Despite her inner turmoil, she tried hard to leave the stress of work at the office.
The sky outside seemed to sense the gloom in her heart, with dark clouds hanging overhead and the air filled with the depressing feeling that it was about to rain.
As she reached the corner of the street, the sky suddenly darkened, and the heavy clouds seemed to be torn apart, and heavy rain poured down without warning.
Tong Xiaoge didn't bring an umbrella, and her clothes were soaked by the rain in just a few seconds.
The rain dripped down her hair, wetting her glasses and blurring her vision.
She stood in the rain, feeling the cold rain sliding across her cheeks, icy cold.
At this moment, Tong Xiaoge's body and mind seemed to be completely defeated. Her pace slowed down and she almost stopped in the rain.
The rain hit the ground, splashing water . Pedestrians on the street opened their umbrellas and hurriedly took shelter from the rain.

When Tong Xiaoge slowly opened her eyes, the dim light of the ward was projected onto her tired face, and the first thing that caught her eye was Fu Chen's serious and heroic face.He sat on the edge of the bed, his palm wrapped around hers, his eyes filled with unspeakable emotions.Tong Xiaoge's consciousness was still wandering in confusion. Her eyes slowly focused and she recognized Fu Chen. The emotions in her heart began to surge.She had imagined such a scene countless times in her mind, Fu Chen guarding her at her most vulnerable moment, but this scene in reality made her feel extremely painful.His thoughts drifted back to the beautiful yet painful memories between them.Every time Fu Chen showed concern for Bai Youwei, it was like a needle piercing her heart, making her firmly believe that she would always be just a supporting role in his heart.This realization gradually accumulated into a deep despair, prompting her to make the
The next day, feeling a little better, Tong Xiaoge went straight to the hospital for discharge.She and Lin Shuyu met in a quiet cafe and decided to discuss in depth the issue of missing evidence in the Bai Haoyang case.The atmosphere in the cafe is quiet and soothing, and the warm lights cast soft spots of light on the small tables.Tong Xiaoge sat by the window. Through the glass, the busy street scene outside was reflected in her eyes, but her thoughts were obviously not here.Lin Shuyu showed up on time, with a concerned look on his face.He sat down and did not talk about the case directly. Instead, he asked with concern , "Xiao Ge, how are you feeling now? I was shocked when I heard that you were hospitalized yesterday."Tong Xiaoge smiled faintly, trying to look calm, "I'm fine, just a little weak. I'm much better now, let's discuss the case first."Lin Shuyu nodded and took out a document from his briefcase. "I have done some
Lin Shuyu's phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence in the room.He answered the call quickly, and Tong Xiaoge could see the subtle changes in his facial expression.After the call ended, Lin Shuyu took a deep breath and turned to Tong Xiaoge with a hint of excitement on his face:"We have made a breakthrough. One of the owners of the phone is one of the key people we suspected.""Really?" There was a glimmer of hope in Tong Xiaoge's eyes."Yes, our next task is to confirm the specific actions of this person on the night of the incident.""I suggest that we go to the police station right away and personally supervise this part of the investigation." Lin Shuyu stood up and straightened his clothes.Tong Xiaoge nodded in agreement. She felt a surge of power in her heart, inspiring her to continue pursuing the truth."Then let's go, every minute may be crucial."The two quickly left the office and walked outside.Tong
I turned over and picked up my phone, and saw countless notifications and messages at a glance.Yesterday's conflict has been pushed into the public eye and has become a hot topic.She opened a social media app and the homepage was full of discussions and criticisms of her behavior, some of which were even malicious accusations and personal attacks against her.On the screen, comments came into view:"This Tong Xiaoge is so heartless that she didn't even let go of a weak woman who knelt before her and begged for mercy.""The law is dead, but lawyers don't need to be so cold-blooded, right?""Obviously he did this because he was jealous of Bai Youwei. He is really scheming.""For the sake of fame, I have even thrown away my conscience."Every comment was like a needle piercing her heart, but Tong Xiaoge knew very well that these online voices were just a temporary venting of public emotion and she could not be shaken by them.
Tong Xiaoge was in a heavy mood. Xiaowei 's father's words on the phone made her feel powerless.She clearly realized that facing such a powerful Bai family, Xiaowei 's parents had been forced into a desperate situation.Mr. Wang's voice rang out again, with a tearful tone, "Lawyer Tong, we are really grateful for your help all the time.""But now, my wife and I have decided not to pursue the matter. The pressure this incident has brought us is too great and we can't bear it."Tong Xiaoge tried hard to calm herself down. She knew that this was not just a legal battle, but also a destruction of a family's will."Mr. Wang, I understand your decision. But please consider that if you give up holding the Bai family accountable, the Bai family will get away with it, and the damage Xiaowei has suffered will never be repaired.""We know." Mr. Wang's voice sounded unusually tired, as if every word was heavy."But we have no choice, Lawyer Tong
Fu Chen was extremely angry. He grabbed Tong Xiaoge's arm with such force that it was almost painful."Come home with me, there are things we need to talk about."Fu Chen's tone left no room for doubt, and his overbearing coldness startled Lin Shuyu next to him.Tong Xiaoge tried to break free, but Fu Chen's hands held her tightly like an iron clamp ."Let me go, Fu Chen! What are you doing?" Tong Xiaoge's voice was filled with undisguised anger.Fu Chen seemed not to hear it. He dragged Tong Xiaoge towards the car parked on the side of the road.Lin Shuyu hurriedly followed and tried to mediate, "Mr. Fu, this is not right. Please calm down first."But Fu Chen seemed to have been completely controlled by his emotions. He turned back coldly and said, "This is a matter between us, Lin Shuyu, you'd better not interfere."Tong Xiaoge was forcibly dragged into the car by Fu Chen. Once the door was closed, the world seemed to be cut o
"Thank you, doctor. Can I go see her?"Fu Chen asked in a low voice."Of course, but be careful not to provoke her again."The doctor nodded and led Fu Chen to the ward where Tong Xiaoge was.In the ward, Tong Xiaoge lay quietly on the bed, with a thick bandage wrapped around his head and his face pale.Seeing this scene, Fu Chen's heart sank to the bottom again.He tiptoed to the bed, sat on the chair, and stared at Tong Xiaoge's face silently.After a long silence, Fu Chen said softly, "Xiao Ge, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn't have treated you like that, I..."As he was talking, he couldn't go on any more.He knew that no matter what he said, it would not undo the damage that had been done.Sitting in the dim ward, Fu Chen fell into deep self-blame and reflection.As the night deepened, the hospital corridor gradually became quiet.Fu Chen was still sitting in the ward, guarding Tong Xiaoge.T
Lin Shuyu did not answer directly. He turned his gaze to Tong Xiaoge and asked gently, "Xiaoge, what happened? How do you feel now?"Tong Xiaoge smiled slightly, although the smile was a little forced, "Brother, thank you, I'm fine."A hint of displeasure flashed in Fu Chen's eyes. He didn't like Lin Shuyu's appearance here, especially his concern for Tong Xiaoge, which made him even more dissatisfied.Shi Jinglan evaluated Lin Shuyu. She could see that with his calm personality and being a famous lawyer, he might be the key to solving the problem.Lin Shuyu turned to Fu Chen, her tone calm but not timid at all, "Fu Chen, Xiaoge is my friend and my employee, so I naturally care about her situation. Is it really appropriate for you to treat her like this?"Fu Chen frowned and lowered his voice, "I don't need you to teach me how to deal with my marriage problems.""But if you deal with it in a way that involves harm and unlawful control, it's
