"That's fake… right?" Shi Guang asked gently.
"That's fake. It's just a rumor. Chief Lu did have the person beaten up rather terribly, but the person did not die. And besides, that person was the one who did something wrong, and his eventual outcome was life imprisonment in jail."
Shi Guang held Lu Yanchen's hand and locked fingers with him. "Even if you stood as a witness back then and he felt that you let him down because you guys were friends, hadn't he nearly killed you? Haven't you let him off then as well? In theory, shouldn't that even things out? Now that he's trying to set you up as such, if you were to let him off again, he's definitely not going to appreciate it, and there'll definitely be a next time as well."
Lu Yanchen hugged her by the shoulder and brought her into his embrace.
Back then, they were good friends. When he gave the statement, he too did not feel good, wondering if he had made the right choice in doing so.
