Chen Ye, I want to hear what you think.

Chen Ye felt his heart skip a beat.

What could he possibly think?

Of course, he didn't want to accept it.

This case is a black hole, an ultimate mess that can swallow people whole, skin and bones.

I lived a miserable life in my past life, and now I can finally enjoy life.

Why should he do this for someone who is completely unrelated to him?

Are you risking your life against an invisible, massive system?

All he wanted was to make money, pick up girls, and make up for all the bad times he hadn't had in the past.

He could only say these words to himself.

He took a deep breath, trying to appear calmer and more rational.

"I don't want to answer."

He chose the most direct answer.

Liu Huan looked at him quietly, waiting for him to continue.

"From the law firm's perspective, this case does more harm than good."

Chen Ye began his analysis, which was also what the original owner had left him with his greatest strength.

"If we win, how much will we gain? Our Juncheng brand."

The case has already been thoroughly investigated and resolved.

There's no need to embellish things with such high-risk cases.

"But what if we lose, or something goes wrong during the process?"

We destroyed more than just Juncheng's brand.

He paused, took a step closer, and lowered his voice.

"And we've offended a lot of people we shouldn't have."

"Liu Huan, this is your law firm, the empire you've built with so much hard work."

I don't want my impulsiveness to drag you and the entire Juncheng Group into this quagmire.

He spoke eloquently and his words were all reasonable.

Every word conveyed a sense of calm and a responsible attitude towards the law firm.

This is also one of his truest thoughts deep in his heart.

He could wallow in the mud himself, but he didn't want to drag Liu Huan down with him.

Liu Huan listened quietly.

After he finished speaking, she suddenly smiled.

That smile no longer held the cunning and allure of before.

Instead, it carries a kind of... all-knowing gentleness.

She stared at Chen Ye for a long time.

It went on for so long that Chen Ye started to feel a little uncomfortable.

"turn out to be……"

She spoke slowly, drawing out the two words with a hint of sudden realization and a touch of irony.

"You care about me that much?"

boom!

Chen Ye felt like his CPU had been overheated by that sentence.

The "Attorney Chen" who was just moments ago so composed instantly lost his composure.

All his rational analysis, all his weighing of pros and cons.

They were all shattered by that flippant rhetorical question.

In an instant, Liu Huan's aura changed.

She is no longer the aloof, calculating law firm queen.

She stood up from the boss's chair, walked around the large desk, and approached Chen Ye step by step.

The wine-red skirt swayed gently with her movements.

She walked up to Chen Ye and looked up at his breathtakingly beautiful face.

"Chen Ye, what you just said is all correct."

"But you can't fool me."

"You do want to take this case, don't you?"

Chen Ye opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

Yes.

Damn it, yes.

I heard that the young man named Hao Bin was swiftly executed.

I heard that the deputy director named Wen Guodong lost his family in his attempt to overturn the case.

His heart was that of a rogue, selfish man who only wanted to enjoy himself.

And then a damned flame was ignited.

He recalled his past life when he was drowned in a lake by gangsters, and the helplessness and despair he felt.

He hated this feeling.

He despises even more those who are arrogant and trample on the fate of others.

He wanted to take them down.

With this body he now possesses, with this damn "legal instinct."

Looking at his silent expression, Liu Huan understood everything.

She suddenly reached out and gently stroked his cheek.

"If you want to take the job, I will definitely support you to the end."

Her movements were very light and gentle.

"Don't try to calculate the gains and losses with me, I don't care about that little bit of money."

She winked playfully at her peach blossom eyes.

"The money we've earned over the years is enough for the two of us to live five lifetimes without doing anything."

Besides, I don't only have Juncheng as my business.

"I'll be with you if you're willing."

I'll be with you.

These two words carry more weight than any promise.

The impact was so severe that Chen Ye felt as if his heart had been violently struck.

He looked at the woman in front of him.

She is clearly a businesswoman who calculates profits to the core, a charming and manipulative enchantress.

But now, she is willing to risk everything for his unrealistic idea.

【Hold……】

[Who the hell can handle this...]

"and……"

Liu Huan changed the subject, and a shrewd and confident smile returned to her face.

"High risk, high reward."

Have you ever thought about what would happen if we actually won and overturned this shocking injustice that has been suppressed for so many years...?

"Then Juncheng will no longer be number one in Xincheng."

She tiptoed and whispered in Chen Ye's ear, her breath sweet as orchids.

"We are a truly top-tier law firm in China. The kind that doesn't back down."

The scope of the situation instantly broadened.

Chen Ye was completely defeated.

All hesitation and retreat seemed so ridiculous at this moment.

He never expected that this woman, who always seemed to put her own interests first, would go to such lengths for him.

He thought about it for a long time, so long that Liu Huan thought he was going to refuse.

Finally, he raised his head, and in those eyes that always carried a hint of roguishness, there was an unprecedented determination.

"it is good."

"Then let's go and have a look at this damned power."

Liu Huan smiled, a bright and captivating smile.

"However..." Chen Ye changed the subject, looking at her solemnly, "You have to promise me one thing."

"This time, I only announced to the public that I personally took on this case, and that it has nothing to do with Juncheng Law Firm."

"If something really goes wrong, I'll take full responsibility."

He paused, then added the second half of the sentence.

"If... we really win, then this glory will be earned by the entire Juncheng team."

The smile on Liu Huan's face slowly faded.

She just stared at Chen Ye without saying a word.

Emotions surged within those beautiful peach blossom eyes.

There was emotion, heartache, and a sense of... the joy of being cherished.

She didn't say anything.

Suddenly, she stood on tiptoe.

A gentle kiss was placed on his forehead.

It was very light and soft, with a slight coolness and her unique fragrance.

"Don't worry, I'll always support you."

Chen Ye was still a little dazed when he walked out of Liu Huan's office.

The soft touch seemed to linger on my forehead.

He returned to the office of the public welfare department.

As soon as the door opened, everyone's eyes were immediately drawn to him.

Nervous, expectant, uneasy.

Wen Yi, who was lying on the table, also raised her tear-streaked face and stared at him without moving.

The entire office was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Chen Ye ignored everyone's reactions.

He walked straight to his seat and sat down.

Then, he slowly raised his head and looked around.

"President Liu, you agree."

He spoke calmly.

boom!

The atmosphere in the office was instantly ignited.

An Ran and Li Zhe let out a suppressed cheer almost simultaneously.

Wang Hao was so excited that his face turned bright red.

Wen Yi's body trembled violently as she stared blankly at Chen Ye.

Chen Ye raised his hand and pressed it down.

The office fell silent again instantly.

"but."

He looked at everyone and spoke, word by word.

"I intend to accept this commission in my own name."

These words stunned the three young men who had just been full of enthusiasm.

They're not stupid.

They immediately understood the meaning behind those words.

In one's own name.

It means all the risks and all the pressure.

All the open and covert attacks will be borne by Chen Ye alone.

It has nothing to do with the law firm.

It has nothing to do with them.

An Ran's lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but Chen Ye stopped her with a gesture.

"Wow--"

A heart-wrenching cry shattered the silence of the office.

Wen Yi could no longer hold on.

All the hope, despair, grievances, gratitude... at this moment, completely broke through the dam.

Her legs went weak, and she slid off the chair and knelt on the ground, facing Chen Ye, crying uncontrollably.

The cries were heart-wrenching and utterly unrestrained.

"Thank you... thank you so much... Attorney Chen..."

She cried and thanked him incoherently, her body trembling uncontrollably.

"Thank you... thank you all..."

An Ran could no longer hold back and rushed over to support her, her own tears falling as well.

Li Zhe and Wang Hao, two grown men, both had tears in their eyes.

They looked at Chen Ye with a gaze that was no longer one of worship.

It was a kind of... awe that bordered on faith.

They thought the teacher was just trying to gain the support of the law firm.

Unexpectedly, he took on all the burdens by himself.

What courage and responsibility that is!

Only Qin Kexin.

She neither cried nor became agitated.

She stood quietly in the corner, silently watching everything.

Looking at the man who was regarded as a hero by everyone.

Her heart was not filled with passion, but only with waves of tightness, heartache, and worry.

Others only see the halo.

Only she saw the figure walking alone into the abyss beneath the halo.

Chen Ye neither helped Wen Yi nor paid attention to the gazes of the three young people.

He simply turned around amidst the chaos.

He gave Qin Kexin a deep look.

Then, he nodded slightly to her.

That one glance speaks volumes.
