Chu Xiaozhong, Kong Wing-yan, and Song Tianyao all stared blankly at the Second Young Master Chu, who was now speaking righteously and angrily.
The fact that he could say such shameless things as dedicating himself to charity with such a righteous expression made Song Tianyao sigh. Even if his boss's business skills were not yet mature, he would become a qualified businessman sooner or later because his talent had already been shown.
To lie through one's teeth is definitely a product of Chu Yaozong's genes.
Previously, including Customs Department staff and British Forces in Hong Kong who appeared in the photos, all of whom had testified in court, the prosecution requested that witnesses be summoned again. Song Tianyao sat up slightly and unconsciously loosened his tie, turning his head to look towards the entrance of the courtroom.
This time, it should be Zhang Yuliang steps forward.
Noticing Song Tianyao's actions, Chu Xiaozhong asked, "What's going on? Why so formal?"
"Chairman Chu said he would help the Zhang Family." Song Tianyao said something that Chu Xiaozhong didn't understand. At this moment, Zhang Yuliang walked in easily, accompanied by two bailiffs. He looked calmly at Zhang Yujie in the defendant's seat opposite him, and then turned to look at Zhang Yuqi, Zhang Yulin and others in the scene, and smiled and greeted them.
Upon seeing Zhang Yuliang's appearance, Chu Xiaozhong stopped paying attention to Song Tianyao's words and, like everyone else present, looked at Zhang Yuliang, waiting to see the grand drama of brotherhood and feud officially begin.
Just as Zhang Yuliang was passing through the passage in front of the Zhang Family, Ding Jiafeng, who was sitting in the first row, suddenly jumped down from his seat, a dagger in his hand. Before anyone could react, he grabbed Zhang Yuliang's shoulder with his left hand, exposing his chest, and plunged the dagger into Zhang Yuliang's heart with his right hand!
He stabbed in once, then immediately pulled out, and then quickly added a second stab!
Ding Jiafeng then calmly released Zhang Yuliang, leaving Zhang Yuliang clutching the extra wound on his heart in disbelief, staggering as he tried to look towards Zhang Yuqi in the stands!
Zhang Yuqi looked at Zhang Yujie in disbelief, while Zhang Yujie looked at Zhang Yuliang, who was lying in the courtroom aisle and was clearly beyond saving, with the same expression.
Although the three brothers were standing in different positions, at this moment, their eyes and expressions were as if they were one!
It wasn't until Ding Jiafeng pulled out his dagger and released Zhang Yuliang that the two bailiffs came to their senses and tackled him to the ground. Ding Jiafeng offered no resistance, dropped the dagger, and allowed himself to be subdued by the bailiffs who pounced on him.
A bailiff knelt on the ground to examine Zhang Yuliang's wounds, but before he could even perform Zhang Yuliang, he straightened up and shook his head regretfully at his colleague. "The witness has no heartbeat; he's dead."
A murder occurred during the court hearing, and a witness was shot dead on the spot. The trial could not continue, and the Chief Justice immediately announced a postponement. The defendant, Zhang Yujie, remained in custody. Due to the murder of the key witness, Zhang Yuliang, in court, the defendant was considered the prime suspect and was suspected of hiring someone to murder the witness. The defendant was transferred from the police station to Victoria Prison for temporary detention. Lawyers were required to have police officers present for visits, could not sign guarantees, and were not allowed to seek medical treatment at will. Medical treatment had to be conducted under police supervision.
The judge and jury left the courtroom, and bailiffs escorted Zhang Yujie out. Zhang Yujie turned sharply back to Zhang Yuqi, who stood dumbfounded in the stands. "Well done!"
At this moment, Zhang Yuqi didn't even look at Zhang Yujie, but stared at Zhang Yuliang, who was being carried onto a stretcher by the bailiffs.
Zhang Yulin, who was standing next to her, was so frightened by what had just happened that he slumped into his seat. The two women were pale with fright, and Wei Jiafei was covered in sweat, trembling as if she were in the dead of winter.
The bailiffs urged the people watching the trial to leave the courtroom in an orderly manner. Chu Xiaozhong and Chu Xiaoxin were also somewhat horrified by Zhang Yuliang's sudden murder. They silently followed the crowd out of the courthouse until they were outside, saw the clear blue sky, and took a few breaths of air, after which their expressions softened slightly.
Chu Xiaoxin gazed at the old Shaman Woman still diligently slapping effigies on the street in the distance, and asked Song Tianyao in a somewhat unnatural tone, "Does it have to be this effective? I had the Shaman Woman slap effigies to curse those two, and Zhang Yuliang really was killed, Zhang Yujie is a murderer? The two brothers got their retribution so quickly?"
"Maybe so. Who can say for sure about these things?" Song Tianyao sighed with a hint of melancholy. "When I saw Zhang Yuliang yesterday, that guy even said he'd like to play another round with me when the opportunity arises."
Chu Xiaozhong, Chu Xiaoxin, and Kong Wing-yan all got into Song Tianyao's Ford 49 without prior arrangement. This made Rotten-Life Ju was originally accompanying Song Tianyao, very awkward. He couldn't squeeze in with the woman and the two Young Master of the Chu Family, so he could only sit in the Rolls-Royce that followed behind Chu Xiaozhong with the equally awkward Chan Ah-sap, enjoying a more luxurious treatment than the two Young Master of the Chu Family.
"Currently, the most suspicious person in Zhang Yuliang's death is Zhang Yujie, but the one who actually benefited the most is clearly Zhang Yuqi. Was he the one who did it?" Chu Xiaoxin sat in the passenger seat, pondering for a long time before asking Song Tianyao and Chu Xiaozhong uncertainly.
Song Tianyao gripped the steering wheel, his eyes fixed straight ahead. "That's right, Zhang Yuqi will benefit the most, but it's a bit premature to say that. We'll have to see how he reacts next."
"What was the reaction?" Chu Xiaozhong remained silent until Song Tianyao spoke, then he straightened up slightly from the back seat and looked at Song Tianyao in the rearview mirror to ask.
Song Tianyao noticed that Chu Xiaozhong's expression was somewhat abnormal and smiled, saying, "It's simple. It depends on whether he chooses to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor, do his utmost to save Zhang Yujie, and confess his innocence to Zhang Yujie, or take the opportunity to completely eliminate Zhang Yujie and usurp the throne. If he chooses the first path, even if he saves Zhang Yujie and Zhang Yujie is acquitted or finishes his sentence, he will never trust him as before. Bloodshed between brothers can't be erased no matter how much you try to cover it up. If Zhang Yujie continues to lead the Zhang Family, Zhang Yuqi and Zhang Yulin won't die, but they'll likely be exiled to remote, impoverished areas with no chance of recovery. The second path, if Zhang Yuqi wants to completely take over the Zhang Family and become the head of the family, the first thing he needs to do is eliminate his elder brother, Zhang Yujie. One option is for him to die, the other for his elder brother to die—a choice between the two."
