Wu Ze still remembered the thin frail woman who choked with sobs due to the injustices that she suffered when he first came into contact with Mu Chenyan.
Wu Ze spent more than ten years being devoid of attachments. He was proudly aloof from material pursuits and did not even have an eye for most women. Additionally, since he had spent numerous years pursuing his education abroad, blond-haired and blue-eyed beauties were simply not his cup of tea.
When he suddenly saw a beautiful and delicate woman like her now, something stirred at the bottom of his heart. However, he had yet to notice it at that time.
While she was in the Detention Center, her inherent calm grace and her tenacious confident personality that she nurtured later allowed Mu Chenyan to constantly say, "I never killed anyone!
"I can't spend even one day here...
"I want to meet Yuan Xuan but why doesn't he come to see me...
"There was no need for me to kill Shu Qinger. Previously, I never cared whether Yuan Xuan loved me or not. There was no correlation between my love for him and whether or not he loved me! Since Yuan Xuan has already promised to marry me as of now, why would I need to kill someone? I have no motive to murder anyone!"
This woman had her own set of ideas when it came to her love.
However, the outside world did not understand her and merely assumed that she was jealous?
Deep in his heart, Wu Ze wanted to delve deeper into this woman.
In the beginning, she had certain reservations toward coming into contact with Wu Ze because the person she wanted to see was Yuan Xuan.
However, Yuan Xuan was occupied with more pressing matters at that time, matters that would even lead to Mu Chenyan's struggle between her love and hatred for him in the future...
Mu Chenyan had never imagined that Wu Ze would be the person whom she came into contact with most in the following two years.
Wu Ze initially accepted this case because of his personal friendship with Yuan Xuan.
Yuan Xuan did not reveal his entire plan so Wu Ze merely accepted the payment and handled the tasks. He executed everything and did his work according to Yuan Xuan's intentions.
However, once he came into contact with Mu Chenyan, he became attracted to this woman whom he had heard rumors about in the outside world for a long time.
When he noticed that his intentions were no longer pure, the man with a meticulous state of mind then realized that it was already too hard for him to break away...
The longer he spent with Mu Chenyan, the more he was controlled by her every move and the changes in her emotions.
During his previous cases, Wu Ze was clearly aware of his position. However, it was different this time.
Despite being an attorney who was supposedly required to be calm and rational, he started becoming sentimental instead.
There were even numerous times when he went to prison not to discuss the case with her but to simply chat with her like old friends. He checked if she had grown thinner or plumper and whether her complexion was pale...
Since he knew that Yuan Xuan had already arranged for people to care for her so that she would not suffer, he showed his concern in other ways.
He brought fruits and health supplements for her in hopes that they would sustain her, allowing her to remain rosy and comfortable until she was released from prison.
However, he had never imagined that the nourishments he brought had never entered this woman's stomach.
When he saw her gradually becoming thinner and recalled that period of time when Mu Chenyan told him that her hair had started to shed because she was too stressed, his heart ached but he did not dare to mention it.
However, he began to secretly waver as he thought of ways to cast off Yuan Xuan and truly help her get out. If Yuan Xuan insisted on having his own way, he could advise her to divorce him...
After a period of time, however, he felt that his thoughts were shameful and unforgivable.
Yuan Xuan did not want to punish her by forcing her to die here. Thus, she would be released sooner or later.
If he destroyed this balance, he would be undermining his friend!
Mu Chenyan's loving stance towards Yuan Xuan had never changed.
Although her resentfulness occasionally seeped through, the original intentions of her love had never changed. This was something that Wu Ze had acutely perceived.
This young woman who dared to love and hate had always made her affections and hostility apparent.
Thus, the event that happened today when she hid her sinister intentions behind a smile was something that this girl could never have done in the past...
When he recalled Yuan Xuan telling him about Mu Chenyan being abused in prison, Wu Ze suddenly realized that certain aspects of Mu Chenyan were changing...
