Chapter 13

Husi Xiang wanted to find out Gong Dalong's address, so he carried two bags of fruit and followed an old lady who lived in the same building into the building.

When they were in the elevator, the old lady saw him press the thirteenth floor and asked who he was looking for.

The building had two apartments per floor, and the old lady happened to live on the thirteenth floor as well.

Husi Xiang forced a smile, "I, I'm looking for Gong Dalong's home. I'm his friend."

As soon as the old lady heard this, she immediately said, "Friend? You haven't been in touch for a long time, have you? Did you know something happened to his family?"

Husi Xiang looked extremely unnatural, "...I know. I'm here to see his wife."

He really couldn't stand the torment of the past few days. Gong Dalong's wife had asked him for five million, which he couldn't afford, but he could at least give her one of the two apartments. He would sell his own apartment and give all the money to Gong Dalong's family, as long as they could reach a settlement and prevent him from being arrested. He would do anything for them.

The old lady looked him up and down, "His wife hasn't been back for a long time. She hasn't been back since her daughter's accident."

Husi Xiang was stunned, "Do you know where she went?"

The old lady curled her lips, "How would I know?"

The elevator arrived, and Husi Xiang followed the old lady out. Seeing that the old woman lived next door to Gong Dalong, he directly gave her the fruit, "Auntie, since no one is home, I won't take these things back. Keep them for yourself."

He had just seen the old lady glancing back and forth at his two heavy bags of fruit. Living so close, she must know something.

The old lady declined a few times but accepted it in the end. After all, she had taken something from him. She finally said to Husi Xiang, "That woman is also a poor thing, married to a philandering man and gave birth to a child with problems. She could only watch over the child all day long, afraid that something would happen. Who knew the child would commit suicide in the end? I heard the blood in that room flowed everywhere."

Husi Xiang could only listen silently, not daring to say a word.

The old lady sighed again, "That child was quite sensible, always greeted me politely whenever she saw me. After her father died, it was just her and her mother relying on each other. Her mother was traumatized and yelled all day long, making the neighbors upstairs and downstairs unbearable. The child didn't say a word. When we went to argue with her, we saw the child cleaning the house and cooking for her mother. Such a young child, it was really heartbreaking."

The corridor was a bit dark, the elevator went up and down, and occasionally the wind blew through. Listening to the old lady talking about the little girl, Husi Xiang felt a chill down his spine, as if the child was standing in front of his house, staring straight at him.

He really couldn't take it anymore and could only interrupt the old lady, "Auntie, has Gong Dalong's wife really not come back since the child's accident?"

"I was just about to say that." The old lady continued, "Think about it, although the child was sick and often scolded by that woman as a burden, she was still the child she had raised for so many years. Her husband was gone, and she only had this one relative left. With the child gone too, the woman suffered two blows in a row and went straight to the hospital."

Husi Xiang was shocked, "Which hospital?"

The old lady shook her head, "I'm not too sure. I heard people in the community say it was a mental hospital."

Husi Xiang didn't know how he walked out of Gong Dalong's apartment complex. Gong Dalong was dead, his daughter was also dead, and his wife was crazy. Would all these subsequent responsibilities be placed on him?

If he had known that his stab would lead to this, Husi Xiang would rather have been a cowardly turtle for a thousand years than take action.

It was all Jia Wenjun's fault, that murderer. If she hadn't drugged everyone, Gong Dalong wouldn't have gone to the wrong room. That woman deserved to be sentenced to death ten times over.

Filled with hatred for Jia Wenjun, Husi Xiang, sitting in the car, suddenly thought of something: Gong Dalong's wife was the only family member, and now that she was crazy, she wouldn't ask him for money anymore. If he used the money he originally wanted to use for a settlement to hire a good defense lawyer to help him get acquitted, could he get away with it?

With this thought, he immediately found a law firm to consult.

When Husi Xiang came out of the law firm, he was not as panicked as when he first went to Gong Dalong's place. A lawyer with a beard promised him that he would do his best to help him with the lawsuit. Looking at the various award certificates the lawyer showed him, Husi Xiang was extremely satisfied and didn't bother looking at other lawyers. When signing the contract, he desperately bargained with the lawyer, and finally left the law firm with a contract that only cost him a little money, smiling brightly.

Hao Jieling was eating with her son when Husi Xiang, carrying a handful of cooked food and whistling, came back from outside.

Neither mother nor son understood what had happened. This person, who was clearly irritable when he went out, had completely changed his decadent appearance of the past few days in just one afternoon and came back to life?

Husi Xiang put the things on the table and said to Hao Jieling, "What are you waiting for? Put the dishes on a plate."

After speaking, he picked up Nao Nao, "Son, we're eating good food tonight, are you happy?"

Nao Nao had been used as a punching bag by Husi Xiang these past few days, and was quite frightened at this time, "Hap, happy."

"What's going on with you today?" Hao Jieling was full of alertness, afraid that he would suddenly go crazy again, and quickly pulled the child away from his arms.

Husi Xiang crossed his legs and told his wife about his visit to Gong Dalong's house and then hiring a lawyer.

Hao Jieling hated Gong Dalong on the ship and was extremely disgusted with Gong Dalong's wife's exorbitant blackmail, but thinking about how their family was already broken, she couldn't help but feel a little唏嘘. Hugging her child, she looked at Gong Dalong, "I heard that hiring a lawyer for a lawsuit is very expensive. You only spent this little money, is the lawyer you hired reliable?"

"Would I sign a contract with him if he wasn't reliable? He has a whole stack of award certificates. It's not that you can only hire a good lawyer if you have a lot of money, it depends on how big the matter is. Someone like Jia Wenjun will definitely be sentenced to death, even if she hires an intern lawyer, it will cost a lot of money. I just lightly scratched Gong Dalong, it wasn't even a fatal wound, how much money could it cost?"

"As long as you think it's reliable." Hao Jieling also wanted to end this kind of life as soon as possible. Although she wasn't as afraid of the police coming to her as Husi Xiang was, Husi Xiang was always going crazy at home, taking it out on her and the child. Who could stand that?

Husi Xiang, who had just had a good night's sleep, received a call from the police station early the next morning.

Husi Xiang went to the entrance of the police station with a look of trepidation and called his lawyer, who said that he couldn't come right now and told him to deal with it himself first.

Husi Xiang hung up the phone and cursed a few times, and could only bite the bullet and go in by himself.
