After Lu Qingwan finished speaking, she glared at Zhou Qi and said, "What are you all standing there for? Drive!"
Zhou Qi rubbed his forehead where he had been hit: "So fierce, be careful you won't be able to get married in the future."
Lu Qingwan raised her hand, and Zhou Qi quickly straightened his posture and started driving.
Ye Jingchi was a very steady driver, and the car stopped at the designated location.
Before the car door could even open, a figure rushed over and blocked Ye Jingchi's path.
"Commander Ye, why haven't you fulfilled your promise to me?" Sang Zhi questioned angrily.
Ye Jingchi frowned slightly. He had instructed Tong Danian, so could it be that the matter had not been accomplished?
"Sang Zhi, I asked you to find Tong Danian, did you look for him?"
“I looked for him, but Tong Danian said the case has been closed and the guilty verdict has been handed down!” Sang Zhi said, heartbroken.
"Then there's nothing I can do." Ye Jingchi spread his hands.
He agreed to help, but now that he's been convicted, what can he do? He can't exactly go and break him out of prison, can he?
Sang Zhi burst into tears: "You're all liars! You're all liars!"
Li Ying was confused, but she understood a few key words: conviction and imprisonment.
Whose business are you talking about?
“His fiancé,” Ye Jingchi explained.
Sang Zhi's fiancé?!
No wonder Sang Zhi was willing to risk losing her reputation to follow Ye Jingchi; it turns out her fiancé was in trouble.
"He's clearly not the one in the wrong, he's clearly innocent, so why is this happening? Why?"
Sang Zhi wept uncontrollably.
She always thought Ye Jingchi could help her, but she never expected that she had overestimated Ye Jingchi's abilities.
"Xiao Zhi."
Jing Yingyan got out of another car, walked quickly to Sang Zhi, his face somber: "I know you can't accept this result right now, but you have to believe..."
Snap!
Sang Zhi slapped Jing Yingyan hard, gritting her teeth: "Jing Yingyan, you know the whole story best! Why won't you tell the truth?"
"I'm telling the truth!"
"You're not telling the truth! He was clearly taking the blame for someone else. You knew all this, but you refused to say anything and just watched him go to jail, is that it? You all appear to be from prestigious families, but the things you did were so despicable! I hate you! I despise you!"
Sang Zhi, her voice hoarse with exhaustion, turned and ran away.
Jing Yingyan clenched his fist, but quickly regained his composure.
Li Ying seemed to have overheard something; this matter must be related to her second brother.
"Ye Jingchi, what is Sang Zhi's fiancé's name?"
Ye Jingchi glanced at Jing Yingyan and said, "Li Ting."
Li Ying took a step back, and sure enough, it was her second brother.
"You want my second brother's fiancée to be your girlfriend, Ye Jingchi, how could you do that?"
“She’s not your second brother’s fiancée; it’s just wishful thinking on her part,” Jing Yingyan explained.
"And you!" Li Ying glared angrily. "You said your leg was crippled because of my second brother, and that I treated you not so that my second brother could get away with it. But today, it seems there's more to this than meets the eye. What are you hiding?"
Jing Yingyan lowered his voice: "Li Ying, I can't explain this to you clearly in a short time, so don't ask anymore."
Since she wasn't allowed to ask, Li Ying couldn't possibly ignore Sang Zhi.
Just then, Lu Qingwan and Zhou Qi also got off the bus.
"Zhou Qi, go find out where Sang Zhi is and bring her to the courtyard. I have some questions for her."
“Li Ying…” Jing Yingyan hesitated before speaking.
Seeing that the situation was indeed serious, Ye Jingchi immediately grabbed Li Ying's hand and said, "It seems that your mood today is not suitable for attending this pharmaceutical meeting. Let's go back."
Is Li Ying still in the mood to attend the pharmaceutical conference?
When she visited him in prison before, her second brother told her not to get involved in the matter or contact anyone. She listened to her second brother and did not do anything to salvage the situation. It seems that there are still many secrets behind her second brother's case.
Back at the courtyard house, Li Ying was in a terrible mood and vomited for a while.
Ye Jingchi brought over some brown sugar water. "Drink some water first, and don't get angry."
"Tell me what you know first."
Ye Jingchi wants to help Sang Zhi, so he will definitely listen to Sang Zhi's account of the facts. Therefore, he must know some things as well.
"Your second brother, Li Ting, and Jing Yingyan were in the same unit, with a superior-subordinate relationship. During a mine-clearing operation, a decision was made incorrectly, and an accident occurred. Jing Yingyan's leg was injured, and several soldiers died. This incident was blamed on your second brother. According to Sang Zhi, the specific reason was that Sang Zhi accidentally entered the minefield that day, and Jing Yingyan ordered her to enter the minefield to save her, but in the end, your second brother took full responsibility."
Li Ying clenched her fists, never expecting things to turn out this way.
"Actually, Sang Zhi and Jing Yingyan are in a romantic relationship. Jing Yingyan was worried that if this matter were investigated, it would lead to Sang Zhi, so he concealed the truth."
It was Sang Zhi's guilty conscience that led her to try to overturn Li Ting's case, but her family suffered a sudden change, and her whole family ran away, leaving her all alone. Sang Zhi had no choice but to ask Ye Jingchi for help.
This led to the scene where Sang Zhi pretended to be Ye Jingchi's girlfriend.
"My second brother is really stupid!"
“Li Ying, I think there are many unspeakable things about this matter. Otherwise, given Tong Danian’s family background, it’s impossible that he couldn’t handle it.”
If even Tong Danian is powerless to help, it can only mean that there is more to the story.
Therefore, if Sang Zhi continues to investigate, it may not be good for Li Ting.
What are you trying to say?
Ye Jingchi held Li Ying's wrist: "I initially wanted to help Sang Zhi, but now it seems we can't help her."
Li Ying stood up angrily: "That's my second brother!"
“Li Ying, there are many soldiers on the front lines. They are all children with fathers and mothers. You are not the only one with an older brother.”
"It's Jing Yingyan..."
Li Ying stopped. Jing Yingyan didn't seem like the type to talk nonsense, so why was he doing this?
Could it be...?
Ye Jingchi nodded slightly: "Li Ying, don't pursue this matter for now, otherwise it might put your second brother in more danger."
Li Ying thought for a moment and nodded.
The second brother was willing to take the blame for Jing Yingyan; there must be a reason they didn't know.
Zhou Qi quickly brought Sang Zhi to the courtyard house.
Upon seeing Li Ying, Sang Zhi still couldn't believe it: "Li Ting is your second brother?"
Li Ying nodded: "I came to the capital for my second brother's sake, but when I visited him in prison, he told me not to investigate this matter."
"You won't investigate just because I tell you not to? Do you know that your second brother is innocent?!"
“I know, but he must have his reasons for doing this, otherwise my second brother wouldn’t be covering for someone for no reason. Miss Sang, I understand your passion, but if my second brother knew, he would also stop you from doing this.”
Sang Zhi silently shed tears.
"Was I wrong?"
"Miss Sang, I am very grateful for your kindness. From now on, you can live in the courtyard house, is that alright?"
Sang Zhi looked up in surprise, and after a long while shook her head: "I don't want to see Jing Yingyan."
"Don't worry, as long as you live here, our courtyard will no longer welcome Jing Yingyan!"
