The judge nodded and said, "Witness, please answer her question."
"Yes," Yi Jingxi had no choice but to answer. "But I used legal means."
"The witness only needs to answer yes or no," An Lan interrupted him. "Mr. Yi, is your mother Chu Lei an old acquaintance of Xu Zhengxuan?"
Yi Jingxi's face twitched slightly.
He knew that Nian Junting must have investigated. He must have evidence to ask such a question. "Yes."
"Did your mother and Xu Zhengxuan have any grudges, or any emotional entanglements?"
"Defense lawyer, I refuse to answer your questions. I repeat, I'm not a prisoner, I'm a witness. You have no reason to interrogate me like this."
An Lan smiled and said sharply, "Your mother was one of Mr. Xu Zhengxuan's students. She used to pursue Mr. Xu, who was already married."
"Enough." Yi Jingxi's eyes were filled with anger. "I can sue you for attacking me and defaming my mother's reputation."
"Defense lawyer, pay attention to your questions," the judge warned.
An Lan calmly picked up a memory card from the table and said, "Your Honor, I have a recording related to the case here."
Yi Jingxi's pupils contracted as he stared at the thing in An Lan's hand.
The prosecutor inserted the memory card into the speaker, and Ceng Lijuan's voice could be heard in the courtroom. "What should I do if the truth is exposed? It's too risky. Besides, it'll be hard for me to face the world if it gets out."
"If you dare to take the risk, I'll send you abroad." Then, the man's cold and seductive voice could be heard. "You're an orphan, and you don't have a good family background. Even if you study hard in college, you might not be able to make it. I'll give you five million and help you with the immigration procedures. You'll live a comfortable life abroad."
"But I'm afraid it won't be easy to fool the judge to accuse Principal Xu of assaulting me."
"Don't worry, I've arranged everything."
The recording stopped abruptly.
The courtroom was silent for a few seconds, then people started talking. The judges, the audience, and the reporters all looked at Yi Jingxi in shock. He had spoken just now, and everyone could vaguely recognize his voice.
Yi Jingxi closed his eyes.
Apart from a taut expression on his handsome face, there was no other expression.
Xu Zhengxuan, who had been standing on the prisoner's bench, suddenly raised his head and looked at Yi Jingxi angrily. "Yi Jingxi, you planned all of this. Why did you do this to me? After you got engaged to my daughter, I treated you like my own son."
Yi Jingxi opened his eyes again. He didn't look at Xu Zhengxuan. Instead, he looked at the judge calmly and said, "Your Honor, I will remain silent in the face of false accusations."
An Lan smiled faintly. "Yes, the recording can't be deceived. An appraiser can easily tell if it's a fake or not. Your Honor, I would like to sue Yi Jingxi on behalf of my client for falsely accusing Mr. Xu Zhengxuan of indecency and embezzling the Xu family's property two years ago."
The judge frowned and discussed with the jurors for a while. "There are new changes in the case. The trial will be postponed to a week later. Mr. Yi Jingxi, you will be the defendant by then."
After the trial, Yi Jingxi was surrounded by reporters.
"Mister Yi, could it be because your mother was abandoned by Xu Zhengxuan that you held a grudge against him and framed him?"
