Ye Shu’s statement caused an immediate upheaval!
Within the normally orderly courtroom, such an outrageous testimony from the witness made it impossible for everyone to contain themselves. They pointed and gestured towards the Bald Man, even the jury found it incredible.
Seeing the situation turning against him, the Bald Man panicked, but by now he was in too deep to back out. He insisted without much conviction, "I’m not lying, she really did push Ye Shengli down that day."
Ye Xinyu glared at the Bald Man, whose shifting eyes and lack of confidence made her tremble with fury. What an idiot, easily falling into Ye Shu’s trap—dumber than a pig.
This spelled trouble for herself...
"So you still want to continue lying?" Ye Shu looked colly at the Bald Man, seizing the moment of his confusion to add another blow, "You accepted five million from Ye Xin as a bribe to bear false witness for her in court. Do you know how many years that amount can land you in prison?"
Upon hearing this, the Bald Man grew desperate, "Bullshit! Where did you get that figure of five million? I only received fifty thousand as a deposit from her! Don’t believe me? Look!"
As he spoke, the Bald Man took out his phone, intending to show the transaction record, but suddenly he felt stunned. He realized that he had truly been done in by that cunning woman, Ye Shu...
At this, the already irrepressible commotion in the courtroom erupted like a geyser!
Even a reporter, disregarding courtroom protocol, pointed a microphone straight at Ye Xinyu and asked, "Miss Ye Xinyu, just how deep must your hatred be to pay for a false witness to condemn your own cousin to death?"
"Yeah, Miss Ye Xinyu, tell us, how much money did you give to that Bald Man? Was it fifty thousand, or five million?"
Seeing the situation turning sour, the Bald Man suddenly made a break for it, sprinting towards the exit of the courtroom.
Unfortunately for him, Guan Jiu had already stationed people at the door.
With no way out, the Bald Man was forced to turn back and fell to his knees in front of the judge’s bench, pleading in terror, "Your Honor, I was wrong, I confess to being greedily tempted by Ye Xin into becoming a false witness for money. I can return it all, every single cent—please, Your Honor, Mr. Sheng, I beg you to show mercy, spare me..."
Ye Xinyu couldn’t stand it any longer; she rushed over and kicked the Bald Man several times, venting her anger, "You bastard, did I ask you to give false testimony? You said you saw Ye Shu push my father down, don’t falsely accuse me!"
The Bald Man suddenly stood up, pushed Ye Xinyu away and retorted, "Please, from that height, who could see clearly? Anyone using their brains would realize that. It’s your vendetta that made you believe what I said."
"You—you—you—..." Ye Xinyu, only now remembering to pretend to faint, attempted to muddle through.
Instead of giving her the chance to collapse, Ye Shu struck back, "Presiding judge, members of the court, I now counter-sue Ye Xin for making false accusations and framing me, driven by clear motives of revenge, and supported by irrefutable evidence!"
Seeing her chances of victory slipping away, Ye Xin turned spiteful, screaming in court, "Ye Shu, you despicable woman, give me back my father, give him back! You’ll get what’s coming to you!"
"Bang!" With a strike of the gavel, the presiding judge declared, "Outbursts are not allowed in the courtroom, Ye Xin, please be quiet!"
After this, the judge asked the jury to start compiling the discussion of the trial’s outcome.
