Chapter 137 Slander
Chapter 137 Slander
Lu Siqi arrived at Yunjiang People's Hospital first, and only after seeing Hua Xu, who was still in a coma, did she feel a little relieved.
They didn't stay long at the hospital and took a chartered plane back to Beicheng overnight.
The next morning, someone from the North China Special Region came to inform her to go to the Special Region Court.
Xu Huaqing knew that Mu Sen had caused trouble during his mission in Bangnan, and worried that it might also implicate her daughter Lu Siqi, so she quickly called her husband Lu Mingyuan: "Let me tell you, Lu Mingyuan! I, Xu Huaqing, have lived a very frustrating life!"
"But I'll endure it no matter how frustrating it is!"
"If you can't protect our daughter this time, I, Xu Huaqing, will absolutely swear an oath against you, Lu Mingyuan!"
The mother, who was always gentle and kind, was known for her good temper in the family compound and was also a good helpmate to her father, Lu Mingyuan; but now, for the sake of her daughter, she has completely broken ties with her father.
Before leaving, Lu Siqi turned to her mother with a comforting smile and said, "Mom, when I come back, I'll take you away to the place you've always wanted to go, okay?"
Xu Huaqing burst into tears instantly. Decades of grievances and forbearance could no longer be suppressed at this moment, because this was the daughter she had carried for ten months and raised with her own hands!
She, as a mother, knew all too well what kind of life her daughter had lived in this family for the past 20 years.
Now that the truth has been revealed, she no longer needs to play the role of a good wife in the eyes of the public!
At this moment, all she wanted was to be her daughter's mother!
"Don't worry, Siqi, Mom will make sure nothing happens to you!"
Seeing her daughter being taken away, Xu Huaqing didn't waste any more time on her grief. She walked to the phone, wiped away her tears, and dialed Grandpa Lu's number.
"Grandpa! Siqi is in trouble! You must help her!"
……
Although Lu Siqi's grandfather, Lu Ye, has been retired for many years, his reputation remains.
Lu Ye's younger brother, Lu Wanlin, also held an important position in the military.
As the only daughter in both families, Lu Siqi was the darling of the family.
Thankfully, Fourth Uncle Lu Yao has had a daughter, Wanwan, in recent years; otherwise, Lu Siqi would still be the only one.
Upon learning of what Lu Siqi had done at Yunjiang Airport, the upright and incorruptible Lu Ye believed that his granddaughter had done the right thing!
In addition, having recently heard about the inhumane treatment suffered by the spies sent to Bangnan over the past 20 years, Lu Ye could no longer allow those bastards in the cabinet to bully his beloved granddaughter.
Before going to court, Lu Ye called his younger brother Lu Wanlin again, asking him to bring all the male members of the Lu family to sit on the jury.
He wanted to see how these people could turn white into black.
After the court session began, the prosecutor questioned Lu Siqi in turn.
"Defendant Lu Siqi, do you agree with the above charges?"
Lu Siqi stood ramrod straight, her expression haughty as she retorted, "Where's the evidence? What evidence do you have to prove that Mu Sen's mission this time was a solo operation?"
The prosecutor's lawyer seemed to have not expected her to respond in this way. After all, based on their past understanding of her, apart from being an excellent pilot, her eloquence had always been criticized.
It seems we have no choice but to resort to our trump card.
As Cui Tian walked toward the witness stand, she didn't dare to look up at Lu Siqi.
She only nodded when questioned by the lawyer. "Witness Cui Tian, as far as we know, you were also a member of this mission. When you were questioned by the investigation team before, you admitted that the defendant Lu Siqi and Mu Sen had a relationship that went beyond that of superior and subordinate. Is this true?"
Cui Tian nodded without hesitation, "That's true."
"Hehe." Lu Siqi burst into laughter, not caring about her image at all, and not even that the Lu family members were on the jury. "Cui Tian, isn't it you who truly went beyond the superior-subordinate relationship with Mu Sen?"
"You...you're slandering me! It was clearly you and Mu Sen!"
"Couldn't you have done your research before giving false testimony?" Lu Siqi looked at Sheng Huai'an sitting on the jury, her eyes filled with admiration: "I already had a boyfriend before I went on this mission. My boyfriend is Sheng Huai'an from the Sheng family in Hong Kong."
Upon hearing Sheng Huai'an's name, Cui Tian was shocked and looked at him in disbelief.
"What? You're surprised?" Lu Siqi raised the corners of her mouth: "What's even more surprising is yet to come. Sheng Huai'an and I have already reached the point of discussing marriage. Please tell me, would I give up such an outstanding heir of the Sheng family and choose Mu Sen, who is like a hooligan all day long?"
Her answer was unexpected by the jury, the prosecutor, and even Cui Tian.
The fact that the Sheng family of Hong Kong City had been dragged into this mess made them exchange troubled glances, as if asking: What should we do next? Offending the Sheng family would be disastrous.
Lu Siqi glanced at the group of old men and continued to sneer, "I know what you're all thinking. You just want to send us, the undercover agents, to Bangnan so they can do whatever they want with us and maintain the hard-won stability of the border."
"But what I want to say is that peace is not obtained by compromising, but by earning it through the defense capabilities of one's own country!"
"Our country is now strong! We young people are no longer the puppets you see!"
"If you want to use us again to achieve your own interests, let me tell you, you're dreaming!"
The old folks looked at each other, none of them daring to stand up and refute her.
After all, the entire Lu family is here...
Lu Siqi didn't care what these people thought of her, and continued to express her opinion with a contemptuous look in her eyes: "What our country needs most right now is a warrior like Mu Sen. It's not him who should die, but you bunch of old geezers!"
Hearing Lu Siqi's remarks, the Lu family members in the jury immediately gained a new understanding of the girl they had watched grow up.
In their past impressions, Lu Siqi had always been a very introverted girl, quiet and reserved, not good at socializing. At family gatherings, she would always sit in the corner without communicating with anyone, as if she were a world unto herself.
In fact, when she was 10 years old, Lu Mingyuan took her to see a psychologist to see if his daughter had autism.
The psychologist concluded that Lu Siqi was psychologically healthy, a very normal child, and even had a high level of artistic talent, and that they should focus on nurturing her.
However, Lu Mingyuan strongly opposed Lu Siqi's painting, refusing to enroll her in art classes and even changing her college application choices.
If it were someone else, they would definitely have a big argument with their family or a debate, right?
Lu Siqi refused.
She acted as if nothing had happened, reporting to the aviation academy on time, and later followed the usual procedure to join the Hong Kong Police Force.
I originally thought she would live a conventional life like her second aunt Xu Huaqing, but she suddenly resigned and went to Bangnan, and she was completely transformed.
As Lu Ye leaned on his cane, he looked at his granddaughter, who was speaking eloquently in the defendant's seat, and his hands trembled uncontrollably with emotion.
Lu Wanlin is 10 years younger than his older brother Lu Ye. He has a particularly volatile temper and slammed his fist on the table, startling even his youngest son Lu Yao who was sitting next to him.
"I think you all think the Lu family has no one to rely on, that's why you're bullying our daughter like this!" He jumped up, refusing his third son Lu Heng's help, and walked straight to the courtroom bench, standing face to face with the judge: "Today, I, Lu Wanlin, will make my point here! Anyone who dares to slander my Siqi! I, Lu Wanlin, will make sure they never rise again in Beicheng!"
