Chapter 8: Daredevil for help
Along William. The direction in which Baker fled, Su Zheng, who had been delayed for some time, finally failed to find William. www.biquge.info was worried that something would happen to Penny, who couldn't wait for her father to come home, so he stopped a passing taxi and rushed to Penny's house.
Looking at the wooden window that was covered by curtains, Su Zheng really didn't know how to explain his father's situation to Penny.
Penny's face turned even paler when she opened the door. The usual neat outfit is now a little messy. Swollen with red eyes. It seems that Penny already knows what happened today.
"Hi...", the words of comfort that had been prepared for a long time were instantly stuck in his throat. Looking at his little face, which was even more bloodless than usual, Su Zheng felt that his heart was as sad as if it were stirring. (I do have this feeling, and Hippopotamus-kun has experienced it.)
"William was unintentional", he didn't know how to comfort the girl, Su Zheng could only pick up some good things to talk about; "The old man was not life-threatening, and the wound was not very serious."
Fate tormented this poor girl, but it also gave her a maturity that surpassed her peers. Knowing his father's dedication to himself, although he can't let go of his father's criminal behavior, he can't have any resentment. "I saw it, on TV", looked up at Su Zheng, who was affected by his low mood, and blushed embarrassedly, "My father was just caught by the police." ”
"Uh... The police are so powerful, no", such a sentence came out in embarrassment, and Su Zheng, who instantly noticed that he had said the wrong thing, hurriedly defended: "I mean, the police are really bad..."
"It's not," I just feel like I'm thinking a little confused.
looked at the person in front of him who was not a few years older than himself, but he always pretended to be very mature. Suddenly seeing the other party's anxious look, Penny's mood was still a little brighter. In turn, he comforted Su Zhenglai: "Actually, my father is always involved with those gangsters, and I know that sooner or later something will happen." ”
"Don't worry," knowing that Su Zheng was worried about himself, but the road ahead still needs to be walked by himself. Gently pulled up Sue's clenched hand on the table, "I can take care of myself." ”
Living on the edge of a city that breeds crime, without William's protection, Penny, who has been stunningly beautiful since she was still a minor, is like a bone exposed in front of a vicious dog, and eventually it will be gnawed away.
Without saying anything more, Su Zheng, who left William's house, went directly to the landlord of the apartment. The thick Franklin directly smashed the obese white man to the ground, and drove out the black man who originally lived next to William's house for a plate of dollars. In this strange Marvel world, Su Zheng really has a place to stay for the time being.
borrowed the landlord's mobile phone and hung up the phone to Old Man Lin, explaining that he would not go back in the past two days. Ignoring the old man, he muttered and hung up the phone.
Su Zheng, who had been sleeping lightly all night, was woken up by the sound of the girl next door getting up and washing. I looked at the alarm clock left by the black man, and it was already 7 o'clock. Without Old Man Lin's urging and waking up naturally, Su Zheng felt that the whole person was full of energy.
After a quick wash, I knocked on the door next door. Through the cat's eye on the door, although it was strange that Su Zheng came to find him early in the morning. However, Penny still lets Su Zheng enter the apartment.
"My name is Su Zheng, and I live next door," he stretched out his right hand seriously, "I just moved here yesterday, um~ Please take care of me in the future!" ”
"Penny. Baker, an old resident here", he also reached out and shook Su Zheng's right hand seriously, "Take care of it." ”
Reluctantly put down the girl's delicate and silky hand. "All right, Penny. What to eat in the morning, I'm going to starve. The self-cooked girl couldn't help but be stunned.
"Oh~" The gentle girl who reacted quickly looked at Su Zheng, who had quickly changed from a new neighbor to an acquaintance, and was already sitting at the table unceremoniously, so she had to add an extra portion of milk and fried eggs for one person.
Looking at Penny, who was busy preparing breakfast, a sense of joy at bullying his beloved girl surged into Su Zheng's heart.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Looking at the quiet villa in front of her, Penny was a little curious about the purpose of Sue bringing her here. Since they first met, the boy, who was a few years older than himself, had made a strong impression on himself. Due to her illness and family, Penny lacked contact with strangers from an early age. The weak body brought Penny a lot of pain, but it also developed the girl's keen intuition. Unlike his father's so-called friends, the shy Sue is the first man other than his father who does not give Penny a sense of crisis. It is precisely because of this feeling that the girl who is alone is willing to open the door for Su Zheng, and endure Su Zheng's mischievous rice and being brought here inexplicably.
Ignoring the puzzled gaze of the girl next to him, Su Zheng pushed straight open the door of the villa. Typically decorated in an American style, the spacious living room is the size of two Penny's homes, with brown wood floors spread throughout the floor. There are several brown cowhide sofas under the huge crystal ceiling, which makes the whole environment solemn and calm. In the corner of the living room is a snooker table, and the green table top brings a touch of vitality to the whole space, and successful lawyers are indeed rich people.
"Hello Mr. and Miss", the secretary in a black skirt walked to Su Zheng and the others with crisp steps, "Welcome to Murdoch Law Firm, do you have an appointment?" ”
"Hello, I came in a hurry, I didn't have time to make an appointment with Attorney Murdoch," he shrugged apologetically, pulled out a note with writing from his pocket and handed it to the secretary, "Give this to Attorney Murdoch, he will be willing to see me." ”
Looking at Su Zheng, who was full of confidence, the secretary took the note suspiciously, "Wait a minute." After saying that, he walked up to the second floor with his sexy ass.
"You're looking for a lawyer to defend my dad, right?" Penny, who had been observing curiously, couldn't help the excitement in her heart, and tightly grasped Su Zheng's hand. Looking at Penny's gaffe, who had always been gentle and polite, Su Zheng couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Hehe..."
Happiness and sorrow are said to be Su Zheng's situation. Depressed at not getting an answer, and seeing Su Zheng laughing proudly, Penny, who could no longer control it, launched the most powerful attack.
"Cross Twist..."
-10, a damage number flooded Su Zheng's mind. Grabbing the little hand that was about to continue the attack, he had to explain clearly: "Matt. Murdoch is a very good barrister, and it would be of great help if he could be called in to defend William. ”
Matt's name has even been heard of by Penny, who is not at home, "But lawyer Murdoch rarely appears in court for the defense, and legend has it that this particular lawyer hates sin, would he be willing to be my father's defense lawyer?" ”
Penny's words obviously woke up the blindly optimistic Su Zheng. thought that as long as he turned to Matt's legal ability, he could help William, but ignoring Matt's jealous and hateful character, Su Zheng instantly became a little overwhelmed.
At this moment, the sound of the brisk footsteps hitting the ground with the stick made the two whispering pause communication.
"Nice to meet you," apparently the contents of the note played a role. Although he was not very enthusiastic, at least he could spare valuable working time to meet this person who pointed out his identity in one word, and Su Zheng's goal was naturally achieved.
I can hear the meaning of Matt's words. I never doubted Matt's keen four senses, although it was difficult for ordinary people to distinguish, but the senses were strengthened to a level similar to Matt and Su Zheng, and they could already understand the situation around them through the information obtained by the five senses. Smelling the familiar faint smell of oil smoke on his body, Matt naturally understood who was sacred.
When he first found the note from the secretary, Matt was still worried that the other party would be in trouble. Although his skills are extraordinary, the faint sense of depression from the night before made Matt, who has always trusted his instincts, understand that he is definitely not the opponent of the other party. The next conversation between the two people downstairs put Matt at ease. Since you are asking for help, you don't have to worry about the other party looking for trouble.
The slender body, the white shirt with the top button unbuttoned, the slim navy blue suit, a simple sunglasses hanging on the bridge of the nose, and the cane on the ground in his right hand, a calm and chic air came to his face.
Looking at the other party's picture of a successful person, Su Zheng suddenly became envious and jealous of that hatred.
The guest sat down, and Penny told Matt the truth about her family situation, after all, William had a reason for the robbery. William, who was only an accomplice himself, shot Ben in a hurry, which made the nature of the incident worse. Thanks to Su Zheng's potion, the incident did not go worse.
"Listen to you, can you get the understanding of the parties in this matter and not prosecute?" In just a few words, the professionals get to the point. Although he was not very willing to serve as a defense lawyer for William as a criminal, he thought of his father's love who was forced to rob because of Penny's illness. Murdoch, too, silently gave everything for his children. Looking at the pleading look of the little girl in front of him, Matt really couldn't refuse.
"That's a wise elder", thinking of the little spider's uncle, Su Zheng still admired it. "Although he is an ordinary old man, his mind is really great."
can make a strong man like Su Zheng look admired, Matt obviously has a good impression of Ben, who has never met.
"Can you imagine that in the last moments of your life, you are still telling your nephew not to resent the murderer who hurt him," recalling the old man who was weak in a pool of blood, his eyes that saw through the glitz, "With great power comes great responsibility." ”
"Can you take me to apologize to the old man?" Holding Su Zheng's hand, Penny said with a serious face, "Anyway, it was my father who hurt him, and I think I need to apologize in person." “
Nodding slightly, he sent an invitation to Matt: "Come along?" ”
Out of curiosity about Ben and his duties as a lawyer, Matt agrees to Su Zheng's invitation.
"Okay, please help me find out which hospital Ben is in. By the way, his name is Ben Parker, and he has a nephew named Peter Parker..."
