Who cared about the na of the Execution Team? The old woman imdiately rushed forward like a mother hen protecting her chicks, spread her arms wide, and shouted loudly, "You must have made a mistake! You've definitely arrested the wrong person! Miss Shen is a good person. Such a kind young woman, how could she possibly commit a cri? I beg you, please don't take her away..." After being pushed aside, she turned to the neighbors and explained that she was just a scavenger, barely surviving from one day to the next with her granddaughter. It was the couple, Lin Tang and Shen Youling, who had helped them, even providing school fees for her granddaughter, Wu Xinyu. Such good people must not be wrongfully accused!
"Shen Youling... Isn't she that great beauty from the news?"
"So she lives here?"
"You're just finding out now? I've known she lived here for ages!"
"Weren't there rumors that her family sold fake dicine that hard people?"
"Hah, that's ancient history. Her parents are indeed no good. They stole her husband Lin Tang's formula, but they didn't get the whole thing. The dicine they made was only a half-finished product, so it had side effects. Afterward, many people wanted to kill her parents. It was her husband who handed over the complete formula and produced the genuine dicine for sale. Those side effects disappeared after taking the real stuff, and that's how the matter was settled."
"I see!"
"I heard Shen Youling joined a costics company, and a new drug they've developed has already hit the market. Soone who bought it said the effects are incredible!"
"A new drug again?"
"Yeah!"
"No side effects, right?"
"None have been found so far. It's said to be another formula provided by her husband."
"Tsk tsk, being beautiful sure is great. Her husband is so talented, coming up with one formula after another. They must be making a fortune! I'm so jealous..."
"Give it a rest. Look at her now, the Execution Team is about to arrest her. The consequences are either death or life in prison. It's tragic, and you're still envious?"
"Uh—"
While the crowd was discussing this, Shen Youling arrived downstairs, accompanied by Lin Tang.
Originally, Lin Tang had persuaded Shen Qiushi not to co. But with his granddaughter about to be taken away, how could the old man sit still after hearing the news? He naturally followed behind, his face etched with worry. When he saw Shen Jiayue, he was stunned. Why did they capture my eldest granddaughter too? This is bad! Don't tell they're going to use her to threaten my younger granddaughter into submission? With Youling's soft heart, she would definitely agree...
The next mont, Shen Jiayue took a knife from one of Zhu Yingning's subordinates. Aiming it at Shen Youling, she took a deep breath and then shouted, "Shen Youling, you disloyal, unrighteous, inhuman, and unfilial criminal! I am ashad to be associated with you! The biggest mistake of my life was being your sister! I have received an order from the Execution Team to personally execute you. Co and face your death!"
"What?"
Shen Qiushi was shocked, then furious. And to think I was worried she had been captured to force Youling into submission. It turns out she, her own sister, is here to personally kill her?
Seeing this, the others started pointing and whispering amongst themselves again.
Shen Youling herself was stunned. Just a mont ago, I was so confused. Hasn't the Execution Team already been wiped out? Is this a new wave of reinforcents? But that's not right either. They know the Dragon King has already intervened. Under normal circumstances, any backup from the Execution Team should have retreated on its own. And now look at this... they're actually having my own sister co after ? How shaless! And my sister... she's actually willing to cooperate...
Lin Tang said, "Shen Jiayue, stop talking nonsense! What do you an by disloyal, unrighteous, inhuman, and unfilial? That's pure garbage! What evidence do you have to say my wife is that kind of person?"
"Evidence? Of course we have it!" Zhu Yingning lowered her voice, speaking in a deliberately androgynous tone. "I have here several written confessions from Shen Youling's own parents, detailing all the cris, big and small, that she has committed from childhood until now!"
She unfolded the papers she had put away and deliberately passed them out to the surrounding crowd.
"Her own parents admit to it, so it can't be fake, right? I can't believe that biological parents and a sister would lie and spread rumors just to have her killed!"
"That makes sense!"
"Right, what kind of parents would make up lies about their daughter just to send her to her death under a false accusation?"
"That must an all these accusations are true! My god, Shen Youling really did all these terrible things? Truly a venomous heart!"
"Wait a minute, look at this one. When she was young, Shen Youling forced a male classmate to wear girls' clothes and forced a female classmate to smoke... Co on, does that even count as a cri?"
"And this one, and this one... why do these accusations look so bizarre?"
"You've got to be kidding ... This? This is it? And for this, you're sentencing her to death?!" The crowd was flabbergasted, and voices of doubt rose from all around.
Zhu Yingning said coldly, "What, you think we're fabricating evidence? You think Shen Youling's parents didn't write these? As it happens, they're here too. Let's have them personally confirm whether they wrote these!"
Several subordinates imdiately ran off and dragged out Dong Mingfeng and Shen Xin, who were hiding nearby.
The pair was terrified of the Execution Team's reputation. Besides, they were the ones who had written these confessions. No threats or intimidation were even necessary. They imdiately nodded, admitting they wrote them and guaranteeing every word was true, without a single fabrication.
"You two beasts!" Shen Qiushi was almost overco with anger. He never expected that, to save their own skins, they would sling so much mud at their own daughter.
"Dad, don't get so worked up. You'll hurt yourself..." Shen Xin muttered while covering his face. You're so old, how can you still be this naive? I already told you, the Execution Team just needs an excuse. Even if we didn't write these confessions, they would still kill Shen Youling if they wanted to. So what difference does it make if we write so fake accusations?
"Alright, everyone quiet down and stop wasting ti!" Zhu Yingning urged impatiently. "The evidence is conclusive. Proceed with the execution. Once it's done, the three of you can leave!"
Shen Jiayue gripped the knife and stepped toward Shen Youling.
Shen Youling took one of the confessions and began reviewing it personally. She saw the handwriting, signatures, and fingerprints... all of which belonged to Dong Mingfeng, Shen Xin, and Shen Jiayue. As she read through the specific accusations, her expression was inscrutable; it was unclear whether she was sad or angry.
As the tip of the knife drew near, both Shen Qiushi and Huang Jifen shouted for her to dodge.
Shen Youling neither dodged nor showed any fear. The Shen Youling of today was still weak, but she was no longer soone an ordinary person like Shen Jiayue could easily harm.
"Sister, are you really going to kill with your own hands?" she sighed.
Shen Jiayue stiffened for a mont before continuing to advance.
When they were a ter apart, she suddenly raised the knife and scread, "Don't bla ! Bla yourself for being blind and choosing that bastard Lin Tang for a husband! Die!"
WHOOSH!
The tip of the blade glinted in the sunlight. Many in the crowd couldn't bear to look and shut their eyes.
"No!" Shen Qiushi's face was etched with pain. He never imagined he would witness such a scene of one sister trying to kill the other.
