Chapter 278: Chapter 278: Dongfang Young Master Returns_1

**************

“Clang——” The Judge’s gavel fell.

Then the judge’s authoritative voice rang out, “The court declares that Hai Xiaotang is guilty, the appeal is dismissed, uphold the original sentence!”

Hai Xiaotang abruptly looked up, her mind all of a sudden buzzing, total blankness.

Her memory instantly took her back to her past life!

The court declares that Hai Xiaotang is guilty of intentional homicide and is sentenced to death, with a stay of execution for 3 months…

The past was vivid before her eyes.

Hai Xiaotang still clearly remembered everything that happened on the day of her sentencing.

Today, she was sentenced again…

“No, no…” Hai Xiaotang shook her head, unable to accept it, her complexion as white as paper, breathing felt extremely difficult.

She didn’t want to go to jail, she didn’t want to return to that icy prison!

“No! I’m innocent, I’m innocent!” Hai Xiaotang screamed at the judge in an outburst of emotion.

But the judge just coldly ordered the police officers, “Take her away.”

Two female officers approached her, Hai Xiaotang’s eyes flickered with panic, her hands tightly clenched into fists!

The moment they gripped her, she wanted to struggle with all her might and scream!

But she knew, it would be futile!

She knew anything she did now would be in vain because she had been through it all, she knew it all…

But in this life, she was truly innocent!

“Xiaotang——” Hai Zhiyuan suddenly called her name in distress, Hai Xiaotang looked over, seeing her grandfather’s tear-filled eyes.

“Child, don’t be afraid, grandpa will save you.” he reassured her.

Hai Xiaotang pulled out a faint smile, and spoke with difficulty, “Grandpa, you don’t have to worry about me, I’m not scared, really. I believe I will be fine, don’t worry too much.”

The old man looked stunned, he hadn’t expected that at this stage she would be the one comforting him.

“Xiaotang, believe in Grandpa, you will be fine soon!” Hai Zhiyuan said with conviction.

Hai Xiaotang nodded, “I know…”

She knew she would be fine as long as her grandfather were alive, he would rescue her.

And, she was innocent to begin with, so it was not yet the time for total despair.

Moreover, Dongfang Yu would also help rescue her…

Hai Xiaotang knew they would all save her. Unlike her previous life, in this life, she truly hadn’t committed any wrongs.

But, back in the cold detention room, Hai Xiaotang was still terrified.

In her past life, she had a severe psychological trauma towards prison.

This life, she swore not to commit any wrongdoing, so that she would never end up here.

But alas, she ended up here…

However, she suppressed all the fear in her heart because fear served no purpose.

Hai Xiaotang curled up in a corner, she could only wait in silence, believing that her grandfather would find a way to get her out…

He will definitely find a way!

After Hai Zhiyuan and the others left, they set to work immediately.

Even though he had a wide network and significant power in the past, he couldn’t do anything illegal. The only option was to work within the confines of the law to save Hai Xiaotang.

But during this time, they had tried all they could think of. If there was a way, Hai Xiaotang wouldn’t have been sentenced to a crime today.

But no matter what, they would not give up on saving Hai Xiaotang.

Hai Rong and his wife were asking everyone they knew for help. Hai Lan had also started to seek solutions.

Hai Zhiyuan sat in his study, making one phone call after another, even forgetting about dinner.

Right when he was about to hit the wall, his housekeeper suddenly came in with joyful news: “Master, Young Master Dongfang has returned!”
