Chapter 2717: Felt Like a Small Pet Baring Her Teeth and Claws
Cheng Fei was still looking at Ning Shu with a gentle gaze. He simply calmly refuted all of Ning Shu’s claims.
Ning Shu obviously wanted him to be convicted, but he was still neither impatient nor furious.
He looked at Ning Shu with eyes that were filled with doting affection.
At the same time, sometimes his stare was deep with incomprehensible hidden intentions….
Ning Shu felt like a small pet baring her teeth and claws in front of Cheng Fei.
Cheng Fei didn’t seem to think that this pet of his could bring him any harm. He didn’t seem concerned at all about her intentions.
Ning Shu lowered her head and stopped talking. She was aware that her evidence was really weak and couldn’t support the sentence at all.
Everything obviously had something to do with Cheng Fei, but she couldn’t prove the links to him.
The trial continued. Ning Shu was beginning to think that Cheng Fei might be released without any punishment.
In the end, though, the efforts of the procuratorate gave Cheng Fei a sentence of five years in prison.
Five years?
That was such a light punishment! Cheng Fei was really too cunning.
When Cheng Fei looked at Ning Shu again, his eyes were shining brightly.
Ning Shu: …
What, was he showing off to her?
Even though Cheng Fei was the one who was going to face five years in prison, it was the people who’d be on the other side of the bars who were worried about it.
As soon as Cheng Fei came out, they’d face the threat of being murdered again.
That was the way the law was.
It could be used to punish someone, but one could always exploit it too.
Just when the presiding judge was about to pronounce the sentence, Cheng Fei’s eyes closed and he fell straight to the ground.
A commotion erupted in the courtroom.
The medical staff rushed to help him. They checked his pupils and pressed on his DU-26 acupuncture point to try to help him regain consciousness, but all to no avail.
Almost immediately, he began to foam at the mouth, and his whole body began to convulse uncontrollably.
His symptoms were somewhat like epilepsy.
Hahaha…
Ning Shu sneered. So this was what Cheng Fei had been planning.
The police surrounded Cheng Fei, who was still convulsing and carried him into an ambulance. The ambulance then sped off.
Now that the prisoner was in such a state, they naturally had no way to proceed.
Ning Shu’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot as she left the court.
Mother Ai was a little puzzled as she asked, “What happened to Cheng Fei? I didn’t know he had epilepsy.”
Professor Ai looked worried. “Is he trying to evade punishment by doing this?”
As expected, Professor Ai saw things the most clearly.
The trial wouldn’t be continued until Cheng Fei was well enough, and the trial results also wouldn’t be read out until then.
Cheng Fei’s predicament might result in his punishment being reduced out of a humanitarian spirit. That was besides the fact that his victim—her—was still alive, which also worked in his favor.
Pretending to be sick was probably only the beginning, too.
Ning Shu took a deep breath.
Cheng Fei didn’t have any family, but Ning Shu still had Professor Ai and Mother Ai.
She naturally had more things to consider.
Ning Shu didn’t know what’d happen if Cheng Fei went all out.
Professor Ai was having a headache. “It won’t benefit anyone if things go on like this. It’s better to settle grievances rather than allow them to pile up, so I think we need to have a proper talk with Cheng Fei.”
Ning Shu also longed for a peaceful and beautiful world, but was it possible?
“That’s impossible, Dad.”
With her testimony in court, she had practically thrown stones at Cheng Fei’s head while he was at the bottom of a well.
Cheng Fei might have behaved calmly, but that didn’t necessarily mean he truly had no grudge in his heart.
The Ai family’s mood remained very low. Ai Yun’s parents were extremely worried. After all, out there was a person who was constantly targeting their daughter and hoping to fossilize her.
They were very anxious right now. Furthermore, due to this incident, they didn’t even have the chance to bring up the matter of the divorce during the court proceedings.
Ning Shu thought for a while, then told Ai Yun’s parents to go home without her. She wanted to go to the hospital to see Cheng Fei’s current situation.
Professor Ai originally wanted to go with Ning Shu, but Ning Shu told him that she’d be fine, and asked him to go home first with Mother Ai.
