Feathering the Heart
Chapter 10
The judges for Chiang Cheng-tai's trial were Tang Yuxin and Min Tae-yeon.
This was the first time since Tang Yuxin came to this world that she was officially sitting in a courtroom instead of sitting in the audience.
The dutiful Prosecutor Min Tae-yeon was afraid that Tang Yuxin would be nervous since it was her first time sitting in a courtroom, so before the start of the trial, he opened his mouth and said a lot of things, which made Tang Yuxin very impatient and kept saying, "Okay, okay, I know." She clearly remembered that Prosecutor Min didn't say so much when Yu Jingren was in court for the first time.
Moreover, it wasn't her first time sitting in a courtroom!
In her previous life, she was the chief judge!
She was sitting in the seat that Min Tae-yeon was sitting in now!
Tang Yuxin stared at Min Tae-yeon's seat for a long time. The inexplicable meaning in her gaze made Min Tae-yeon's hair stand on end …
Since it wasn't her first time sitting in a courtroom, what happened next was, of course, much smoother than Min Tae-yeon expected.
Min Tae-yeon was deeply shocked when he saw Tang Yuxin's perfect performance in court. She didn't even show the slightest bit of nervousness, nor did he see that she was deliberately pretending to be nonchalant.
After Tang Yuxin submitted the relevant information to the judge, she started to list Chiang Cheng-tai's crimes. Chiang Cheng-tai didn't refute any of them and admitted to them one by one.
The people in the audience were amazed. Since the opening of the courtroom, they had never seen a criminal admit to his crimes so naturally. She didn't even say a word about the criminal's defense.
Wasn't this too fake?!
Did this female prosecutor bribe the criminal?!
This was the common thought in the audience's mind …
Of course, Tang Yuxin couldn't hear what others were thinking. After she told the truth, she asked Chiang Cheng-tai, "Chiang Cheng-tai, do you admit to your crime?"
His tone was as if he was a judge trying a case. The only thing missing was a gavel for Tang Yuxin to slap …
"I admit it." Chiang Cheng-tai, who was sitting at the side, said in an emotionless tone.
Tang Yuxin looked at Chiang Cheng-tai and curled her lips, revealing a smile that only she and Chiang Cheng-tai could understand. Then, she returned to Prosecutor Min's side.
At this moment, the people in the court began to shout in their hearts, 'So it was indeed discussed beforehand?!'
"I declare that the defendant, Chiang Cheng-tai, is guilty!"
With a bang, the chief judge slammed the gavel, deciding Chiang Cheng-tai's final fate.
"Aiyo, this case has finally come to an end …" Yu Jingren, who had returned to the special inspection team, stretched and said happily.
"Yes, it's finally over. Speaking of which, Prosecutor Min, I'll give you the expenses for this trip later. Please sign here so that I can reimburse you." After Tang Yuxin finished speaking, she took out a stack of bills from her pocket and threw them on the table.
"…"
"Speaking of which, Prosecutor Tang's performance in court today was pretty good. It didn't seem like it was her first time in court."
Hwang Sun-beom obviously also noticed Tang Yuxin's perfect performance today, so he generously praised Tang Yuxin.
"Haha, thanks for the compliment. It'll get better after a few more times."
Tang Yuxin said modestly, but in her heart, she was still thinking about the position of the chief judge. This kid wants to usurp the position, Prosecutor Min's job is in danger …
"Dong-man, what are you looking at?"
Yu Jingren had noticed Choi Dong-man sitting in her seat, fiddling with the computer with a focused expression ever since she entered the room.
"I think I might have found something incredible. Come and take a look!" Choi Dong-man waved at the crowd.
Hence, the crowd walked over and took a look at the computer screen that Dong-man had been staring at. Then, an incredulous expression appeared on their faces.
"No way, Dong-man, you actually …" Yu Jingren pointed at the computer screen in disbelief.
"I never knew that Dong-man's age range for choosing a romantic partner was actually at this age?!" Police Officer Hwang Sun-beom also said in a horrified tone.
Tang Yuxin was the last to walk over. She glanced at the computer screen, and her eyes dimmed slightly. Then, she asked, "Is this the thing in Chiang Cheng-tai's computer?"
The reason why she used a certain tone was because the computer screen was displaying Oh Young-ran's photo.
"Look at Prosecutor Tang!!
I really don't know what's going on in your heads every day! "
You can even come up with such an inference?!! "Cui Dongwan felt understanding and tolerance from Tang Yushen, and his little universe immediately exploded.
"Did you give Chiang Cheng-tai's hard drive to Dong-man?"
Min Tae-yeon originally wanted to go upstairs, but he saw that everyone was making a fuss about nothing, so he went down the stairs and walked to Tang Yuxin's side.
"Well, this can also be used as evidence. I also gave the mobile phone to Dong-man because the last few photos of Yoo Seon-hee were obviously uploaded using a mobile phone," Tang Yuxin said as she pointed at the low-resolution photos.
"Why are all the photos of Oh Young-ran here? Isn't she Chiang Cheng-tai's sister-in-law?" Officer Huang asked.
"Could it be that the two of them …" Yu Jingren asked with uncertainty.
"Sigh, people, no matter how bad they are, will still have weak spots in their hearts …" Tang Yuxin did not directly answer the two of them. She just let out a long sigh.
"What does Prosecutor Tang mean by this?" Choi Dong-man, who was at the side, looked away from the computer screen and asked.
"Let's try to think in a good and pure direction, okay?"
Tang Yuxin did not know what to say. You said that Chiang Cheng-tai liked Oh Young-ran?
Of course, he liked her. Was it because of gratitude or love?
Oh Young-ran was good to Chiang Cheng-tai because she liked him?
Love?
Who could say for sure about this kind of thing?
Presumably, no one could say …
However, Tang Yuxin's words made the already confused crowd even more confused. In the end, it was Hwang Sun-beom who broke the headache first and said, "Didn't we agree to go for dinner?
Everyone hasn't had dinner yet, right?
Since it's over, let's go! "
"Oh right!
If Officer Huang didn't mention it, I would have forgotten. I'll leave as soon as I'm done. "After that, Choi Dong-man started to turn off the computer and organize his things.
"Eh?
Don't you need to report to Minister Zhang? "Yu Jingren wondered.
"Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Min Tae-yeon saw that everyone was ready to go, so he no longer worried about the report.
Since Min Jian had spoken, Yu Jingren naturally had no objections. He shrugged his shoulders, packed up his things, and joined the ranks of those who were ready to go.
So, the special inspection team drove out of the office building. The group of people talked and laughed as they went down the stairs at the door and ran in the direction of the parking lot. They did not notice that there was a woman lurking on the road they were about to pass.
"B * tch!
Give me back my cousin! "
Before anyone could react to where the voice came from, Oh Young-ran had already stabbed a knife into Tang Yuxin's body …
Tang Yuxin was stunned by the knife. It was not because of pain or shock, but because she seemed to have seen this scene before. The place where she was stabbed was so familiar …
"Yuxin!"
Min Tae-yeon flashed over and pushed Oh Young-ran to the ground. He held Tang Yuxin's shoulder.
Hwang Sun-beom and Choi Dong-man immediately pressed Oh Young-ran to the ground.
"Yuxin!"
Min Tae-yeon did not dare to pull out the knife. He was afraid that the blood loss would be faster. However, what made Min Tae-yeon curious was why Tang Yuxin's eyes and teeth were still normal.
"Prosecutor Tang!"
Yu Jingren called the personnel on duty at the entrance of the examination hall to take Oh Young-ran away. Then, she quickly ran to Tang Yuxin's side.
Min Tae-yeon was a little worried as he moved Tang Yuxin's head closer to him. What if she revealed her vampire form later?
"Yuxin?" Looking at the still silent Tang Yuxin, Min Tae-yeon instantly panicked. What the hell is going on?!
Tang Yuxin came back to her senses after hearing the shout. She looked around and breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she said something that made everyone very puzzled, "Fortunately, I'm still here …"
In the next moment, Tang Yuxin regretted that she came back to her senses. Damn, it really hurt!
She knew that sometimes women should not be underestimated. Some things called adrenaline should not be underestimated. However, the combination of women and adrenaline was simply the best!
Why was she always so unlucky because of this …
"What did you say — I'll take her to the hospital first!"
Before Min Tae-yeon could finish the first half of his sentence, he had no choice but to carry Tang Yuxin horizontally and rush to the parking lot. The reason why he was in such a hurry was that Tang Yuxin's vampire form had finally revealed itself …
Yu Jingren was shocked by Min Tae-yeon's sudden change. Then, she felt that this scene seemed familiar.
"At least … stab the knife first …" Tang Yuxin, who was being carried, said weakly. Then, she reached out and pulled out the knife.
"Can you have some common sense, Prosecutor Tang Yuxin!"
Min Tae-yeon, who was running, had no time to stop Tang Yuxin's actions. He could only shout, "Stab the knife, the blood will flow faster!"
"Ah … I forgot …"
Tang Yuxin obviously also realized that after pulling out the knife, her life force was draining faster. Her mind was becoming more and more confused, and her throat was burning more and more. The smell of the pedestrians on the street was enough to drive her crazy, but she was too weak to move.
Fortunately, there was still a piece of food that smelled good beside him.
Tang Yushen was probably really confused. At this moment, she could only see a white neck swaying in front of her. What was strange was that his mouth was always at the same distance from hers.
But forget it, these things were not something she could understand at this moment. Anyway, she did not need to understand, right?
So, without Tang Yuxin knowing, her hands unconsciously wrapped around Min Tae-yeon's neck. She revealed her sharp teeth and bit down on the white neck in front of her!
Min Tae-yeon, who was running, felt a pain in his neck. He staggered and almost fell out with Tang Yuxin in his arms.
"…" Min Tae-yeon turned his head with a dark face. He glanced at Tang Yuxin, who was burying her head in his neck, from the corner of his eyes. He was contemplating whether or not he should explode.
Tang Yuxin, who had just drank a mouthful of blood, felt her state of motion change from uniform to static. She looked up curiously and saw Min Tae-yeon looking at her with a dark expression …
