Chapter Thirty-Eight: Families Destroyed Overnight
"Kexin, I'm doing this for your father's good."
Jiang Kexin's eyes were about to burst into flames, and she frowned coldly, "Good for my father?" You keep saying that you are good for my father, good for my father, but my father is clearly innocent, but you want to defend your guilt, what is your intention? ”
"Jiang Kexin, calm down for me! Dawn has her own reasons for doing this. "Wen Yimo didn't even know the reason why I wanted to defend Uncle Jiang's guilt, he actually believed me so much, and believed that I was for Uncle Jiang's good.
A warm current surged into his heart, and he threw a thank you look at Wen Yimo.
"She has her point? She's going to kill my dad! "Jiang Kexin was mean-spirited, and he reduced me to a femme fatale with a single sentence.
Wen Yimo glared at her angrily, "Jiang Kexin, pay attention to your words!" ”
Lawyer Fang stood up and said politely, "In this way, I'll give you a day to think about this issue, okay?"
Jiang Kexin's expression eased, but she still insisted, "I don't need Lawyer Fang, I decided to make a not-guilty defense." ”
I interrupted her anxiously: "No! Kexin! We don't have any favorable evidence in our hands now, and I am afraid that if you rashly make a not-guilty plea, you will be sentenced to a heavier sentence. ”
Jiang Kexin asked rhetorically: "Do you think he is guilty?"
"I ...... Of course I don't believe it. I bit my lip and lowered my head to hide the panic in my heart, for fear that Jiang Kexin would see the flaws, "But the top priority is not to discuss whether your father is guilty or not, but to find ways to save his life." ”
Jiang Kexin sneered, "Since you think he is not guilty, how can you say that you can save your life?" ”
"As lawyer Fang said, the law is all about evidence."
Jiang Kexin raised her eyebrows, becoming more and more excited, "You don't have to worry about the evidence, I'll find out by myself, okay?" Liu Chenxi, I ask you to stay away from my father's case. ”
"Jiang Kexin, what good is your father's imprisonment for me?" I changed my words and continued to persuade: "You must be cautious in this matter......"
"Enough, I don't want to hear you anymore!" Jiang Kexin left indignantly.
I slumped in my chair, overwhelmed.
Wen Yimo clamped my shoulders, "Chenxi, you tell me honestly, what did Uncle Jiang tell you in the prison visitation room?" ”
Thinking of what Uncle Jiang said to me, I couldn't help but look embarrassed, shook my head and said, "I promised Uncle Jiang, so I can't say it."
"You must know the truth, don't you?" Wen Yimo's tone was sure, he knew me too well, as long as I had the slightest abnormality, he could roughly guess my thoughts.
Lawyer Fang said: "Miss Liu, your words are very important to this case now, please be sure to tell you everything the defendant told you."
That's right, I should focus on the big picture.
To rescue Uncle Jiang.
"Uncle Jiang...... He did embezzle and accept bribes of 30 million ......"
"As I expected." Wen Yimo frowned, "From the moment he refused to meet Jiang Kexin, but he only saw you, I guessed it, but I'm not sure." ”
"Please don't talk about this, especially not to let Kexin know, she will break down." Jiang Kexin has been so proud since she was a child, she definitely can't stand such a blow.
Wen Yimo's anger did not subside, "At this time, you still want to protect her, what did she do to you just now?" ”
"Yimo, Kexin is my best friend."
"What would you do if it were me?"
I stayed for a few seconds, waited for a reaction, and asked him, "Yimo, are you jealous?"
Infinite emotion in my heart: You even eat Kexin's vinegar, what a vinegar jar.
Wen Yimo said "um" without evasion, and then the opposing lawyer said: "Lawyer Fang, please defend Uncle Jiang's guilt and try to reduce his guilt."
Lawyer Fang nodded, "Yes, Wen Shao, I'll do my best." At that time, Miss Liu will also need to be a witness. ”
In order to save Uncle Jiang, it is still inevitable to let Jiang Kexin know the truth......
Wen Yimo shook hands with Lawyer Fang again, "Okay, trouble Lawyer Fang." ”
Lawyer Fang said respectfully: "Wen Shao is polite."
When I got home, I didn't see Jiang Kexin around.
Aunt Jiang asked me in surprise, "Kexin didn't come back with you?"
I smiled lightly and pretended that nothing had happened, "She's in trouble, I'll come back first." ”
returned to the room and called Jiang Kexin, "Hello, your call is temporarily unanswered......
She wouldn't answer my calls.
So dialed Wang Yuan's phone, maybe she was with Yuanyuan.
"Hey, Yuanyuan, is Kexin with you?"
"Well, she and I are on our way to Uncle Jiang's secretary, Miss Li's house."
I was about to say something, but I heard Jiang Kexin on the other end of the phone say, "I'm about to hang up, I don't have anything to say to her."
While I was stunned, the phone rang busy......
After a period of preparation, I finally waited for the court to open.
"Defendant Jiang Ning embezzled and accepted bribes totaling 30 million yuan, and was criminally detained by the Public Security Bureau on August 2, 2013......" The audience was silent, and the presiding judge dictated the whole story.
Uncle Jiang's hands were handcuffed, and he stood in the position of the "defendant" with a haggard face.
Lawyer Fang stood up and nodded politely to the presiding judge, saying, "Everything you said is true, and now I will defend the guilt of the defendant Jiang Ning."
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Kexin roared excitedly: "Lawyer Fang, what are you doing!" My dad is innocent! ”
The judge tapped the gavel in his hand, "Stay quiet!" ”
Lawyer Fang is used to seeing the scene at this time, and he has to be calm and calm. "The defendant Jiang Ning did accept bribes of 30 million yuan, and this is the breakdown of the amount of embezzlement and bribery I have collected."
The staff took the "physical evidence" in the hands of Fang's lawyer and handed it to the judge.
After the judge read it carefully, the opposing lawyer said, "Do you have any witnesses?"
"Yes." Lawyer Fang muttered a few words to the assistant beside him, and then the assistant went to the side door and invited me in.
When Jiang Kexin saw me, she was shocked. Then, his eyes glared at me fiercely, as if he wanted to eat me in one bite. Say with the shape of your lips: "Liu Chenxi, I hate you."
My heart is like a knife.
As long as you can save Uncle Jiang, I'd rather you hate me.
Wen Yimo signaled with his eyes not to be afraid.
I took a deep breath, looked at the judge, and honestly explained every word I said when I met Uncle Jiang.
Jiang Kexin was incredulous and became excited again, "Dad, tell the judge quickly, this is not true, it is Liu Chenxi talking nonsense!" ”
Uncle Jiang closed his eyes and didn't look at Jiang Kexin for a long time before he said, "One qiē is true."
Everyone present was shocked, Jiang Kexin looked at the person not far away who admitted that he had taken bribes, and couldn't believe that he was the father she had been proud of since childhood!
The judge knocked down the gavel heavily, "Because the defendant Jiang Ning actively cooperated with the relevant work, this court decided to sentence him to 50 years in prison after discussion." ”
When Uncle Jiang passed by me, he whispered to me, "Thank you."
I stood in place in a daze, looking at Uncle Jiang's back as he drifted away.
He was sentenced to fifty years! Exactly fifty years!
The rest of his life will be spent in prison......
Tears welled up in my eyes.
"It's already the best outcome." Wen Yimo pressed my head against his chest.
I clung to his clothes, tears dripping down my face.
I thought that this was the end of the matter, but I didn't want Jiang Kexin to receive a call from the public security department early the next morning.
The phone slipped out of her hand and the screen cracked.
"Daddy...... Dad committed suicide in prison. "She cried, and for the first time I saw the arrogant Jiang Kexin crying.
When Aunt Jiang heard the news, she fainted on the spot.
Jiang Kexin screamed: "Hit 120!"
Aunt Jiang was pushed into the "emergency operating room" for rescue.
Half an hour, an hour, three hours passed, and finally the chief surgeon came out.
We stepped forward anxiously, Jiang Kexin's pale and weak hand grabbed the doctor tightly, and asked, "How is my mother?"
"The operation is barely smooth, and the patient is now in a coma, his condition is not very stable, and he needs to be transferred to the intensive care unit for observation."
Uncle Jiang had just died, and Aunt Jiang had a heart attack and was admitted to the hospital, and Jiang Kexin was on the verge of collapse. She stayed in front of Aunt Jiang's hospital bed for two days and two nights without eating or drinking, her lips were so dry and oozing blood, and her face was like ashes.
I felt a throbbing pain in my heart.
I have persuaded my mother and Wang Yuan many times, but she still refuses to leave Aunt Jiang for half a step.
She said that she had nothing left, and Aunt Jiang was her only relative in this world......
When I heard that, I couldn't put it into words.
The first thing Aunt Jiang said when she woke up was: "Kexin, forgive your father, don't hate him."
"Mom, don't say it, you're very weak now, and the doctor will be here soon." Looking at the slight fluctuations of the ECG, Jiang Kexin shook his head vigorously, his voice was hoarse, and bright red blood flowed out because of his chapped lips as he spoke. Tears slid down her cheeks, and the blood stained on her lips dripped onto Aunt Jiang's white quilt, how dazzling.
"Kexin, good ...... ...... well ...... live" Aunt Jiang's hand, which was originally stroking Jiang Kexin's cheek, suddenly slipped off and fell into a deep sleep.
Jiang Kexin kept shaking Aunt Jiang's body and shouted heartbreakingly: "Mom! Mother! Wake up! Mother! ”
I covered my mouth with one hand, tears welled up in my eyes, and I watched this scene with grief. Reaching out and hugging my mother, she was crying in my arms.
Jiang Kexin's head lay on Aunt Jiang's body, and she cried bitterly, crying until her throat was hoarse.
In the end, Jiang Kexin's exhausted body couldn't support it and fainted.
We buried Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang together.
It was raining heavily.
Jiang Kexin stood in front of the two graves, drenched in rain, and refused to leave for a long time.
Her body hadn't recovered yet, and she couldn't withstand such a toss at all. I took the umbrella from Wang Yuan's hand, held the umbrella for her beside her, and quietly accompanied her.
"The Jiang family was ruined overnight, and everything started because of you, if you didn't take bribes for your own selfish desires and greed, your mother wouldn't have died of illness, and the Jiang family wouldn't be such a field! Jiang Ning, I hate you, I hate you! Jiang Kexin squatted down, her ten fingers sinking into her messy long hair.
