555 (Commuter Pass Plus Chapter 10)

Huo Wei quickly called back, saying that there was a direct flight at 12 noon, and he would be in Los Angeles in 12 hours. Fu Shiyu hoped earlier, but Huo Yu said that there were early morning flights, but because he had to go to Hong Kong for a transfer, he arrived in Los Angeles later than the 12 noon one.

Fu Shiyu accepted the flight at 12 noon, which was indeed the fastest way.

When he was talking to Huo Ji on the phone, Tang Xien had been by his side, and the two had been together for so long, she noticed that he was not as calm as when he first received the call.

The phone hung up, and she asked tentatively, "What did your dad's lawyer call just now?" ”

Fu Shiyu didn't seem to want to talk more, and reasoned that "it's just hearsay, and we have to get to California to be sure", Tang Xien didn't get to the bottom of it, and instead said: "Depart for the airport at ten o'clock, let's go sleep for a while, right?" I haven't slept much until last night. ”

"Okay."

The two of them went back to the bedroom and then back to bed, but they were each awake. Tang Xien guessed that the situation might be even more serious, otherwise Fu Shiyu would not be so anxious.

She really wanted to help him analyze, comfort and comfort him, but now she didn't know what the situation was, and there was no way to talk about analysis, so she could only try to persuade him to relax, no matter how difficult the case was, there was a solution.

Fu Shiyu didn't say anything at first, pillowed his arms behind his head, stared at the void and thought about things for a while, and noticed that she couldn't sleep, so he said softly: "You don't sleep now, you have to sleep when you get on the plane later." ”

"Okay, I'm sleeping well on the plane, don't worry."

He nodded, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "According to California law, how is rape generally sentenced?" ”

"Three to eight years in prison; In cases where rape resulted in injury, the sentence ranged from two to six years...... "She did not dare to say that if there was a fatality, the maximum sentence would be the death penalty."

Fu Shiyu was silent after listening.

She didn't dare to ask any more, so she could only hold him, accompany him, and give him a little strength.

.

Fu Shiyu lay down for a while, and then went to the study to deal with things again.

Fu Zhengye is now arrested, and the overseas Fu family is equal to a group of dragons without a leader, Fu Shiyu has to pay attention to the case on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has to temporarily take over the overseas Fu business, so you can imagine how busy he will be.

Tang Xien felt sorry for him, and he couldn't sleep, so he lay down and squinted for a while, then simply got up to make breakfast and packed the luggage of the two of them to go to California.

At nine o'clock, she called the relevant units and leaders to ask for leave, and the work was arranged, fortunately, the New Year's vacation was about to begin, otherwise she and Fu Shiyu would go to the United States this time, and they didn't know when they would be able to come back.

She also called Teng Zhongqian to tell him that he had something to go to the United States with Fu Shiyu, and he would also be in the United States during the Chinese New Year, and he would not go back to accompany them for the New Year, so that the two old people would buy some good things to eat by themselves, and then eat together when they came back from the United States.

Everything was arranged, and she went to the study to see Fu Shiyu. Fu Shiyu was still busy in front of the computer, she reminded him that the departure time was almost up, so he turned off the computer, but instead started a mobile phone meeting, explaining various things along the way.

……

They arrived in Los Angeles at nine o'clock in the morning. As soon as I exited the airport, I was greeted by several men dressed in suits and elites. They greeted Fu Shiyu and called him "Little Mr. Fu".

Fu Shiyu handed over the suitcase to one of those people, and the pace of Tang Xien's rhythm became much faster, and Tang Xien had to speed up his pace to follow him.

He held her waist with one hand, took the information handed over by those people with the other, looked down, was silent, and did not say anything, until he got on the extended Lincoln with those people, and then asked seriously in Chinese: "Is the injured awake?" ”

Only then did Tang Xien know that the victim was still in a coma. She secretly took a breath, and finally understood why Fu Shiyu was silent and anxious later.

Everyone shook their heads.

Fu Shiyu gritted his teeth, threw the information in his hand on the car seat, and looked out the window.

Now, time is everything, and Tang Xien didn't care that Fu Shiyu hadn't introduced himself to everyone, and asked directly: "Is there any lawyer for Mr. Fu among you?" ”

Everyone shook their heads, and someone explained: "Fu Dong's lawyer team is now in the conference room of the law firm to discuss countermeasures, and wait for Mr. Fu to make a decision." ”

Tang Xien asked, "What do you say?" ”

"The lawyer tried to urgently apply for bail to the court yesterday afternoon on the grounds that Fu Dong had another case that required him to testify in court, but the prosecution believes that the only witness in this case, that is, the victim, is currently in a coma with serious injuries, considering that Fu Dong ......"

The other party didn't say any more, and Tang Xien also understood.

The case is more serious than expected.

The judge's rejection of Fu Zhengye's bail application should have taken into account the seriousness of the case, the risk posed to the community by the criminal modus operandi, and the "risk of avoiding trial" and possible escape. Regardless of which consideration, the judge's impression of this case in turn points to Fu Zhengye's heavy sentence if convicted.

The car sped all the way, and there was a heavy, oppressive silence in the air of the carriage.

Tang Xien turned his face to look at Fu Shiyu, he was still looking out the window and pondering, his jaw was tight, and tooth marks appeared, he was clenching his teeth at the moment.

Tang Xien took his hand, as soon as the skin of the two of them touched, almost at the same time, he held her backhand, rubbing the skin on the back of her hand with his thumb, as if to tell her - don't worry, I'm fine.

The group soon arrived in the conference room of a medium-sized law firm on Penfield Avenue, where Mr. Fu's lawyers were meeting.

Before entering the conference room, Fu Shiyu suddenly stopped, took Tang Xien's hand and asked, "Are you too tired?" Why don't you go to the hotel to take a break? ”

Tang Xien shook his head and looked worried: "I'm not tired, I've slept enough on the plane." The prosecution will file charges within 48 hours, and now that 24 hours have passed, we have to see the arrest report, have a preliminary impression of the case, and then we can have a way to deal with it. ”

Fu Shiyu gritted his teeth, held her with one hand, and pushed open the door of the conference room with the other.

A room full of lawyers looked at it, puzzled.

Fu Zhengye's assistant recognized Fu Shiyu first, and hurriedly came forward to shake hands with him, Fu Shiyu didn't have time to talk nonsense with the other party, and strode in, Tang Xien followed closely.

He briefly introduced himself, and then proposed that before Fu Zhengye's lawsuit was resolved, Tang Xien needed any information related to the case, and hoped that everyone would cooperate.

Tang Xien showed his lawyer's license. Soon, she received an arrest report from the police, detailing the reason for the arrest and witness information.
