CHAPTER 233: CHAPTER 231 I’M NOT A BAD PERSON

Jian Chuxin raised his hand, and his assistant immediately brought in several women.

Jian Xi’s eyes widened instantly when she saw these women.

They were all the "good girlfriends" who had been with Jiang Qimeng at the restaurant that day.

They were also the culprits who had written that stack of false testimony.

"Second Brother, why did you bring them here? I..."

Jian Chuxin gave her a look that said, "Don’t worry, I’ve got this," and Jian Xi, trusting him, held back all the words she wanted to say.

The women looked at Jian Chuxin, their eyes practically sparkling with pink hearts.

Jian Chuxin lifted his chin. "I’m giving you a chance to reform. Just tell the truth, and the law will surely be lenient."

"Yes, yes, yes, we’ll tell everything!"

They scrambled to speak to the police. "I confess! What I did was perjury. Si Junyan forced me to do it."

"I confess too! I was bribed by Si Junyan. He gave me five million and also threatened my dad. If I didn’t do as he said, he would make my family’s company go bankrupt immediately. I was coerced!"

"And me..."

Jian Xi couldn’t help but swallow hard as she looked towards Wan Yu.

Wan Yu was equally shocked.

They had seen the power of an idol before, but this was too much!

Jian Mingcheng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry; he didn’t possess this kind of problem-solving ability.

He had to admit, this second younger brother of his was truly somewhat useful!

According to the final police verification, the testimony was inadmissible, and Jian Xi was free to leave the police station at any time.

After leaving the police station, Jian Xi was still somewhat emotional. "Second Brother, thank goodness you were here."

Wan Yu was close to kneeling in gratitude. "BOO HOO HOO, your timing was just perfect! If it had been any later, Xixi might have ended up jailed, and I would have been a terrible criminal! Did you get back the video?"

Jian Chuxin, slightly embarrassed, brushed his handsome fringe aside. "Actually, it wasn’t me who arrived just in time; it was Si Yuhuan."

Jian Xi felt a jolt in her heart, a tingling sensation.

"When I got off the plane, his assistant Yan Qing brought a maid straight to me. As for the evidence you wanted, it’s already been destroyed." Jian Chuxin spread out his hands. "Si Yuhuan’s suggestion of using a honey trap really worked well. Those women were coaxed and deceived by Yan Qing. And look, they’ve confessed to the mastermind behind it all."

One had to admit, sometimes Si Yuhuan’s mind was truly effective.

"Then we really must thank him," Jian Mingcheng said fairly.

At this moment, Wan Yu practically regarded Si Yuhuan as a god.

Only Jian Xi had mixed feelings.

She had claimed she could take Haohan Group on her own without relying on him, but now she had been proven wrong so quickly. Inside, she felt somewhat let down.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, I’m a bit tired. I’ll go back and rest first."

Jian Chuxin had to deal with business as soon as he returned and had no time to go back to the old family home.

Jian Xi decided to return to Fuyuan Official Residence.

Otherwise, if she went back to the old family home, her mother would inevitably nag her. She had a bit of a headache and needed to sort everything out.

「 」

After freshening up and lying in bed, Jian Xi hesitated for a moment but still made a video call to Si Yuhuan.

This was the first time she had ever initiated a video call with him.

She inexplicably wanted to know where he had gone after he left and what he had been doing.

But the video call rang for a long time without an answer.

Feeling as if her pride and dignity were being trampled into the dust, she gritted her teeth in anger and threw her phone aside.

"Annoying jerk, just go to hell!"

She had her secretary serve Si Junyan with a lawsuit.

Dare to sue her? She’d sue them so hard they wouldn’t have a shirt to their backs!

"Bastards! All damn bastards!"

The baby in her belly seemed to sense her emotional fluctuations. That miraculous feeling of nurturing a small life alleviated Jian Xi’s anxiety and discomfort.

「 」

Si Junyan was summoned for fabricating evidence.

Jian Xi was waiting for the good news of his detention but, as expected, someone else took the blame for him.

Wan Yu picked up the phone and cursed, "That shameless bastard! Does he really think he can do whatever he wants with money? I really want to find a couple of guys to beat him up in the garage until even his own mother wouldn’t recognize him!"

"Don’t act rashly," Jian Xi said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

With Wan Yu’s fiery temper, Jian Xi genuinely feared she might do something foolish.

"Don’t worry, I haven’t lost my mind. I’m just frustrated. Xixi, in the trial tomorrow, you give it to Bing Xin with everything you’ve got! I refuse to believe that woman can be that tight-lipped. As long as she’s willing to confess that Jiang Qimeng was behind it all, we can send her directly to prison from the courtroom. That’ll infuriate that bastard Si Junyan to the point of spitting blood!"

"Okay, I’ll do my best."

Even without Wan Yu’s instructions, she was already fully prepared.

Just then, Jian’s Mother called.

Jian Xi hung up on Wan Yu and answered her call. "Mom..."

"Silly girl, do you still remember I’m your mother? Why haven’t you come back after solving the issue? Am I such an unreasonable person that I would force you to ask a million questions? You kids are all grown up now, with wings of your own. You don’t tell your mother anything. Your Second Brother isn’t home, and now you too..."

"Mom, are you angry at Second Brother? Then I’m really being unfairly implicated," Jian Xi playfully teased Jian’s Mother, coaxing her into laughter.

"You little rascal. Mom will make delicious food for you all tonight. Come back."

As one grew older, one longed for their children to be by their side.

Jian Xi didn’t want to be distracted. She needed to handle this case spectacularly to make Bing Xin implicate Jiang Qimeng, that slippery eel.

"On Monday, we’ll all come back to celebrate your birthday with you."

"Oh! My birthday! Then it’s a deal!"

Jian’s Mother hung up the phone, clearly delighted.

「 」

The day of the trial.

Jian Xi appeared in court as the lawyer. Her statements were powerful and resonant, striking a chord with the jurors and rendering Bing Xin’s lawyer speechless.

In less than forty minutes, she achieved a resounding victory.

The court immediately proclaimed Bing Xin guilty of attempted murder, slander, and harassment; multiple charges were established.

Jian Xi walked over to her. "No need to glare at me so viciously. You should realize your fate is sealed; you’ve been used as a pawn. Otherwise, why aren’t the friends who offered you advice showing up? Just so you know, your lawyer is not one of Beijing’s best, but rather the worst. He likely doesn’t earn more than five thousand yuan per case. Don’t believe me? Ask him."

Bing Xin turned to her defeated lawyer. "Speak up! Tell me, how much do you charge!"

The man staggered in fright, nearly tripping.

His timid demeanor utterly lacked the presence of a top-notch lawyer.

Jian Xi sneered, "Have you still not grasped the situation?"

Clutching her head, Bing Xin looked like she was going mad. "AAAHHH! Why are you doing this to me? I shouldn’t have trusted any of you bastards! Jian Xi, I beg you, let me go. I’ll tell you the whole truth."

Jian Xi raised an eyebrow. "Fine, let’s hear it."

With sobs, Bing Xin confessed, "It was Du Mingrui who set this up. She introduced me to a very beautiful woman who handed me a check for ten million yuan. She told me that as long as I successfully handled your elder brother’s pig-butchering scam case, I could enjoy endless wealth and honor. I admit I was greedy, but I am certainly not a bad person. SOB SOB SOB, I know I was wrong."
