Secretary Sun felt like he might be dreaming. Otherwise, why was it that in the court hearing they had planned out, a person who completely shouldn"t have been there unexpectedly appeared? This stage originally should have been the trial to dig Lu Xu"s grave, but it now seemed like some great uncontrollable change was going to emerge.
Secretary Sun nervously looked around and fixed his gaze on the presiding judge and public prosecutor over there. It was reasonable to say that these two people should have already been bribed onto his side. However, Secretary Sun was somewhat apprehensive as he discovered that these two people were actually not looking at him.
This wasn"t good. Secretary Sun wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and then consoled himself in his heart over and over again — there"s no problem, don"t be nervous. This matter would surely not go wrong. Even though Huang Xiao Na appeared, what about it? As long as Huang Xiao Na a.s.serts that the person who gave her the exam paper was Lu Xu, and he also insists that he had previously seen Lu Xu and Huang Xiao Na talking over the phone, then Huang Xiao Na"s appearance would instead further facilitate in making Lu Xu plead guilty. This matter would become even more irrefutable evidence.
Anyway, he and Huang Xiao Na had already properly discussed it. If Huang Xiao Na was suspected and found, then she would bite Director Lu to death. She must not expose the deal between the two of them. This way, Huang Xiao Na at most would receive some disciplinary action. With this kind of punishment, as long as he dipped his hands into it, he could let Huang Xiao Na quickly make a comeback.
Therefore, there certainly won"t be a problem. The outcome of this trial won"t change. After Secretary Sun firmly consoled himself, he quickly calmed down. He had seem people before who could create big storms in the world. This was merely a mishap, it won"t be able to shake him!
Ren Zhu, Lu Ban Ban and Zhou Lai sat together in the court hearing seats. They sat in the middle of the first row, making it easier for Lu Ban Ban to be a little closer to his father. When Lu Xu was pushed out, Lu Ban Ban anxiously stood up in an instant, but was then held by Ren Zhu and Zhou Lai on either side and pulled back into his seat. Lu Ban Ban took a deep breath and loudly said: “Father, me and grandpa are both doing well! You don"t need to worry! Just properly answer the lawyer and prosecutor"s questions!”
At this moment, Lu Xu"s appearance was very haggard. He had suffered quite a lot during the period he was detained. The news of his mother"s death practically caused his eyes to turn red with hatred. He vowed that even if neither side won, he also must drag those people down. It was only after he received help from Ning Xun that he could finally stop trying to come up with tactics to win this battle. At this moment, when the former Director Lu looked at his own son who in a short month had become as though he had shed his body and become someone else, he became filled with regret, anger and sorrow. But in the end, he was still a little comforted but distressed over him.
He really wanted to reach out and touch his son"s face that had already become so thin, but his hands were currently wearing heavy shackles. Director Lu had never regretted as much as he did right now. In the end, he didn"t hold onto the honest and clear image he should have. Instead, he became a teaching material to become a villain, making his son have to bear this stain in his life in the future.
“Alright. Settle down.” The presiding judge finally opened his mouth. The trial that Ren Zhu had long been looking forward to also finally began.
After carrying out the basic process of verification and announcing that it was completed, the trial entered the second phase of court. Then, there were the statements from the parties involved.
The prosecutor explained the crimes that Lu Xu committed and then let Lu Xu state his point of view. In this stage, it could be seen that the prosecutor was clearly biased. Ren Zhu notice that his each and every move was indicating that Lu Xu was guilty. By his side, Lu Ban Ban clenched his fist while listening to this. It was just like he was an angry little leopard waiting to acc.u.mulate enough power before lashing out. However, he had already been warned that he couldn"t act rashly without thinking today. He could only stand on one side and angrily spectate.
Lu Xu naturally did not acknowledge these false accusations. He once again said his statement and new appeal with a hoa.r.s.e but mild voice: “…… Thus, I request the prosecutor and presiding judge to carefully consider other possibilities for this case. Also, I have evidence to prove my innocence.”
When these words were said, Secretary Sun revealed a dark expression. This Lu Xu actually still had evidence? That was impossible. He was Lu Xu"s closest and most trusted secretary. He knew everything revolving around Lu Xu. Before implementing their plan, he had already destroyed everything that would be disadvantageous to them. Therefore, Lu Xu"s current words must be just his final struggle!
However, he was soon firmly slapped in the face. Lu Xu"s defending lawyer quickly took out a stack of photos and they were put up on the projection. Secretary Sun and Huang Xiao Na then started to break out into a cold sweat! This was actually a photo of them meeting up to hand over the test paper!!
Although these pictures were only taken by the roadside and store surveillance cameras, and were not at all distinct, it was still sufficient enough to let people recognise who the two people in the photos were. The most terrible thing was that in the photos, he was holding a brown paper bag to give to Huang Xiao Na!
Sun Fu Hai"s breathing instantly became a mess. His eyes sharply stared at those several fuzzy images, wishing that he could bite two holes into each of them. In his mind, he quickly thought of how he should respond to all kinds of questions that might come up afterwards. Then, he was brought to the front of the court as a witness.
“Do you have anything to say regarding these photos?”
After staring at the photos for a moment, Secretary Sun revealed a grim smile: “I admit that I know Xiao Na in private. We are cla.s.s mates from the same middle school. Meeting up together shouldn"t be anything right?”
The lawyer already knew that Secretary Sun would not acknowledge this piece of evidence. He was not at all perturbed as he again continued to ask: “There is a time stamp on the photo displaying that you two met up just when it was 3 days before the unified exam. Can you say what was inside that brown paper bag?”
Secretary Sun continued to coldly smile. Just when he was going to open his mouth to say something, he suddenly felt his ears ring. It seemed like someone started to speak beside his ear.
[Aiya! Your misdeeds have been discovered by others. Since this matter was discovered, even if you speak less, you would still need to squat ten or twenty years in prison right? Really a sin ah.]
[Ze ze. It has already become like this. You still want to stubbornly refuse to admit? They have already found the photos, do you still think that they can"t find the relationship between you and Huang Xiao Na? When the time comes, you two adulterers will be spat on and cursed, you will infamously go down in history!]
[If you confess, they"ll be lenient. If you resist, they"ll be severe. Since you did such a big thing, what else is better besides confessing ah? Compared with being spat on when you meet others in prison and all kinds of torment later on, as well as negatively impacting your family, why don"t you now hurry up and confess? Are you still not going to say what is inside that brown paper bag?!]
Consequently, all the people present saw Secretary Sun, who was originally still n.o.ble and elegant, suddenly tremble all over. He somewhat difficultly opened his mouth and said: “It"s the test paper.”
Huang Xiao Na turned her head in disbelief and glared at him. Her expression was like she was looking at a fool who was courting death!
Even the lawyer who was interrogating him also momentarily paused on the spot. He had already prepared numerous questions to pressure and break the other"s mentality. In order to press Secretary Sun to speak the truth, he was already prepared for a long battle. For this reason, he had especially asked for advice from several particularly powerful psychologists. He had already prepared this much, this Secretary Sun actually started to speak the truth in front of so many people?! Was he playing with him?!
However, after pausing, the lawyer still quickly grasped this opportunity and continued to ask: “What kind of test paper is it?”
Secretary Sun once again faintly trembled. However, this time he answered a little more smoothly: “It"s the unified examination test paper.”
At this moment, Huang Xiao Na already didn"t want to continue looking at this person. In her heart, she quickly thought of what to say to be able to defend herself. Today, it was practically like Secretary Sun had taken the wrong medicine. It was like he would answer everything the lawyer asked! In just ten minutes, he had already cleanly sold himself! In the end, the lawyer hadn"t even taken the initiative to inquire when Secretary Sun waved his arm in resentment and angrily roared at Lu Xu:
“You short and ugly b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Apart from writing doc.u.ments, what else can you do! Isn"t it just that during the civil service exam that year, your score was a little higher than mine! Otherwise, the one who would now be sitting in the education director position would be me! However, I clearly worked very hard but still only achieved third place. It must be that you and the second place person cheated! I am such a talented person. You actually only let me be your secretary. You are clearly jealous of my talent and afraid that I would take the initiative to replace you in the future! It"s such a pity ah! It"s a pity that no matter how powerful you are, what else can you do? You still have a waste of a son dragging you down. Humph, you think I don"t know about you accepting bribes? Let me tell you, I know all the things you had received very clearly! Moreover, compared to you who doesn"t know the value of goods, my collection is far more valuable! Being put in such a good position, you actually don"t cherish it! You are simply a fool! Trash! Waste of a person!”
At this moment, the more Secretary Sun spoke, the more agitated he became. It was like his mouth couldn"t be shut. He suddenly revealed a confident smile: “You"re such a piece of trash. I took the initiative to propose to you a good moneymaking method. You were actually unwilling to take part in it. It"s simply just the questions for the unified exam. There are lots of schools who would come to us for this kind of information. Moreover, if we don"t say anything, no one would know. Such a good revenue ah! You actually didn"t want to take part in it. Since it was like this, don"t blame me for being merciless and making you the scapegoat! Anyway, you have already let your son"s teacher pa.s.s him the answers for his exams. Something like leaking the questions for the unified exam, isn"t that just a matter of course~”
In one breath, he said so many words. Secretary Sun let out a long sigh and felt extremely at ease. These words had been held back in his heart for a long long time. He still wasn"t finished as he continued to say: “Also, you"re such a director, you actually don"t know how to exploit your power. There are so many young and beautiful female teachers who want to come over to curry favour, and you are still not willing. Ze ze, such a pity. Unlike me, with Huang Xiao Na……”
“Sun Fu Hai! Are you crazy!!” Huang Xiao Na"s shriek sounded in the court room, instantly piercing through Sun Fu Hai"s ear drums. Then, it was like he had woken up from a dream and returned to earth. When he realised what he had said, he immediately became deathly pale and his entire body was shaking beyond recognition.
How can this be? He actually said everything he shouldn"t have said?! How is that possible?!
In the court hearing seats, Teacher Ren looked at the line of words on his system interface, smiling with satisfaction.
[You triggered the skill ‘the cla.s.s teacher"s question" (powerful): Bear Lord Sun Fu Hai -100 IQ, -50 mentality. Triggered the ‘say whatever you think" particularly honest effect.]
