The city was shrouded in darkness, and the noise gradually subsided. However, in a certain bar, there was a strong sense of sadness and despair. Ye Chen slumped on the sofa, holding the bottle tightly in his hand, his eyes blurred and painful. Meiyuan, wearing a sexy short skirt, looked at Ye Chen with concern, trying to stop him from drinking.

"Ye Chen, stop drinking. You will die if you drink any more." Meiyuan said anxiously.

"Bring...bring...some wine!" Ye Chen's tongue was a little tied, and he had obviously drunk too much.

"Tell me, Meiyuan, why is my life so damn bad? Grandpa has liked Ye Chen since he was a child. Even when he grew up, he still valued him and passed the throne to Ye Chen to inherit the family business." Ye Chen's words were full of unwillingness and resentment.

"Ye Chen, don't be so pessimistic. Life is still long. As long as you have the green mountains, you will have no fear of running out of firewood." Meiyuan comforted him softly.

"Damn Qingshan, my only support, my mother is about to be shot!" Ye Chen said, breaking down and crying. Meiyuan was at a loss for a moment and could only pat Ye Chen's shoulder gently.

After a moment, Meiyuan seemed to suddenly think of something and said, "How about we go and plead with Meizi and Ye Chen to withdraw the lawsuit, or plead with the judge."

Ye Chen felt as if he had found a life-saving straw after hearing Meizi's words. He immediately stopped crying, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his eyes: "Yes, let's go find them."

The two hurriedly left the bar and headed towards Ye Chen and Meizi's office. At this time, Ye Chen and Meizi were working overtime in the office to read the development documents. The lights in the office were on, revealing a sense of tranquility.

"Who is it? Why aren't you sleeping so late at night?" Meizi and Ye Chen were disturbed by the knock on the door, feeling a little unhappy.

When they opened the door and saw Meiyuan and Ye Chen kneeling on the ground, Meizi opened her mouth in surprise: "Meiyuan, Ye Chen, it's you? What are you doing here in the middle of the night? Don't mess around!"

"Meizi, since I'm your sister, we beg you to let Aunt Manny go!" Meizi Ye Chen said crying.

"What are you doing? You should know that she used drugs, made drugs, and hid drugs. According to the law, it is a felony punishable by death!" Ye Chen said loudly with a serious expression.

Meiyuan and Ye Chen cried and said, "As long as you show mercy, you can spare our lives."

"It's ridiculous! We can't change the law!" Miko said helplessly.

Ye Chen suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of pleading: "Ye Chen, we grew up together. Although we have had conflicts, you must help me this time. I know my mother did something wrong, but she is my mother after all. I can't watch her being executed."

Ye Chen frowned and fell into deep thought. Meizi looked at Ye Chen and said softly: "Ye Chen, this is indeed a difficult problem. Manni's crime is indeed serious, but they are also very pitiful now."

Ye Chen sighed: "I understand your feelings, but the law is serious and we cannot interfere with the judiciary at will. Moreover, Manni's behavior has hurt many people. If we let her go easily, it will be unfair to the victim."

Meiyuan said anxiously: "We can try to get Aunt Manni to reform herself in prison and try to get her sentence reduced. Or we can go find a lawyer and see if there are other ways."

Ye Chen shook his head: "It's not that easy to reduce the sentence, and Manni's crime is indeed very serious. As for finding a lawyer, I think it will be difficult to change the current situation."

Just when everyone was in a stalemate, the phone in the office suddenly rang. Ye Chen answered the phone, his face gradually became solemn. After hanging up the phone, Ye Chen looked at everyone and said slowly: "I just received news that someone is secretly working and seems to want to get Manni out of prison."

Meizi was surprised and said, "How could this happen? Isn't this blatantly illegal?"

Ye Chen and Mei Yuan looked at each other, with a complicated look in their eyes. Ye Chen said, "Someone must want to help us because of my family's power."

Ye Chen said seriously: "This kind of behavior is absolutely not allowed. We must adhere to the bottom line of the law and not let this kind of thing happen. Meizi nodded and agreed that criminals must not go unpunished.

However, Ye Chen and Mei Yuan did not seem to think so. They secretly planned how to use this opportunity to let Manni escape the punishment of the law. On the surface, they pretended to be kind and continued to plead with Ye Chen and Mei Yuan, but in fact they were secretly planning other ways.

"You are such hypocritical gentlemen, you just watch someone die without helping!" Ye Chen stood up and dragged Meiyuan away angrily.

The atmosphere in the solemn courtroom was heavy and solemn. The trial of Manni's drug manufacturing, drug use, and drug possession opened. Many reporters had been waiting inside and outside the courtroom, and flashlights flashed from time to time. Ye Chen, Meizi, Meiyuan, and Ye Chen were sitting in the audience, and everyone had a very complicated expression.

The judge struck the gavel and the trial officially began. The prosecutor spoke first and presented Manni's criminal evidence one by one in court. The evidence was irrefutable and the situation was extremely unfavorable to Manni.

Prosecutor: "The defendant Manni is suspected of manufacturing, using and hiding drugs. The evidence is irrefutable. Her actions have seriously endangered social security and she should be severely punished according to law."

Manny's face was pale, and her eyes revealed a trace of despair. Her defense lawyer tried hard to defend her, but seemed a little powerless in the face of the mountain of evidence.

Defense attorney: "Your Honor, my client Manny is innocent, and these so-called evidences cannot conclusively prove her guilt."

The prosecutor sneered and continued to list the evidence. The atmosphere in the courtroom became increasingly tense.

Just when everyone thought that Manny was doomed to die, the door of the court was suddenly pushed open, and a mysterious barrister walked in with new evidence and witnesses.

Mysterious lawyer: "Your Honor, I have new evidence and witnesses that can prove that Manny is innocent."

The whole audience was in an uproar. Reporters raised their cameras to take pictures, and people in the audience also looked surprised.

Judge: "Please present new evidence and witnesses."

The mysterious barrister first showed a video in which a person who looked very similar to Manny was shown making, using and hiding drugs.

Mysterious lawyer: "Your Honor, this video can prove that the real criminal is this person who looks like Manny, and my client Manny is unaware of this."

Then, a witness came to testify. The witness was an eyewitness who had seen the man who looked like Manny committing a crime.

Witness: "I saw with my own eyes that person who looked very similar to Manny was making drugs. Manny was not at the scene at all."

Prosecutors raised questions about the new evidence and witnesses.

Prosecutor: "This may be fabricated evidence, and the witnesses may have been bribed."

The mysterious lawyer did not back down and engaged in a heated debate with the prosecutor.

Mysterious lawyer: "My evidence is true and reliable, and the witnesses testified out of conscience. If the prosecutor has any questions, he can investigate and verify."

The atmosphere in the courtroom reached a fever pitch, with both sides arguing back and forth.

Finally, after careful consideration, the judge declared Manny not guilty.

Judge: "In light of the new evidence and witnesses, this court declares the defendant Manni not guilty."

Manni was stunned for a moment, then a haughty look appeared on her face. She slowly stood up and looked at Meizi and Ye Chen provocatively.

Manny: "Humph, what do you think you can do to me? Now you see, I, Manny, am not that easy to deal with."

Meiko stood up angrily.

Meizi: "Manny, don't be complacent. I've let you escape the punishment of the law this time, but your crime will be exposed one day."

Ye Chen also looked gloomy.

Ye Chen: "Manny, what kind of forces are behind you helping you? But justice will not always be absent."

Manny sneered.

Manny: "Justice? In this world, strength is everything. Just wait and see."

After that, Manny walked out of the court under the protection of the mysterious lawyer. Ye Chen and Meizi fell into deep thought. They realized that the power behind Manny should not be underestimated, and this storm was far from over.
