Chapter 176: Hold the Law and Deal with the Situation
Chapter 176: Hold the law and deal with the situation
Soon it was the day of the trial.
Because of Lu Jisheng's relationship, there is also a high degree of attention on the Internet about the lawsuit of his fiancΓ©e's father.
The reporters who smelled the news came to wait outside the speech early in the morning.
Sheng arrived in the same car as Lu Jisheng, and as soon as they got out of the car, they were surrounded by reporters and cameras.
Lu Jisheng put his arm around Sheng's shoulders and escorted her to the door of the court.
The reporters around me kept asking questions.
"This incident has a bad impact, has this affected the relationship between the two?"
"The outside world is generally not optimistic about Miss Chen's family background, does Mr. Lu have anything to say to them?"
"Mr. Lu, has your marriage been approved by your family?"
Sheng kept his head down, and said to himself in his heart to be calm, ignore reporters, ignore reporters.
Tick tick tick
Just as Lu Jisheng and the others were about to walk into the gate, a car arrived.
Lu Jisheng's father, Lu Huaizhou, and his mother Bai Yunxi got out of the car together.
Lu Jisheng stopped at the door with his life, and they were at the top of the stairs at this time, with a wide view.
Sheng crossed the crowd and looked cautiously at Lu Huaizhou's side.
The atmosphere among the reporters boiled instantly, and none of them expected that Lu Huaizhou and his wife would appear here at this point in time.
Bai Yunxi was very entangled in his son's affairs, frowning and looking at life from afar.
Sheng was holding Lu Jisheng's arm and shrunk slightly beside him.
Before he agreed to the marriage, Chen Sheng dared to show affection with his son in public, which made Bai Yunxi very unhappy.
Lu Huaizhou had no expression, his body stood straight, and he was holding a tiger-headed crutch with one hand.
He was used to being serious in the army, and he was also a stern image of not being angry and arrogant in public.
It was Lu Jisheng who waved his hand first, and he stood on the high step at the door and beckoned to his parents, as if waiting for them to pass.
Bai Yunxi and Lu Huaizhou glanced at each other, although the husband and wife were not very satisfied with the current situation, but it was difficult to say anything in front of the public.
"Let's go." Bai Yunxi grabbed Lu Huaizhou's arm and slowly walked to Lu Jisheng's side under the gathering of flashing lights.
Reporters rushed to their side to ask a few questions, despite the security guards.
"Ms. Bai, are you satisfied with Miss Chen's future mother-in-law? Can you make peace with her? β
"Mrs. Lu, you should know that Miss Chen's father was not only a gambler but also killed his own wife, what do you think about this matter as a wife?"
Like Lu Jisheng before, Lu Huaizhou and his wife did not answer reporters' questions positively.
They walked up to Lu Jisheng and stood still.
Sheng tried to calm herself as much as possible, she has prepared a lot in the past few days, and she has been constantly encouraging herself in her heart
I can do it, I can do it. Every second today counts, and I can't afford to make a mistake.
Bai Yunxi still looked at Sheng with a complicated face, and when she saw Sheng taking care of her son in the ward after the earthquake, she was still quite satisfied with this girl.
It's just such a family background...... This kind of daughter-in-law is really a bit unacceptable.
Bai Yunxi's eyes showed a look of embarrassment.
Lu Huaizhou was a little more impressed by Sheng.
He clearly remembered the last time the two of them were separated, Lu Jisheng looked down.
also remembers the scene where he took Lu Jisheng to the place where he worked to find her.
It's just that at that time, Lu Huaizhou was dissatisfied with this woman.
After he knew about the decline in Lu Jisheng's company's business conditions, he went to ask his youngest son Lu Jiwen, and Lu Jiwen still told Lu Huaizhou the reason for his brother's breakup that he knew after some hesitation.
Because I still like someone else in my heart, I broke up with my son?
Lu Huaizhou has never liked this kind of half-hearted woman.
Although after they reconciled later, Lu Jisheng personally explained to him that it was a misunderstanding, but Lu Huaizhou just didn't like Chen Sheng.
Lu Jisheng smiled confidently, and then put one hand on his mother Bai Yunxi's shoulder, and the other hand was held by Sheng.
"Let's go inside." Lu Jisheng was born on the left and his mother was born on the right, and entered the court with them.
The reporters, who were locked out and could not enter, took the opportunity to take a lot of pictures of the backs of the four people.
Sheng sat in the victim's family seat, and next to him sat a lawyer.
Lu Jisheng sat in the auditorium with his parents.
He sat between Lu Huaizhou and Bai Yunxi.
Bai Yunxi couldn't help but lean into Lu Jisheng's ear and ask him before the trial: "Jisheng, you brought your parents here just to watch that woman's father being sentenced?" β
"He did something like that, and he deserved to be sentenced." Lu Jisheng turned his face to Lu Huaizhou's side, "Right, Dad?" β
Lu Huaizhou snorted disdainfully: "It's not a big deal to watch the excitement." β
In fact, Lu Huaizhou and Bai Yunxi knew very well in their hearts that if Chen Sheng's father was sentenced to death today, then this woman would have Lu Jisheng left with a life-saving straw to grasp.
Even if it is not the death penalty, the crime of murder and throwing the corpse is enough for Chen Xuefeng to be sentenced to life and spend the rest of his life in prison.
Lu Huaizhou is very curious, today she Chen Sheng will only ask the court for a light sentence for the sake of family affection, or will she choose to abandon her father in order to curry favor with Lu Jisheng.
Either option, it would be unflattering to the couple.
The trial began, Chen Xuefeng appeared in handcuffs, and he was followed by two police officers, one left and one right.
Biting her lip, she looked at her father from afar, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.
Chen Xuefeng's detention life does not look very good, his hair is much grayer, he has lost a little weight, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes are obvious, and his waist is slightly arched.
From beginning to end, Chen Xuefeng didn't look at his life.
Two policemen took Chen Xuefeng to the dock.
The prosecutor began to read the indictment.
"The defendant Chen Xuefeng killed the victim Zhang Yimei because he failed to ask for gambling money. Afterwards, the body was thrown into the river to confuse the police.
And after the crime, he frequently asked his daughter for living expenses to escape...... Eventually caught by the police outside the casino. β
Bai Yunxi also officially understood what had happened for the first time, and she tilted her head to take a closer look at Chen Xuefeng.
From Bai Yunxi's point of view, he could only see Chen Xuefeng, who kept his head down, and couldn't see whether there was remorse on his face.
"After the case is presented, the defendant can begin to speak."
Chen Xuefeng cleared his throat and walked to the microphone with his head down, his voice was very rough, and his eyes were drifting around.
"Ahem, first of all, I didn't intentionally kill someone, I was negligent. It was like this, I was lying at home, and my wife came back from a trip and said that there was an earthquake on our daughter's side.
Then I heard my wife, Zhang Yimei, call my daughter, you can check the call logs.
Ahem, but it didn't get through, and my wife panicked, she thought something had happened to her daughter. β
Chen Xuefeng raised his eyes and glanced in the direction of Sheng: "Looking at it now, she is intact." If my daughter had answered the call at the time, I wouldn't have killed someone by mistake. Judge, I think she is also responsible for this. β
As soon as these words came out, the court was in an uproar.
Lu Huaizhou rolled his eyes, as if he was thinking.
Bai Yunxi looked at Lu Jisheng: "Was she with you when the earthquake happened?" β
Lu Jisheng tightened his face and nodded solemnly: "Yes." β
Sheng didn't know there was such a thing before that, but she did see a missed phone call from her mother after the earthquake.
But at that time, she didn't know that her mother had been killed, and when she called Chen Xuefeng, she thought everything was fine.
It turned out to be because of the phone call that I didn't pick up...
The prosecutor turned to Sheng: "Do you agree with the defendant's statement? β
The scene was silent, and Sheng slowly stood up under great pressure and walked to the microphone.
Her voice was heavy: "At that time, the first wave of the earthquake had passed, and the building collapsed and there were many injured people at the scene...... Mr. Lu was there to save people, so he didn't hear a phone call coming in. β
Public prosecutor: "Does Mr. Lu mean, Mr. Lu Jisheng?" β
"Yes." Sheng licked his lips nervously and looked at Lu Jisheng in the auditorium.
Lu Jisheng nodded to her and reassured her.
It was the first time Lu Huaizhou heard about this incident, and he asked Lu Jisheng: "Are you still saving people at the scene?" β
"Not only did I protect my future daughter-in-law, but I also stayed there to instruct the students to keep order and not panic."
Lu Jisheng's eyes were shining, and he leaned over to Lu Huaizhou and whispered: "It's not like a certain father, who knows how to save his youngest son first, no matter how big it is, he is eccentric." β
"Who told you not to answer the phone?" Lu Huaizhou glanced at him, "If you don't answer the phone, how do I know where you are?" β
"Who told you not to answer the phone?!" Chen Xuefeng shouted into the microphone.
Lu Huaizhou, who had just finished speaking, was shocked by Chen Xuefeng's words that were exactly the same as what he said.
Lu Huaizhou was silent, he held his chin out of his hand and continued to watch the trial in silence.
Chen Xuefeng seemed to be holding back a fire, and his tone was very impulsive: "It's all because you don't answer the phone that your mother is mad and angry with me!" What can I do? Can I still be pressed and beaten by a woman?
I'm going to have to fight back, right? Otherwise I... Where is my man's face? I just called back, who knew she was so fragile, and she died with a push. β
The judge slapped the table twice: "No yelling here!" β
Chen Xuefeng had to shut up stupidly.
Raw bit his lower lip and clenched his fists.
She looked straight at Chen Xuefeng, her eyes full of resentment and sorrow.
