Death penalty?
This outcome indeed caught me by surprise.
I had never thought that Gu Yuanzhou would be sentenced to death, my expectation was to have him stay in prison for a lifetime.
The result left me somewhat at a loss.
Afterwards, what Wenya said to Su Peisheng, I completely tuned out.
My entire being felt somewhat adrift.
It wasn't until after six in the evening when Jiang Yuyan walked into the office and looked at me.
Only then did I realize that I had been in the office by myself, lost in a daze the entire afternoon.
"Miss Song, aren't you leaving work yet?"
"Hmm, you go ahead."
"Miss Song, how about I accompany you home?"
"I don't want to go back, I want to stay here for a while. It's fine, you can go."
"Uh, are you hungry? Shall I get you something to eat?"
"No need, I'm not hungry!"
Jiang Yuyan stayed by my side for quite a while, making sure I was okay before she left.
