It would probably be difficult for anyone standing here to confirm at first glance that this person is Wen Rong.

The haute couture suit I wore when I gave a speech at a dinner four days ago has been on my body for four days.

The means and team that Wen Shengtian left outside were only responsible for trying their best to exonerate Wen Rong. No one among these salaried people would care whether he had comfortable clothes to wear, so naturally there was no such thing as "family members delivering clothes". Wen Rong's application for a change of clothes was rejected twice.

Therefore, it is conceivable that the more high-end the suit is, the less it can withstand manufacturing. It has long been wrinkled and unsightly. In addition, his body has lost a lot of weight in a few days, making him look more like a large shroud hanging on a skeleton.

The thick dark circles formed two circles of shadows along the sunken eye sockets, and the dry lip skin protruded like small thorns.

When he raised his head, he cast a dull and stiff look, which scared the well-dressed lawyer. He paused for several seconds before confirming that the man was Wen Rong, so he quickly called out "Mr. Wen".

"What else do you want to ask? I told you, my answer is no..."

Wen Rong gave a completely unexpected response - his brain seemed not to be working at all, and he was just speaking mechanically based on his subconscious or inertia. His voice was hoarse and unpleasant, and his originally low and pleasant tone was completely unrecognizable.

"I need to see my lawyer..." He muttered and looked away, "I need to see my lawyer."

"..."

The lawyer felt sad. He took a few steps forward, leaned over the table, pressed his shoulder, and shouted, "Mr. Wen! It's me! I'm Cai Zhen! How did you become like this in just four days? Did they torture you to extract a confession?"

"...Cai Zhen?" Wen Rong raised his head again, and his dull eyes slowly gathered their focus, concentrating on the anxious face of the man in front of him.

Knock knock knock—suddenly there was a sound knocking on the window.

Lawyer Cai turned around and saw several policemen standing outside with their arms folded through the soundproof glass.

Then the radio connected to the interrogation room sounded: "One more second of physical contact and this meeting will be over - Mr. Lawyer, don't you understand the rules?"

Lawyer Cai suddenly retracted his hand, sat down angrily, and replied loudly: "Then please hang up the phone - the police cannot monitor the conversation between me and my client. You should understand the rules, right?"

A cold snort came from the loudspeaker, and then the call was disconnected.

As soon as Lawyer Cai turned around, he met Wen Rong's suddenly widened eyes.

He was originally hunched over, hanging on the chair weakly like a piece of tattered clothes, but now he suddenly straightened up, leaned forward and slammed his hands on the table.

The handcuffs made contact with the table with a thud.

"Cai Zhen? Are you the old man's lawyer? What are you doing here? What do you want to tell me? Confess? I won't confess, I didn't do anything! I didn't do anything!! I was just mentally ill and said that kind of thing on impulse! Don't even think about making me confess! Don't even think about making me give my position to Wen Can! I am the chairman of Wen's Group! I am the chairman recognized by all shareholders! I am, I am..."

The hoarse voice let out an almost shrill shout.

A pair of dry and lifeless eyes also burst into bloodshot with hatred.

Wen Rong, who had been exhausted after several days of interrogation, turned into a ferocious and threatening trapped beast at this moment, and growled with gnashing teeth at the Wen Shengtian he imagined.

"No, no, no! It's not what you think. I'm here to help you!"

Lawyer Cai immediately raised his hand and said, "And you did a great job - it is precisely because you have never pleaded guilty that we have a greater chance of fulfilling the old chairman's wish!"

"..."

After a pause of nearly ten seconds, Wen Rong's slow brain finally realized what Cai Zhen meant. He moved his eyes and asked, "What is the old man's wish?"

"Of course it's to help you get rid of the crime!" Cai Zhen also leaned forward, put both elbows on the table, stared at Wen Rong with his eyes, his expression and tone were meaningful, "You are right, you can't admit to something you didn't do, the old chairman also meant that - I was worried that you would not be able to stand the days in the interrogation room and would... tell the truth about the things you imagined. If that happened, our work would become many times more difficult, but fortunately you still withstood the pressure and didn't say anything nonsense in the end."

"..."

Wen Rong's mouth trembled a few times, and his dry and bleeding lips made his face look extremely pale. A bewildered look gradually emerged on his pale face: "Are you really... trying to exonerate me?"

"Of course." Lawyer Cai said, "The old chairman is your father. You are his only son in his life. How could he not love you?"

"..." Wen Rong pursed his lips tightly, somewhat incredulous, his hands trembling a little, and after a while he said, "How are you going to help me?"

"Of course, we followed the formal procedures," said Lawyer Cai. "You were hospitalized for a while not long after your wife passed away. The doctor gave you a diagnosis at that time. Schizophrenia, severe bipolar disorder and PTSD caused a murderer's personality to split out of your body. The hatred you felt for yourself because you watched your beloved die while you were still alive had an outlet. The reason you yelled those words at Master Wen Can at the dinner party was because of this personality. Now that you've woken up, you should understand what happened, right?"

"..."

Wen Rong's pupils shrank, and he stared at him for a long while before he said in a trembling voice, "Yes, yes... that's it, it's almost the same as what I told the police. I... that's what I told them. I said I was having a seizure and that I was mentally traumatized. That's right, this is the truth, this is the truth!"

After a pause, he looked at Cai Zhen anxiously again: "But are there any witnesses? Witnesses..."

"The witness has changed his testimony." Lawyer Cai hinted, "Moreover, that witness is the real murderer. If he hadn't tampered with the sports car, how could the lady die? He was just obsessed with money before, so he made up nonsense and identified you. Fortunately, he has repented now. Of course, this is also the result of your kindness. When Chen Yu was still a driver in the Wen family, didn't you treat him very well? Because you were concerned about his child's illness, didn't you ask the old chairman to give him a large pension? Although he is a murderer worse than an animal, fortunately, he still has a conscience in the end and didn't continue to make mistakes."

"..."

Wen Rong suddenly closed his mouth, took a breath into his lungs and held it. His whole body was in a state of extreme tension and stiffness, and he turned from a powerless piece of tattered clothing into a straight gas rod that seemed about to break.

He stared at Cai Zhen, his eyes changing constantly, with ecstasy and suspicion, emotion and disbelief intertwined and running around.

Finally he began to breathe rapidly.

His chest rose and fell rapidly, and his dry eyes gradually filled with tears.

"Great."

He said these three words with emotion, then closed his mouth tightly, and opened it again after a few seconds, "You're right!"

He said excitedly and confidently: "Good deeds will bring good results! I have never been so grateful to myself for persisting in doing good deeds!"

“…………” Even though Lawyer Cai was paid an incredibly high salary, he couldn’t help but be distracted for a moment.

Facing those bloodshot eyes flashing with joy and emotion, Cai Zhen couldn't help but move his butt back a little and touched the goose bumps on his arms calmly.
