Chapter 772: Chapter 772: Evil Begets Evil

Ever since the little boy found out that he was going to be a big brother, he has called Beibei and Guoguo more than once to show off.

"You two wouldn’t understand, you were raised together, right? Beibei, you never changed Guoguo’s diapers, did you? And Guoguo, you couldn’t have breastfed him!"

On the other end of the line, Beibei responded, "Well, the baby of our uncle and aunt will be born soon. We can also change its diapers and breastfeed it."

This time, the boy had nothing to say, "That’s true, my aunt’s baby must also be very cute."

Zhu Qianying and Yan watched as the boy, wrapped up in an exciting phone conversation on the sofa, laughed and shook his head.

Fortunately, the boy now mentions Bai Xiaolu less and less. It seems that children always tend to be more forgetful than adults.

As for Zhu Qianying, with videos from Jiang Qi becoming less frequent and her best friend’s phone perpetually switched off, she was increasingly anxious.

But her anxiety was useless. After all, it was her friend’s choice. She had no right to stop or interfere with it, and she was powerless to do so.

Noticing her anxiety, Yan comforted her.

"Don’t worry. Just for the sake that Bai Shao left behind a heir for the Zong family, they would not make things difficult for her."

The struggles within the Zong family were complex enough that even Yan couldn’t fully understand, let alone Zhu Qianying.

Although her friend’s situation made Zhu Qianying somewhat uneasy, overall, she was more often happy than worried during this time.

Life flowed quietly and warmly, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed since Yan’s birthday.

During this time, although Zhu Qianying was forbidden to return to Yanhuang, Yan basically chose to ignore her when she was busy with her designs at home, rarely interfering.

Perhaps, he understood that for a person as industrious as Zhu Qianying, living without any work to do could be quite painful.

As for Zhu Qianying, despite complaining about Yan’s domineering and excessive care, she knew very well that Yan ordered her to not return to Yanhuang for her own good.

Imagine, if she returned to Yanhuang, she would naturally check the progress of the studio renovation. However, the studio was now dusty and noisy, the smell of various chemicals was irritating, indeed it was not a place suitable for a pregnant woman.

Moreover, since Yan didn’t allow Zhu Qianying to return to Yanhuang, he consciously took on the responsibility of supervising the studio’s renovation progress, often calling her to check in and sending videos or pictures of the studio’s progress.

Therefore, although Zhu Qianying was not present, she knew very well how the construction was going.

Zhu Junwei’s case finally went to the court. Fearing that Zhu Qianying could become upset and affect her mood and the health of the baby, Yan asked her to stay at home. Yan, with Yan Bo and his wife, Ke Kai, Qin Xiu, and Luo Yifan attended the hearing.

In addition to the incident involving the boy, Yan also accused Zhu Junwei of several counts, including the car accidents involving Zhu Qianying and the boy, and bribing Doctor Zhao with money to make a series of false diagnoses over five years ago. This time, Yan would definitely not let Zhu Junwei escape justice.

On the way, Ke Kai couldn’t resist asking out of curiosity, "Sir, who do you think from the Zhu family will attend the hearing today?"

The answer to this question was not hard to guess.

Zhu Zhizhou and Zhu Shaofen were still recovering from their injuries in the hospital, even if they wanted to come, it was unlikely that the doctor would agree.

The eldest son of the Zhu family, Zhu Junzhao, was still in jail, so he would probably be happy to hear that his younger brother would be joining him.

And Zhu Haokang, who had been abroad, had not returned to the country for more than half a year, seemingly trying to sever ties with the Zhu family.

As for Zhu Haoming, he finally took the coveted position as the chairman of Song Corporation a week ago. With his young wife, child, and great authority, he probably didn’t have the time or inclination to attend the hearing.

As for the daughters of the Zhu family, they only cared about their lavish lifestyles; they were not interested in whether Zhu Junwei lived or died.

"Who cares!"

Yan didn’t much care about these matters, all he cared about was how many years Zhu Junwei would be sentenced.

"The Zhu family should attend the hearing. After all, they do adore Zhu Junwei very much."

Qin Xiu’s guess was quickly confirmed.

As Yan and his party of six entered the courtroom, they saw from a distance that the patriarch of the Zhu family had arrived early with his sons and was sitting in the front row of the visitor’s section.

Yan and his group acted as if they hadn’t seen them and took their seats in the middle of the second row.

The patriarch of the Zhu family was over eighty years old. Although he didn’t often interact with Yan in business, he had encountered Yan Bo quite a bit in the past.

When he heard footsteps, the men of the Zhu family all turned around. The younger ones had a change of expression, while the patriarch of the Zhu family stared at Yan Bo for a while before getting up and bowing slightly.

"Old Yan, in consideration of our decades of friendship, could you possibly show mercy ..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Yan Bo interrupted him with a smile, "Brother Zhu, would you spare someone who tried repeatedly to kill your grandson and daughter-in-law?"

The patriarch of the Zhu family’s complexion changed, he turned around silently and slumped back into his seat.

After each side’s attorneys debated and submitted their evidence, meaning two hours later, the trial had a verdict.

The serious judge sat on the bench, his assistant took the verdict document and read aloud, "The defendant Zhu Junwei is found guilty of attempted murder. Although the victims Zhu Qianying and Yan escaped their fates, he repeatedly committed crimes, causing great psychological harm to the victim (Yan), and he is sentenced to life imprisonment ..."

As for the driver, although he was not the mastermind, he was the executioner of the two cases and was also sentenced to thirty years in prison.

This judgment meant that Zhu Junwei and the driver would likely spend the rest of their lives in prison.

Of course, they could appeal, but given the solid evidence, even if they appealed, the original sentence would likely stand.

In addition, considering Yan’s status, how could he allow the Zhu family and Zhu Family any chance to overturn the decision?

As for this result, Yan, Zhu Qianying, and even Yan Bo and his wife were mostly satisfied.

As long as Zhu Junwei could no longer harm the boy or the Yan family, they were satisfied.

Of course, the Zhu family was not satisfied with this result and immediately filed an appeal.

However, when the judgment of the second trial came down, it upheld the original sentence!

With that, justice was finally served to Zhu Junwei, who had been constantly scheming behind the scenes to intentionally harm Zhu Qianying and her son.
