Hinton is a lawyer who just graduated from college. His first client was Luo Jingjing. Because her father's factory went bankrupt, she invited William Hinton to transfer his father's property to her name, and the sealed-up old house was won back by legal means. Because Luo Baochun was suspected of transferring property, the case eventually lost. William Hinton is a little sympathetic to what happened to Luo Jingjing. In the dialogue with Luo Jingjing, William Hinton also learned about her relationship with her boyfriend Long Xiaoyu. After he returned to Beijing for some time, he happened to see Luo Jingjing, who made a living as a slim model of osl flower, in a shopping mall in Beijing. William Hinton broke up with Amber and turned to Luo Jingjing to launch a confession offensive. He invited Luo Jingjing to live in his home in Beijing, and the two confirmed their love relationship. William Hinton came across Long Xiaoyu who came to Beijing to look for Luo Jingjing. After Long Xiaoyu was captured by Yao Dawei, William Hinton learned from Luo Jingjing that Long Xiaoyu would flee to Xinjiang with Luo Jingjing.
At the request of Luo Jingjing, although there were many obstacles in the legal field, William Hinton finally agreed to be Long Xiaoyu's defense lawyer. They came to Xiamen and lived in the home of Luo Jingjing's good friend Cheng Yao. William Hinton met Long Xiaoyu in the detention center and learned from him what happened that night. It turned out that Long Xiaoyu was prepared to use money to sever the relationship between the two people in order to get rid of Zhu Siping's entanglement. At the request of Siping, he had the last one-time relationship with Siping. Long Xiaoyu left her mobile phone in her room when she went out. When he returned to his room, he saw that Zhu Siping had been stabbed several times, so he hurriedly ran away. Upon hearing this, William Hinton carefully inquired about his relationship with Luo Jingjing, Zhu Siping and others. William Hinton learned that Zhu Siping and Long Xiaoyu belonged to the same village, and they grew up together in the troupe. After Long Xiaoyu's mother eloped with others, his father died of illness when he was in high school. It was Siping who paid Long Xiaoyu's study expenses by working in a factory. Until Long Xiaoyu was a sophomore, Siping's mother fell ill, and Long Xiaoyu dropped out of school to help take care of her mother. Later, they came to Xiamen to work, and under the leadership of Zhang Xiong, the foreman of the same village, they met Luo Jingjing by "touching porcelain". Originally, I wished Siping and Long Xiaoyu a planned approach to Luo Jingjing, and then Long Xiaoyu got economic benefits through fake marriage, but Siping didn't expect Long Xiaoyu to really fall in love with Luo Jingjing. William Hinton also learned about the love between Luo Jingjing and Long Xiaoyu. From a deeper conversation, he found that Long Xiaoyu was not sincere and even said that he was a shameless and selfish person.
With the help of Amber and colleague Lim, and collected many clues beneficial to Long Xiaoyu's case. Hinton has been worried that if Long Xiaoyu is really acquitted, it will definitely endanger his feelings with Luo Jingjing, but he still tried to collect evidence for Long Xiaoyu and didn't forget the lawyer's duties because of an affair. Because of the problems in Zhang Xiong's project, during his detention, he revealed the story of his murder to Zhu Siping to his cellmates, which was reflected by his cellmates to the Public Security Bureau and became the best evidence to defend William Hinton. After everyone's efforts, Long Xiaoyu was finally acquitted. Because Luo Jingjing and William Hinton were together, it gave Long Xiaoyu a big blow. William Hinton doesn't want Luo Jingjing to fall in love with himself for helping Long Xiaoyu defend successfully. He respects Jingjing's choice. Luo Jingjing chose to return to Xiamen with Long Xiaoyu, and William Hinton was very sad about it. And Long Xiaoyu narrow psychology also let him hate William Hinton.
Zhang Xiong's wife found William Hinton in Beijing Office. At her strong request, William Hinton carefully read the materials she prepared. Immediately, he found that there were still some unknowns in the case, so he decided to take over Zhang Xiong's case and defend it. William Hinton met Zhang Xiong at the detention center in Xiamen, and Zhang Xiong also explained his relationship with Zhu Siping and Long Xiaoyu. He admitted that he stabbed Zhu Siping three times with a fruit knife in a hurry, but they were not in the key position. Hinton is obviously aware of the problem of this case. The most deadly thing to Zhu Siping is the fourth knife. Since Zhang Xiong is not the perpetrator, the possibility of Long Xiaoyu committing a crime is not ruled out. Besides, so far, the murder weapon and whereabouts of the bank card that Long Xiaoyu gave Zhu Siping have not been found. He informed Yao Dawei of the situation and asked to re-investigate the case.
Long Xiaoyu successfully became the general manager of the company through financing in Xiamen at this time. He tried his best to bid farewell to poverty. He thinks he can bring happiness to Luo Jingjing with money. He was going to buy off Lin and William Hinton's office at a price of 654.38 million yuan to stop William Hinton from investigating himself, but Lin told William Hinton about it, which made William Hinton realize that Long Xiaoyu must have something to do with the case. Long Xiaoyu drove a luxury car with Luo Jingjing to his hometown and Siping's hometown, visited Siping's parents and clarified his innocence to the villagers, but Siping's cousin Zhu Qigui always turned a deaf ear to his words. Yao Dawei found a fruit knife as a murder weapon on the roof of Luo's old house at this time, and found Long Xiaoyu's fingerprints on it, and immediately ordered the arrest of Long Xiaoyu.
Long Xiaoyu was escorted to a police car by a sudden police investigator in his hometown, which made Luo Jingjing suffer a great blow. When Long Xiaoyu was taken away, William Hinton came to Jingjing. With his sincere words and encouragement, Jingjing was no longer sad. Siping's mother suddenly became ill at this time and died of a serious illness after being sent to the hospital. I hope Qigui will surprise William Hinton and Luo Jingjing by telling them the truth before they leave. It turned out that before the incident, Zhu Qigui was in debt because of gambling and was preparing to go to Siping's room to ask her for help. He heard Long Xiaoyu talking to Zhu Siping outside the door. Long Xiaoyu left Qigui to find Siping. While speaking, Zhang Xiong came to Siping's room, but Qigui hid under the bed. Siping was still awake after being stabbed three times. Qigui insisted on taking her to the hospital, but she waited for Long Xiaoyu to come back. Long Xiaoyu came back to get his mobile phone, holding him flat if he still loves himself. After getting the negative answer, she ended her life with a fruit knife. Long Xiaoyu saw it, picked up a fruit knife and ran away in a hurry. These seven expensive things are all in the eye. Subsequently, Qi Gui hurriedly picked up the bank card on the ground and hurried out of the construction site. Zhu Qigui told Jingjing that Siping and Long Xiaoyu were going to cheat Luo Jingjing out of money, which made Jingjing feel sad.
Long Xiaoyu was released again, and Jingjing no longer had anything to do with him. When William Hinton returned to Beijing, she accidentally saw Jingjing wearing a wedding dress as a model in a shopping mall. The two men looked at each other through the glass window, and their eyes were filled with tears of happiness. Because they know that after experiencing the cruelty of love, what they gain now is the most precious happiness.
