Ma Shan had spent money to hire a lawyer who said that he could defend Zheng Zeyu 100%. She explained Zheng Zeyuâs situation to him. The lawyer had thought that he could make a lot of money this time, but now he realized that the case was not that simple. If he were to take on the case, not only would he not make any money, but he would also lose his life.
âIâm sorry! Madam, we really canât take this case. Why donât you find someone else? Please forgive me for being unable to help. â
The lawyer awkwardly pushed the money back to Ma Shan. Although it was a lot of money, he couldnât lose his life because of it! After all, although money was important, this case couldnât be solved so easily. If it couldnât be solved immediately, he might even lose his life.
âLawyer, you have to think of a way. Do you think that you donât have enough money? âIf you think the money isnât enough, I can give you more money as long as you promise me. Really, help me think of another way. Heâs my son, I canât let anything happen to him. Lawyer, Iâm begging you. Youâve been to so many lawsuits and youâve won all of them. This one wonât be a problem.â
Ma Shan immediately grabbed the lawyerâs hand and looked at him with a pleading expression. However, the lawyer still looked extremely determined.
âIâm so sorry! Madam, itâs not that I donât want to help you, but I really canât do anything! This case is too difficult to fight, mainly because weâre completely in the wrong! Why donât you find someone else to try? Although Iâve never lost a lawsuit before, itâs not like this! Please let me go! I really canât do it. â
Other than begging the lawyer in front of her, Ma Shan had no other way to help Zheng Zeyu.
âLawyer, Iâm really begging you, please help me think of a way! As long as you can help me resolve this matter, I will agree to whatever you ask. Lawyer, Iâm really begging you. â
The lawyer couldnât bear to see Ma Shan in this state.ââHow about this! Tell me everything from the beginning to the end again. Donât let go of any details. Iâll see if I can find a breakthrough. â
Seeing that the lawyer had relented, Ma Shan repeated the matter to him.
âIâll ask you a few questions, you have to answer me truthfully. â The lawyer said very seriously.
âAlright,â Ma Shan nodded immediately.âGo ahead and ask. Iâll tell you everything.â
âFuren, your noble young master really did something that hurt others, right? And you did send someone to the hospital, right?â
Ma Shan didnât want to admit it, but she still nodded.
âAnd what he did was discovered by others, and now thereâs solid evidence? This evidence was enough to destroy him? He was also discovered by others when he tried to escape. â
Ma Shan did not say anything. Instead, she looked at the lawyer and asked seriously,ââIs there still a chance to turn things around?â
The lawyer sighed.âMadam, I really want to help you, but the things that your son has done have made it impossible for me to defend him. Now that the evidence has been proven, I really canât help him. Iâm really sorry. If I take on your defense this time, Iâll be condoning the crime.â
âLawyer, you have to think of something!â
Ma Shan was so anxious that she was on the verge of tears, but the lawyer really had no choice this time.
âIâm sorry, Iâm really sorry. â
The lawyer left immediately. He was afraid that Ma Shan would not let him go if he continued to cause trouble.
Seeing that the lawyer had left, Ma Shanâs spirit suddenly broke down. She sat on the ground and started crying. After crying for a long time, she dusted off her butt and stood up. She couldnât give up just like that. If she gave up, Zheng Zeyu might really be finished.
âNo, I canât give up like this. I have to go back.â
Ma Shan went to the hospital and found old master Zhengâs ward. She stood at the door of the ward and hesitated for a while before pushing the door open and walking in. Old master Zhengâs expression immediately turned ugly when he saw her.
âWhat are you doing here?â
âDad, Iâm here to see you,â Ma Shanâs face had turned extremely pale. Compared to her previous rosy and lustrous face, she looked as if she was seriously ill.
âMe? To see if Iâll die in your hands? Iâm afraid Iâll have to disappoint you. This old man has a tough life, so I wonât die for the time being. â
Old master Zheng asked sarcastically.
âDad, itâs not like that. I know that what Iâve done in the past has disappointed you, and I also know that Iâm not worthy of your forgiveness this time. But Zeyu is still so young. Dad, no matter how much of a bastard he is, heâs still your grandson. If he stays in there for his entire life, heâll be ruined!â
Ma Shan knelt in front of old master Zheng, hoping that he would relent.
âDestroyed? You still know that doing this will ruin his life? Why didnât you consider this much when you were doing those things? Why arenât you afraid of ruining other peopleâs lives?â
Old master Zheng asked angrily.
âDad, itâs all my fault. As his mother, I didnât guide him on his path. If you want to blame someone, blame me! Dad, this matter really has nothing to do with Zeyu. Please let him out! I promise. As long as youâre willing to let him off this time, Iâll take him away from here forever and never come back. â
Ma Shan raised her hands above her head and swore. However, old master Zheng was also very determined to forgive her this time.
âMa Shan, you should go back! I donât want anyone to mention this matter. Zheng Zeyu should have expected such an outcome when he did this. â
This time, old master Zheng was determined not to give in.
âDad, Iâm begging you, please give him another chance! Why donât I switch with him? Just arrest me! Please let me go to the police station! Really, Zeyu is innocent. This matter has nothing to do with him. Itâs my fault, itâs my fault. Dad, Iâm sorry. Let him go, let him go, will you?â
Ma Shan kept on kowtowing beside old master Zhengâs bed. Old master Zheng furrowed his brows unhappily.
âAunt MA, why are you here?â
Zheng Zeyiâs voice came from the door.
âZeyi, Iâm begging you, please help me beg your grandfather. Iâm begging you too. Give your brother a way out! He really knew that he was in the wrong. He couldnât stay in there forever! Please, I beg you, let him go!â
Ma Shan went over and hugged Zheng Zeyiâs leg.
Zheng Zeyi snorted coldly.âThereâs no room for discussion on this matter. You should be punished for your mistakes. I donât think we did anything wrong. You can go back!â Grandpa still needs to rest. Youâre too noisy here. â
