Chapter 1641: A Reinvestigation and Retrial

Since he hadn’t been able to bring about Ye Youyou’s death, he’d make it so Ye Tian would spend the rest of her life alone and without any support.

His daughter’s death could not be in vain.

Unexpectedly, when the lawyer heard Guan Yanhong’s orders, he hesitated a moment before saying, “Mr. Guan, I’m afraid we won’t be able to settle that yet.”

Guan Yanhong froze when he heard those words.

Standing rooted to the spot, he looked at the lawyer and laughed. “In that case,” he said, “get me a lawyer who can!”

The somber expression on the lawyer’s face remained unchanged as he said, “I’m afraid no one is going to be able to help you regardless of how many lawyers you change.”

As he spoke, he produced a lawyer’s letter. “I just received this. There has been some new development to the case regarding your daughter’s death.”

“What? New development?”

Guan Yanhong thought that he had heard wrong and loudly declared, “Hasn’t that case already been closed? Shen Luo’an has been sentenced to 20 years in prison, and that b*tch Ye Youyou has gotten away scot-free!”

As he spoke, a thought occurred to him. He asked, “Did evidence that implicated Ye Youyou once again surface?”

The lawyer shook his head and handed the letter over to him.

An ominous feeling overcame Guan Yanhong as he took the letter. He glanced at it. His heart skipped a beat.

“Mr. Li Jinnan and Ye Youyou, who was involved in this case, presented another piece of evidence that showed your daughter committed suicide and no one was to blame.”

Guan Yanhong was incredulous and lashed out. He ripped the paper into shreds and bellowed, “F*ck their evidence! My daughter is dead, and the perpetrator was sentenced to only 20 years in prison. Now they want to do away with that sentence altogether? Dream on!”

Although Guan Yanhong had finished his tirade, he was unable to calm himself.

Guan Yanhong was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. A Vacheron Constantin watch adorned his wrist. With both his hands on his hips, he looked fierce and imposing.

The lawyer lowered his head and didn’t say a word. He took out some documents and said, “You’re probably going to be quite busy. This time around, Ye Youyou and Mr. Li Jinnan are firm on their stance. Furthermore, they have touched base with the Shen family. They are now demanding a reinvestigation and retrial.”

“Is there any way to excuse me from appearing in court?”

“I’m afraid that’s not possible. You’re one of the parties concerned. Apparently…” The lawyer took a moment to weigh his words before continuing slowly. “Apparently, this evidence was found in your room.”

Guan Yanhong was flabbergasted. He turned to face to the lawyer and asked in disbelief, “What did you say?”

The lawyer had long expected that reaction from Guan Yanhong. He replied, “Your wife had a direct hand in this entire situation.”

Guan Yanhong suddenly felt a searing pain in his heart.

The pain came suddenly and viciously. Guan Yanhong had no chance to react whatsoever before his entire body fell forward.

The lawyer was stunned. He quickly rushed forward to prop him up.

Guan Yanhong leaned on the lawyer as he gasped desperately for air.

“Help! Help! Somebody, please call an ambulance!”

…

Guan Yanhong’s sudden hospitalization threw a curveball to everyone involved.

However, the court’s summons was still issued as scheduled.

The retrial was scheduled to take place three days later. In the days leading up to the retrial, Shen Luo’an had been moved from the prison to a new holding cell.

Although he was still being locked up, the move itself spoke volumes.

At the thought that he could very possibly be released, Shen Luo’an was so elated over the next few days that he even began to enjoy the prison food.
