There were a series of chattering voices in her ears, and those voices penetrated into her ears everywhere.

"It's pitiful to be at the age of 16 to have this kind of thing. ”

"I don't know how this girl is now, but she got pregnant after hearing this?"

"Yes, but that kid was a sinister after all, and ended up falling out of an accident. ”

“……”

Hua Xi covered her ears, trying to tell them not to say anything, not to say any more, but the sound seemed to be stuck in her throat and couldn't come out at all.

Someone quickly found her slumped on the ground, her face pale, and she felt a little familiar, and looked at the big screen suspiciously-

went back and forth, looked at it twice, and then patted the people around him and whispered, "Look, is this a person?"

“…… It seems to be. ”

"The party is here!" I don't know who shouted, and the people around quickly gathered around.

The accident was only in an instant, and Lin Siting didn't even have time to help Hua Xi up, but was squeezed aside by the people who rushed up suddenly.

A large group of people surrounded Hua Xi, all around her, pointing and pointing around her as if they were watching animals in a zoo.

Hua Xi sat on the ground, like a helpless child, with her arms around her legs, burying her face in them, her shoulders trembling slightly.

She...... In, afraid.

When Qin Nanjue rushed over, his eyes were red, and he pushed everyone away with brute force and rushed to the innermost.

When he saw Huaxi's condition, he hated to kill himself.

He saw her huddle up a little, and she was talked about by the people around her.

Qin Nanjue couldn't understand one thing from beginning to end, why are there always so many idle people who like to talk about the rights and wrongs of others, and if you say a few words of gossip, can you live a long life or make a fortune?!

He stopped in front of her, cold sweat on his forehead, and tried to bend down to pick her up, but when his fingers were about to touch her, he suddenly retracted it.

The voice seemed to be squeezed out of the larynx, and his heart seemed to stop beating at this moment, "Good girl...... Still, okay?"

My girl, are you alright?

The beloved across the mountains and seas, immersed in his own world, shook his body.

She, heard, his voice.

She looked up in a daze, her eyes slowly focused, and then, she saw his familiar face.

I saw his resolute features, saw his ruffian eyes, and saw the pain and hurt in his eyes.

She remembered that in the face of overwhelming rumors, it was he who brought her out of the darkness.

She remembers......

"Qin ......" moved his pale lips and spit out a word.

Qin Nanjue's heart was beating fast, so fast that it seemed like it would jump out of her throat in the next second, she ...... I'm not afraid of him anymore, is I?

However, before his name could be fully spoken, she suddenly screamed as if she had gone crazy, "Ahhh

She crawled backwards as if he were a ferocious ghost.

Qin Nanjue's gaze shattered into pieces, and his beating heart was overwhelmed by despair.

It was as if his soul had been drained suddenly, and his thin lips moved to tell her not to be afraid.

wanted to tell her that Qin Nanjue would kill herself, and he would never be willing to hurt her half a point again.

But at this moment, he couldn't say anything, because he knew that she wouldn't listen.

Nothing will be heard.

He stared at the fear and hatred on her face in a daze, the pain in her eyes drowning the world, and her red eyes adding a little blood.

"Little uncle, little uncle...... Siting, save me...... Save me......

Her shouts were like knives cutting at his heart, and his heart instantly became bloody.

The footsteps paused there, not daring to take another step, but they were reluctant to leave.

How long has it been since he had seen her?

It's been a year?

Or ten years?

Qin Nanjue, who has eyes above the top, Qin Nanjue, who is conceited and controls everything, has lived for nearly thirty years, and he never thought that one day he would be powerless to this extent.

What is called, I can't ask for it.

What is called, the heart is like a knife.

What is called, there is nothing that can be done.

What do you mean, untouchable......

He thought that at this moment, he had experienced it all, tasted it all.

He has drunk, eaten, and tasted the strongest wine in the world, the bitter fruit in the world, and the most painful love in the world.

A blunt knife cuts the heart and veins, and it hurts.

He watched Lin Siting squeeze through the crowd and lead her away.

He heard her cry, sobbing and mourning.

He saw her figure thin and thin, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.

Her back disappeared into the mall, and Qin Nanjue stumbled.

The surrounding chatter continued, and he had a splitting headache and yelled, "Get out!"

……

What happened in the mall, Hua Xi didn't tell Gu Beicheng.

When Gu Beicheng found out, it was already the second day, and he looked at Hua Xi for a long time, wanting to say something, but in the end, he still didn't say anything.

He knew that he couldn't push her too hard at this time.

Tomorrow is the day of the trial, and Hua Xi slept until almost noon before getting up.

As soon as she got up, she was hit by a deadly chain of clasps, and she opened her mobile phone to see more than a dozen missed calls.

And these dozen calls are all from the same person - Lin Siting.

When the phone was connected, Lin Siting's fiery temper suddenly exploded, "Xixi, why are you only answering the phone now?"

Hua Xi plucked out her aching ear, "What's wrong?"

"You...... Do you know what day tomorrow is?" Lin Siting said after a long time.

Hua Xi's lips moved, but she didn't make any sound.

Her silence was undoubtedly acquiescence, Lin Siting couldn't help it, and asked directly, "Xixi, ...... Are you really going to sue him and put him in jail? Although he hurt you, it was not voluntary, and what happened back then can only be said to be ...... By mistake, are you really going to get to that irreparable step?"

The reason why Lin Siting repeatedly told her about this matter was not for anything else, but she could see that Hua Xi did not only hate Qin Nanjue, she was afraid that she would do something that she would regret because of a momentary impulse.

In this world, family, friendship and love are luxuries, not everyone can get it, once you have it, then don't lose it easily.

Otherwise, for decades to come, regret will be the day you walk into the loess.

"Awkward...... What exactly do you think?"

Hua Xi opened the window, the dazzling sunlight sprinkled on her face, and she subconsciously stretched out her hand to block it, "Siting, everyone has to pay for their actions...... Tomorrow is the end, don't say any more. ”

Lin Siting's eyes widened in disbelief, "Xixi, are you crazy?"

She said so much that she didn't listen to a word?

Hua Xi closed her eyes, and her voice was so low that she couldn't hear it, "Si Ting, maybe you think I'm cruel...... But I lost my mother because of him......"

She can forgive him for ruining her peaceful and happy life, but how can she forgive him for indirectly killing her dearest.

"Aunt's matter, it's just a ......" Lin Siting weakly wanted to say something more to her.

"It was an accident. Hua Xi took what she didn't finish, "But, Si Ting...... My mom died on the way to the hospital to see me......"

And the one who caused her to be hospitalized was Qin Nanjue.

Lin Siting's hand hung down weakly, she often sighed, and finally said: "Xixi, a man like Qin Nanjue is invincible, but ...... You can easily kill him with one blow, because ...... He is willing to open his arms and expose all his weaknesses to you without any resistance. ”

You are the only one who can hurt him.

Twilight quadrangle, celebrity residence.

Lin Siting saw Ma Zai, who had been waiting for a long time, at the door, and Ma Zai hurriedly greeted her when she arrived, "Miss Lin, what did my sister-in-law say? Will she really come forward to testify tomorrow?"

Lin Siting nodded heavily.

Ma Tsai couldn't recognize it and let out a low curse, ", how can this be? The little sister-in-law is really so ruthless?"

Lin Siting glanced at him, "If you experience something like that, I'm afraid it's not as simple as just testifying." ”

The pain in this world is always best understood by the person concerned, how can outsiders experience it.

Ma Zai was dumbfounded, wrapped his cheeks, and did not argue.

In all fairness, this kind of thing, it's normal for the victim to appeal, it's just ......

When the two walked to the living room, Lin Siting saw Qin Nanjue sitting on the sofa with a decadent body and smoking.

She walked over and sat down in the corner of the couch, hesitating not knowing what to say.

Qin Nanjue smoked quietly until the cigarette was at the end and was extinguished in the ashtray.

At this time, Lin Siting found that the ashtray was almost full of cigarette butts.

"She corrected me, and I accepted it. After a while, Qin Nanjue leaned back on the sofa with a tired expression, squinted his eyes and whispered.

Lin Siting and Ma Zai glanced at each other, Ma Zai couldn't sit still, "Third master, you can't just sit still, the little sister-in-law has been living in the Gu Mansion now, that kid in Gu Beicheng has already seen you unpleasantly, the little sister-in-law must have listened to his nonsense, you can't just pay yourself in." ”

Qin Nanjue's empty gaze looked in the direction of the ashtray, and his voice was deep, "She has long gray hair and has lost weight. ”

Ma Zai didn't know what he meant, so he heard Qin Nanjue almost talking to himself: "That day in the mall, I saw that she had a handful of white hair on her head, and she had also lost a lot of weight. ”

"She's uncomfortable if ...... She can be happier if I go to prison for a few years, so why should I go?"

His voice was very low and his words were very slow, which made Lin Siting feel the urge to cry for no reason.

"Qin's ...... The empire you created with your own hands, just like that?" Ma Zai's voice was a little hoarse, and his emotions were a little out of control, "For the sake of a woman, you don't want anything?"

In the face of Ma Zai's accusation, Qin Nanjue did not make any arguments, nor did he make any response.

Some people are much more important than the powerful.

He was willing.

……

At the beginning of the lanterns, Gu's house was silent.

Hua Xi sat on the bed in a daze with a book in her hand.

Gu Beicheng walked in with a glass of milk and put it in her hand, "I have to get up early tomorrow, why haven't I slept yet?"

Hua Xi glanced up at him, "Little uncle, I have something to tell you." ”

Gu Beicheng sat on the edge of the bed, "You say, I'll listen." ”

Hua Xi clutched the book in her hand, half-narrowed her eyes, and lowered her voice, "When tomorrow's things are over, everything will be over, I think...... Changed places and started over. ”

Liangcheng has too many heavy memories, so heavy that she wants to escape.

Gu Beicheng's face sank, his eyes looked at her tightly, and he said after a long time, "Because of him, right?"

"So many things happened five years ago, and you didn't say you were leaving, and now it's for him...... Do you want to go?"

Hua Xi looked at him and said seriously: "Little uncle, I'm just tired......"

"Where are you going?"

"I don't know...... Just walk around, wait until you like a place, and stop. ”

……

The next day, Hua Xi woke up early.

She took her phone and looked at it, it was only five o'clock.

Before dawn at five o'clock, she stepped on her slippers to open the window, and stood by the bed with her arms crossed and looked out of the window in a daze.

After today, it's all over.

In her life, there will be no more Qin Nanjue.

She didn't know how long she had been standing, but she had stood until dawn.

After breakfast, Gu Beicheng drove her to the court, "I will accompany you below, don't be afraid, if you have anything to say, I have already greeted the people in the court, as long as you identify him on the spot, he will definitely not be able to come out for more than ten or twenty years." ”

Hua Xi listened absentmindedly, her fingers unconsciously clutching her clothes.

When they arrived, two cars were parked in front of the courthouse.

When Qin Nanjue got out of the car, he happened to see Hua Xi's figure, and his eyes were fixed on her body.

Gu Beicheng also saw him for the first time, looked at him with a heavy and provocative gaze, and then held Hua Xi's hand and whispered something in her ear.

Hua Xi listened carefully, then nodded.

Although Qin Nanjue insisted on refusing to hire a lawyer, Ma Tsai and Lin Siting still called the group's legal counsel over without him.

Qin Nanjue saw the legal adviser, looked at Ma Zai with a dark face, and his dark eyes were like a bottomless abyss, "You didn't hear what I said?

Ma Zai was a little anxious, "Third Master!"

"As I said, I don't need any defense in this lawsuit. Qin Nanjue insisted on going his own way and did not allow anyone to refute it.

What he did was tantamount to sitting back and giving up on himself, "Third Master, you can't!"

Qin Nanjue ignored his impatience, and looked at Hua Xi's back with heavy eyes, "As long as she can be comfortable, she can sit in this prison." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Ma Tsai and the others to react, he raised his feet and walked into the courtroom.

Ma Tsai watched him step down the steps from behind, and his heart sank to the bottom.

The huge Qin family, a business empire that has only been struggling for many years, will change its surname after today.

At ten o'clock, preparations were ready, and the judge announced the opening of the trial.

Qin Nanjue sat in the defendant's seat, wearing a dark blue coat, his facial features were like carvings, his eyes were deep, and the ruffian aura that surrounded him in the past was gone, but there was an indescribable silence.

In the past month, there has been a lot of discussion in Liangcheng about the lawsuit between the two.

After all, the name of the president of the Qin family is too loud, a powerful man who wants to be a rapist five years ago, such an impact is tantamount to people's best conversation after dinner.

Gu Beicheng sat in the auditorium, looking at Qin Nanjue's unconcerned appearance expressionlessly.

The presiding judge briefly explained the case: "On June 16, five years ago, a vicious rape incident occurred in an alley on Xinjie Road in Liangcheng...... Five years later, the person identified the perpetrator of the abuser, who was Qin Nanjue, the CEO of the Qin Group...... Five years later, the case was reaffirmed, and both sides were present...... Today, the Liangcheng City People's Court filed an indictment against the defendant Qin Nanjue, accusing him of rape ......"

"The accused can now be spoken by a defence lawyer......"

The legal counsel sorted out the materials in his hand and was about to stand up, but was pressed down by Qin Nanjue.

The judge looked at this scene suspiciously, "Defendant?"

Qin Nanjue glanced at Hua Xi, who had lowered his head and said nothing all along, and looked at the judge with a heavy gaze, "I plead guilty and sentence it directly." ”

Since she was going to sue him, he followed her.

Now, he doesn't know what he should do to make her better, so he just let her be.

Ma Tsai, who was sitting in the auditorium, slapped his palm on his head heavily, and he knew that this would be the result.

And Qin Nanjue's words also caused an uproar among the audience at this trial, so easy to admit guilt?

Don't defend yourself?

Which of you didn't come here to watch a war of words?

But who would have thought that this was over before it began?

"What's going on? Qin Nanjue is ready to confess his guilt like this?"

"Maybe his conscience has been discovered, after all, he ruined a girl's life five years ago. ”

"That's a powerful boss, is he really willing to confess his guilt like this?"

"I don't think it's like it, eighty percent of them have a post-move, these rich people are very willing to spend their lives, once they go to prison for a few years, they don't have nothing when they come out, how can they confess their guilt like this?"

“……”

"Is the defendant's lawyer going to give up his defense?" the judge asked again.

After all, he had never seen the defendant voluntarily give up the opportunity to plead his case.

"I have something to say, the rape case five years ago was not voluntary, he was ......" The legal counsel subconsciously wanted to defend himself.

"Shut up!" Qin Nanjue's thin lips pursed and he roared.

The legal counsel looked at him disapprovingly, "Third Master, you're going to go to jail directly?"

In his opinion, this is an absolutely unbelievable thing, how can a man, let alone a man who has walked to the top of the pyramid, really work hard for a woman to build a business empire.

Still not defending a word in court?

"Sit down. Qin Nanjue said again in a cold voice.

Seeing that his attention had been decided, the legal counsel had no choice but to sit down depressedly.

Gu Beicheng looked at everything below, and sneered coldly: "Pretend." ”

Lin Siting nervously held Ma Zai's arm, "What should I do? The third master didn't let the lawyer speak at all, he wouldn't really be going to prison, right?"

Ma Zai shook his palm and gritted his teeth, "The third master didn't plan to let the lawyer come to power from the beginning. ”

If it weren't for him making his own assertions, I'm afraid that Qin Nanjue was the only one sitting in the defendant's seat today.

The discussion in the "Silence" auditorium grew louder and louder, and the judge struck the hammer.

Ma Tsai stared at Hua Xi's position tightly, "Now it's up to the little sister-in-law to see what she says...... Miss Lin, do you know the testimony of my sister-in-law?"

Lin Siting shook her head, her eyes dodging: "I don't know." ”

She actually guessed a little, but at this time, she couldn't hit Ma Zai again.

According to Hua Xi's meaning on the phone, Qin Nanjue's prison is eighty percent ...... Sit down.

"The victims of the case are invited to ...... Submission. ”

Qin Nanjue's hand on his knee slowly clenched.

The narrow eyes slowly closed after taking a deep look at the dazzling figure.

He waited silently for a storm to come.

The long and majestic body stood there, as if it were eternal and eternal.

Don't be afraid, silly girl.

I, here, wait for your verdict.

Hua Xi heard the judge's words, slowly raised her head, she looked at Gu Beicheng in the auditorium, and saw him showing a firm smile at her.

She looked at Lin Siting and Ma Zai in the auditorium, and they were all looking at her eagerly.

She looked around at the courtroom, whether familiar or unfamiliar, but did not glance at Qin Nanjue.

But in the end, she couldn't help but glance in his direction.

But I saw only his closed eyes.

The dossier in her hand records the painful past five years ago, and her mother's pale face appears in front of her eyes.

It was as if she had seen the blood on the street again.

My head hurts, and my heart hurts even more.

She bit her lip until she tasted blood on the tip of her tongue.

The past is passing by one by one, like a movie.

The judge hadn't heard her speak for a long time, and the cold, serious voice remembered through the microphone in every corner of the courtroom, "Victim, now it's your turn to make a case." ”

Huaxi's eyelashes trembled, as if she hadn't heard, until the lawyer next to her patted her gently, and she slowly came to her senses.

"Miss Hua, the judge said it was your turn to make a statement. The lawyer reminded.

Hua Xi paused, and said in a fluttering voice, "...... Good. ”

Her voice was soft, as if it would dissipate into the air if she wasn't careful.

Everyone waited with bated breath for her words, everyone wanted to know what she would say.

Accusing Qin Nanjue of the atrocities of the year?

Tell your resentment?

Or do you stiffly repeat the events of that year?

The judge's majestic voice: "The victim does not need to be afraid, please adjust your state, we will make the fairest trial for you, and now this judge needs to ask you for a few things." ”

At the last moment, the audience could hear a single pin drop in silence.

"Good. She said.

Gu Beicheng straightened up and glanced at Qin Nanjue in the dock.

He and his original well water did not interfere with the river water, but he should never have used arms to persecute Huaxi.

It was a lifetime of shame for him.

"Madam Victim, now this court asks you, would you like to be a direct witness in court to identify the defendant's rape case five years ago?" the judge's words resounded through every corner of the courtroom.

At the same time, it also knocked on the heart of the flower.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

She didn't answer.

It wasn't until five seconds later that her voice came out, word by word unusually clear, "I ......"
