The Secret of Second Marriage

After listening to what I had to say, President Jiang said very seriously, "Man, it's dangerous for you to stay in Hengdian. Come back to me, and I will protect you!"

"President Jiang, I'm sorry, but I can't give up my career for anyone! Shen Xing committed manslaughter because of me. I need to stay in Hengdian to find a lawyer and evidence to help him with the legal battle..."

I'm not talking to you anymore.

After a brief silence, I said something, as if something had suddenly occurred to me.

"Man, I have a lawyer I recommend. Once Shen Xing is released, we'll treat him to a meal, make him pay the compensation he owes, and then settle things cleanly."

President Jiang suddenly said.

I just said "okay" in a daze.

I got tired of walking around the streets of Hengdian.

Uncle Geng saw that I hadn't eaten much all day, so he bought me a bowl of millet and pumpkin porridge and a bowl of brown sugar glutinous rice cakes for my dinner.

I ate two pieces of brown sugar glutinous rice cake and drank half a bowl of porridge.

Uncle Geng and I went to the barbecue restaurant where we got into a fight and killed someone yesterday, but it was already closed.

Many media gossip reporters took photos in front of the barbecue restaurant.

I noticed that there was a fruit supermarket next to the barbecue restaurant, and there was a surveillance camera installed at the entrance of the supermarket.

I went to the supermarket to check last night's security footage, and a staff member said, "What day is it today? This is so strange; several people have already asked to check the security footage!"

I guessed it; it was Shen Xing's agent, Yi Can, who got the video of the barbecue stall around 10 a.m. yesterday.

At 5:30 p.m. that day, the agent posted the video on Weibo. The video showed that last night, while having barbecue, several tables of guests were drinking beer and chatting.

After Shen Xing and I finished drinking, we were about to get up and leave when we were harassed by a few thugs.

Those thugs first asked for my contact information, which I refused, and then they slapped me across the face.

Those four thugs all had criminal records. First, they tried to harass me, but when that failed, they forcibly tore my clothes and cornered me in the alley next to the barbecue restaurant.

Just as I was struggling desperately, Shen Xing immediately started fighting with those thugs.

I was pinned against the wall by a group of thugs with daggers when Shen Xin disregarded everything and used her arm to deflect the daggers at me.

He and several thugs fought their way from the alley into the street, chasing each other for more than 50 meters. The thugs were holding daggers and threatened Shen Xing, telling him that this had nothing to do with them and to get lost!

But Shen Xing never retreated even a step.

After it was posted online, it instantly caused a sensation across the entire internet.

It turns out that the reports in the morning were all negative, but the real video was posted online in the afternoon, revealing everything that happened last night.

A surveillance video shows that the other party started harassing me, and when that failed, they tried to kill me with a dagger. Shen Xing's fight with those people was entirely in self-defense...

Public opinion has shifted significantly, and the surveillance should have restored Shen Xing's innocence.

Many people are cursing online, saying those thugs deserved it; they harassed an innocent woman in the street, and they deserved to be beaten to death…

Everyone began to speak out in support of Shen Xing.

I know that with the video evidence, the next step is to find a lawyer.

Mr. Jiang introduced me to a lawyer named Guo.

I talked with Attorney Guo for several hours and finally decided to ask him to help me get Shen Xing released on bail.

Attorney Guo said that this matter has caused a great stir and has been reported in the media. He assured me that we have handled many cases over the years and that Shen Xing's actions were acts of bravery, not negligent injury.

After hearing the lawyer's opinion, I felt a little more at ease. Then I returned to the Hengdian Hotel, prepared to wash my face, brush my teeth, and get some sleep so I could continue filming the next morning.

After I finished showering and lay in bed, I suddenly remembered that Mr. Jiang would send me a goodnight message every night, but not today.

Forget it, I'll just ignore him...

I was half asleep, about to go to sleep, when my phone suddenly rang at midnight. It was President Jiang calling. He had clearly been sulking and jealous all afternoon. As soon as I answered, he questioned me, "Man, why did you go out for barbecue with Shen Xing last night?"

He also saw the video trending on social media and remained sullen. By midnight, he couldn't hold back any longer and called to question me.

My feelings are complicated. I used to think that I would grow old with President Jiang, but after this experience, my heart has begun to waver a little.

I said, "Are you doubting me, Mr. Jiang?"
