Chapter 258 A Glimmer of Hope
The moment Luo Nan's fingertips touched the file folder, he couldn't help but shudder.
After quickly reading through all the funding chains, Luo Nan realized the value of the documents in his hand.
His knuckles turned bluish-white from excessive force, and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down in his taut neck, as if he were trying to swallow back the turbulent waves churning in his heart.
But her voice choked with emotion at the end: "Can...can I really have these?"
After asking the question, Luo Nan realized how ridiculous it was.
Since Bai Li had already handed the documents to him, the answer was already self-evident.
The evidence lying in his palm was enough to become the fulcrum to tip the scales of justice.
For him, this evidence was invaluable, carrying almost all his hopes for the future.
It's like walking alone on a winter night, and suddenly someone lights a lamp for you ahead.
The warmth that suddenly ignited within him was hard for him to believe and difficult to fully accept.
He didn't know how Bai Li managed to obtain these records of fund transfers, but he figured it wouldn't have been easy.
This funding chain is extremely complex, involving multiple forces and a large number of people, including several heavyweight figures.
Once made public, it will likely cause a huge uproar.
Almost all of the funds were not transferred within the country, making the investigation even more difficult.
When Luo Nan looked up at Bai Li again, his eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.
After Bai Li handed him the documents, her expression remained calm and unchanged.
While reading the documents, she could even chat casually with the handsome man behind her, her every move exuding composure.
Hearing his question, Bai Li tilted her head and chuckled, "Of course it's for you."
She paused, then continued, "However, this is just the tip of the iceberg. You'll need to gather more evidence yourself."
Bai Li's tone was calm, but a subtle, profound meaning flashed in her eyes.
She has already helped Luo Nan a lot, and this is all she can do.
The case is extremely complex, involving collusion between government and business, secret dealings among powerful figures, and also involving a mysterious organization operating in the gray area. The risks are too great.
She's willing to help secretly, but she can't step into the limelight.
That would only backfire.
She wasn't so arrogant as to think that she could easily walk away unscathed after helping Luo Nan resolve everything.
She wanted to help Luo Nan, not to sink into depravity with him.
If you're not careful, you could easily get yourself into trouble.
Ultimately, Luonan is not important enough for Bai Li to take any more risks.
Ultimately, Luo Nan has to rely on himself to overturn the verdict.
In Luo Nan's eyes, although Bai Li's eyes were filled with a kind smile, they were like moonlight veiled in mist, a kind of eye color that he could not understand.
Though gentle, she is exceptionally unattainable.
That hazy and elusive feeling made his throat tighten and his heart pound wildly in his chest.
He was unaware at that moment how deeply this fleeting glimpse had left its mark on him, so much so that decades later, he still remembered it vividly.
But that's a story for another time.
At that moment, as Bai Li spoke, Luo Nan's fingertips unconsciously traced the edge of the document.
He understood what Bai Li meant.
The documents that Bai Li provided to herself were key to overturning the case, but they didn't represent the whole story.
These measures can only open the door for him to request a more in-depth investigation from the authorities, but the extent to which they can push the authorities to take action depends on his legal team's efforts to advance the investigation.
Luo Nan glanced at the man behind Bai Li out of the corner of his eye. The natural and familiar atmosphere between the two made him feel a little suspicious.
Bai Li said last time that it was because she and Bai Li felt a connection at first sight.
But that doesn't seem to be the case.
Is it really possible for someone in this world to get involved in such a troublesome case just because they feel a connection with someone?
Seeing Bai Li interacting intimately with the man behind her, Luo Nan became even more certain of his thoughts.
Bai Li's approach to him was not solely due to any so-called "first impression".
Luo Nan mocked himself inwardly.
He had actually taken it a little seriously at first.
If it weren't for Bai Li, Luo Nan would never have imagined that he would dress up like this in his entire life.
Wearing only sparse clothing, they patiently listened to Brother Liao's teachings, learning the tricks to please the boss...
He wanted to give up several times, but he persevered because he knew he was there to please Bai Li.
But Bai Li clearly already has someone she belongs to.
The atmosphere between Bai Li and the man behind her said it all.
But the reason why Bai Li helped him was no longer important to Luo Nan at this moment.
Faced with this gift that could rewrite one's destiny, Luo Nan didn't care at all about Bai Li's true purpose.
She helped him despite knowing how dangerous the case was.
This is a fact.
These pieces of evidence are already valuable enough to overturn the verdict, so how could he possibly be greedy for more?
Luo Nan took a deep breath, pressed the document to his heaving chest, and slowly bent down, bowing deeply.
All the complex emotions—the humiliation of the family being disgraced, the resentment towards fate, the gratitude for Bai Li's help, the joy of finally seeing hope, and the doubt about Bai Li getting closer to him—ultimately converged into one sentence:
"Thank you... for saving me."
He didn't know how to repay the kindness that saved his whole family.
Luo Nan's favorability +10
Luo Nan's favorability rating: 65
Bai Li accepted Luo Nan's bow with a clear conscience, smiled, and reached out to help Luo Nan up.
No one would believe it if I told them.
She didn't need anything in return from Luo Nan; all she wanted was his favorability.
Because of his kindness to Luo Nan, Luo Nan's favorability rating has now risen to over 60 points, which is the stage of appreciation.
At this stage, the favorability rating is basically stable and will no longer fluctuate easily.
that's enough.
After helping Luo Nan up, Bai Li withdrew her hand and asked in a businesslike manner, "When will the court hearing be held?"
Luo Nan quickly composed himself and replied seriously, "Three more days."
Bai Li nodded gently: "Luckily we made it in time. I wish you all the best and look forward to your good news."
"it is good."
Before Bai Li left, Luo Nan took one last deep look at her.
Regardless of the final outcome of the case, whether it goes smoothly or not, he will do his best to repay Bai Li's kindness.
Looking at the boy's increasingly drooling eyes, Jingye felt a surge of bitterness in her heart.
A young person's sincere heart is always the most precious thing.
Although the young lady doesn't have any other feelings for him at the moment.
But Jingye still felt an invisible pressure in her heart.
The anxieties of age had already been quietly sown at this moment.

One week later.
City A.
Inside a private laboratory.
The chief researcher projected two test reports into the conference room: "The equipment samples submitted by Jinling Pharmaceutical last year are completely consistent with the metal composition of the so-called 'Loch's substandard products' at the accident site."
