Jiang Wan took out a band-aid from her bag, tore it open, and tugged at Lu Jingshi's arm.

Lu Jingshi glanced at it and bent down slightly.

Jiang Wan carefully applied the plaster to his wound before calmly speaking.

"Lu Jingshi, I didn't do it, and I didn't take the case."

"If it wasn't you, then who is it? Your name is written in black and white, how can you deny it?"

The middle-aged woman's gaze swept back and forth between Jiang Wan and Lu Jingshi several times.

"No wonder they dared to do this! They had their boss backing them up. This is outrageous! Doesn't my daughter's life matter?"

"Distinguished leaders, you must give my daughter justice!"

She cried and screamed, and the male staff members from the Justice Bureau and the Public Security Bureau were somewhat at a loss.

"That's enough!"

Lu Jingshi shouted, "If crying and shouting could solve the problem, why are we wasting our time here?"

The woman clutched her chest, sobbing.

"My daughter is still lying in the freezer. There are so many people in the live stream. If even one person had talked to her, she wouldn't have done something so foolish."

"My husband passed away early, leaving just my daughter and me to depend on each other. I finally managed to send her to university, and now she's gone just like that. How can you expect me to accept this?"

"My heart aches just thinking about how much pain my daughter endured before she died."

Jiang Wan sniffed, forcefully suppressing the tears welling up in her eyes.

She saw Lin Yue's photo when she was organizing the materials.

She was a very clean and pretty girl with a youthful face and bright, sparkling eyes.

I never expected to hear from her again in this way.

She stepped forward and bowed deeply to Lin's mother.

"Auntie, I understand you're in pain because such a good girl like Lin Yue had to go through this. I'm also very sad."

"But I didn't do this, and I'm not the couple's representative."

"Our contracts are all in backup. I can cooperate with the investigation to get justice for Lin Yue, and also to get justice for myself."

Lin's mother looked at her, blinked, and her expression softened slightly.

"But aren't you Jiang Wan? Those two scoundrels said their lawyer is named Jiang Wan."

"Could you let me see the contract?"

The staff of the Justice Bureau took out several photos from their bag.

"This was posted online by the plaintiff. Someone took a screenshot of it on the day Lin Yue passed away."

Jiang Wan took it and carefully flipped through it page by page.

The content was all drafted by myself, and there were no problems, but the final signature...

"There's a problem here. I remember the person who was entrusted signed here, but now it's blank."

She turned to Fang Tian, ​​who was watching the show from the sidelines.

"Perhaps Director Fang can answer this question."

Fang Tian raised an eyebrow: "What does your case have to do with me?"

Jiang Wan pointed to the blank space in the document: "You signed here. I warned you that there was something wrong with this case, but you insisted on taking it."

Fang Tian's eyebrows shot up, and she immediately denied it.

"It's true that I hosted them, but I didn't draft the contract, nor did I sign it."

"Attorney Jiang, I understand how anxious you are, but you can't just make baseless accusations."

Jiang Wan remembered clearly that Fang Tian signed her own name and Lu Jingshi's name at the end of the message.

Moreover, the couple clearly had a lot of opinions about her back then, so why would they want her to act as their agent?

"Director Lu, esteemed leaders, the plaintiff should have another copy of the contract. Could you please contact them?"

The young policeman who came with him shook his head.

"These two have already immigrated. On the day of the traffic accident, they were there to process their immigration paperwork, which is why they were so brazen."

Lu Jingshi beckoned and called Xiao Wu in.

"Go check the background."

Xiao Wu quickly brought over a box of files, and Qian Xianxian also came in to help her search through them.

"Found it, Chief."

Xiao Wu took out a contract and handed it to Lu Jingshi.

Jiang Wan immediately leaned closer, her eyes following his movements as he flipped through the pages.

Lu Jingshi quickly turned to the last page, and Jiang Wan couldn't help but gasp.

"How could this happen?"

The last page, like the previous photo, has a blank signature area.

When her expectations were dashed, the light in Jiang Wan's eyes dimmed little by little, and a persistent low pressure enveloped her, making her feel suffocated as if she were wrapped in something.

Lu Jingshi took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Are you sure you've signed this contract?"

Jiang Wan nodded emphatically: "Right here in this office, I saw it with my own eyes. I was working overtime that night to organize the materials."

Fang Tian's eyes flickered slightly as she walked over: "Ah Shi, is everything here? Jiang Wan, she..."

"Shut up!"

Lu Jingshi gave a light shout, and Fang Tian immediately stopped in her tracks, her face flushed red with embarrassment.

"Xiao Wu, go check the surveillance footage from that day, and also the printer's authorization."

Xiao Wu responded and left, returning shortly afterward.

She glanced at Jiang Wan with pity.

"Director Lu, during the few days you were away on business, the surveillance cameras and printers were broken. They were repaired, and everything has been completely overwritten and restored."

Lu Jingshi's face was terribly grim: "What a coincidence? Who signed off on the repairs?"

"Deputy Director Zhao, neither you nor Director Fang were present at the time..."

"Zhao Kai?"

Lin's mother's emotions, which had just calmed down, became agitated again.

"What else do you have to say? All the evidence points to you as the one who killed my daughter!"

"I demand you pay for my daughter's life!"

She rushed towards Jiang Wan again, but was held down by the police.

Jiang Wan felt as if her heart had been soaked in cold water, a dense chill spreading through her, and even her shoulders slumped involuntarily.

"Auntie, although I don't know what happened, I really didn't take this case, nor did I instruct the plaintiff to commit any cyberbullying."

Lin's mother clearly didn't believe her: "The evidence is right here. You're still lying. Do you think you can't be dealt with just because someone's protecting you?"

"Jiang Wan! I will definitely kill you!"

Jiang Wan was about to speak again when someone grabbed her wrist.

"Ms. Lin," Lu Jingshi pulled Jiang Wan back, "I believe my people wouldn't do such a thing. Please give us some time, and we will definitely cooperate with the investigation."

He paused for a moment, then said, "I will personally cover all of Lin Yue's funeral expenses, including all your transportation and accommodation costs during the investigation phase."

"As for Attorney Jiang..."

"I'm temporarily suspended from my duties to cooperate with the investigation. We'll keep you informed as soon as there are any developments, okay?"

Lin's mother hesitated for a long time before glaring fiercely at Jiang Wan.

"Alright."

Lu Jingshi applied a little force, and Jiang Wan felt a soreness in her wrist, so she couldn't help but pull it out.

"Xiao Wu, call Wang Yiran at the branch office and ask her to come and pick up the person."

Jiang Wan immediately refused: "I can walk by myself!"

"No!"

Lu Jingshi looked at her with a gloomy expression, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"You were promoted from the branch office. Now that you're being sent back, the branch office should be the one to take you back, so that people know it's not that Kairong wronged you, but that you... were dismissed by Kairong."

The moment the words reached her ears, Jiang Wan's heart sank.

He... wanted to humiliate himself.

Pack your things, you'll be leaving soon.
