The people in the room vanished immediately. Bai Moliang then pointed at the seat opposite and said, “Please take a seat, Second Young Mistress Huo.”
Yan Jinyi stared at Bai Moliang with raised brows. It was her first time hearing him call her ‘Second Young Mistress Huo’.
Indeed, he was willing to do anything for his sister.
“Let’s get right to the point if you have anything to say. There is no need to beat around the bush.”
Seeing how calm Yan Jinyi was, Bai Moliang felt, for the very first time, that it would be great if Yan Jinyi was his family member.
He had once mentioned that if she wasn’t the Second Young Mistress of the Huo family and not Leng Yuxi’s enemy. He would admire her and even…
“Since you already know what I’m looking for you for, I’ll get straight to the point. Second Young Mistress Huo, as long as you’re willing to withdraw the charges, the Bai family will be willing to pay any price.”
‘Any price?’
After staring closely at Bai Moliang for a long time, Yan Jinyi smiled and said, “Why don’t you kill yourself in front of me? I’ll give it some consideration after you die.”
Hearing those words, Bai Moliang frowned and he suddenly said, “Yan Jinyi, don’t go overboard.”
“Are you panicking already?” Yan Jinyi shrugged and exclaimed, “Didn’t you say that I can put forward any terms? It seems that you don’t love your younger sister as much as the rumors claim!”
‘This woman is really taking an inch when given a mile.’
Very annoying indeed.
“How about one billion? I’ll give you one billion yuan, you just need to withdraw the charges. I know you hate Yuxi, I just don’t want her to die a one billion to die at such a young age. You get a billion yuan will and she will go to jail for decades. Don’t you think that’s a good deal, Miss Yan?”
A billion…
She licked her lips. It was honestly quite tempting. She wasn’t close to Yang Guifang and the Bai family was really powerful. As long as she withdrew the charges, they would definitely be able to save Leng Yuxi’s life.
“But what to do? I want her dead…”
Bai Moliang squinted and said after a long time, “Miss Yan, you should know what Yang Guifang is like too. She has threatened plenty of people when she was alive, you included. Now…”
Before he finished, Yan Jinyi began sobbing. “The Bai family is too overbearing. My grandmother was killed by your younger sister and you actually want me to help your sister get out of trouble!”
“…”
Bai Moliang smirked. It seemed that Yan Jinyi’s solution isn’t going to work.
He suddenly stood up and stared at Yan Jinyi coldly. “Second Young Mistress, you’d better refrain from offending others.”
“That’s none of your business.”
Bai Moliang’s face turned sullen immediately. ‘What a despicable and detestable woman.’
“Second Young Mistress Huo, I’ll see you in court then.”
The two left on an unhappy note. The entire city was paying attention to the case about Leng Yuxi’s murder of Yang Guifang now that the court trial was about to begin.
On the day of the trial, almost all the people of the Huo family and the Bai family arrived, but Chen Yulian and her family were surprisingly absent.
Yan Jinyi moved from the defendant’s seat to the plaintiff’s seat. The Huo family siblings were sitting below and beside her was the Huo Group’s ace lawyer.
“Mr. Bai, I heard that you have other matters to bring up.”
Bai Moliang had a high status and power after all. Hence, the judge was rather scrupulous towards him.
After glancing at Yan Jinyi with an ambiguous gaze, Bai Moliang slowly took out a stack of documents and said, “Two weeks ago, Leng Yuxi was diagnosed with a mental illness. As far as I know, someone with a mental illness will not be charged for killing others.”
Everyone got into an uproar as soon as he said that.
Huo Xishen, who was calm and composed, was completely astonished.
Yan Jinyi gritted her teeth tightly. ‘A bunch of thieves.’
