1819 What Goes Around Comes Around!
The detention center staff brought Jian Xianrou out ten minutes before the trial began.
There was a commotion in the jury box in the stands as soon as she came out. The Jiang family relatives almost didn't recognize her in her sorry state.
"How did Xianrou become so thin?" someone among them asked.
His uncle said in a low voice, "She's been in the detention center all this time. How can the detention center be a good place? She definitely wasn't able to eat or sleep well."
"What a pity."
Some people were feeling regretful.
More people were lamenting.
The second branch was incomparably glorious when they first separated from the family. Who knew they would become like this in the blink of an eye? Jian Xianrou stood on the court stage in a sorry state. What goes around comes around!
"Where's Qiao Nian? Isn't she coming?" someone asked when it was about time, craning his neck to look for her; he only mustered his courage when he didn't see that arrogant figure.
This time, all the relatives of the Jiang family had learned their lesson. They looked at each other, and no one dared to speak nonsense.
Even Yuan Qing, who usually liked to put on airs as an elder, shrank her neck and pretended not to hear him.
The other relatives were present. No one said anything, so they quietened down.
…
At the same time, on the other side of the jury stand.
He Congming sat in the first seat in the first row. Beside him were a few subordinates.
It seemed that victory was in the He family's hands this time.
He should be the biggest winner.
However, He Congming could not sit still. Like the people from the Jiang family, he paid attention to anyone who entered the court.
The trial was about to begin.
He Congming glanced at his watch and pulled down his sleeves, then asked irritably, "She's not here yet?"
The burly man beside him immediately lowered his head and replied in a low voice, "No, I've been watching. I didn't see Miss Qiao."
"Don't tell me she won't come?" He Congming was a little annoyed.
Brother Biao couldn't answer and didn't dare to speak nonsense.
He Congming frowned again, feeling distraught. "If she doesn't come, it'll be even harder for us to make her relent when Jiang Xianrou's sentenced.
"I don't care how many years she'll be sentenced to now.
"I just want to solve the problem of those goods and the power that's targeting us… Otherwise, if this continues, we won't even know if we will be finished!"
Brother Biao could not reply for a moment and fell silent.
At that time, he had advised his brother not to implicate Elder Jiang. He had told him to leave a way out for everyone.
Eldest Brother refused to listen to him. He stubbornly believed that the Jiang family did not have the ability or the guts to fight with them.
Who the f*ck knew that Qiao Nian's background was so strong? The He family was about to be killed by her in the blink of an eye! Moreover, she refused to reconcile with them… There was no way to resolve this matter!
Time passed second by second. In the blink of an eye, there were only five minutes left before the trial began.
Both the judge and the jury judge were present and making preparations for the trial.
He Congming couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and looked back at the entrance of the court. Just as he was feeling anxious, he suddenly saw a tall and thin figure walk in…
"Qiao Nian." He Congming heaved a sigh of relief. Unable to suppress his excitement, he lowered his voice and said to Brother Biao.
Brother Biao quickly turned around and looked in the direction he was looking.
As expected, he saw an arrogant girl in black with a cap on her head at the entrance with her hands in her pockets.
