Ling Qiu wanted to faint and she grabbed the hand of the unwilling Kang Yiyi tightly. The spoiled heiress pulled away and scrunched her nose in disgust. Ling Qiu noticed her reaction and was stunned. Wasn't this the girl who offered a partnership? Was she throwing her into the fire already? Ling Qiu felt sick and clenched her fists. This was it.
As much as the judge wanted to say she was guilty immediately, he still had to follow procedures. He noted the laws and the prison time for murder and his other words weren't heard by Xiao Yunhua as she zoned out. Her anxiety had slowly left her and she felt relaxed. Who knew depending on someone like this was also good? She smiled as she snuck a look at the man next to her. She owned him so much... All she had to do was pretend to be his fake girlfriend, but he was putting forth the extra effort. Her heart beat fast as she looked at him, an effect of the system's manipulation.
By the time the judge had finished speaking, she was paying attention again and noticed the judge ask Ling Qiu, "Any final words?"
Ling Qiu looked around with angry tears in her eyes. "Yes. All of this wouldn't have been possible without the help of a special friend." The bored Kang Yiyi suddenly froze and turned around to look at Ling Qiu like everyone else. Noticing that their eyes met, Kang Yiyi suddenly felt a feeling of dread in her heart.
"Yiyi, why don't you say something?"
"What are you talking about?" Yiyi rolled her eyes and played it off smoothly. "I'm just here because you asked me to be here. We've been friends for a while, I don't understand why you'd want to pin it all on me."
"Yiyi... I didn't want to do this." By this point, nobody was bothering to stop her as everyone was interested in how she was going to prove it all. She pulled out her phone and tapped on something, blasting it on speaker.
"I need you to get one of your men to speed up the process of an autopsy."
"Keen is an overemphasis of the situation at hand. She is not worthy."
"I know. Which is why I need you to supply more of the good stuff."
"You underestimate me too much."
"Enough! Focus or you will suffer the consequences. You must also supply me with some hallucination drugs. X DRUG would work."
"Money is never an issue. I'll wire you one hundred."
"Thousand."
"Alright, ten million and no more."
"You better."
One by one, each of her dialogues with a stranger were revealed until the end. Kang Yiyi had lost all cool and immediately ushered for the lawyer to speak on her behalf. "Miss Ling, I believe that it's a manipulated audio. Do you have any proof that it's real?"
Ling Qiu looked maniacal as she wanted to drag the heiress down with her. "It's authentic and not overly complicated except for recording. I can always reveal the conversation we had."
