I have to thank Alex for successfully reuniting with Si Bo Nian.
He repeated the name of a niche restaurant located in a certain alley across from him. He was afraid that Lu Enxi would not be able to remember it, so he said it very slowly.
Why don't Chinese people lie to Chinese people when they are away from home? Si Baonian is worse than a foreign friend.
A local driver led the way. After several twists and turns, Lu Enxi found the exact location of Si Boyian. It was a Western restaurant decorated in a Baroque style. Fresh green plants were hung on the wall outside the door, and the front wall was covered with vine plants.
Coiled, it looks like a small house growing among huge green plants.
Lu Enxi pushed the door open and found that there were only two guests in the dining hall.
Si Bo Nian sat leisurely in front of the window like a master. On the table covered with white cloth, there was a cup of black tea. He was looking down at his mobile phone, which must be work documents. He looked at it for a while before clicking a few times.
Alex couldn't sit still and looked around, hoping to see Lu Enxi soon.
"land!"
Following the sound of the door opening, he stood up nimbly. From such a close distance, he could clearly see this stunning oriental face.
The last hasty encounter, through repeated beautification in his memories, Lu Enxi was already a fairy-like figure in his heart. Looking at it again today, he realized that his imagination was not as good as a living person in reality.
Lu Enxi was very uncomfortable with Alex's excessive enthusiasm. She didn't even know the young man's name, "Hello, what is his name?"
Alex introduced himself and took the initiative to pull out a chair for her as he spoke. He showed the demeanor of an old-fashioned British gentleman in a very natural and appropriate manner.
It’s not deliberate at all, just like spring breeze turning into rain.
Lu Enxi sat down and put down his bag, "Master Si came to Manchester City to do what he wanted to do. How did it go?"
What she meant was that if he had other arrangements, the time here could be more compact. To make a long story short.
But from Si Boyian's understanding, Lu Enxi was chasing away guests. They had only met for less than a minute, and she no longer wanted to be in the same room with him?
After Si Bo Nian finished approving the documents, he turned his cell phone upside down and cast his sharp eyes like a falcon straight to the pool of soft waves opposite him, "Tell me, the first court hearing."
Regarding these, Lu Enxi has written a document and sent it to his work email, but she has to cooperate with Party A's request. "Although there is evidence to support the several crimes we have charged, the defendant's lawyer insists that they are legal procedures and are normal for the company."
He refused to admit the financial losses. The British judicial institutions also have a trial method of exonerating the guilt..."
Si Bo Nian interrupted her, "With so much evidence in your hand, how can you still give the other party a chance to prove the crime? I doubt your professional ability."
The Chinese they spoke was not slow. It was a great test for Alex, who had limited Chinese proficiency. He could only understand a few words in a sentence, and when it came to legal terms, he looked like a dementia.
I couldn't understand the content, so I had to observe his expressions. It was obvious that Si Baonian was very angry, while Lu Enxi seemed... a little aggrieved.
Is this the reaction that both partners should have?
Lu Enxi took a breath and said calmly, "The sex cannot be determined in the first trial. We are still presenting evidence and preparing for the second trial. In addition, we suspect that the defendant is not the only person involved in the case this time."
Finally hearing what he wanted, Si Bo Nian asked slowly, "What?"
Lu Enxi said, "The defendant is the CFO of the branch. It is true that he has the power, the ability and the authority to transfer funds, but if he wants to keep no trace in the future, he will definitely need a larger successor to operate for him. I suspect he has an accomplice."
If Si Boyian hadn't been so anxious to ask, she wouldn't have expressed her doubts so quickly.
Judging from Si Bo Nian's reaction, he probably agreed with her guess. Lu Enxi continued, "So, we are going to follow the defendant. If he has companions, he will definitely contact him secretly to discuss a solution, or secretly leave the UK. We will not do this in court.
We are forcing him to confess because we are afraid that he will slip out of the UK, and then trying to find someone else will be like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Si Bo Nian picked up the teacup and tasted it carefully, "What do you mean, it seems like you are luring a snake out of its hole?"
Alex was present, and Lu Enxi didn't know his Chinese proficiency, and was worried that he would hear back what he said, which would lead to the leak of secrets. However, considering how cautious Si Baonian was, he would not ask questions in public if he was worried that others would hinder him.
"That's right, since he refuses to admit guilt now and the police have not taken any coercive measures, we can only stop him quietly. He has kilometers of money hidden in his hand and he won't be able to calm down for a few days."
Si Bo Nian played with the water cup, as if he knew everything.
Lu Enxi was not sure about his mentality.
After a moment of silence, he said, "There is someone following him now, a private detective?"
Not everyone is Sherlock Holmes after coming to the UK. Lu Enxi wanted to ask if you have watched too many movies, "He is a member of our team, Minister Du's assistant."
In the past few days of contact, Lu Enxi found that Du Junjie is very good at selecting talents. His secretary Zou Qian is very good at observing people's words, and he can do things neatly and quickly. His assistant Xiao Chang doesn't talk much, is thoughtful, and is very good at secret investigation and tracking.
, is simply a combination of detective and senior assistant.
Si Bo Nian nodded, "If your guess is correct, you should be able to find the abnormality soon. People who do bad things cannot sleep peacefully."
The waiter brought tea, which was again clear Earl Gray black tea, but the tea set was more elegant and elegant, with pure white enamel and exquisite carvings, just like the luxurious palace supplies in Henry's time.
Yes, this is the shop reserved by Si Bo Nian.
“The taste is very good, and it is indeed Mr. Si’s choice.”
Si Bo Nian didn't appreciate her compliment, "What else?"
Lu Enxi moistened her throat and asked puzzledly, "What else does Mr. Si want to know? What I know now, Mr. Si also knows."
She knows everything about her work.
Si Bo Nian tapped his fingers rhythmically on the porcelain. If you listen carefully, you will know how much emotion is contained in the rhythm, "It's okay."
Lu Enxi waited for a long time, thinking that he was going to show off again, but the result was just two words.
Alex had been bored for most of the day and couldn't hold back his anger. "William, Lu, can you speak English? Or can you talk while eating?"
Si Bo Nian's anger did not diminish, but he acquiesced to Alex's proposal.
The chef prepared the appetizers and brought them out one plate after another, as if he was serving a certain crown prince respectfully.
Lu Enxi held the knife and fork, "Young Master Si often comes here?"
Si Bo's food was tasteless, his mouth was tasteless, and his heart was filled with panic. After driving for several hours, he came to Manchester City non-stop just to hear a few words of work report?
Did Lu Enxi have nothing else to talk to him about?
Did she not see what was widely publicized in the news or did she not take it seriously?
"Don't come often."
Every word he spoke was chatty to death. Lu Enxi didn't know whether to answer it or not, so she took a few bites and asked, "When will Mr. Si return to China?"
Very good. Not only do you not care about him, but you also think he is in the way and want to drive him back to the country in one step.
bite.
Si Bo Nian put down his fork, and the silver tableware and porcelain collided with each other with a pleasant crisp sound. "I'm not leaving. Do you have any objections from Lawyer Lu?"
