Chapter 284 He Will Always Be With Me

In the gallery, Xiaojie's mother suddenly burst into tears. Her crying seemed to tear open the silence of the courtroom and pierced everyone's heart.

I gritted my teeth, and an irrepressible anger and grief surged in my heart. Those innocent children, those destroyed families, were all because of the Jin family's greed and Lin Shu's weakness.

The prosecutor stood up and began to present the evidence one by one. Grandpa's diary, the Jin family's account book, the bank's transaction records... Each piece of evidence was like a sharp blade, pointing directly at the Jin family's crimes. The old man's face became uglier and uglier, and finally he was almost as pale as paper.

He tried to defend himself, but his voice became weaker and weaker, and finally he was completely speechless in the face of the irrefutable evidence.

"I declare," the judge slammed the gavel, his voice majestic and solemn, "the Jin Group is suspected of smuggling, money laundering, intentional injury and other crimes, and is sentenced to..."

The judge's voice echoed in the courtroom, but I couldn't hear it clearly. The only sound I could hear was my own heartbeat.

Jiang Yichen held my hand tightly, his breathing was a little rapid, and his eyes flashed with complex light.

When walking out of the court, reporters were gathered at the door. Jiang Yichen had already made arrangements and got into the car as soon as he left the court.

It started to rain, and fine raindrops fell one after another. Jiang Yichen opened the umbrella, asked me to get in the car, and drove away.

"It's over," he whispered, a hint of relief in his voice.

I looked up at him, the rain wet his hair and slid down his cheeks. His eyes were gentle and firm, as if telling me: no matter how many storms there are in the future, he will stay with me.

"Well, it's over." I responded softly, with the corners of my mouth slightly raised.

We smiled at each other, our eyes full of expectations for the future. At this moment, all the fatigue and pressure seemed to disappear, leaving only each other's warmth and heartbeat.

"Let's go, let's go to the hospital and have a look at the arm." Jiang Yichen said softly, "Grandma is waiting for us there too."

I nodded, leaned in his arms, and felt his warmth. The sound of the rain was like a melody for this victory.

"Grandma, we won."

Grandma's hands trembled slightly, her eyes full of love: "Okay, okay... I knew you could do it."

Jiang Yichen stood aside, looking at us tenderly, his mouth slightly raised, his eyes gleaming with pride.

"Grandma, don't worry, Lin Shu..." he whispered, his voice firm and powerful.

Grandma nodded and patted my hands gently: "You are all good children. Grandma is proud of you."

At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open again, and Xu Sisi and Xiao Tiantian walked in. Their faces were filled with smiles and their eyes were full of pride.

"Sister Mo, President Jiang, we won!" Xiao Tiantian said excitedly, with joy that was hard to conceal in her voice.

Xu Sisi walked up to me and patted my shoulder gently: "Thank you for your hard work, Sister Mo."

"Sister..." Gu Bai asked with a worried look on his face.

I smiled, and a warm feeling welled up in my heart: "Thank you all for your hard work. Without your help, we wouldn't be able to get to where we are today."

"What are your plans next?" Xu Sisi asked, with anticipation gleaming in her eyes.

I looked at Jiang Yichen, then at my grandmother, and said softly, "Take a good rest for a while, and then... continue moving forward."

At night, I thought of Lin Shu again, and the relationship between her and my grandfather. Back then, the charity organization my grandmother participated in received a difficult case, and the person involved was wrongly imprisoned. My grandmother looked for someone to overturn the verdict, and she was introduced to him - the high-spirited and justice-filled man was my grandfather.

When we first met, I was impressed by my grandfather's calmness and wisdom. We became close friends as we worked together on cases. He successfully cleared the client's grievances with his ability, but later, Lin Shu appeared. She was originally the object of his legal aid, and was threatened.

He felt sorry for her and helped her for free. Lin Shu was very grateful and regarded him as a benefactor.

But I don't know what she went through, and how she participated in the conspiracy to frame him. Grandma tried her best to help him, but the Jin family forged evidence, and grandma failed after all. Unexpectedly, it ended up in my hands. It was really fate.

After this comeback, I quickly started the process of unblocking my studio, and thanks to the popularity, I arrived at the office early the next day.

The morning sun shines into the studio through the French windows. When I push open the door, Xu Sisi is sitting in front of the computer, typing away at the keyboard. When she hears the noise, she looks up, her eyes brightening: "You're finally here!"

She walked over quickly and handed me a stack of organized materials: "This is the information you will need for the interview later. I have organized it according to the timeline. And this--" She took out another piece of paper from the folder, "These are some questions I prepared that might be asked. Take a look first."

I took the materials, and the paper was still warm from the printer. Xu Sisi was always meticulous in her work, and she marked each key point with a highlighter, and also put a sticky note next to it with her additional suggestions.

"Thank you for your hard work." I was flipping through the materials and suddenly noticed the dark circles under her eyes. "Did you work overtime again last night?"

"It's okay," she waved her hand, "it's just that there are a lot of projects recently and everyone is very busy." She paused, wanting to say something but stopped herself.

I put down the materials and looked at her: "Just say it."

"Um... I think it's time for our studio to hire someone?" Xu Sisi bit her lip. "We've been taking on more and more projects recently, and with just a few of us, we're really overwhelmed. Xiao Wang was so tired that he fell asleep on the sofa yesterday."

I looked around and the studio was indeed a bit empty. There were three desks, two computers, and a few unopened express boxes piled in the corner. I remember when the studio was first established, there was not even a big air conditioner here, and it was as hot as a steamer in the summer. Although the conditions are better now, manpower is indeed a problem.

"You're right," I nodded. "It's time to recruit people. So, you can send out the recruitment information first, and focus on finding experienced planners and copywriters. I will personally supervise the interviews."

Xu Sisi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really? That's great! I'll prepare it now!" She turned around and was about to run to the computer, but I stopped her again.

"Wait," I looked at her with a smile, "finish the interview first and help me prepare what I need. There can't be any mistakes."

"Don't worry!" She winked at me, "I've arranged everything. The interview room has been set up and the video equipment has been debugged. Oh, and I even bought your favorite latte and put it on your table."

Only then did I notice the steaming cup of coffee on the table, with the condensed water on the cup sparkling in the sun. Only Xu Sisi would notice such details.

"Thank you." I picked up the coffee and took a sip. It was just the right temperature.

Xu Sisi had returned to the computer, her fingers dancing on the keyboard. The sunlight shone on her face, making the pearl earrings on her earlobes particularly bright.

I walked to the window and looked at the endless stream of cars downstairs. The city is changing every day, and our studio is about to usher in a new chapter.

"The interview is scheduled for half past ten," Xu Sisi glanced at her watch, "There are still two hours left. Do you want to go over the process again?"
