The old man’s most important need right now is psychological counseling.
During this ti, keep Old Fang company.”
Victory Gate.
The inscrutable red boulevard.
Fang Family residence.
Under the imnse scandal and the blow of losing his granddaughter, the soul of the Fang Family fell ill.
But thankfully, it was only an illness.
Despite his advanced age, he had access to a personal dical team.
If he had been an ordinary elderly person, a stroke of anger could have easily led to his death.
Regardless of how they felt inside about the current turmoil, many people ca to visit Old Fang when he fell ill, including Song Chaoge.
Fang Jun saw the visitors out.
“I understand.”
“Has the judgnt co out yet?”
“Mm, the death penalty.”
Song Chaoge nodded, “At least this can provide so solace to your sister’s spirit in heaven.”
“His life is worthless.
If anything happens to my grandfather, using his entire family as funeral offerings wouldn’t be enough to compensate!”
The case was settled, but the humiliation the family had endured was far from being erased.
Fang Jun was very clear about where the honor of his family originated.
Although his grandfather had long retired, “having an elder in the family is like possessing a jewel.” Even without actual power, many people listened to his grandfather’s words, as could be seen by the numbers of visitors during his illness.
Such elders are like a stabilizing needle in the sea; while they are around, it is difficult for a family to decline.
Without them, the significance changes.
That’s why this ti, everyone in the Fang Family was very anxious.
They all put aside their urgent affairs to return, unlike when they dealt with Fang Ai’s funeral arrangents, which were almost exclusively managed by Fang Jun alone, with his aunts and uncles rely showing their faces briefly.
And indeed.
Such disgrace.
If Fang Ai were still alive, she likely would have no place left in the Fang Family.
“Since you chose to hand the person over, and the court has already sentenced him, then don’t stir up any more trouble.
Harm shouldn’t reach his family; he’s already been sentenced to death, going after his parents will just bring you more sin without any aning.”
Song Chaoge spoke calmly, “When doing things, it’s best not to be too ruthless.
I’m not saying this for others, but for yourself.
Who knows, there might really be an afterlife.”
“Moreover, Old Fang certainly would not agree.
He’s already not in good health and can’t afford to be agitated any further.”
No one liked to be lectured.
Let alone soone like Fang Jun.
However, perhaps because of the way Song Chaoge spoke, Fang Jun felt no annoyance and listened patiently.
“The family of Ding He, I can leave them be, since they have nothing to do with this.
But the person who released that video…”
A chilling darkness flickered in Fang Jun’s eyes.
“Do you have any leads?”
Song Chaoge did not advise him to let things be.
A codian once said,
People who advise you to be generous without knowing the full story are the ones to stay away from because when lightning strikes them, you might get hit too.
Such a deep-seated resentnt could not be erased with the notion of taking a step back for a broader view.
“There were a few suspects initially, and today we have one more.”
Song Chaoge looked at him.
“You probably know this person, Brother Song.”
“Oh?”
“Who?”
“The current owner of Apang Palace, Jiang Chen.”
Hearing this na, Song Chaoge’s eyes flashed for a mont, then he calmly asked, “Why do you suspect him?”
“I ran into him at the courthouse this morning.
What a coincidence, right, Brother Song?”
“It is quite coincidental.”
“I thought so too.
So I did so digging and found sothing even more coincidental.”
Fang Jun explained with an indescribable tone, “He has a friend, nad Fang Qing, who works at Ding He’s law firm, and she’s also Ding He’s assistant.”
“That shouldn’t prove anything.”
“It doesn’t prove anything, but I also have a piece of physical evidence.”
“What evidence?”
“My sister left behind so notes.
After she was secretly fild, I asked her to write a list of suspects for , but we couldn’t find the list in her bedroom at the scene of the cri.
It was Ding He who took it.
So after we caught him, I made him hand it over.”
Fang Jun said, “The list was long, so I had to check it slowly.
After coming back from the courthouse, I looked through the list.”
“Did you find anything?”
“Mm.”
Fang Jun’s face expressionless, “At the end of the list, I saw Fang Qing’s na.”
Song Chaoge beca silent.
“And through the nanny’s account, there was a night, half a month ago, when my sister and Ding He ca back from outside and had a heated argunt.
It’s not clear what exactly happened; only that dead driver would know.”
Fang Jun now slightly regretted dealing with that oblivious white man.
Overco with rage, he hadn’t considered all the details.
But it was only a slight regret.
He was no judge; he didn’t need such convincing evidence.
“It’s not clear exactly what happened, but the nanny vaguely ntioned that it seed to involve Ding He entertaining guests outside.
I had soone check Ding He’s schedule for that day, and he had no appointnts planned.”
“You an, the lawyer was having an affair?”
“It’s unlikely he would dare to have an affair.
His body may be honest, but whether his spirit is equally so is another matter.
Incidentally, I also looked into Fang Qing.”
Fang Jun’s lips curved into a faint and finely drawn arch, “A few days before the video was leaked, quite coincidentally, she resigned.”
Song Chaoge was silent.
“Brother Song, when many coincidences stack up, don’t you think they stop being re coincidences?”
