Chapter 361: Chapter 361: You Are Just as Dirty as Me Deep Down

Xu Guangyao’s expression was ferocious as he glared at the group of them.

"Are you all here to mock me? My entire life has been ruined by you." His voice was hoarse, like rough gravel, causing a sense of panic in listeners.

Liu Huimin looked at his current state and couldn’t understand why she had ever fallen in love with him.

"Xu Guangyao, the evidence is conclusive. I’ve spoken with lawyers, and your initial trial will likely conclude with an immediate sentence, probably life imprisonment. You’ll spend the rest of your life in prison."

Liu Huimin said coldly, hating Xu Guangyao to death.

Xu Guangyao’s eyes were bloodshot, a deep crimson.

He seemed ready to devour someone.

He looked at Liu Huimin and Qiao Xi standing together, then suddenly lashed out at Qiao Xi: "Have you recognized Liu Huimin as your mother? You couldn’t resist the glory and wealth of the Liu Family, could you? Despite how much Liu Huimin targeted you for Xingluo, you still recognize her as your mother!

I knew you present yourself as noble, but deep down, you have filth in your blood just like me."

His words were utterly heart-wrenching.

Everyone else’s expression grew stern, worrying glances cast towards Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi pursed her lips tightly. If it were the past, such words would have shattered her, disgusted by her own birth.

But things were different now!

She broke free from Huo Xingzhou’s grip and slowly walked up to Xu Guangyao, saying, "The blood you speak of is indeed filthy, but the person who should feel ashamed and disgraced is the beastly you, not me."

"You and Madam Liu are biologically my parents, but who I become, what I become, is my decision! I’ve been taught from childhood to live uprightly, with no shame under heaven or to my conscience."

Qiao Xi understood Xu Guangyao’s vicious intentions, and with a calm voice, she spoke: "Do you think these words can break my will? You underestimate the struggles I’ve endured. Only your most cherished daughter, Xu Xingluo, couldn’t bear the fall from grace and went mad."

Xu Guangyao stared at her, dumbfounded.

Xingluo went mad?

No one had informed him; she had gone mad?

"Your favorite mistress, Shen Shiyun, has decided to testify in court, accusing you of deliberately murdering your biological daughter twenty-two years ago to cover up your crime."

Qiao Xi was no saint.

Since Xu Guangyao refused to repent and intended to crush her,

she didn’t mind delivering this news to him for free.

Xu Guangyao could hardly stand, his throat churning as he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. He felt as though all his strength had been drained, seeing stars before his eyes. His mind flashed through scenes from his half-lived life like a man on his deathbed.

He faintly remembered a brief period when he didn’t harbor such deep resentment towards the Liu Family, hoping to have a beautiful and adorable daughter with Liu Huimin.

"Let’s go."

The two officers escorted him towards the courtroom.

Qiao Xi took a deep breath, her voice slightly raw, "Xu Guangyao, do you have any regrets?"

Xu Guangyao’s decrepit figure paused, his voice barely audible, "Regrets..."

Qiao Xi’s eyes reddened.

Her hands clenched into fists, desperately holding back the tears. Beside her, Liu Huimin watched, crying uncontrollably; she couldn’t change her habit of crying easily, her eye sockets were too shallow.

Xu Yunye spoke hoarsely, "The trial is starting, let’s go in."

He reached out, carefully tugging at Qiao Xi’s sleeve, "Shall we?"

Qiao Xi slowly took his long, slender hand and nodded.

Xu Yunye’s eyes blossomed with joy, clear and delighted.

...

At nine in the morning.

Xu Guangyao’s trial officially began.

With conclusive evidence, Xu Guangyao’s defense attorney could only argue for a lesser sentence, trying to mitigate the punishment. But the crimes Xu Guangyao committed were too severe.

Just the incident from twenty-two years ago, swapping the baby girl in an attempt to kill Liu Zongyun and silence him, was grave enough.

Not to mention his attempts to send Li Daming out of the country, instructing Lao Mao to follow and attempt murder.

Among them was also economic crime.

Cumulative punishment was imposed.

A two-hour long process had ended.

The judge’s stern voice echoed, "The court finds the facts clear and the evidence sufficient. The verdict will now be pronounced."

All rise.

Qiao Xi stood, looking at Xu Guangyao in the courtroom; her heart swelled with anguish. The tall man beside her hooked her palm with his finger.

Qiao Xi looked at him, pursed her lips and managed a faint smile.

"The sentencing will now begin!"

"The defendant, Xu Guangyao, for the crime of intentional homicide...is sentenced to life imprisonment, deprived of... The trial is not for revenge but to advocate goodness. The court session is now closed."

The judge’s gavel fell. The trial was concluded.

Xu Guangyao would spend the rest of his life in prison, a notion that was torture for him who had lived a life of luxury.

He was taken away by the bailiffs.

The many wealthy spectators who had come for the spectacle also left.

They whispered among themselves, "Xu Guangyao really can’t handle being kept, can he? How could he do something so atrocious?"

"I heard that Liu Family’s real heiress hasn’t died, and the Liu Family hasn’t found her yet. What does that mean?"

"It probably can’t be made public. Even if she’s not dead, her fate must be awful. Imagine if she was sold into some backwater village becoming an illiterate housewife bearing children for a lazy man; wouldn’t the Liu Family be even more embarrassed?"

"That’s true."

"It’s really sad, she’s the biggest victim here."

Upon hearing their wild gossip, Sun Weimeng scoffed: "What’s it to you! Gossiping behind backs is even more annoying than old ladies. How do you know the Liu Family heiress isn’t living well? What if she’s living exceptionally well!"

He said this while also glancing at Qiao Xi.

On the court, Qiao Xi’s identity had not been revealed at all.

The Liu Family did not dare to expose it, and only a few people in Haicheng guessed Qiao Xi’s identity. Without the Liu Family’s affirmation, no one would bring it up openly.

These ignorant young ones naturally didn’t know the truth.

"Young Master Sun, we’re just talking."

"Young Master Sun, you’re well-informed. Do you know some insider info?"

"Know shit."

Sun Weimeng lifted his leg and kicked their butts, "Hurry up and go back. I have to suck up to Huo Xingzhou. Don’t follow me; only I can suck up to Huo Xingzhou."

"Sun brother is really impressive!"

Sucking up could elevate the Sun Family, now the Tian Family is far behind.

In Haicheng’s real estate, the Sun Family calls the shots.

Sun Weimeng was on cloud nine, squeezing his way to Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi’s side. He was originally intending to speak, but then realized that both Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou were looking at a young man coming out of the court entrance.

Wow!

He couldn’t help exclaiming, "Who is this classy guy?"

Many others were watching too, not knowing who he was, but he looked extraordinarily prestigious. They speculated that this new face must not be a tycoon from Haicheng, likely from somewhere else.

Qiao Xi pursed her red lips and said, "He’s from the Imperial Capital’s Zhong Family."

She had seen Zhong Yi and his assistant Wan Jiang during the trial; they seemed to be meeting quite frequently lately. She was unsure of Young Master Zhong’s intentions.

"So it’s the Zhong Family, no wonder!"

Sun Weimeng was somewhat knowledgeable; the Imperial Capital’s Zhong Family was a prominent power.

His Sun Family couldn’t catch up to them even in eight lifetimes.

As they spoke, the regal young noble approached them.
