Chapter 429: Acquitted

“Dad.” Mei Mu called softly behind Wang Yue.
Only then did Mei Yun stop. His eyes widened to the maximum, and bloodshot veins covered his entire eyeball. The veins on his hands bulged, and his fists cracked in the empty corridor. He was like a killing god.
However, such an angry man unexpectedly fell silent when he heard his daughter’s call.
The police took the opportunity to take Wang Yue away in case something big happened later.
With no one in the middle, Mei Yun easily saw Mei Mu with tears in her eyes.
“Dad, don’t hate Mom. Everything she did was for me. She just made a momentary mistake.” Mei Mu pleaded with a furrowed brow.
Compared to Wang Yue’s hateful words, Mei Mu looked pitiful.
As a father, his heart should ache to see his daughter standing in the dock.
But this time, he just closed his eyes and said indifferently, “Did you know or not? Were you involved?”
Mei Mu shook her head in disbelief. She couldn’t hold back her tears anymore. “Dad, is Mumu so heinous in your eyes? Does Mumu look like someone who would hire someone to kill?”
Mei Yun’s eyes were filled with determination. “Tell me the truth!”
“Please observe courtroom discipline. The family member of the defendant, please take a seat in the audience. The trial will continue.”
The presiding judge had no interest in appreciating their “father-daughter estrangement” drama. He had Mei Yun taken to the audience seats and proceeded with the previous proceedings.
“Defendant Mei Mu, let me ask you one last time. Do you know the fact that your mother hired someone to kill Bai Ling?”
Mei Mu was on the verge of a mental breakdown. She shook her head helplessly, her body hunched like a shrimp, and she roared in despair and misery, “I told you, I didn’t know! I was too young and insensible back then. How many times do you want me to say it?!”
The presiding judge said expressionlessly, “But after the police enlarged the recording in Old Wang’s phone, they accidentally caught an audio recording that doesn’t belong to Wang Yue. After the police compared the sound wave patterns, the result showed that the audio recording belongs to you.”
In an instant, Mei Mu, who was still roaring, suddenly couldn’t make any sound.
She looked at the presiding judge in a daze and murmured unconsciously, “What sound?”
“A voice message encouraging Wang Yue not to give up killing the victim Bai Ling.” The presiding judge’s sharp gaze fell on Mei Mu. “The person who said those words was you, Mei Mu. Not only did you know, but you were also the instigator of this murder.”
Mei Yun suddenly stood up from his seat.
It was one thing for him to be suspicious, and another to be confirmed in court!
It turned out that the daughter he had doted on for so many years was even more vicious than Wang Yue!
She was so young back then, but she already knew how to hire someone to kill so that she could rise to the top!
A mouthful of blood was stuck in his throat.
Mei Yun wanted to curse loudly to vent the overwhelming anger in his heart.
But he couldn’t make any sound.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the blood in his throat gushed out disobediently.
Mei Shu was the closest. She subconsciously supported Mei Yun and hurriedly called an ambulance over.
In the dock.
Mei Mu, with a pale face, looked in this direction, her body fragile as if it might collapse like a piece of paper.
Her resentful gaze collided with Mei Shu’s hateful eyes.
When their eyes met, Mei Shu felt pain in her limbs.
Those days and nights when she had been tortured by Mei Mu in the ward couldn’t be forgotten just because Mei Mu confessed.
At this moment, Mei Shu gradually overlapped with her previous ruthless self.
She even felt a little regretful that Mei Mu had been taken away by the police when she woke up. Otherwise, she would have taken revenge with her own hands!
“It’s useless for you to stare at me.” Mei Mu smiled creepily. “I was only twelve years old when that happened. I’m still underage. Mei Shu, the judge won’t sentence me to death. As long as I’m still alive, I won’t let you off!”
“Now the court has announced the result of Mei Mu’s punishment.”
The presiding judge’s voice brought Mei Shu back to her senses.
She was about to help Mei Yun out, but now she stopped in her tracks. She really wanted to know what punishment Mei Mu would face next.
But the result was destined to disappoint her.
Even though Mei Mu was so bad that she instigated her mother to kill someone, she was released on the spot because she was not yet twelve years old back then and didn’t have to bear any criminal responsibility.
This result made everyone furious.
Especially Mei Yan, who was the youngest. He was only nine years old this year.
It was an age where he didn’t need to take any legal responsibility.
He couldn’t help but roar at the presiding judge, “Then if I stab her now with a knife to avenge my mother, will you not convict me either?”
“Yanyan!” Mei Feng held back his grief and indignation and hurriedly stopped his brother, fearing that he would do something stupid.
Mei Mu grinned sinisterly and said, “Good sister, it seems that we still have a long way to go!”
