Chapter 769: Blatant Frame-up
Outside the door, Cai Yan had been carefully observing the situation in the conference room. When the time on his pocket watch passed the hour, he breathed a sigh of relief and slowly closed the door.
The sound of the lock being locked seemed like a signal. The moment the door closed tightly, everyone settled into their roles.
Sun Zhen, about fifty years old, with a meticulously styled hairstyle and rimless glasses, looked at Yu Sheng with a sharp and calm gaze. "Ms. Yu, I'm the senior prosecutor in charge of this evidence collection. My name is Sun Zhen, and I've been appointed by the Supreme Court of Country A to file a case for you against Yu Siwen for short selling and collaborating with the enemy."
Before taking evidence, I must solemnly and clearly inform you that you have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will be used as evidence in court. You have the right to request the presence of an attorney and the right to interrupt the interrogation and communicate with your attorney at any time you deem necessary. Do you understand?
His voice was steady and cold, without any personal emotion, as if he was reading out a pre-set procedure.
"Understood. My lawyer is here, we can start." Yu Sheng nodded slightly, his posture calm.
Sun Zhen nodded, his eyes sweeping over Attorney Chen and the two overly young and unfamiliar "assistants" behind him. He didn't know why, but he felt like they looked familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before.
However, now is not the time to worry about this matter.
Sun Zhen flipped open the file in front of him. "First, we need to confirm some basic facts. At 2025:8 AM on August 28, 9, you illegally hacked into Country A's official media feed and filed a real-name report to the Supreme People's Procuratorate, accusing your father, the current president, Yu Siwen, of suspected illegal fund transfers through offshore accounts and secret dealings with sanctioned foreign forces, accusing him of 'short selling and collaborating with the enemy.' Do you acknowledge that you signed and submitted this report?"
Yu Sheng has learned a lot from following Yu Siwen over the past few years. The man in front of him deliberately emphasized the words "illegal means", which clearly shows that he has bad intentions.
She nodded, her eyes sharpening a little, "I admit it."
Sun Zhen ignored Yu Sheng's anger and went straight to the point: "The evidence you submitted includes several screenshots of bank statements and a copy of the Supplementary Agreement. Where does this evidence come from..."
Lawyer Chen intervened at the right time: "Mr. Prosecutor, regarding the specific source and method of obtaining evidence, this involves the security of my client's personal information and possible subsequent risks. At this stage, we suggest..."
Sun Zhen looked slightly dissatisfied and glared at Lawyer Chen. "This is the police headquarters. Miss Yu's safety is no longer a concern. The prosecution needs to know the source of the evidence to provide additional evidence."
Yu Sheng: "I refuse to answer. If the judiciary wants to obtain evidence, it is more effective to directly verify the truth of the evidence."
Sun Zhen was stunned, as if he didn't expect Yu Sheng to be so decisive.
It is not a good thing for the parties to confront the prosecutor.
"Ms. Yu." At this moment, Deng Chengxian, who had been silent until then, suddenly chuckled. "Ms. Yu, we understand that your relationship with your father has been quite strained in recent years, especially regarding your choice of marriage. Do you think these family conflicts have affected your judgment of certain information, or... your motivation for providing evidence?"
The man's tone sounded casual, yet it was sharp as a needle.
Jiang Huashan rolled his eyes at the fat man, propped his chin with one hand, nudged Shen Lanxi with his elbow, and asked almost in a whisper, "Who does he belong to?"
The pile of information was too thick, with layers of relationships stacked up on top of each other, making her dizzy, so she simply handed it to Shen Lanxi. Now was the time for her strongest brain to come in handy.
She approached without warning, her breath caressing her eardrums. Shen Lanxi expressionlessly suppressed the panic in her eyes, slightly tilted her body, and whispered, "The Deng family is a prominent clan in Beiwan, and they belong to the Zhou family."
"Oh~" Jiang Huashan nodded and moved closer. "What about Sun Zhen?"
Shen Lanxi's waist was stiff, and she looked at her with deep eyes. Seeing that her eyes were fixed on the two people opposite, she lowered her head almost to her earlobe and said in a very soft voice: "Yu Siwen."
What arrived before the words themselves was a warm and tingling breath.
Jiang Huashan was completely absorbed in the battlefield before her, trying to unravel this complex web of relationships. Suddenly, she felt as if the tip of her ear had been struck by a tiny electric current, sending a strange tingling sensation straight into her cerebral cortex. She instinctively covered her ears and abruptly turned her head to look to her side.
Just like that, she bumped into a pair of eyes that were very close to her.
Shen Lanxi did not step back, still maintaining that extremely close distance, staring at her with a serious gaze.
At this moment, the distance between the two of them was so close that their noses almost touched, and their breaths suddenly intertwined in the small space.
The verbal battles in the conference room, the prosecutor's questioning, Lawyer Chen's cautious maneuvering... all the background sounds faded away like the tide, blurring into distant noises.
Time seems to be infinitely stretched and stagnant at this moment.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Suddenly, a hysterical roar broke the delicate atmosphere between the two.
Jiang Huashan was startled by the roar. At this moment, he didn't care why Shen Lanxi was so abnormal. He turned to look at Yu Sheng in front of him.
Yu Sheng had already stood up and pointed at the fat and thin men across from him: "There is absolutely no problem with the account I provided. The problem is you!!!"
Lawyer Chen's expression changed slightly, and he immediately stood up and grabbed Yu Sheng, "Calm down first, don't let the other party provoke you."
Deng Chengxian immediately shed his mask of gentleness and said coldly, "Yu Sheng, are you questioning judicial justice? The overseas accounts you provided have already been deciphered by our technical team colleagues.
The funds remitted to those accounts were indeed transferred to Yu Siwen's name, but after several rounds of laundering, they returned to the original source. We have already checked, and the key instructions and authorization keys used to process these fund repatriation operations, as well as the IP address and biometric verification that were ultimately traced, all point to you!
"Does Miss Yu have anything to explain about this?"
"..."
