The office was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The sound of paper flipping through, the occasional keyboard tapping.

There is also the sound of swallowing saliva that only Zhu Shan can hear.

Zhu Shan sat in the chair and looked at the tsundere man who was busy taking care of himself opposite.

He hadn't said a word since just now, and ten minutes had passed.

Silence is the posture of the loser.

Zhu Shan found out for the first time that in the confrontation with Ling Xiao, she won.

If the pleasure of conquest is a dry mouth and moisturized by fine wine, Zhu Shan feels it.

After a while, Zhu Shan coughed lightly, showing weakness even more obviously: "Shall I cook for you at night?" ”

Ling Xiao didn't react, not even the slightest frustration at the sound of keyboard tapping.

If you can't follow the hair, it's hard to do it......

Zhu Shan's eyes rolled, and she turned her body slightly: "Then I'm leaving?" ”

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

The aura of no one else instantly made Zhu Shan feel that she was acting in a one-man show.

Zhu Shan pursed her lips, her little hands supporting the armrests of the seat, and she was just about to get up.

"There was a divorce case that came to me in a similar situation." Ling Xiao raised his eyelids, "However, I didn't answer." ”

Zhu Shan sat back slowly, she pinched her palm, controlled her expression, and said, "Why?" Is it that not enough money is given to you? ”

Ling Xiao gave a 'you can stop in moderation' look.

Zhu Shan was holding her tail up, where could she understand what Ling Xiao meant, frowned, and her tone was like an upstart: "How much legal fees do you want, I'll give it!" ”

"It's because you can't win."

Can't win?

Still not willing to put the effort into it?

Zhu Shan was silent for two seconds, and deliberately provoked him: "What do you say about an undefeated lawyer, it turns out that he won't accept the case if he can't win, it's really a false name!" ”

"Or else? Do you think I opened the court? Codex I have the final say? Evidence emerges when I think about it? The pride between Ling Xiao's eyebrows was revealed, and he said disapprerovitically, "It's also my ability to judge whether the case can be won." ”

Zhu Shan turned her face away and "cut".

Ling Xiao continued: "They are husband and wife, and it is difficult to define whether it is a consensual thrill-seeking or sexual. Abuse, without any evidence to support it, is never guilty, you know? ”

“......”

"Therefore, it is basically impossible to convict the crime of domestic violence just based on the woman's self-report."

Zhu Shan added: "He also has control behaviors, such as not letting her go to work and not letting her socialize. ”

"What about the evidence? Wang Huili has a psychiatric report, there are scars on her body, there are neighbors to corroborate that the relationship between the husband and wife is not good, and the police also found a broken mobile phone in her house, a violent tool with her blood stains and her husband's fingerprints, what does Fang Xinnuo have? ”

Zhu Shan was speechless when asked.

"As far as I know, Yang Maoxue and Fang Xinnuo are a loving couple certified by their neighbors." Ling Xiao looked up at Zhu Shan, "Yang Maoxue is now recognized as a good person with noble qualities, how could anyone believe Fang Xinnuo's words out of thin air?" ”

Zhu Shan lowered her head and stirred her fingers, and her voice was out of breath: "So it's really as Fang Xinnuo said, no one can save her?" ”

"With all that happens, that's the result."

Zhu Shan's whole little face collapsed.

Fang Xinnuo said that as long as she is well-behaved, Yang Maoxue will not torture her.

Like the victims of other cases of domestic violence, she slowly found a balance with her abuser and accepted it.

But Zhu Shan knew that this was just a choice that Fang Xinnuo had no choice.

She didn't want to be trapped, she still longed for freedom.

She longs for freedom, so she left home and came to this strange city with Yang Maoxue.

She came with hope and a beautiful vision, but she didn't expect it to be another cage.

Because the psychological defense line has been suppressed layer by layer, it has reached a point where ordinary people cannot understand.

Fang Xinnuo clearly expressed that she wanted to divorce, but she was afraid that if she didn't succeed, it would anger Yang Maoxue, and then cause him to retaliate, and maybe even die......

In fact, Zhu Shan has more or less seen it in the news, not everyone who struggles to resist can see the light of day, and there will be people who lose their lives because of stubborn resistance before the truth is revealed.

Fang Xinnuo can't be wrong, people can't accuse her of weakness from God's perspective, she is just clumsily protecting herself within her own ability.

Because when she was facing death, she couldn't hold any rescue hand.

Die?

Zhu Shan suddenly raised her eyes: "Yang Maoxue also wanted to kill Fang Xinnuo. ”

Ling Xiao pointed his fingers, raised his head, and asked solemnly, "What do you say?" ”

"The reason why Fang Xinnuo didn't dare to resist was because he had resisted, and when he mentioned divorce, Yang Maoxue wrapped her in a quilt, threw her into the bathtub, and flooded her, and she almost died."

This time, Ling Xiao's expression was solemn.

One is sex. Abuse is a method of torture.

Neither of these seems to be a spur of the moment or a temporary idea.

Coupled with the fact that the good people and good deeds done by Yang Maoxue do exist, people who are so extreme are more like psychological distortions.

Ling Xiao's intuition is very dangerous!

He looked at Zhu Shan and said in a low tone: "You don't care about this." ”

"Why?"

"You have to know that Yang Maoxue's image of a good person was pushed up by your column team, and now you want to uncover another side of him, aren't you slapping yourself in the face?"

Zhu Shan bit her lip, her brows tightened more and more.

In the next second, she stood up with a 'pout': "Ling Xiao! We are the media, and the media wants to give everyone the truth, so what if it is wrong? Have the courage to admit your mistakes, and you can't make mistakes again and again! ”

Ling Xiao sighed and leaned back in his chair. He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, she had really grown up, and she was getting harder and harder to fool.

After a few seconds, Ling Xiao opened his eyes.

He looked at the righteous and angry little face on the other side, and said straightly: "Yang Maoxue may be dangerous, I'm afraid that you are in danger, so you don't care, I will contact Officer Song and hand it over to him for investigation, okay?" ”

The unhappiness in Zhu Shan's heart has not been suppressed, and she has not spoken in her mind, so she expresses her heart directly: "Then you can say that you are worried about me, wouldn't it be fine?" ”

As soon as these words rolled out of her throat, Zhu Shan sensed that something was wrong, and she felt a kind of flirtatious anger.

The ambiguous atmosphere hit, but Ling Xiao still looked at her very seriously.

Zhu Shan was embarrassed to look away, as if what she was doing now was an act of covering her ears and stealing the bell.

Ling Xiao chuckled, dragged his tone, and responded: "Okay." ”

The corners of his mouth twitched into a smile, and he slowly added: "I'm worried about you." ”

“！！！” Such a straight ball?

Zhu Shan's psychological defense line collapsed, and she directly looked away: "I'm going back to the TV station." ”

"It's five o'clock, you're going back to watch others get off work?"

In fact, before coming out, Qu Lianjie said that Zhu Shan didn't have to go back this afternoon.

Zhu Shan didn't speak, her little face hung down, and the hair strands on both sides fell over the checked headbands, reflecting her face fair, so the rosy cheeks were particularly obvious.

"You wait for me for another half hour." Ling Xiao said, "Let's go home together." ”

"Oh."

Ling Xiao chuckled silently: "You can go to the lounge and wait for me." ”

The lounge that Zhu Shan understood was the small room just now, and she stood up and walked out.

Ling Xiao buckled the table, causing Zhu Shan to turn around.

Ling Xiao raised his arm and pointed back, "You can go to my lounge." ”

Following the direction of his finger, Zhu Shan saw that there was an invisible door on the vertical striped background wall behind the right.

She suddenly remembered the gossip she had heard just now, saying that Ling Xiao didn't go home much before, and lived in the office.

Isn't this an extremely private realm?

Equivalent to his room?

Ling Xiao looked at Zhu Shan: "There is a bed, you can sleep for a while." ”

Zhu Shan's eyes widened, and she turned around and walked out.

"What are you going for?"

Zhu Shan trotted up: "Urgency!" ”

As soon as she went out, she bumped into Li Shang, and before Li Shang could greet her, she ran away.

Li Shang entered the door with the documents and pointed outside: "What is Shanshan running?" ”

"Be shy."

Li Shang was confused: "What are you shy?" ”

Ling Xiao chuckled: "She's been enlightened recently. ”

"Huh?"

Ling Xiao sighed lightly and retracted his smile: "It's just that I don't drive much." ”

Li Shang: "...... What are you talking about? ”

"I still have work to do."

"......" Li Shang didn't understand, and he didn't want to ask anymore.

He put the papers down.

"That's right." Ling Xiao's face became serious, "Investigate Yang Maoxue's information, and then hand it to Section Chief Yu of the Criminal Psychology Department." ”

******

Zhu Shan didn't go to the toilet, went to the waiting room just now, ate a few small snacks, and suppressed her cranky thoughts with sweetness. Then open Notepad and start writing.

Soon it was half past five, Zhu Shan packed up her things, and then went to Ling Xiao's office to find him.

She pushed the door open, her feet just stepping inside.

"I thought you fell out of the toilet."

"......" Zhu Shan made an excuse, "Your lounge is not good, you don't have snacks to eat." ”

After speaking, Zhu Shan pulled the topic away: "Can you get off work?" I saw that no one left the big office. ”

Ling Xiao just turned off the computer, stood up and grabbed the blazer hanging next to him in his hand, and said in a calm tone: "I'm the boss." ”

Zhu Shan rolled her eyes several times after him.

Walking through the large office, Ling Xiao suddenly stopped.

Zhu Shan almost bumped into it, her eyes rolled in confusion, and she just looked up.

Her wrist was already clasped by Ling Xiao, and she walked forward.

What's crazy?

Zhu Shan twisted her arm, it was useless.

There were people next to her, and she didn't dare to ask directly.

She subconsciously looked at the people next to her, and happened to bump into a few eyes that couldn't help but peek at them with their heads down.

Zhu Shan's ears are a little red.

When she got out of the law firm, she jumped to her feet and shook off Ling Xiao: "What are you doing?" They are all seen. ”

"Didn't you say that the company had your gossip?"

？？？

Zhu Shan couldn't believe it, this was Ling Xiao's method of solving gossip?

The elevator door opened, and the two walked in.

Zhu Shan and Ling Xiao each leaned against the elevator wall, and the distance between them could no longer be opened.

Ling Xiao leaned against the elevator wall, staring at Zhu Shan with his eyes fixed, his arms around his chest, his head tilted slightly, and he looked like a hanger.

Plus he's dressed in a formal suit, like a bad guy who doesn't look like he's on the outside.

Zhu Shan leaned against the elevator wall, looking at her toes, and her fingers subconsciously buckled the smooth elevator wall.

She could feel it, he was watching her.

The elevator that seemed to be speeding when it came here is now as slow as if it was malfunctioning.

Zhu Shan's heart beat like a drum, but she couldn't do anything.

Ling Xiao looked at her blatantly, and even his head slowly turned in another direction meaningfully.

Her eyelashes curled, illuminated by the light on the top of the elevator, her small mouth pursed slightly, as if she was very dissatisfied with what he had just said, and she couldn't vent.

It seemed that she couldn't bear it anymore, she looked at it with big eyes, and quickly retracted it in the next second of looking at each other.

That kind of pretentious, naïve and cowardly posture.

Ling Xiao's throat rolled and gently spit out a word: "Say." ”

"They don't know about our relationship, and they might think I'm your new... New ......" Zhu Shan's thoughts turned and whispered, "I thought I was a junior." ”

The elevator was closed, and Ling Xiao laughed angrily.

He thinks he has eight mental tricks, but he still can't keep up with Zhu Shan's brain circuit.

In her mind, it seems that she can play a hundred plots with different styles at the same time.

Ling Xiao licked his lips: "Then I'll go back now and say, you are my wife, you didn't cheat?" ”

"I... No. ”

"What are you not?" Ling Xiao raised his chin, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared at Zhu Shan all day.

“......”

Zhu Shan was hesitating, and the elevator door opened.

She breathed a sigh of relief and immediately walked out, feeling that the air in the parking lot had suddenly become clear.

Of course, it's compared to the situation just now.

After getting into the car, the space was cramped, and Zhu Shan felt cramped again.

Her little face was pressed against the car window.

The vehicle slowly climbs the hill and exits the parking lot.

Ling Xiao glanced at her several times before he spoke: "What are you going to eat at night?" ”

Zhu Shan's little head was full of question marks, and she remembered that she had just said that she was going to cook.

She picked her fingers: "You want to eat... Ahh

Caught off guard by the brakes, Zhu Shan's whole body rushed forward, and her ass moved forward by half an inch.

Fortunately, the seat belt on her chest strangled her in time.

There is also Ling Xiao's arm that suddenly turned sideways.

Before Zhu Shan could come back to her senses, her blazer came over and wrapped her whole head.

It was pitch black before her eyes, and the tip of her nose was filled with the familiar smell of cologne.

Ling Xiao put his big hand on the back of Zhu Shan's head and whispered, "Don't pull it down, don't move!" ”
