Meng Yan's Transformation

Chapter 272 Zhan Yingying's U-turn

"Look at how nervous and scared you are. You must be guilty. I asked your father what you were doing on the day Zhan Mengyan ran away from home. Your father is angry with me because I suspected you. If your father saw you like this, he would probably beat you to pieces. Kidnapping a girl and running away from home is a serious crime."

With Yunqing's buffering, Zhan Yu's words did not explode like thunderbolts in Zhang Xincheng's head as he imagined. But every word Zhan Yu said was like a nail nailed to him, and like a sharp arrow, it pierced his heart. His mind was in a mess, as if he was hit by a heavy hammer, unable to concentrate, and his heart was as heavy as a stone, pressing him to the point of being unable to breathe. At the same time, he felt that his dignity was violated, and he couldn't help feeling angry and dissatisfied.

Zhang Xincheng tried his best to suppress his emotions. He didn't want others to see his inner feelings.

"Dad, you are too arbitrary. You didn't see Zhang Xincheng take Zhan Mengyan away from home with your own eyes. How can you convict Zhang Xincheng of the crime of abducting Zhan Mengyan? There are no witnesses or physical evidence, but you convict people based on your guesses. If dad were the judge, how many cases would be wrongly convicted? There would be endless unjust, false and wrongful convictions."

Zhan Yingying pushed Zhang Xincheng, who was standing stiffly, back to sit on the edge of the kang, and talked to Zhan Yu freely, making people feel that she was a highly knowledgeable legal professional.

"Zhan Yingying, when we held a family meeting to discuss the issue of Zhan Mengyan sneaking away from home, you were the first one to suspect that Zhang Xincheng helped Zhan Mengyan escape. Why are you helping Zhang Xincheng to exonerate himself now?" Zhan Yu asked.

Zhan Yu felt incredible because Zhan Yingying's skeptical attitude towards Zhang Xincheng suddenly changed 100 degrees.

"Yes, after Mengyan ran away from home, you, Zhan Yingying, were the first to point out that it was Zhang Xincheng who helped Zhan Mengyan escape. You insisted on going to the blacksmith shop to question him and demand an explanation. If it wasn't for your father who stopped you in time, you would have gotten into trouble. Your father went to the blacksmith shop to ask your Uncle Zhang indirectly, and your Uncle Zhang almost had a falling out with your father. He said that Zhang Xincheng was an honest child, so how could he be involved in kidnapping girls! He also yelled at your father: He would turn against anyone who slandered his good son... and your father came back in disgrace."

Yunqing was also very puzzled by the change in Zhan Yingying's attitude. Thinking back to Zhan Yingying two months ago...

"I was so confused at that time, and my heart was blinded by greed. Losing my sister made me crazy. Today, when I went to the field to pull soybeans, Zhang Xincheng went to help push the donkey cart. I interrogated Zhang Xincheng to understand the situation and felt that we had wronged Zhang Xincheng. So when my father convicted Zhang Xincheng, I helped to clarify the facts. So as not to wrongly accuse a good person and make him feel disappointed. In fact, we don't need to worry about who helped Zhan Mengyan escape. Just think of it as a god pointing the way. Zhan Mengyan's road to study should not be cut off. If someone really helped Zhan Mengyan escape, he was a good person who did not want to leave a name and wanted to be an unknown hero. Let's not interrogate this and find evidence. Just fulfill the wish of the good person."

When Zhan Yingying spoke, she felt like a female knight who spoke up for justice. She stood in the middle of the room with her chest puffed out, looking heroic, as if all the righteousness in the world was concentrated on her.

Zhang Xincheng and Zhan Mengyan were also surprised by Zhan Yingying's performance.

Zhan Mengyan opened her mouth into a small circle, and stared at Zhan Yingying with eyes as big as bells. Her surprised expression made people laugh.

The expression on Zhang Xincheng's face changed from nervousness, anger, dissatisfaction to astonishment. In addition to being surprised, he seemed to be petrified and stood still again. The astonishment on his face was frozen in that moment, as if the whole world suddenly stopped in front of him, leaving only his stunned figure...
