hua Heshang hesitated for a long time before replying, "Unless you give me two million. After I testify for you, I’ll need to flee abroad for a while."
"Fine, I agree. Once we win the lawsuit, I’ll transfer two million to you immediately!" Ye Xinyu’s grip on her phone tightened as if she was about to crush it.
"No way, transfer a deposit of fifty thousand first, I’ll send you my account number right away!" Hua Heshang immediately sent her a string of bank account numbers, "I’m right outside the courthouse, the hearing is about to start, you decide what to do. If I don’t receive the deposit, I won’t testify."
After saying that, Hua Heshang stopped replying to Ye Xinyu, no matter what she said...
At that moment, a commotion came from outside!
Looking through the glass window, Ye Xinyu saw the car from Jin City First Prison slowly come to a stop, and as soon as the door opened, a group of Sheng Family bodyguards immediately rolled out the red carpet right up to the door of the prison van. The smile on Ye Shu’s face as she stepped out of the van felt like a sharp knife deeply wounding her.
Gritting her teeth, she transferred five hundred thousand to Hua Heshang!
She was all in today, ready to risk everything to ensure Ye Shu was convicted and spent her entire life in prison!
As soon as Ye Shu stepped out of the prison van, she saw Ou Linlin rush towards her with a running hug!
Seeing this, the prison guard quickly intervened, "Miss, please keep your distance!"
Ou Linlin shot the prison guard an annoyed glance, "What’s the big deal!"
Ye Shu laughed and said, "Linlin, don’t worry, I’m fine."
Ou Linlin said, "Uh-huh, Ye Shu, don’t be scared. Look at all these cars around, they’re all sent by your Ah Chen to back you up, pretty impressive, right?"
Ye Shu looked around, not really at the cars, but searching for the one person she most wanted to see.
"Are you looking for Ah Chen? They just told me, he’s busy with something, but he’ll have a surprise for you later."
"Oh, got it!" Ye Shu wanted to talk more with Linlin but was instead ushered into silence by the prison guard and led inside.
With five minutes to go before the start of the trial, the gallery was already packed....
As soon as Ye Xinyu saw Ye Shu being escorted to the defendant’s seat, she couldn’t help but yell out, "Ye Shu, you murderer!"
"Order! Order!" the judge banged the gavel on the desk and announced, "The Diamond Square falling case, now in session!"
