Translator: 549690339

The solemnity of the courtroom remained.

Ji Baijian had been sitting in the audience section all along, his lips gently pursed, bearing an always indifferent expression.

Such was the moment.

His deep gaze and long eyelashes seemed to flicker slightly.

The clear and light-looking eyes were on Song Zhizhi, studying her bloodshot eyes.

In the courtroom.

The judge sternly asked, “Does Nie Xiaofei have anything else to say?” Nie Xiaofei bit her lip and shook her head.

She seemed to realize that she couldn’t refute any longer at that moment.

All the facts were present- they were even more substantial than the evidence that had framed Song Zhizhi. She couldn’t make any excuses.

She didn’t see it coming… Why it would end up like this.

She only wanted to frame Song Zhizhi. She had thought everything was perfect. How then, was Song Zhizhi able to find evidence to prove her innocence and even accuse her?

Nie Xiaofei felt miserable.

Tears streamed down her face.

Having played the good girl for so many years, now she felt publicly shamed.

She couldn’t even lift her head.

She could imagine how much she would be loathed once the news got out.

She gnashed her teeth, biting them hard.

Nie Xiaofei’s lawyer, Zhang Meng suddenly spoke, “Judge, considering how quickly things have turned around, it’s likely that both my client and the panel of judges were caught off guard.

Therefore, we request an adjournment.”

After some consideration, the judge agreed, “Granted. But the suspect Nie Xiaofei will be detained for trial following legal procedures.”

“Understood.” Zhang Meng nodded.

That’s the only thing he could do for her at the moment.

He needed time to think about the case and how to minimize the sentence for his client. “Does the defendant, Song Zhizhi, have anything else to say?” The judge turned and asked her.

“Yes,” Song Zhizhi spoke up.

All eyes turned to her again.

She stated, word by word, “During the first trial, apart from Xiaoqing who testified accusing me of forcing Nie Xiaofei to miscarry, there was another person who testified against me. His direct accusation gave me a reason to harm Nie Xiaofei, but now I have reason to suspect that this witness,

Yi Wenhan, have conspired with Nie Xiaofei to intentionally frame me! Therefore, I want to accuse Yi Wenhan! ”

Once the statement was spoken.

There was an uproar in the courtroom.

No one had anticipated this turn of events. If Song Zhizhi hadn’t mentioned it, they would probably have forgotten about Yi Wenhan, the mitigating factor.

Yi Wenhan, sitting in the audience, suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

When Nie Xiaofei was unexpectedly exposed, in addition to some of her sympathy, he was more worried about his own situation. After all, he was part of the threesome who had planned this, along with Nie Xiaofei. He couldn’t have guessed that even before Nie Xiaofei could say any more, the spearhead was suddenly turned towards him by Song Zhizhi.

He was looking at Song Zhizhi.

At this moment, Song Zhizhi’s eyes met his.

As their eyes met.

Yi Wenhan felt his heart skip a beat.

A chill of dread filled his chest.

Song Zhizhi’s gaze alarmed him.

He averted his gaze.

He only heard the judge say, “Bring Yi Wenhan to the stand.”

Yi Wenhan clenched his teeth, struggling to suppress the fear inside him..
