Yi Jinli's eyes glistened as he lowered his eyelashes gently. "Maybe he's having a hard time after framing you. He’s been abroad, and if he didn't want to come back, we wouldn't have been able to catch him so soon. He voluntarily returned and surrendered himself when he knew that they’re investigating the case again."Of course, what he did not say was that Wan Yuming was willing to surrender himself because he had used a lot of means to force the man to do so."A hard time?" Ling Yiran snorted. "Can he be forgiven just because he had a hard time? It's like murdering someone and asking forgiveness from the victim. Don't you find it ridiculous? I just didn't die in prison. If I had died in prison, there's no way I could stand in front of him!"Every word she said was like a whip, whipping his heart and making it harder for him to breathe."So... You won't forgive him, right?" asked Yi Jinli in a mutter."Yes, I can never forgive a man who has done me so much harm!" replied Ling Yir
"Mr. Yi, I... I've done as you said. Please, let me live!" Wan Yuming said hastily.Yi Jinli's eyes were dark. The man in front of him was one of the main culprits in making Yiran bear the crime. "As long as you never say what you shouldn't, you can keep your life."Wan Yuming was relieved.If he could, he would never even think about turning himself in. He was only forced by Yi Jinli.Even abroad, when someone like Yi Jinli wanted to go after someone, there was no getting away from it."Then, my family..." Wan Yuming said nervously."I won't touch your family since they don't know what you've done. However..." Yi Jinli's voice paused. Wan Yuming had just felt the slightest bit of relief when he was suddenly nervous again. "What you made Yiran suffer and what you made her pay back then, you must now pay back twice as much." Wan Yuming was eager to defend himself, but Yi Jinli had already stood up as if he was too impatient to hear more from him. "Wan Yuming, I'll let you keep y
"Why’d you want to come here?" Yi Jinli asked with subtle hoarseness in his voice."When I was a child, I used to play on this hill. Even though we weren’t allowed to play here because the adults said it was dangerous, I’d still sneak up the hill. I felt like an explorer on the hill," said Ling Yiran.On the other hand, Hua Lifang was not a big fan of coming here."All children do that," he said."Back then, I always thought I’d find some secret on this hill. For example, treasures, alien spacecraft, or maybe I’d discover some time passage. Wasn't I silly?" said Ling Yiran.Perhaps in the eyes of an adult, this hillside was not that big even if it was connected to the mountain behind it. However, in the eyes of children, it was like a new world."No, it's adorable. However, you've grown up now. This is just a hill, after all. Come on, it's getting late. I'm worried it'll be quite late when we get back to Shen City," said Yi Jinli.Ling Yiran nodded, but she looked back at the hi
"Even if they were going to reverse the case, it shouldn’t have happened so soon! Following the normal procedures..."However, before Hao Yimeng could finish, she was interrupted by Hao Qirong. "Don't forget who has her back now!"Hao Yimeng fell silent. 'It's Yi Jinli!'The so-called normal procedure's timeline was only applicable to ordinary people."All right. Whatever it is, once the news is reported, the Hao family still needs to put on a show. We can't offend the Yi family over this, got it?" Hao Qirong repeatedly warned his daughter.Hao Yimeng's delicately manicured nails almost crushed her phone.She had stepped on Ling Yiran in front of a lot of media and made a big splash about the fact that Ling Yiran killed her sister.Now, what her father said was equivalent to asking her to apologize to Ling Yiran publicly. Was that not slapping herself in the face in public?"Yimeng, do you hear me?" Hao Qirong's voice was serious. "Don't drag the Hao family through the mud. I w
He lowered his head, his eyes falling on her. She was leaning on his shoulder. 'If she knows the truth, would she still think... It’s great to have met me?'Probably not.'Once Ling Yiran was sound asleep, Yi Jinli gently moved and gingerly picked up Ling Yiran. He went back to the bedroom and put her down on the soft bed. Then, he gently stroked her hair with his fingers. "Yiran, everything ends here, all right?"The truth of her case ended here, and so did her past with Gu Lichen.'Let's not pursue either of these matters any further!''It's for the best!...A reporter spread the news of Ling Yiran's case reversal on the internet.For a moment, there was a great deal of discussion about it.Of course, Ling Yiran was just a promising rookie lawyer who had been cleared of a wrongful conviction. It was Ling Yiran's ex-boyfriend, Xiao Ziqi, and Hao Yimeng, a celebrity, who were the topic of discussion.Although the reporter who broke the story said that he had interviewed Hao
"You're regarding me as an outsider if you say that. Yiran, we said we'd be friends forever. You mustn't keep such things from me in the future. I don't want to learn about what happened to my friends from the news," said Qin Lianyi."Got it." Ling Yiran found her nose a little sore.That was how Lianyi behaved. If she regarded someone as a friend, she would treat them wholeheartedly.The next day, Qin Lianyi met with Ling Yiran and learned the details of the case, including how Wan Yuming was the mastermind behind it."I can't believe he’d frame someone else just because he was afraid of being involved. However, now that you've proved your innocence, what are you going to do next?" Qin Lianyi said emotionally."I have no idea," said Ling Yiran. She had some expectations but also some hesitation for her future."Are you going to become a lawyer again?" asked Qin Lianyi.Ling Yiran chuckled bitterly. "I haven't been in the business for four years. I don't know if I can do it yet.
The man uttered a series of words, all in defense of Hao Yimeng. He behaved just like a fan of Hao Yimeng’s.Ling Yiran frowned a little, picked up a couple of books she had chosen, and went over to the cashier to pay for them. She planned to look for Qin Lianyi after paying.However, the man did not give up and continued to follow Ling Yiran. He went on with his speech, wanting Ling Yiran to declare online that she was willing to forgive Hao Yimeng and even took out his phone to film her.Ling Yiran frowned more deeply. "You have no right to film me without my consent!""You feel guilty, don't you? I'm just filming with my phone. What's that got to do with you? You haven't publicly responded to Hao Yimeng's apology. You don't have a secret, do you? Is it possible that you want to rekindle your relationship with Xiao Ziqi?"The man exaggerated as if to spur some hot gossip.Ling Yiran hurriedly paid the bill. She was hoping to find Qin Lianyi, but more and more people had gathere
There were already a lot of people gathered on Ling Yiran's side. With that scream, more people gathered around her.Gu Lichen frowned slightly. The next moment, he pulled Ling Yiran into a parked car and drove away.The car just sped off, leaving the crowd of people who had gathered there unable to do nothing but stare. Then, they began to discuss Ling Yiran and Gu Lichen’s relationship.After getting into the car, Ling Yiran said to Gu Lichen, "Thank you for just now. Just drop me off somewhere around here."However, instead of stopping the car, Gu Lichen asked, "What the hell is going on?""Some stranger recognized me. After all, my recent case reversal became hot internet gossip because of Hao Yimeng's apology. Please stop the car. My friend’s still in the bookstore and I have to meet her later!" said Ling Yiran.Gu Lichen pressed his thin lips together slightly and finally pulled up to the side of the road.Ling Yiran tried to get out of the car, but Gu Lichen stopped her.
