Chapter 463: Chapter 463

Her words threw the entire crowd into an uproar.

"The physical evidence was faked, and the witnesses were paid?"

"Holy shit! Does that bastard Lin Jiji really think his money lets him do whatever he wants and play us all for fools?"

"That scumbag! Ever since his scandals broke, I suspected there was more to this business with Doctor Chen. I figured some of it was true and some was false; after all, you have to mix truth with lies to seem as confident as Lin Jiji did. But I never imagined it was all a fabrication. That guy’s confidence was a complete act."

As the crowd’s jeers grew louder, Lin Jiji’s expression became increasingly ugly.

’Brother Wei’s betrayal had caught him by surprise, but after calming down to think about it, he realized it was to be expected.’

’After all, in his eyes, Brother Wei was just a low-level thug. People like that had no integrity or morals.’

’And as for Anna and the others, they were just ordinary people.’

’Logically, they had no reason to stand up to him, nor would they dare.’

’He had observed them all carefully. Anna, for instance, was frail and petite—she looked timid and meek. And the middle-aged woman next to her seemed simple-minded and greedy, the uncultured type who could be easily bought off with some petty gain.’

’So why had Anna suddenly stood up?’

Lin Jiji couldn’t make heads or tails of it, but he had no time to dwell on it now. Feeling the weight of everyone’s stares, he ground his teeth and retorted, "Lies! This woman is spouting utter nonsense! I never bribed her, and I certainly didn’t give her any money or so-called ’evidence’."

"If you didn’t give it to her, then where did she get that evidence?" Chenyang asked with a mocking smile.

"She... She was probably one of your plants! Someone you bribed beforehand to mix in with the real witnesses..."

Seeing Lin Jiji stammer, Chenyang pounced on his words. "I had her infiltrate the witnesses to frame... myself?"

Lin Jiji’s lips twitched. He knew that excuse wouldn’t hold water, so he quickly changed his tune. "No, I mean you just bribed her right now."

Chenyang scoffed. "You’ve been watching me like a hawk this entire time, and I’m still in handcuffs. What exactly would I bribe her with?"

"You..."

Before Lin Jiji could retort, Anna suddenly spoke up. "First of all, I wasn’t bribed by Chenyang. Second, even if he did want to bribe us, he might be able to buy off me or one other person, but he couldn’t possibly buy off all of us, could he?"

"What do you mean?"

"My meaning is simple. Right now, we, the people who supposedly provided the evidence, are all going to stand up and expose you. And at the same time, we’re going to confess our wrongdoing and hope for leniency!"

The moment Anna finished speaking, the people standing next to her all glanced toward Zhang Hongtu and Lin Yongkun. Then, one by one, they described how Lin Jiji had bought them off and what he had given them in return.

By the time they had all finished speaking, Lin Jiji’s face had gone completely pale.

But what he didn’t know was that it wasn’t over yet.

Anna then turned to the so-called "victim" witnesses. "I know some of you are actual victims or their family members, but others have nothing to do with yesterday’s car accident at all, do you?

Don’t bother denying it. I’m not interested in figuring out which of you are the real victims. Right now, I just want to speak from the heart. Chenyang is a good doctor. I’ve suffered from a congenital disease since I was a child, and for over a decade, I was tormented by my illness.

Chenyang is the one who saved me and freed me from that pain. I believe I’m not the only one here he has saved. I want everyone he’s ever helped to search their hearts and think about this. Chenyang saved you or your family members. Even if it wasn’t a matter of life and death, he eased their suffering and kept their conditions from worsening or even killing them.

For that alone, you should be grateful. Instead, you’re helping a monster like Lin Jiji slander and hurt him. Even if you got some money out of it, can you really spend it with a clear conscience? Doesn’t your conscience bother you at all for doing this?"

At her words, the expressions on the faces of the "victim" witnesses softened, and many looked visibly moved.

At that moment, Lin Yongkun also spoke up, recounting how Chenyang had pulled him back from death’s door. Furthermore, Zhang Hongtu added the story of how Chenyang had saved someone’s life in an ambulance, even while being publicly condemned and slandered.

After hearing all this, those witnesses could no longer stay silent.

"I was wrong."

"Doctor Chen saved my son, yet I slandered him over a few hundred yuan. I’m a terrible person, a truly terrible person."

"It was Lin Jiji! Lin Jiji gave us money and threatened us! I... I shouldn’t have done it. I’ll testify against him! I confess!"

Many people had already seen the news online about the physical evidence. And now, the witnesses were also coming forward with the truth, one by one.

It was now crystal clear that Chenyang had been framed.
