Upon hearing this, Luo Chen smiled wryly and said, "I never imagined that one day I would need a lawyer to defend me."
Jiang Yilai comforted him, saying, "Life is unpredictable. No one knows when tomorrow or an accident will happen. You've helped me so much before, so let me help you this time."
Luo Chen leaned back weakly in his chair, but his face remained calm. If he were wrongly accused, he would certainly have a lot of excuses.
On the contrary, his calmness only proves that this incident is indeed related to him.
After a moment, Luo Chen sighed.
"Unfortunately, you can't defend yourself this time."
Jiang Yilai asked, puzzled, "At least tell me exactly what happened so I can help you. I trust your character, and even if you did do something like this, it was for justice."
Luo Chen widened his eyes slightly, and seeing her sincere gaze, he didn't keep her in suspense and nodded.
"Although I have no hope, I will still tell you the truth: I fabricated evidence in this matter."
Jiang Yilai nodded in surprise: "Then tell me, what exactly happened?"
Luo Chen clenched his fists, placed his hands on the table, and said through gritted teeth, "My sister met a man online two years ago. Despite her family's objections, she married him after dating for only a month."
Jiang Yilai nodded, but she never expected that Luo Chen, who was so shrewd and righteous, would have an impulsive younger sister.
"So, after she got married, was she unhappy?"
Luo Chen sighed: "That man only knows how to gamble all day long, and he's also an alcoholic. He comes home drunk every few days and beats her. At first, she didn't dare to let her family know and kept it a secret."
Judging from his resentful tone, Jiang Yilai could completely understand his feelings at the time.
Luo Chen took a deep breath and said, "It's also my fault for being too busy with work and not paying attention to her life. My family is also angry with her for getting married so rashly back then, and we rarely have contact with her."
Seeing his frustrated expression, Jiang Yilai comforted him, "You're usually so busy that it's normal that you haven't paid attention to these things. Don't blame yourself."
Luo Chen covered his face with his hands, trying to hide the sadness on his face.
Jiang Yilai sighed and said, "I believe this incident has been a huge blow to your family. You should try to get out as soon as possible. They are still grieving and need your help."
Jiang Yilai's words made him let go. With such a thing happening and him now being detained, wouldn't his sister's funeral arrangements be left to his grieving parents to handle?
Luo Chen suddenly realized what was happening and said excitedly, "Attorney Jiang, you must help me."
Seeing that he had regained his fighting spirit, Jiang Yilai nodded firmly: "Don't worry, I came here today to help you. Continue to tell me what happened."
Luo Chen took a deep breath, his face still showing self-reproach.
“My sister got pregnant a year after they got married. He beat her so badly that she was afraid to go home. He even threatened to kill her. She ran back when she had nowhere else to go, and that's when we learned about her tragic experiences over the past year.”
Jiang Yilai's face was full of heartache, and she nodded slightly, signaling him to continue.
“I have a bad temper. After I found out about this, I immediately rushed over and beat him up. Afterwards, he knelt down and begged for forgiveness, but my family firmly refused. After presenting evidence of domestic violence, the two of us got a divorce.”
Jiang Yilai nodded, then frowned and said, "Given his character, even if we get divorced, he probably won't let it go easily."
Luo Chen nodded: "That's right. After his divorce, he often came to beg her to get back together, and I hit him several times during that time."
