I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

When the ward door was gently pushed open, Yu Sheng was staring out the window in a daze.

The afternoon sun made her pale face almost transparent. Hearing the noise, she slowly turned her head. When she saw that it was Jiang Huashan, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, which then turned into a faint smile.

"Miss Jiang, you're here?" Yu Sheng's voice was very soft, with a hoarseness that came from not having spoken for a long time.

Jiang Huashan walked to the bed, pulled over a chair next to it and sat down. "It seems you've recovered well."

Yu Sheng's eyes followed her movements, and the smile in his eyes deepened a little, "Thanks to Miss Jiang for helping me."

Jiang Huashan glanced at her, pulled out a stack of documents from her handbag and handed them over. "I've received notice that Congress has agreed to the case, and the Procuratorate will send a new prosecutor to collect evidence. This is the information I prepared for you, please review it first."

"Thank you." Yu Sheng responded softly and took it with both hands.

The moment she raised her hand to take the document, Jiang Huashan noticed that the sleeve of her loose hospital gown had slipped down a bit, revealing a wrist that was surprisingly thin, as if it would break with a slight bend.

"You've lost a lot of weight." Jiang Huashan said.

Yu Sheng's eyes were slightly startled, and he looked up at Jiang Huashan, as if he was surprised that she would say this.

Jiang Huashan met her gaze with a frank expression, "What's wrong? Is it strange for me, as a defense lawyer, to be concerned about my client's health?"

Yu Sheng then realized that his gaze was a bit rude and quickly shook his head, "Not surprising."

To ease the awkwardness, she immediately changed the subject, "Ms. Jiang, are you really willing to be my defense lawyer?"

Jiang Huashan: "I've already done the interviews I asked the procuratorate to reimburse. Could there be something else that's fake?"

Yu Sheng: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not doubting you. I just want to remind you that in Country A, all lawyers hired to appear in court must have a professional lawyer's license. I'm worried that my father will use this to accuse you of disrupting judicial order."

"Oh, about this?" Jiang Huashan smiled and took out an admission ticket from her briefcase and shook it. "Guess why the congressional bill was postponed until after the judicial examination? Of course, it's because I'm preparing for the exam~"

Yu Sheng looked at the thin piece of paper held between Jiang Huashan's fingertips, and a stream of hot heat rushed into his nose and eye sockets without warning, making him feel sour and unbearable.

Originally, she had thought of everything.

"Thanks……"

Jiang Huashan suppressed her smile and silently put her admission ticket back into her bag. "Okay, it's too early to thank me now. Let's wait until the truth comes out."

The truth is revealed?

Yu Sheng's eyelids trembled slightly, and she took a very slow breath, trying to calm herself down quickly. "Ms. Jiang, the Guan family sent someone over yesterday, saying they had evidence of my father's treason, and they wanted to cooperate with me."

Jiang Huashan: "Guan Lou is now a hot candidate for the presidency. If he can serve the country in this nationally acclaimed case, it will be a huge benefit to him. You could indeed consider collaborating with the Guan family. With your current popularity, whoever you share this 'truth' with will become a national hero. They'd love nothing more than that."

Yu Sheng shook his head and looked at her with burning eyes, "I don't want to give it to anyone else, but I am willing to give it to you."

"Me?" Jiang Huashan was stunned.

In her eyes, Yu Sheng was a sophisticated egoist and didn't seem like the type of person who would say such things.

Yu Sheng nodded solemnly. "Although I don't know why you want to help me, after experiencing a long nightmare, I no longer care. Everyone has a purpose for doing anything, and I understand. Miss Jiang, what do you want from me? Or, if you trust me, you can be honest about your purpose. Whatever it is, I am willing to cooperate with you."

"What do I want from you?" Jiang Huashan pondered for a moment, then raised his eyes to meet Yu Sheng's. "Probably: no matter what the world becomes, there will always be the power to repair it, right?"

"Energy?" Yu Sheng was surprised again.

These days she has been wondering why Jiang Huashan spared no effort to save her and what the Shen family’s purpose was.

She looked at Jiang Huashan with some confusion, "I don't quite understand, can you explain it more clearly?"

After considering it, Jiang Huashan spoke slowly, "Have you ever heard of a kind-hearted person who helped an old lady who had fallen down and was then blackmailed? Or someone who kindly gave directions to a pregnant woman and was murdered?"

Yu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded after a moment's hesitation. "What does this have to do with the energy you mentioned?"

Jiang Huashan: "When this happens too often, people will seek good fortune and avoid harm. The underlying logic of these events is no different from what happened to you. This instinct to seek good fortune and avoid harm will silence many who could speak out. If there's one thing I want from you, it's the courage to make corrections at any time."

"It's like helping an elderly person who falls, reaching out to a pregnant woman who needs help, and standing up for someone who has been wronged. The just order of the world shouldn't be altered by secular rules."

"So, when I saved you, I was actually correcting my own heart."

"Cultivate the mind?" Yu Sheng's throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn't utter a single word. She racked her brains to think of many possibilities, but she had never considered the answer before her.

"I've already gotten what I wanted from you, and you don't owe me anything in return. If the requests made by the Guan or Su families are more helpful to you, you can withdraw your request for help from the Shen family fund at any time."

Jiang Huashan stood up, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Ms. Jiang." Yu Sheng called her again, his voice almost squeezed out from the depths of his throat, "I... have another question for you."

Jiang Huashan stopped and looked at Yu Sheng sideways, "Ask."

Yu Sheng slowly raised her eyes, her gaze deep and shimmering. "I want to know, is the person Shen Guiling loves... you?"

Jiang Huashan's eyes moved slightly. This question was completely beyond her expectations.

Yu Sheng's body swayed imperceptibly, and her fingers gripping the sheets loosened as she collapsed limply at her side. "Actually, I've seen it a long time ago, but I just didn't want to admit it. Thank you, Miss Jiang."

Jiang Huashan didn't know what to say for a moment, because she could feel that Yu Sheng seemed to be about to cry.

After a moment of silence, she finally said calmly: "Have a good rest. Think carefully about what I just said."

After saying that, he turned and left the ward.

There is no comfort, no extra pity, some wounds can only heal by oneself.
