It's past nine o'clock in the evening.

Because of the National Day, laughter can be heard from time to time outside the window.

Ling Xiao took a shower and lay down on the bed to play with his mobile phone, when suddenly someone knocked on the door.

He was not in the habit of closing the door, and lazily answered, "Come in."

Zhu Shan wore a small waistcoat with fine lines and a pair of light-colored shorts. She looked like she had just taken a shower, and her fair skin was ruddy.

Ling Xiao's eyes swept over her, and for the first time, she realized that Zhu Shan had grown up.

He opened his eyes uncomfortably, "What are you doing with me without sleeping?"

Zhu Shan sat directly on the edge of Ling Xiao's bed, holding colorful dried fruits in her hand.

"Brother Ling Xiao, did you put away my mother's computer?" Zhu Shan twisted a piece of yellow dried fruit in her fingers and stuffed it into her mouth, "I remember my mom was investigating my dad's affair at the time."

Ling Xiao frowned slightly and sat up, "Someone at school bullied you?"

Zhu Shan was stunned for two seconds and shook her head, "No. New school, they don't even know."

"Then why did you mention your dad all of a sudden?"

After all, Zhu Shan rarely mentions these sad things.

Zhu Shan opened the food bag and reached in with her little hand to rummage through the yellow dried fruits: "I feel that I have grown up, and I should continue to investigate the truth."

A child rummaged for dried fruit, but an adult said that he wanted to investigate the truth.

Ling Xiao felt funny and couldn't hold back his laughter.

He narrowed his eyes and said in a disdainful tone, "How old are you?"

"Huh?" Zhu Shan found out the yellow dried fruit and said dryly, "Sixteen, Granny Li said that I am a little adult."

Under Ling Xiao's gaze, Zhu Shan misunderstood, and handed over the yellow dried fruit in her hand: "The last piece of mango flavor, do you want to eat it?"

Ling Xiao glanced at her, stood up and took out a laptop from the cabinet and handed it to her, "Go back quickly, don't affect my sleep."

Zhu Shan hugged the computer, tilted her head and was very well-behaved: "Okay."

The next day, as soon as Ling Xiao got up, she was pulled to her room by Zhu Shan.

On an October morning, the sun is dazzling but not scorching.

Zhu Shan's desk was by the window, and half of her body was in light and shadow.

Zhu Shan slid the mouse: "Brother Ling Xiao, there is a file with a password, I can't unlock it."

Ling Xiao propped himself on the desk with one hand, his eyelids half-pulled, and he was still a little sleepy: "You try a birthday or something."

"No." She's already tried.

Ling Xiao said helplessly, "Then I can't do it either!"

Zhu Shan was not happy, stood up and pulled his arm, becoming a soft repeater: "You can! You can do it! You can ......."

There was a breeze by the window, rolling up the curtains, the sunlight was divided, and the shadow fell on Zhu Shan.

Her skin was so white that Ling Xiao felt dazzling.

Her lips were red, redder than the strawberries he had bought last night.

Ling Xiao lowered his face and spit out two words: "Let go!"

Zhu Shan immediately shut up and stepped aside.

Ling Xiao looked at her well-behaved appearance, the tiredness was gone, and he took two steps out unhappily.

Then he turned around and came back, grabbed his computer, and said, "I'll let my classmates try."

Zhu Shan immediately patted her ass: "Brother Ling Xiao, awesome!"

Ling Xiao laughed in his heart, this sister has been obedient and coaxing since she was a child.

After the National Day holiday, Ling Xiao returned to school.

He handed the computer to a classmate and said only to see if he could unlock the password.

Two days later, Ling Xiao suddenly received a call from Ling's mother, saying that a woman with a strong voice came to the inspection base, claiming to be Aunt Zhu Shan, a SJP person, who wanted to adopt Zhu Shan, and also brought an international lawyer.

Ling's mother also chased a lot of TV series, and she was very worried and asked Ling Xiao if she didn't agree, whether Zhu Shan would be taken away such a ridiculous question.

also asked Ling Xiao to check the details of that woman.

Ling Ma said that at the end, she felt a little one-man show, and said impatiently, "You have something to say? She's come to rob Sanshan."

Ling Xiao was speechless: "If you fight a lawsuit, she can't snatch it."

"Really?" Without waiting for Ling Xiao to speak, Ling Ma was already relieved, "You are a professional, you said that you can't snatch it, you definitely can't snatch it."

After hanging up the phone, Ling Xiao took out the book and flipped through it.

An aunt who has never shown up?

SJP people?

To rob someone?

How old is Zhu Shandu?

16 years old.

This transnational lawsuit can drag on until she is 18 years old, what will she talk about adoption at that time?

She couldn't snatch this person.

Ling Xiao didn't take this matter to heart, and wasted his days until Zhu Shan's mother's secret documents were opened.

He quietly went back to Yuhe to find the key person, Han Bingbing.

Han Bingbing is no longer called Han Bingbing, but now called Han Xiao, who is the cashier in the finance department of the Indo-Japanese Group.

When Ling Xiao found her, she was very vigilant not to talk to him until he called out the words "Han Bingbing".

Han Bingbing took Ling Xiao to a nearby park, and after looking around, "Who are you?"

Ling Xiao got straight to the point: "I have a chat record between you and Xu Nian, in which you admitted to slandering Zhu Xiaowen."

Han Xiao suddenly panicked, looked around again, and asked in a low voice, "How do you know? Where did you get your chat history?"

Ling Xiao didn't answer her words, but asked, "I came to you to ask two years ago, you made an appointment with Xu Nian to go to the police station to clarify, why didn't you go?"

"It's been two years, why are you still coming to me?" Han Xiao clenched the bag in her hand, a little uncontrollable, "Can't you just let me go?"

"Spare you? If you change your name and surname, is it possible that you didn't let yourself go?"

Han Xiao was poked in the heart by these words, turned around suddenly, and strode away: "Don't ask me, I don't know!"

Ling Xiao chased after him: "Why did you frame Zhu Xiaowen back then? Why do you have to admit it to Xu Nian again? In your chat history, between the lines is your self-blame, your regret, in the past two years, you have been fine? You're fine now, but what about their daughter? Their daughter was bullied and ostracized at school, and she still has nightmares......

"Don't say it!" Han Xiao threw the bag away, covered her ears and walked forward, evading, "I don't know what you're talking about!"

Ling Xiao grabbed her arm: "I didn't go directly to the police station, but came to you because I knew that you were just a chess piece, and my purpose was the truth behind it, the person behind it."

Han Xiao buried her head and thought for a long time.

She raised her head, her face painful: "Xu Nian... Master, I don't think it was an accident."

Ling Xiao: "You make it clear."

Han Xiao told the truth.

Two years ago, she received an envelope with a sum of money in it and asked her to do one thing to slander her teacher, Zhu Xiaowen. Disturb. Disturbed, she needed the money so much to save her life at the time, so she did something wrong.

She originally thought that it was just a lie, empty words, and it would be better to clarify it later.

But I don't know why, after being reported by public opinion, it made a fuss.

After the incident got bigger, she was afraid, regretted, and blamed herself.

Especially after the teacher committed suicide by jumping off the building, she couldn't forgive herself, so she confessed everything when the teacher found her, and made an appointment to go to the police station to clarify.

Han Xiao cried and recalled:

"That day, I made an appointment with my sister to go to the police station together, but halfway through, she called me and said that someone was following her and told me not to go out yet, wait at home, and wait for her news."

"Later, I heard that she was in a car accident."

"I don't believe that the teacher's car accident was an accident, including the teacher... I don't think the teacher is suicidal."

"When the master found me, woo woo... Whining... She didn't scold me, she didn't reproach me, she just told me the truth."

"It's all because of me, I opened that head for that money, which triggered everything that followed, so my grandmother died, and it was also retribution, and I lived

I deserve to be alone in the mud..."

Ling Xiao: "So you don't know who asked you to frame Zhu Xiaowen, and you don't know what the purpose is?"

Han Xiao didn't speak.

Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes and stepped forward, "You know?"

Han Xiao raised her head, "What exactly do you want to do? What can you do?"

"I can do what you can't."

Han Xiao thought for a moment, and his shoulders relaxed: "The envelope that gave me money back then has a letter signature paper inside, with traces of words on it, and I rubbed it down, it is Ren Xianli's signature. I presume it was Ren Xianli, but I don't know his purpose."

"Ren Xianli?"

"He is the president of the Indo-Japanese Group. The Indo-Japanese Group, which is my current company."

"You give me all the envelopes from that year, and all the other evidence and information."

"You want to check?"

Ling Xiao nodded, "Hmm."

Han Xiao looked Ling Xiao up and down, then shook his head: "It's been so long since this incident, and there is no evidence left except for that envelope. And they dare to kill people one after another, and if they knew you were going to investigate, you might have died."

Ling Xiao glanced at her.

Han Xiao: "I can't find out, it's too dangerous."

Ling Xiao: "......"

The day Ling Xiao made his decision was a rainy day.

In those seasons, it rarely rained, but on that day, the rain outside the window was thick and thick.

The class was not a major, and many people had already begun to doze off.

The teacher on the podium, his voice soaked in the rain: "Punish criminals, protect the innocent from criminal prosecution... Actively Fight Against Criminal Acts and Safeguard the Socialist Legal System... Protect citizens' personal rights, property rights, and people's ......"

When Ling Xiao heard this, he suddenly opened the corners of his mouth and smiled.

The roommate who was dozing next to him noticed the movement, opened his eyes and looked at the podium vigilantly, and then looked at Ling Xiao again: "What's wrong with you?"

Ling Xiao shook his eyebrows: "I think the teacher spoke very well."

"Huh?"

Ling Xiao whispered, "Punish criminals, actively fight against criminal behavior, and protect the personal rights of citizens..."

"!" The roommate turned his head unhappily and continued to doze off, "You also listen carefully to this kind of class, no wonder the professor takes a fancy to you."

Ling Xiao sighed.

He stared at the book on the table pressed by the water glass, and the accusation of "crime" on it was very clear.

He remembered the days when he ate at Zhu Shan's house.

remembered Zhu Shan's mother's deathbed confession.

Thinking of Zhu Shan's round and cute little face.

So, whether it's reasonable or reasonable......

Well, he felt, he had no choice.

After making a decision, Ling Xiao's career direction was chosen as a lawyer.

Compared with the courts and prosecutors' offices, law firms are more free and flexible and facilitate investigations.

At that time, Ling Xiao didn't know the way forward for his decision, which was a dense forest full of thorns and no exit.

How hard could this be, he thought?

Isn't it just to find evidence to convict criminals under the condition of saving their lives?

It's not hard.

It shouldn't be difficult.

The legal net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky.

It's certainly not that hard.

At this moment, what made Ling Xiao a little entangled was whether to tell Zhu Shan about this matter.

She should have the right to know.

However, Ling Xiao felt that she was young, timid, and had no brains, and told her that she couldn't do anything, which made her sad and uncomfortable.

But hiding it from her, and being afraid that she would investigate indiscriminately and attract danger, after all, she was already planning to do it.

"Uhhhh

Ling Xiao took it out and looked at it.

Mother Ling: [Shanshan thinks.]

It's a good idea for us to go through the formalities of adopting her, so we don't have to talk to her aunt. 】

Ling's mother: [I finally want to have a daughter. 】

Ling Xiao frowned.

After class, Ling Xiao went to the dormitory, where he knew an SJP exchange student, and asked him to help investigate the person who claimed to be Aunt Zhu Shan.

Aunt Zhu Shan has a local beauty research and development company, and the economic conditions are very good.

SJP student: "She has no problem with her status, the conditions for adoption are very good, she is married, but she has no children. Her mother passed away in the first half of the year, and her sister broke off the relationship with the family when she married ZG despite the family's opposition. Now that her mother has died, she thought about contacting her sister, only to find out that her sister has passed away, and she is left with a daughter."

Ling Xiao thanked him and immediately booked a ticket.

On the day he returned to Yuhe, it rained heavily in Yuhe, the flight was delayed, and he arrived home in the early morning.

In the rain, he decided to let Zhu Shan go to a safe place, and leave everything to him.

That night, Ling Xiao prevented the adoption of Zhu Shan.

He chose to let Zhu Shan leave.

After that night, the well-behaved and obedient sister who coaxes changed.

Never looked back at him.
