Chapter 157: We Are Friends

Chapter 157

Li Man lay on the bed and was surprised when Huo Jian Sheng walked in. "Mr. Huo, why are you here?"

Li Man's situation had made the news, and almost everyone in the city knew about it, including Huo Jian Sheng.

When he saw the news, Huo Jian Sheng came straight here.

Others couldn't come in, but Huo Jian Sheng used a bit of his influence and got in, which wasn't difficult for him.

"Can't I come?" Huo Jian Sheng pulled a chair and sat down expressionlessly.

"Hehe, of course you can..." Li Man's lips curled up, and she awkwardly laughed a few times, not knowing what to say.

"Are you scared?" Huo Jian Sheng asked.

"Mm." Li Man lowered her eyelids.

Huo Jian Sheng lowered his voice and said, "Don't be afraid. I'll take care of things for you. Try to speak as little as possible."

Li Man suddenly looked up at Huo Jian Sheng. "Why do you want to help me?"

Huo Jian Sheng remained expressionless. "I want to help, that's all. There's no particular reason."

Li Man lowered her eyelids again. "Thank you!"

Huo Jian Sheng waved his hand. "Alright, I can't stay too long. I'll get you a lawyer. You should know what to say and what not to say."

"Thank you! How much will the lawyer's fee be? I'll repay you later." Li Man said.

Huo Jian Sheng glanced at Li Man. "Let's talk about that later. I'm leaving."

Huo Jian Sheng's lawyer was the company's lawyer, one of the best in the industry. It was not easy to hire him even with money.

...

When the police came to ask Li Man again, she said, "I can't remember anymore. I was so scared at the time. I've never experienced such a scene before. I was terrified, and I have nightmares every night. I'm really scared, I..."

Li Man choked up and couldn't speak, sobbing softly.

"The police didn't get much information from Li Man, and coupled with the effectiveness of Huo Jian Sheng's lawyer, the court's verdict came quickly. Li Man's actions were deemed self-defense and she was not held criminally responsible.

When Li Man received the verdict, she finally let go of the worry that had been weighing on her.

It had been over a month since Li Man committed the murder until the verdict was delivered.

During this month, Li Man had been recuperating in the hospital.

Chen XiaoHui could be said to have been given a second chance at life, and it took her more than a month to fully recover."
