The next day when Qiao Yin went back to the site, she heard that Liu Qiang went over to the police station that morning. So she rushed over to the station, just in time to see Yan Cong shaking Liu Qiang's hand with a face full of gratitude.
When Liu Qiang saw Qiao Yin, he was quiet at first, then he smiled at her, "Isn't this Lawyer Qiao? I was just about to contact you! Last night I thought over what you said carefully and I realized that this kid Wei Jun is not bad. He was just muddled at the time, so he committed a mistake. I forgive him! All these years, I only thought of earning money but I did not think about doing anything generous. Therefore, I won't ask for the money back, it'll just be considered as money I donated together with Wei Jun to the children in the orphanage!"
Qiao Yin blankly stared at him in the same spot, feeling lost for a moment. Initially, when she thought about all the possible endings, the best one was that Liu Qiang will simply forgive Wei Jun. But she did not anticipate that not only will he forgive Wei Jun, but that he would also decide not to ask for the eighty thousand back. When she regained her senses, the rims of her eyes were getting watery, she walked forward and shook Liu Qiang's hand, her usual talkative mouth opened and close many times, before she finally said in a sincere tone, "Thank you, thank you very much."
Yan Cong delivered the news to Wei Jun. Since he was brought into the police station, he had maintained a calm expression that had held onto up hope. However, when he heard Liu Qiang's decisions, it all seemed to fall apart. The seventeen-year-old kid started crying out loud in the interrogation chair.
The last line of defense in his heart had finally collapsed and Wei Jun's emotions poured out, "Big brother policeman... I'm sorry... I really was muddled at the time..... I really didn't have a choice...."
He started to confess everything, finally, the truth of everything was revealed. It turned out that originally he was in need of money. He wanted to buy a necklace made of gold for his girlfriend, Yang XiaoLi. Yang XiaoLi was the same as Wei Jun, both of them came from a family where parents had divorced, however since neither parents wanted to raise her, she was sent to live with her grandparents. It was only after they passed away that she had to move to city X to work, and then she met Wei Jun.
The two of them came together because of their similar experiences, then fell in love, and they came to treat each other as their only family. Even though Wei Jun was young, he still saw himself as a man, especially so after meeting Yang XiaoLi, he wanted to give her a stable life. But no matter how hard they worked, they couldn't change their living conditions. One day, Yang XiaoLi's eyes were attracted to a gold necklace. Even though she did not mention it to Wei Jun, the desire on her face imprinted on his brain, so he decided to do as Yao DaWei had instructed and stole the money.
When he only had eighty thousand left, Wei Jun started to regret it. He wanted to secretly place the money back, but seeing that the police were already investigating, he was afraid and left. After thinking for a long time, he remembered how his life was in the past and so decided to donate the money to the orphanage to aid the children who did not have the love of their parents in their lives.
"I'm sorry...I'm sorry..." Wei Jun cried on as he kept repeating those same words.
Once the case was presented to the court, after considering the different points brought forward by Qiao Yin to help, the judge decided to sentence Wei Jun to two years of prison in the end.
The day the punishment was announced, Yang XiaoLi was crying so much her eyes turned red, she couldn't even talk properly but she did her best to complete one sentence, "Wei Jun, I will wait for you to return..."
Since Xiao Yang and the girls went to court together, naturally he had the responsibility of sending them home. After Yang XiaoLi was dropped off, he silently Qiao Yin and himself home in silence until he turned his head and noticed that she was silently crying in the passenger seat.
So he pulled the car over on the side and turned to face her with knit eyebrows.
"I apologize, I wasn't able to control my emotions." Qiao Yin said, quickly wiping her tears with a tissue. She smiled but then that quickly turned into an exaggerated expression of distress, "Pfft, tears came out as soon as I thought about it, it's really a waste that I didn't become an actress."
"Mmm." Xiao Yang said, taking one last look at her before stepping on the gas again as he said in his usual calm and emotionless manner, "Barely passable to get an Oscar's best actress award."
Qiao Yin was not stupid, she more or else could tell he was not in a good mood but she did not know how to explain. Since her emotional reaction suddenly came out of nowhere, it will also leave suddenly. So after thinking about it, she thought of a reasonable reason and started explaining, "Actually, I suddenly thought about Zheng ZiHao. Wei Jun was sentenced to prison for two years and Yang XiaoLi said she will wait. But I think that even if he was sentenced to ten years, she will still wait. However, when Zheng ZiHao mentioned breaking up to me, I never thought about waiting for him to come back."
She let out a long sigh as she recalled her days in college, "If it were when I was still in school, it might have affected me for a long time, maybe I would even throw a tantrum. But now that I'm older, the speed of life seems faster, even romantic relationships end fast. I'm not sure what kind of life I'm living anymore. When I get old, what else will I have other than myself and money?"
As she spoke, she got more and more into her role, her voice contained a bit of melancholy, "Maybe I have to slow down the speed of my life and search for the precious romantic relationship?"
"Mmm." Xiao Yang expressionlessly responded in his usual monotone voice, eyes fixed on the road ahead. He then added another sentence, "Then be lead astray due to emotional entanglements, then force all the policemen's speed of life to increase. Sounds perfect."
Qiao Yin couldn't help but laugh. She thought for a bit, still smiling, then she turned her head and stared at him with her big bright eyes, then she opened her mouth and seriously went:
"Xiao Yang, how about I pursue you?"
