Estate lawyer He Wenzhou hates two things the most: unnotarized wills, and living people pretending to be affectionate through the dead.
But the new case he took over included both.
Zhou Qiming, a wealthy businessman in Haicheng, died suddenly and left two wills. One divided the billions of family property between his wife and children, which was as decent as a company's annual report; the other left the entire inheritance to a young man who died seventeen years ago.
What's even more troublesome is that the person responsible for repairing Zhou Qiming's body is Liang Yan.
Seven years ago, Liang Yan personally arranged the remains of He Wenzhou's younger brother, He Wenchuan, and left the rest of He Wenzhou's life in a farewell that never ended.
After the reunion, He Wenzhou checked the will and Liang Yan looked at the deceased. One is dedicated to carrying out the last wishes of the deceased, and the other is dedicated to preserving the last dignity of the deceased.
They thought it was just a fight between rich families for property, until Liang Yan found an old ring from the deceased. There is a name engraved on the inner circle of the ring, and that name is connected with the old death case of He Wenchuan.
He Wenzhou asked: "Are you all so good at hiding secrets for the dead?"
Liang Yan said: "I'm not as good as your lawyers. A living person has no shame, and a dead person has to sign and take the blame."
Later they learned that some people died in accidents, some died in murders, and some were pretended to be forgotten by the living for many years.
Purpose: A true farewell is not to remain silent for the deceased, but to retrieve the buried truth for them.
