Chapter 16 I am a witness

Zhu Shan was still working overtime the day before the holiday. She was hungover last night and didn't sleep well, so she fell asleep instantly.

When she woke up again, what came into her eyes was the man's back.

He sat there, flipping through the papers with one hand and typing on the keyboard with the other.

Isn't today a holiday?

Zhu Shan thought he was just dealing with some urgent matters.

Unexpectedly, his holiday was no different from his working day.

Is the lawyer profession so hard and demanding?

Zhu Shan turned to look out the window. It was already dark, and drizzle was still falling. The glass was covered with water droplets, and she could faintly see the scattered wall lamps in the small garden downstairs.

She sat up slowly, the blanket sliding down to her waist.

Her eyes returned to Ling Xiao's back.

There were no lights on in the room, except for a unique metal eye protection lamp on the desk.

Ling Xiao sat upright, his shadow imprinted on the bookshelf next to him.

That shadow also has a nice and clear profile.

Zhu Shan only had the concept of Ling Xiao being good-looking after junior high school.

Before junior high school, the person with the best grades in the class would be the best-looking person in the class as long as he was dressed cleanly and had fresh facial features.

After junior high school, Ling Xiao came to class to see Zhu Shan. Zhu Shan had forgotten what happened, but after that, Zhu Shan became Ling Xiao's exclusive love letter delivery person.

At the beginning, there were few love letters. Zhu Shan just felt that those seniors didn't have good taste and would actually be infatuated with Ling Xiao.

Later, more and more seniors came to her to deliver love letters and gifts, and even brought her some snacks and sodas.

Only at this time did Zhu Shan realize Ling Xiao's appearance.

However, Ling Xiao's appearance is not her aesthetic point.

When he's not smiling, his eyebrows are fierce, and when he's smiling, he's scornful.

Growing up, light would bully others.

In comparison, Zhu Shan prefers Ling Xiao's good friend, senior Mu Yu.

Thinking of Senior Mu Yu, the corners of Zhu Shan's mouth turned up, and she took out her phone, habitually checking to see if there were any unread messages.

Ling’s mother: [Shanshan, let’s see which one you like? 】

Below are several pictures of bracelets. The bracelets are made of special-shaped beads with contrasting colors and have a very ethnic style.

Zhu Shan chose the bracelet in the second picture and thanked her.

Returning to the WeChat information homepage, the number of messages on Ling Yue's avatar is a bit exaggerated.

She clicked on it and saw various emoticons of kneeling down and worshiping.

Zhu Shan was still angry and did not reply to him.

She clicked into the work group again. Qu Lianjie sent a video link an hour ago.

Zhu Shan frowned, because the man on the cover of the video was the righteous man who beat up the obscene man in the mall yesterday.

Zhu Shan clicked on the link.

In the video, Zhengyi Man stood in front of a white wall, holding up his ID card, and said calmly and calmly, "My name is Yang Maoxue, I am 32 years old, and I currently work as a department manager in the cleaning department of a private enterprise. My wife and I were in Yu yesterday In Area B on the first floor of Fengtian Street, I met a man molesting a little girl. Out of justice, I stepped forward to stop him and beat the man."

At this point, Yang Maoxue took a deep breath and continued, "At present, he has applied for an injury assessment and said he would sue me. Because there was a problem with the shopping mall surveillance that day, there was no way to prove that I acted bravely, so... the police told me, I may be prosecuted. Here, I hope that the little girl who was bullied that day, or the kind-hearted person who witnessed the incident from beginning to end, can help me testify."

Finally, he bowed deeply and sincerely, "Thank you."

The video ended here. Zhu Shan pulled down her finger and clicked on the comment area.

Someone pointed out a video link to another person in the comments section.

After clicking on it, it was the video of that wretched man.

He was lying on the hospital bed, his face was wrapped in medical bandages, swollen like a pig's head, and his voice was thin, "I don't know him, and I didn't molest any women. I was shopping, and he suddenly rushed up and beat me. He was like a madman. I The bridge of my nose was broken and my eye membranes were bleeding. The doctor said that I would need several surgeries..."

Zhu Shan didn't finish reading it, and felt that his behavior of selling out misery was particularly hypocritical and disgusting.

She reopened the comment section, and public opinion was roughly divided into two groups.

One group believes that if the beating is good, it should be beaten to death, and it is better to crack the hands; the other group believes that the beating should be due to personal vendetta, and acting bravely should be an excuse.

Zhu Shan witnessed the whole incident, and Yang Maoxue acted bravely.

At best...it's a bit heavy-handed.

However, I remembered that the wretched man was caught on the spot by the little girl and beat him up. He didn't restrain himself at all and ran to another place to continue this behavior.

He should be a habitual offender.

Really disgusting.

Thinking of this, Zhu Shan only felt that Yang Maoxue had taken it lightly.

Zhu Shan stood up quickly, burning with justice, "I'm going to fuck you, you're a scumbag, I'm going to expose you."

These words shocked Ling Xiao.

He tilted his head slightly, "Are you dreaming?"

"No." Zhu Shan took two steps over, holding up the phone and showing it to Ling Xiao.

After reading it, Ling Xiao was calm and composed, "Then what? What are you going to do?"

"My video captured that lewd man's behavior. I'll post it online."

Ling Xiao leaned back in his chair, "First, this news has already become a hot topic and has a huge amount of discussion. If you post it, no one may notice it at all. Second, your purpose should not be to further arouse heated discussions. It’s about helping people prove that things happen for a reason.”

Zhu Shan curled her lips and her big eyes flashed, "Then what should I do?"

Ling Xiao raised his head and met Zhu Shan's slightly approaching face.

She half-bent, holding the desk with her right hand, and holding the mobile phone in front of her chest with her left hand.

This was how she showed him the news on her phone just now, and there was nothing wrong with her actions.

But Ling Xiao felt that the light was shining from the side, reflecting her fair and flawless skin.

Her eyelashes are long, thick and curled.

On the round cheeks, the small mouth is slightly open, looking naturally rosy.

Ling Xiao thought of strawberries.

Strawberries are one of the few fruits he likes.

Seeing him in a daze, Zhu Shan tilted her head and moved closer, "Huh?"

Ling Xiao came back to her senses, raised her eyebrows slightly, raised her right index finger to touch her forehead, and pushed it away.

Zhu Shan rubbed her forehead with her little hands. In fact, she didn't feel any pain, she just got poked, so she just rubbed it.

Ling Xiao frowned slightly because of her actions, but he said calmly, "You are a witness. If you have anything to do, please contact the police."

Zhu Shan frowned and bit her lip, thinking carefully about his words, "I am a witness..."

This is indeed the case. If she posts a video online, it may not be seen by the public. Even if it is seen, it will not be notarized.

She should serve as a witness, go to the public security organ, hand over the video to the police, and explain the truth.

Zhu Shan pursed her lips, and when she lowered her eyes, she met Ling Xiao's gaze.

So he smiled and said with crooked eyes, "Thank you."

After thanking her, Zhu Shan walked directly to the door.

"where did you go?"

Zhu Shan turned around and snapped her fingers, "Police station."

"Today is a holiday." Ling Xiao raised his finger and pointed at the dial on his wrist, reminding him, "And it's past seven o'clock in the evening."

"Then I have to go too."

"?"

Zhu Shan saw him frowning and Nuo Nuo said, "Although I don't know if it will be useful to go now, I know that the public opinion is terrible."

For those who have been wronged, every second is torture.

Since she has the ability to help people clarify in advance, why not do it?

Zhu Shan went back to her room to change clothes. She wore a pair of straight jeans and a burgundy drawstring short sweater.

After cleaning up, she opened the door and saw Ling Xiao also changed his clothes and stood there.

For a moment, Zhu Shan wondered if he was going to the police station with her.

But what she said was, "Are you going out for dinner?"

Ling Xiao looked at Zhu Shan with a world-weary face, "Are you leaving or not?"

? ? ?

In half a second, Zhu Shan reacted and jumped over, "Let's go, let's go now."

After getting in the car, Ling Xiao hung up a Bluetooth headset, "Officer Song... It's what I told you on WeChat just now... Well... I'll be there in about half an hour... Okay... I'm sorry to bother you. Already..."

In fact, from his words, Zhu Shan already knew that Ling Xiao was solving the matter.

It's much more effective than her running around like a headless fly.

Zhu Shan pursed her lips, "Ling Xiao, actually we can get along well."

Ling Xiao turned the steering wheel calmly and said in a calm tone, "Is it me who gets angry every time?"

Hearing this, Zhu Shan rolled her eyes.

Half an hour later, the vehicle stopped outside the police station.

The two entered the police station one after another.

Because it is a holiday, this place is much cleaner than the last time Zhu Shan came here.

Officer Song walked out, "Ling Lu."

It turned out to be this police officer Song whom she had met before. Zhu Shan still remembered the awkward embarrassment he felt when he called her 'brother and sister' last time.

Ling Xiao said politely, "Officer Song, I would like to trouble you to make a trip so late. It will delay your vacation."

"Where are you?" Officer Song looked at Zhu Shan and smiled at Zhu Shan, "Brother and sister, you are here too."

Brothers and sisters!

Brothers and sisters! !

Siblings again! ! !

Zhu Shan opened her mouth and smiled awkwardly.

She was suddenly pulled by Ling Xiao's arm and pushed forward, "She has the video."

Officer Song approached in a friendly manner, "Brother and sister, take it out and let me see."

Zhu Shan twitched the corners of her mouth, but still didn't say anything, completely numb to the word 'brother and sister'.

However, she unequivocally turned on the video on her phone.

Before the release was over, someone hurried into the police station.

It's that righteous man, Yang Maoxue.

Officer Song immediately waved, "Just in time, your witness is here."

In the final operation, the video was copied, a few more questions were asked, and signatures were signed before it was finished.

Standing in the lobby of the police station, Yang Maoxue bowed three times to Zhu Shan, but he couldn't stop him.

"Thank you so much."

"If I didn't have you to testify for me, I'd probably have to face a lawsuit."

"Maybe he will be sentenced."

"Thank you very much. I don't know how to repay you. If you need any help, just tell me and I will definitely repay you."

Zhu Shan hurriedly waved her hands, her ears turned red, and she took half a step to Ling Xiao's side, "I don't need to repay you. You acted bravely, and I should do this."

Yang Maoxue took out his mobile phone, "Benefactor, let's add WeChat. If you need help, just ask."

"Just call me Shanshan." Zhu Shan took out her mobile phone and scanned the QR code on his business card.

After adding WeChat, Yang Maoxue sent Zhu Shan to the car again and thanked her through the car window for a while.

After the vehicle started, Zhu Shan could still see Yang Maoxue in the rearview mirror, standing on the roadside and waving to her.

She pursed her lips and smiled, rubbing her hot cheeks with her hands, feeling extremely shy.

Ling Xiao chuckled, "Are you so happy?"

"That is."

It is a pleasure to be able to help people and prove their righteousness.

Zhu Shan put her hands on her chest, "Ling Xiao, as a lawyer, don't you often help people seek justice? Don't you feel like this?"

"Oh." He glanced at Zhu Shan and said in a drawl, "No."

Zhu Shan, "..."

Because it was a little late, Ling Xiao and Zhu Shan had dinner directly outside.

After dinner, when I went to the parking lot to pick up my car, I passed a fruit shop.

Ling Xiao stared at the bright red and bright strawberries illuminated by the light, and stopped.

Zhu Shan stepped back and gathered up the large men's jacket, "What's wrong?"

Ling Xiao raised his eyelids and asked considerately, "Want to eat strawberries?"

Zhu Shan was very full just now, so she shook her head.

The next second, Ling Xiao walked towards the fruit shop with long legs, without even considering her opinion, "I'll eat it."

Zhu Shan rolled her eyes.

Since you have already made up your mind, why ask her if she wants to eat?

So annoying.

Back in the car, the box of strawberries naturally landed on Zhu Shan's lap.

One by one, they were swaying around wearing little lacy green hats, and they looked quite delicious.

Zhu Shan twisted one and stuffed it into her mouth. The sweet juice was all between her teeth, so she said "Hmm~" in enjoyment.

"Not washed."

Zhu Shan didn't mind and said nonsense, "It's not unclean, you won't get sick after eating it!"

At the same time, she had reached out her little hand and twisted another one, ready to stuff it into her mouth.

"Zhu Shanshan." Ling Xiao braked lightly, looking at the red light, and said in a slow tone, as if he had a deep meaning, "Give me another one to try."

Zhu Shan's little mouth has been opened, just a stone's throw away from the strawberry.

But the movement was so frozen.

Then the strawberry returns to the box.

Zhu Shan bit her lip and looked out the window.

Ling Xiao could see her lips pouting slightly in anger through the car window.

He looked away and stepped on the accelerator.
