"I don't know you!" At this moment, Su Kaiming could only deny it. Who the hell was Xu Liang? He had been shot in the heart but still managed to survive!
It seemed that Xu Liang was completely disheartened this time. He turned to the judge and said, "Your Honor, my name is Xu Liang. I'm an employee under the Su Corporation."
"No, he isn't!"
Knock, knock, knock—
The judge frowned slightly and rapped the table, signaling Su Kaiming to be quiet. Since the witness had come forward, it was, of course, the witness's turn to speak. "Xu Liang, go ahead."
"It's like this..." Xu Liang took a deep breath to calm himself. "On the 14th of last month, the chairman suddenly approached me and said he would give me a large sum of money if I could do something for him... I agreed at first, but what the chairman asked me to do was to steal the confidential documents of the Su Corporation. I refused at first."
At this point, Su Kaiming couldn't help interrupting again, his face contorted in a ferocious manner. "You're lying! Who the hell asked you to do anything? Don't slander me!"
Knock, knock, knock—
The court police grabbed the agitated Su Kaiming. The judge's face also turned serious. "Su Kaiming, please keep quiet and let the witness speak."
When the courtroom fell silent, Xu Liang continued, "Chairman, it's useless for you to dodge. You were the one who asked me to steal the confidential documents, and it was also you who asked me to forge the general manager's fingerprints."
"I didn't!" Su Kaiming roared.
Xu Liang pointed at the frozen figure on the video. "That person is me!"
"He's lying! He's just an accomplice hired by Su Yuze!" Su Kaiming shouted angrily. "He wants to frame me!"
"Chairman, why don't you mention the fact that you sent someone to kill me?" Xu Liang's emotions also became a bit agitated. "I'm in this state because of you! You can deny me with just one word. Am I not a human being?"
Su Kaiming was stunned by Xu Liang's words. But for the sake of the Su Corporation, he still said, "I've said it before. I don't know you!"
"Heh..." Xu Liang let out a bitter laugh and then started coughing. "Cough! Your Honor, I swear on my half - life that every word I've said is true. If there's a single lie, I'll be struck by lightning!"
Xu Liang's eyes were very serious. His already pale face looked a bit scary when he was so serious.
Seeing that Xu Liang's complexion was not good, Su Yuze called a few doctors who were standing by. They immediately began to check Xu Liang's body in a well - trained manner. "Breathe slowly. Don't be too hasty!"
"Your blood pressure is a bit high. Don't get excited. Please don't get excited!"
Finally, since Xu Liang's physical condition was really not optimistic, he was carried away by the doctors. Su Yuze looked at the judge. "Your Honor, won't you believe a man who has just escaped death?"
Su Kaiming was still denying it on the side. "No, he's not one of mine. I don't know him!" However, such an explanation seemed so feeble.
The judge's face became clear. Having been a judge for so long, he surely had his own judgment on the truth of the matter. He now knew who was right and who was wrong.
The judge rapped the table again and said seriously, "Alright, I've got it."
Su Kaiming wanted to say something else, but was stopped by the court police beside him. Then they heard the judge say, "The jury has reached a verdict. Su Kaiming, you framed your younger brother and are also guilty of intentional injury. You're sentenced to five years in prison."
"What?" Before Su Kaiming could say anything, Liu Rulan exploded. Five years in prison? "Why?"
The judge looked at her as if she were a fool. "Isn't attempted murder a serious enough crime? If Xu Liang had died, he would have gotten more than five years."
At this moment, Su Yue heaved a long sigh of relief. His injustice had finally been cleared. Looking at Su Kaiming's surprised expression, this was just what he deserved!
"Plaintiff, do you have anything to say?" the judge asked. After all, Su Yue was Su Kaiming's younger brother. If he could plead for mercy or even withdraw the lawsuit, the sentence could be reduced.
Su Kaiming looked at Su Yue, signaling him with his eyes to say something.
But Su Yue didn't even look at him. "I've got nothing to say." If Su Kaiming could do such things, so could he!
Liu Rulan jumped out at this moment and rushed towards Su Yue, trying to grab him. "What do you mean? How could you do this? He's your elder brother! How can he survive five years in prison?"
Qian Yingnan also walked up from the spectator stand at this time and stopped Liu Rulan's agitated figure. "Sister - in - law, when elder brother framed Su Yue before, why didn't you say he was your younger brother?"
In fact, people were selfish. When they framed others before, they didn't even regard Su Yue as a younger brother. But now that their deeds were exposed, they expected others to consider the brotherly affection. Wasn't this just asking for trouble?
"You..."
Since the plaintiff had nothing to say, the judge had nothing more to say either. He directly declared the end of the trial!
Su Kaiming was taken away by the court police. Liu Rulan followed behind, desperately grabbing the court police's clothes, not letting them take Su Kaiming away. The court police were very helpless. They didn't know whether to go or not. If they forced their way out, Liu Rulan would be dragged along and might get injured. But if they didn't go... it would be hard to explain.
When Su Kaiming passed by Su Yue, his face was cold. "Su Yue, you're really capable!"
"Hehe, elder brother, so are you!" Su Yue retorted. It was Su Kaiming who had been the first to be unkind, so he was just being unrighteous in return!
"Do you think you'll finally get the Su Corporation?" Su Kaiming said in a voice that only the two of them could hear. "It's impossible for you to control Yuze."
Su Yue frowned. Was Su Kaiming just being a sore loser? "Thank you for your concern, elder brother."
Su Kaiming was taken away by the court police. Liu Rulan followed behind, crying her heart out.
Su Yue walked from the plaintiff's seat towards Su Yuze and reached out his hand to pat his shoulder. "Yuze, thank you!"
Su Yuze looked at the hand on his shoulder and subtly dodged it. "I'll leave first."
"Um... wait. Our family would like to invite you and Xiaorou to dinner." They could also talk about the takeover of the Su Corporation later.
Qian Yingnan also looked at him eagerly from behind. "Yes, it's been a long time since we had a meal together." Moreover, now that Su Kaiming had been brought down, it was really a great day!
Su Rou was sitting quietly in the spectator stand, patiently waiting for him. Su Yuze's eyes softened immediately. "No, thanks. I'm taking Xiaorou home."
