Chapter 2 She died in my apartment
A thick black fog filled the dark city, silver-white lightning tore through the dark sky, heavy rain poured down, and bean-sized raindrops kept smashing on the glass windows, rapid and fierce, and the wind blew like a wild beast roaring.
Suddenly, the shrill doorbell rang in the silent house.
Su Yu opened her eyes and frowned slightly, she got up, turned on the light, the doorbell was still ringing, she glanced at the alarm clock at the bedside - at 2:05 in the morning, at this point in time, who will knock on the door?
She pursed her lips and looked out of the cat's eye.
The heart thumped.
In the next second, the door opened.
The young man was soaked, his clothes were crumpled, his eyes were red, his pupils were shrunken, his cheeks were red from the cold, and he gritted his teeth tightly and shivered.
Su Yu's gaze fell, and his right hand was dripping blood non-stop.
Su Yu's heart contracted, and she quickly pulled Su Sheng into the apartment, and she turned around to get the medicine box: "What happened, you were injured?" Why aren't you in school so late? β
Su Sheng's face was pale, and his teeth chattered up and down: "Sister, it's dead, she died in my apartment." β
Su Yu turned his head suddenly.
Outside the window, there was another dazzling lightning bolt, illuminating Su Sheng's face, his dark eyes were full of fear, and his face was pale.
- "This station news: Su Sheng, the son of Su Zhiguo, president of Henderson Land, was approved for intentional homicide, and marijuana was found in his residence, and the stock price of Henderson Group plummeted, evaporating hundreds of millions out of thin air. β
The front of the Henderson headquarters building was crowded with reporters, with long guns and short guns.
- "Mr. Su, Mr. Su, do you know that your son is taking drugs?" β
- "Mr. Su, your son is only 18 years old, and he is in a nightclub, gambling, taking drugs, and intentionally killing people, do these styles have anything to do with your education?" β
- "Mr. Su, I heard that you plan to defend Su Sheng's innocence, do you think your son is innocent?" How sure are you of the not-guilty plea? β
- "Mr. Su, what do you think about the collapse of Henderson's stock price due to your son's intentional homicide and drug use? β
Su Zhiguo made a straight face, pursed the corners of his lips, tightened his cheeks, did not answer any questions, and under the protection of his bodyguards, he sat in the extended car, isolating the noise of the outside world.
He clenched his fists, his muscles heaved, and with a wave of his hand, he swept everything on the table to the ground.
"This brute! What about Su Yu? Let her take care of this brute for me right away! I've lost face! β

Snow covered the top of the mountain not far away, a thin layer of snow fell on the winding mountain road, and an ancient courtyard house stood halfway up the mountainside, with vines climbing all over the outer walls.
Su Yu's car stopped at the door, she got out of the car, and with a fresh breath of cold, she took out a small suitcase from the back compartment and pressed the doorbell.
Soon an aunt came to open the door, Su Yu showed a polite smile, nodded, and walked in hurriedly.
This is a classical Chinese room, Ming and Qing dynasty style mahogany furniture, bookcases are mostly placed in the code, as well as embellished blue and white porcelain, and there is a painting on the wall, the cursive word "law".
By the window, there was a birdcage, in which a beautiful parrot fluttered, all pure and clean, with only a golden crown of feathers on the top of its head.
Xi Lao was facing away from Su Yu, teasing the parrot leisurely.
When Xi Lao heard the voice, he turned around and looked kind: "Sit down and drink tea." β
Su Yu sat down and got straight to the point: "Teacher Xi, take the liberty to come and visit ......"
It's just that before she finished speaking, she was picked up by Xi Lao: "I heard about your brother, but I'm old and won't fight lawsuits for a long time, even if I go out of the mountain now, I may not have won young people." β
Xi Lao stared at Su Yu and took a sip of tea: "But I can recommend someone to take on this case." β
Su Yu was slightly stunned, and his heartbeat suddenly increased for a moment.
Xi Lao's kind gaze looked behind Su Yu.
Su Yu turned his head and was stunned - a person came in at the door, the person was wearing a black suit, with slender legs and a tall posture, and the suit was as straight as a knife.
He was so tall that he almost blocked the light outside the door, so that people could not see the expression on his face, only the cold and hard jaw line.
Huo Ran.
Su Yu's fingers curled up slightly.
Xi Lao's voice was kind: "Ah Ran, you are here, have you just come to court?" How's the case in hand? β
Huo Ran replied to Xi Laodao: "Well, the case is over." Then, he glanced at Su Yu slowly: "Teacher, is this the new assistant you helped me find?" β
Su Yu was stunned again.
Xi Lao smiled: "If she wants, however, she is your client this time, a case that requires a not guilty defense." β
Huo Ran smiled and said unhurriedly: "It's okay to defend, but I still lack an assistant." β
Su Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.
In the next second, the hand on his side unconsciously shrank down.
She snapped a look at Huo Ran.
He was talking to Xi Lao without squinting, his side face was indifferent and calm, but at the moment he sat down, he seemed to hook her palm with his fingertips.
Next, she listened to their conversation in fits and starts.
She knew when she was in college that Huo Ran was very good.
Now if so.
A young criminal defense lawyer, who studied under the criminal law master Xi Qihua, is obviously engaged in practice, but has published many core journal papers, and is famous for being good at defending innocence.

Coming back from Xi Lao, Huo Ran went back to the law firm directly.
Lu Yuzhou pushed open the door of his office, followed behind him, threw a few resumes on his desk, and said: "The Quasi-Lawyers Association has sent a few interns, and I have brought several, I really don't want to bring any more, you can also pick one, not only to help me solve the trouble, but also to be your assistant first." β
Huo Ran didn't even look at his resume: "I found legal help." β
Lu Yuzhou raised his eyebrows and took a sip of coffee, a little unbelieving that Huo Ran, who was picky, could find a suitable assistant so quickly: "Who?" β
"Su Yu."
Lu Yuzhou choked on a mouthful of coffee, and he coughed a few times: "Who?" β
"Su Yu."
Huo Ran was in a good mood, and he repeated it patiently, and said: "By the way, this is Su Yu's professional qualification certificate, help me apply for an internship certificate from the Lawyers Association, urgently, I will need it tomorrow morning." β
Lu Yuzhou suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart: "Should you fall in love with the little princess again?" β
After listening to this, Huo Ran was silent for a few seconds, and then laughed, nonchalantly: "Maybe." β
Lu Yuzhou gasped, his expression was complicated, and he couldn't wait to rush up and shake Huo Ran awake: "You want to be a male junior?" The little princess is engaged! Engaged!! She has a fiancΓ©! Fiance! You know no!! Male junior! You will suffer from the criticism of society, the condemnation of conscience!! β
