Chapter 277: Facing the future in-laws
The person behind him was actually Lan Zhiyu.
The reporters apparently recognized him as well, and they stopped in their tracks and took a few steps back.
The corners of Lan Zhiyu's mouth hooked up a sneering smile, "It's glorious for so many people to bully two women?" When did the journalist turn into a local ruffian? ”
The reporters looked at each other, their faces were ugly, and one of the reporters sneered, "Mr. Lan, you misunderstood, we just want to understand the situation." ”
Hearing this, the mockery on Lan Zhiyu's lips became even stronger, "Forgive me for my clumsiness, I thought you were planning to use force to bend into a move." ”
Seeing that the reporters were weak-hearted, the two bodyguards behind Lan Zhiyu took the opportunity to drive them away, "Get out of the way, you guys are blocking Mr. Lan's car." Reporters and onlookers hurriedly retreated, vacating a large area.
Coldly swept the three Ji Luosheng who were standing in front of the car door, and Lan Zhiyu said unceremoniously: "You are also blocking my car." ”
Hearing this, Tang Cheng nodded slightly to Lan Zhiyu in thanks, "I'm sorry." With that, he busily escorted Ji Luosheng and Gu Zemi into the car.
Before getting in the car, Ji Luosheng turned around and said to Lan Zhiyu, "Thank you." ”
Bang, what replied to her was the sound of Lan Zhiyu closing the car door.
Because Lan Zhiyu's car was in front, the reporters didn't dare to stop his car, Tang Cheng drove the car close behind, didn't give the reporters a chance to stop the car, and left the parking lot smoothly.
Hotel, in a suite.
Ji Luosheng and Gu Zemi took three baths to wash off the smell of dog blood on their bodies, and at this moment, the two of them were sitting on the sofa in the living room wearing the new clothes sent by Liao Yilian, and the laptop screen on the coffee table in front of them was full of negative news about Gu Zemi, and even insinuated accusations against Qi Hanze, Liao Yifan, and the Liao family.
The atmosphere in the room was a little dull, until Liao Yifan's video call came, and after Gu Zemi connected, he asked anxiously, "Zemi, are you okay?" Hurt? ”
Hearing this, Gu Zemi's nose was sour, "I'm fine, but I seem to have affected you." ”
Relieved, Liao Yifan comforted: "It's okay, this bit of public opinion can't have a bad impact, what about sister-in-law Qi?" She's okay, right? ”
Immediately, Ji Luosheng leaned his head over, "I'm fine, don't worry, everyone comes to accompany us, we're fine." ”
Then, Liao Yifan asked again: "That's good, Han Ze, brother-in-law, what do you think about this matter?" ”
After that, Zhan Kun said coldly: "Take advantage of the topic, use the criminal prosecution cases that Ze Mi has connected to build momentum, create public opinion pressure, kill two birds with one stone, and hack both the Qi Group and the Liao family." ”
At this time, Gu Zemi spoke, "It's my compassion that caused today's trouble, I didn't expect so many things to happen, I shouldn't have taken this case in the first place." ”
Gently patting her hand, Ji Luosheng comforted, "Don't say that, a person has the heart to calculate us, no matter how cautious and careful we are, the other party can always find an opportunity to take advantage of." ”
At the same time, Liao Yifan also gently reassured, "Sister-in-law Qi is right, Zemi, I said it, I will always support you, from the day Si Chenyi came back, we were mentally prepared, no matter how bad things happened, we had to face and solve them together." ”
This made the tip of Gu Zemi's nose even more sour, looked at Qi Hanze and Zhan Kun, and asked, "Then how to solve this matter?" Am I no longer able to defend the suspect? ”
But Zhan Kun shook his head and said: "If you no longer serve as a defense lawyer for criminal suspects, they will only say that you are weak-hearted, thinking that you are forced to compromise under the pressure of public opinion, and if you want to hack you, no matter what you do, you will be hacked." ”
However, Gu Zemi was undecided, "If I continue to defend the suspects, aren't they even more black?" ”
Leaning lazily on the sofa, Qi Hanze said in a deep voice: "Not necessarily, many times, a crisis is an opportunity, why did you take this case in the first place?" ”
Thinking of the case, Gu Zemi said solemnly: "Because I don't believe that the suspect is the murderer, there are too many doubts in the case, a waitress who has no history of drug abuse suddenly killed someone because of drug abuse, and after waking up, she has no memory of the murder, which is too suspicious." ”
After pondering for a moment, Qi Hanze then asked, "Is it convenient for me to give me the specific information of the case?" ”
After nodding, Gu Zemi picked up his mobile phone and called his assistant, asking her to send a copy of the information of the case to the hotel.
After Gu Zemi finished calling, Liao Yifan's face reappeared on the screen, and he asked, "Han Ze, what are you going to do?" ”
Qi Hanze said simply: "Find someone, consolidate the suspicions into empirical evidence, overturn the prima facie evidence held by the police, and prove the innocence of the waitress." ”
When the words fell, Zhan Kun's eyes lit up, "As long as the waitress is proven innocent, then Zemi is not defending the criminal, but avenging the wronged." ”
After being dull for a long time, Ji Luosheng finally smiled and looked at Qi Hanze adoringly, "When the time comes, these people on the Internet who scold Zemi as an unscrupulous lawyer will be slapped in the face, and the reputation of our two families will no longer be affected, but will be added to it." ”
At this time, Liao Yifan asked weakly: "Han Ze, who are you talking about finding someone?" It's only two or three days before the trial, is it too late? "TXT Book House
However, Qi Hanze was confident, "Have you heard of Professor Song's name?" ”
The first one to exclaim was Gu Zemi, "Are you talking about Professor Song, a criminal investigation expert?" Distinguished professor of the Department of Criminal Investigation of Capital Public Security University? ”
Nodding, Qi Hanze said: "He is a criminal investigation expert, and such a suspicious case should not be difficult for him." ”
Holding Qi Hanze's hand, Ji Luosheng couldn't help but praise, "Hanze, you are so powerful, I feel that anything in your hands will be easily resolved, why is my vision so good, I have found the most handsome and courageous husband in the world." ”
With a smile, Qi Hanze touched her head, "It's just a coincidence, wife, are you scared today?" ”
Leaning on the man's shoulder, Ji Luosheng's voice was soft, "I was really frightened at first, and then I have to thank Lan Zhiyu, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have been able to get out at all unless we called the police." ”
On the side, Zhan Kun disagreed, "The weasel gave the chicken a New Year's greeting, who knows if he happened to pass by or was premeditated." ”
This caused Qi Hanze's displeasure, "No matter what his purpose is, now what my wife says is what it is." ”
Glancing at the little couple who were snuggling together, Zhan Kun stretched out his long arm and hugged Liao Yilian in his arms, "Do you think you have a wife?" I have that too. ”
Seeing the two couples openly sprinkling dog food, Gu Zemi stood up with his mobile phone, "It's too abusive not to stay with you, I still have to go to work in the afternoon, Yifan, don't hang up, just go downstairs, you chat with me." ”
Behind her, Ji Luosheng also stood up and said with a smile: "You are also a boyfriend now, why are you so sensitive." As he spoke, he pulled up Qi Hanze, "It's time for us to go home." ”
In the evening, Gu Zemi got off work and walked out of the law firm, a low-key black car had been parked outside the door, and there was Liao's father's driver standing next to the car. ”
Half an hour later, the driver parked the car firmly in the courtyard of the Liao family's villa, the driver got out of the car first and opened the door for her, Gu Zemi got out of the car, took a deep breath, walked towards the villa, and went to the study under the guidance of the maid, she walked in, and the maid gently closed the door outside.
Entering the study, Gu Zemi stood at the door and did not move, Liao's father and Liao's mother sat on the small sofa, Liao's mother had never had a good face for her, Liao's father showed her for a while before saying, "Come and sit." ”
Gu Zemi walked over and sat down on the single sofa opposite them.
After the three of them were silent for a long time, Liao's mother spoke first, "This case is so sensitive, why do you want to take it?" Now that it has affected the reputation of Yifan and our Liao family, do you think you are doing the right thing? ”
Straightening his back, Gu Zemi replied: "I am a lawyer, my duty is to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the client, and to clear the charges and grievances of my client, I am sorry that Uncle Liao has been affected by my work, but I don't think I did anything wrong." ”
Hearing this, Liao's father opened his mouth, "It is worthy of being a lawyer, and the high-sounding words are good." ”
Against Father Liao's invisible sense of oppression, Gu Zemi retorted, "Uncle Liao, what I said is the truth, not a high-sounding lie, my client is currently only a criminal suspect, there are still many doubts in the case, the murderer may be someone else, what is wrong with me accepting such a commission?" ”
After that, Liao's father said in a deep voice: "From your professional point of view, this is not wrong, but the outside world knows that you are Yifan's girlfriend and the future daughter-in-law of the Liao family. ”
Pursing his lips, Gu Zemi lowered his eyes and was silent.
Father Liao continued to say calmly: "We have always opposed you and Yifan falling in love, because I don't like your profession, the business undertaken by lawyers is too miscellaneous, wandering between black and white, and often stepping on the bottom line of the law for the side of the party, you can't refute this, right?" ”
Finally, Gu Zemi spoke: "I admit that I wander between black and white, and I also admit that I occasionally play the edge ball of the law, but I don't think it's wrong, everyone and every industry have rules for survival, and the meaning of the existence of lawyers lies in this, and I drill legal loopholes for my clients, which does not mean that I am black." ”
After a pause, she continued: "Uncle Liao, the boundary between black and white has never been so clear, I am a lawyer, I am in a gray area, you don't approve of it, I can't help it, but in this life, the probability of meeting true love is too low, I can only wronged you for the sake of my life in the next few decades." ”
After saying this, Gu Zemi stood up straight, owed, and walked towards the door of the study, and after opening the door of the study, she actually saw Liao Yifan standing outside the door, and she was shocked: "When did you come back?" ”
He smiled gently, "I just came back, are you done talking?" ”
She nodded, "After chatting, you can accompany your uncle and aunt, I have to leave beforehand." ”
Unexpectedly, this caused Liao Yifan's dissatisfaction, "Why don't you have any points in your heart when I come back?" Let's go, let's go back. In front of his parents, he took Gu Zemi's hand, ignored his parents' gloomy faces, and walked out with her, without even saying hello to his parents.
Liao Yifan led Gu Zemi downstairs and walked straight out of the villa, he parked the car outside the courtyard, stuffed Gu Zemi into the co-pilot, and drove towards Gu Zemi's apartment.
After relaxing, Gu Zemi collapsed softly in the passenger seat, and asked weakly, "Why are you driving my car?" Did you find me at the law firm? ”
Holding the steering wheel with one hand, Liao Yifan stroked her cheek with one free hand, "Yes, weren't you quite imposing in front of my parents just now, why did you wilt as soon as you went out, this is not like you." ”
Pulling his hand down and holding it in his hand, Gu Zemi asked, "Yifan, you tell the truth, have you ever regretted liking me?" ”
Slowly stopping the car, Liao Yifan looked at her and asked, "Do you want to know the real answer?" ”
