Chapter 187: 185 He knew it early on

"What do you have? Let’s hear it," Lin Qiming prodded him, slowly fishing for words like a hooligan.

Qian Yezhou fell silent.

As a lawyer, how could he dare to swear in front of Yan Yueqing that those things were done by Lin Qiming without having any evidence?

At first, it was the testimony of troublemakers, but later, more and more documentary evidence pointed straight to Lin Qiming...

Qian Yezhou felt that things seemed to be going a bit too smoothly?

As one of the most elite lawyers, he indeed had some connections and methods, but it was impossible to find one piece of evidence after another just by thinking of investigating.

The Lin Family, being one of the top distinguished families in the capital, even if Lin Qiming was from a collateral branch, it wasn’t the case that evidence could be uncovered just by searching for it.

Besides, every piece of evidence was a deadly point!

To sentence him to more than a decade in prison wouldn’t be a problem at all.

Qian Yezhou suspected someone was framing Lin Qiming, but those pieces of evidence were too conclusive. If it was a frame-up... one or two incidents might be manageable, but with so many adding up, how could Lin be oblivious to them all?

He dared not ask, afraid that the young man who had stumbled into his arms back then had turned into a profit-driven tycoon, and yet he always found excuses for him in his heart.

Therefore, these past years, he had lived in a wretched and agonizing state.

The people from the Lin Family made life difficult for him, and he couldn’t get over his own self-imposed torment.

That feeling of holding the evidence of wrongdoing against someone close, hopping back and forth between the law and his trust...

Felt too heart-wrenching.

Yan Yueqing had put it well, "You either haven’t found the evidence, or... you found the evidence, but can’t bear to act on it."

As a lawyer, his nature was to uphold legal justice.

Emotionally... he truly didn’t want to believe that Lin could do those things.

Even if they had fallen out, he had never once deleted Lin Qiming’s contact information.

Qian Yezhou knew very well that with just a phone call, Lin Qiming would definitely explain honestly whether he had done those things or not.

But did he really want to know?

He was worried, he was fearful!

He was afraid that human nature couldn’t withstand the test, and even more afraid that Lin Qiming was indeed the true mastermind behind it all...

What should he do when the time came?

Should he stand in court and with self-righteous arguments send him to jail... or turn a blind eye and continue to watch him engage in unlawful misconduct?

Qian Yezhou had been lost in confusion for a long time, to the point where he even contemplated leaving the legal profession altogether.

Yes, he shamefully chose to run away.

Perhaps he didn’t deserve to be a lawyer upholding justice at all...

And yet he still thought about covertly protecting Lin Qiming?!

Qian Yezhou loathed and even hated himself for feeling this way!

And yet... he was utterly helpless against his own heart.

Agreeing to come to the Yan Family and work for Yan Yueqing wasn’t just because the pay was exceptional. More importantly—after the Yan and Lin Families called off their engagement, relations turned hostile as fire and water, with Lin Qiming repeatedly speaking out to suppress Yan Yueqing in the entertainment industry!

Now Yan Yueqing was about to return and take over the family business, with the backing of the Yan Family, it would be very simple for him to clarify Lin’s affairs.

At least... there would be no hiding or shielding.

Qian Yezhou wanted to know the truth!

But a couple of days ago, when the two declared themselves best friends, he suddenly felt like he had been played.

Going round and round, it seemed like he had fallen into Lin Qiming’s trap all along?

Qian Yezhou hung his head low, and his long, curly lashes like fans, hid his slightly melancholic eyes.

Lin Qiming, with his arms crossed, said, "Have you finished fantasizing? My dear Lawyer Qian?"

Lawyer... that word seemed to mock him?!

Qian Yezhou took a deep breath. Well then, he might as well make a decision tonight.
