Chapter 823: Identity Exposed!_3
Ren Qian also stood up nervously, "Mr. Mu, what is Lawyer Song doing? Why isnât he speaking?"
Actually, Mu Zhendong and Dong Chuan also found it strange.
Song Xi, personally hired by Dong Chuanâs mother at a great cost, was known for his capability. Why hasnât he said a word till now?
The judge glanced in Song Xiâs direction and then knocked the gavel to remind him.
"My client only learned to drive a few months ago," Song Xi regained his composure as he submitted his sideâs evidence, "Itâs very normal for new drivers to confuse the gas pedal with the brake. According to the information, my client and Mao Xiaoqi have no underlying conflicts..."
He listed evidence one by one.
Including Ren Wanxuanâs performance at school, enough to prove she is a good youth of the new era.
All this was just because she was too nervous and mishandled the situation.
Ren Wanxuan had no reason to target Xiaoqi
After Song Xi finished, Ren Wanxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, slumping back into her chair, regaining her composure, "I was just too nervous at that time."
Ren Qian and Ren Jiawei and others calmed down as well.
"Nervous? Letâs just say you were nervous," Chi Yundai pulled out another report, speaking calmly, "I investigated Miss Renâs academic performance and health report. Miss Ren, you typically study well and practice calligraphy, which as everyone knows, requires calm to learn well. Miss Ren, your health report from last month also shows you are very healthy, with no mental disorders such as anxiety. May I ask why were you nervous when there were no cars or animals nearby to frighten you?"
The jurors continued to take out Chi Yundaiâs materials.
Why were you nervous?
The court did not expect Chi Yundai to pose this question.
Ren Wanxuan, when asked this question, froze entirely and did not immediately respond to Chi Yundaiâs question.
Song Xi had prepared many professional replies.
But he had nothing concerning emotional aspects, as Chi Yundaiâs perspective was too tricky, and coupled with his expression, Song Xi looked towards Ren Wanxuanâs demeanor and understood there must be insider details.
He began to regret it; he had taken this case only after hearing about the Dong Family.
A minor traffic accident case, and the opponent was Chi Yundai.
Thinking this, his gaze fell on Xiaoqi sitting at the defendantâs seat. How did this orphan manage to hire the big demon Chi?
"Miss Ren Wanxuan, please answer my question," Chi Yundaiâs piercing gaze fixed on Ren Wanxuan.
Chi Yundai, as the lead lawyer of the Jiang Family, his nickname as the great devil was well-earned in the circle.
His gaze was so imposing that most lawyers would become disoriented under it.
Not to mention the inexperienced Ren Wanxuan.
"I, I..." Ren Wanxuan could not answer and looked desperately towards Song Xi.
On her side, Ren Qian clenched his fists tightly, watching Ren Wanxuan being pressured like this in the courtroom; he looked angrily and resentfully at Xiaoqi and Bai Lian.
Xiaoqi felt that resentful glare.
He finally lifted his head, looking back emotionlessly.
Ahead, Chi Yundai leaning on the table, casually picked up another file, "Canât answer? Then let me help you. Itâs because you already knew you were Zhou Jianâs daughter, and after coming to Jiangjing, you discovered that Xiaoqi was the true son of Ren Jiawei and Ji Shaorong. You wanted to use this opportunity to kill him completely. Thatâs your motive."
"No, I didnât want to kill him!" Ren Wanxuan hadnât expected Chi Yundai to know this; she blurted out instinctively.
"So, you knew about Xiaoqi being the biological son of Ren Jiawei and Ji Shaorong?" Chi Yundai continued calmly.
After this sentence, Ren Wanxuan suddenly realized what she had just revealedâeffectively admitting she knew Xiaoqiâs true identity.
She couldnât help but step back, falling into her chair.
Chi Yundai took out the last two documents, "These are two paternity tests, please have the jury review them."
All of a sudden, the courtroom fell completely silent.
Even Mao Kun gaped; he looked alternately at Xiaoqi and Bai Lian, finally resting his eyes on Ren Jiawei opposite him.
Opposite him, Ren Qian, who was resenting Bai Lian and Xiaoqi, had a moment of shock go through his mind. He stared blankly at Chi Yundai, utterly lost, no longer reacting.
And the courtroom, after a moment of silence, erupted into uproar.
Ren Jiaweiâs heart felt like it was being tightly squeezed by an invisible hand; she looked somewhat frightened and helpless towards Xiaoqi, weakened, unable to utter a word.
Then she stumbled towards the jury, grabbing the paternity tests from the jury foremanâs hands.
This was unreasonable, but the jurors, having never seen such a scene, did not stop her.
One was between her and Xiaoqi, the other was between her and Ren Wanxuan.
