After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 500

Chapter 500: Public Trial
Sensing her gaze, Guo Dabao glanced over and, upon seeing her, flames of anger erupted in his eyes. He remembered her, the wretched girl who had staged the accident that day!

Unexpectedly encountering her here, both new grievances and old resentments surged within him. He immediately regarded Zhouzhou with a hostile gaze.

Before he could act, however, two icy glares shot towards him. He felt a chill run down his spine and turned his head to see the man who almost ran them over today, along with the onlooker.

At this moment, the gaze of both individuals was colder than the other, truly daunting. He shrank back in fear, his legs weakening, almost collapsing to the ground.

Yet, when he looked at the coffin beside him, it seemed to give him some courage.

He reached out and held onto it, continuing to wail, “Mother, please open your eyes and look at me. Your son hasn’t been filial yet. How could you leave us like this?”

“The doctor said you could live to be a hundred, but you’re only seventy. Why did you leave us?”

“Without you, how can I go on?”

“Mother, wake up.”

He cried as if his heart was breaking. Zhouzhou looked at him and suddenly blinked, asking, “Do you really want her to open her eyes?”

Before he could respond, she swiftly flicked her hand, her speed astonishing. Only Qin Lie and Qin Xu noticed it.

Guo Dabao hadn’t yet grasped her meaning when the lid of the coffin suddenly lifted. He instinctively looked down and met his mother’s open eyes.

His voice abruptly stopped, and he hurriedly stepped back two paces, his left leg tripping over his right, falling to the ground.

On the other hand, Guo Zhaodi, seeing her mother’s open eyes, exclaimed in joy, “Mother, you’re still alive!”

However, there was no response.

Those open eyes were hollow and lifeless, pupils dilated, clearly devoid of any signs of life.

Qin Xu’s gaze drifted from Zhouzhou to Guo Dabao, somewhat helpless.

This little girl was scaring people again.

He cleared his throat, giving Zhouzhou a meaningful look, indicating she should tone it down a bit. Otherwise, if anything supernatural happened, it wouldn’t be easy to explain.

Noticing his gaze, Zhouzhou innocently looked back.

He wanted his mother to open her eyes; she was just doing a good deed.

Understanding the meaning in her eyes, Qin Xu’s mouth twitched, but he didn’t say anything more.

He turned to Guo Dabao, his face stern, and said, “What are you doing, causing such a ruckus? Take the coffin away properly. If you’re a filial son, you should arrange the funeral properly. If you cause any more trouble, we have the right to arrest you.”

Upon hearing this, Guo Zhaodi hastily said, “I’m sorry, we’ll leave now.”

However, upon hearing these words, Guo Dabao suddenly came to his senses and blurted out, “We can’t leave!”

He looked at the coffin in horror, then collected himself. No, his mother was already dead. He had seen it with his own eyes. He must have been mistaken just now.

Thinking this, he forced himself to calm down and looked at Qin Lie with determination. “He frightened my mother to death. There must be an explanation today!”

With that, he took out his phone and aimed it at Qin Xu, snapping pictures. “If you guys cover up for him, I’ll make everyone see your true faces!”

Only then did several people notice that his phone had been live streaming all along, and surprisingly, there were quite a few viewers.

Qin Xu narrowed his eyes, instantly guessing his intentions.

It was just to use the media and public opinion, throwing in some provocative words easily to tarnish the Qin family’s reputation, portraying them as unscrupulous and unjustly wealthy.

If they wanted to protect the Qin family’s reputation, they had to play along with him.

Absolutely shameless.

Qin Xu couldn’t help but laugh at how he had played with fire to the point of involving the police. Truly reckless.

He warned coldly, “Guo Dabao, let me say this one last time. If your accusations are proven false, then the other party also has the right to sue you for defamation, which carries legal consequences.”

Hearing this, Guo Zhaodi looked panicked and tugged on Guo Dabao’s sleeve, pleading softly, “Dabao, please don’t cause trouble. Let’s leave quickly and let Mother rest in peace.”

“Rest in peace?!” Guo Dabao impatiently pushed her away. “The murderer who killed Mother hasn’t been punished yet. How can she rest in peace?”

“Yes, Mother won’t rest in peace. She must have been wronged to death.”

Having said that, he suddenly stepped forward and aimed his phone screen at the person inside the coffin, making Mrs. Guo’s deadly opened eyes appear on the screen.

He shouted loudly, “Mother, you’ve opened your eyes. Now you can watch how the person who killed you is brought to justice!”

These words were heartfelt, each one implying that Qin Lie was using his wealth to disregard human life and now wanted to suppress the matter.

The bullet comments instantly skyrocketed.

[Oh my god, I was scared to death. I thought she was still alive.]

[Agreed, this is what it means to die with grievances. I’ve truly witnessed it today.]

[So, she was really murdered? The person next to him is Qin Lie, could it really be him who killed her?]

[I’m almost certain now. Otherwise, why would he slander him? He must have been so infuriated that he made a big deal out of it.]

[How disgusting. Just because the Qin family is wealthy, does that mean they can harm people?]

[Exactly, I hope the murderer is punished severely!]

[If the deceased isn’t given justice, I’ll be the first to object.]

…

Wealth disparity has always been easy to provoke conflict. At the moment, many people, because of the Qin family’s wealth, immediately blamed Qin Lie without hesitation.

Zhouzhou looked at the resentment gathering around Qin Lie and frowned.

She immediately reached out with her chubby hand and fiercely waved it, dispersing the resentment. She bared her small teeth and sternly said, “Don’t get close to my daddy!”

Her voice was milky, but the resentment seemed to fear her, truly not daring to approach.

Zhouzhou stared at Guo Dabao, knowing he was the culprit.

With a glance, she saw his ferocious expression, his eyebrows still carrying a bloodthirsty aura, clearly someone who had blood on his hands.

He was the one who killed his mother!

With clenched fists, Zhouzhou suddenly beckoned to Qin Lie.

Seeing this, Qin Lie bent down, and Zhouzhou quickly whispered something in his ear.

Qin Lie narrowed his eyes, his gaze dangerously sweeping over Guo Dabao.

He knew this person loved money, but he only thought he wanted to extort money by using his mother’s death. He didn’t expect him to actually kill his own mother for money.

Worse than a beast.

His thin lips pressed tightly together, he coldly glanced at Guo Dabao, then turned to Qin Xu and asked, “Mr. Qin, can we request a public trial?”

Qin Xu was also somewhat surprised by this, but he didn’t show much expression on his face. If he was willing to say this, it further proved his innocence.

After a moment of contemplation, he nodded decisively. “Okay, I’ll apply for it.”

With that, he stared directly at the phone camera and said, “All details of this case will be released in real-time, and the entire process will be made public. We won’t wrong a good person, but we won’t let any bad person go either.”

As he finished speaking, his gaze swept over Guo Dabao, his eyes cold.

“That’s right!” Zhouzhou nodded vigorously, standing protectively in front of Qin Lie, hands on her hips, glaring at Guo Dabao.

She wouldn’t let anyone bully her daddy!
