264 Do not fight unprepared battles
Chapter 264: Don't fight unprepared battles
Spring is sultry.
Located on the most expensive street in the city center. It is not an exaggeration to describe this street with every inch of land. The shops on this street are all brand stores or flagship stores of various luxury goods. At a glance, the decoration is gorgeous and bright. Marble floors, shiny glass and windows, ornate chandeliers, smiling salespeople. Similar. Only, only the spring color is sultry, which is the most unique.
The unique decoration is the slightly dim yellow lighting, the light gray floor, the exquisite collocation, and the chic decoration, all of which are very different from the surrounding shops. The ceiling is not decorated, and the concrete wall is maintained, although rough, but it has a unique charm. This is a café, a theme café. Between each card holder, or through the crystal bead curtain, or through the shallow tulle, it is very casual and at the same time very different.
And the woman sitting by the window attracted a lot of people's attention when she came and went. Not only did it attract customers in the store, but it also attracted many passers-by to slow down just to take a few more looks. Of course, this is not only because of her good looks, but also because of the woman opposite her. What attracts more attention than beauties are two beauties.
The lethality of a big beauty is strong enough. If the two are superimposed, the effect must be greater than one plus two.
If it weren't for the fact that one of the big beauties was the confidant celebrity in front of their big boss, and he had recently become their second boss, it is estimated that many male employees in the store would definitely come up to ask for their phone numbers. After all, the barista's eyes never took off this table.
At this moment, these two big beauties are smiling and whispering something, and when they talk about happy places, they will giggle. The laughter, like a silver bell, was good.
Half an hour ago.
Lingse rested her cheek on one hand and swirled around the edge of the coffee cup with the other, her eyes staring at the doorway.
Bell bell bell ......
The door was pushed open from the outside, and the wind chimes rang with it. Ringing ringing, quite good.
"Lawyer Yao, this way."
Yao Xiaohan is wearing a red OL suit and hakama today. It's a bold color that doesn't match her professional feel. Few women can put such bright colors and wear them so elegantly. It is not too cheesy and glamorous, but it has an elegant taste. Some people use their clothes to line themselves, while others use themselves to line their clothes. Yao Xiaohan belongs to the latter. Her temperament can easily control any type of clothes of any color, and she looks so good when she wears them.
Looking at the person who smiled sweetly at herself, Lingse thought that she should be the most beautiful scenery in the legal world. No wonder even that Quan Zimo has to say that she is beautiful. The last time I saw her in a hurry, I just thought she was very good-looking. But when I look at it today, it has so much more flavor. This is a very charming woman, worthy of a long memory.
It is the type that men like very much.
"Miss Gu, I'm sorry, I made you wait for a long time, right?" Yao Xiaohan sat down and apologized as soon as he came up.
"Lawyer Yao, don't call me Miss Gu. Just call me Lingse. ”
"Okay, then don't call me Lawyer Yao, just call me Xiaohan." Yao Xiaohan blinked slyly, obviously a few years older than her, but she had the vitality and coquettishness of a young girl.
To be honest, Lingse is a little envious of Yao Xiaohan. Such a beautiful face, but the ability is more beautiful than the face. The temperament is also very quiet. This woman is the same as Ye Chengshu. All are existences that God has a special preference. Gave her all the beautiful adjectives.
Pulling the corners of his lips, Lingse beckoned to the waiter and asked, "Yao Lu...... What does Xiao Han want to drink? ”
"Americano with ice. Thank you. The corner of his eye swept over the coffee cup in front of Lingse, and seeing that it was empty, Yao Xiaohan asked, "What else does Lingse want to drink?" ”
Licking his dry lips, Lingse said to the waiter, "Boiled water." ”
"Director Gu, do you want it hot or cold?" The waiters here all know Lingse. Who made Lingse their second boss now?
"Warm." After a pause, Lingse added, "Don't use pure water." To boil tap water. ”
"Got it." The waiter nodded, turned and left.
Lingse explained with a smile, "If you drink too much coffee, you won't be able to sleep at night." And I've never liked coffee, I think it's either too sweet, too greasy or too bitter. After being with Ye Chengshu for a long time, she also likes to drink warm boiled water.
Yao Xiaohan touched the corner of his forehead charmingly, and said with a smile: "Boiling warm boiled water, this reminds me of an old friend." Like you, he doesn't like drinks, he only drinks this. It didn't taste at all, and I didn't know what to drink. ”
Lingse winked playfully, "Not everyone likes sweets like Quan Zimo." ”
Hearing this, Yao Xiaohan covered his mouth and chuckled. "Yes, yes, yes. There are really not many people who have a sweet tooth like Zimo. ”
Soon, the waiter brought the drinks ordered by the two of them. Lingse and Yao Xiaohan did not meet once, but the official meeting was the first official meeting, but the two of them already knew a lot about each other. This is also thanks to Quan Zimo, who talked about the other person in front of the two. So, self-introduction is exempt, and after a simple greeting, the main topic of today's meeting begins.
"That's right, I already know the general situation of the Gu family's baby. Zimo told me. As for me, I also mentioned the situation to Zimo. There are two options. Zimo means that I will come to you to talk to you and see how you choose. ”
"What are the two options?"
"First, guilty pleas. Second, the defense of not guilty. ”
Lingse frowned, not quite understanding, "What's the difference between the two?" ”
"Guilty defense, simply put, means that I will express my position to the judge and prosecutor and admit some of Gu Baobao's charges. On the premise of admitting some of her crimes, defend her. The not-guilty defense is to deny all the prosecution's accusations against Gu Baobao and exonerate him. Strive to acquit Gu Baobao. ”
"That must be a plea of not guilty!" Lingse immediately said, "Quan Zimo specially introduced you to help Xiaoya defend herself, didn't she just want her to be acquitted!" ”
"Lingse, don't worry, listen to me explain the advantages and disadvantages of the two to you, and then you can make a decision."
"Okay, you say."
"The advantage of a guilty plea is that you can get leniency. In other words, I will do my best to make Gu Baobao's sentencing reduction and reduction. With my ability, if I plead guilty, Gu Baobao's situation can be sentenced to a maximum of three years in prison, suspended for one year. If the situation is better, pay some bail, and the disaster of prison can be completely eliminated. ”
"What's the downside?"
"The disadvantage is that Gu Baobao has to admit some crimes, which may not be so comfortable for her. For the Gu family, it shouldn't be very acceptable. Judging from my understanding of Gu Baobao's character, she is the kind of person who doesn't shed tears when she sees the coffin. It will be difficult to get her to confess. This has to be done well. But it doesn't matter, it's what you choose. ”
Lingse removed the worry between his eyebrows and asked, "What about the advantages and disadvantages of not guilty defense?" ”
"The advantage is very simple, that is, you don't have to do ideological work for Gu Baobao, and you will be exempted from the Gu family's reproach to you. After all, I heard Zimo say that your situation in the Gu family is not very good. If you plead guilty, I'm afraid that the Gu family will blame you. ”
Lingse waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "It's okay with me." The main thing is which one is more beneficial to Xiaoya. What about the downside, what? ”
"The downside is simple. Yes, I would be very passive. If the prosecution comes up with conclusive evidence to prove Gu Baobao's crime, it will be very troublesome for me to deal with it. If Gu Baobao is really innocent, then I will definitely choose to defend my innocence. But Lingse, you should also know very well that your sister, she is not innocent. At least, she is a direct participant. Whether she was confused or unaware, she was involved. And to put it mildly, Gu Baobao is also twenty-one years old this year. Legally speaking, it is already the age when you can independently assume the responsibilities of the city. It's really ridiculous to excuse yourself by being young and ignorant. Don't say I'm embarrassed to say it, I'm afraid that if I say it, the prosecution will laugh out of my belly. ”
When talking about work, the firmness in Yao Xiaohan's eyes is particularly bright. She's a person who enjoys her job.
Lingse sighed and said faintly: "Listen to what you mean, it's better for Xiaoya to choose a guilty defense." ”
"It's nature." Yao Xiaohan insisted, "I also know several prosecutors in charge of drug cases on the prosecution, and they are all very powerful people. If you want to find conclusive evidence to prove that Gu Baobao is really guilty, it is too simple. I can give you a list of countless pieces of evidence right now. Once this evidence is made public, Gu Baobao is guilty, that is certain. Whoever comes, there's no way to excuse her. At least, I can't do it. ”
"In that case, why did Lawyer Yao ask me to make a choice?"
"Because, you are the principal, you must need to make a choice. I'm just a lawyer, I can't make a choice for you. All I can do is analyze the stakes and defend the choices you make. That's all. ”
"Such as ...... If you plead guilty, what part of the charges do you need Xiaoya to admit? ”
Yao Xiaohan looked at Lingse approvingly, reacted quickly, and also asked about the point. is worthy of being a person who can help Zimo take care of Bu Meiya with full authority, and this sharpness is a lot more than ordinary people.
Smiling, Yao Xiaohan took out a stack of thick documents from his office-wide bag and put them on the table, pushed them in front of Lingse, and said, "Here, I have written down in detail the places that need attention, and also written down the charges that Gu Baobao needs to admit." ”
Lingse took it, flipped through it casually, and said with a smile: "Lawyer Yao has already done a good job." "So what else do you want her to choose?
"No, I'm only one good person. Likes to prepare with both hands. Yao Xiaohan said, took out another stack of documents from his office/document bag and raised it in the air, "No matter what you choose, I have a corresponding plan." ”
"It seems that it is really the right choice to find Lawyer Yao to be Xiaoya's defense lawyer." Just from the fact that she is so meticulous in doing things, it can be seen that this woman is not simple.
"It's over. I'm just that man's money for others and to eliminate disasters. Yao Xiaohan stretched out his hand and said, "Lingse, you don't have to worry. Let's take a look, and then we'll talk. Anyway, I don't have an appointment today, I have time. ”
"Well, I'll take a look first." Lingse picked up the stack of papers and read them carefully. It's about Xiaoya, she can't be careless. Although she is definitely not as professional as Yao Xiaohan, she still needs to take a closer look.
Yao Xiaohan picked up the coffee, took a shallow sip, and placed himself in the sofa, elegant and comfortable. Lingse looked very carefully, almost even the punctuation marks, although she read very slowly, Yao Xiaohan's face was not anxious and impatient. has been looking at her with a smile like a flower.
Lingse looked up and saw this scene.
Putting the documents on the table, she smiled and said, "Lawyer Yao, you are like this, which also reminds me of a person." He's a bit like you. ”
"Where?"
"You all have an elegance in every move and every move, and you are slow and unhurried, very calm and confident. Good upbringing, elegant manners. It's really like that. She herself fantasized that if Yao Xiaohan and Ye Chengshu stood together, they would be a good match. At least, it's much better than her standing with Ye Chengshu.
"Yes." Yao Xiaohan tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Then next time I have a chance, Lingse will introduce that person to me." ”
"Definitely. I guess the two of you should be good friends. After all, you're alike. ”
Putting the coffee cup on the table, Yao Xiaohan asked directly, "Lingse finished reading?" Questions? ”
"There was nothing wrong with that. Mr. Yao has done a thorough and careful job. I don't think there will be a problem. ”
"That's good. That's it. Just two or three days, I want to meet Gu Baobao. After all, there are some things that she has to do with me. ”
"So fast?" Lingse was stunned, "Xiaoya's case has been found out, and it will have to wait until Quan Zimo's plan is implemented." The fastest, it will take half a month. ”
"There are some things that it is better to prepare as early as possible. I don't like to fight unprepared battles. I prepared it early, and if there are any loopholes, I can correct them in time. ”
"Okay, I'll ask, and arrange for you to meet Xiaoya as soon as possible."
"I'll add, though. Before I meet Gu Baobao, Lingse, you have to go and meet Gu Baobao first. Show her the document, and make sure that she will confess some of the charges as I say, and then firmly deny some of them. ”
"This ......" Reiki hesitated a little, "I'll give it a try." Xiaoya, she doesn't necessarily listen to me. ”
Yao Xiaohan lifted his eyelids and said lightly: "If she doesn't listen, find someone who will make her obedient and talk to her." Do you have this candidate in mind? If not, let me try. Speaking of persuasion, I'm still quite confident in this. ”
"Don't bother Lawyer Yao. I think that if there is one person, Xiaoya will definitely listen. Lingse said confidently.
"Oh?" Yao Xiaohan was a little surprised, Gu Baobao's personality and someone could make her obedient, it was really strange, "Who is that person?" ”
