My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy - Chapter 351

Chapter 351: Chapter 351: His Performance at the Trial Was Unexpected_1
I shook my head, “No matter what’s on her mind, as long as it could cure Ding Yinuo, I don’t mind.”

By the time I finished talking with Wenya, she had already walked out dragging her suitcase, smiling at me,

“You don’t mind if I take a few of Ding Yinuo’s medical books, do you?”

“Here are his clothes, let me know if you need anything else!”

“No, that’s all, I must go now!”

Jiang Jiaying didn’t linger, took two suitcases, and left.

Wenya watched her leave, shaking her head,

“I always feel there’s a strong scent of ‘green tea’ about her!”

“Let her be! All I hope for is Ding Yinuo’s recovery.”

Actually, I had no more demands; as long as Ding Yinuo could wake up, I was willing to trade even my life, so I had no right to expect too much from others.

Soon after, Shen Yishu came over as well.

“I heard you have a court hearing today; I’m here to cheer you on!”

Seeing the encouragement on this man’s face made me smile,

“No way! You all came… it makes me a bit nervous, though it’s not a big deal. It’s just a court appearance, and it’s not me being judged.”

“Yeah, yeah, don’t be nervous, I just want to tell you that whatever the situation, you still have me!”

Shen Yishu’s words were indeed warming.

Well, the more people, the greater the strength. The more friends I have supporting me, the more confident I feel.

After resting another ten minutes, Su Peisheng finally gave the order to set off.

Unexpectedly, the case had attracted immense attention.

Our car hadn’t even reached the courthouse when we saw, from a distance, a throng of journalists surrounding the entrance, not a gap in sight.

“Wow, so many people! We can’t even drive through.”

Wenya protested loudly.

Among them, there were people on the road holding banners, demanding severe punishment for the perpetrator.

“Of course there are many people; otherwise, why would those higher up pay so much attention? It’s been trending daily and has already sparked public outcry.”

“We can’t get through with the car; park it at the shopping center’s parking lot up front, and we’ll walk the rest of the way.”

“Okay!”

We took a detour and parked our car in the underground parking lot of the shopping center opposite the courthouse.

Afterward, I followed behind Su Peisheng from the parking lot towards the courthouse.

To avoid drawing attention, I had deliberately put on sunglasses and a mask.

But unexpectedly, as soon as we reached the main entrance of the courthouse, I was still recognized by a group of journalists.

They immediately surrounded me, wanting to interview me.

“Miss Song, I heard you were the only eyewitness that day, did you really see Gu Yuanzhou commit the crime?”

“Miss Song, I heard that you had a rumor with Gu Yuanzhou on the internet before, are you in a romantic relationship? Will this relationship affect your testimony?”

“Miss Song, were you out on a date with Gu Xuanzhou that night? What were you doing when the crime occurred?”

Various pointed questions were raised by the journalists.

I remained silent, not uttering a word.

Su Peisheng stepped in front of me, dealing with the reporters,

“Ladies and gentlemen, nothing to disclose, please remain calm and watch the news coverage after the hearing is over.”

I thought to myself, luckily I had Su Peisheng and Wenya with me today. Alone, I wouldn’t have had any way to squeeze through the crowd.

These people were too terrifying.

We finally squeezed in from the outside.

Police officers were on duty at the courthouse entrance, keeping the unrelated people outside.

Once inside, you could feel the solemn atmosphere.

Su Peisheng took me to a waiting room inside,

“Sit here for a while, drink some water, the hearing starts in ten minutes.”

I took a small sip of water and asked,

“Has Gu Yuanzhou been brought over?”

“He’s here, but I advise you not to see him right now. If it’s not necessary, you shouldn’t even contact his lawyer!”

“I know, I’ll listen to you!”

After drinking the water, I felt a bit nervous, so I went to the restroom.

When I came out of the restroom, I unexpectedly ran into Zhou Chenming.

I knew he was Gu Yuanzhou’s defense attorney.

I had even thought he would come to find me.

But to my surprise, he just stood far away and glanced at me, then turned around and left without saying a word.

Wenya was the one who got nervous, she rushed over almost at a jog, grabbed me, and said, “Don’t talk to him, no matter what.”

“He ignored me, he’s gone!”

“Yes, indeed, maybe he didn’t see you?”

“Who knows, forget it! Let’s go!”

“Okay!”

I returned to the waiting room and after a few minutes, Su Peisheng came over.

“You can go now! Let’s go!”

“All right!”

I followed Su Peisheng, feeling mostly composed and calm inside.

Ever since the day of the fire, I had been looking forward to seeing Gu Yuanzhou on the defendant’s bench.

To have that scumbag face the judge’s trial.

To make him pay the price.

Wenya was still comforting me, “Don’t be nervous, it’s okay, if you don’t want to talk, try not to say a word. Later in the courtroom, avoid any eye contact with Gu Yuanzhou, don’t look at him, understand?”

“I know, Wenya, I’m okay!”

As I approached the door to the courtroom, I paused for a few seconds.

It seemed like I was giving myself one final pep talk before stepping inside.

I was walking beside Su Peisheng. I didn’t need to look up; as soon as I entered, I could feel a pair of sharp eyes fixating on me from a corner.

I knew it was Gu Yuanzhou!

I didn’t look at him!

Since it was not my turn yet to give testimony, I sat quietly on a side seat in the courtroom.

Su Peisheng was worried I might get nervous, and occasionally he leaned in to whisper a few words to me.

It wasn’t until the judge walked in that the session truly began.

First, the police described the events at the crime scene that day. These had been pre-drafted in documents, so they simply followed the script.

I had already seen Su Peisheng’s documents and listened quietly.

Throughout this time, I still remembered Wenya’s words and didn’t look at Gu Yuanzhou once.

Even as I kept my head down, I could still feel his intense gaze locked on me without wavering.

Soon, it was the judge’s turn to inquire,

“Gu Yuanzhou, regarding the incident on the night of October fifth at the Lakeside Hotel, where you deliberately stabbed Song Siwen to death with a fruit knife and wounded Xu, Zhang, and others, do you have anything to say?”

According to the script Su Peisheng had provided me earlier, Gu Yuanzhou should have been denying the facts here, claiming self-defense.

But to my surprise, instead of defending himself, he simply admitted,

“Yes!”

Gu Yuanzhou’s response shocked everyone in the courtroom.

He actually confessed to the murder!

I also subconsciously raised my head to look at him.

At that moment, I felt like I couldn’t recognize him anymore.
