As his defense attorney, Jiang Yilai was determined to fight to the very end, even though he had already given up.

With Luo Chen summoning him, Li Bin was quickly brought to the reception room. However, when he saw Jiang Yilai, his first reaction was to turn around and run away.

He was no longer just afraid to face it, but desperately wanted to escape.

Li Bin's reaction was very abnormal. Logically speaking, since Jiang Yilai, as his defense lawyer, lost the case, he should have been emotionally agitated upon seeing her. Usually, in this situation, he would at least be able to hurl some insults.

However, he didn't have any of these normal reactions. Instead, he turned around and tried to run away, which made him seem even more abnormal.

At least he was caught by the guards before he could run out of the house.

Luo Chen, also curious, stepped forward, grabbed his shoulder, and led him back to his seat.

Luo Chen patted his head and frowned, saying, "Why are you running away? Do you think we're going to eat you?"

Knowing he couldn't escape, Li Bin simply lowered his head to avoid Jiang Yilai's gaze.

Jiang Yilai was becoming increasingly curious as to why he was still afraid of her.

"Li Bin, what's going on with you? Are you trying to avoid me?"

Li Bin lowered his head and remained silent, but Luo Chen lifted his head up again.

"Hey kid, the lawyer is asking you a question, answer him quickly."

Li Bin stubbornly lowered his head again, but Luo Chen held it firmly in place and said angrily, "What are you being stubborn about? I'm asking you to answer a question, why are you hiding? Are you really not afraid of death?"

Under Luo Chen's pressure, he quickly said, "Don't ask me anything anymore. I've already admitted that I did it on purpose."

Jiang Yilai hadn't forgotten the scene of their first meeting. He cooperated perfectly, his eyes full of survival instinct, refusing to admit that he did it on purpose no matter what.

"Now you're answering so readily, but why didn't you admit it back then?"

Li Bin still didn't dare to meet her gaze, and said with his head down, "At that time, I wanted to escape punishment, but now I've figured it out. I'm willing to take responsibility for my actions and bear the legal consequences."

“When you replied to me on the phone, you were so adamant that you didn’t do it on purpose, so we did everything we could to defend you, but you gave up on it yourself.”

"It's my fault. I've let you down. You don't need to worry about me anymore."

"What about your family? Your sister, whom you want to protect the most, aren't you going to take care of her either?"

Upon hearing this, Li Bin looked up, his eyes filled with despair.

Luo Chen spoke up: "Were you threatened? I asked around, and the Liu family visited you, and their lawyer also came."

These words surprised Jiang Yilai, who looked over and asked, "You mean the opposing lawyer also went to see him?" She quickly turned to Li Bin and asked, "What did he say to you?"

Jiang Yilai knew that Ye Tao was best at breaking down other people's defenses, and that he must have said something to Li Bin before he went to see him.

His actions were unexpected, which shows how seriously he takes this lawsuit.

It makes sense. Sheng Hai specially transferred him back from abroad and put him in charge of Shengshi's law firm in China. Of course, he can't lose his first case back in China.

If he loses to me in such a minor case, he will lose face when he goes back, and Sheng Hai will not let him off easily.

Li Bin shook his head, refusing to reveal the reason.

Luo Chen, however, was not so good-tempered. Seeing that he remained silent, he grabbed his hair, forced him to look at him, and sternly reprimanded him.

"Listen up, kid. I'm trying to help you, not harm you. Answer my questions properly."
