Chapter 1251: 1251. Severely mentally ill patient

"Mo Mo! So much blood, Mo Mo..."

"Xu Xu, wake up! Xu Xu, wake up Xu Xu..."

Lu Moqing directly went onto the bed with slippers on and held Qiao Xu entirely in his arms.

Feeling Qiao Xu’s struggle in his arms and her severe trembling, it was evident that the accident had terrified her.

Watching her best friend being stabbed in the heart with a fruit knife, covered in blood, in front of her would be traumatic for anyone.

"Xu Xu! Xu Xu, it’s okay, Xu Xu!"

Lu Moqing could only hold Qiao Xu like this and gently comfort her.

After a long time, the person in his arms slowly relaxed.

She slowly opened her eyes, raised her head somewhat bewilderedly and met Lu Moqing’s deep and distressed gaze.

"Moqing?"

"Are you awake?"

Lu Moqing reached out and gently wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, "Were you frightened by what happened today?"

As Lu Moqing mentioned today’s event, Qiao Xu’s expression turned pale.

After a long while, she finally said, "Mo Mo was stabbed while trying to save me. At that time..."

"No."

Lu Moqing interrupted her, "That person was targeting Xia Yumo."

Qiao Xu was startled, her gaze full of surprise as she looked at Lu Moqing, suddenly remembering him grabbing the attacker’s hand, preventing him from stabbing further, and the words the man kept repeating.

To avenge my brother...

What does that mean?

"That’s a mentally ill person. His brother is Liang Yong, the college student who fought with a classmate and accidentally caused a death in the news some time ago. The person who stabbed Xia Yumo was Liang Yong’s younger brother."

Qiao Xu had heard about Liang Yong from Xia Yumo before.

Liang Yong was poor, had average grades at school, and was often ostracized in school.

Liang Yong’s fight with his classmate at school led to the latter’s death and prosecution by the Procuratorate.

As Liang Yong’s family couldn’t afford a lawyer, Xia Yumo, in addition to running her own law firm, had also registered for legal aid cases.

Liang Yong was the first legal aid case Xia Yumo took on.

Liang Yong’s family insisted that he acted in self-defense and asked Xia Yumo to defend him as not guilty.

But the evidence submitted by the police, including eyewitness testimony and surveillance videos provided by the school, all showed that Liang Yong started the fight that day.

Liang Yong’s actions were not in self-defense.

Xia Yumo tried several times to explain to Liang Yong’s parents that, given the conclusive evidence, she could at best help Liang Yong get a reduced sentence by presenting him as suffering from constant bullying in school and his actions as negligence leading to the death of the victim.

However, the parents didn’t listen to Xia Yumo’s words, and instead criticized her, saying she didn’t help their son wholeheartedly because they were poor and couldn’t afford her attorney fees.

Because of this, Xia Yumo often told her that there must be something hateful about pitiful people, and she shouldn’t take on such a lawsuit.

As expected, after taking on such a case, she almost paid with her life.

Thinking of this, Qiao Xu’s face sank, and a layer of frost spread across her face.

Suddenly, she thought of something and looked up at Lu Moqing, "Is Liang Yong’s brother mentally ill?"

Lu Moqing nodded, just now he got the news from the police.

Liang Yong’s brother was gravely mentally ill and might not be able to be prosecuted because of his lack of criminal responsibility.
