Situ Yan returned to Dongtang at the age of 37 and applied to become a professor in the Dongtang Law Department, and opened his own law firm the following year. In the next 15 years, Situ Yan undertook a total of 127 criminal defense cases and won 98 cases, of which at least 10 defenses can be called classic defenses that turned the tide of the situation. Undertook civil entrustment and appeared in court in 113 cases, appeared in court as a defendant lawyer in 38 cases, won 23 and lost 15 times. The best one was to appear in court 75 times as the plaintiff's lawyer, win 60 times, and settle the case through negotiation on the other 15 times.

In other words, Situ Yan, as the plaintiff's lawyer, has never been defeated.

Ling Hulan thinks that Situ Yan is a rhythm master and has a very good grasp of the rhythm and atmosphere of the courtroom. He was sometimes fast, sometimes slow, and always dominated the direction and atmosphere of the trial, which was even more prominent when he was the plaintiff's representative.

Situ Yan was also a respected scholar who was repeatedly hired by the City Hall to participate in the revision of the Eastern Tang Local Bill. With its attention to appearance and elegant conversation, it is easy to make a good impression on the judge in the courtroom.

Appearance, ability, language, and strategy are all excellent, but what about willpower? After all, the pressure on a lawyer to go to court is very great. Cao Yun continued to look at it, and the evaluation given by Ling Hulan was A+. In other words, Ling Hulan didn't find Situ Yan's shortcomings at all, and getting so much information was to destroy her prestige. Not only is it majestic, but even its faith is extinguished.

Cao Yun didn't have the heart to look at any other information, so he put the information away, lit a cigarette, leaned back on the reclining chair, and looked at the horizon in the distance leisurely.

As a boy who grew up by the sea, Cao Yun has felt the mysterious charm of the horizon since he can remember. Like a watershed, the sea brings out its beautiful side. No matter how fast you drive, you can't catch up with the horizon. Cao Yun sometimes wonders if there is an ongoing shark hunt behind the horizon.

Every time a typhoon hits, it slowly reveals its hideous minions from behind the horizon.

After being sensible, Cao Yun simply appreciated the charm of the horizon. When others pay attention to the turbulence of the waves and the whiteness of the beach, Cao Yun always looks farther to the sea and sky. It seems that there is the source of life.

There was a sound from the side of the boat, Cao Yun stood up, walked to the side of the boat, reached out and took Ling Hulan's hand, and Ling Hulan returned to the boat through a small ladder put into the sea, after all, he was in his forties and a little tired. Ling Hulan took the towel handed by Cao Yun to wipe her hair, motioned for Cao Yun to sit, and she went to the cabin.

Ling Hulan went to the cabin not to change clothes, and soon she came out with half a bottle of red wine and two glasses, uncorked it, poured wine on the glasses, sat down with a bath towel, put on her sunglasses, and leaned on the beach chair.

Cao Yun: "Driving a boat is also considered drunk driving." He doesn't drink, but he doesn't refuse to drink with others, as long as he takes the wine, Ling Hulan will not subjectively think that he is drinking alone.

Ling Hulan reached out and took the red wine, took a sip and put it back on the table, and said, "It's ten o'clock in the morning, and we won't return until six o'clock in the evening...... Cao Yun, for so long, don't want to do something?"

Cao Yun picked up the wine glass, and the person walked a few steps to look out of the boat: "The water is so deep." Of course, this depth of water is nothing to Cao Yun at all. When Cao Yun was born, his father was a platoon commander, a platoon commander in the Marine Corps.

"Huh. Ling Hulan smiled and asked: "According to this atmosphere, according to this scene, don't you reason why I invited you to go on a cruise?"

Cao Yun said: "Lawyer Linghu is really joking, you are a family man." ”

Ling Hulan said: "This is not right, my husband and I have our own lives. The reason for this is that I am too aggressive. Men like brutal girlfriends, but they don't like domineering wives. For a long time, it is natural to eat and decompress when you are outside, which is normal in modern society. Everyone only recognized me as a strong woman, and never recognized me as a chaste martyr. ”

Cao Yun sat back and said: "Mature charming boys understand, it is no exaggeration to say that Lawyer Linghu can kill ninety percent of the women in the Eastern Tang Dynasty in seconds." ”

"Haha, the mouth is so sweet. ”

Cao Yun said: "What Lawyer Linghu is really going to do, it shouldn't be a document on the table, but it should be oiled." ”

"Oiled?huh...... Last month today, it was also a young man in a suit like you, who took the initiative to get ready for the oil while I was swimming. Lawyer Cao doesn't seem to be very clever in this regard. Ling Hulan closed her eyes and said: "Enjoy a process, maybe it will become a lifelong memory." You don't have to be responsible, and I can teach you a lot, isn't that the charm of maturity?"

"Bullying young men also seems to be a pleasure for you. ”

"All I know is that the vast majority of boys enjoy it. Ling Hulan said: "Or you give me an answer that I am satisfied with, why I invited you to the yacht, and ......"

Cao Yundao: "Purely handsome, I am basically at the bottom of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, smart and handsome, and I can only barely be a middle and low class." Looking at my physique, I haven't really exercised in years. If it was just for that, I shouldn't be here. ”

"Hmm...... The answer is ok. The real reason is that I only have this one day a month, and today is a day of complete rest. Every month in the summer, I go out to sea here, and enjoy the tranquility alone, enjoying the unity with nature, ten years like a day, rain or shine...... Occasionally, the two become one. But it won't be you, it's not the reason you said, women of my age prefer little white faces. I'm going to be a little more demanding, and what I like is a little white face with a brain. Although you are eligible, I want to keep it for my daughter, and although you don't have any ideas about it, I think you are a good fit. In any case, you can't ruin the possibility of young people just because I like it or not. ”

Cao Yun answered like an old man and said, "Tian'er is a good girl. ”

Ling Hulan said: "I'm a little unhappy, is it really because I'm too old to be attractive to you?"

"This ...... You want to hear the truth?"

"I asked, and I wanted to hear the truth. ”

Cao Yundao: "On the contrary, I am now like a person who buys lottery tickets, a person who has been longing for the jackpot for more than ten years, and suddenly won the lottery, and the first reaction is: I am dreaming, right?"

"Haha, so you're dreaming now?"

"Yes. ”

Ling Hulan asked: "Your face is not red, your heart is not beating, your composure does not match your age." ”

Cao Yun replied: "I used to be an honor student at the Police University, not an ordinary person. ”

"Hmm...... It's not enough, I've already heard about your father Cao Lie. You are a little mysterious, there is some danger in the mystery, and people like you can be said to be a grandma killer. Women who are tired of living day after day like you the most. So we'd better end this topic sensibly...... How's that? What are your thoughts on the case?"

Finally got to the point, Cao Yun picked up the information: "Situ Yan is more murderous than I thought, and the plaintiff is undefeated, which is not something that anyone can do." ”
