While eating, Xue Mei came across a note in her food. It was passed along from Wang Zhen, reassuring her to calmly wait for his rescue. He explained that the current situation was too tense, and even if he managed to get her out, leaving Jin City would not necessarily be possible. He implored her to be patient.
Xue Mei was unsure whether he would really rescue her, or if he was just buying time. However, she chose to trust the former because if Wang Zhen didn't want to save her and was afraid she would betray him, he could have just arranged for her to be killed instead of sending this note. There was no need for him to stall.
So, she chose to patiently wait.
The final trial arrived.
The courtroom was packed with layers of people, inside and out.
Bai Wanrou hadn't received any news from Cheng Tian, and had decided to expose Cheng Xiaopeng that day. There was no way she was going to let that ungrateful man roam freely!
