Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The news of what happened at the banquet quickly spread. Jiang An had no intention of hiding it. All the major media outlets reported it. Although they did not say who it was, with the vague hints from the people present at that time, everyone understood the ins and outs.

For a moment, there was a discussion about this banquet on the Internet. People tended to favor people they were familiar with, not to mention that Jiang An was very popular.

Even if they weren’t her fans, they had seen her work, and the families in Sea City were instantly infamous.

Moreover, Jiang An had revealed what Wu Xue had done when the attention was at its peak. This was a huge matter that shocked the entire country.

Wu Xue’s parents originally wanted to save their daughter, so they found many people to pressure the police. Even if they couldn’t let their daughter out, at least they could reduce the punishment.

However, no one dared to help if it was exposed on the Internet. In this new media era, no one wanted to go against the public’s comments. They would only lose.

There was no way to publicize Wu Xue’s matter yet because in the end, she was in the wrong. It was better not to get involved.

The public felt endless pity for the life of the young girl. Naturally, they were very angry at Wu Xue’s actions and posted to condemn such behavior.

In the end, the police station could only do business. The Wu family was helpless.

Zou Bai was very clear about what Jiang An had done. Moreover, he did not provide any help and let her handle it herself.

In his opinion, An’an could do anything. He just had to stand behind her and support her. If there were any holes he would help fill them, she had to have a chance to practice after learning how to be a family head for so long.

Fortunately, Jiang An did a good job, even better than Zou Bai had expected.

“That girl’s parents came forward to sue Wu Xue,” Zou Bai said as he looked at the phone screen.

Jiang An said, “I can imagine that. When Wu Xue’s mother called them, she was scolded immediately.”

That girl had a pair of parents who loved her and were willing to do anything to avenge her.

Zou Bai hugged her. “What do you want to do next?”

Even though Wu Xue had been arrested, she had not really killed anyone. Even if she was not sentenced for long, Zou Bai felt that Jiang An would definitely not let this matter rest.

Jiang An let herself nestle in Zou Bai’s arms. “Wu Xue was able to get to where she was today because of her family’s power. If the Wu family is worthless, even if she is released after serving her sentence, she will only suffer for the rest of her life.”

She was used to spending money like dirt. It would be even worse than killing her.

When Jiang An was in the Tan family, she had to do many things herself in order to survive. She also had to take care of the three people from the Tan family. Even if the Tan family did not lack a nanny, her tuition fees were cut off when she entered university.

She had relied on her own hard work to work day and night during the holiday before school started. That was how she had barely managed to gather tuition fees for a semester and persevered through half-work and half-study.

Therefore, Jiang An understood what it was like to risk your life to survive. It was a feeling that was worse than death.

Since Wu Xue had taken someone else’s life, she should be living a life worse than death.

Jiang An took out her phone and made a call. “Second Brother, I need your help with something.”

Wu Xue’s case was quickly handed over to Jiang Xun, but on the surface, it was still handed over to others to supervise. He asked Wu Xue’s parents for a large amount of money.

With Jiang Xun as the backer, he was fearless when he asked for money. He was not afraid of being discovered at all.

Wu Xue’s parents were deceived by this attitude. They thought that he was being legitimate and gave as much as he wanted. Of course, in the end, the money was given to the orphanage.

In the end, what he wanted was not money, but the Wu family’s shares and real estate. For their daughter, Wu Xue’s parents happily gave it over.

When Jiang An heard this, she revealed a mocking smile. “They’ve realized there is no other way for them to be giving money so readily. However, the way they love their daughter is to let someone else’s daughter die. How unique.”

With Jiang Xun behind the scenes, he quickly squeezed Wu Xue’s parents dry of their money and even began to borrow money from the others in the Wu family.

Although they were relatives, they were not fools. They could tell that they wanted to use the money to save their daughter. It was obvious that they could not do it. Of course, they could not agree to lend money.

Wu Xue’s parents had emptied all their savings and could only watch helplessly as their daughter was locked up. Jiang Yan was personally a litigator, and Jiang An was adding fuel to the fire behind the scenes. The verdict of this case was quickly completed.

Wu Xue was finally sentenced to five years in prison, which was the longest sentence she could get.

Many people were dissatisfied with this result. The parents who had lost the girl could not accept it at all and wanted to continue appealing.

However, under Jiang Yan’s persuasion, they accepted this outcome. They knew that Wu Xue was about to face true hell..
