Chapter 243 Regret

Shi Wang squatted on the side of the road in pain, muttering and in disbelief.

Anyone who has come into contact with him at work actually knows something about it.

Apart from appearing difficult to get along with, Shi Wang is actually a very rigid and roundabout person at heart.

He firmly believes that the law in a society ruled by law can give every victim the justice they deserve.

Even though he has been deeply involved in this industry, many years later, many of his colleagues who entered the industry with him have long been smoothed out by the reality of life.

He still reluctantly and naively maintained this firm "fantasy".

This case involving Chen Canghui was the first one he took on after deciding to leave Xinghai completely and work on his own.

Unlike the commercial cases he had handled in the past, this one was a criminal case.

Because of what the security guards said that day at the Jiang family villa.

Shi Wang was so eager to prove himself, and he desperately wanted to make a comeback and prove to everyone that he was the only one worthy of Jiang Wanning.

For this purpose, after receiving the plaintiff's commission, he put in nearly 120% of his efforts. After checking the transaction records between the other party's group and Chen Canghui for nearly decades overnight, he compiled a chain of evidence that could almost sentence Chen Canghui to death. He submitted a lawsuit application to the local court as soon as possible.

He thought that Chen Canghui had "done many evil things" over the years, and the imitation jade she made had destroyed countless innocent families.

Now that he has lived a peaceful life in his old age, he was only exposed by his former accomplices. This can be considered as his own fault and the lightest retribution.

However, he did not expect that even though he had made all the necessary preparations, he would actually meet Jiang Wanning, who had accompanied him, at the opposing lawyer's place the day before the trial.

The overwhelming jealousy in an instant almost eroded all his rationality.

It also forced him to go against his own "heart" for the first time and do such a crazy thing to someone.

Until Chen Canghui jumped off the building.

While Shi Wang was in disbelief, the last line of defense in his heart seemed to be completely broken at this moment.

This was probably the first time in his career that someone chose to prove their innocence in such a resolute manner when a case came under his hands.

The overwhelming online abuse finally changed direction after Chen Canghui's death.

People always start to regret after they have done something wrong.

When you die, the world will begin to love you again.

"It seems like Chen Canghui was also forced..."

"The person who actually forced her to do these things is still at large..."

"What happened between her and her senior sister was actually a misunderstanding. It was all caused by malicious smear campaigns!"

"Oh my God, it turns out we were all misled by that lawyer!"

"In fact, he and the plaintiff's gang are the real villains. They were the ones who forced Mr. Chen to death!"

“…”

Words like these seemed to completely crush Shi Wang's long-held professional values.

What made him even more desperate was that after reading the controversial news about the Chen couple.

He finally saw with tears in his eyes a video circulating on the Internet at that time, which showed Jiang Wanning and his second brother Jiang Qingyan arguing in the company.

Although the video was blurry and the faces could not be seen clearly, it was enough to make a mistake and recognize that the so-called Jiang Wanning's second brother was the lawyer who came with her to meet her at that time.

Thinking this through, Shi Wang's fingers gripping the phone could no longer stop shaking.

So, what did he do to Jiang Wanning at that time?

Shi Wang felt deeply regretful and depressed. He turned down countless subsequent commissions and fled back to his rural hometown in China where Qin Huifang lived.

It seemed that only in this way could he isolate himself from the world, escape for a short time, and no longer think about the troubles of the outside world.

Many days passed like this, and Chen Canghui changed from muttering at the beginning to sighing later.

"Alas, what a sin..."

"Son, if I had known this would happen, I would have said I would never have let you study law."

“…”

But it was too late to say anything now.

The days passed in a daze for about a week.

Shi Wang finally walked out of the room after Qin Huifang kept nagging him and helped her clean up the dusty room.

"That's how you should be, son. You should have come out and basked in the sun a long time ago."

"Always staying in the house like a stuffy person, even if you're not sick, you'll probably get suffocated."

Hearing her chattering, Shi Wang did not respond. When he continued to help her move things out of the house, his eyes suddenly froze when he noticed a diary that the woman had pressed at the bottom of the suitcase.

"mom."

He rarely spoke and called out to the woman, "Where did you get this diary?"

"What diary? Those are the fancy things that city people use. I, your mother, never..."

Qin Huifang obviously didn't react at first and responded casually.

The next second, when she saw clearly the appearance of the diary in Shi Wang's hand, her expression changed completely.

"Hey! This diary is nothing!"

The woman stretched out her fat fingers and tried to snatch the diary back from Shi Wang's hands, but it was too late.

Shi Wang had already taken the lead and pulled out the dusty diary from the bottom of the suitcase.

At the same time, his eyes, which had originally shown no emotion, finally turned completely cold at this moment.

The reason was simple: Qin Huifang's diary, judging only by its appearance, was exactly the same as the one he was using.

Even when you open the contents, you see a line of sharp handwriting, just like what he wrote.

But Shi Wang clearly remembered that this diary was obtained after he participated in a competition when he was a student. It was specially customized by the organizer, and the competition rules were engraved on the back.

But the back of the cover of this obviously "pirated" diary is empty.

Even more...

Shi Wang kept flipping through the contents of the diary in his hand, squinting his eyes dangerously.

[Xu Moli, the first time I saw you, you were as pure and beautiful as a jasmine flower.]

I hope you can live freely and unconstrained by any labels.

【……】

The diary was filled with notes about his past blessings to Xu Moli and his later indifference and slander towards Jiang Wanning.

But Shi Wang couldn't remember when he had ever written something like this.

His hands were shaking even more violently now.

Finally, he cast his gaze in disbelief at the woman standing opposite him: "Mom, aren't you going to give me an explanation?"
