Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 743 Where is the evidence?
Meng Xiaoxin's eyes widened, and she said angrily, "What are you saying? What gives you the right to fire me? Do you have the final say?"

Lu Qiaoge smiled and said, "I said 'if,' didn't you hear me clearly?"

Lu Qiaoge looked at the two of them again and asked, "So, even if you two are expelled, you're going to stick together through thick and thin?"

Tong Niannian wanted to say loudly, "Yes, yes," but for some reason, she couldn't say those two words.

Tao Zhuting was the same; she opened her mouth, but didn't immediately give a firm "yes" as she usually did.

Meng Xiaoxin's expression changed.

Looking at the two of them in disbelief: "What do you two mean? Didn't we agree that no matter what happens, we'll stand together and retreat together?"

Tong Niannian thought to herself, "What if I really get fired?"
Brother Meng and Fourth Brother Meng both apologized to that person today.

This proves that what they did was wrong.

Since it's wrong, he might actually get fired, especially since there's still a whistleblower letter there.

Han Jiaying cursed and swore that she didn't write it.

They had already discussed this before Lu Qiaoge arrived.

Han Jiaying's father assured that his daughter would not write a letter of complaint.

So who wrote this whistleblower letter?

We don't even know who it is. What if we get a poster with those words plastered on it tomorrow?
But they've always been in cahoots.

Faced with Meng Xiaoxin's incredulous questioning gaze, the two of them lacked the confidence to answer for the first time.

Meng Xiaoxin was so angry she was about to cry.

traitor!

These two are definitely traitors!
Han Jiaying clenched her fists, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up. Great, the ship of friendship capsized just like that!
Meng Xiaoxin said angrily, "You believe everything she says? How could she possibly fire me? Don't believe her nonsense."

Tong Niannian and Tao Zhuting exchanged a glance, realizing they couldn't keep up the act any longer, and said, "Even if we get fired, we'll still be together."

Meng Xiaoxin received a satisfactory answer, but she was not as happy as she had expected.

Because this answer made it seem like she had forced her to give it.

Looking at their expressions, they seemed no different from usual, but she sensed that their unhappiness was forced.

Meng Xiaoxin's face also darkened.

Regardless of what the two people thought, Lu Qiaoge continued to follow her rhythm: "Hmm, that's good. The friendship between the three of you really touches me. Then don't go out."

"Now, let me first find out about the grudges between Comrade Han Jiaying and classmate Meng Xiaoxin. Oh, right, I should say it like this: I need to find out about the grudges between Comrade Han Jiaying and three other classmates: Meng Xiaoxin, Tong Niannian, and Tao Zhuting."

Meng Xiaoxin blurted out, "What does this have to do with you?"

Lu Qiaoge ignored her and looked at Han Jiaying this time, her smile fading: "You used the information you got from Grandpa Lin to portray me as a despicable person. Is your purpose to make these three people hate me so that you can begin your revenge?"

Han Jiaying hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have done that, it's all my fault..."

It's just these few sentences over and over again.

Lu Qiaoge said patiently, "Don't apologize yet. I just want to ask you if that's what you were thinking?" Han Jiaying lowered her head, twisted her hands together, and said in a low voice, "Yes, that was what I was thinking at the time."

Meng Xiaoxin was so angry she wanted to jump three times high. Pointing at Han Jiaying, she said angrily, "You're the one who framed me. You and your second sister are no good either."

Han Jiaying suddenly raised her head, her angry gaze fixed on Meng Xiaoxin, her face turning ashen: "Meng Xiaoxin, if you dare to insult my second sister again, I'll kill you!"

The way Han Jiaying looked at this moment was completely different from how she apologized to Lu Qiaoge earlier; she appeared incredibly fierce.

Meng Xiaoxin was startled and took a step back, saying in a weak voice, "You dare! If you do that, I'll arrest you and put you in jail."

Lu Qiaoge stood between the two at the right moment, first stopping Han Jiaying and warning her, "If you say that again, I'll send you to the security department right now."

Han Jiaying was not as tall as Lu Qiaoge. She raised her eyes slightly and looked at Lu Qiaoge. Faced with Lu Qiaoge's clear and cold eyes, her fierceness was instantly suppressed.

She obediently shut her mouth.

Just as Meng Xiaoxin was about to shout, Lu Qiaoge's gaze fell on her.

“I shouldn’t have gotten involved in your affairs. After all, some things are a matter of opinion, and everyone has their own perspective and interpretation. It’s not easy for outsiders to judge right and wrong. But since you’ve dragged me into this, I have no choice but to stand here.”

Meng Xiaoxin glared at Lu Qiaoge, thinking to herself, "Lu Qiaoge's words are so infuriating, yet you don't dare to argue back. What's going on?"

Lu Qiaoge paused for a moment, then continued, "So I want to ask Meng Xiaoxin, what evidence do you have to prove that Han Jiaqi is not a good person? What evidence do you have to prove that Han Jiaqi seduced your fourth brother? What evidence do you have to prove that Han Jiaqi deliberately pulled your fourth brother down that day while skiing?"

Before Meng Xiaoxin could speak, Lu Qiaoge's expression darkened, and she slowly said, "Before you answer, given your level of education, I need to explain the concept of evidence in a legal sense."

Evidence refers to all objective materials that can prove the true facts of a case. It must exist independently of human subjective consciousness, and cannot be speculation, conjecture, or mere personal opinion, much less unverified rumors.

For example, if you insist that Han Jiaqi seduced your fourth brother, then you must provide solid evidence.

How exactly she carried it out, on what day, at what time, and who was present—all of this must be documented and verifiable.

At this moment, Qin Hengzhi closed the door to the small conference room.

People outside couldn't hear what was being said inside.

However, the four girls in the room stared at Lu Qiaoge with wide eyes, somewhat horrified.

Especially Meng Xiaoxin.

My heart is filled with anxiety and unease.

But Lu Qiaoge hadn't finished speaking when she continued:

"I must emphasize again that hearsay cannot be considered evidence. Of course, if someone has personally witnessed the event and can clearly and consistently state the facts, then that person can be considered a witness."

Even so, a witness's oral testimony is still considered verbal evidence and must be corroborated by other objective evidence before it can be accepted.

For example, if Han Jiaqi did indeed engage in seduction, and the witness was present and their testimony completely matches your fourth brother's statement, then that would constitute part of a valid chain of evidence.

Meng Xiaoxin was no match for Lu Qiaoge, and was momentarily speechless and filled with fear and unease when questioned.

While she was terrified, her mind was racing.

Chen Linlin told her that Han Jiaqi seduced Fourth Brother, but Lu Qiaoge wanted evidence.
