Nan Zhiyi slept very lightly, and Ling Li woke him up as soon as he moved.

"Awake?" He took her hand on his face and said, "You sleep so deeply, you curl up in my arms when I hold you, you don't move, you're tired, aren't you?" ”

All of a sudden, the grievances were overwhelming, Ling Li hugged his neck, and immediately the tears broke off, crying and sobbing.

Nan Zhiyi didn't speak, just put one hand around her waist, the other on her vest, and patted gently.

After crying for a while, Ling Li rubbed tears on the clothes on his chest, and his nasal voice was very heavy: "It's really him, he admitted it." ”

When Nan Zhiyi heard this, he sighed after a few seconds: "Don't think about it, it's all over." ”

Ling Li choked up: "I'm afraid I won't see you." ”

"No," he said, in a low but firm voice, "we'll always be together." ”

After talking for a while, Ling Li's mood stabilized a little, and she was a little ashamed: "Shouldn't we get up?" It seems to be almost noon. ”

"No," he smiled, "you just have a good rest, my brother is also with Xiaoqiong." He was also terrified last night. and Lu Jinran, I was knocked on the head by you, and I went to the hospital for an examination after I arrived, so as not to have any sequelae. ”

Ling Li was even more embarrassed, and hid in his arms, greedy for the breath on his body, and his heart gradually settled down.

Not long after, I fell asleep again.

Listening to the breathing of the person in his arms gradually growing, Nan Zhiyi was completely sleepy.

He arrived at nine o'clock in the morning, and before that, Lu Jinran had already told him the cause and effect of this incident.

He was scared for a while.

Obviously, Qian Yang chose to move after he left, that is to say, he has been hiding in the dark to observe these days.

He didn't even notice the danger of lurking in the shadows like this, which was completely unreasonable.

He didn't know why, he was always very sensitive in matters related to Ling Li, and many times he would save Ling Li directly or indirectly because of a momentary intuition.

For example, when Shi Meina spilled the pot of soup, before she made a move, he had the urge to block in front of Ling Li, and reacted a second in advance, so as to avoid the pot of soup from falling on Ling Li's face.

And this time, Qian Yang secretly followed them for so long, and even followed them to the small hillside of Chinese New Year's Eve, and he didn't find out.

Could it be that Qian Yang really has no malice towards Ling Li?

Moreover, if Qian Yang really wants to be unfavorable to them, if he really reapplies his old tricks to put something in his diet, I am afraid that it will not be the situation like today at all.

But Qian Yang did admit that the fact of killing Ling Li's family - as for the incomprehensible motive, it focused on campus bullying.

It's a pity that both the murderer and the victim are dead, all clues have been annihilated, and there is no trace to be found.

Nan Zhiyi frowned slightly, and became vigilant as never before.

——————

Ling Li returned to the capital on the day of the Lantern Festival.

After Qian Yang committed suicide, Nan Zhiyi stayed in Huacheng for a few more days, and only after settling down with his grandmother did he fly back to the capital with her.

In the days from the incident to returning to the capital, Ling Li thought about a lot of things and made a decision that she thought was very important.

Therefore, as soon as the Lantern Festival was over, she went to the Chengda Institute.

During the Spring Festival holiday plus annual leave, Ling Li was out of work for almost a month.

However, in Zhu Jinchuan's view, she has always been in Cao Ying's state of being in Han.

And the resignation letter in front of him surprised Zhu Jinchuan quite a bit. He asked Ling Li to adjust her work status well, just to make her realize her duty more clearly, but she didn't expect that she thought about a Spring Festival and a result of resignation.

"Really thought about it?" I wish Jinchuan to confirm again.

Ling Li nodded: "I've really thought about it." ”

Before Zhu Jinchuan could speak, Ling Li had already preemptively said, "I'm not angry for a while, nor am I angry with you." Looking back now, I have made too many mistakes, and the first thing you pointed out was that I was not calm enough and always acted rashly, but this time I really deeply realized what kind of harm it can cause. Not only at work, but also in life, when an emergency happens, I always make wrong judgments. I am really afraid that the next time I make a mistake, it will lead to something bigger, especially in the field of criminal defense, where my life is at stake, and my words and actions, every decision I make, may affect the rights and freedoms of the defendant. ”

After a pause, her voice lowered: "I used to be stupid and didn't know it, but this time I killed a person emotionally, and I knew where my fatal injury was." ”

"Ling Li," Zhu Jinchuan rubbed his eyebrows, "I've heard a little about what happened in Huacheng. You can't blame you for Qian Yang's jumping off the cliff, he committed suicide, and his death has nothing to do with your judgment at the time. ”

Ling Li lowered her head, her eyes looked at her toes, and her emotions couldn't help but fall: "If I had followed the persuasion of others and called the police at that time, maybe the result would have been different." ”

Zhu Jinchuan looked at her for a long time, and found that she seemed to be determined to stop this time, and sighed.

"You don't have to be presumptuous, you've made great progress, and I know that better than anyone else. It seems to me that you are finally on the road now, and it is only after you say this that you really enter the door. Because of Tang Aoxue's case, you are still a little famous. Some people have already associated Wang Million's return with you before, and many people have begun to inquire about you, and the future development will only be better. Why give up halfway? ”

Ling Li raised her eyes, stared at him for a few seconds, and sighed: "Master, don't persuade me, I have a few catties and taels myself, and this Spring Festival can be regarded as completely clear." ”

This is also Ling Li's heartfelt words. She's in a state of confusion right now, and she also thinks she needs some time to settle down and figure out what to do next.

Until then, she could not affect the interests of her clients in her current state of work as negative and suspicious of herself.

Because she not only represents herself, but also represents the image of Chengda Law Firm - and it will affect the reputation of Zhu Jinchuan, who has been assigned cases to her.

Ling Li lowered her head for a long time, and finally heard Zhu Jinchuan sigh softly.

"All right," he said, picking up the envelope on the table and putting it in the drawer, "I'll keep it for now, and if you want to come back later, the door of the lodge will be open to you at any time." ”

Ling Li nodded silently, and saw his lattice a few meters away from the crack in the door, and there was a faint regret in his heart.

The resignation has finally been decided, and this is her fourth resignation in more than two years. But this resignation is the result of her careful consideration.

She sniffed, stood up, and said, "Thank you, Master, you have taught me a lot of things, and whether I will be a lawyer or not in the future, I will benefit for the rest of my life." ”

Zhu Jinchuan's expression was complicated, and the corners of his lips were pursed: "Ling Li, don't be presumptuous, and don't put too much pressure on yourself, this is my advice to you." ”

She nodded slightly, with gratitude in her eyes: "Thank you." ”

After that, it's a simple goodbye.

The moment he was about to go out, Ling Li suddenly stopped, looked back, and looked at Zhu Jinchuan who was standing in place.

She hesitated for a while, and finally said to him, "Master, my sister has been gone for nine years, and you should let it go, otherwise, she won't be at ease underground." ”

A few minutes later, Zhu Jinchuan looked down from the glass window of his office, saw Ling Li's departing back, and saw her heading towards the subway station a few hundred meters away.

He lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, and put it out in the ashtray.

It seemed that Ling Li didn't listen to his words at all, and fell into self-pity and couldn't extricate himself, and couldn't listen to his words at all.

I don't know how much guidance Nan Zhiyi can give her, so that she doesn't have to drill the horns.

Suddenly remembering the name Nan Zhiyi, he frowned again.

He learned about Nan Zhiyi's little-known past by chance, and he didn't know whether Ling Li knew about it now or not.

He didn't dare to make a conclusion on this matter, but he gradually came to a conclusion on another matter.

It seems that he hid it very well, and Ling Li still thinks that he recognized the wrong person that night, and that he has no memory at that time.

As for whether it was because he was drunk and recognized the wrong person, or because he was half-asleep and half-awake to paralyze himself and make excuses, he himself couldn't say clearly.

These days, he asked himself many questions, but there was still no definite answer.

Thinking of dragging his feet in this matter, Zhu Jinchuan laughed at himself again.

At an age when you don't know what feelings are, you waste a few years of time because of hesitation, so why is it so late this time to notice your mind?

When did he start paying attention to Ling Li, a little girl he never thought he would be tempted?

At first, he never seemed to think about it, after all, he was so many years older than her, and he watched the wild girl who cried and cried like a fart behind her eldest sister when she was a child, plus he had an unforgettable period with his eldest sister, he has always regarded himself as her elder.

At most, it's a brother with a close relationship.

But since when did her place in his heart gradually become clearer and more important?

This seems to be traced back to the time when I went to Changshan and was busy running around for Qin Xinghai's case.

Watch her metamorphose step by step, grow little by little, and become dazzling little by little.

It's a pity that he hasn't been in love for too long, and he has long forgotten his throbbing mood, so that he misses the opportunity again and again.

And when he remembered that at the last moment of the case he decided to use her to put his plan in front of her unabashedly, he could still clearly remember her hurt look at that time and the persistence he had endured in his heart.

Therefore, even if she can understand his approach later, there is always a layer of estrangement.

If there had not been that mistake at the beginning, and if there was no betrayal after he took advantage of her trust and dependence, she would probably have stayed in the capital and spent it with him during the Spring Festival a year ago.

was not abducted to Nanxi by Nanzhiyi, let alone the case of 200 million intellectual property rights later.

What has happened cannot be ignored and treated as if it does not exist. The cause of yesterday and the fruit of today are all planted by Him.

Therefore, he can't blame others, and he shouldn't be so embarrassed by Ling Li.

But when I think of this, there is a bitterness in my mouth, and a trace of unwillingness in my heart.

He clenched his fists and thought for a moment - regret it now, but is it too late?
