My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy - Chapter 352

Chapter 352: Chapter 352 Ironclad Evidence _1
He was dressed in prison garb, his hair shorn off, and his chin was covered with a lot of stubble.

He looked extremely haggard, down and out…

But in those eyes, there was still pride, unyielding.

When I looked at him, he was looking at me too.

Within that cold gaze, there was a hint of a smile, mocking, and somewhat playful.

For some reason, even though the court was silent, I thought I heard Gu Yuanzhou speaking to me.

“Ayun, you want me dead, don’t you! I’ll grant your wish!”

But when I looked carefully, I realized his lips were tightly sealed and no sound came out. Was I hallucinating?

I covered my face with my hands and quickly shifted my gaze.

The next part of the trial caught everyone by surprise.

Gu Yuanzhou not only confessed to all the charges, including murder, he didn’t even let his defense attorney take the stage.

My prepared testimony,

and all the documents Su Peisheng had ready to overturn his case, were now invalid.

Actually, I didn’t expect this to happen.

Since he confessed, it became much simpler for everyone.

However, due to the complexity of the case, the court didn’t announce the verdict immediately. The judge said the sentence would be delivered in three days.

Su Peisheng walked me out.

In fact, the one who attracted the most attention was Zhou Chenming. When he appeared, a crowd of reporters surrounded him.

“Lawyer Zhou, why didn’t you defend Mr. Gu’s innocence?”

Zhou Chenming spread his hands in resignation,

“It was the client’s wish! I was simply respecting his decision.”

I watched from afar and was rendered speechless for a moment.

Wenya said, “Hey, what’s the use? It was an ironclad case; he had no chance to overturn it.”

“Let’s go, Wenya!”

There were many reporters on-site, and Su Peisheng was worried that any inappropriate comments from Wenya might be overheard by the opposition and used against us.

So, he hurriedly grabbed Wenya’s hand and led her outside.

I glanced at Zhou Chenming, then turned to follow Su Peisheng and leave the area.

After getting home.

Wenya kept screaming all the way,

“Damn it, we won, we won! We’ve won! This douchebag will never get out again.”

After that, she seemed to be a bit worried, “Su Peisheng, do you think, in this case, Gu Yuanzhou might get off?”

“Get off my ass! Didn’t you see the news report? The main issue is that he confessed to murder. At the very least, he’s facing life imprisonment, and… he also seriously injured two other people. The nature of the crime is extremely severe.”

It was only then that Wenya felt relieved. She patted my shoulder, “Ayun, I think we should take some time to celebrate! There’s no time like the present, let’s do it tonight. I’ll treat everyone, we should celebrate that scumbag rotting in jail.”

“Yeah, sure!”

With that, a weight in my heart finally settled.

I knew that with Su Peisheng’s professionalism, his prediction was almost certain.

From now on, no one in this city would hunt me down again.

In the evening.

Wenya hosted a dinner for us at the Juxing Garden Hotel.

She invited all the friends she should invite, including me and Jian Jing, Su Peisheng, Shen Yishu, as well as Jia Yuyan and Jia Musen, and some old classmates too.

Everyone was drinking and celebrating, having a great time.

In the midst of the festivities, Wenya even showed off her singing talent and sang heartily in front of me.

“Ayun, why don’t you sing a few lines?”

But I wasn’t feeling excited, “I’d better not, I’ve been staying up late these days, and it’s really rough on my throat. You guys go ahead; let me rest for a while.”

“Mm, okay, okay, take a seat!”

Wenya sang a duet with Su Peisheng while I sat on the sofa browsing my phone.

The incident had been very hot recently, with all sorts of short videos and news about it.

These content creators were all analyzing how many years Gu Yuanzhou would be sentenced.

I don’t know why, but when I saw these videos, I felt a bit anxious.

After watching for a while, I simply turned it off.

Seeing me somewhat bored, Shen Yishu brought over a deck of playing cards and pulled over Jia Yuyan, and a few of us started playing the card game ‘Fight the Landlord’.

Wenya’s idea was that the more people, the merrier…

We were eating and drinking, and it was indeed very relaxing.

I wasn’t skilled in card games and kept losing at first.

Later, Shen Yishu kept letting me win, and I also won several times, my smile gradually becoming more radiant.

“Xiaoyun, if you ever run into any difficulties, you have to tell me! I may not be able to help much, but I can be your listener.”

Jia Yuyan gave him a push, “What are you thinking, Little President Shen. President Ding will be back soon, so quit stirring things up here.”

Disappointment was evident on Shen Yishu’s face, “Really? Is President Ding really going to be all right?”

I looked at him and smiled, “Mm, he’s recovering really well, and he’ll be back within three months.”

Shen Yishu’s smile was tinged with loss, “That’s good, that’s good. Once he’s back, you won’t have to suffer so much.”

Wenya had originally planned to have everyone play all night, but unexpectedly, around ten o’clock, Jian Jing suddenly felt pain in her stomach, and her water broke.

We had to wrap things up in a hurry and took Jian Jing to the nearby hospital to give birth.

Previously, Yu Jiahang had refused to pay for the postnatal care center, claiming that thirty thousand a month for the care center was too expensive and wanted to take Jian Jing and her daughter back home to stay.

But I knew that Jian Jing’s relationship with Yu Jiahang’s mother was bad, and if Jian Jing went home, she would definitely suffer. So, I paid for it, and after she gave birth, she went straight to the postnatal care center. Wenya and I took turns visiting after work.

The newly born baby was fair and clean and extremely cute; I often held her, not willing to let go.

Deep down, I really missed my two little ones.

Whenever I thought of my children, Gu Yuanzhou would come to mind.

This man who took my breath away.

That afternoon, I had just left the postnatal care center when I happened to run into Su Peisheng.

Su Peisheng came with Wenya; it looked like they were specifically looking for me, and I knew the day had finally come.

The thing about the court’s judgment—

It’s definitely internal documents first, then the announcement the next day.

Su Peisheng was a lawyer, so he must have known the result first.

“Just tell me!”

Though I was looking forward to it, I was quite calm at the moment.

Wenya and Su Peisheng exchanged glances.

“Uh, Ayun, you need to be prepared for this.”

It was the first time I ever heard Wenya speak so cautiously.

I laughed, “What, Gu Yuanzhou is going to escape from prison or something? Don’t worry, I just held Jian Jing’s daughter. I’m very strong right now after being healed. Go ahead, tell me. I can accept any outcome.”

In fact, these past few days, I might have seen too much speculation in the news, and everyone was stuck on whether it would be thirty years or life in prison.

Either of those two outcomes, I had come to accept, and I had prepared myself.

“Uh, sure, Gu Yuanzhou is a scumbag, and that sort of man less than a pig or dog deserves the death penalty.”

At those words, I was dumbstruck and grabbed Wenya’s hand, “What did you say? Death penalty?”

“Yes, that’s right… the death penalty!” Su Peisheng immediately added.
