My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband

Chapter 374: Super Defender! 1

Old Master Su, fuming and glaring, said, "You are indeed my granddaughter! My very own granddaughter!"

He leveraged his seniority and said to Mo Yinhe, "You rascal, you’ve stolen my granddaughter without even calling me Grandpa! You show no respect for your elders. Don’t think I’ll just hand over my granddaughter to you!"

Mo Yinhe took his seat on Si Mingjing’s other side and raised an eyebrow at the comment.

Because of Chen Fengdu, he had always detested being made to call anyone ’Grandpa’.

However, he thought, If it weren’t for Old Master Su pulling strings to bring Mingjing back, my Mingjing might still be on Prison Star, her cries reaching neither heaven nor earth.

Mo Yinhe felt grateful to Old Master Su and said sincerely and respectfully, "Grandpa."

"Hmph! You’ve got yourself a bargain!" Old Master Su was still reluctant, yet helpless. He held Si Mingjing’s hand, saying, "Alright, alright, this old man has seen the light. A melon forced off its vine isn’t sweet. As long as my granddaughter is happy and someone is there to protect her, Grandpa supports whoever you wish to marry!"

After all, his main reason for wanting Mingjing to marry—and thus for him to gain a grandson-in-law—was to ensure the Su Family could protect her and prevent the Song Family from bullying her. But since Mingjing returned to Earth, she had never been bullied by the Song Family. Now, she had even managed to bring them to court to be judged by the law. What more did he need to worry about? Mingjing had found a better man, one even more outstanding than those three disappointments of his own household; he should be happy for Mingjing.

Old Master Su bragged, "You punk, winning my granddaughter’s heart is the luck of three lifetimes for you, do you understand?"

"Understood."

Mo Yinhe felt that Old Master Su truly cherished Si Mingjing. He thus showed even more respect and, going along with Old Master Su’s words to please the old man, said, "It’s due to my ancestors’ good fortune that I won Mingjing’s heart. Grandpa, I’ll treat her well and thank you for bringing her to my side. I will always remember this kindness."

Old Master Su had a soft spot for pleasing words, and Mo Yinhe knew just what to say. The old man beamed with satisfaction, stroking his grizzled beard as he nodded continuously.

In the end, he couldn’t help but admit, "Indeed, you are far better than those three wretches of mine!"

Si Mingjing smiled and complimented, "Su Cheng is doing a remarkable job in Yecheng; he is also very capable."

At that moment, Old Master Song, Song Mother, Song Tengfei, and Fang Jing were escorted to the defendants’ dock.

The judge, the jury, Prosecutor Xia Man, the defense lawyers, and others arrived one after another.

Then, the trial began.

Prosecutor Xia Man stood first, detailing the crimes of the Song Family, asserting, "The whole family conspired to use the surgically altered Liang Shimu to murder their neighbor and frame Si Yao. They should be sentenced to life imprisonment and sent to Prison Star!"

Old Master Song and Song Mother had already confessed, leaving no doubt about their guilt.

However, Song Tengfei and Fang Jing adamantly denied their involvement in the case. The reason for the arrest of Song Tengfei and Fang Jing was their suspected attempt to murder Si Mingjing.

Hearing Prosecutor Xia Man’s accusations, Song Tengfei and Fang Jing denied in unison, "I didn’t do it!"

Song Mother also said, "My son and daughter-in-law had no knowledge of it; those two absolutely did not participate in this matter!"

Old Master Song stated, "I masterminded this whole thing; my daughter-in-law and granddaughter were involved, but everyone else was unaware."

The Song Family believed that as long as their statements were consistent, Song Tengfei and Fang Jing would be completely exonerated.

Si Mingjing, sitting in the gallery, watched the Song Family with a cold gaze.

Heh... Do they still think they can save those two now? Possible?

Si Mingjing looked over at Prosecutor Xia Man, and as their eyes met, Prosecutor Xia Man understood.

Prosecutor Xia Man stood up and presented a file to the court, "Your Honor, I have here an investigative report showing that the two deceased victims were the biological parents of the defendant Fang Jing. Before they were killed, they had sought out Fang Jing, wanting to acknowledge her. Fang Jing despised her parents from the countryside. Desiring to climb the social ladder and get involved with the seafood business of the Huo Family, she orchestrated this murder, manipulating the defendant Song Tengfei to frame his ex-wife for the murder..."

As these words fell, the room burst into an uproar. A single phrase ignited a thousand waves, shocking everyone as they stared at Fang Jing. Even the Song Family members were stunned, unable to believe it.

Song Tengfei’s voice was filled with astonishment, "What are you saying? Who are Ah Jing’s biological parents?"

The prosecutor handed the evidence to the judge—it was a paternity test report and several witness statements. These had been obtained through Mo Yinhe’s investigation.

The witness statements were from intermediaries who had assisted the murdered neighbors in searching for their abducted daughter. There was also a statement from the director of the orphanage where Fang Jing had stayed. The director had written the statement by hand and pressed her fingerprint on it. It revealed that after a relentless search, the murdered couple had found the orphanage while looking for their biological daughter. The director, after investigation, confirmed that Fang Jing was indeed their child, but Fang Jing refused to acknowledge her parents.

Song Tengfei broke into a cold sweat. He turned in disbelief to question Fang Jing, who was sitting beside him in the defendants’ dock.

"Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou were your biological parents? You wouldn’t even spare your own parents?"

The moment Song Tengfei spoke, Fang Jing, in a fit of panic, fiercely stomped on his foot.

His words indirectly implied that Fang Jing had orchestrated the plot to murder and frame someone.

Realizing he had misspoken in his agitation, Song Tengfei fell silent, his eyes fixed intently on Fang Jing.

Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou were the murdered neighbors.

Indeed, Fang Jing had instigated him to commit the murder, but only today did Song Tengfei learn that his neighbors were Fang Jing’s parents! His wife, personally planning the murder of her own biological parents—how was that possible? His wife was supposed to be a gentle, delicate woman, who wouldn’t even dare kill a chicken in everyday life! How could she be so cold-hearted and ruthless?

Fang Jing, who had remained composed until now, turned deathly pale upon seeing the evidence. She became extremely agitated.

"No, that’s not true! This evidence is fake! This is a setup!"

After all, her parents were long dead. As long as she denied it, who could prove that couple was her biological parents?

Fang Jing adamantly insisted that Prosecutor Xia Man was framing her.

Xia Man, in his black prosecutor’s uniform, with his tall frame, broad shoulders, and dignified bearing, possessed a face that radiated righteousness. It brought a certain phrase to mind: Appearance is justice! Moreover, as a prosecutor, he had no need to present false evidence to frame Fang Jing.

Prosecutor Xia Man said, "Your Honor, I request an on-site paternity test. Because their daughter was abducted, the victimized couple had their DNA registered with the police system. The police should have their DNA data. It wouldn’t be difficult to verify the relationship between Fang Jing and the victims."

Everyone present, including the spectators in the gallery, began to murmur among themselves, agreeing that this was a good idea.

The judge banged the gavel. "Granted."

"No! That’s not right! You can’t do this!" Fang Jing was unwilling to undergo the paternity test, her emotions running high as she resisted. But the courtroom was not a place for her to act willfully.
