Xia Chu was no stranger to reading people, and she could clearly see that Jin Xiang's apologies and regrets were genuine.
This made her reflect on the tough upbringing that both he and Yu Liqin endured, which probably drove their strong resolve.
Yet, they truly lacked the capacity to handle risks; they were fine when things went smoothly but crumbled under adversity.
This was what had set them on a path of no return.
In light of all this, Xia Chu couldn't help but sigh.
Yet, that was it.
No amount of hardship or reasons could justify their crimes.
A crime was a crime and they must bear all legal responsibilities and consequences.
Using that popular saying, "What use are apologies and regrets if the police and law still have work to do?"
Thus, Xia Chu quickly changed the subject. "Now it's certain that nothing can tarnish my reputation anymore. From the New Year till now, I've been quite busy."
