In the blink of an eye, everyone had gathered in Gu Yao's hospital room.
“Attorney Gu, you're already injured, we shouldn't be bothering you anymore. But... we can't trust anyone else but you. That's why we…”
When Yangyang's father said this, everyone lowered their heads in shame.
Zhou Chunhua was caught in the middle, like a sandwich filling, caught between two difficult choices.
Because, like Yangyang's father, she only trusts Gu Yao. So, at this critical juncture, there is no other choice but Gu Yao.
Meanwhile, Gu Yao, who was injured while saving her, was also disturbed by her. He should have been quietly recuperating, but instead, he was being bothered by her.
"It's okay, I only have a superficial injury, not a brain injury."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after Gu Yao said that.
Only Zhou Chunhua responded with an apologetic smile, feeling embarrassed.
Yangyang's father recounted the events of the past few days.
Everyone was very excited when they talked about the phone call Qin Donglai made.
However, the problem also lies with this phone call.
"The problem now is that we all want to go."
When Yangyang's father got to this point, everyone became unusually quiet.
Zhou Chunhua knew this because they were all very anxious about the whereabouts of their relatives.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Gu Yao guessed the gist of it. Presumably, the problem was that they couldn't decide on a representative.
The ward suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop clearly.
"Let Hua Hua go." Gu Yao paused for a moment, then explained, "She used to work at a law firm, so her legal knowledge should be slightly better than yours."
I certainly know better than any of you what to ask and how to ask it.
The crowd looked at each other.
After all, they had been arguing fiercely before they came here.
“I agree. I believe Nini’s mother won’t leave any of us behind,” Yangyang’s father spoke first.
Immediately afterwards, one after another, people cast their votes in favor.
Although a few people still looked rather grim, Zhou Chunhua readily took over the task.
Because she also wanted to know the whereabouts of Huang Tao and Lin Rui.
Then, Yangyang's father handed the document bag to her.
"Nini's mom, I'm entrusting Yangyang's whereabouts to you."
"I'm also asking you to help me find my son, Niu Niu, Mom."
"And my daughter."
"And my son."
"And my brother too."
"And me..."
At this moment, Zhou Chunhua felt an unprecedented weight of responsibility pressing down on her shoulders, as heavy as a thousand pounds.
She nodded in agreement only after the last person had finished speaking.
"Well... I'll leave Attorney Gu's situation to you."
"Don't worry, we'll take good care of Attorney Gu, Nini, and Tongtong," Yangyang's father said, patting his chest.
Immediately, the others echoed this sentiment, promising to take good care of the child and Gu Yao.
After quickly tidying up, Zhou Chunhua handed Nini and Tongtong over to Yangyang's father and headed to Qin Donglai's office.
As Qin Donglai said on the phone, after meeting in his office, they would go to see Wang Lin and Xu San together.
...
Interrogation room.
When Xu San was brought in, Zhou Chunhua almost didn't recognize him.
You should know that the Xu San she met in Ganxi Village was tall and burly, with muscles on his arms like small mountains.
And that roguish air about him, coupled with his cunning and shrewd appearance, how should I put it?
To put it simply, the Xu San she met in Ganxi Village was like a big bad wolf that had become a human.
But the Xu San in front of me, although tall, is not as... muscular as before.
He still had the muscles on his arms, but his honest and simple face was completely different from his usual self.
Furthermore, even his roguish air is gone!
Zhou Chunhua raised her eyebrows in surprise.
After Xu San sat down, Qin Donglai, as always, spoke a lot of words as if reciting an oath.
Simply put, it's about getting Xu San to realize his mistakes and confess honestly.
Xu San on the other side was surprisingly cooperative, immediately and sincerely saying that he would honestly confess and make amends for his crimes.
Zhou Chunhua couldn't help but wonder what Xu San had experienced in prison.
After all, there's a saying that goes, "It's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature."
How could a ruthless killer like Xu San reform himself in such a short time?
Lost in thought, Qin Donglai patted her on the shoulder.
Coming to her senses, Zhou Chunhua quickly opened the file bag and handed the prepared list to Qin Donglai.
Qin Dong glanced at it and then placed it in front of Xu San.
"Who are the people on this list? Where are they now?" After asking, Qin Donglai said, "Xu San, you must seize this opportunity to redeem yourself."
Otherwise, for all the things you did before, even ten death sentences wouldn't be enough.
Xu San nodded, then carefully looked at the list.
Zhou Chunhua didn't urge her, and waited quietly.
After a moment, Xu San spoke up: "Zhang Ziyang, I remember him. Eighteen years old, a very sunny boy. He was tricked into coming to Sha Tin Tsui by a fake job posting for summer workers."
Xu San raised his hand and pointed to his collarbone, saying, "He has a scar here."
Zhou Chunhua nodded.
Yangyang's father said that the scar on his collarbone was a scar left from when Yangyang was scalded by boiling water when he was a child.
"Where is he?" Qin Donglai asked.
Xu San glanced at her first before answering, "Wu Hao took them out. I remember that the group with Zhang Ziyang was wanted by an overseas casino. They should have been sent overseas."
I can't remember if it was twelve or thirteen in that batch. But Xu Xinyi and Jiang Zihan from this list were among them.
"How can you be so sure?" Qin Donglai asked again.
Xu San swallowed hard and said, "Because I raped Xu Xinyi when Wu Hao wasn't around."
Zhou Chunhua's heart skipped a beat, and just as she clenched her fist, a loud bang rang out beside her.
Qin Donglai slammed his fist on the table in anger.
He pointed at Xu San and roared, "She's only thirteen!"
"I know. But...she's too beautiful, I...I couldn't control myself. Because of this, I was even beaten by Wu Hao, so I still remember it very clearly." Xu San lowered his head.
Zhou Chunhua couldn't help but recall what Xinyi's mother had said.
She said that Xinyi was very beautiful from birth, and since all of her uncles and aunts had sons, Xinyi was the only girl in her generation.
So the whole family dotes on Xinyi.
Every year, the elders in the family buy Xinyi all sorts of dresses, so many that they can't all fit in the closet. If Xinyi wants anything, her family members fight over to buy it for her.
Xin Yi's mother said that she never expected that it was precisely this excessive pampering that would harm her daughter, Xin Yi.
This all started with their family gathering.
Xinyi's mother said that their whole family gets together every week.
So the adults gathered together to play mahjong, and to keep the children from making a fuss, they gave the children their phones to play with.
Therefore, Xinyi became obsessed with mobile phones from a young age.
