Chapter 18

After running through everything he could think of, Cheng Xin hung up the phone and collapsed directly onto the bed. Days of intense, high-pressure work had left him exhausted in both body and mind, but now he could finally relax. He closed his eyes, yet his thoughts began to churn. The case might look simple on the surface, but undercurrents were raging. Li Wei himself wasn't the scary part; the real issue was the Li Group's network of connections. Even though he had already secured some other evidence, Cheng Xin wasn't about to assume victory was certain. After all, nothing in this world was absolute. He had to make foolproof preparations to tilt the situation in his favor as much as possible in the courtroom! He slept deeply and heavily, waking only when evening had fallen. The sky outside the window was dyed a magnificent orange-red by the setting sun, resembling a heavily layered oil painting. He rubbed his drowsy, sleep-filled eyes and felt a soreness all over his body, as if he had been run over by a truck.
