In the midsummer of that year, he picked him up from the mire, cleaned him, and raised him.
He didn't say anything, just smiled: "It's okay, I never blamed you."
He is the top forensic doctor in the industry, cold and distant, and never moved by anyone - until he stood next to the autopsy table. He is a talented lawyer who specializes in defending "impossible to win" cases, but for the first time at the trial, he asked questions that had nothing to do with the case.
The trial was over and they were back under the same roof. Gu Yanzhou pushed him down on the old chair in the study and brushed his thumb against his trembling eyelids.
"Don't hide." His voice had no warmth, but was hotter than anyone else's. "Look at me."
Later, someone found a sentence in Shen Jichuan's memo: What I fear most in this life is not death, but that while I am alive, I will never be able to say "I'm sorry" to him again.

Shen Jichuan, the youngest legendary forensic doctor in the industry, never makes mistakes on the dissecting table and is as calm as a precision instrument. Genius lawyer Gu Yanzhou, twenty-three years old, specializes in defending cases that are impossible to win and has never lost.
A secret room murder case pitted two people against each other in court - Shen Jichuan was the prosecutor's expert witness, and Gu Yanzhou was the defendant's lawyer. No one knew that at the end of each trial, the eloquent lawyer would return to their shared home to continue the questioning in a more private way. In his understanding, Shen Jichuan was not his benefactor, but his possessions that he had raised for sixteen years.
Until Shen Jichuan was seriously injured and hospitalized while protecting evidence. Gu Yanzhou turned over a yellowed memo in front of the hospital bed - sixteen years, and his name was on every page. From the day he was adopted at the age of seven, to the first case he won, to his words on his eighteenth birthday, "I won't call you uncle anymore."
He finally began to ask the question that had tortured him for half his life: Did he raise him for sixteen years to atone for his sins, or was it something else?
When the answer was revealed, hatred was shattered. And someone has been waiting in the dark for sixteen years, waiting for him to ask.
