Part Three, Chapter 117, Case 5

ntrance of the residential complex. 。"Well, the colleagues at the law firm..." 。"You are not single now, so you should keep your distance from male colleagues. It's best to avoid misunderstandings."..."As soon as she saw some of your earliest speaking videos at the foundation, she knew who you were."

She's from the village next door. She'd heard about Wang Family's affairs and yours before. This time, she asked me to contact you. As long as I can be of help, I will definitely do so.

After listening, Chen Ling was surprised to find that the seemingly dead-end situation had suddenly taken a turn for the better; she never expected that a simple act of kindness she had shown earlier would come back to her in such a way. She felt deeply moved.

Song Jingye asked calmly, "What do you all know"

Wu Jian said without any reservation: "The eldest of the Wang family is simply driven mad by poverty and wants money. Their third son has been a fool since childhood. They bought him a wife, not because they were kind to him, but because they wanted to buy a woman back to wait on him so they wouldn't have to take care of him anymore. When Wang Lao San died, the Wang family was probably over the moon, finally rid of this burden. Now that Wang Lao Da sees you are doing well, he wants to extort money from you."

So, back then when Wang Laosan died, no one called the police, right

"Don't even bother reporting it, the person is dead. We buried them the same day."

"Do you know anything else" Chen Ling asked again. What Wu Jian had said so far matched her guess, but it didn't help her in proving he was a murderer.

"That's all for now. I'll have my wife ask around with her friends about what happened back then. Rest assured, your business is my business. I'll definitely repay this life-saving debt." Wu Jian said confidently and grandly.

Thank you.

After the three finished their meal, they bid farewell to Wu Jian. As they watched his departing figure, both felt a sense of mixed emotions. Regardless of whether they could truly be of help, at least it was an opportunity.

After that, Song Jingye asked her, "Want to go for a walk"

"Sounds good."

The two walked hand-in-hand along the sidewalk outside the hotel.

This city could easily be called their second home.

Song Jingye has worked here for many years, while Chen Ling's life started anew in this city. Every street and every scene here carries her dreams and her sweet yet bittersweet love affairs.

"When I left here after the college entrance exam, I was so happy, thinking I could finally spread my wings and fly high. But I hadn't expected that years later, my wings would be broken again, and I would be pushed back to where I started." She suddenly sighed with emotion.

Song Jingye: “You've flown high enough, take a break now, so that you can fly even farther in the future.”

"Maybe. Uncle, guess what my biggest feeling was when I heard Wu Jian say he was going to help me"

"What is it"

"Don't you think it's amazing how you seem to meet influential people everywhere you go"

It's a bit esoteric, she smiled after saying that.

Song Jingye also smiled, suddenly pulled her into his arms, and whispered in her ear: "Smile more often in the future."

He likes her current attitude; there's nothing she can't get over, and she can always face anything with a joking mindset.

"Okay."

After returning to Beijing, as they had expected, the procuratorial organs quickly filed a case. The man submitted materials, including the stone she used to smash someone that year and a local police department's autopsy report.

It will probably take about half a month before the trial begins.

For the past two weeks, Chen Ling has been very calm inside. Her work at her company has been indefinitely delayed, so besides eating, sleeping, and exercising every day, she would also think about any new developments and send them to Lawyer Shu, because as the trial hasn't started yet, she returned to Senzhou first.

During this time, Song's mother had visited her once and invited her to have a meal at the Song family home. She gladly agreed to go.

No matter what Song Mu said, because she was Song Jingye's mother, she always loved her dearly and couldn't bear any resentment towards her.

Song's mother's attitude had improved somewhat from before, at least she was polite to her and didn't speak harshly like she used to.

"In half a month, the trial will begin"

"Yes."

"Are you confident you can win this lawsuit"

"It should be fine." She has been communicating a lot with Lawyer Shu and another lawyer recently, and she is very confident.

After winning, what are your plans asked Song's mother.

Chen Ling was caught off guard by the question. She didn't dare to think about it. She wasn't sure if she could even return to her unit, and even if she did, there would be consequences.

Suddenly, she realized that Song's mother wasn't asking about her work, but about her relationship with Song Jingye.

She looked at Song's mother, and Song's mother looked back at her, as if in a standoff.

She did not answer that question.

Song's mother spoke first: "I guarantee that we will definitely win the lawsuit, and also about your job, I can guarantee you that you can go back to work normally and won't be affected at all."0 steps every day, she managed to control it pretty well.Gu Ruandong saw that she was starting to play the victim again, using his mother as a shield. He continued to make small talk, just refusing to...
