After a tense wait, the day of the trial finally came. Xia Xizhi sat in the audience and watched the trial intently.

The procuratorate stored a lot of evidence, and the lawyer representing Ji Xiuyu and Manager Yang made a statement to defend Ji Xiuyu's innocence.

Judging from the current evidence, there is no physical evidence that can prove that Ji Xiuyu is related to this matter. But Manager Yang insisted that this matter was instructed by Ji Xiuyu, and the huge amount of bribes made Ji Xiuyu unable to get rid of suspicion.

After several hours of arguing, the court finally handed down the verdict of the first instance. Since Ji Xiuyu had no way to directly exonerate himself, the first-instance verdict was made for the crime of offering bribes by Ji Xiuyu's unit.

In addition, he is the president of Zhongkai Group, therefore, he was sentenced to two years in prison. However, because the Zhongkai Group has many affairs and is a multinational organization, the court has the discretion to handle it and give it a one-year suspended sentence.

Manager Yang was sentenced to two years without probation and was directly imprisoned.

Faced with such a result, Ji Xiuyu was not satisfied and appealed. After the hearing, the lawyer proceeds to the appeal.

Outside the courtroom, Xia Xizhi waited there with red eyes. From yesterday to today, he had been expecting a miracle, but in the end he was still waiting for such a result.

When Ji Xiuyu appeared, all the reporters rushed up to interview her.

"Mr. Ji Xiuyu, you were sentenced to two years, will this have an impact on the future of Zhongkai Group?" the reporter asked loudly.

"I heard that you have filed an appeal, what do you think are the chances of success for this?" asked another reporter persistently.

Ji Xiuyu didn't speak, and the bodyguard was responsible for helping him clear the way. I saw him with a blue face and a tense expression.

strode to Xia Xizhi's side, took her hand and left.

Sitting in the car, Xia Xizhi looked at him with tears streaming down his face. I obviously want to control my tears, but I always can't help myself.

Seeing his appearance, Ji Xiuyu gently wiped away her tears and said in a low voice: "Don't cry." This is only a first-instance judgment and does not represent a final decision. ”

Lowering his eyes, Xia Xizhi choked up and said, "But before the second trial starts, this trial will always be maintained." Xiuyu, you obviously didn't do it, why do you have to bear such a result?"

Looking at her, Ji Xiuyu said calmly: "The mall is already deceitful, and it will face various risks at any time. This time the other party is menacing, I didn't do a good job of coping with it, it will be designed, and I need to bear it. ”

Hearing this, Xia Xizhi said sadly: "If that's the case, then I'd rather you live your life doing nothing." ”

Pinching her cheeks, Ji Xiuyu said with a low smile: "Fool, that kind of mediocre life is not what I want. From the moment I walked into the mall, I knew there were going to be situations and I was never afraid. ”

Looking at him, Xia Xizhi said worriedly: "It is said that under normal circumstances, the judgment of the first instance will be upheld in the second instance, unless evidence is found. If you're really going to go to prison, what's that going to do?"

"If that's the case, will you wait for me?" Ji Xiuyu asked without answering.

Looking at his face, Ji Xiuyu replied seriously and firmly: "I will wait for you." ”

got the expected answer, Ji Xiuyu said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, I won't accept my fate, I will continue to look for evidence." I don't believe that the other side will do it seamlessly. If I still lose in the end, then I will have to live with the consequences. ”

Listening to his words and looking at her expression, Xia Xizhi didn't know what to say. Leaning on his shoulder slowly, Xia Xizhi said softly: "I hope that it will develop in a good direction." ”

In the evening, Ji Xiuyu and Xia Xizhi returned to Ji's house. Looking at him, the old man said angrily: "Such a big thing happened, and you all hid it from me." If I hadn't watched the news today, I wouldn't have known that something so serious was happening. ”

During this period of time, so many things have happened in Zhongkai Group in a row. The old man's physical condition was not very good, and Ji Xiuyu was worried that he would be stimulated. Therefore, he asked the Ji family to help hide it from him.

Coming to him, Ji Xiuyu bowed to him and said with a smile: "Grandpa, you don't have to worry too much, I'm fine." These things will be resolved soon. ”

Hearing this, the old man said angrily: "If it is really that easy, how can it be decided in the first instance." Xiu Yu, what's the situation in the company? You, don't take everything by yourself. ”

Holding him, Ji Xiuyu said gently: "Grandpa, I am already an adult, I know very well what to do." Although this matter is more tricky, it is not completely unsolvable. ”

helped him sit down on the sofa, and Ji Xiuyu sat beside him. Ji Xiuming walked over, sat down opposite them, and said with a smile: "Big brother, I have learned about this matter, and now there is no evidence that can help you get rid of your guilt." If this continues, I am afraid it will be difficult to get out of danger. ”

Ji Xiuyu was silent, he naturally knew that this matter was not easy. "Hey, how can this be. The old man said worriedly.

"It's better to find a substitute for the dead ghost, just say, it's his idea. In this way, you can help the eldest brother clear his suspicions. Ji Xiuming said with a smile.

Hearing this, Ji Xiuyu frowned and said in a low voice: "No, I don't need to use this despicable way. I'll definitely find evidence for this. ”

Seeing him like this, Ji Xiuming shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Then I hope that the eldest brother can get rid of this lawsuit as soon as possible." Otherwise, it will really have an impact on the company. ”

After lunch, Xia Xizhi came to the yard for a walk. It's already spring, and there's some life in the yard. Looking at the budding leaves, Xia Xizhi raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance.

When he came to the tree, Xia Xizhi's hand fell on the branch. Suddenly there was a pain, and she saw the thorns on the branches of the tree stabbing her fingers. In an instant, bright red blood beads bubbled out.

The eyebrows are twisted, and they all say that the ten fingers are connected to the heart, and it hurts very much. "Could it be, Xiuyu's situation this time is very unfavorable, right?" Xia Xizhi said to himself worriedly.

"The trouble that the eldest brother encountered this time is indeed quite serious. Ji Xiuming's voice came from behind him.

Xia Xizhi turned his head and looked at him, but did not speak. Coming to her, Ji Xiuming said with sincere eyes: "For more than a year, my eldest brother has taken care of me. Seeing him in this situation, I was also very worried for him. ”

Putting down his hand, Xia Xizhi said with a light smile: "Although the situation is not optimistic, I believe that it can be solved in the end." ”

"Sister-in-law, you don't know much about the situation. I know more clearly in the administration department. According to this situation, even if the eldest brother sues again, it will be difficult to escape from prison. Like I said, unless you find a substitute for the dead ghost, it will be difficult to ......," Ji Xiuming said solemnly.

Listening to his suggestion, Xia Xizhi thought thoughtfully: "Find a substitute for the dead ghost?"
