Qin Meimei was no pushover. Seeing the situation was not in her favor, she immediately called her lawyer.
In her eyes, even if Ye Qichen had hired Shen Zhou, a top-tier lawyer, and Lu Chenyu had come for Yu He, they wouldn't be able to defeat her.
With Shao Chen and Duan Aiguo supporting her, Yu He had no chance of turning things around!
Yu He saw that everyone was present. Her task was also complete. She put away her phone and looked up.
Her lips moved as she said, "Let's begin."
Her gaze was indifferent and distant, her demeanor cool and detached, as if she stood above everyone present.
Duan Aiguo winked at Chen Hao, who understood and opened the re-organized case files.
"Regarding the case you reported this morning, Qin Meimei, we have re-verified the facts. The victim, Gu Ze, can speak normally. The situation is not as reported!"
Qin Meimei's lawyer, surnamed Miao, had already learned about this situation this morning and stepped forward to defend her.
"He suddenly recovered his voice today, which doesn't mean he wasn't harmed. We have a certificate from Renren Hospital, as well as proof from doctors and nurses that he couldn't speak last night."
"What you need to provide is evidence that Yu He caused Gu Ze to be unable to speak, not hospital certificates," Shen Zhou said.
During the time Miao lawyer was rushing over, she had already understood the entire situation.
Miao lawyer: "..."
As expected of a renowned top-tier lawyer in the country, her words immediately pinpointed their key weakness.
The hospital had yet to find the reason for Gu Ze's inability to speak. Apart from Gu Ze's own account, there was no other evidence.
However, she still braced herself and said,
"The teacher at the mailroom of Kaiwei Academy can testify that when Gu Ze left the mailroom after school yesterday afternoon, his voice was normal. However, after the conflict with Yu He, when he returned to the mailroom, he couldn't speak."
"I can testify to that," Lu Chenyu stepped forward and said.
Qin Meimei felt a sense of relief inwardly at this.
She had just been worried that Lu Chenyu was called over by Yu He's side. Now that he had stepped forward to speak for Gu Ze, she was reassured.
"But his inability to speak was not caused by Yu He. At that time, I went to the mailroom to pick up a package and happened to see Gu Ze physically bullying Yu He. I pushed him away, and then he couldn't speak."
Lu Chenyu continued, "Classmate Yu He was afraid I would misunderstand and even offered Gu Ze a way out. Gu Ze then voluntarily helped Yu He move packages. His finger was injured purely by accident."
Qin Meimei: "!"
Gu Ze: "!!!"
"I didn't hit her! She touched my pressure point for silence first, and that's why I got angry with her!" Gu Ze said, his eyes wide open, defending himself.
"Touched your pressure point? Have you been reading too many martial arts novels!" Yu He chuckled softly.
"You!" Gu Ze was momentarily choked by her words.
He had clearly felt Yu He's hand sweep past his neck and then he couldn't make a sound. What was that if not touching a pressure point?!
"I suspect that Gu Ze's supposed inability to speak might be faked. Otherwise, why can't the hospital find the cause of the illness?" Yu He said thoughtfully.
As soon as she said this, Lu Chenyu and the lawyers looked at Gu Ze with feigned enlightenment, as if they had just realized something.
"No, I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!" Gu Ze was speechless.
Qin Meimei's gaze turned grim. "Chenyu, you've known Xiao Ze for so long, don't you trust his character? Why are you helping Yu He to give false testimony? Did she threaten you too?"
"I stand for justice, not for personal relationships," Lu Chenyu said righteously. "Also, I'm ashamed. Knowing you all for so long, I've only now seen your true colors. I've already broken off relations with Gu Ze."
Gu Ze hadn't expected Lu Chenyu to be so ungracious, revealing this matter publicly. He felt his breathing quicken with anger.
Qin Meimei took a deep breath, disregarding asking Gu Ze what was going on.
Lu Chenyu's testimony shifted the momentum in Yu He's favor. Relying solely on arguments would not benefit them. She needed to think of a way.
Her gaze turned to Shao Chen and Duan Aiguo, contemplating how to speak.
Meanwhile, Miao lawyer argued, "If you truly didn't harm Gu Ze, why would we call the police?"
Shen Zhou: "Because you wanted her to go to jail!"
The truth was revealed so abruptly that Miao lawyer couldn't respond.
Her intended retreat was through a misunderstanding, but Shen Zhou didn't give her that opportunity.
"In summary, Qin Meimei fabricated facts, colluded with law enforcement, filed a false report, and intended to frame Yu He, causing her to be imprisoned. She has committed the crime of false accusation. I request the officer to file a case," Shen Zhou said to Chen Hao.
"File a case." Chen Hao waved his hand, and two police officers immediately stepped forward to apprehend Qin Meimei.
Qin Meimei was caught off guard by this counterattack.
She looked at Shao Chen and Duan Aiguo again. "Young Master Shao, Director Duan..."
Shao Chen leaned against the iron gate, smoking a cigar and watching the show, without even looking at her.
"I think it's necessary to investigate her bribery as well," he added.
How dare she use such despicable means to frame his sister-in-law? If he didn't deal with it harshly, he wouldn't know how to explain it to Brother Ting when he got back.
Qin Meimei: "!!!"
Shao Chen wasn't on her side?!
"Young Master Shao, don't worry, all unsavory means will be thoroughly investigated," Duan Aiguo said, then turned to Yu He.
"Miss Yu, are you satisfied with how this matter has been handled? If you have any issues, we can go out first and discuss it slowly in my office."
He smiled, his posture and tone showing unconcealed respect.
Qin Meimei: "!!!!"
Not just Qin Meimei, but Gu Ze and Lu Chen, as well as the others, were also shocked.
They had all noticed Shao Chen and Duan Aiguo watching, but none of them had expected that this case was actually being retried specifically for Yu He!
"Thank you, it's very good," Yu He said, standing up and walking out of the detention cell at a leisurely pace.
Duan Aiguo breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, this important figure was out.
Yu He's steps paused at the doorway, her gaze indifferently looking at Qin Meimei.
Her lips moved: "I'm sorry, Madam Gu, I took your spot. You can go in."
Her tone was light, but her words were infuriating.
Qin Meimei gnashed her teeth in anger, her eyes fixed on Yu He like a venomous snake. "Bitch!"
She had been careless!
She never imagined that Shao Chen would support this bitch!
It couldn't be denied that this bitch had a beautiful face. Everyone knew that Shao Chen changed women like changing clothes. When Shao Chen got tired of her, she would have plenty of suffering to endure!
With the situation having escalated to this point, and with Shao Chen and Duan Aiguo present, Qin Meimei could only swallow her pride and wait for the Gu family to bail her out.
Otherwise, if things got ugly, she might actually end up in jail!
Chen Hao put a hand on Qin Meimei's shoulder and pushed her into the detention cell with force. With a "bang," the iron door was locked.
"Mom..." Gu Ze wanted to stop it, but it was too late. He was directly escorted out by the police.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Shao Chen said with disdain, "Alright, let's go. It stinks in here."
Yu He: "..."
Duan Aiguo: "..."
Chen Hao: "..."
You didn't seem so disgusted when you first arrived. After staying for a few hours and then showing disgust, isn't that a bit too deliberate?
