early morning

When the sun began to warm up the city, Eddie was already sitting in a car and slowly driving towards the prison, next to Ran Zhi's son Ran Qiu.

It was just 7 o'clock, and the green wheat fields on the farms in the east were flowing like waves in the wind, and the air was fresh and pleasant.

The place where the car sits Ran Zhi's daughter Ran Yu, as well as his wife and little grandson, Mani. Hillman.

"It should be there soon."

"Thank you, Mr. Eddy."

Ding Manman said gratefully, after Ran Zhi went in, Eddie took very good care of them, and now his son Ran Qiu is also working as a department manager in a large company, and his daughter is very happy every day.

All this is thanks to her husband Ran Zhi, although the family doesn't understand why Eddie takes such a fancy to Ran Zhi, because in the past years, the family knows very well that the family or other businessmen look down on Ran Zhi, and they won't even look at him, but Eddie is different, and has given their family a lot of benefits over the years.

"Mr. Eddie, thank you so much for coming with us to pick up my dad."

Eddie smiled and shook his head.

"We are relatives, and your dad and I are very good friends, your dad is really good, and of course you are the same."

Ran Yu nodded with a smile, in Hillman's house, since her husband had a car accident, she finally eased her relationship with him a lot, and she took good care of him every day, and the relationship between the husband and wife was very good.

It's just that what the family doesn't understand is that his father is not capable or shrewd enough compared to others, but Eddie takes such a fancy to Ran Zhi that the three members of the family are very puzzled.

Eddie looked at the field in the distance in a good mood, he could already see the prison, followed by a long convoy, Eddie wanted to welcome Ran Zhi who was released from prison, and then officially appointed him as the head of Eddie Finance of the Hillman family.

Ran Zhi is a very talented person in Eddie's eyes, and when the two met for the first time, Eddie felt that this guy had the same aura as himself.

Handing over Eddie Finance to Ran Zhi is also Prometheus's choice, and Eddie also plans to hire this person from the bottom to serve as an important position in the Hillman family in order to alleviate the current large-scale boycott of the family, and also wants to tell the whole city that the Hillman family is only talented.

The car came to the door of Prison No. 1 little by little, at this time there were already many vehicles waiting, some businessmen were surprised when they saw Eddie coming, but no one dared to lean over, at this time many prisoners came out.

Ding Manman and his daughter took their grandson Mani, anxiously looking for Ran Zhi's figure.

Finally, under the watchful eye of everyone, the three of them greeted them excitedly.

"Honey."

Ding Manman threw himself into Ran Zhi's arms, he smiled and nodded, looking at his daughter and son, at this time Ran Zhi saw Eddie, and his eyes began to change in an instant.

"Grandpa."

Mani shouted affectionately, but at this time Ran Zhi was a little surprised.

"Where does this kid go to school now?"

"Dad, it's Mr. Eddie who is teaching, and the children in the family are all the same."

Ran Zhi didn't continue to listen to what his daughter said, but squatted in front of his grandson Mani, the little guy immediately showed a kind smile, and hugged his hands, Ran Zhi looked at Eddie in the distance.

He got up and didn't even look at his grandson, nor did he accept his grandson's hug, but walked towards Eddie angrily with his eyes.

"Mr. Ran Zhi, I personally came to pick you up and wanted you to be the head of our Eddie Financial."

Ran Zhi snorted, squinting at the little grandson behind him whose face had changed, but it was not too obvious.

"Satisfied?"

Eddie smiled and bowed, Ran Zhi pointed to the field path next to him, and Eddie followed.

"Wife, I want to talk to Mr. Eddie about something."

The two walked side by side into the path in the field, and no one behind them followed, and a violent wind blew in his face, and Ran Zhi's expression became serious.

"You've failed, Eddie."

"Ah, wise man, I failed!"

Ran Zhi laughed, his face arrogant.

"After all, it's just a pile of data, and you really believe that that data can provide you with strong protection, so you fail."

"Data is probability, there will be some probabilities in the probability, failure is also one of them, and then I only hope that you can take care of Eddie Finance in an all-round way, after all, we still have a chance, the reputation of the Hillman family has improved, as long as the Angus family moves again, I will definitely be able to ........"

Ran Zhi raised a hand.

"Please allow me to refuse, and I want to be able to sell all the assets in my name, and I plan to go back to the bottom."

For a moment, Eddie panicked.

"What are you going to do when you go back to the bottom?"

"Retirement."

Adhi laughed, maniac laughter drifting in the wind, and he shook his head constantly.

"Don't be kidding, wise man, you're indispensable in my plan."

Ran Zhi shook his head.

"By the same token, I don't want to say a second Eddie, you've failed! The evil you understand is nothing more than your own delusion, and it is impossible to achieve it, and the reason why I want to go back to the bottom is that I have thought of another plan, which is different from your bullshit data. ”

Ran Zhi gently tapped his head, and Eddie's face turned cold.

"The sheer size of the family has given you too much protection, and you've gone off the rails of Eddie."

Ran Zhi turned his head as he spoke, and brought his cheek closer to Eddie's eyes.

"The real crime is not a matter of talking, never participating in it, never tasting it, just blindly hiding in the high wall, watching others struggle in the evil they have created, crying, and roaring, what kind of crime is this******* Di swallowed, Ran Zhi tilted his head slightly, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"So you are destined to be incomprehensible Eddie, but I am different, I will participate in it, understand the nature of sin in the true sense, so that I can control it, and you will continue to be in your castle, and continue to carry out your plan in comfort, I will not accompany you."

"Wait!"

Eddie stopped the wise man, and at this time his face showed some confusion and helplessness, and Ran Zhi stopped.

"At least tell me what are you going to do?"

The wise man smiled and turned his head away with a hint of evil on his face.

"Create a paradise that belongs to the bottom!"

Looking at Ran Zhi, who was leaving quietly, Eddie didn't stop him, just smiled.

"Then I'm really looking forward to it, wise man, and I'll continue!"

"I'll keep going!"

8:23 a.m

Meranda yawned and got out of bed.

"Quasimodo."

Meranda called out, smiling helplessly and getting up from the bed, she pushed open the window, and the flowers in the small garden in the sun were particularly bright.

At this time, Quasimodo's figure appeared by the wall of the small dilapidated courtyard in front of him, and he opened the door of the courtyard and walked in with some New Year's food.

"I'm sorry!"

Quasimodo said that, Meilanda smiled and leaned on the window on the second floor, looking at what Quasimodo was holding in his hand with a smile, and immediately she pouted.

"You've been cheated by that shop again, I said don't buy bundled vegetables, buy them alone."

Meranda complained, and Quasimodo looked a little embarrassed, but soon Meranda went downstairs with a smile and took a bunch of things from Quasimodo's hand.

The two have moved to District 58, Meilanda used the money she has earned over the years to buy a small yard, and she is no longer an actress in adult films, after the family problems broke out last year, she was also exposed because of her affair with some people within the family, and she was directly expelled from the Film Entertainment Association, she is no longer an actor, but the money has been earned enough.

Meranda happily took Quasimodo's thick arm and took him to the kitchen, Meranda planned to celebrate today, and now she is very satisfied with her life.

There was nothing wrong with the middle floor, at this time there was a knock on the gate of the courtyard, Quasimodo ran over and opened the door, and a man with a smile on his face ran in, he nodded at Quasimodo, and Quasimodo let him in.

"What are you doing here?"

The man in front of me, who looked like he was smiling, had small eyes, and was wearing glasses was Meilanda's past agent, Pete.

Pete glanced at Quasimodo and said.

"Quasimodo, go get me something to eat, I haven't had breakfast yet."

Saying that, Pete took Meranda's shoulder, and when the two came to the house, Pete got up in a rage, and Meranda pushed him away.

"What do you want to do?"

"Don't be so kind, I'll introduce you to business!"

Meranda shook her head and spat out two words.

"No, no."

"100,000."

Meranda hesitated a little, and Pete grinned and leaned over to Meranda's side and pressed her face to it.

"There will always be a day when the money will run out, and while the popularity of your film has not faded, you can make a fortune."

Meranda shook her head, and Pete became a little anxious.

"Eighty-two is okay, how is it."

Meranda was a little moved, and Pete put his arm around Meranda.

"You just go over and deal with it, the other party is a middle-aged man, and it's all about one night."

Meranda smiled and finally nodded.

"We said okay, I'll pick you up at 7 o'clock tonight, I've got something ready for you, it's your appearance in "Pillow Lover", remember to comb your hair."

"Got it."

After Pete kissed Meranda, he smiled and turned to go out the door, at which point Quasimodo came out of the kitchen.

"Don't get it, I'm in a good mood now, I want to drink, you can keep it for yourself."

Meranda leaned against the door and looked at the honest Quasimodo, he was really very pure, the purest person Meranda had ever seen in her life, her heart was like a pure child, and her heart was also very kind, which was completely different from his ugly appearance.

Meilanda has already decided that she wants to live with this ugly man for the rest of her life, so she needs to earn some more money, and the money in her hand can be enough for them to spend fifty or sixty years, but if the money in her hand is not worth anything in the future, it will be troublesome, so Meilanda still plans to follow Pete over tonight.

After returning to her room, Meilanda began to dress up, and she had to take good care of her skin with some recent endocrine disorders until the afternoon.

At this time, there were a few sneaky men at the door, shaking outside from time to time, and after seeing that there was no one around, several men took out light and shadow chairs, stood on them, and began to peek at Meilanda who was dressing up on the second floor.

"Look, it's really the heroine in that "Light of Love"."

Several men watched excitedly, and at this time, several men were suddenly startled, and a guy wearing a sackcloth hood and a high wall appeared in front of them, and several people were startled and left in a hurry.

Meranda noticed the boys who were leaving, and giggled, as long as Quasimodo was there, she did encounter a few harassments after coming here, but because of Quasimodo's relationship, they were all resolved one by one.

At this time, Quasimodo also noticed Meranda's actions, he slowly walked up to the second floor, bowed down and entered the bedroom, Meranda was patting her cheeks.

"To ......."

Meranda paused, and Quasimodo's worried expression could be seen in the mirror, and Meranda laughed.

"What, are you worried about me!"

Quasimodo nodded slightly, and Meranda nodded happily.

"It's okay, I'm just working, and I can make a little more money tonight, so we don't have to worry about it in the future."

Quasimodo was a little surprised, but he didn't know what to say for a while, so he looked around.

"Tomorrow, I'll go out ......."

"Don't!"

Meranda said, standing up and walking over and hugging Quasimodo.

"As long as you accompany me, stay with me forever!"

Quasimodo nodded.

"Yes....... Don't you go! ”

Meranda tilted her head, looking at each other for a while, Quasimodo was a little flustered, with uneasiness and embarrassment in her eyes, all of which were in Meranda's eyes.

"It's okay if you don't go, you hug me and kiss me."

Quasimodo raised her hand and scratched the back of her head, and Meilanda stuck out her tongue mischievously, leaned against Quasimodo's solid arm, and nodded.

"I'm not going."

With that, Meranda threw away the lotion and dragged Quasimodo downstairs.

"You'll have to drink with me today."

The New Year's morning market was particularly lively, and many people were pleasantly surprised to find that the price of food had dropped a lot this morning, and some of the family's food buying shops were still sparsely populated, and those quiet demonstrators were still there.

It was almost 9 o'clock, and many people were in front of the TV and tuned into the CBV channel, the only media that allowed them to enter the court to defend the legal ruling.

Jewell's desire to break away from the Chen family's lawsuit has touched the hearts of the whole city, and everyone does not want this child, who grew up in such a violent environment and witnessed the whole process of his mother's death, to continue to stay in the mercenary family like the Chen family.

"Jewell?"

Xiong Dabiao muttered, always feeling that the beautiful blonde boy in the news had been seen somewhere.

"Didn't I come to your house?"

Olivia next to her sighed helplessly, lit a cigarette, and Xiong Dabiao slapped his head before he remembered.

"It's Nia's classmate."

"Da Biao, you idiot, if I were you, I would have accepted the money from the Angus family a long time ago, and now you still have to go to the construction site to move bricks?"

Xiong Dabiao looked at Eric at the next table, he had been pestering Xiong Dabiao lately, because he wanted to chase Olivia, but Olivia never looked at him directly.

"What are you doing with that kind of money? Lao Tzu has hands and feet, and the whole family is not hungry when one person eats enough. ”

Everyone in the tavern burst out laughing.

"Yo, Da Biao is not the time for one person to feed the whole family and not be hungry."

Someone immediately shouted, and everyone immediately ridiculed, thinking that such a beautiful woman would follow Xiong Dabiao, and some people also saw Xiong Dabiao tie Olivia to her back like a child, working on the construction site, although it is not clear what they are doing, but most people know that this is Xiong Dabiao's woman.

Although Xiong Dabiao repeatedly explained that he and Olivia were just friends, everyone still didn't believe it, because they were inseparable no matter where they went every day.

"Miss Olivia, I want to treat you to dinner tonight, don't be with an idiot like Xiong Dabiao."

Eric immediately stepped up and said, and Olivia shook her head as many people whistled.

"Idiot, I won't eat with you even if I eat with the beggars on the street, Eric."

Eric was embarrassed, but he could only retreat with laughter, and Xiong Dabiao clapped his hands.

"yes, Erik, you bastard, you should have gone to jail a long time ago."

Now that Olivia has improved, even the doctor said that she doesn't need drugs to calm herself, which is very strange.

Olivia looked at this man with no city, only a fiery heart, and he would force himself wherever he went.

"I'm afraid you'll kill yourself, and when you don't want to kill yourself, I won't do that."

Olivia still remembers what he said after the fight with Xiong Dabiao, this seemingly clumsy and dull man didn't expect to be quite strong, not only physically, but also inside.

This man is like a gentle white light, not too dazzling, not too hot, in the dark night, the temperature and brightness are just right, you can see and feel it.

"If we all eat together, I won't eat with you, Eric."

Eric laughed and sat down immediately.

"Boss, take something delicious and come out, I'm in for a treat for the people in the tavern today."

Many people cheered, and Eric immediately added after watching Xiong Dabiao lick his mouth.

"Except for Xiong Dabiao."

At this time, everyone's laughter stopped abruptly, and someone exclaimed.

"Handsome, beautiful, really a princess."

Violet watched the TV screen, surrounded by a large number of reporters, slowly walking into the Alpha of the Supreme Law Hall. Angus.

"It's so dazzling!"

Violet muttered, when she was still in the school, she would see Alpha from time to time, she was a very dazzling existence for most little girls, and everyone liked her.

And after that, Alpha did one thing after another that caused a commotion in the whole city, but solved most of the problems, and made everyone applaud, some people called her so, the princess of the city's scales.

"That's amazing, Nia's sister."

Even Xiong Dabiao, who doesn't like to praise others very much on weekdays, couldn't help but admire.

"Please give way!"

In the face of the reporters' questions, Alpha said solemnly, at this time the reporters got out of the way, and the people from the 5th section came directly and separated the reporters.

The person in charge of the CBV was at the door of the Law Department, and when he saw Alpha, he hurried over.

"Lord Alpha, you're ready."

Alpha nodded, glanced at the huge scale at the door, and walked in slowly, the auditorium was full of businessmen, senior officials, parliamentarians, celebrities, and some ordinary people who were invited, as well as victims of domestic violence.

After Alpha entered, many people stood up and bowed slightly, after Alpha nodded, he walked to a seat in the front row and sat down, Heather sat aside, the plaintiff on the left, the defendant on the right, a large number of lawyers have sat in the seats, enough to accommodate 3,000 people in the Supreme Law Hall, at this time 5 city justices came out, they have the past management, and there are also members of the city's bar association in the past, they are all the founders of the city's law, He was a close friend of Heathcote's father, Lyons.

Pullman looked at each other with a relaxed expression, he looked at Alpha, and after the two looked at each other, they each nodded.

"Are you nervous, President!"

"It's a joke not to be nervous."

Heathcote smiled and nodded.

As the minutes ticked by, Jewell walked out of the small door on the left, accompanied by a female lawyer.

9 o'clock sharp

After everyone stood up, they sat down, and because the plaintiff and the defendant had already made their respective submissions in the previous two lawsuits, they went directly to the stage of the trial.

"Plaintiff, Jewell! Please indicate your wishes. ”

Jewell bowed and walked to the platform in the middle.

"I want to cut off all relations with the Chen family!"

"Have you seriously considered it, I can reserve the right for you to retract this remark once and for all."

Jewell shook his head with a determined look in his eyes.

"No, you don't! I want to cut off all ties with the Chen family. ”

At this time, it was the turn of the defendant, Chen Dong stood on the stage and said.

"For the matter of my nephew Chen Jie's mother Wilcy, I express my regret, it is true that our Chen family has been negligent, but this is not our family's words, nor is it what we want to see, everything is caused by my younger brother Chen Liang, we have been dissuaded many times, and our family has immunity, I think you are knowledgeable judges, I hope you can consider carefully, my nephew Chen Jie is only 13 years old this year, and he is still in the initial stage of understanding the world, and he may be suspected of being bewitched, There are even people who want to use this matter to split our Chen family, so I implore you justices to reject the plaintiff's claim! ”

Both sides have made their respective positions on the matter, and the debate is about to begin, and sure enough, the final issue is the thorny immunity of the Orders Division and the MPs.

"Plaintiff's lawyer, please!"

Pullman stood up, bowed, pressed Chen Jie's shoulder next to him, and walked to the platform.

"I don't think immunity is enough to constitute the key point of contention in this lawsuit, first of all, this right is given by the gods to the family as a whole, because the family as a whole has paid too much blood and sweat in the construction of the city, which is the legitimate right of the family!"

The lawyers in the Chen family's legal team looked at Pullman suspiciously, and everyone present was surprised why Pullman would say that.

"But I want everyone to think about it, immunity can directly get the family out of the punishment of the law, and only need to bear the material sanctions, but please consider one thing, such a right is passive! In other words, before the establishment of a complete legal system in the Bright City, the passive rights and interests enjoyed by such a family already existed, and many legal provisions are of an active nature due to people! The city's constitution also clearly stipulates that all citizens have the right to legal proceedings, and that no matter who they are, as long as they are self-aware, they can file legal proceedings against any grievances! ”

At this point, the lawyer on the family's side immediately understood what Pullman wanted to do.

"So I think the plaintiff's statement just now is problematic, it is a fact that my client Jewell is only 13 years old, but he is a person with an independent consciousness, so he should enjoy the right to take the initiative to litigate, regardless of the final outcome of this lawsuit, young age does not constitute an obstacle to the initiative of the law!"

Pullman bowed as he spoke, and after a few moments of silence, one of the five justices spoke.

"Now I have the floor for the defense lawyer!"

The chief lawyer of the Chen family stood up, most of the big families have their own legal team, these lawyers are different from other lawyers, only serve the family, once the family is involved in any legal incident, these lawyers will be dispatched to help the family defend in the legal hall, and minimize the material sanctions or economic losses to the family.

"Attorney Pullman has just said that the litigation of the law is the result of the subjective initiative of man's autonomous consciousness! But this is not very directly related to immunity, and if, as Pullman said at the beginning, immunity is not the point of contention in this legal lawsuit, then I would venture to make a hypothesis! ”

The lead lawyer said, holding up a finger and smiling.

"This is Chen Jie's desire to sever relations with the Chen family, even if it is a civil lawsuit, but it is an internal matter in nature, so the immunity is still valid, that is to say, whether Chen Jie leaves the Chen family or not, this is an internal matter of the family, and the law cannot directly interfere with it, although there is a law in the blood law that applies to this case, but this is only a city law, not a constitution, and it is not a reason for the plaintiff to use to confuse the law and secretly change the concept of the law department's ruling!"

After the chief lawyer bowed, the lawyers on Pullman's side were bitter at this time, Pullman wanted to dig a pit for the opposing lawyer, but the opposing lawyer seemed to be well prepared in advance, and he didn't plan to jump into the pit at all.

If the focus of the dispute can be returned to the blood law, there will be a chance, but the other party has bitten the immunity, this is an internal matter of the family, and the law cannot interfere, so there is no need to even make this legal ruling.

But soon Pullman smiled and was about to continue his speech, when the door of the Law Hall was opened again, everyone looked over, and a smell of smoke wafted in, Jean smiled and carried his uniform, stood in the last row, leaned against the wall, and the five justices were a little surprised, but they got up and bowed.

Jean smiled and nodded, and the five justices sat down, but some of the people present didn't understand what was going on.

Pullman stood on the stage, his fists clenched excitedly, Jewell had said that if this lawsuit failed, he would die like his mother, and the rope that Wilsie used to hang himself, Jewell had always carried with him.
