After coming out of KM International, Lu Enxi sat in the car blankly.
She rolled down the car window and let in the cool early summer breeze, ruffling her long hair on her forehead.
If she had not fallen in love with him and insisted on marrying him, would her life have turned out differently?
But she loved him at the beginning and tried her best to look at him one more time. Even though she was burdened with the identity of his nominal wife, she was reluctant to let him go. If it hadn't been for those things, she might have been entangled with him until she grew old.
Buzzing, Lu Enxi was interrupted by a phone call to reminisce.
She wiped her blurred vision, her hands wet with tears, "Meng Yao?"
"Sister Lu, the court starts at one o'clock, why haven't you arrived at the court yet?"
Lu Enxi slapped her forehead in annoyance. It was all because of Si Bo Nian's nervousness that she actually forgot about the trial, "I'll go over now."
The case is not complicated either. It is an appeal for a victim of school violence and the final hearing will be held today.
The trial ended at five o'clock.
The defense lawyer used the Minors Protection Act to try to help the client get out of guilt. Lu Enxi brought out 20 cases to testify. In the end, the judge sentenced him to ten years in prison and suspended one year.
"Sister Lu, I have inquired. The perpetrator has a terrible background. You have to be careful, they might want to hurt you." Zhang Mengyao reminded her uneasily.
Lawyers are actually considered a high-risk industry. Not only are they scolded for "making money without conscience," but they also face the risk of their lives being threatened by others.
"It's not my first day as a lawyer, so what should I be afraid of? If you win the lawsuit, go to Lawyer Zhang and ask for the bonus."
Zhang Mengyao had no joy of victory at all, "Master, you'd better be careful. The news said that a client was dissatisfied with the lawyer's defense and poured gasoline on the lawyer's house and burned it down. All three members of the family died. I saw that the defendant's family members were not satisfied with the lawyer's defense.
Good stubble."
"I'm not a good person either."
Lu Enxi twitched her lips.
…
She was so tired this day.
In the past, she had never been so tired after fighting a lawsuit for several days and checking information all night long. However, after just one hour with Si Baonian, she was exhausted physically and mentally.
Standing under the shower head, with warm water covering her body, she closed her eyes and thought of Si Bo Nian's angry face.
【I really regret not killing you.】
Did he know that she also wondered many times why she couldn't kill him cruelly?
Lu Enxi's eyes were sore, and hot liquid flowed out and mixed with the warm water. When the water flowed through his neck, the place where he pinched the purple mark was still aching.
Turning off the water lotus, wrapping herself in a bath towel, Lu Enxi pulled on her slippers and went out.
As soon as the door covered with water vapor was opened, hot air suddenly spurted in, and the firelight quickly exploded in Lu Enxi's pupils, and as far as his eyes could see, there was a red fire.
The wooden wall cabinet burned, and the fire spread, scorching the curtains and fabric sofas, and thick black smoke engulfed the small living room.
She didn't know where the fire came from. The whole house was like a lit torch. Lu Enxi's mind was racing. She hadn't turned on the fire to cook at home for two days. It was probably because the gas valve was not turned off.
Even though she ordered herself to calm down and save herself, Lu Enxi still stood up with fear. She wanted to shout something, but she opened her mouth and took a puff of cigarette. She staggered out and ran out. When she opened the door, she found that the lock was blocked.
Lu Enxi banged on the door, but there was no answer from the outside. Zhang Mengyao's words in the afternoon reminded her - revenge!
Was she really being retaliated against?
She wet a towel to cover her mouth and nose and called 119.
"This is Jincheng Garden...cough cough cough..."
Wow!
Before she could finish her words, the burned bookshelf collapsed, a ball of fire suddenly burned her hand, and her cellphone fell into the fire.
Lu Enxi watched helplessly as the flames engulfed the sofa and rushed towards the corner where she was hiding. She opened her mouth, but no sound came out...
My whole body was sore and my throat was sore and smoky.
Lu Enxi slowly opened a slit for his eyes. Everything in his field of vision was white, and there was a pungent smell of disinfectant.
Is she in the hospital?
She's not dead?
"Ah ah ah, Sister Lu, you finally woke up, you scared me to death!!!"
Zhang Mengyao held Lu Enxi who was still receiving infusion, and her nose and tears were almost smeared on the hospital gown.
Lu Enxi frowned, her body was still very weak, she was breathing out a lot and breathing in little, "Lawyer Zhang, my clothes are not a towel."
"I'm sorry, I'm so excited. Do you know how scary you were when you were sent here? And you only had a man's jacket on you, otherwise you would have been in a hurry."
Lu Enxi remembered that she was taking a shower when the fire broke out, so the firefighter saw her naked appearance?
Zhang Mengyao handed her a glass of warm water, "I have already called the police. The police will investigate the cause of the accident. It's all my fault for talking nonsense! Bah, bah, bah!"
Lu Enxi moistened her throat and felt less uncomfortable, "Am I not dead? Where are the materials I asked you to prepare?"
"Why do you care about the information when you are like this? Lawyer Zhang said you should rest first and move your work later. Don't be brave. If something happens to you... ah! In short, don't think about anything, just lie down and sleep!
"
Lu Enxi was not a pretentious woman. Besides, she was not injured. She had a clear mind and knew her priorities well. If Si Bo Nian's lawsuit was delayed, she would be in trouble.
"Aren't you afraid that if I lie down now, I will lie down forever? How dare we delay Mr. Si's case?"
When Si Boyian was mentioned, Zhang Mengyao stood up straight like a little robot pressing the brake switch, "I'll go back to the law firm to get it!"
The outside world said that no matter how high Si Bo Nian's worth was, he had a bad temper, how shocking his appearance was, and how vicious and vicious his tactics were. Zhang Mengyao didn't catch up with him in person, but the legend in the world was like thunder.
Needless to say, since the law firm took on km’s case, the atmosphere in the office has changed.
I have never seen Lawyer Zhang smile again, as if he owed someone millions and couldn't pay back, and he was so worried that he scratched his head until he was bald.
Ward.
Si Boyian's personal doctor Wang Jingchuan, whose face was darker than the bottom of a pot, said, "Master Si, you can't leave the hospital today. This wound on your thigh will easily leave scars if not treated properly."
Si Bo Nian gave a cold look, "Who would look at the thigh?"
"Your wife."
Si Boyian maintained his shirt-wearing posture for two seconds, and his tone became increasingly cold, "I'm divorced."
Wang Jingchuan pinched his brows. The outside world didn't know about Si Bo Nian and Lu Enxi, but their small group watched it from beginning to end. "Admit it, Master Si, you just care about her. Otherwise, why would you go out of your way to save someone so big?"
Fire, how dare you rush in!"
Si Bo Nian pulled off the infusion needle and said, "I am sensible."
Wang Jingchuan laughed angrily, "You have a sense of proportion! If the firefighters hadn't extinguished the fire on you in time, you would be just a piece of charcoal now!"
Si Boyian pulled down the cuffs of his shirt, "Have you said enough?"
"No! The marriage is divorced, and you still go to her place for a walk in the middle of the night. Don't say you are just along the way. You live in the south and she is in the east, so you can't be on the way."
Si Bo Nian looked at him and said, "I have houses in the east, west, north and south. Can't I just switch places?"
