Jing Tian: "That's right! This is not a suspicion; in my view, this is a fact because it would be too coincidental otherwise. Li Chuan only ca to Wulin County on the second day, except for yesterday because my sister offended Young Master Jin, he was with us the whole ti. He couldn't have had a grudge with the Cyan Wolf Gang."
Qu Liancheng frowned: "The Cyan Wolf Gang is becoming increasingly lawless."
Jing Tian felt a sense of relief and hurriedly said: "Old Qu, can you help ?"
Qu Liancheng shook his head: "In the current situation, without evidence, even if I want to help you, there's nothing I can do."
"What you said might be the truth, but do you have evidence to prove that these actions are instigated by the Jin family behind the scenes?"
"You don't."
"Neither do I."
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you should go back. As for , I'll enjoy a couple more years of leisure before retirent. I don't want to get involved in these matters anymore; let things be as they may."
Qu Liancheng shook his head, indicating that he didn't want to get involved in this matter.
Jing Tian panicked and said quickly: "Old Qu! Director Qu! I know, only you have the ability to handle this, and only you would help!"
"I know! Even though you're on sick leave, your mind is still on your work. In your heart, all you care about is the ordinary people!"
"Yes! Wulin County is full of corruption right now, which is exactly why we need you more than ever!"
"Don't you want to leave Wulin County clear and bright before you retire?"
Qu Liancheng's face showed a mocking smile: "So things aren't solved just because I want them to be."
"People have degenerated, morals have declined, I'm just a rough fighter, the officialdom's grudges aren't sothing a re martial artist like can interfere with. The truth in ordinary matters is often obscured. Even if I wanted to help you, I wouldn't know where to start."
"Going along with the crowd, sharing the benefits, raising everyone together. I cannot do that. Because that's not my belief."
"All I can do now is do my best."
"Of course, by saying this, I must have disappointed you greatly."
"Even I am disappointed in myself."
"That being said, how many in Wulin County's officialdom can claim to be like , because my conscience is clear!"
Jing Tian persisted: "Don't you see this as an opportunity to reform Wulin County's officialdom?"
"Li Chuan entered the fray, already tearing open a large hole in this darkness. If we retreat now, wouldn't we be missing a great opportunity?"
"Is allowing lawless elents to run rampant your belief?"
Qu Liancheng was full of feeling: "To say the least, your driver is indeed a good man, I'm impressed."
Jing Tian, looking disappointed: "Is that all? Old Qu, you really let down!"
Jing Tian originally thought Qu Liancheng would definitely help, but unexpectedly, the latter directly refused!
Watching Jing Tian's departing figure, Qu Liancheng's eyes revealed depth: "My belief is forged by blood, shoulders bearing the way; with the world in mind, unwavering determination!"
…
After leaving Qu Liancheng's house, Jing Tian got into her Audi, feeling as if all her strength had left her, just sitting in the driver's seat.
At this mont, Jing Tian suddenly felt how insignificant and tragic she was.
Because no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't save Li Chuan.
Without evidence, Li Chuan could be sentenced to life imprisonnt, or even the death penalty, due to a street fight and attempted murder!
This is the ending those people wish to see.
And she, powerless to change it, unable to prove Li Chuan's innocence.
Jing Tian hated her own incompetence deeply.
"No! I can't just give in! Li Chuan entered the fray for the sake of reforming Wulin County's officialdom. Since he's not even originally from Wulin County and he could do this, how can I back down?"
"Li Chuan, you really gave a difficult problem as your leader!"
…
At that ti, Li Chuan was already in the hospital, having just completed a dical examination.
Severe concussion, ten broken ribs, multiple bruises on the body, internal injuries.
The severity of these injuries completely fits the standard for self-defense.
Of course, not everyone agreed with such a result.
Jin Anquan stood by Li Chuan's hospital bed with a stern expression: "Li Chuan, do you have anything to say about your actions of murder?"
Li Chuan was wrapped in bandages all over, looking very miserable.
If you're going to act, you have to act convincingly.
If those who knew him, especially Nangong Chunshui or people from the Seven Kills Sect, saw him, they'd probably doubt their eyesight.
A grand cultivator in the Foundation Establishnt Realm, to have made himself look like this? That's quite a talent!
"Murder? That was self-defense. If I hadn't killed them, I would have been hacked to death by them!" Li Chuan tried to make his voice sound weak.
Jin Anquan signaled the nearby team mbers to leave the ward, then pulled up a chair and sat beside Li Chuan: "Li Chuan, this street brawl, you killed five Cyan Wolf mbers, the nature is extrely vile and inhumane. I hope you can turn back before it's too late, admit your cri, and then reform."
"As long as you cooperate, I'll certainly help you get a reduced sentence!"
Li Chuan sneered: "I acted in self-defense, why should I admit to a cri? Director, don't you think what you're saying is ridiculous?"
Jin Anquan kept a straight face: "Do you have evidence to prove you're acting in self-defense? Based on the eyewitness accounts we obtained, it was you and the Cyan Wolf mbers involved in the street brawl. All the testimonies prove you were committing murder; I'm not falsely accusing you!"
"Director Jin, if I'm not mistaken, you're related to Young Master Jin, aren't you?" Li Chuan's eyes showed ridicule, "You should know how you obtained these testimonies, right? Convicting with these false testimonies?"
"Wanting to sign and seal, are you taking for a fool, or are you the fool yourself?"
After being mocked by Li Chuan, Jin Anquan felt humiliated, his expression beca extrely unpleasant: "Li Chuan, you'd better wake up, even if you don't admit it now, it won't change anything."
"Because you have no evidence to prove you're acting in self-defense. If you persist, no one can save you!"
"If you cooperate with , I can give you a way out!"
Li Chuan chuckled: "Do you have evidence to prove I wasn't acting in self-defense?"
Jin Anquan's face darkened: "Aren't those testimonies evidence? Aren't those five missing lives evidence?"
Li Chuan shook his head, a mocking expression on his face: "Before I ca to Wulin County, I heard that the officialdom is like walking on a steel wire above an abyss. Even the smartest must tread carefully, watching every word and move."
"To reach such high positions, everyone is an old fox with great depth, but I can't see any of that in you."
"Director Jin, you're like a fool, your intentions are too obvious."
Jin Anquan was about to explode. He never expected that Li Chuan would dare to provoke him face-to-face!
Dare to call him a fool!
This was practically a slap in his face!
