Early in the morning, the weather is cool. Zhou let go of his instant coffee and stood in front of the window, concentrating on everything that would happen in the lawsuit. Yesterday, I just learned that the opposing defense lawyer is Shi Tianming, my best friend from college.

In college, Shi Tianming, Zhou Fang, and Hong Yu were classmates and roommates. Hong Yu married his son before graduating from college, and due to the strong opposition of Hong's mother, this short-lived marriage ended in tragedy, and Hong Yu's temperament changed greatly and disappeared from their world. Zhou Fang and Shi Tianming studied hard, forgot to sleep and eat, and finally passed the judicial examination. Shi Tianming went abroad for further study, and Zhou Fan entered a law firm, and since then they have gone their separate ways. This is the first time we have met after graduation, but I didn't expect to meet in the way of rivals.

He looked at his watch, picked up his briefcase and went out the door. It was too early in the morning, and there weren't too many cars and pedestrians on the road.

The car was speeding down the street, and someone was playing "Ao Bao Rendezvous" on the left square, and he looked sideways at the music, and the speed of the car slowed down a lot. He slammed down on the steering wheel before he realized that the car had been rear-ended.

He stopped the car to check on the situation, and the taxi driver behind him rubbed his eyes and got out of the car.

"What's the situation, it's about to be handed over, and this again." He dialed his cell phone and muttered something in his mouth.

Zhou Fang took out his mobile phone and dialed Shi Zhengbiao's number, "What's the matter?" Lawyer Chow. A lazy voice came from the other end of the line.

"My car was rear-ended, I'm rushing to the hospital, you can come here."

He instantly fell asleep, jumped up from the office chair and said, "You're not hurt, are you?" ”

"No, it's on the south side of Evergreen Square," he said, and the specific location was closed.

The taxi driver looked unlucky, waiting dejectedly for the traffic police and insurance companies to investigate. Zhou Fang walked up to him and took out a pack of cigarettes from the car and handed it to him, and the taxi driver unceremoniously took the cigarette and lit it. Zhou Fang looked at him, his skin was dark, his eyes were big and blank, and his face was haggard, and he was sure from what he had just said that he was on the night shift.

"Zhou Fang" Shi Zhengbiao got out of the police car and walked towards him.

This guy didn't rest well, his face was tired, he probably didn't go home, his hair was messy, and there was a strong smell of tobacco on his body.

"It's not hurt, is it?" He checked Zhou Fang up and down, left and right uneasily.

"It's okay, don't worry, I have to go to the hospital, and there will be a court session later, you can see how long it will take to deal with this."

In addition, another traffic police car slowly drove up, the traffic police got out of the car with a serious face with a camera, and saw Shi Zhengbiao showing a courteous smile on the horse, and the insurance company also came, and the taxi driver's expression was even more ugly, revealing a look that he thought he was unlucky. Zhou Fang took the initiative not to let the taxi driver compensate, and claimed that he was also responsible, which made the taxi driver grateful, and he almost knelt down.

Zhou Fang's car was driven to the repair shop by Shi Zhengbiao, the taxi driver insisted on sending him, seeing that he insisted that Zhou Fang was not easy to excuse himself and got into his car and drove to the hospital, Zhou Fan was not awake, but the nurse said that her vital signs were normal, and he went to the court with confidence.

When the car pulled up in front of the courthouse, the taxi driver was surprised and asked, "Are you here to work?" ”

"No, I'm just a little lawyer, helping people fight lawsuits." After speaking, he took out his business card from his bag and handed it to him.

He took the business card with both hands, showed an incredible expression, and said, "The lawyer is good, he earns a lot of money, unlike us who run taxis, work day and night, and there is not much money left in a year. ”

"Follow the traffic rules, are they okay to punish you?" Zhou Fang said emphatically.

Zhou Fang paid the fare, he said that he didn't want anything, said that he should know each other, and drove away.

There was a couple standing outside the courthouse, looking anxiously around, waiting for Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang was surrounded by them before he walked a few stairs, and the old couple grabbed Zhou Fang's hand with teary eyes and said, "Lawyer Zhou, thank you for your willingness to help us, yesterday we went to your place of work to find you, you were not there, we thought you were unwilling to ......" The old man cried and cried.

"I had something to do yesterday, I asked for leave, don't be sad, since I agreed, I will definitely help you get an explanation, don't worry." Zhou Fang comforted them and said. He helped the old man into the magnificent* people's court.

Shi Tianming, as the defendant's defense lawyer, walked straight to the defendant's dock and took out the documents. The light gray suit looks solemn and elegant on the slender body, his facial features are distinct, and there is a trace of coldness between his eyebrows, he is completely different from when he was in college, except that his appearance has not changed much, he is still so domineering.

The hospital has Shi Tianming's full authority. With the phrase "trial", they began a-for-tat defense.

"The patient was taken to the emergency room, and the hospital should take full responsibility for the death caused by the hospital's failure to provide timely treatment." Zhou Fang presenter.

"The patient had a cardiac arrest before he was taken to the hospital, which means that the patient was dead before he went to the hospital." He looked at the information and said.

"Nonsense, my son, went to the hospital because he was delirious and did not die." The old man rushed out and said, "Many of our neighbors have seen it, it was the ambulance in your hospital that took my son to the hospital, and it was your ............," the old man cried.

"Plaintiffs, please pay attention to the order of the court," the presiding judge said solemnly.

After trial and verification, it was finally decided that the hospital was fully responsible, and after negotiation, 320,000 yuan was paid, and the husband and wife wept silently.

Zhou Fang lowered his head to sort out the information, and didn't notice that someone was standing not far from him, and someone kept looking at him.

Shi Tianming threw the briefcase in front of Zhou Fang, crossed his arms with both hands, and tilted his head to look at him. Zhou Fang picked up the briefcase and threw it back to him, saying, "Old classmates meet, just this attitude?" ”

"It's still an old classmate, you didn't treat me as an old classmate in court just now."

"Didn't you kid develop abroad, why did you come back?" Zhou Fang asked him.

"It's hard to say, who is over there?" He pointed to the auditorium behind Zhou Fang with a slender finger.

Zhou Fang slowly turned around with his briefcase, he looked in the direction he pointed, plaid shirt, slacks, tied in a ponytail, and smiling

Wave to them again.

"It's Hong Yu's sister, it's good to call Hong Ling!" Shi Tianming pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said.

"Yes, do you remember?"

"I remember she liked you, didn't she?" He pushed Zhou Fang forward, preparing to watch the play.

"Lawyer Zhou" The old couple interrupted them. Seeing this, Shi Tianming walked towards Hong Ling first, leaving Zhou Fang and the old couple to talk.

"Hong Ling, right? , remember me? ”

"Shi Tianming, let me remember, classmates with my brother, and him" She pointed to Zhou Fang, who was comforting the old man.

"What is your brother doing now? In the country? ”

"My brother is in Japan now, and I haven't seen him in years," she said sadly.

Zhou Fang walked up to them with a briefcase, and Hong Ling stepped forward to grab his arm, leaving Shi Tianming standing across from the two in a daze.

"Why are you here?" Asked in surprise.

"If I don't come, I don't know, Zhou Fan has such a big thing, how is she now?"

"I went in the morning, she hasn't woken up yet, I don't know if she's awake now?"

"Is it a problem girl in your family?" Shi Tianming asked with his finger at Zhou Fang.

"She is not a problem girl, and now she has lost her husband and two children." He said in a somewhat excited tone.

"Let's go, let's go take a look, maybe you're already awake?" Hong Ling pulled Zhou Fang and stuffed him into her car, if Shi Tianming said something more about Zhou Fan, it is estimated that he would have to do it.

Hong Ling swept Zhou Fang's face with the corner of his eye, he had always been smiling, but his face was blue at the moment, because he was angry with Shi Tianming or something. She wanted to persuade, but thought it would be over.

He strode to the intensive care unit, only to know that Zhou Fan had not woken up, and Hong Ling and Shi Tianming followed behind.

"Don't worry too much, everything will be fine."

"I'm sure it's going to be okay, it's going to be okay." He looked at Zhou Fan in the intensive care unit with a look of conviction.
