Atlas StudiosThe long and intense court trial ended after two hours.
Xu Mengjie analyzed the scuffle that took place between Luo Anning and Ou Lixue before the latter fell off the roof, and stated her logical viewpoints with perfect jargon. She then deduced that Ou Lixue was emotionally unstable.

Ou Lixue had been hypnotized at the start, and thus had her mind controlled by Wang Chan. At last, she ended up dying to release the tension within her.
Wang Chan, Luo Xinya and Li Yang were also charged in court.
Since there was concrete evidence to prove Wang Chan and Li Yang guilty, they could not deny it at all. Their lawyers had no choice, but to play the sympathy card and help them fight for a lighter sentence.
Luo Xinya was the mastermind of the entire incident and both Wang Chan and Li Yang had admitted that she was the one who instigated them to hypnotize Ou Lixue by bribing them with money. Hence, Wang Chan and Li Yang were merely accomplices of the mastermind, Luo Xinya.
However, they were both guilty!
Luo Zhiquan hit the roof when he found out that Luo Xinya was the one who devised everything. However, he still could not bear to ruin his daughter.
Hence, he spent a bomb on hiring a famous and reputable American-Chinese to defend Luo Xinya. Due to the fact that there had been reports of Luo Xinya taking drugs, they used her drug addiction as a defense, and claimed that it was not Luo Xinya’s intention to devise the scheme.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey claimed that the effects of the drugs had ruled her head and made her hallucinate.
However, the judge rejected the lawyer’s plea because they could not produce evidence to prove that Luo Xinya was unconscious when she committed the crime. Furthermore, Wang Yan and Li Yang also confessed that Luo Xinya was the one who instigated them. The logic and reasoning were clear and hence, it did not seem like Luo Xinya had killed someone because of the effects of drugs.
“Intentional homicide refers to the act of deliberately and illegally depriving others of their rights to live. It is a crime that infringes on personal rights and in our nation, it is also one of the worst crimes. Article 232 of the Criminal Law of China stipulates that those who intentionally commit murder shall be sentenced to death, life imprisonment or imprisonment of more than ten years. In less serious cases, those who have been found guilty shall be sentenced to imprisonment of three to ten years. Luo Anning is proven to be innocent and free of manslaughter, while Wang Chan and Li Yang are the accomplices who have directly or indirectly led to the death of the victim, Ou Lixue. Luo Xinya’s intention of murder was deliberate and she had devised a serious scheme which has a severe social impact. I hereby declare that the accused, Luo Anning, is not convicted for manslaughter and will be released in court... The accused, Luo Xinya, is convicted for deliberate murder. The crime is serious and she is sentenced to 11 years of imprisonment ...”
Luo Anning was released as an innocent party as soon as the trial was over. When her handcuffs were released, Lu Momo rushed forth and hugged her tightly.
Lu Momo exclaimed agitatedly, “Ah! Little Anning, you’re alright. Your name has finally been cleared. Congratulations! I’ll give you a sweet kiss in celebration of you being free of any charges.”
Luo Anning wiped the saliva off her face and guffawed before chiding, “Lu Momo, you’re so disgusting. Look, look, your saliva is all over my face.”
“Hehe, I like it. I’m happy! Little Anning, you finally don’t have to be called a murderer. You’re free to live now!” Lu Momo chuckled.
