Chapter 23: Saving the Autistic Teen 23

Mentioning Chen Jiang's name, Ji Yu felt a wave of disgust, frowning uncomfortably.

Don't mention him.

Song Qian: "You know, today your father and Bei Tai together intend to seize you and offer you as his lover."

Ji Yu nodded, so he wanted to flee desperately, but he didn't expect Chen Jiang to chase after him again.

"No matter who you are sent to, you will inevitably suffer torment," Song Qian began to get to the point, her tone gently persuasive, "It would be better to make yourself someone who can protect yourself."

Ji Yu turned his head doubtfully and met her gaze, "What does that mean?"

"Your uncle Jin wants to regain control of the Jin clan, Jin Chen, so an accident must happen."

Song Qian bit the three words "accident" extremely hard, and her eyes flashed with ruthlessness.

"We can't control Jin Chen, but you and Ji Yan are indeed related by blood and somewhat similar; after drugging Jin Chen, you cling to him and move into the Jin family, then look for a chance to kill him."

Ji Yu widened his eyes, face full of disbelief, almost laughing in anger at Song Qian.

"You want me to be the killer?"

"He's just an accident; where would a killer come from? Once we obtain the Jin clan, you can start over with a fresh identity and continue as the Young Master, and Chen Jiang and Bei Tai will have to watch your expression."

Song Qian tidied his blanket, her tone light and breezy, "Little Yu, do you still care who you sleep with?"

Ji Yu looked at his ruthless mother and suddenly laughed.

"Yeah, anyway it's already like this; sleeping with someone isn't a big deal."

"No matter what, it won't be worse than the current situation."

"Better to give it a shot."

"Okay, I agree."

——

A few days later.

Ji Weixue looked at the documents because people kept withdrawing investment, his face turned ashen.

Ji Yan knew his mother's death was his own doing, he would certainly not be persuaded again; Ji Yu, this useless thing, is just as promiscuous as his mother.

"He actually has no one who can help him; they're all a bunch of worthless ingrates!"

He threw the documents on the floor, his mind full of how to save the company; during this period, Chen Jiang and Jin Chen's overt and covert suppression of the company has left him utterly exhausted.

Ding ling ling……

The phone ringtone suddenly sounded; Ji Weixue answered with patience, and his expression immediately changed as he stood up.

He paced back and forth anxiously in his study; everyone who knew about this back then had been sent away by him from A City, and after so many years, it's impossible for any evidence to remain.

Even if Ji Yan sued, it's just relying on Jin Chen being willing to cause trouble with him; they definitely have no evidence!

Ji Weixue thought it over, felt much more relieved, and quickly contacted a lawyer.

Meanwhile, at the Jin Family villa.

Jin Chen learned that the lawsuit had succeeded, understanding that the lawyer and Liu Qiang had already obtained considerable evidence.

He told this to Ji Yan; the boy indeed became very happy, then his eyes reddened again.

Over these many years, he himself hadn't not thought of seeking evidence to avenge his mother, but he was confined by Ji Yu in the Ji family, what evidence could he obtain?

After meeting Jin Chen, everything had him safeguarding her; her personal matters were resolved one by one, and the feeling of being loved was truly wonderful.

Ji Yan nestled into Jin Chen's embrace, his cheeks sticky as he rested against Jin Chen's neck, his emotions complex—perhaps because his mother could finally rest in peace, or perhaps his own moved feelings were acting up, making him want to cry terribly.

But A Chen had said he didn't like seeing himself cry.

"Let me see, sweetheart, are you secretly shedding tears again?"

Jin Chen tried to lift him from his embrace, but Ji Yan tightly wrapped his arms around his neck, refusing to get up, acting spoiled.

"The day after tomorrow is the court date; sweetheart, do you need to provide eyewitness testimony?"

Jin Chen thought it over, then still asked Ji Yan's opinion.

Even if the lawyer ensured that the current evidence was sufficient to indict Ji Weixue.

"I want to go, I want to go."

Ji Yan lifted his head, his tone unprecedentedly firm, "I want to watch Ji Weixue admit it."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Jin Chen saw the boy's red-nosed crying appearance, chuckled and pinched his cheek, "You're crying like a little flower cat."

"It's a pity the travel plans keep being delayed; now we have to wait until you finish your art exhibition before we can leave."

Ji Yan didn't quite understand why Jin Chen was so obsessed with travel; he burrowed back into the embrace that made him feel completely at ease, continuing to watch TV.

Two days later.

A City Supreme People's Court.

Ji Weixue seemed fully prepared, striding in arrogantly, the lawyer following behind him, his expression somewhat helpless.

In the plaintiff's bench, Jin Chen and Ji Yan didn't even glance at Ji Weixue.

After the court clerk confirmed everyone was present, the presiding judge declared the court open.

During the court debate segment, the defense lawyer, who originally had little confidence, upon hearing the prosecutor's series of evidence, his face darkened several shades.

Ji Weixue wasn't saying the other side had no evidence!

The opposing evidence was just short of directly reenacting the crime scene from back then!

Ji Weixue felt increasingly shocked and terrified as he listened; he didn't know how Jin Chen could know these things, even the former nanny and the destroyed surveillance had been found!

Moreover, there was evidence of his own infidelity! That evidence of infidelity discovered by Ji Yan's mother! Wasn't it locked by himself in the study!

The presiding judge looked at Ji Weixue, "Now please have the defendant and the defense counsel speak."

Defense lawyer: "……"

He for the first time wished he were mute.

Good professional competence made him force himself to speak, but every point was refuted by the plaintiff's lawyer with solid reasoning.

Finally, he simply said, "The rest will be continued by my client."

Ji Weixue's legs went weak; he couldn't say anything, only able to repeat that their evidence was all fake.

The final outcome was beyond doubt.

The defendant's lawyer had originally secured a charge of manslaughter for Ji Weixue, which could result in only a ten-year prison sentence.

But he suddenly lost control of his emotions in court, loudly cursing the wife he had killed; the presiding judge immediately sentenced him to death with a two-year reprieve.

Ji Yan watched as Ji Weixue was taken away, tears glimmering in his eyes.

He wished he could go back to that year, to hold the version of himself who saw his father kill his mother, the version of himself who cried countless nights until he fainted.

Then he said, "Don't be afraid; you will meet someone very good who loves you deeply, who will protect you, fulfill all your wishes, and let you no longer live in fear and hatred all day."

【Detected Villain Blackening Value -20, accumulated 5, Heartbeat Value +5, accumulated 100!】

【Congratulations, Host!】 0731 voice extremely joyful.

Jin Chen curled his lips, kissed the happy, smiling Ji Yan, and whispered softly in his ear, "sweetheart, I love you."

Ji Yan looked back, feeling Jin Chen's intense love, his heart instantly filled, he whispered softly, "I also love Achen, deeply, for a very long time."
