Five years after their breakup, a prominent lawyer is desperately seeking reconciliation.

Gradually, some people in the comments section realized what was going on and immediately changed their tune.

"Lin Yue's mother, everyone is so indignant because they want to help you, why are you siding with the murderer?"

"Yes, we fought for you, and you turned around and spoke ill of us, unable to distinguish right from wrong."

"Brothers, I smell a conspiracy. Auntie, has someone threatened you? Or tried to bribe you?"

"I see. They used the public opinion we created to get a high price for a settlement. Auntie, you're quite good at using someone and then discarding them."

"I'll never genuinely help others again; they're all ingrates. Brothers, let's go, next one."

It was astonishing how these people turned their guns on each other in just a few words.

Jiang Wan was worried that Lin's mother would also be targeted by these people, so she quickly closed the live stream.

Then I found the account in the backend and called the number provided.

"Hello, who is this?"

A weary and sorrowful female voice came through the microphone.

Jiang Wan was almost immediately certain that she really was Lin Yue's mother!

"Hello, this is Jiang Wan."

The person on the other end hummed in agreement: "You called to thank me for speaking up for you?"

To be honest, judging from Lin's mother's reaction during their last meeting...

Jiang Wan never expected that she would speak up for her.

"You don't need to thank me. I didn't say I didn't doubt you. I just don't want anyone else to end up like my daughter."

"That day, I saw you at Yueyue's grave, and I heard what you said, but I will never easily believe you."

Jiang Wan smiled wryly: "I know, without concrete evidence, I can't ask you to believe me."

"Then go find evidence, live well and find evidence! I don't know how many times I watched Yueyue's last live stream, I know some of the names very well."

"They can switch sides and change their identities with just a few words, and a few casual remarks can take someone's life."

"I don't believe you, and I don't believe them either. I only believe the final evidence."

The other party hung up the phone quickly after speaking.

Jiang Wan sat on the floor, staring at the blacked-out computer screen, and thought for a long time.

In fact, she bears no responsibility for proving anything to anyone, and the so-called evidence used to accuse her is completely untenable.

Lu Jingshi suspended her from her post mainly to quell the situation and avoid negative impacts on Kairong.

But after watching Lin Yue's live stream before her death that day, she truly felt anger!

A group of ruthless executioners used their keyboards to carry out a thrilling murder.

However, those people can simply close their laptops and turn off their phones and pretend nothing happened.

If holding everyone accountable is not realistic, then the instigator should not be let off easily.

Lin Yue was just a female college student with no money or power, and a lawyer who had been tricked. She was just like everyone else, from the bottom of society, and just like everyone else, an insignificant ant.

But the difference between her and Lin Yue is that she is still alive, and she can still bite them!

Jiang Wan sat up abruptly, turned on her computer, and started buying plane tickets.

A round-trip ticket to the United States costs over 30,000 yuan, plus accommodation and meals.

The little money I have right now won't last long.

Jiang Wan counted on her fingers, one by one.

She could ask her old friends for help translating the paper.

You can also help out at the Chinese restaurant where you used to work to earn some living expenses.

If all goes well, we should be able to get a statement from that couple.

It might not take that long.

Jiang Wan contacted her former landlord, who was very excited to hear that she was coming to America again.

This indicates that the room is not yet rented out and can be rented to Jiang Wan for three months at a lower price.

After doing all this, Jiang Wan began to live frugally and save money.

Ah Zhen can wear heavy makeup so much that even her own mother wouldn't recognize her.

She comes every afternoon to do Jiang Wan's makeup.

Then the two of them, wearing heavy makeup and wigs, swaggered past the paparazzi and entered the club.

When there were many people at the club, Jiang Wan would fill in; when there were few people, she would quietly process documents in the office.

A month later, Jiang Wan, having arranged everything, finally boarded a plane to the United States.

After experiencing turbulence during takeoff, the plane reached level flight.

Having already endured the discomfort of long-haul economy class, Jiang Wan immediately took out her three sleeping essentials—eye mask, headphones, and neck warmer—once the plane had stabilized.

Then I took off my ponytail and prepared to sleep all the way.

But as soon as she closed her eyes and found the most comfortable position, someone gently patted her.

The next moment, the flight attendant's gentle and sweet voice reached my ears.

"Hello, are you Ms. Jiang Wan?"

Jiang Wan straightened up, pushed the blindfold up to her head, looked at her blankly, and nodded: "Yes, it is. What's wrong?"

"Congratulations on your upgrade, please follow me."

"what?"

Jiang Wan was stunned. She'd been upgraded to a higher class? How could such a wonderful thing happen to her?

"Did I win any prizes?"

The flight attendant smiled and helped her pick up her bag, guiding her forward step by step.

"You'll see when you get there. Please follow me."

She walked through economy class, past business class, and the flight attendant led her all the way to her first-class seat.

Before she could ask again to confirm, he roughly understood what was going on.

Because she saw Lu Jingshi!

He sat in the next seat, his long legs crossed, leisurely watching Jiang Wan, who was dressed in her sleeping gear.

Jiang Wan scratched her itchy eyes, her gaze filled with shock, as if she were reconfirming everything before her.

"You... what are you doing here? Did you upgrade me to a cabin class?"

"On business trip."

Lu Jingshi raised an eyebrow, gesturing for her to sit down first.

The flight attendant settled Jiang Wan down, gave her a few routine instructions, and then left.

"This first-class ticket is too expensive; I don't have the money to pay you back."

Lu Jingshi didn't even look up, casually flipping through the magazine in his hand: "Just sit there and relax, the points you gained are free."

"Really?"

"Hmm, you think I'd spend that much money to upgrade you? Dream on."

Jiang Wan pursed her lips and put her headphones back on.

But right now, as soon as I lay down, my eyelids felt like they were going to stick together.

During the twenty-hour flight, Jiang Wan slept for most of the time.

Lu Jingshi didn't bother her, and kept holding his computer, seemingly busy with something.

As the plane landed in LA, Jiang Wan felt a moment of disorientation looking at the familiar buildings in the airport.

As soon as I exited the airport, the car I had booked in advance arrived right in front of me.

She hesitated and turned around to look at Lu Jingshi, who was following behind her alone.

"You...traveled on a business trip alone?"

"Yes, it's nothing."

"So...is someone from the hotel picking us up?"

People like Lu Jingshi usually stay in five-star hotels or higher, and these hotels typically offer airport pick-up services.

She lowered her head, got into the car, and gave him an address.

"It's a last-minute trip, I haven't booked a hotel yet."

"You...so you just bought a plane ticket and came?"

After much hesitation, she moved over to the next cabin, considering he had upgraded her to a higher class.

"Get in the car."

Lu Jingshi sat down, took out his phone and busied himself for a while before remembering to thank Jiang Wan.

"Let's make it clear first, my place isn't very big, so you can stay here temporarily for one night. Let Fang Tian book a hotel as soon as possible."

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

Lu Jingshi's phone rang, and Fang Tian's name popped up on the screen.

"you..."

Jiang Wan had some doubts. He had set up the internet in advance, so why was it a last-minute trip?

Lu Jingshi calmly hung up the phone, his face completely at ease: "What's wrong?"

"Never mind, it's nothing."

Lu Jingshi's phone vibrated, and he quietly swiped to open it. It was a message from Fang Tian.

The content consists of only one sentence—

"Ah Shi, why did you cancel the hotel reservation?"
