Wei Qi glanced at Qin Xiao lightly, "Speak."

"You really can't let me go in and talk?" Qin Xiao pretended to be pitiful, "I can't finish talking in a while."

Wei Qi considered that it would be embarrassing if someone passed by and saw the stalemate at the door, so he could only retreat, "Leave after finishing speaking."

Seeing that Wei Qi's tough attitude showed signs of slack, Qin Xiao was almost too happy to dance, "Okay, no problem."

Although he and Qin Xiao had already divorced, Wei Qi still served him a cup of coffee, adhering to the principle that a visitor is a guest, and his words were not as sharp as before, "What's the matter, just tell me."

"How have you been recently? You seem to have lost weight, have you eaten well?"

Qin Xiao's cautious attitude was full of obvious concern. From just now, his gaze never left Wei Qi for half a second. Even when Wei Qi was making coffee in the kitchen, he was afraid of missing Wei Qi's back.

The Qin Xiao in front of him didn't have any of the high-spirited appearance when he first met him. The humble and insignificant gesture filled Wei Qi's heart with mixed emotions. He moved his lips and replied calmly, "I'm fine."

Since when did even the word "I'm fine" become a charity given by the other party?Qin Xiao tried his best to keep Wei Qi, even using despicable means, thinking that as long as Wei Qi's body was kept, this person's heart would be his sooner or later.

"That's fine, that's fine."

Qin Xiao pursed his thin lips, racking his brains to think about the lines he had rehearsed before, but found that his mind was blank.It's obviously full of love, but I don't know how to tell it now. Even if I tell it, how much will the person on the other side care?

"Is that all you want to say?" Wei Qi asked lightly.

Qin Xiao was afraid that Wei Qi would issue an order to evict the guests, so he quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, I have something else to say."

"Let's make a long story short, then."

When Wei Qi spoke, he frowned subconsciously, unexpectedly, such a subtle movement would fall into Qin Xiao's eyes exactly.The enthusiasm just now cooled down quickly, as if realizing something terrible, Qin Xiao's handsome face instantly turned pale, and his voice trembled slightly, "Is it already so unbearable for you to be alone with me?"

Qin Xiao's nonsensical words made Wei Qi puzzled, but he didn't bother to ask, so he simply lowered his eyes and kept quiet.

The silent silence hit Qin Xiao's heart like a sharp sword, and the pain of suffocation quickly spread to all limbs and bones like a virus. His slightly opened palm was clenched into a fist, and his nails almost sank into the tender palm.

"Qin Xiao, let's let each other go." Wei Qi raised his eyes and looked at Qin Xiao without dodging, "I don't hate you, I don't blame you, and you don't owe me anything, so you don't have to be so cautious in front of me .”

"Why can't you give me a chance to start over? Is my mistake so unforgivable?"

Wei Qi didn't want to give Qin Xiao a chance to start over, but after going through so many things, he no longer knew how to regain his trust in Qin Xiao.

"I'll give you a chance to start over, who gave me such a chance?" Wei Qi's lips had a faint smile, but his eyes turned sore unconsciously, "Qin Xiao, I gave you a chance, yes You chose to deceive me. I was deceived by you like a fool, but you want me to forgive you?"

"It's not that your mistakes are unforgivable, but that I don't love you so much that I can blindly follow you."

"Qin Xiao, you can't take it for granted that if you make a mistake, you can be forgiven as long as you repent. The three words "I'm sorry" can only fill up the surface cracks. The invisible scars on my heart will always remind me that you have betrayed me. I."

There was no anger in Wei Qi's eyes, but they were extremely tired. That kind of deadly silent eyes was what Qin Xiao was most afraid of facing.Without the heart-piercing hatred, there will be no deep-rooted love, which is an emotion more terrible than death.

"I have already resigned from the company, and I will return to the United States soon, and you can take care of yourself in the future."

"What did you say?" Qin Xiao opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

Looking at Qin Xiao's face, Wei Qi calmly repeated what he said just now, "I will return to the United States soon, and I will not come back in the future."

Qin Xiao's subconscious reaction was to keep Wei Qi, but after thinking about it, this city has left Wei Qi with too much sadness, and being able to leave here may also be a turning point for him and Wei Qi to start again.

"It's fine to leave, you have too many bad memories here." Qin Xiao lowered his head and muttered to himself, "Anyway, I can go to America with you."

"Qin Xiao, don't be stupid!" Seeing Qin Xiao's self-deception, Wei Qi, who had always been indifferent, finally became excited, "This is your home, your family, career and friends are all here , don’t you want them all?”

"What are those things coming for?" Qin Xiao said disapprovingly, "The only thing I want from the beginning to the end is you."

After a long time, Wei Qi's weak but determined voice echoed in the living room for a long time.

"Qin Xiao, we can't go back."

Not long after the court's first judgment, Li Yuan took the initiative to call Huo Heng, which surprised Huo Heng. After all, Li Yuan's attitude towards him was not friendly all the time.

Li Yuan and Huo Heng met at a coffee shop near the police station. When Huo Heng came, Li Yuan had already drank half a cup of coffee, "Do you want something to drink?"

"No need, I have to see the client later, let's make a long story short. Deputy Director Li, are you looking for me today because of Shen Mei's case?"

"That's right." Li Yuan asked with a light smile, "Didn't you always want to know if I used my position to wrong Shen Mei?"

"What do you mean?" Huo Heng joked, "You can't figure it out now, so you want to confess to me?"

Li Yuan picked up the coffee, took a sip, and what he said next made Huo Heng unforgettable for a long time.

"When I was in the police academy, the teacher taught me that the law is the only fair way to protect the victims in this world. I have always believed in this, and even after I stepped into the workplace, I kept those words in my heart. Always remind yourself to avenge the victim."

"Shen Mei's case has broken what I have always believed in."

"I still remember that day, the police station received a report, and then I led the police team to the scene. Before he entered the door, he heard a woman's hoarse cursing from inside the house. I rushed in and found that Shen Mei was holding on tightly. Wei Qi, shaking his body vigorously, yelled at us, calling him a murderer."

"Wei Qi was only seven or eight years old. At that time, my child was about his age. He was convulsed and trembling, and he looked so pitiful. I asked someone to take Shen Mei directly to the police station, but Shen Mei remained the same. Shouting that Wei Qi is the murderer, it's actually a bit difficult to identify the real murderer in such a scene, because Shen Mei's body is also stained with blood."

"Wei Qi was quite frightened. I comforted him for a long time before he calmed down a little. I felt compassion for that child from the very beginning. I took him back to the police station and found a clean bedroom for him. After staying for a few days, I didn't expect him to hide in the corner, and didn't close his eyes for several days and nights."

"When I visited the neighbor at the scene of the crime, I deliberately dismissed other colleagues in the investigation team and went to take notes alone. The neighbor's explanation was similar to what I thought. Shen Mei was a prostitute who lived on prostitution. Qi beats and scolds, and sometimes the neighbors can't stand it anymore and will take Wei Qi to stay at home for a few days, but in the end they can't hold back Shen Mei's insistence and will send him back."

"At that time, I thought that if Wei Qi killed someone, he wouldn't be sentenced according to his age, but he would still have to live with a mother like Shen Mei for the rest of his life. Mei goes to jail, then Wei Qi can be sent to an orphanage and live a new life."

"The law can judge a murderer, but it cannot judge an unqualified mother."

"So I acted selfishly, and I lured Wei Qi to testify. I told Wei Qi that as long as he is willing to identify Shen Mei as the murderer, then he won't have to return to Shen Mei's side for the rest of his life."

"The child's heart is very innocent, and he gave the answer I wanted almost without hesitation. Soon, Shen Mei was prosecuted by us, and the court trial came down very quickly. Shen Mei was imprisoned for 22 years like this. "

"I never regretted my original decision, nor did I expect that because of Shen Mei's case, I would be promoted soon. I was not very happy. The bad roots of the law were almost revealed in Shen Mei's case. The so-called fairness is not fair. , All justice can only be won by oneself.”

"If I hadn't chosen to defend Wei Qi back then, would Wei Qi have escaped from Shen Mei's clutches? The answer is obvious."

"Lawyer Huo, the reason why I tell you this is because I know you are the same as I used to be. We insist that the truth is justice, but often times, the truth is the source of evil."

"I don't regret my decision back then, even if I do it all over again, I will still do it."

On the way back to the office, Li Yuan's words kept echoing in Huo Heng's mind, and he began to question, what exactly does he want as a lawyer?Is it famous?Or to satisfy vanity?

Huo Heng couldn't deny that he took Shen Mei's case because he thought it was a good opportunity to make him famous in the industry, but when all the truth was torn apart, he didn't feel any pleasure.

As Li Yuan said, the truth is not necessarily fair.

Huo Heng walked along the road, parked the car aside, and called the court, "I am Shen Mei's attorney, and according to my client's wishes, she wants to withdraw the case."
