Xie Chengyun was sitting at the desk editing some documents when he looked up at him. “I have also just received the information about the appointment. I only found out about it a few minutes before you did.”
Lei Xiao took a few breaths to calm himself down, his tone still agitated. “No, Department Chief Xie. Hasn’t it already been decided?! How did it turn out like this?”
Xie Chengyun gave a knowing look. “Think back and see if you might have offended someone.”
Lei Xiao’s eyebrows knitted together. Looking exasperated, he thought for a moment.
It couldn’t be the Ruans. If the Ruans had this in them, why would they need to sacrifice Ruan Qingqing?
Apart from the Ruans, he had kept up a good relationship with everyone recently. At this critical period where he could get a promotion he had been very cautious. Why was it all in vain! Who on earth was going against him!
Lei Xiao clenched his fist and looked at Xie Chengyun. “Department Chief Xie, I really don’t know which leader I have offended. Could you ask around for me so that I may make amends?”
The one who arranged for someone to fill the leadership role would definitely not be an ordinary person.
If he didn’t put someone good in the role, he would probably lose his chance at promotion in the future!
Xie Chengyun nodded and he ended on an encouraging note, “Don’t be dismayed. You’ll have your chance. Work hard.”
Lei Xiao smiled reluctantly.
A bad premonition stayed with him.
...
Appearing on the national news channel on the night of the trial.
A two-minute interview video of Meng Jinyang was played.
It was broadcasted during Ming City High School’s night self-learning session.
All classes in Year One, Year Two, and Year Three were watching the interview with Meng Jinyang in the classrooms.
The seventeen year old girl sat in the armchair with a gentle expression on her face.
Song Han asked, “Jinyang, the perpetrator who hurt you has been punished by law. Do you have anything to say to everyone?”
Meng Jinyang was adrift for a moment. Then she said softly, “Twelve years ago, when the guy presented a mental illness certificate, the lawyer who represented me spent a great effort to fight for a twelve year prison sentence. He was given the full sentence but my life was ruined because medical technology was not advanced enough at the time. It was a very hopeless situation. All I could do was watch the others cry.”
Song Han said, “It must have been a very difficult time.”
“It’s all over now. Everything is changing for the better. I’m very satisfied with my current life and thankful to the friend who has never once given up on me.” Meng Jinyang looked at the camera and smiled. She paused. Then she continued, “The law is used to protect the rights and safety of the people, not for bad people to escape punishment through loopholes.”
Song Han nodded. “You can’t run from the long arm of the law.”
“I’m very grateful that the law continues to be refined so that bad people will not be let off scot free.”
As Meng Jinyang talked, her expression gradually became firm. “Many incidents occur in this world everyday, whether minor or tragic to the point that scares people. We continue to learn lessons from these incidents to improve the system so that criminals will get the punishments they deserve. Mental illness can never be a license to kill. The laws we have today that protect younger generations like us are built upon the lives of those who are victimized. Every word reminds us of the sacrifices. All of us should respect the law, just as we respect those who have passed away.”
Song Han found herself admiring Meng Jinyang. She didn’t disappoint as someone nurtured by the big boss.
She said emphatically, “We should all believe in the country and in a fair and just law. Justice may not come immediately, but it will definitely be served.”
This case attracted the country’s attention and it even caused a commotion in the capital.
Jiang Shenyuan and Song Han were the top in their respective fields. They would not get involved unless it was something very important, yet they came together because of this incident.
Just who was the person supporting Meng Jinyang?
