009: KE Fourth Son Xie Shang
Wen Changling thought it was safe and was about to put her seat belt back on, when Xie Shang suddenly pulled her, and then she heard a thud, and the bullet almost grazed her ear. If Xie Shang was slow to react for a second, she should have died.
The robber was not alone, there was also an accomplice of his in the bushes next to him.
"Lie on your stomach, don't get up."
It's the language of the empire, it's the voice of Xie Shang, so reassuring.
Wen Changling didn't see anything behind, only heard the sound of Xie Shang opening the car door. Before getting into the car, Wen Changling noticed that there was a gun in the car, it was a shotgun, it should be the owner of the manor, and it was not illegal for Lelitu to hold a shotgun.
Wen Changling still couldn't hold back, and secretly poked his head out of the car window.
She saw Xie Shang skillfully load the bullet, aim it at the bushes, and shoot without hesitation. And by this time, one had already lay on the ground, and blood was splattered far away.
She froze.
"Didn't you stop getting up?" Xie Shang stood in front of the off-road vehicle, looking at Wen Changling through the front window.
Looking directly at the past from Wen Changling's point of view, the cracks on the glass that stretched from small to large just covered half of Xie Shang's eyes, and at this moment he seemed to be cut open, and the broken and beautiful collided together, and the two extreme weirdness fused on him.
Wen Changling was silent for a moment, waiting until his emotions calmed down: "Will you shoot?" ”
"Do shotguns count?"
He can hunt and has played in wild hunting grounds.
Wen Changling retorted to him: "But they are human. ”
"Oh." Xie Shang was very calm and not flustered at all, "Is there a difference between it and a beast?" ”
There is no difference.
But animals dressed in human skins are legally recognized as human life.
"If you don't shoot, you and I will die here."
Those two men not only robbed money, but also destroyed their mouths.
Xie Shang glanced at the time, and the plane couldn't catch up at all. He skillfully removed the remaining bullets in the magazine, did not get into the car, and walked to the co-pilot's window: "Don't be afraid, I won't be fine, and you won't." ”
The tone was reassuring and absolutely convincing.
Subsequently, Xie Shang dialed the phone, called the police, said in fluent foreign language that he had injured someone, called the emergency number, told the address to the paramedics, and explained that it was a gunshot wound, and even pointed out in detail the caliber and bullet model of the shotgun, as well as the amount of bleeding of the bandits. On the third phone call, Xie Shang spoke Imperial dialect, and the other party should be a lawyer, Xie Shang said the situation succinctly.
After hanging up the phone, Xie Shang said to Wen Changling, "You shouldn't be able to leave today." ”
Wen Changling pushed the car door and wanted to go down.
Xie Shang held it down and shook his head: "Don't come down, it's not safe." His hand crossed over to Wen Changling, turned on the car music, and found a soothing piano song, "Wait for the police to come over, you don't need to lie, you don't need to cover it up for me, just tell the truth, and I'll take care of the rest." ”
He's really good.
How can he give people such a strong sense of security after firing two shots in a row, the calmness after the dust settles, the kind of faith that will never let you take the slightest risk, like a kind of magic, a magic that belongs to Xie Shang alone.
He found a clean towel from the trunk of the SUV and gave the bandits first aid to stop the bleeding. He was surprisingly calm during the whole process, and occasionally checked the state of Wen Changling in the car to confirm whether she was afraid or panicked.
After about twenty minutes, maybe thirty minutes, Wen Changling didn't look at the time, and he had lost the concept of time. After the ambulance loaded the person away, the local police arrived.
Wen Changling and Xie Shang got into the car separately, and after arriving at the police station, Xie Shang was taken into a room alone, and about half an hour later, a group of lawyers in suits and leather shoes walked in vigorously, signed a series of documents, and bailed Xie Shang out.
When he came out of the interrogation room, he saw Wen Changling sitting on a stool and waiting, with his head down, his hair covering his face, his hands on his knees, sitting in a well-behaved position, harmless as a rabbit that had never been out of the rabbit's nest.
He walked over: "Scared you?" ”
Wen Changling raised his head.
"I'm sorry." He bent down and handed her a handkerchief.
The handkerchief has the smell of agarwood, which calms the nerves. Wen Changling took it and didn't say anything.
She was calmer than Xie Shang thought.
But it is unusual for a rabbit to have the audacity to poke its head out of the car to watch the hunter hunting.
She is a very bold and unusual rabbit, although she looks miserable, docile, and sometimes a little mournful.
"I'm going to stay and take care of something." After Xie Shang comforted Wen Changling, he turned his head to the man in a suit next to him and said, "Send her back to the hotel." ”
*****
The man who sent Wen Changling back to the hotel was also from the Empire.
She was worried all the way and a little restless.
"Xie Shang will be fine, right?" She asked the man driving in front of her.
"No, Mr. Xie shot out of self-preservation, and he took his hand away and did first aid, and he didn't hurt the two people."
Put your hands away.
This statement is very interesting.
The man answered the phone at this time, and Wen Changling heard the two letters KE.
KE, whose full name is King Eagle, is a multinational law firm. With 56 offices across the empire and 13,000 lawyers worldwide, KE serves more than 70 countries and operates on all continents. His services include but are not limited to corporate and M&A, litigation and arbitration, banking and finance, criminal law, tax law, bankruptcy reorganization and liquidation, cross-border investment, international trade, ......
One of the co-founders of KE is surnamed Xie, and Xie Shang is also surnamed Xie.
Then he should be fine, after all, the Xie family has the world's top lawyer team.
*****
Xie Shang returned to the hotel at one o'clock in the morning.
He took off his coat and shoes, threw them directly into the trash, walked into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, pressed a lot of hand sanitizer, and scrubbed his hands over and over again. He didn't seem to take much care of his beautiful hands, and washed them very hard, and soon they turned red.
It's dirty.
He couldn't stand it a little, and in the mirror, the corners of his eyes were slightly red. Originally, at this time, he should have slept, he is not a person who likes to stay up late, his life is very regular.
Someone knocked on the door.
Xie Shang walked barefoot and opened the door. The man who came was in his fifties, dressed in a black suit, with well-groomed hair that had been messed up, and was the head of the Lelitu branch of KE Law Firm, surnamed Cheng.
"Sir."
Lawyer Cheng is respectful.
Xie Shang put the person aside, went to pour a glass of warm water, and took a sip: "It's really fast." ”
The tone is procrastinating, and it is ironic.
Lawyer Cheng immediately tensed his nerves and felt that the job in his hand was crumbling.
Xie Shang untied his tie, loosened two buttons, sat on the bed, supported the quilt with one hand, and leaned back relaxedly: "I will save the person myself, and I will do it for bail." What is the use of becoming a lawyer? ”
He looked into the eyes of others, and it was a very calm rhetorical question, and you couldn't even hear him reproaching.
Lawyer Cheng couldn't wait to grab the ground with his head and apologize with his death: "I'm sorry sir." ”
The fourth son of the Xie family did not become a lawyer, but he knew the law and had a practice certificate, if he was willing to be a lawyer, maybe it would not be his father's business.
