Chapter 1040 - 122: Li Siru, You Win!
No thoughts at all?
Lu Beiyao seemed to have been plunged into hell directly!
He reached out to her, but the moment his hand was about to touch her face, it froze in mid-air.
Clearly, she was right in front of him, but he felt as if he couldn’t grasp her anymore.
"Do you know that saying this could really land you in prison?" His voice was hoarse as if cut by a knife, making it painful for those who heard it.
Li Siru was silent for a moment before softly saying, "If Cousin can go to prison, why can’t I?"
She stared directly at him, but there wasn’t a glimmer of light in her eyes, she was really going to...
Lu Beiyao stood up and took a deep breath, "Li Siru, you’ve won, you’ve completely won!"
He turned around and headed out, the lawyer who followed said, "About the events involving the Li Family’s young lady back then, it can be said that there’s no evidence. Present were the two young ladies from the Li Family and Mr. Zhou. Now the second young lady has admitted in person that she was responsible, and she was the owner of the car, this becomes direct evidence, especially since the only person who could testify, Mr. Zhou, has now become a suspect. She is very likely to be convicted."
Lu Beiyao was shocked; he had schemed to frame Zhou Ju’an, but didn’t expect to turn the only person who could prove her innocence into a suspect. Now, there’s no witness.
"What can be done?" Lu Beiyao asked nervously.
"Young Master Lu wants to get the second young lady out?" The lawyer confirmed.
"Of course!"
The lawyer cleared his throat lightly, "As long as the second young lady admits it was a dispute between her and you, and hence the confession, at worst, she would fabricate her testimony. With the Lu Family’s connections, it can be settled at any time."
Indeed, it’s very straightforward!
But, will she cooperate?
"However..." the lawyer pondered slightly, "if the second young lady is innocent, then Mr. Zhou becomes the suspect. If we are adamant that it was the Li Family’s young lady driving the car, Mr. Lu, your report will... If we repeatedly ignore the law, the police might not believe the second young lady’s dispute with you."
In other words, Zhou Ju’an and Li Siru must choose one to hand over to the police for handling.
She originally confessed for Zhou Ju’an’s sake, will she obediently cooperate?
"I understand!" Lu Beiyao responded faintly.
"Then I’ll go prepare!"
As soon as the lawyer left, Lu Beiyao lit a cigarette and smoked silently. He had calculated everything but hadn’t anticipated that she would drag herself into it.
This predicament now, ultimately, was caused by himself...
He impatiently threw the cigarette in his hand violently away!
Because Mr. Li was hospitalized, Zhou Ju’an and Li Siru ended up in the police station, leaving the Li Family without anyone to lean on. Li Minghui was busy taking care of Mr. Li and attending to his wife.
With difficulty, he handed over the first half of the engagement video to Zhou Mingyu, but she, usually silent, said, "Why did they stop recording here? Why hasn’t Sisi come to see me these days?"
"She’s busy with matters at the tea estate, how can she come to see you?" Li Minghui replied impatiently.
"In the past, even when the tea estate was so busy, Dad managed it alone; now how could she be so busy she doesn’t have time to see me. Since she’s engaged to Ju An, they should come to see me together!" Perhaps being ill, lying there all day makes one think too much, "The engagement ceremony hasn’t been fully recorded, is it because they aren’t truly engaged, just recording a video to deceive me?"
"No one has time to deceive you now, you should quickly cooperate with the treatment and stop causing trouble!" Li Minghui was already overwhelmed.
"Your attitude clearly indicates there’s something going on. If Sisi and Ju’an don’t come to see me together, I won’t believe it. I won’t accept treatment, it’s too painful, I won’t accept it!" Zhou Mingyu’s face showed a hint of rejection even as she mentioned it.
