Ling Xiao was disturbed by the ringtone of her cell phone and recalled.
He glanced at the phone screen twice, walked to the window, and pressed answer.
After a few words of response, Ling Xiao raised objections to the issue of Ren Xingyan's bail, "Mr. Ren, Mr. Ling has already been deeply involved in public opinion due to Zhuo Yue's incident. There is no benefit in releasing him on bail now."
"Okay, then there will be no bail for the time being." After a pause, he said, "Ling Lu, I heard about your relationship with the key witness..."
Ling Xiao naturally knew that he couldn't hide it.
He spoke in a relaxed tone and admitted directly, "Mr. Ren, she is my wife, a foreign national. She just returned to China not long ago and has nothing to do with this matter."
"..."
Ling Xiao reminded, "Based on the current evidence, you don't need to worry too much about Master Ling. On the contrary, public opinion has a great influence on the group."
Yusen Building.42nd floor.Zero Degree Law Firm.Ling Xiao flipped through the file in his hand, put his cell phone on speakerphone and placed it on the right side of the desk.Li Shang walked in with the documents and sat on the chair opposite Ling Xiao, very sensible and silent.On the other side of the phone was an adult male's voice, "She didn't go home directly from get off work today. She went to buy a car. After buying the car, she went to the vegetable market...""Wait a minute." Ling Xiao said, looking from the file to the phone screen, "She doesn't even have a domestic driver's license, so what kind of car can she buy?""...battery car."Ling Xiao's eyebrows skipped a beat, "Did you buy a helmet?""Bought."Ling Xiao looked away and said calmly, "You continue.""I went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and then went home and didn't come out again."Ling Xiao explained a few more words a
Today is Zhu Shan's birthday after all, and Ling Xiao gets off work on time.Although she ignored him, he still wanted to look at her.Ling Xiao parked the car on the roadside of the community and watched her swinging into the community on a small pink battery car.He didn't leave immediately, but took out his laptop to handle official business.The sky gradually darkened, and a crescent moon rose.The street lights are brighter than it, attracting insects flying around randomly.Ling Xiao closed the computer, rubbed his eyebrows, and then stared sideways at the courier at the door of the community.Not long after, Zhu Shan trotted out.She wore a white shirt with a baby collar on the upper body, a diamond knitted vest on the upper body, light blue nine-point jeans on the lower body, and checkerboard canvas shoes on the feet.She tied her hair into a high ponytail and swung her hair around while running. She looked in good
Zhu Shan felt her earlobe being gently pulled.She turned her head, and Ling Xiao's hand was in front of her eyes like a fist.The joints of his fingers are clear, and there are slightly raised tendons on the back of his hands.Zhu Shan swallowed a sip of saliva, rubbed it into his arms again, her tone trembled slightly, "Ling Xiao~"She wants to say that force cannot solve the problem.She was so immersed in the guilt that she lost her temper that she forgot that this person would never hit her.Therefore, when Ling Xiao's fingers suddenly opened, the white gold thin bracelet hung down and swung around, and the diamonds folded into brilliant colors, the surprise in Zhu Shan's eyes was real.Ling Xiao saw her expression in his eyes, and gently pinched her soft flesh with his hand on her waist, "You were not surprised at all just now, but now you are surprised?"Zhu Shan, "..."The mentality is different, and the attitude a
The topic of fat makes Zhu Shan feel irritable.She wasn't called fat for nothing, but she didn't care before and thought it was a complimentary adjective.Now that she heard it from Ling Xiao, she felt that it had become a derogatory adjective for no reason, which made her particularly annoyed.Zhu Shan lowered her eyes and said in a thin voice, "Then I won't eat it.""Yeah." Ling Xiao didn't refute and stood up, "Then I'll accept it."Zhu Shan, "???"Zhu Shan watched him close the cake box, stood up with a wrinkled face, walked to the shoe cabinet, picked up the bouquet, and then walked to the room.Ling Xiao lowered his head and tied the bow on the cake box, calling out, "Shanshan."Zhu Shan turned around and said angrily, "What are you doing?"Ling Xiao raised his eyes, with unknown emotions in his eyes, "Want to go back to the room?""???" Zhu Shan looked at her phone. It was not yet nine o'clock, which was a bi
Zhu Shan's little hand was wrapped in Ling Xiao's palm, leaving only a few white and tender fingertips.All actions of her fingertips are passive.She was a little confused and a little scared, but in the end she followed Ling Xiao and fell together.****Zhu Shan was in a daze when she heard soft music. Before she could figure out where it was coming from, a big hand covered her ears.Then, she was hugged tightly by the waist, and her back was pressed against the hot and hard skin.Then, her broad neckline was picked up by fingers and pulled down her arms, and wet kisses fell on her smooth shoulders and back one after another.Zhu Shan moved her shoulders, said softly "Yeah", and then said hoarsely, "No..."The troublemaker stopped, tightened his arms, and breathed heavily into her shoulder.The breath that swept over her ears was hot, and the hair that swept over her neck was soft and different from her own. Zhu Shan gra
Breakfast is the leftover birthday cake from last night.Zhu Shan's mobile phone was placed in the middle of the table, with the movie theater page on it. She sipped the sweet cream and looked at Ling Xiao several times with her big eyes blinking.Finally, Ling Xiao put down his phone, glanced at it, and understood, "I can get off work on time today, do you have any plans tonight?"Zhu Shan rolled her eyes, "No.""Then I'll treat you to a movie?"The corners of Zhu Shan's mouth turned up, "Okay."With her look like this, Ling Xiao couldn't help but want to tease her.He folded his elbows on the table, leaned closer, and said loudly, "Midnight, night, field!"Zhu Shan paused and looked up at Ling Xiao with some anger.Ling Xiao leaned back and shrugged very ruthlessly, "Let's go after dinner. Isn't it a midnight show if it's close to midnight?"This sounds okay at first glance.But Zhu Shan was not stupid. She k
Over the weekend, Zhu Shan and Ling Xiao bought some things and went to Wu Jing's house to thank her for taking in the poor people who had run away from home a few days ago.After moving all her things home, Zhu Shan officially moved into the master bedroom.Even though it was the weekend, Ling Xiao was still very busy, sitting at his desk all afternoon.Zhu Shan was idle, pouring him a cup of coffee and cutting some fruit for him.The beautiful image did not last long. In the warm autumn sun, she lay on the massage chair, blinked her eyes, and soon fell asleep.She vaguely heard Ling Xiao talking on the phone, his voice a little deep, like he was angry, but not completely angry.Anyway, not too happy.Zhu Shan opened her eyelids and tucked the blanket around her body.After Ling Xiao hung up the phone, Zhu Shan asked, "What's wrong with Sister Qiwen?""You don't understand." Ling Xiao said calmly, burying his head in typi
The National Day holiday lasts for seven days in total.Because Ling Yue was coming back, Ling Xiao planned to take Zhu Shan home.October 1st, seven o'clock in the morning.Zhu Shan stayed up all night and was sleeping soundly now. Suddenly she felt like she was being hugged whole, and there was a hot breath all over her body.Very uncomfortable.But she was sleepy and didn't open her eyes.Ling Xiao took a deep breath, and his voice was hoarse as if he had just woken up, "Shanshan, get up and run."Zhu Shan didn't move.Ling Xiao tightened his arms, leaned into her ear and spoke again.This time, after he finished speaking, he kissed the shell of her ear, then along the back of her ear, to the back of her neck, and then to the back of her shoulders...No matter how sleepy Zhu Shan was, she could not ignore this numbing feeling. And she had a feeling that if she continued to pretend to be dead, Ling Xiao would never
5. Give upAfter Ling Xiao graduated, he partnered with Li Shang to establish a small law firm.He has also been working with Han Xiaoli to search for evidence.But their investigation was like walking into a swamp.The more you try to clear the swamp in front of you, the deeper you sink.Han Xiao, "I didn't expect that Ren Xianli actually has so many official connections. These people are all grasshoppers on a rope. We are definitely not enough."Of course Ling Xiao understood that with all their evidence, they would be wiped out by the officials before they could convict Ren Xianli.Things have reached a point of no return.When Ling Xiao returned to the company, he passed by Doreen's workstation.He turned back and said, "I'm going on annual leave in September. Please help me book a ticket to SJP on September 8th."Doreen, "Okay, Linglu."Doreen had just graduated at this time and was not as smooth as she wa
3. FrustrationNo one will have smooth sailing.No matter how good you are, you won't.When Ling Xiao was in his senior year, he entered a law firm as an intern. He had a wild and unruly temperament, and he would not restrain his sharp edges.If he stood in a high place like this, he would definitely be praised and admired by others, but now he is just an intern, and there is no doubt that he is not likeable at all.Including the middle-aged lawyer who took him.Later, in a case, the middle-aged lawyer got angry at Ling Xiao for no reason because of his own mistakes and stopped caring about him.As an intern, being isolated by your master is equivalent to being isolated by the entire company.At that time, Ling Xiao doubted himself for the first time.I suspected that I had chosen the wrong path.He also had no energy when Han Xiao asked him out.Han Xiao looked at him several times and closed the document, "Li
1.LeaveThe day Zhu Shan left was Wednesday, with a flight at 9 a.m.Ling Xiao ended his summer part-time job at a law firm early, and Yu He arrived at 5:30 in the morning.In late August, during the scorching heat, Ling Xiao ate a bowl of noodles at the airport and his T-shirt got wet.After eating, he kept waiting.It was almost eight o'clock when Ling Yue and Zhu Shan arrived.The two of them stood in front of a bright electronic billboard to say goodbye.Zhu Shan carried a canvas schoolbag on her shoulders that day, holding the strap tightly with both hands, lowering her head and crying.Ling Yue hugged her and said with a nasal voice, "Page, don't cry, it's okay.""I am afraid."Zhu Shan struggled to say three words, unable to hold back her sobs, which attracted the attention of others.But at the airport, there were too many farewells.People only glanced at the two young children briefly before hea
Zhu Shan's heart trembled violently, and then her lips trembled.When she came back to her senses, there was no sound of wind chimes, only the sound of beautiful music.In front of her was Ling Xiao's proud smiling face.He leaned forward slightly, the strands of hair on his forehead were blown away, and his posture was not serious at all, but even a little casual.But Zhu Shan knew that Ling Xiao never spoke empty words.Therefore, even though he said "Okay" so calmly, she would really think that way.Zhu Shan's mind was a little confused, her fingers tightened on the scarf on her shoulders, and her big eyes blinked twice, "What?"The corners of Ling Xiao's mouth curled up nicely, and he stretched out his right arm. Then the music stopped and a bouquet of flowers appeared in his palm.When he led Zhu Shan towards the scene, Zhu Shan felt as if she was in a dream and felt dizzy.When she stood still, Zhu Shan felt the hot
Shu Qiwen's farewell ceremony took place on a sunny afternoon in late May.That day, Zhu Shan wore a cotton matcha green dress with thin lace of the same color on the neckline.She is not a person who likes to wear skirts, but the farewell invitation said, "Please wear your most beautiful skirt."Zhu Shan did not wear the most beautiful dress, she wore the most modest dress.However, she still felt restless because of the small lace on the collar.When she arrived at the scene, Zhu Shan realized that she had been worrying too much.On the lawn, there are girls wearing bright floral skirts and even suspender skirts. No matter the style or color, there are no taboos.Moreover, no one showed sad emotions on their faces, everyone was laughing and chatting, it was more like a gathering of friends.Ling Xiao took Zhu Shan to greet Shu Qiwen's family and met Shu Qiwen's parents and sister.Shu Qiwen's mother looks very young, wit
Zhu Shan ran towards Ling Xiao's back. Out of urgency, she exhaled a stream of white mist, letting the cold wind invade her mouth and making her tongue numb from the cold.Ling Xiao heard footsteps and knew it was her.He stopped to calm down and did not turn around.Then, Zhu Shan hugged Ling Xiao from behind.Ling Xiao took a deep breath, turned around, hugged Zhu Shan back, and said softly, "What are you doing here? Go back quickly."Zhu Shan shook her head, she wanted to accompany him.Ling Xiao looked at the street lamp, exhaled a cloud of white mist, then lowered his head and pressed his lips against her ear, "Shanshan, can you do me a favor?"Zhu Shan nodded.Ling Xiao, "I said something harsh just now. You should go back and coax her.""But you also have to coax.""I have been coaxed now. You have coaxed me since I was a child." Ling Xiao pushed Zhu Shan away and tapped her cheek with his fingertips, "Shansha
After entering the bathroom, Ling Xiao first took off Zhu Shan's clothes and carefully inspected her whole body.Zhu Shan's face was a little red, her eyes wandering, "I'm not injured.""How are you feeling? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"Zhu Shan shook her head, "No."When facing Ren Xingxian alone, she was indeed afraid of being helpless and hopeless, but when Ling Xiao appeared and hugged her, those feelings completely dissipated.Later, during the dozen or so hours that Zhu Shan was in the police station, the police comrades, prosecutor Su, Li Shang, etc., everyone cared about and comforted her, and took the case seriously and cautiously.She knew that the reason why she was able to clear away the suspicion so quickly was the result of various departments rushing back from their warm homes and staying up late.How is she still uncomfortable?She will not ignore the kindness and tenderness of the world because of people like
At that time, Zhu Shan didn't know Ling Xiao's inner struggle. She only felt that his words could heal all the hardships in the world for her.He was the only one she could hold on to in the darkness.So, she grabbed his clothes, and although her tone was frustrated, she was eager to tell the horrors she faced alone, "When I... saw that explosive, I thought I would die, I would die... So, Why should Ren Xianli get away with it? He killed my parents without being punished, why? I...I want revenge...I'm sorry Ling Xiao, I...I thought that way..."Just like he said, she became a different person at that time, and now she feels terrible when she thinks about it.Ling Xiao hugged Zhu Shan tightly, feeling her breathing, panting, and sobbing.Zhu Shan, "But... when I raised the knife, I saw a little refraction..."Ling Xiao paused, and there was a sudden fluctuation in his heart, "What?"Zhu Shan pushed Ling Xiao, raised her head from his a
Zhu Sha looked at the knife in her hand in horror, but couldn't break free, so she could only stare at Ren Xingxian, "What did you say?""My father killed your parents, and you killed me." Ren Xingxian looked at Zhu Shan, with a faint smile on his lips, "Avenge your parents."Zhu Shan shook her head, "You are crazy.""Isn't this a matter of course?" Ren Xingxuan, "Don't you want to avenge your parents?"of course yes.But Ren Xianli has been arrested and will be tried, a fair trial.And her revenge will not be on Ren Xingxian.Ren Xingxuan purred, "You know? My father doesn't remember what he did to your parents at all. He has done so many such things that he doesn't even remember. He won't do anything to your parents, or If you feel any guilt, he won't even feel that he did something wrong. He will only feel...why was he so careless and got caught?"Zhu Shan couldn't understand and still shook her head."Don't you hate me
