In the evening, Zhu Shan remembered the events of the trial again in her sleepiness.

Her eyes were closed, and she arched into Ling Xiao's arms, and her voice was very soft: "Today, I am in court, I don't know why, I want to lie for a moment."

Ling Xiao didn't speak, her palm covered the side of her face and rubbed it, as if to soothe.

"That's when you asked me if I saw Ren Xingyan push Zhuo Fu down with your own eyes." Zhu Shan's tone was slightly nasal, "I thought at the time, if I said that I saw it with my own eyes, Ren Xingyan wouldn't be able to escape."

Ling Xiao opened his eyes and kissed her on the forehead, "But you're not lying."

In the faint light, he saw her slightly furrowed brow.

He took her around the shoulders and pulled her into his arms.

In such a quiet night, holding the soft little body in his arms, his voice was also soft and warm:

"Sanshan, everyone has emotional judgments."

"The witness seat invisibly magnifies the weight of words."

"That's when subjective wills and attitudes come into play."

"That's why witnesses are required to sign a bond to give a true statement of truth before they are required to testify."

Zhu Shan opened her eyes and blinked twice. She raised her head and looked serious: "If I lie today and say that I saw Ren Xingyan pushing the deceased with my own eyes, will it affect the direction of this case?"

Ling Xiao's hand on her shoulder loosened slightly, looked down at her, and said solemnly, "It's because I have such thoughts that I want to lie."

Zhu Shan: "......"

"Sanshan, a lie is a lie, and no matter what reason it is said, it is a lie after all." Ling Xiao's hand on her shoulder squeezed it gently, "If you choose to lie today, then I will refute you next, with your position, height, and across the balcony, you can't see if Ren Xingyan has pushed the deceased, and all your testimony will be overturned, and it will all become lies."

Zhu Shan's eyelashes trembled, and the panic in her eyes could not be hidden.

It turned out that it was all her self-righteousness.

Falsehood... After all, it is a lie, it is impossible to hide from the world, and it can never become a fact.

Ling Xiao was reluctant to see her like this, so she hugged her tightly in her arms and kissed her: "Don't talk about this, besides, you should be afraid of me again."

Zhu Shan thought for a while, she was glad that she was not controlled by emotions today, and did something wrong.

The knot in her heart was untied, and because she didn't sleep well last night, Zhu Shan's thoughts gradually drifted as she became sleepy.

She instinctively leaned into Ling Xiao's arms, wanting to get closer and find a comfortable position.

The little hand was on his shoulder, and one of his legs was lifted.

Ling Xiao's eyebrows moved, and his hand slid down her back, causing the person in her arms to tremble slightly.

This reminded Ling Xiao that every time she couldn't control herself, she would cry, bite her lip, curl her toes, and tremble.

Ling Xiao rolled his throat, kissed her hair, and called her, "Shanshan."

Zhu Shan didn't react.

Ling Xiao leaned back and distanced himself.

Her facial features were smooth, her breathing was even, as if she had fallen asleep.

The quiet and dark environment, Ling Xiao's deep sigh, seemed helpless and pitiful.

******

Zhu Shan saw Bonjour again a week later.

Zhu Shan and Stephen Koo did an interview outside that day, and when they returned to the TV station, Zhuo Yue was waiting for her at the door of the TV station.

Zhu Shan explained a few words to Gu Xingchi, and then took Zhuo Yue to the coffee shop next to him and sat down.

Bonjour is thinner than last time and looks sickly.

Zhu Shan: "Are you okay?"

Zhuo Yue nodded, paused for two seconds and shook his head.

Zhu Shan took a long breath and asked, "Is there something you are looking for me?"

Before Zhuo Yue could speak, her eyes turned red.

She clutched the coffee cup tightly and didn't dare to look at Zhu Shan: "The date of the next trial has come out, can you appear in court again?"

"I didn't get the notification." Zhu Shan pursed the corners of her lips, "I saw it, I know

Dao, I said in court last time that I shouldn't be arranged to appear in court again."

Zhuo Yue suddenly raised her eyes, took Zhu Shan's hand, and begged her, "Please!"

Zhu Shan didn't respond to Zhuo Yue's words, to be precise, she wasn't sure what Zhuo Yue meant.

In the eye contact, Zhuo Yue slowly spoke: "I lied last time, and with my identity, Prosecutor Su said that my testimony will basically not be accepted, so can you change your confession and say that you saw Ren Xingyan push my father with your own eyes, like that......

Before she could finish her sentence, Zhu Shan jerked back her hand.

Zhu Shan shook her head and refused, "I won't lie."

"Didn't you almost get bullied by Ren Xingyan? Don't you know what kind of person he is? Didn't you see me and my dad being taken away by him?" Zhuo Yue wiped her tears and looked at her expectantly, "He did push my dad, so you said that you saw him push my dad, and it wasn't a lie."

Zhu Shan: "......"

"Do you want him to escape the law?"

Zhu Shan looked at her with a frown.

She originally wanted to tell Zhuo Yue that even if she lied, Ling Xiao would still be able to dismantle her.

However, she was afraid that this would cause trouble to Ling Xiao, after all, it was her and Ling Xiao's private conversation.

Besides, she doesn't have to explain anything because of any miscellaneous guilt, because the essence and bottom line is: you can't lie.

Zhu Shan bit her lip: "Zhuo Yue, why are you lying?"

Suddenly turning the question, Zhuo Yue was a little stunned: "What, what?"

"Your testimony was not accepted because you lied."

「......」

"Ren Xingyan will be judged by the law, and he will not escape the judgment of the law because of me."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean that." Zhuo Yue looked apologetic, "I'm not trying to kidnap you morally, I'm just in a hurry, I..."

"I'm sorry." Zhu Shan didn't want to entangle with her too much, she stood up and put on her bag, "If Prosecutor Su needs it, I will appear in court again, but I won't lie."

Zhu Shan returned to the office and put down her bag, she was a little annoyed by Zhuoyue's sudden appearance.

However, looking at the large amount of work at hand, Zhu Shan's boredom was alleviated, and she began to sort out the urgently needed interview materials.

Gu Xingchi sat on a chair and leaned over, and clicked the mouse: "Let's see if this piece is needed."

Zhu Shan glanced at his computer screen and shook her head, "Don't."

Gu Xingchi said "um", just wanted to return to his seat, and then turned his head again: "Shanshan, did you buy the ring on your hand yourself?"

Zhu Shan was stunned for a moment, then raised her hand and smiled, "My husband gave it to me."

"Oh." Gu Xingchi returned to his position and continued to tap on the keyboard, "Congratulations."

Zhu Shan: "Thank you."

When Zhu Shan finished sorting out the interview materials, it was almost time to get off work.

She took her phone and went to the pantry to refill the water with her glass.

There was a window in the pantry, which was better than the office air, so Zhu Shan stood by the window and flipped through her phone for a while.

On the news page, the hottest video is the press conference of the Indo-Japanese Group this afternoon.

Regarding the purpose of this press conference, Zhu Shan has some understanding.

India and Japan Group released rumors early on, planning to sign a strategic cooperation agreement with central enterprises, but it has not been put into practice for a long time. Impact.

Although Ren Xingyan's case was tried in public on the grounds that it had too much impact on society and aroused discussion, it was still not suppressed on the Internet, and relevant entries appeared from time to time.

The purpose of this press conference is to clarify the recent negative impact of the Indo-Japanese Group. Surface News.

On the screen of the mobile phone, the public relations manager of the Indo-Japanese Group took off the script and said paragraph after paragraph, and finally talked about Ren Xingyan, she handed the microphone to the person next to her: "This matter will be explained by our company's chief legal representative, Mr. Ling."

The picture shifted to Ling Xiao's face and stabilized.

Many people don't look good on camera, but Ling Xiao doesn't.

He has good bones, sharp edges and corners, sharp eyebrows and eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips, which fill the awe-inspiring atmosphere.

Ling Xiao took the microphone: "I am the chief legal representative of Indo-Japan Group, Ling Xiao. Next, I will make a ...... of the case of Ren Xingyan, the manager of the marketing department of the Indo-Japanese Group, who has not yet been sentenced."

The barrage that suddenly skyrocketed on the screen covered the upper half of Ling Xiao's face, and Zhu Shan's attention was also attracted.

[Lingxiao! It's a barrister! 】

[The legendary undefeated lawyer! ] 】

[Recommended debut! ] There is currently a shortage of this type in the entertainment industry! 】

[Weak question, is this the Sven scum type?] 】

【This is the kg type!】 】

[He looks so good, I love him so much! ] 】

[The comrade who said love above, let's understand it with tears in the iron window! ] 】

[What's the use of being good-looking?] My heart is black!! 】

[Money can make ghosts grind!] Pity the poor people! 】

[Ahhhh You covered his face!! 】

[Reverse black and white!] Shame on the law!! 】

......

Zhu Shan couldn't stand it anymore and exited the page.

She looked out the window at the not-so-good weather and became sad.

She knew that Ling Xiao entered the Indo-Japanese Group to help her find out about her father's affairs, but she wondered if Ling Xiao would do something wrong for this purpose?

Zhu Shan shook her head violently, then pinched her face.

No, it won't!

Ling Xiao, it is extremely important to defend the law!

He certainly won't!

Zhu Shan clenched her phone, feeling sorry that he was misunderstood and abused by those people.

On the eve of the reopening of Xingyan's case, Zhuo Yue came to Zhu Shan again.

She blocked Zhu Shan outside the crowded TV station building, and tearfully begged her to testify in court.

Zhu Shan wanted to leave, but was dragged by the bag on her shoulder again, and she didn't break free for a while.

Zhu Shan could only emphasize: "I can appear in court! But I'm not going to lie! There is no point in you asking me like that!"

But Zhuoyue didn't listen, she asked, and now Zhu Shan is her only hope.

She pulled her, didn't let her go, and even knelt on the ground with a "poof" and begged her.

Just when Zhu Shan was at a loss, one hand wrapped around her waist and hugged her hard to protect her in her arms.

Just smelling the cologne, Zhu Shan knew that it was Ling Xiao.

She looked up and saw that his sharp jawline was tight.

Ling Xiao looked down at Zhuo Yue and said coldly, "Zhuo Yue, if you harass her again, I will sue you on suspicion of obstructing testimony!"

Zhuo Yue was obviously stunned when she saw Ling Xiao.

After a moment, she burst out laughing.

Laughing as he got up from the ground, "So you know."

She looked at Zhu Shan, full of resentment: "You liar! You're lying to me!"

Zhu Shan was frightened by her eyes.

In the next second, Ling Xiao's big hand was close to her ear, and he pressed her head into his arms, preventing her from looking at Zhuoyue.

When Zhuo Yue left, Ling Xiao grabbed Zhu Shan's wrist and pulled her to the side of the road.

His steps were so big that Zhu Shan had to trot to keep up.

He was visibly angry.

Zhu Shan pursed the corners of her mouth and didn't dare to speak.

Walking to the passenger seat, Ling Xiao opened the door, then stuffed the person in, and quickly closed the door.

Zhu Shan sat down obediently and fastened her seat belt.

Along the way, Ling Xiao's eyebrows and eyes never softened, and Zhu Shan didn't dare to speak.

Zhu Shan was silent, Ling Xiao was even more angry, and he couldn't wait to go home at all.

He took the wheel at the fork in the road, drove the car to the river with fewer people, and pulled over.

He put his hands on the steering wheel and looked ahead: "I'm not coming to pick you up today, aren't you going to talk to me about it?"

Zhu Shan was very honest and nodded: "

Hmm."

Ling Xiao unconsciously grabbed the steering wheel: "How long has she been pestering you?"

"......" Zhu Shan turned around and waved her hand at Ling Xiao, "No, no! She's been looking for me twice!"

"Why aren't you going to tell me?"

"Because you're busy, hard."

This sounded right, but Ling Xiao was laughed at angrily.

Zhu Shan saw that he was really angry, she hesitated, wanting to grab Ling Xiao's hand and coax him.

She clicked and just pressed the Keller's seat belt.

Ling Xiao said otherwise, "Tie it up."

Zhu Shan: "......"

She obediently tied it again.
