The farce-like trial became serious again. Feng Rong wiped her tears and endured the pain of losing her mother. She iterated about what the Yue Corporation had done and the torture and violation she had suffered.
Yue Chi frowned and looked impatient.
“There’s no evidence for these things. At that time, my client was in her room and didn’t know what was going on outside. Even if he was guilty, my client was just as negligent as the person in charge. As for the crime of forced prostitution, it’s nonsense.” The lawyer opposite said lightly, facing Feng Rong and the other girl’s accusations.
Lin Yin’s lawyer invited the teacher who was leading the team at that time and asked, “Is the person who instructed you to send these students to the sponsor’s room in court now?”
The teacher looked around and pointed in Yue Chi’s direction. He nodded and said, “Yes, it’s Manager Yue.”
However, after the lawyer asked, the lawyer opposite asked, “Teacher, I want to ask, did Mr. Yue Chi tell you in person that he wanted to send these girls to the rooms of those sponsors?”
The teacher who testified frowned and shook his head as he answered truthfully, “No, Manager Yue’s bodyguard came forward to say it.”
The lawyer nodded and said to the judge, “Presiding Judge, this witness has only seen Mr. Yue Chi’s bodyguard but claimed that it was Mr. Yue Chi’s order. This is too unbelievable. Mr. Yue Chi and his bodyguard are just in an employer-employee relationship. The bodyguard is a free person.”
Lin Yin narrowed her eyes. Yue Chi was already looking for someone to take the blame as expected.
From the looks of it, that bodyguard would be a scapegoat.
Lin Yin’s gaze slowly shifted to Li Mu, who had been sitting at the side. Li Mu, who had been looking at Lin Yin from time to time, smiled awkwardly with a troubled expression.
Lin Yin’s expression darkened. Li Mu had never given her a definite answer, and now he looked like he didn’t want to help?
In that case, there was no need for her to show mercy to the Li Family.
Li Mu touched his nose seeing Lin Yin’s suddenly sharp eyes. However,Li Mu received a message from his second uncle a few seconds after Lin Yin retracted her gaze. His original impasse emotions almost exploded.
Li Mu looked up and saw Lin Yin’s meaningful expression, followed by Lu Ming’s expression behind Lin Yin. He would be a fool if he still couldn’t guess that Lin Yin and Lu Ming had schemed against the Li Family.
Li Mu sent Lin Yin a message with a helpless expression: My little ancestor, I didn’t say that I wouldn’t help you. Why are you in such a hurry? Do you have to join forces with your brother and Lu Ming to mess with me?
Lin Yin looked down at her cell phone and glanced at Lu Ming in surprise. Then, she retracted her gaze and replied mercilessly: Your little ancestor’s patience is not very good. She advises you to hurry up. Otherwise, your Li Family would at least be half an empty shell when you return from this trial.
After Lin Yin replied, she even looked up at Li Mu provocatively with her eyebrows raised. Li Mu could feel that Lin Yin was in a very bad mood.
The other party’s lawyer asked the bodyguard to step forward. As expected, the bodyguard admitted all his crimes and took all the blame for forcing these female students to serve the sponsor.
Yue Chi said with a mocking and arrogant expression, “Presiding Judge, can I leave now that the culprit has been apprehended? I was innocent from the beginning. It was clearly these poor people who wanted to extort money and took a fancy to our Yue Corporation’s money. I definitely won’t let this matter rest.”
The lawyer turned to look at Lin Yin. Lin Yin nodded at the lawyer, so the lawyer said decisively, “Presiding Judge, I want to invite a witness. He can prove that Mr. Yue Chi did illegally organize prostitution for the Yue Corporation and even forced students to prostitute themselves.”
Yue Chi sneered, his eyes filled with disdain.
However, when he heard the lawyer say Li Mu’s name and saw Li Mu walk to the court, his expression became extremely ugly.
“Li Mu, what are you doing?” Yue Chi gritted his teeth and asked.
Yue Han said coldly from the side, his tone clearly threatening, “Li Mu, don’t forget that you’re also an innocent person who was framed by these people. I hope you think about how to seek justice for yourself. We’re the victims.”
Li Mu walked to the witness stand and said with a look of avoidance, “Yue Han, don’t talk nonsense. I’m different from you. I’m a soldier, you’re thieves, and soldiers catch thieves.”
