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
When he saw Tong Xiaoge, his eyes were complicated, as if he had not expected her to come to visit him on her own initiative.However, his expression quickly turned cold and hard, "Tong Xiaoge, are you finally willing to come back?"Tong Xiaoge walked into the room, looked directly into Fu Chen 's eyes and said, "I came here to ask you, Fu Chen, why have you become so confused about right and wrong?""Your behavior towards Lin Shuyu, your attack on our law firm, all of this... do you really think this is what you should do?"When Fu Chen heard these questions, his face turned ugly.A flash of shock flashed through his mind. He couldn't believe that Tong Xiaoge would question him so directly for Lin Shuyu.But shock was soon replaced by anger, and his voice became louder, "Tong Xiaoge, everything I did is the price you have to pay for your own choice.""Price?" Tong Xiaoge almost sneered, "Fu Chen, what you mean by price is to let inno
Tong Xiaoge no longer wants to be shrouded in Fu Chen's shadow, and at the same time he also knows Shen Lanxiu 's love for Bai Youwei .If you can find a solution that is acceptable to both parties, you will be free.In the Fu family's garden, Tong Xiaoge was wearing simple and casual clothes and looked slightly nervous.Shen Lanxiu sat opposite with an upper-class arrogance , with contempt in her eyes."Mom, I won't talk around in circles with you. I know you like Bai Youwei, and I also know that Fu Chen has feelings for her." Tong Xiaoge spoke directly without any hesitation.Shen Lanxiu raised her eyebrows slightly , seeming a little surprised by Tong Xiaoge's directness, but she quickly returned to her disdainful attitude."Oh? Tong Xiaoge, so what do you want to express?""I am willing to take the initiative to leave Fu Chen and satisfy him and Bai Youwei. My only condition is that you can guarantee that Fu Chen will not hurt me
