After Transmigrating into a book, I Was Played By a Black Lotus

Chapter 20: The Room

"Qiao Zijing has a mental illness?"

Upon hearing this news from her assistant, Lin Xingzhu was momentarily stunned, then looked at the case report with a cold smile.

"Isn't this diagnosis just a ploy to escape punishment?"

The original story had never mentioned Qiao Zijing having a mental illness; on the contrary, she was quite mentally sound.

"Does Qiao Song really think this lie can hold up?" Lin Xingzhu closed the case report she had flipped through and asked the person standing in front of her desk.

"He knows," the assistant replied, lowering his head. "But I heard Qiao Song was under some pressure, so he had someone conduct the examination for Qiao Zijing."

Lin Xingzhu stood up, crossing her arms as she looked out the window, her gaze following a bird flying across the sky, then cast a distant glance opposite her.

"The Qiao family has intermarried with the Zhao family," she murmured softly.

So this pressure must have come from the Zhao family.

And that was indeed the case.

At this moment, Qiao Song had just hung up the phone, his face dark as a storm cloud.

Huang Mingyun looked at him with concern, her gentle face unable to hide her worry. "Will this really save Zijing?"

Qiao Song scoffed. "If the Zhao family truly cared, they wouldn't be acting like this now!"

Huang Mingyun's eyes flickered. "It's all my fault; I didn't take care of Zijing, and now she's made such a mistake..."

Remembering his ex-wife, who was living freely outside, Qiao Song's expression darkened, and his tone was harsh. "You don't need to blame yourself; her own mother isn't caring for her. You've done well enough."

He had long been dissatisfied with his rebellious daughter, who was always opposing him. He had more than one child!

Thinking about the recent negotiations with the Lin family, Qiao Song's eyes dimmed. "The diagnosis report is out, and I've done everything I needed to."

As for whether Lin would believe it or not, he didn't care.

Lin Xingzhu and Bai Xiying naturally didn't believe it.

Understanding Qiao Song's intentions, Lin Xingzhu promptly sent someone to conduct another mental evaluation for Qiao Zijing, and the results showed that there were no issues. This time, the Qiao family had little reaction.

Although the Qiao family had decided to give up on Qiao Zijing, they still maintained appearances by hiring several lawyers to defend her.

This tug-of-war lasted nearly half a month. With Lin Xingzhu's tireless efforts, they hired the best lawyers, and ultimately, Qiao Zijing was sentenced to ten years for attempted sexual assault.

This was the maximum punishment Lin Xingzhu could secure based on the law; she didn't give Qiao Song a chance to meddle.
