The atmosphere in the courtroom was solemn.

"The defendant, Li Fendou, is guilty of intentional homicide and illegal appropriation of a large amount of property. He is sentenced to life imprisonment, deprivation of political rights for life, and confiscation of all personal property! The estate of Li Si, including real estate, deposits, and equity, that he illegally appropriated, will be returned to the legal heir, Li Chi."

"And compensate Li Chi for mental damages and other losses totaling RMB 15 million."

"The defendant, Qiu Juan, is guilty of harboring and sheltering a criminal and is sentenced to three years in prison, suspended for four years."

The gavel struck the base, making a crisp sound.

"This court has pronounced its verdict and the court is closed!"

Li Chi sat quietly in the gallery. When he heard the life sentence, he breathed a sigh of relief. He had won the case.

All the sins finally received the judgment they deserved.

Qiu Juan slumped in the chair, glancing at Sun Li in the witness stand, her cloudy eyes bursting with deep hatred and madness.

"Sun Li! You bitch! It's all your fault!"

Qiu Juan suddenly stood up, pointing at Sun Li and cursing hysterically, "You seduced my husband and helped that little bastard get him sent to jail! You will die a horrible death!"

The crucial chain of evidence proving Li Fendou's motive for murder and the transfer of funds was provided by Sun Li.

She was the victim of Li Fendou's elaborate lies and was being cheated on by a mistress without even realizing it.

Now, after receiving the reward from Li Chi, she chose to stand in the sun and bury the man who deceived and exploited her with her own hands.

Facing Qiu Juan's insults, Sun Li turned his head and looked at Li Chi.

Across several rows of seats, she nodded very slightly, and under the guidance of the bailiff, she walked out of the courtroom without looking back.

Qiu Juan was completely devastated and collapsed on the ground crying.

Jinchen gently placed his hand on the back of Li Chi's hand holding the verdict, held it, and walked out of the court door.

The sun is shining brightly outside, a little dazzling.

Li Chi stood on the high steps of the court and looked up at the vast blue sky.

He looked at her quietly for a few seconds, turned around, and threw himself into Jinchen's arms, wrapping his arms tightly around his waist.

"elder brother."

Jinchen responded, patting him gently on the back, "Yeah. It's all over."

[The villain's darkening value is detected -25, totaling 11! 】

At the foot of the stairs, only Li Donglai, who would be sentenced another day, was in a state of distraught and madness. He looked at Li Chi and the strange young man hugging each other tightly, and twisted jealousy suddenly surged up in him.

"Li Chi is a madman, a monster! There are two people living in his body. He is a pervert!"

"If you stay with him, we will be your fate! Sooner or later, he will kill you! Hahahaha..."

[He seems to have cursed you as well.] Ling Gungun whispered.

Jinchen: "..."

He held Li Chi's arm tightly, turned his head, and glanced down at Li Donglai, who looked like a madman at the bottom of the stairs.

"If you want to stay in jail longer, keep cursing."

Li Donglai met Jinchen's unfathomable gaze, and his back was inexplicably soaked with cold sweat.

Zhou Shuo was waiting outside the avenue. When he saw Lin Wan and Li Chi coming out, he immediately came over to greet them. Then he saw him behaving intimately with a strange man.

Zhou Shuo frowned and walked quickly to Li Chi, "Xiao Chi, congratulations, you finally got justice."

"Before... I was deceived by Li Donglai and did some wrong things. But when we were kids, we were playmates, weren't we? Xiao Chi, don't let outsiders hurt our friendship."

His eyes swept over Jinchen meaningfully, "You are young and inexperienced. Don't easily trust people with unknown backgrounds. You..."

"You talk a lot of nonsense."

Jinchen interrupted Zhou Shuo's carefully prepared heartfelt words.

His eyes fell lazily on Zhou Shuo's face, "Are you caring about my boyfriend a little too much?"

"Boy friend?"

Lin Wan rushed forward, her face livid. "No! I don't agree!"

"Li Chi, you can be angry with your mother, but you must listen to me when it comes to matters of life like this!"

"This person's origins are unknown, and you just received so much compensation and inheritance. Who knows what he's up to? Break up with him immediately!"

Li Chi suddenly lowered his eyes, held Jinchen's hand, pulled him and turned away without a trace of nostalgia.

"Xiao Chi, stop right there! Do you hear me?" Lin Wan shouted angrily behind him.

Li Chi turned a deaf ear.

He pulled Jinchen and walked quickly down the stairs toward the black car parked on the side of the road.

The driver respectfully opened the car door and waited.

Jinchen let him pull her, a smile on his lips, turned around and raised an eyebrow at Zhou Shuo, then sat in the back seat.

Zhou Shuo: “…”

The car started smoothly and merged into the traffic flow.

Outside the car window, the city streets passed by quickly.

Li Chi leaned in Jinchen's arms, feeling a little depressed, not as relaxed as when he had just won the lawsuit.

He moved, and suddenly, in Jinchen's slightly surprised gaze, he sat directly on Jinchen's legs face to face, with a bit of reckless willfulness, burying himself in his arms, as if he wanted to leave no gap at all.

Ever since Jinchen came back with a real body, Li Chi has been particularly fond of the feeling of being held in his brother's arms and completely enveloped by his breath.

It seems that only this close touch can dispel the uneasiness left over from waiting alone in the past.

Jinchen wrapped her arms around his slender waist, lowered her head, and gently placed her warm lips on the corner of his eyes. "What's wrong?"

Li Chi leaned close to Jin Chen's lips and kissed him affectionately, "Brother, don't listen to them. I will never break up with you, and don't be unhappy..."

He told Jinchen not to be unhappy, but it was clear on his face that he was the one who was even more unhappy.

Jinchen's heart softened at his clumsy comfort, and she laughed out loud. She held Li Chi's cheek and stared at him with her watery black eyes.

"I know."

His kisses fell densely, from the forehead to the tip of the nose, and finally stopped at the corner of the lips, their breath blending together, "I'm not angry, dear."

Their lips and teeth are gently intertwined, and their fingers are tightly clasped.

Not long after, Lin Wan's overseas business, which she had run for many years, suddenly encountered a series of problems. Important customers were intercepted, cooperation projects were frequently blocked, and there were problems with the capital chain.

They were all small issues, but each one required her to go back and take charge.

Overwhelmed, she had to end her trip early and hurried back to the UK.

What made Lin Wan even more helpless was that she finally found out the identity of the young man standing next to Li Chi.

It turned out to be the Jin family. They were not just a new elite in Shanghai, but also had accumulated wealth and influence in the domestic business world over many years, and had already become well-connected.

Her overseas businesses are nothing compared to the Jin family.

If Jinchen wanted to protect Li Chi, there would be no way she would take him away again.

In the end, Lin Wan could only return to England alone with a lot of resentment and unwillingness.

That day, Li Chi received a message from abroad on his mobile phone.

The sender is Lin Wan.

The message was simple, but Li Chi read it very carefully, especially the last sentence:

You will find yourself a good boyfriend.

Li Chi looked at the words on the screen and replied calmly:

Mom, I wish you and your family peace. Goodbye.

Sent successfully.

Then he opened the contact list and pressed the delete key.

The name completely disappeared from the address book.

Li Chi put down his phone and looked out the window.

The sky was a little gloomy. Jinchen was called away by Jinge early in the morning, saying that there was something important going on. He hasn't returned yet.

The huge apartment seemed unusually quiet.

Li Chi curled up in the thick blanket on the sofa, picked up the remote control, and absentmindedly turned the channel. The light and shadow of the TV screen flickered on his face, but his eyes always drifted towards the entrance unconsciously.
