Therefore, Ling Yiran got back to the ward to whisper the matter to Zhuo Qianyun after finding out which police station Guo Xinli was taken to. She said, "Sis Zhuo, I'm sorry. I was supposed to help Lil Yan discharge, but now, I have to go to the police station to find out what happened to Guo Xinli.""You should go. My mother and I can handle the discharge procedure," Zhuo Qianyun also said anxiously. Similarly, she did not believe Guo Xinli would do such a thing.Lil Yan did not know what was going on. He kept asking what ‘detain’ was, and Zhuo Qianyun could only muddle through by saying something else.Guo Xinli was still being interrogated when Ling Yiran arrived at the police station. She learned from the police that there were witnesses and surveillance cameras on the scene. If they managed to find the surveillance footage and it was as what the victim and witness said, then Guo Xinli would be charged with attempted rape."I want to see Guo Xinli," said Ling Yiran. She wanted
Ling Yiran was tired of watching Hua Lifang put on a show. What she said was enough to let her know that Guo Xinli had been set up by her cousin.However... Why was her cousin setting Guo Xinli up like this? They had nothing in common!Just then, one of the policemen said to Ling Yiran, "You must be the lawyer representing Guo Xinli. You can go in and talk to Guo Xinli now, but only for half an hour.""Okay," Ling Yiran answered quickly, but as she was about to walk forward, a hand suddenly grasped her wrist from behind her. "You're Guo Xinli's lawyer?"Ling Yiran immediately turned her head and saw Gu Lichen's face. Surprise flashed across her face. She did not expect Gu Lichen... to have left the hospital and come to the police station."Why did you leave the hospital? Did the doctor allow you to come here?" she asked. The gauze had been removed from his head and body yesterday, but he was supposed to stay in the hospital for at least a few more days."Are you going to represen
Ling Yiran went into the interrogation room. The police's interrogation was over. Guo Xinli’s complexion appeared extremely bad, and he seemed to be at a loss.When he saw Ling Yiran come in, he frantically said, "Yiran, I... I didn't do anything like that, and I don't know why that woman would set me up like that!"Guo Xinli was dumbfounded. After all, such an emergency was not what he could handle."Take your time and tell me what happened. Don't panic! I'm representing you now, and I'll help you with your case. You can change your lawyer later if you find someone more suitable," said Ling Yiran, reassuring him first.Guo Xinli finally calmed down. "Thank you, Yiran!"After about half an hour, the information Ling Yiran got from Guo Xinli was that he was helping to get the report when Hua Lifang appeared beside him. She said that she had sprained her foot and asked him to help her to her car that was in the open-air parking lot of the hospital.As Hua Lifang was carrying many t
"Innocent?" Gu Lichen suddenly sneered. "The police have found the surveillance footage of the scene that proves that everything was as Lifang said. Besides, none of the five witnesses know each other, so there’s no possibility that they’re lying! The statements of all five are consistent so far!"Ling Yiran suddenly said, "Have you ever felt what it’s like to be wronged?""What?" He was dumbfounded."You've been wronged, and all the evidence and witness statements point to you. Even if you know you're innocent, you’re unable to convince others. Have you ever felt this way?" She smiled faintly. "I have, so I can understand how Guo Xinli feels right now. I'll help him no matter what!"His thin lips were pressed together tightly, and his eyes seemed to see through her. "Will you still help Guo Xinli even if I ask you not to interfere in his affairs?'""He's my friend, and I believe him." She met his eyes without flinching.The air around them had a stagnant depression!...After
"I don't get it. Set him up? What would be in it for me?" asked Hua Lifang.That was what Ling Yiran was wondering about. "You don't even want to settle, do you?""Would you like to settle with a man who wanted to rape you?" asked Hua Lifang, almost admiring the grim expression on Ling Yiran's face.This time, she felt like she had the upper hand.Ling Yiran took a deep breath. "'Have you ever thought about how you're going to stigmatize a man for the rest of his life by doing this? He won't be able to hold his head up.""Yiran, don't keep on saying that I set Guo Xinli up. You're also a lawyer. You should know that you have to show evidence for everything!" Hua Lifang said proudly."What can I do for you to let Guo Xinli go?" Ling Yiran took a deep breath and said, "Just name it, and I'll do what I can."Although she did not understand Hua Lifang's intention, she had a feeling that it had something to do with her! Maybe it was because of her that Hua Lifang framed Guo Xinli."
As long as she said yes, he would do his best to give her the ending she wanted.However, to his disappointment... what she said was, "Lichen, you saved my life, and as long as what you want me to do isn't against my conscience, I'll do it, but I can't say yes to this."He sneered suddenly. "So this is against your conscience? Yiran, is this man that important to you?"Ling Yiran was silent. It was not so much that Guo Xinli was important, but this probably only happened to him because of her. Besides, Guo Xinli reminded her of herself when she was unable to convince others back then. Saving Guo Xinli was like saving herself.Her silence only made Gu Lichen's face darken.Hua Lifang walked quickly to Gu Lichen's side, gently held his arm, and said, "Lichen, don't be mad. Yiran was deceived into believing that Guo Xinli is innocent because she cares too much about him. But in fact, Guo Xinli is full of lies. I was able to escape the car because I was lucky that someone passed by an
"You know full well whether I'm lying or not." Ling Yiran ignored Hua Lifang's antics. Her gaze only fell on Gu Lichen's face. "Do you believe what I say?"The shock in Gu Lichen's eyes slowly faded. His long eyelashes fluttered a little and then they were slowly lowered. "Do you want me to believe that you're the little girl who saved my life when I was a child?""Yes," replied Ling Yiran. She knew it was too sudden for her to say it now, but... she wanted to gamble on his trust. "Do you remember when we met on the edge of the cliff on the 49th day of your grandmother's death? What did you say when I asked you if you were the little girl?" Gu Lichen's voice rang faintly.Ling Yiran felt bitter. She had just wanted to give Yi Jinli a sense of security. Therefore, even though she had recovered her memory, she still insisted on denying the fact that she had saved him when she was a child.She said, "I remember. I denied it back then, but—""But afterward, I still asked you more th
Tears kept pouring out of Hua Lifang's eyes as she spoke. She was not entirely faking her tears. After all, she was scared. If Gu Lichen believed Ling Yiran’s words, then she was doomed.Fortunately, Gu Lichen did not believe Ling Yiran after all.Ling Yiran had been looking at Gu Lichen the whole time. "In your eyes, am I the kind of person who would lie and pretend to be someone to save another person?"Her voice was less aggressive than before. It was as if she was only asking a serious but simple question, but his heart suddenly began to panic.What was he panicking about?It was as if the distance between him and her that he had managed to pull shorter seemed to be growing further and further away. All this was because of Guo Xinli, a man he had never cared much about.In his impression, the man was just an average-looking ordinary person!"Is Guo Xinli really that important to you?" he asked without answering."I don't want him to be wronged groundlessly," said Ling Yiran
