Chapter 820 - The Love of Loved Ones
Because he couldn't find Xie Hui, Pei Minglu could only get out of the car by himself, and only two bodyguards escorted him to the court.
On the other side, Feng Anyan's car was also parked not far away, and He Mulan and He Zhaoyuan also came to the court early.
When she saw Feng Anyan's car, He Mulan immediately became anxious, and she subconsciously wanted to rush up to ask Feng Anyan.
But when she saw Feng Anyan and Gu Qingyu coming down together, He Mulan stopped her steps vividly, she stood in silence and felt pain in her heart.
Even if Feng Anyan is safe and sound, the current Feng Anyan is no longer his fiancΓ©.
There was another woman beside him, that woman was rational and intelligent, and she didn't know how much better than herself, so why did she appear among them and destroy their relationship?
Everyone walked into the courthouse, Pei Minglu still looked proud, and the disdainful gazes of others didn't seem to have any effect on him.
In his eyes, the lives of these people are all ants, and their opinions naturally have no effect on him.
The judges took their seats in turn, Gu Qingjian and Feng Anyan also sat on the plaintiff's seat, and the two of them looked at Pei Minglu with a look of ambition.
"Hearing." The judge said solemnly.
Gu Qingji's lawyer handed over the evidence to the judge, and the judge began to read out Pei Minglu's incriminating evidence: "Plaintiff Gu Qingjian testified that the defendant Pei Mingjing was suspected of corruption, murder and other crimes. β
Pei Minglu squinted, he had already hired the best lawyer, and he was not afraid at all in the face of these trumped-up charges.
"Your Excellency, I have a question." At this time, Pei Minglu's lawyer raised his hand.
"Ask questions." The judge nodded, Pei Minglu's lawyer stood up and looked at Feng Anyan opposite, and Pei Minglu also looked at them triumphantly.
"May I ask the plaintiff, is the source of your evidence legitimate? Moreover, I remember that the plaintiff, Mr. Feng, had cheated his death before, does that mean that your words are not credible? The lawyer began to ask with some nonsense.
"Your Excellency, he's changing concepts." Gu Qingjian stood up directly and replied, "Mr. Feng faked his death to escape the pursuit of the defendant, which does not mean that his words are not credible. β
"As far as I know, the evidence you have presented does not represent that my client has violated our criminal law." The lawyer continued to pester, "Your Honor, I have reason to suspect that the plaintiff is trying to frame my client. β
"You!" Gu Qingjian was very angry, she was about to have a seizure, but she was appeased by her lawyer.
"Your Excellency, the evidence submitted by my client can fully prove that Duan Shengping's death is related to the defendant, and we also have witnesses." The lawyer said succinctly.
He looked at Gu Qing's evidence, and Pei Minglu would lose this lawsuit because there were too many evidence and witnesses.
"Bring witnesses." The judge said.
Just when Pei Minglu thought that those witnesses were just his little minions, he suddenly saw an incredible scene, and the people who appeared were actually Pei Yan and Xie Hui.
Seeing that the two people closest to him appeared in the position of the witnesses who identified him, Pei Minglu clung to the railing: "Banquet!" β
Pei Yan looked at his father sadly, and then stood on the witness stand with the association.
"Witness Pei Yan, what is your relationship with the defendant?"
"The defendant is my biological father." Pei Yan said lightly.
At this time, He Mulan, who was watching the lawsuit in the audience, was also stunned, she didn't expect Pei Yan to appear to identify her father.
"Is it true that your testimony stated that your father mentioned to you that he was willing to suppress the plaintiff Feng Anyan's company?"
"Yes, my father once said that he wanted to take the Feng Group into his pocket, and he once sent someone to tamper with the accounts of the Feng Group, intending to make the Feng Group collapse." Pei Yan continued.
"Witness Xie Hui, what is your relationship with the defendant?" The judge asked again.
"Mr. Pei is my boss, and I have known Mr. Pei for decades." Xie Hui didn't look at Pei Minglu's gaze, just lowered his head and said.
"According to your testimony, Pei Minglu instructed you to kill Duan Shengping and destroy the evidence. There are also many counts such as whether the alleged intentional injury to citizens is true. β
"Yes." Xie Hui replied briefly.
Pei Minglu gasped, he never thought that in the end, it was his favorite son and his dearest comrade-in-arms who completely brought him down.
Many of the people watching below are Pei Minglu's subordinates, as well as Pei Yan's comrades-in-arms, although Pei Yan has been retired for a long time, but his rumors are quite famous, and many people believe in his character, so as soon as he testified, many people began to defect.
After listening to these testimonies, the judges looked at Pei Minglu, who was silent on the side: "Defendant Pei Minglu, do you have anything else to say?" You can remain silent, but everything you say will be used as evidence in court. β
Pei Minglu didn't speak, and the lawyer he hired was also stunned by the evidence, and didn't say a word.
"According to the testimony, we need the public security organs to cooperate with the investigation and collect evidence before we can finally be sentenced." The judge picked up his hammer and struck it, "Adjournment." β
Pei Minglu was driven out of the dock by the police, and when he passed the witness stand, he looked at Pei Yan and asked in disbelief: "Why, why are you doing this to me?" β
"Father, we are here for your good." Pei Yan couldn't bear to say, "I can't watch you make mistakes again and again." Where did that majestic father go when he was a child? β
"Yes, sir, I have always been ashamed to help you make mistakes again and again, and under the persuasion of the young master, I chose to stand up." Xie Hui also said.
"Yan'er, I'm all for you!" Pei Minglu said angrily, "But why don't you understand your father's love for you?" Why do you keep working against me?! β
"Father, the love I need is never something to protect and track every inch, never to find someone to follow and investigate everyone close to me! I just hope you can take a little time to talk to me and smile at me! Pei Yan shed tears and almost collapsed.
Pei Minglu looked at his son in shock, he was wholeheartedly collecting money for him, and he was involved in disputes for him to expose himself, but in the end he told himself that what he wanted was just such a simple thing.
"Father, what I want is not that complicated, I just want to have a home." Pei Yan looked at Pei Minglu in despair, "I know, you have changed since your mother died, and you think that money is very important." But what about me? Am I going to leave you without money? β
"Yan'er, you don't understand." Pei Minglu muttered, as if he had suddenly aged a few years.
"I don't understand your thoughts, but I dare to say that I love your father." Pei Yan said with tears in his eyes, "Because I love you, I only stood here today, and the love of true relatives will not condone you to deviate from the right path." β
Pei Minglu didn't speak again, he was escorted by the police, and in Pei Yan's blurred vision, he gradually drifted away.
