The Yu Cheng Law Firm isn't very large, but it has a good reputation.

I came here three years ago. I used to do some psychological research, and becoming a lawyer was somewhat of a mid-career shift for me.

It’s difficult. Overall, I owe the exposure I’ve received to the law firm.

Today, a man and woman showed up at the law firm—they were rather special clients.

The man's surname was Leng. His clothes were slightly faded from washing but still presentable and very tidy. The woman had red eyes and a blank stare, holding a worn-out rag doll in her hands.

As soon as the man saw me, he knelt down in front of me with a thud, "Lawyer Zhao, please persuade my daughter…”

I hurriedly helped him up but also took note of the peculiarity in his words.

If I'm not mistaken, these two should be the parents of the suspect in the widely reported "husband-killing case" in the news recently.

To be honest, our law firm rarely takes on cases defending potential murderers. Firstly, because the firm's principle is to stand for "justice." Secondly, these kinds of cases are very challenging and can harm our reputation; we don't like taking risks to become famous from a single case.

But we've seen quite a few similar cases. Among these clients, except for a few who bear ill intentions wishing for the criminal's death, which one of them isn't crying their hearts out and offering more money to save their loved ones or themselves?

Persuade? I don't quite understand.

Listening to the man's broken words, I finally grasped his meaning.

Since the daughter, Leng Fei, married Xing Zhaoping, the elderly couple seldom saw her. On the rare occasions they did see her, it would end in a huge argument. Later, Leng Fei's mother, stimulated by these events, became somewhat senile, spending her days holding a doll and calling Leng Fei’s name. Leng Fei hadn't come home even once to check on her.

Who would've thought that now their daughter would become a murderer, and the victim would be Xing Zhaoping, the one she loved the most.

It's worth mentioning that every argument they had was because Leng Fei felt they didn't like her husband.

The elderly couple wracked their brains but couldn’t understand why their daughter would do such a thing or what had happened over the years.

They just want the truth.
