Chapter 722: Chapter 722
"Okay, I got it, Uncle Four." Updates are released by NoveI~Fire.net
After hanging up the phone, Ning Zijin furrowed her brow and turned her head to glance at Ye Feng, "I need to make a call to Jian Junjie. You—won’t mind, will you?"
Ye Feng raised an eyebrow, "What do you think?"
"This time it’s really important. My Aunt’s niece got involved in a murder case. Now, the only one we can turn to is Jian Junjie."
"If it’s your problem, it’s my problem too. I’ll find the best lawyer to defend her."
Ning Zijin shook her head, "The situation isn’t that simple right now. I can’t explain it in a word or two. I’ll tell you about it when we have the time. Let’s head home first—I’ve already made an appointment with Uncle Four."
The two of them left the airport and took a taxi straight to the Ning Family’s residence.
Yun Ya was currently surrounded by numerous paparazzi who were everywhere, trying to dig up news about her. People from the prosecutor’s office had come to her house early in the morning and had not managed to elude the paparazzi’s eyes. The news quickly spread online.
Many people speculated that it was Yun Shen who had caused the trouble. After all, there had been so much trouble with Yun Group lately, and there were rumors of him being involved in illegal fundraising. The prosecutor’s office had visited the company several times, and although the vice president, Gao You, was the one taken away ultimately, rumors about internal problems within Yun Group were rampant. Now, the prosecutor’s office had even shown up at their home.
Is Yun Group about to go bankrupt? Is Ji Yunya soon to lose his identity as the son of a wealthy family? These were the questions that many netizens were most concerned about now.
But soon, an insider leaked information that it wasn’t Yun Shen the prosecutor’s office was after, but Ji Yunya. The reason was that Ji Yunya had become embroiled in a murder case, and the prosecutor’s office suspected Ji Yunya of murder...
Upon this revelation, netizens were in an uproar. This was complete BS. How could the prosecutor’s office even consider Ji Yunya as a murder suspect? This had to be the biggest joke of the century.
Many netizens were enraged. How could anyone tarnish their goddess? The idea of murder linked to Ji Yunya was completely absurd; it was as if it couldn’t even be connected by a stretch of the imagination. Ji Yunya had made such a deep impression on them that any desecration seemed unfathomable, even thinking about it felt like a stain on the goddess herself.
Netizens tore into the blogger who had spread the rumors, inciting public outrage. Eventually, a powerful netizen dug up Bai Xiangxiang’s case. The court had already passed down its judgment. The evidence was irrefutable, and she was sentenced to ten years of imprisonment. The judge must be blind to sentence someone who committed murder to only ten years. Also, why appeal when the evidence was conclusive? In the end, they tried to pin the blame on Ji Yunya. They were just trying to make Ji Yunya take the fall for them, weren’t they? It was quite the cunning move. Online, the voice condemning Bai Xiangxiang rose in a wave.
Someone revealed that the reason Bai Xiangxiang received such a light sentence despite being guilty of murder was her significant background. Now, the person behind her was attempting to shift the blame onto Ji Yunya to cover up Bai Xiangxiang’s crime. Not many people knew about Bai Xiangxiang, but her aunt was well-known to all—Bai Ran, Ji Yunya’s former stepmother, who divorced Yun Shen and remarried immediately afterward. What’s vital is the background of her new husband, who is no ordinary figure. He is the Ning Family’s most low-profile Fourth Master, the current professor at Jiangzhou University. The Ning Family is well-known to everyone.
But what’s even more astonishing is Ning Zijin, the eldest daughter of the wealthy Ning Family, whose first love happens to be the current deputy chief of a certain court, the senior prosecutor of the prosecutor’s office, who formerly had an undefeated record as a lawyer. It is he who is taking full charge of the case. He personally sought out Ji Yunya. Trace back through this circle of relationships, and what’s unclear?
To save her niece, Bai Ran shifted the blame onto her former stepdaughter. After all, there has never been much affection between stepmothers and stepchildren. Netizens thought they had figured out the real truth, and they were both excited and furious as they denounced Bai Ran, whose image, once slightly redeemed, was again blackened.
When Bai Ran saw the news on the internet, she almost died of anger. What did this have to do with her? She was so regretful now. It was like lifting a rock to smash her own feet, and all she could do was to swallow her teeth in blood. She could only hope that the verdict in Bai Xiangxiang’s case would come soon.
The tubular arrow poison alkaloid was found in Bai Xiangxiang’s cosmetics. The reason it hadn’t been found during the first search was that she had poured the substance into an old bottle of cosmetics, which was naturally overlooked by the staff during the initial search. This time, the search was intensified, not sparing a single brick or tile, and it was the unusual smell that alerted the staff to the discovery.
