Ju Mengying widened her eyes in terror, frantically trying to get up, but her legs gave way and she fell back to the ground. She looked around in panic, trying to find a way to escape.
"You can't run away!" Lawyer Liu shouted sternly, and the police behind him immediately stepped forward to firmly restrain Ju Mengying.
Ju Mengying struggled desperately, her sharp voice piercing the silence of the hospital room: "Let me go! I didn't! I didn't kill anyone! It was Wang Wenxin; she crashed into the mountain herself! It has nothing to do with me!"
"Even now, you still want to argue?" Lawyer Liu pulled a photo from his file bag, showing Ju Mengying in a transaction with the repair shop owner. In the photo, Ju Mengying's expression was greedy and vicious.
"This photo is enough to prove that you bribed the repair shop owner to tamper with Wang Wenxin's car. And you, Zhang Chengbin," Lawyer Liu suddenly turned to the silent Zhang Chengbin, "you watched your wife and child meet with misfortune just to be with this woman. Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?!"
Zhang Chengbin lowered his head helplessly; he knew he had nowhere to escape.
The police escorted Ju Mengying and Zhang Chengbin into the police car, and the wailing sirens gradually faded away, leaving Wang Wenxin and Lawyer Liu standing in the empty hospital room.
"Ms. Wang, please accept my condolences. Your child just passed away," the doctor stood at the door of the room, hesitating to speak.
Wang Wenxin leaned weakly against the head of the bed, her eyes hollow as if she had lost her soul. She tightly clutched a photo in her hand, where her child smiled innocently, but now that child was gone forever.
"Wenxin, my condolences," Lawyer Liu walked over to Wang Wenxin and gently patted her shoulder, his tone filled with sympathy and regret.
Wang Wenxin slowly raised her head, tears silently streaming down her face. She trembled as she asked, "Lawyer Liu, will they... will they get what they deserve?"
"They will, Wenxin," Lawyer Liu said firmly. "I will make sure they pay for their crimes; I will not show them any mercy!"
Wang Wenxin closed her eyes as tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes.
In the following months, with Lawyer Liu's help, Wang Wenxin sued Ju Mengying and Zhang Chengbin for intentional homicide and negligent homicide.
In the courtroom, Lawyer Liu clearly presented the case and provided a wealth of evidence, including records of transactions between Ju Mengying and the auto repair shop owner, evidence of Zhang Chengbin transferring marital assets, and various actions taken by Ju Mengying and Zhang Chengbin to fabricate evidence and evade responsibility after Wang Wenxin's accident.
Faced with overwhelming evidence, Ju Mengying and Zhang Chengbin were left speechless and were ultimately sentenced to life imprisonment and fifteen years in prison, respectively.
At the moment of sentencing, Wang Wenxin stood in the audience, watching her former partner and once-close friend brought to justice. Yet, she felt no sense of pleasure, only endless sorrow and emptiness.
She had won the lawsuit and sought justice for her child, but she had forever lost her most precious family member.
As she exited the courthouse, the glaring sunlight shone on Wang Wenxin's pale face. She slowly lifted her head to gaze at the blue sky, as if she could see her child's innocent smile.
"Child, Mom has avenged you. Please be well in heaven..." Wang Wenxin whispered softly, her voice filled with endless sadness and longing.
Wang Wenxin took a deep breath, trying to suppress her trembling voice as she softly said, "Child, Mom will carry your spirit and live on..."
She slowly stood up, swaying slightly. Lawyer Liu quickly reached out to support her.
"Are you okay?" Lawyer Liu asked with concern.
Wang Wenxin gently pushed away Lawyer Liu's hand and forced a faint smile. "I'm fine, just... feeling a bit empty inside."
She looked around at the empty street and the desolate autumn wind; everything seemed so bleak, reflecting her current mood.
"Let's go. I'll take you home," Lawyer Liu said as he picked up Wang Wenxin's bag, signaling her to follow.
Wang Wenxin silently followed Lawyer Liu, the two of them walking one after the other on the street covered with falling leaves, neither of them saying a word.
Returning to the empty house, Wang Wenxin felt as if her soul had been drawn out, losing all vitality. She mechanically tidied up her child's clothes, each piece carrying beautiful memories between her and her child.
A T-shirt printed with cartoon patterns, the child's favorite to wear; a fluffy Teddy Bear that the child always hugged while sleeping; a vividly illustrated storybook that the child insisted she read every night...
Wang Wenxin gently touched each of her child's belongings, tears uncontrollably streaming down her face, soaking the photo in her hands.
She remembered her child's innocent smile, the child's sweet calls, and how the child would act spoiled in her arms...
These beautiful memories had now become the deepest pain in her heart.
Wang Wenxin could no longer endure this heart-wrenching pain. She tightly held her child's belongings in her arms and let the tears flow freely.
After an unknown amount of time, Wang Wenxin gradually calmed down. She wiped away her tears, and her gaze became resolute.
She could not sink into despair like this; she had to live strongly, for her child and for herself.
Wang Wenxin took a deep breath and began packing her bags. She sold the house and the car, leaving behind only some simple clothes and her child's belongings.
She wanted to leave this place of sorrow and start anew in an unfamiliar location.
"Where are you going?" Lawyer Liu learned that Wang Wenxin was leaving and specially came to see her off.
Wang Wenxin looked at this benefactor who had always helped her and gratefully said, "Lawyer Liu, thank you for your help during this time. Without you, I really wouldn't know what to do."
She paused for a moment before continuing, "I have made up my mind. I want to go to a place where no one knows me and open a charity organization named after my child to help those children who have lost loved ones like I have."
"This is a great idea," Lawyer Liu said with an approving nod. "I believe you can definitely do it."
Wang Wenxin smiled gratefully, knowing that this would be the goal and meaning of her life from now on.
She would pour all her love into public welfare, helping those children in need, allowing them to feel warmth and hope.
"Goodbye, Lawyer Liu," Wang Wenxin waved her hand and turned to leave, her back resolute and determined.
Lawyer Liu watched Wang Wenxin depart, filled with admiration and blessings in his heart.
This strong woman would surely overcome all difficulties and find her own happiness.
With endless thoughts of the children in her heart, Wang Wenxin boarded the train to an unfamiliar city.
She knew the road ahead was still long, but she would no longer lose her way.
She would carry the dreams of the children and bravely move forward, living out her own piece of sky.
As the train slowly left the station, Wang Wenxin gazed out at the fleeting scenery, her eyes filled with the light of hope.
She believed that one day, she would reunite with the children in heaven. At that time, she would proudly tell them that she had fulfilled their dreams and passed on this love to many more people.
