Episode 22 recap: Ma La Song approached Qi Heng to express his feelings openly.

Xiong Jian Lin played the role of Chen Shu in the end. Initially, he didn't intend to kill Qu Xiaoyan. It was because Qu Xiaoyan kicked him in the groin, causing unbearable pain. In a fit of anger, he grabbed a tree branch and harmed her. At that moment, he harbored a deep hatred towards Qu Xiaoyan and only wanted to figure out how to kill her.

Ma La Song clearly noticed Xiong Jian Lin's hesitant and evasive responses regarding the process of hurting Qu Xiaoyan. Initially, Xiong Jian Lin thought that the person he harmed was Wang Chun Lan. It was only when he saw Wang Chun Lan getting off the car that he realized he had mistaken the person. However, Wang Chun Lan still remained his goddess in his heart.

Up until this moment, Xiong Jian Lin persists in claiming that he didn't intend to kill anyone. He insists that he was overwhelmed by anger at that time and emphasizes that he never had the intention to kill. Subsequently, Ma La Song announced a recess, and the next step would be discussing the sentencing of Xiong Jian Lin.

Although Qi Heng is still in bed due to illness, he remains deeply concerned about how Ma La Song will handle the case this time, considering the attention it has attracted. During the evening, while Ma La Song and his team were discussing the case, Zhang Yan Jun approached and advised Niu Geng to let the young people pursue their ambitions. Ma La Song took the opportunity to ask Zhang Yan Jun if they could receive some rewards, but Zhang Yan Jun didn't respond and left directly. Ma La Song realized that Zhang Yan Jun had always been tight-fisted.

Wu Shen Yuan continues to send people to investigate the troublemakers, but even if they catch them, the information provided is completely inaccurate. Regarding the compensation issue, it was actually Luo Huai Gong secretly assisting Wang Peng's daughter, hoping to use her in the future.

Luo Huai Gong never expected that things wouldn't go as planned. They couldn't bring Qi Heng down from his current position. It seems that continuing to deal with Qi Heng will not be an easy task.

Ma La Song and the other two individuals began to analyze Xiong Jian Lin's intention to kill Qu Xiaoyan. Initially, Niu Geng intended to provide them with advice, but after hearing Zhang Yan Jun's statement, Niu Geng decided to let the young people take bold actions this time.

In court, although Xiong Jian Lin unintentionally mentioned his desire to harm Qu Xiaoyan, Ma La Song silently took note of it. This could be a crucial point, and Ma La Song even felt that Xiong Jian Lin did it intentionally. Ma La Song wanted to establish the charge of intentional murder and find loopholes in Xiong Jian Lin's words.

Wang Peng's defense lawyer invited him to the office and explained that Luo Huai Gong is a philanthropist. They mentioned the difficult situation they are currently facing and promised to provide all the expenses for Wang Chun Lan's university education. Wang Peng became extremely excited, never expecting such a good thing to happen to him. He even expressed his willingness to repay his benefactor no matter what happens in the future.

Late at night, while Ma La Song was still organizing the case, she fell asleep and had a nightmare. She quietly went to the hospital to seek Qi Heng's help in analyzing the situation. She said she was always worried that Xiong Jian Lin would seek revenge in the future. After all, this was her first time serving as the presiding judge, and every word she says would impact someone's life.

She wasn't sure if she was saying the right things. The position of a presiding judge has brought her a heavy burden, and Ma La Song is currently very anxious. Qi Heng understands her feelings well and continues to encourage her. It's not easy to make a decision between immediate execution or a suspended death sentence. Qi Heng tells her to make the judgment based on the final circumstances. Qi Heng reminds her about the first death penalty case, where the defendant's family also caused trouble for him.
