Chapter 2179 This is the moment we've been waiting for.
Guo Xiao thought that if things were exposed, Zhang Ran would kill him, but Zhang Ran did not do so. Instead, she turned the tables and reached an agreement with Guo Xiao.
She promised to help him get his family out, demanding that Guo Xiao change his testimony in court and identify Gu Jinhe. Behind the scenes, however, she instructed Lin Jing's men to keep a close watch on him.
Having been driven to the brink, Guo Xiao readily agreed.
So after being arrested and imprisoned, Guo Xiao, in order to save his family's lives, falsely accused Zhang Ran of instigating him to commit murder.
Until last night, the police received a tip from the public, and Captain Lu personally led a team to rescue Guo Xiao's family.
Only after seeing his family members safe and sound did Guo Xiao change his testimony in court, pointing the finger at Gu Jinhe as the mastermind.
Because all the evidence was provided by the police, the judge skipped the process of verifying its authenticity and directly accepted it, summoning Gu Jinhe's bodyguard, Xiao Wang.
Xiao Wang was arrested for poisoning drugs and identified Gu Jinhe as the mastermind. After appearing in court, he confessed to the accusations made by Guo Xiao's family, saying, "Gu Jinhe instructed me to do this. I was responsible for protecting his safety, and I could only do what he said."
The judge asked, "What evidence do you have?"
Xiao Wang: "I have no evidence. He always just gave me verbal instructions, and I did them." After a pause, he suddenly revealed: "Gu Jinhe is gay. He hates Zhang Ran for stealing his lover. All he did was to kill Zhang Ran and win back his lover."
The entire room erupted in uproar, with people whispering and discussing loudly.
Sitting in the audience, Gu Jinxi raised the corners of her lips. She hadn't told her grandfather in person that Gu Jinhe liked men; she had been waiting for this moment.
Using someone else's words, they publicly ruined Gu Jinhe's reputation!
With multiple charges against him, Gu Jinhe will definitely go to jail.
She wanted to force the old man to give up on Gu Jinhe completely!
Only after he is completely abandoned by the Gu family can she proceed with the next step of her plan!
The judge was also shocked by the gossip he overheard, and slammed his gavel down, shouting, "Silence!"
Once the courtroom quieted down, the judge continued to call witnesses, examined all the evidence one by one, and had the prison guards bring Gu Jinhe in so that Xiao Wang and Guo Xiao could identify him in court.
Gu Jinhe was waiting backstage for the judge to sentence Zhang Ran to death, to receive Zhang Ran's property afterward, and for Xie Wei to come and beg him to spare Er Ya. He never expected that after he was brought to court, everyone would identify him as the mastermind, except for the butler who was wholeheartedly protecting him.
Even though two top lawyers tried their best to refute and defend him, the evidence was overwhelming, and he was found guilty after the trial. However, this was only the first instance and not the final verdict, so he still had a chance to turn things around.
He, who originally did not need to wear handcuffs, was not only handcuffed but also shackled, which restricted his movement.
The guard, Xiao Wang, publicly revealed that he liked men, which led to him being surrounded by a group of reporters as soon as he was taken out of the courthouse.
Liang Nanmei from the news agency practically shoved the microphone into his face. "Mr. Gu Jinhe! To steal a man, you framed an innocent girl with a life. A great woman who selflessly built an orphanage and adopted countless orphans—don't you feel any remorse at all?"
Gu Jinhe kept a straight face and refused to answer any questions.
Police separated the reporter, put him in a police car, and took him back to jail to continue his detention.
Gu Jinhe looked through the car window at Zhang Ran, who was also being escorted out by prison guards but was not handcuffed. If looks could kill, Zhang Ran would have died tens of thousands of times over.
Seemingly noticing Gu Jinhe's gaze, Zhang Ran gave a provocative smile towards the police car.
