After her identity was stolen, she lived in the short-lived villain's phone.

Chapter 378 Chen Jiazhi Sentenced (Two Chapters Combined)

The courtroom was silent and solemn.

Chen Jiazhi waited for several minutes, her heart growing colder and colder.

She couldn't believe it.

why?
Why hasn't the system contacted her yet?

Chen Jiazhi couldn't control her panic.

These days spent in the detention cell have made Chen Jiazhi very clear that, with the evidence irrefutable, if she cannot start over like in her previous life, she will definitely face the harsh and merciless punishment of the law.

How could she let herself spend the rest of her life in prison!
If that's the case, what's the point of her being reborn!

Chen Jiazhi looked dazed, her mind preoccupied with trying to figure out what the problem was.

She kept her head down, absorbed in her own world, oblivious to what was happening around her, and didn't even hear the judge announce the start of the court session.

This time, Su Chengyan and his legal team made ample preparations, and with a wealth of conclusive evidence, Chen Jiazhi had virtually no chance of winning.

During the days Chen Jiazhi was detained, apart from Gu Mingyue visiting her a few times, she was almost completely alone, and even the lawyer defending her was a legal aid lawyer.

The lawyer knew that the evidence against Chen Jiazhi was conclusive, and he had no intention of winning the case. Instead, he tried his best to reduce the legal sentence for his defense attorney.

However, Su Chengyan and Chi Yu had no intention of letting Chen Jiazhi off the hook. The brother and sister produced stacks of evidence, overwhelming Chen Jiazhi on the spot.

Whether it's Chi Yu or Su Chengyan, their lawsuits against Chen Jiazhi are criminal cases, and Chen Jiazhi is not required to pay civil compensation; she only needs to be severely punished by law.

Finally, even the lawyer who defended Chen Jiazhi gave up the struggle, his face numb.

Until the judge pronounced the verdict on the spot, given the numerous offenses committed by Chen Jiazhi, she was sentenced to thirteen years and six months in prison and fined 50,000 yuan, to be executed immediately.

As the gavel fell heavily, Chen Jiazhi seemed to wake from a dream. She looked around, then at Chi Yu, and suddenly burst into tears.

The system didn't come to her rescue like it did in her previous life!
The system really doesn't want her anymore!

In her past life, she was actually on the opposite side of Chi Yu in court.

It was in court, after losing her case against Chi Yu, that her hatred for Chi Yu reached its peak, and she cursed at Chi Yu without thinking.

Then, the system appeared.

The system made a deal with her, bringing her back to this life.

why!
Why hasn't the system appeared in my life?!

With her last glimmer of hope dashed, and before she could even process what had happened, Chen Jiazhi's anger and resentment vanished. Her expression changed drastically as she repeatedly kowtowed in the direction of Chi Yu, pleading, "Yu Yu! I was wrong! Please, please forgive me! I was blinded by greed, jealous of your status, and that's why I did this to betray you… I know I was wrong, please, please forgive me… I don't want to go to jail! I don't want to go to jail!"

She cried uncontrollably, and for a moment, the entire venue was filled with Chen Jiazhi's sharp and tragic cries.

If it weren't for the evidence presented by Chi Yu and Su Chengyan, revealing that Chen Jiazhi is a cold-blooded and vicious person, anyone who saw Chen Jiazhi like this would have thought that everyone had wronged her.

"Her change of attitude is too fast. Just before the trial, she hated Chi Yu to death, but now she's kneeling down and admitting her mistakes like a lapdog."

"Is she really not mentally ill? She looks kind of scary."

"Thirteen years and six months, awesome! Even if someone is mentally ill, they'll have to stay in there and be locked up properly, unable to cause any trouble."

"..."

After the trial ended, everyone in the spectator stands, having gotten the result they wanted, looked much lighter and began to discuss Chen Jiazhi amongst themselves.

Chen Jiazhi paid no attention to the stares and whispers of these people, only looking at Chi Yu, begging for her forgiveness.

Thinking about the judge's verdict, Chen Jiazhi truly regretted it.

In her past life, she was sued by Chi Yu for repeatedly stealing his things.

The judge sentenced her to only three years and six months at the time, but now that she has been reborn, she has a full ten years more to serve in prison!
Chen Jiazhi found it absurd!
She was reborn ten years in the past, and those extra ten years turned out to be spent in prison?!
If that's the case, what's the point of her rebirth?
In her previous life, she did nothing but stay by Chi Yu's side and live a life of good food and drink for ten years.

Despite all the scheming and plotting in this life, I ended up in prison a full ten years earlier than in my previous life?!
At that moment, Chen Jiazhi suddenly recalled the kindness Chi Yu had shown her in her past life.

Whether it was when Chi Yu was in the orphanage or after she was taken back by the Su family, Chi Yu always treated her very well and would share everything with her.

After Chi Yu returned to the Su family, he not only did not despise her, but also gave her all kinds of gold jewelry and designer bags. He would even take her to some socialite gatherings, take her out to eat, drink, have fun, and travel around, without her having to spend a penny.

Later, considering her retirement, Chi Yu arranged a very easy job for her at Su Sheng Group and specifically instructed Su Chengyan to ensure that the social insurance and housing fund contributions paid for her were at the highest level.

Chi Yu is not someone who abuses his power for personal gain, except when it comes to her.

Scenes from the past flashed through Chen Jiazhi's mind, filling her with immense regret and self-reproach. She could only repeatedly apologize to Chi Yu: "Chi Yu, I was wrong, please, don't abandon me. Have you forgotten the days we spent in the orphanage when we were little? You said we were best friends, and that when we had children, you would let the kids recognize each other as godmothers... Waaaaah, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong... Please..."

Upon hearing her words, Su Chengyan frowned, a deep look of disgust appearing in his eyes.

He hoped that Chi Yu and Chen Jiazhi had only a casual relationship in the orphanage, and he didn't want her to be good friends with Chi Yu.

The better the relationship between Chen Jiazhi and Chi Yu was before, the more hurt Chi Yu would be by doing these things.

"Don't listen to her." Su Chengyan raised his hand to cover Chi Yu's ears, preventing Chen Jiazhi's filthy words from reaching Chi Yu's ears. "She doesn't know she's wrong; she's just scared by the legal consequences she'll have to bear."

"In the future, you will make many like-minded friends and meet more and better people from all over the world. Your parents and I will always stand behind you. Your family will always be your support."

Su Chengyan comforted Chi Yu.

"Big brother." Chi Yu couldn't help but call out to him, her voice trembling, her heart filled with emotion: "Thank you."

“We’re family, no need for thanks,” Su Chengyan said.

Chi Yu nodded.

Chen Jiazhi's words actually had no effect on Chi Yu.

Chi Yu had already seen it clearly the moment Chen Jiazhi pushed her into the sea.

Moreover, Chi Yu has been living in Shen Yanzhi's phone for the past few months, attending various elite exchange meetings with him, which has broadened her horizons and changed her mindset without her realizing it.

Chi Yu does not deny that she used to regard Chen Jiazhi as a very important friend, but in the future, Chen Jiazhi will only be a convict to her!
However, Chi Yu still had something to say to Chen Jiazhi.

Chen Jiazhi's inconsistent reactions might lead everyone to believe she was having a fit of madness or was mentally unstable, but Chi Yu had a vague guess in her mind. She looked at Chen Jiazhi and even took a few steps closer to her.

No one expected Chi Yu to walk towards Chen Jiazhi, especially Su Chengyan, who was standing next to her. Upon seeing this, he instinctively wanted to reach out and stop her, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he slowly clenched his fist and lowered it.

Su Chengyan felt that Chi Yu must have her own ideas.

His sister could not possibly be fooled by Chen Jiazhi's few words.

The people in the audience were also surprised to see Chi Yu walking towards Chen Jiazhi.

Everyone suspected that Chi Yu had softened after hearing Chen Jiazhi admit her mistake.

Upon seeing this, Su Muyang became anxious: "Why is my sister walking towards Chen Jiazhi! Don't believe Chen Jiazhi! She's a liar! What are you doing, brother? Just standing there, why aren't you stopping Yu Yu?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, your sister may not believe Chen Jiazhi's words. Otherwise, she wouldn't have expressed her demands so clearly to the judge just now," Su's mother comforted her. But when she thought of Chi Yu's desperate words about being pushed into the sea by Chen Jiazhi on the deck that day, she couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in her heart.

If it weren't for the law, Su's mother would really like to let Chen Jiazhi experience what Chen Jiazhi did to Chi Yu!
Su's father calmly said, "Don't rush."

He believed in his daughter.

As Chen Jiazhi watched Chi Yu walk towards her, she, like many others in the audience, assumed that Chi Yu had softened after hearing her admit her mistake.

Chen Jiazhi was both surprised and delighted, and looked up at Chi Yu expectantly.

The current Chi Yu is the young and kind-hearted Chi Yu at twenty-two, not the thirty-two-year-old Chi Yu who will become selfish and indifferent under the nourishment of money and capital ten years later.

Twenty-two-year-old Chi Yu is definitely more soft-hearted and easier to talk to than her future self.

Chen Jia called out to Chi Yu with a pitiful yet affectionate tone, "Yu Yu, I knew you would forgive me..."

Before she could finish speaking, Chi Yu interrupted her: "Chen Jiazhi, wake up, stop dreaming in broad daylight."

Chen Jiazhi's expression froze. Before she could react, she heard Chi Yu's voice: "I came here to give you some advice. The net of heaven is vast and its meshes are wide, yet nothing escapes it. People are watching what you do. You deserve to go to jail for what you have done. No matter how many times you escape, even if you have the ability to reverse time, you still have to take responsibility for the mistakes you have made."

"You can't escape this imprisonment."

Chi Yu spoke in an almost indifferent tone.

When Chen Jiazhi heard the last sentence, her eyes widened in shock, and she looked at Chi Yu in horror.

Only then did she realize that Chi Yu's calm, clear black and white pupils held a kind of eerie quality that seemed to see through everything.

An unbelievable and horrifying thought arose in Chen Jiazhi's mind. Her face turned deathly pale, and her hand trembled as she pointed at Chi Yu: "...You...you!"

Chi Yu was also reborn!
Otherwise, why would she say such a thing!

How did she know that she escaped legal responsibility in her previous life because of her rebirth?
No wonder she was sentenced to nearly fourteen years this time!
It turns out that Chi Yu was behind all of this!

With this in mind, Chen Jiazhi suddenly felt that everything made sense.

All those illogical things from before now make sense after we know that Chi Yu was also reborn.

No wonder Chi Yu was able to come back after falling into the sea. She should have died, but after killing the twenty-two-year-old Chi Yu, the thirty-two-year-old Chi Yu was reborn.

Standing before her now was Chi Yu, who was thirty-two years old!
For a moment, Chen Jia knew she couldn't tell whether she felt regret or hatred.

If she had known earlier that Chi Yu was also reborn, she would have killed her the moment Chi Yu appeared.

It's all that damn system's fault, it kept insisting that Chi Yu was dead.

Twenty-two-year-old Chi Yu is dead, but thirty-two-year-old Chi Yu has arrived!
No wonder the system couldn't detect Chi Yu's whereabouts, because the 32-year-old Chi Yu standing in front of her wasn't human at all, but a ghost!

Thinking of all this, Chen Jiazhi, who had been cowering, suddenly straightened her back, pointed at Chi Yu, and opened her mouth to expose her as a ghost.

If Chi Yu won't let her have an easy time, she'll make sure Chi Yu is utterly disgraced.

However, no matter how hard she tried to open her mouth, it remained tightly shut and she couldn't open it at all!

She's a ghost! She's a ghost! She's a ghost!
Chen Jiazhi screamed countless times in her heart, but her mouth was tightly sealed. Even if she changed her mind and wanted to use other words to expose Chi Yu's identity, her mouth would not move, just like when she wanted to expose her reborn identity in the interrogation room.

Seeing Chen Jiazhi's reaction, Chi Yu's suspicions were confirmed.

She gave Chen Jiazhi a cryptic smile, then turned and left gracefully, leaving Chen Jiazhi with a serene and enigmatic silhouette.

Chen Jiazhi looked at Chi Yu's smile and understood everything.

Chi Yu is indeed a ghost!

She must have cast a spell on herself, which is why she was unable to speak time and time again. Perhaps even the system on her body was killed by Chi Yu!

She misunderstood her system!

Chen Jiazhi's inner thoughts were very complicated, and her emotions were fluctuating wildly. In this state, she naturally couldn't control her facial expressions.

So everyone saw that after Chi Yu finished speaking, Chen Jiazhi, who had just pretended to sincerely admit her mistake, immediately changed her expression, becoming sinister and resentful, and her fingers trembled as if she were having an epileptic seizure.

"Tsk tsk tsk, realizing that playing the victim wouldn't work, he immediately changed his tune."

"What kind of madwoman is Chen Jiazhi? This court hearing should really be broadcast online so that netizens can judge for themselves."

"Hilarious! After Chi Yu said those things, did Chen Jiazhi get respiratory alkalosis? Did she get so angry that she lost control of her body?"

"Let's go, let's go! Today's hearing was definitely worth it. No wonder the internet says courthouses are one of the top ten free venues for couples to go on dates. The value for money is amazing! It's truly an eye-opener!"

"..."

The trial concluded, and the people in the audience got up and left.

Chen Jiazhi was forcibly removed from the scene by two law enforcement officers. If she does not appeal, she will face thirteen years and six months in prison.

If she appeals the court's ruling, the outcome of the second instance will likely be the same.

Just as Chi Yu said, the net of heaven is vast and its meshes are wide, yet nothing escapes it; Chen Jiazhi will not escape the jail sentence she deserves.

　Are you all satisfied with Chen Jiazhi's result? Goodnight.
