"Yes, those who should come will always come." Meng Yang twisted the cigarette butt hard, stared at me, and said word by word: "Have you ever thought about the consequences? If things get bigger, Lao Wang can't protect you."
"It won't be a loss of job."
"Yes, you won't lose your job. You will still be Leping's lawyer, but what if you become famous in the circle? Who can still sue you?"
""
"I know you want to be a good person, and I am willing to be a good person. I also know that you have always adhered to the oath you took when you were a lawyer, but Chen Mo" Meng Yang called me and looked straight at me: "A lawyer who can't take the case, tell me how you should live? This is Beijing, not your Benxi! How can you support your and Tong Xue's rent, and how can you support your life?"
"I know we are not students anymore, and that so-called passion should cool down." He smiled and answered.
Meng Yang is talking about the facts. Lawyers who cannot take on the case are like selling a sale, and they cannot make much money. But he doesn’t know what happened to me and Tong Xue. I just need to support myself in Beijing. As for life, I have a luxury.
The blood should be cold.
I deeply understood this truth when I came to Beijing for an internship until I took over the first case. Suppose that Tong Xue is still with me now, and when I face Li Zheng's case, I will still be in charge, but I will never let myself get so deep as I am now. At least I will not go to Sun Linhai, nor will I record it illegally.
Only by protecting ourselves can we protect our work and let us survive in Beijing.
But now I don’t have Tong Xue, right?
Without her, I would have no worries and no weaknesses. I simply let the blood that had long been abandoned in the depths of my soul grow wildly. When it fills my body, I can only do things based on my heart.
Benxin said, you have to take care of Li Zheng's case, so I have to take care of it; Benxin said, you have to punish Sun Linhai, even if you use any means, so I used non-law but absolutely violated the rules, and even some dirty means.
After just talking to Li Zheng, Benxin told me again that you can't see the disappointment of that young man, so I came to Meng Yang.
This is a gamble, and the bet is my future lawyer career and even the foundation for my survival in Beijing!
"Mental illness."
"Just think I'm a mental illness," Xiaoxiao added a cigarette to herself and said, "I saw Zhang Yao the night before yesterday, the defendant in the lawsuit that made me earn 100,000 yuan. When I saw her, I was very surprised and guilty. I just felt that she shouldn't have the consequences today. I even felt heartbroken when I saw her drinking with a man."
"What does it have to do with you?" Meng Yang smiled disdainfully and patted my shoulder: "Mo'er, I see that you are always used to imposing other people's lives on yourself. What does it have to do with you when they live well or badly?"
"At least, it's my responsibility to become like this today. She wouldn't have lost so much if it weren't for my slogans."
"Are you wrong to live in Beijing for the sake of life, to make money, and to live better?" Meng Yang saw that I was about to speak, waved his hand, interrupted me, and continued, "I told you at that case at that time that if she had not cheated or betrayed the marriage, why would that man divorce her? Isn't she responsible for the consequences she has today? Isn't she the blame for taking a step back and saying that the things she lost were the result of the judge's judgment. What does it have to do with you? You are just a small lawyer."
"Haha, you will comfort people."
"It's not to comfort you, but it's the case. As a human being, you can't think too much, especially in Beijing, a city that can swallow us up. If you think too much, you will walk slowly. If you walk slowly, you will not be far from being driven away by it."
He was right, if you want to survive in Beijing, you should assume that.
But I can't do it. Whenever I think of her shaking away figure, my heart can't help but feel pain. When I see Li Zheng's face that should have been full of despair, it will always be like stabbing a knife as a lawyer. I should be rational and even less humane, because the law is cold and it will not sympathize with anyone.
But I am a human being, a living person.
Just as I told Li Zheng, if Li's mother's injuries were not so serious, I would never get involved. Unfortunately, there is no if in the world. When all this is in front of me, I can't be indifferent. Because I have been indifferent and have earned money that I shouldn't have been given without conscience. I know that feeling and know what it will bring to the parties involved.
"Brother, I know you are doing it for me, but listen to me for this matter." He grinned, "Just treat me as a willful one time. You don't want to get involved, right?"
"Go to your uncle."
Meng Yang cursed and sighed: "If you really think it's worth doing this, just let Li Zheng contact me."
"There are many good people and bad people in the world, including numbness, indifference, and warmth. But what I want to tell you is that these things are not something that we wander outside can play with. We should keep our attitude when we are doing things and not breaking the law."
"Maybe, this time you just think I am atonement." He shook his head helplessly: "Even if you are stupid, you will only be stupid this time."
"I know you very much. If there are still cases like this, you will still be determined."
"Ha God knows."
After returning to the office area with Meng Yang, I first gave him all the information about Li Zheng's case to see what was missing, and then used WeChat to give Li Zheng his contact information. Now, the attorney for this case has become Meng Yang, and I will attend the lawsuit as a witness.
Suppose that in the end, Li Zheng got the fairness he deserved, and Sun Linhai was also punished as he deserved, and the law safeguarded justice and justice, and nothing has to do with me.
But I will still be sincerely happy and contented.
Meng Yang said that people like us who are wandering outside have no time to be good people, let alone bad people, and do not have too much pity to care about who is in life. I agree with it, but I can’t do it.
Hot days should not disappear too early.
Life makes us understand what reality is, but when we see through life, we are still happy and live according to our true hearts. Isn’t it a gesture?
