Xie Jiashu walked into Zhu Zhu's ward with a serious expression. He glanced at Shen Yihuan and motioned her to come out and talk.
"What's wrong?" Shen Yihan felt a little strange when he saw Xie Jiashu avoiding everyone and taking him to another empty ward to talk alone.
"Director Zhang just called me," Xie Jiashu said. "They've checked all the surveillance footage of the road Zhu Zhu passed on the day of the accident. Because it was raining so hard that day, the surveillance didn't capture any useful information. So... An Yiqing will probably only be convicted of hit-and-run."
"What?!" Shen Yihan was furious when he heard this. "Hit-and-run only gets a few years in prison! An Yiqing clearly committed murder, how can he be let off so easily!"
"I understand." Xie Jiashu said, "Seeing Zhu Zhu like this, I also hope that An Yiqing will get the punishment he deserves. But the court is based on evidence. Without evidence, even if An Yiqing and Zhu Zhu have a deep hatred, he cannot be found guilty."
"What about Zhu Zhu?" Shen Yihuan's eyes were filled with tears. Whenever she thought of Zhu Zhu covered in blood that night, Shen Yihuan felt heartbroken. "Are we just going to let it go like this? Will Zhu Zhu's sin be in vain?"
"Of course not." Xie Jiashu said, "But this An Yiqing not only turned himself in, but also contacted the famous lawyer Wang in the capital to defend him. According to Director Zhang, when he heard that the person he hit was Zhu Zhu, he burst into tears in front of the police. He also said that he would double the compensation for Zhu Zhu..."
"Who wants his filthy money!" Shen Yihuan said, "Even if he gives Zhu Zhu 100 million, it can't make up for his sins!"
"I know!" Xie Jiashu patted Shen Yihan's shoulder, "Calm down first. Don't you think this is strange?"
After hearing what Xie Jiashu said, Shen Yihan stopped crying and looked at him with red eyes.
"What do you mean? Is...something strange?"
"I believe you're aware of An Yiqing's current situation," Xie Jiashu said, "but are you clear about Lawyer Wang's fees?"
Shen Yihuan shook her head after hearing this. To be honest, she didn't really know much about the fee standards in the legal community.
"Lawyer Wang is a famous lawyer in the capital. Not to mention you don't have money, even if you did, you might not be able to get in line to have him take your case."
"What...what do you mean?" Shen Yihan didn't quite understand what Xie Jiashu said.
"You should be aware of An Yiqing's situation since An Jinli was arrested," Xie Jiashu said. "With the combined efforts of Nanxun and An Yichen, An He no longer has any connection with An Yiqing. And the Liu family also gave up on the marriage proposal to An Yiqing because of An Jinli's situation. Without a backer, how could An Yiqing possibly have the money and ability to hire Lawyer Wang? And how could he possibly double his compensation to Zhu Zhu?"
"You mean..." Shen Yihuan seemed to have grasped some information, "Someone is helping An Yiqing behind the scenes?"
"It's more than just helping." Xie Jiashu paused for a few seconds and said, "I suspect that someone behind An Yiqing's murder of Zhu Zhu was orchestrated by An Yiqing. And that person is most likely the one who helped An Yiqing hire Lawyer Wang."
"How...how is this possible?" Shen Yihan was horrified. "Who on earth is so cruel as to want Zhu Zhu's life?"
Xie Jiashu was silent for a moment and said, "It's still unclear who is behind An Yiqing. But these signs indicate that my guess is correct. Since there is someone behind this, we must be more careful to protect Zhu Zhu and not let that person take advantage of us."
