The lawyer thought he had taken on an easy case this time.

Because they hadn't met Jiang Hechuan yet, Bai Yanran and Jiang Bai didn't dare tell the lawyer the whole truth.

So the lawyer thought this matter wouldn't be difficult.

Unexpectedly, after listening to what Jiang Hechuan said, he was completely stunned.

Good heavens, I never expected that the case Jiang Hechuan got involved in was actually the case of Jiang He's abduction.

Moreover, Jiang Hechuan was the mastermind behind it all.

Moreover, judging from what he said, the police station already has a lot of evidence, including confessions, witness testimonies, and physical evidence.

There's no way to deny it.

The lawyer immediately made up his mind not to take the case.

Even if the police hadn't confessed, they could still convict him, not to mention the amount of evidence they had.

Even without so much evidence, judging from Jiang Hechuan's appearance, it's clear he wasn't wronged.

Jiang He is his own son.

He actually went so far as to have Jiang He abducted.

This is utterly outrageous.

He didn't want to be associated with such a person, not only because it would damage his reputation.

He was so afraid of being struck by lightning during a thunderstorm while helping Jiang Hechuan with his lawsuit that he was worried about getting struck by lightning.

"Mr. Jiang, Ms. Bai, I'm sorry, I may not be able to accept your request."

"We suggest that Mr. Jiang confess and be treated leniently. After all, confessing is the way to go, while resisting is the way to be punished. Taking the initiative to explain and cooperate may reduce his punishment."

Even though the lawyer had tried to be as tactful as possible.

But these words struck Bai Yanran and Jiang Bai like a thunderbolt, and they were unwilling to accept them at all.

Hearing this, Jiang Hechuan not only broke down his defenses but also felt his heart sink to the bottom, filled with fear.

That's pretty clear.

In other words, even if he doesn't admit it, the police can already convict him based on the clues they have.

No matter how he tries to argue and stubbornly defend himself, it's no use.

Is turning oneself in the police the only option left?

Jiang Hechuan was completely devastated. His mind was buzzing, and he didn't sleep all night, busy trying to find connections. But as soon as he got back, he was taken away again.

The interrogation lasted for several hours, then I waited for the lawyer and communicated with him.

The whole process was a state of high tension, and now I know that I have nowhere else to go.

Jiang Hechuan truly couldn't accept such a huge shock.

She was so angry that she fainted.

Bai Yanran almost fainted from crying, and Jiang Bai helped her stagger out of the police station.

Once we returned to the villa...

Bai Yanran looked at Jiang Bai helplessly.

"Jiang Bai, what should we do now?"

"If your dad goes to jail, how are we supposed to live?"

"Damn it, who called the police? This happened so long ago, the police closed the case and didn't pursue it anymore, why is it being brought up again!"

"If I find out who did it, I definitely won't let them get away with it!"

Bai Yanran gritted her teeth in extreme anger.

She truly loved Jiang Hechuan.

She had followed Jiang Hechuan anonymously for so many years and even bore him a child.

Becoming the rightful Mrs. Jiang was already her obsession.

Even though she and Jiang Hechuan are now being vilified online, with people everywhere criticizing them, Bai Yanran has overcome the initial embarrassment, pain, regret, and struggle.

I've given up and come to terms with it.

If your career is ruined, so be it. It's already like this, all you can do is look forward.

Fortunately, Jiang Hechuan still has a lot of assets under his name. Even if Shen Mingyue takes away most of them, it will still be enough for them to squander for the rest of their lives.

At worst, they can just go abroad and live their own lives.

Once the hype dies down and no one remembers these things in a few years, we can come back.

Unexpectedly, before she could even whisper sweet nothings in Jiang Hechuan's ear, she persuaded him to wait until things were over before going abroad with her.

Then Jiang Hechuan had an accident.

And it's such a big deal; if it's not handled properly, I could be in jail for several years.

If Jiang Hechuan goes in, what will happen to her and her child?

Bai Yanran was still wallowing in self-pity, but Jiang Bai had a different idea.

He had no idea of ​​his true identity from childhood to adulthood.

He lost his memory due to a high fever, and Jiang Hechuan had kept it a secret from him for so many years.

Therefore, before knowing the truth, Jiang Bai never truly regarded the Jiang family as his own relatives.

He had no feelings for his mother, Shen Mingyue, or his four older sisters, Jiang Muyun, Jiang Xingwan, Jiang Yuxi, and Jiang Wenyu; he treated them like mere tools.

He didn't actually have much affection for Jiang Hechuan, his adoptive father.

Despite his apparent favor with the Jiang family over the years, he never truly lived a happy and carefree life.

In order to gain a foothold in the Jiang family and win their favor, he was forced to learn from a young age how to read people's expressions, how to be sensible, and how to please others.

He forced himself to study hard, to become excellent and outstanding, and to be a son and younger brother that they could be proud of.

He harbored resentment towards the Jiang family.

Even rivers and streams are no exception.

Therefore, after learning that he was actually Jiang Hechuan's biological son, he was overjoyed and excited.

Gradually, without realizing it, he developed more resentment towards Jiang Hechuan.

He resented Jiang Hechuan for not telling him the truth sooner, which made him live on the edge in the Jiang family for so many years.

If he had known earlier that the boy was his biological son, he would at least have had a slightly more complete childhood.

I wish I could be happier, without having to push myself so hard, and without having to be so scheming and obsequious, trying to please everyone in the Jiang family.
