Chapter 15 Relief

These days, Jia Wenjun waited for Wu Peng's news every day. Ever since she learned that Zhao Di had returned, Wu Peng and Liu Lu had been helping her with bail pending trial.

Whether bail pending trial can be granted is determined by the judicial authorities based on the needs of the case. In the blink of an eye, she had been in the detention center for over a month. These past few days, Wu Peng would bring her news of whether the bail pending trial had been approved. If it was, then after completing the relevant procedures, she could leave this place.

If it wasn't approved... Jia Wenjun took a deep breath. If the statutory conditions for bail pending trial were not met, the judicial authorities would explain the reasons for the disapproval. But Wu Peng had already analyzed it with her. Given her current situation, and the fact that Zhao Di was alive, her chances of getting it were still pretty high.

After finishing tidying up her things, Jia Wenjun was called out.

She knew Wu Peng had arrived. Even though she was apprehensive, she remained calm on the surface.

"Lawyer Wu." Jia Wenjun nodded to him, not directly asking, but just looking at the expression on his face. These days, Wu Peng seemed to have matured a lot. She couldn't immediately discern anything from his face anymore.

Wu Peng waited for the warden nearby to move away before saying, "I have news."

Jia Wenjun looked at his impenetrable face. Her worries outweighed her expectations. Her heart ached, but she had to perk up and ask, "What is it?"

Wu Peng looked at the expression on her face. Having known her for so long, he understood her more and more. Even if her face was unreadable, he could still see the panic in her eyes.

Knowing that her feigned strength was just a facade, he thought of her in his heart, the her from back then. Was she also like Jia Wenjun, desperate inside, but had to choose to be strong in order not to worry the people she cared about?

Wu Peng couldn't bear to test her any further. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Congratulations, you've been approved."

Jia Wenjun, who had already lost hope, was stunned when she suddenly heard him say that.

Looking at his upturned mouth, his body slightly tilted, the sunlight shining on his face, the tiny stud on his ear flashed with dazzling light. She just looked at him like that, without speaking for a long time.

"Are you saying... I can leave?" Jia Wenjun heard her voice choke.

Wu Peng had followed this case until now. When Grandpa Wang was injured, he knew he had been drawn in. He had never liked to lose since he was a child. To have this result after working so hard, he was no less excited than Jia Wenjun.

Seeing Jia Wenjun's eyes redden, he suppressed his emotions and said seriously again, "Your bail pending trial has been approved. Someone will come to you to read out the *Decision on Bail Pending Trial*, informing you of the regulations that must be followed during bail pending trial. After you understand them, sign it. As long as you don't violate the regulations during the bail pending trial period, after the bail pending trial expires, the public security authorities will return the deposit to you and lift the guarantee."

Jia Wenjun nodded不停不停不停, turned sideways and gently wiped away her tears. Although it was a bit of a mess, this was the best news she had heard here.

"There's one more thing, Hu Sixiang's case has gone to court. He can't escape the charge of intentional injury in the first instance. He's not convinced and is planning to appeal, but the second instance will most likely uphold the original verdict."

Jia Wenjun looked up at the direction of the sun, thinking what a good day it was today.

After all the formalities were completed, on the night before she came out, Jia Wenjun didn't sleep all night, just thinking about the time passing faster and faster, and dawn coming quickly, so she could see her parents.

The time to leave the detention center was at 9 a.m. the next morning. Jia Wenjun was led by the wardens to the outermost gate. She watched the gate slowly open. She saw the scenery and the sky outside. Although she had only been in for thirty-seven days, coming out again, she felt like she had been away for a lifetime.

Stepping out of the iron gate, she had never longed for freedom as much as she did at this moment. She didn't want to be locked up again. She

Jia Wenjun's parents and Wu Peng had been waiting outside for a long time. Seeing their daughter come out, the old couple quickly went up, and the family of three hugged each other.

Mother Jia looked at her daughter, who had lost so much weight, and her heart ached as she burst into tears. Father Jia also had red eyes. On the contrary, Jia Wenjun didn't cry, and even smiled and comforted them: "It's okay, I'm fine."

Seeing Wu Peng standing next to her, Jia Wenjun nodded to him: "Thank you, Lawyer Wu, and Lawyer Liu."

Seeing that her emotions were stable, Wu Peng also smiled and said, "Don't be polite with me, let's leave here first."

Wu Peng hailed a taxi. Mother Jia insisted on taking her daughter to get a haircut first, and then went to a hotel, handing her a bag of newly bought shoes, coats, trousers and intimate clothing, so that she could take a good shower and change all the clothes she was wearing, and throw them away. From head to toe, she would be in something new before returning home, representing a new life.

Jia Wenjun didn't object to a single word, and did everything her parents told her to do. After all the fuss, the four found a restaurant outside to eat before returning to the neighborhood.

Returning to her familiar home, Jia Wenjun felt a mixture of emotions. When entering the door, Mother Jia also burned a brazier at the door, and asked her daughter to step over it: "Pass the brazier, remove the bad luck, and may the days to come be peaceful and smooth."

Jia Wenjun raised her leg and stepped over it, thinking in her heart that in addition to peace, she also wanted the murderer to be brought to justice.

After Jia Wenjun's activities were completed, when she closed the door, the peephole in the opposite door was put down.

Compared with the happy Jia family, the Baima Mountain residence closed its doors and blocked its windows, wishing it wouldn't reveal anything.

Just now, when those people were fiddling with the brazier at the door, behind a door, Baima Mountain was holding his breath, watching every move through the peephole.

Seeing that Jia Wenjun was really released, he felt complicated. Anxiety was unnecessary to say. Since Zhao Di came back, things had been out of his plan one by one. Now that Jia Wenjun was back, there would probably be more things he couldn't control later.

But as long as Zhao Di didn't wake up, Baima Mountain wouldn't be afraid.

During this period of time, he had been to Zhao Di's ward three times. Except for the first time when Zhao Di had a reaction when he saw him, there had been no abnormalities in the following two times.

As for Lin Yang, because he couldn't bear Zhao Di's treatment costs, and seeing that Jia Wenjun was unwilling to budge, he directly filed a separate lawsuit against Jia Wenjun for civil compensation. But with Wu Peng and Liu Lu blocking him, it was not easy for the other party to get the money.

Faced with the money that had to be spent every day, in just over a month, Lin Yang's persona as a devoted husband could no longer be maintained. In order to squeeze the last bit of value out of Zhao Di, he used Zhao Di's previous live streaming account to broadcast Zhao Di's bedridden, vegetative state every day, hoping to win the sympathy and rewards of old fans.

The big brothers on the charts in the past came for Zhao Di's looks, not for charity. After rewarding him once or twice, no one came to the live broadcast room again. After all, everyone came to have fun. Life was already hard enough, why spend money to watch these bitter dramas?

Baima Mountain knew that, with the Lin Yang family's nature, let alone getting treatment, it would be difficult for Zhao Di to maintain basic life in the future. Fortunately, Zhao Di had found such a family, and Baima Mountain felt that things had not yet reached a dangerous point. So even though Jia Wenjun was back, he was anxious, but he still didn't want to act rashly.
