The next morning, in the office, Wan Yunting, shirtless, gradually woke up on the resting bed, bathed in the sunlight from the window. He opened his eyes, rubbed them with his large hand, and felt his right arm pinned. He turned his head and saw Ling Wei nestled against his chest…
Wan Yunting was stunned. Looking at Ling Wei’s delicate willow eyebrows from this angle, beneath her long eyelashes, even her closed, foxy eyes exuded a seductive charm, especially in her current state…
Recalling their passionate night, Wan Yunting’s lips curved upwards in an indescribable smile. He carefully withdrew his arm from beneath her, then quietly lifted the duvet, got out of bed, and looked at the sleeping Ling Wei. She looked like a well-behaved and charming fox, giving off a cute feeling.
Wan Yunting carefully pulled the duvet up for her, then quietly put on his clothes, picked up his phone from the bedside table, and cautiously opened the door. He glanced back one last time at Ling Wei on the bed before closing the door…
The next second, Ling Wei on the bed slightly opened her foxy eyes, watching the closing door. A smile touched her charming red lips, and she closed her eyes again, comfortably turning over and continuing to sleep…
However, beneath the red bedsheet, there was a brownish bloodstain…
“Boss Wan.”
Wan Yunting pushed open the office door. The two security guards who had been waiting outside bowed their heads.
“Where is Kuang Long?” wap.kanshu伍.net
Wan Yunting stretched lazily. A security guard bowed his head, “Brother Long went back. He instructed me to escort you back.”
Wan Yunting nodded, went downstairs, and left the club. He was directly sent back to his second brother’s house.
After going upstairs and freshening up, lawyer Chi Heng called him, asking him to come to court for a hearing at noon.
His appeal case for rape was scheduled for trial today.
His second brother, Wan Dongming, was also home, so he went to Huadu Court with Wan Yunting.
At the courthouse entrance, a group of news reporters, upon seeing Wan Yunting appear, rushed forward to surround him: “Mr. Wan, can you tell us how you are feeling right now?”
“Mr. Wan, are you confident about winning this appeal case…”
Wan Yunting and his second brother did not speak. They pushed past the reporters at the entrance and entered the courthouse. There, they saw Pang Yuan and Ma Zhendong had also arrived. They nodded and greeted each other before entering the court together.
Many people had already arrived inside. Wan Yunting saw his classmates and friends, including Fang Yanxi, Jin Xiuwen, Jiang Peipei, and Huang Yuqing, in the audience. Wan Yunting smiled and nodded at them, then met up with lawyer Chi Heng and took his seat as the appellant.
Wan Dongming, Pang Yuan, Ma Zhendong, and others sat in the first row of the audience seats. As the court bailiffs took their positions, two female police officers brought in Zhang Li.
Looking at her haggard face, which was no longer recognizable, one could imagine the suffering she had endured in prison during this period. However, Wan Yunting remained expressionless, showing no sympathy.
Then, witness Feng Le'an also arrived and was assigned to the witness stand. The court bailiffs began the trial…
Since Zhang Li had already confessed how Chen Tao planned to drug Wan Yunting and stage the rape scene, coupled with Feng Le'an’s audio evidence, the evidence for exoneration was conclusive. The court did not have a complex trial, and ultimately ruled Wan Yunting not guilty. The state also awarded him 1.3 million yuan in compensation.
Wan Yunting had nothing to say about the verdict; he only needed to clear his name of the rape charge.
Soon, this verdict appeared in the major news outlets in Huadu. From this day on, Wan Yunting was cleared of the rape charge and was completely free, becoming a normal person again.
“Brother, congratulations…”
Jin Xiuwen rushed up and hugged Wan Yunting.
Fang Yanxi, Jiang Peipei, and Huang Yuqing also congratulated him. Wan Yunting smiled and nodded, “I’ll host lunch at my place this afternoon.”
“Great!”
Jin Xiuwen and the others were happy and delighted for Wan Yunting.
After all, he had been wrongfully imprisoned for over seven years, enduring torment that ordinary people could not comprehend. Now, he was finally released…
After bidding farewell to Pang Yuan and Ma Zhendong, and consulting with lawyer Chi Heng about his eldest sister’s case, he learned that the court had not yet set a date for his eldest sister and Hou Bing’s case.
In the afternoon, at his second brother’s house, Wan Yunting invited Fang Yanxi, Jiang Peipei, Huang Yuqing, Jin Xiuwen, and Feng Le'an for a meal and drinks at home, celebrating his exoneration and his return to normalcy.
After the gathering at home, they went to an outdoor KTV to continue the celebration. Wan Yunting drank quite a bit that night. In high spirits, he was egged on by Jin Xiuwen and the others to sing "You Are the Most Precious" with Fang Yanxi.
It wasn’t until one o'clock in the morning that Jin Xiuwen and the others were mostly drunk and were sent home by designated drivers.
Fang Yanxi had also drunk quite a bit but was not yet drunk. Wan Yunting, also sober, sent Jiang Peipei and the others home. Finally, only they remained. Seeing the designated driver arrive, Fang Yanxi said, “Then I’ll be going.”
“Yes, be careful on the way.”
Wan Yunting saw her into the car and gave a few instructions to the driver. Fang Yanxi smiled and said, “Don’t forget about tomorrow’s noon flight.”
“Okay.”
Wan Yunting nodded and waved goodbye as she drove away.
Then, he returned home with his second brother and the others and went straight to sleep. He didn't wake up until nine o'clock the next morning, feeling refreshed and invigorated.
This was the best sleep he had had in seven years.
“Uncle, are you Daddy Pig? Sleeping so late.”
Wan’er, who had woken up early, said with a pout as she watched Wan Yunting come downstairs.
“Hehe, if I’m Daddy Pig, are you Peppa?”
Wan Yunting, holding Wan'er, had been watching Peppa Pig with his niece recently.
“Third brother, come and have breakfast quickly,” said his second sister-in-law, Wang Chulin, as she entered from outside.
“Okay, second sister-in-law.”
Wan Yunting put Wan’er down, letting her watch television in the living room by herself, and went to the dining room to eat breakfast. Seeing his second sister-in-law tidying up in the kitchen, he said, “Second sister-in-law, I’m going to Anhui at noon and might not be back until tomorrow.”
“Are you going with Miss Fang?” Wang Chulin asked.
“Yes, to inspect medicinal herbs.”
After finishing breakfast in a flash, Wan Yunting checked the time. Fang Yanxi’s flight was booked for eleven-thirty that morning, so he stayed home to play with Wan’er.
At ten forty, Fang Yanxi called. Wan Yunting grabbed his already packed travel bag, which contained only two changes of clothes, and rushed to the airport by car.
Fang Yanxi, who had arrived at the airport earlier, was not wearing her uniform for this business trip. Instead, she wore a simple and refreshing white dress. The fitted design accentuated her slender waist, which was as delicate as a graspable willow branch.
The hem of the dress reached her knees, revealing straight, fair, and alluring legs. Paired with exquisite high heels, she stood tall and graceful. Her delicate makeup made Fang Yanxi look even more captivating, with an elegant and dignified aura. Standing at the airport entrance, she attracted countless admiring glances from the opposite sex.
“Ms. Fang, you really don’t need me to go?”
Secretary Lin Xiaoqi, who had taken a suitcase out of the trunk, handed the suitcase to Fang Yanxi. “No need, I can go alone.”
Lin Xiaoqi pouted. “That’s true. Since Mr. Wan will be accompanying you, I won’t be a third wheel.”
“Tsk tsk, is your mouth so sharp?”
Fang Yanxi chided her with a glance, which made Lin Xiaoqi giggle. Seeing a taxi slowly approaching, Wan Yunting, carrying his travel bag, got out of the car. “Ms. Fang, Mr. Fang is here…”
