Daily Intelligence: Forced to Save the Beautiful President at the Beginning

189: Chapter 190 The Internet Celebrity’s Breakdown and Confession in Court!The bell marking the end of the one-hour recess had just rung, and the courtroom of the Jiangcheng Intermediate Court fell back into a dead silence. The crowd in the gallery reseated themselves, their gazes collectively focusing on the courtroom entrance—everyone knew that the upcoming cross-examination would determine the direction of this lawsuit.

At the prosecution table, Chen Mo flipped through documents with a grim expression, his fingertips unconsciously brushing against the paper, clearly still anxious over Zhang Cheng’s downfall. Meanwhile, at the defense table, Wang Jingdong was calmly organizing his evidence bags, a confident smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

”Court is now in session!” The Presiding Judge struck the gavel and scanned the room. ”Defense, are you ready to call your next witness?”

”Presiding Judge, the defense requests to summon the second witness—Xiao Ya—to the stand.” Wang Jingdong rose, his voice clear and powerful.

The courtroom doors were pushed open again. Xiao Ya entered wearing a white dress, her face adorned with delicate makeup that couldn’t hide the panic in her eyes. As she walked in, she instinctively avoided the gazes from the gallery, her fingers tightly twisting the hem of her dress. When she sat down at the witness stand, the chair even let out a slight creak from her trembling.

”Witness Xiao Ya, did you, on [Date], 2024, release statements via a livestreaming platform claiming that ’Li Yong is suspected of practicing medicine illegally and harassing women’?” Wang Jingdong asked first, his tone calm yet carrying an unavoidable pressure.

Xiao Ya clenched her fingers, her eyes darting around. ”Yes... but everything I said was true! Li Yong doesn’t have a medical license, and he tried to get fresh with me. I have ’notes’ to prove it...”

”Your ’notes’ have already been verified by us.” Wang Jingdong didn’t wait for her to finish, raising his hand to signal his assistant to play something on the large screen. ”Those so-called ’medical notes’ were written on paper manufactured last year, yet they record ’medical experiences’ from three years ago. Furthermore, the content of the notes was ghostwritten by an intern from the Tianhua Group’s Legal Department. Is this your so-called ’evidence’?”

Two comparison images immediately popped up on the screen—one was the testing report for the paper of Xiao Ya’s ’notes,’ marked with ’Production Date: March 2024’; the other was the handwriting of the Tianhua Group intern, which perfectly matched the handwriting in the ’notes.’ Xiao Ya’s face instantly turned deathly pale, her lips trembling, unable to utter a single word of rebuttal.

”It seems you need more direct evidence.” Wang Jingdong’s tone suddenly became sharp. ”Please play the third piece of evidence submitted by the defense—the surveillance video.”

The image on the large screen shifted to a high-definition dashcam video. In the video, Wang Haoyu sat in the driver’s seat, holding a thick stack of cash. With a ’thwack,’ he slapped it against the face of Xiao Ya, who was in the passenger seat, sending bills scattering everywhere. Wang Haoyu’s voice carried an arrogant threat: ”Take this five hundred thousand. Tomorrow, during your livestream, say exactly what I taught you—say Li Yong got handsy with you and that his herbs are fake! If you dare miss a single word, I’ll leak all your old ’hostess’ photos and chat logs with rich second-generation heirs, making sure you can never show your face in Jiangcheng again!”

In the video, Xiao Ya picked up the money with a fawning smile. ”Don’t worry, Young Master Wang! I’ll definitely do as you say! I’ll make sure Li Yong’s reputation is completely ruined!”

The video wasn’t long, only about a minute, but it was like a thunderclap exploding inside the courtroom!

”Holy sh*t! So the Wang family paid her to spread rumors!”

”That’s disgusting! She sold her soul for money!”

”She was acting so pitiful before, but now it turns out she’s just a gold-digging fraud!”

Although Xiao Ya had been exposed online previously, hearing it with their own ears caused the gallery to erupt in curses, and the livestream comments were instantly flooded with angry remarks.
