Chapter 203 - Theres Still Someone Else (1/2)
”Mm, I tested him. How should I put it? Other than taking on some big lawsuits, I also settle civil disputes for some ordinary people who can't afford to proceed with lawsuits.
”Perhaps it's because he had been in prison before, and knows a little about the law, but the first thing he did after the incident was to take some photos. He came to me and asked for my help.
”I didn't agree, but he didn't look like he was lying. I told him that if he really didn't do it, he should turn himself in. As long as he was certain he hadn't done anything wrong, I would save him, no matter what.
”Then, he really turned himself in. He was beaten up a lot. He has a cowardly nature, but will act rashly if he's provoked. In the past, he was arrested and jailed after he got angry, made a lot of noise, and beat people up. So, I told him that if he wanted to be safe, he shouldn't act rashly, and he really endured it..
”When I went to see him, he cried aggrievedly. He said that he still had a mother at home, and asked me to take care of her.
”After that, I went to see his mother. She's the typical country villager, and she runs a noodle shop. I've heard that business isn't very good, but I've eaten there before, and the noodles taste pretty good.
”Who knows, you can go and try them?”
As a certain second brother spoke, he suddenly perked up and stared intensely at Lu An as he recommended the place, before he continued, ”But at that time, the shop was closed after being trashed, and there were insults spray-painted all over the walls. When I went, Auntie was crying and scrubbing at the graffiti.
”She said that Da Da had been pure and upright since he was young. He could dig his heart out and throw his life away for anyone who treated him well. As for anyone who treated him badly, he would go crazy and insist on making trouble for them.
”She asked me if there had been a misunderstanding. Her Dada wouldn't hurt someone for no reason. I told her that the girl who had been killed was only 27 years old. She was a world swimming champion and had a good reputation. She was passionate and always did charity.
”Then, Auntie didn't say anything and just sat in a daze on the step at the entrance. She was probably wondering what she should do if her son had really killed someone else. She then suddenly turned around and asked me if it was possible for her to go to jail on her son's behalf.
