“How would I know what to do?” Xin scolded, “You’re the one who made a fool of yourself. You insisted on cooperating with that wretched girl Liu Xing. You’ve caused trouble yourself, and you still want me to help you solve it? Dream on!”
Zhu Sheng said fearfully, “Guild Leader Xin, you must help me. I’ve done so much for you back then. You can’t just give up on me like that!”
Xin ignored him. “Old Zhu, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I can’t help you this time! No matter what, I don’t have the ability to challenge the Tao family!”
Principal Zhang’s office was not for these people to quarrel. He used the dignity of a principal and chased these big shots out.
After that day, the people from the other side kept harassing Tan Rou. They either asked her to return to the laboratory or asked her to withdraw the lawsuit. Tan Rou ignored them and took out a lot of evidence to hand over to the judge, hoping to send Liu Xing and the others to prison as soon as possible.
Finally, it was the day of the court session. Tan Rou saw the haggard Liu Xing in the court. She was not wearing a blue dress today, but an orange prison uniform. Liu Xing, who was trapped in the defendant’s seat, seemed to have aged a lot. Wrinkles appeared on her face, and her hair was much whiter.
After seeing Tan Rou, Liu Xing’s lifeless eyes finally showed some reaction. She stood up from the defendant’s seat and planned to rush to Tan Rou. “Tan Rou, please let me go. 1 know my mistakes now. 1 will never plagiarize your works again, and 1 will never hurt you again. Please don’t sue me again!”
Her eyes were red from crying, but Tan Rou remained motionless in the plaintiff’s seat as if she did not hear her.
“Silence, silence!” The judge slammed the table a few times and shouted, “Defendant, calm down. Don’t make a racket in court.”
Liu Xing couldn’t be quiet. She was going to go to jail soon. How could she be quiet?
“Tan Rou, please let me go. As long as you let me go, I’ll give you no matter how much money you want! We’ve known each other for so many years. Do you have the heart to let me go to jail?” Liu Xing wailed.
Tan Rou finally reacted. She said with a faint smile, “Defendant, please be quiet. 1 can’t hear the judge reading the verdict.”
Liu Xing grabbed the guardrails of the defendant’s seat with both hands. “Tan Rou!”
In the end, Liu Xing was sentenced to life imprisonment and all his property was confiscated. Ying Xian was reported by Liu Xing and sentenced to ten years in prison with all his assets confiscated.
Zhu Sheng was just at the age to be sentenced. He was sentenced to five years in prison and fined 100,000 yuan for attempted murder.
A fine was not a big deal to Zhu Sheng, but a five-year prison sentence was very difficult for him. He was older, and he worked with computers all his life. He was already an old man, he wouldn’t have been able to survive life in prison.
Liu Xing refused to accept this and requested to appeal. Unfortunately, the second trial still upheld the original verdict.
Tan Rou looked at the thin woman in front of her. “You didn’t think that you would end up like this when you harmed me, did you?”
Liu Xing stared at Tan Rou with her deep eyes and said fiercely, “Tan Rou, 1 won’t let you off!”
Tan Rou smiled. “You’ve already been sentenced to life imprisonment. What else can you do to me?”
“I won’t let you off!” Liu Xing shouted crazily.
Tan Rou replied, “Alright, I’ll wait for you then. I’d like to see what you can do to me.”
Liu Xing was taken away. Tan Rou watched her leave, feeling a little uneasy. Liu Xing had alerady been sentenced, so why was her eyelid still twitching? Was there anything that she hadn’t considered?
She turned around and saw Xin standing not far away from her. In Liu Xing’s case, Xin, the person in charge of the laboratory, was perfectly invisible. As long as he said ‘I don’t know’, even the judge could not do anything to him.
“You won.” Xin said with a smile.
Tan Rou stood opposite him and smiled. “Yeah, 1 won this battle.”
“I hope you can keep this up,” Xin left after saying so.
Tan Rou frowned. Xin was not an easy person to deal with. If it wasn’t for the Tao family’s status, he would have attacked her long ago. He had suffered heavy losses this time, so he would not let it go easily. He still had to be careful of this person..
