Cheng Xin took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in his chest, looked at Zhang Qiang, and said in a deep voice:
"Zhang Qiang, don't worry, I will definitely help you get justice!"
Hearing this, Zhang Qiang couldn't help but raise his head.
Seeing Cheng Xin's serious expression, a flash of hope crossed his eyes, but it quickly faded away.
"Lawyer Cheng, I know you are a good lawyer, and you're also the first lawyer who has expressed willingness to take on my case."
"But Li Wei's background is too powerful. You can't win against him..."
"Whether we can win or not, we'll only know after trying!"
Before he could finish, Cheng Xin directly interrupted him.
"Do you remember the question you asked me last night?"
"At that time, I was wondering what kind of oppression could drive an honest person to harbor thoughts of murder."
"Now I've figured it out—it's this kind of injustice! It's this kind of despair!"
"As a lawyer, I will never let this kind of injustice continue!"
"So Zhang Qiang, don't worry, the law will definitely give you justice."
"Go back and wait for my news for now. During this time, don't act rashly and protect yourself well, understand?"
With that, Cheng Xin patted Zhang Qiang on the shoulder.
Cheng Xin could tell that Zhang Qiang's state of mind was still somewhat unstable.
He was genuinely afraid that while he was making preparations, Zhang Qiang might lose his mind and choose to take revenge with his own hands!
Zhang Qiang's eyes were red and his lips trembled, and in the end, he only choked out a nod.
He left the law firm, looking back every few steps.
After seeing Zhang Qiang off, Cheng Xin carefully organized the documents he had brought and rubbed his throbbing temples.
Outside the window, the sunlight was just right, but his mood was as heavy as a rainy day.
When the time reached one o'clock in the afternoon, Cheng Xin set off punctually for the cafe where he had arranged to meet Su Mu.
Pushing open the cafe door, Cheng Xin spotted Su Mu at a glance.
Today, she was wearing a sharp, professional OL outfit, different from the short hair she had back in school.
Her waist-length, jet-black hair fell loosely over her shoulders, and her exquisite makeup made her skin look even fairer than snow.
Her whole person exuded an intellectual and elegant temperament.
Cheng Xin couldn't help stopping in his tracks.
Even having lived two lifetimes, he was still struck by Su Mu's beauty.
Not to mention everything Su Mu had done for him in his previous life.
It made an indescribable tenderness well up deep inside his heart.
Su Mu seemed to sense Cheng Xin's gaze, turned to look at him, a gentle smile blooming at the corners of her lips as she waved lightly.
"Cheng Xin, over here!"
Cheng Xin snapped out of it and walked quickly to sit opposite Su Mu.
However, when Su Mu raised her head to meet his gaze, she felt her heart skip a beat.
Cheng Xin's eyes... seemed different from usual.
It was a complex emotion, containing tenderness, pity, and a hint of... romantic affection?
Could it be...
This blockhead has finally figured things out?
He realizes he likes me?
As soon as this thought appeared, Su Mu's cheeks couldn't help but flush slightly, and her heart began to race uncontrollably.
From the time they met until now, it had been five years.
Five years!
This wooden-headed guy had finally seen the light!
Yet Cheng Xin was completely unaware of the ripples in Su Mu's heart.
Pulling himself away from the memories of his past life, he handed Zhang Qiang's case files to Su Mu.
"Take a look at this first."
Su Mu was slightly stunned; this was not quite what she had expected.
Since he was looking at her like that, shouldn't a passionate confession follow...?
Does this blockhead even understand what she meant?!
Although her heart was in turmoil, Su Mu suppressed her feelings and didn't say anything.
She would help him handle this matter first, and then properly train this man—he was just too clueless...
Su Mu took the documents and began to read them carefully.
As a law student and now a journalist, she naturally possessed sharp observation and analytical skills, and she quickly grasped the ins and outs of the case.
After finishing reading, Su Mu couldn't help boiling with righteous indignation.
"This is too outrageous! It's simply a trampling on the law!"
"I will definitely expose this matter and make that Li Wei face legal sanctions!"
"That's what I think, too."
Seeing that she was still as intolerant of evil as he remembered, Cheng Xin chuckled softly and nodded.
"However, Li Wei's background runs deep, so we must proceed with caution."
Then, beneath the warm sunlight, the two began to discuss a specific action plan.
Upon learning that Cheng Xin had already published a video, Su Mu directly decided to start with online public opinion.
She would use social media platforms to publish relevant information and draw public attention.
At the same time, utilizing her identity as a journalist, she began to secretly investigate the backgrounds of Li Wei and his father, searching for more solid evidence.
Cheng Xin began studying the legal details of the case, preparing to file a lawsuit the moment an opportunity to overturn the verdict arose.
To avoid alerting the enemy, both of them were extremely cautious and carried out their work in secret.
While the two of them were making their arrangements, public opinion on the internet had already begun to ferment.
Because of the video Cheng Xin published last night, more and more netizens started paying attention to the case of Zhang Qiang's wife.
They successively condemned Li Wei's vicious acts and the authorities' inaction.
Some even went so far as to accuse officials and businessmen of shielding each other!
They demanded that the police reopen the investigation!
...
Humming a tune without any particular melody, Li Wei stepped out of his flashy bright-pink Lamborghini.
Walking with his toes pointed outward, he swaggered into his family's corporate building.
The little model from last night was indeed quite a treat, leaving him with a lingering aftertaste.
It was just a pity that his stamina had declined somewhat recently.
In the past, a single pill could keep him full of vigor all night, but now it took three.
And he still had to wait twenty minutes for the medicine to take effect.
It seemed he needed to find an old friend to exchange for some stronger stuff.
Pondering these underhanded matters in his heart, Li Wei entered the interior of the company.
In the company lobby, when the employees saw Li Wei's figure, they were like mice seeing a cat.
They all lowered their heads, wishing they could shrink into cracks in the floor.
Li Wei was long used to this; he relished the feeling of being feared.
As he passed by a hot-figured female employee, he raised his hand without hesitation and slapped her on the backside.
Feeling the resilience beneath his palm, he let out a lewd, quiet chuckle.
The female employee dared not speak out in anger and could only bite her lip, enduring the humiliation.
After all, she still needed this job to maintain her livelihood.
Especially given the power and influence of the Li family father and son, if she resigned, she would either have to change careers or move to another city.
Otherwise, City A truly wouldn't have any place for her to stay!
Li Wei walked straight toward the private elevator; this elevator could only be used by him and his old man, showcasing their supreme status in the company.
The elevator doors slowly closed, shutting out the ant-like employees outside, and a contemptuous smile appeared on Li Wei's face.
Arriving at the top-floor office, Li Wei plopped down into the leather executive chair.
Crossing his legs, he lit a cigar and began blowing out rings of smoke.
Here, he was heaven itself, and no one could do a thing to him!
