Chen Xingshen paused for a moment, stopped, and turned to look at Shen Ye.
To be precise, the court hearing was the first time they met, but it was the first time they had met since they grew up. Yet, just one glance was enough for him to remember it.
He didn't want to take that case at first, but someone offered him 100 million to return to China to handle it, so the law firm took it without telling him.
He was only told this after the contract was already signed, and since he couldn't break the contract, he had no choice but to follow the company's arrangements.
When he received the information from the person in charge and saw that name, he was overjoyed.
How could Chen Xingshen not be happy when someone he hadn't seen or even been able to find for many years had appeared and was waiting for him to save them?
Although he was afraid that it was just someone with the same name, he still decided to return to China with a glimmer of hope.
To be honest, after Chen Xingshen learned about the case, he wasn't confident that he could get Shen Ye released without charge. However, the mysterious person who hired him at a high price said that he hoped he would do his best to ensure that Shen Ye wouldn't have to serve such a long time in prison, because the case could very well result in a sentence of more than five years in prison.
In the end, Chen Xingshen did not disappoint the mysterious man; Shen Ye was only sentenced to six months.
"Have you forgotten? When I was twelve, at the orphanage." Chen Xingshen looked pained, thinking that Shen Ye remembered him.
Upon hearing this, Shen Ye frantically searched his mind for memories of the original owner when he was twelve years old, but it had been too long, and the original owner probably couldn't remember them anymore.
Judging from his expression, Chen Xingshen knew he had forgotten. He continued, "When I was twelve, I was so hungry that I fought with a dog for a bone. You took me home and had my aunt cook me a hot meal. That was the best meal I've ever had."
Although Chen Xingshen's voice was no different from usual, Shen Ye could detect anger in it.
Shen Ye tried hard to recall, and it seemed like he remembered something like that.
Because the original owner's family was not wealthy and could not afford to send two children to school, the original owner's parents cruelly sent Chen Xingshen to an orphanage.
"It's you, but your name..."
But in the original owner's memory, his name wasn't Chen Xingshen.
"Chen Xingshen is the name the director of the orphanage gave me," Chen Xingshen explained.
Seeing that Shen Ye seemed a little unable to accept it, Chen Xingshen continued, "Let's go eat first, and talk while we eat."
It turns out that Chen Xingshen was sponsored by a kind person all the way to university because of his outstanding performance in the orphanage, and was even sent abroad to study.
It's fair to say that without that kind-hearted person, there would be no Chen Xingshen today.
After Chen Xingshen achieved some success, he searched for the original owner of the body many times, but to no avail, because there were many people with the same name in the country, but none of them were Lin Yanhuan from City C.
"I'm sorry that you had to serve six months in jail."
"You've done your best to get me a lenient sentence; I should be thanking you."
Yes, back then, even if it were the world's best lawyer, let alone Chen Xingshen, they couldn't have gotten Shen Ye acquitted in that case.
After finishing his meal, Shen Ye went back to the company to work overtime, while Chen Xingshen stayed by his side. Although he couldn't help, he could keep Shen Ye company.
It was already late at night when the two returned to Jingyuan. After saying goodnight to each other, they went home to wash up and go to sleep.
Unable to sleep at night, he took out his phone and searched online for information about his case.
The victim was Jiang Chen's grandmother. How could the media not report on something like this happening to such a prominent figure?
Before searching, Shen Ye had already prepared himself for being attacked by keyboard warriors, but he couldn't find anything about the case.
