Chapter 6 — The Fateful Trial

The hallway fell silent. Vuong Xao Tran's face looked like someone had slapped him hard. Vien Ban also came running from behind. Hearing this sentence, his steps stopped. Just at that moment, Judge Tuong pushed the door open and walked out. He looked at Phung Le Le:

“What did you just say?”

Phung Le Le raised her head, tears rolling down the edge of her mask. Just as the girl was about to open her mouth, Vuong Xao Tran pounced and covered her mouth: "She's sick so she's talking loudly! She's talking nonsense!" But Phung Le Le struggled fiercely. It ripped off the mask. There were no big bruises on his face like rumored. There was only a tiny bruise that was about to dissolve at the corner of his mouth. She cried and said: "I was not beaten by him. I also did not have any fractures. The medical record was faked by my mother." 06 Phung Le Le's words are like a stone thrown into the water. The whole hallway seemed to explode. Ms. Liu covered her mouth and her eyes widened. The neighbors standing next to each other looked at each other, no one dared to speak first. Vuong Xao Tran rushed forward and tried to cover Phung Le Le's mouth: "You're crazy! Do you know what you're saying?" Phung Le Le cried and trembled:

"I know. I can't stand it anymore. Mom makes me memorize those words every day. Mom said that I just need to bite Miss Duong's family to death to get the money. Mom said that if I get the money, she will let me transfer to another school. But their child is still so young. I don't want to lie anymore."

Vuong Xao Tran waved his hand to hit his child. I didn't move. But Ha Binh rushed forward to block the blow. That slap landed straight on Ha Binh's shoulder, making a "pop" sound. Vuong Xao Tran became even angrier: "You still defend him! If it weren't for him, would you have fallen?" Phung Le Le cried: "I fell because my mother pushed me! It wasn't him!" Everyone was silent. This time, Judge Tuong's face was completely dark. Vien Bin's face was sometimes blue and sometimes white. He lowered his voice and said to Vuong Xao Tran: "Sister Vuong, please calm down." Vuong Xao Tran turned around and glared at him: "Didn't you say it was okay? Didn't you tell her to stay close to his girlfriend, hug the baby, and threaten her so much that she would vomit money as compensation?" Vien Bin's face changed immediately: "Don't talk nonsense." I held my child and stood in place, cold sweat breaking out in waves on my back. It turns out that from the beginning, what they needed was not justice. What they need is money. They took aim at the fact that I was weak after giving birth, my husband was not by my side, and my husband's family hid the shady registration matter. They thought that if I made a big deal out of it, I would grit my teeth and pay these five hundred thousand yuan for the sake of my children, my family, and my honor. But they didn't expect that I would actually carry a three-month-old baby to court. Even more unexpected, Phung Le Le collapsed right here. Judge Chiang immediately asked the secretary to call the judicial police and record the entire incident. Vuong Xao Tran still tried to make excuses: "My daughter was scared out of her wits! What she said doesn't count! She was threatened by you guys!" Phung Le Le shook her head: "No one threatened me. Mom, it was you who told me that if I didn't listen, you would lock me at home. Mom said the Ha Binh family owes us. Mom said the Ha family has money, why wouldn't they take it?" I caught a name. Ha Binh. I looked at the teenager: "Do you and Phung Le Le know each other?" Ha Binh bowed his head: "Familiar."

“How familiar?”

It was silent for a long time: “You She lives downstairs in my grandmother's house. Before you moved here, you two already knew each other.” Vuong Xao Tran suddenly shouted: "Shut your mouth!" But Ha Binh seemed to have held back for too long, and finally raised his head:

“Miss Vuong, it was you who told me to come to this apartment complex to find Le Le. She said that Le Le was being followed by a few boys, and told her to come out and threaten them. That night, when I came downstairs, I saw you and Le Le arguing. She pushed her down the steps. I intend
