In the latter half of the same year, Sheng Xian made headlines again due to a controversial case.

The reason was that he had taken on a case to defend a client who had a criminal record and had served twenty years in prison.

Upon release, the client had taken up a job as a delivery worker.

The deceased was a young internet celebrity, and on the day in question, Sheng Xian’s client had delivered a package to their home, making him the prime suspect.

In the eyes of most, this client with a criminal record was the murderer, so when Sheng Xian argued for his innocence, it was no surprise that he was criticized heavily online once again.

Facing the pressure of public opinion, Sheng Xian steadfastly maintained his client’s innocence, and ultimately, the police investigation proved him right.

His client was indeed wrongfully accused, and the internet celebrity’s death was a mere accident.

After the case was resolved, Sheng Xian was interviewed by a media outlet.

A reporter asked him, “Knowing that taking on such cases would put you at the center of media storms, why do you still accept them?”

Lu Jingyan had once asked him a similar question, and Sheng Xian’s response was exactly the same as before, “Because I want the truth to outrun public opinion.”

Reporter, “I really agree with what you said, but this time your client is different from the ones before, given his past criminal record. Could you explain how he gained your unqualified trust?”

Sheng Xian, “It wasn’t about him earning my trust, but rather that the evidence at the time was truly insufficient. The role of a lawyer is to uphold the dignity of the law, not to deem someone a criminal just because they have committed a crime before. Our job is to convince the guilty to admit their fault, and to clear the innocent of any wrongdoing. The law is like a river; it can’t always be right, but while it might get dirty at some parts, it shouldn’t be tainted at the source.”

At the end of the interview, the reporter sneaked in a personal question, “I’ve heard that Mr. Sheng has a girlfriend now, can you tell us what she is like?”
