Late at night.

I don't know when the snow will fall.

Fu Jinnian slowly drove the car back to the villa area, with a tired look on his face.

In the past few days, he has to take care of Fu Jinxi and deal with the lawyer's case, even if today is New Year's Day, he has no time to rest, and he is physically and mentally exhausted at the moment.

Turning into the garage, he looked at the snowman sitting in a chair not far from the doorway, and he slammed on the brakes in surprise.

After looking closely, I recognized that it was a figure.

The man stood in the shadow of the pine trees, for there was snow on his head, and his black clothes almost blended in with the night.

If it weren't for the other party's scarlet cigarette butt, which was lit up and extinguished in the dark, it would be almost impossible to tell that it was a person.

Jumping out of the car, Fu Jinnian stepped on the snow and walked over.

It took a few steps closer to see each other's faces clearly.

"Jiang Lu?"

Jiang Lu put out the last cigarette in his hand in the ashtray.

He walked over with a head and a shoulder of falling snow, raised his right hand, and handed him the information in his hand.

Fu Jinnian took the envelope and looked at it by the light of the street lamp, looking surprised.

"Where did you get that?"

"None of this matters." Jiang Lu stuffed his cold palm into his coat pocket, "These...... Can you help Ning Chen overturn the case? ”

"I've also found some evidence these days, and with your information, it's definitely okay." Fu Jinnian's gaze fell on the man's pale face, "Let's go in and talk, it's cold outside." ”

"No need."

Jiang Lu's tone was very light.

It's like snow fluttering in mid-air, and there isn't much temperature.

"It's okay if you don't want to go in."

Fu Jinnian knew that he hadn't forgiven himself yet, and he didn't force it.

"Don't worry, I will definitely handle Ning Chen's case as soon as possible, strive to overturn the case and retry it as soon as possible, and give him freedom."

"That's what you owe him."

Bypassing him, Jiang Lu strode away in the snow.

Fu Jinnian turned around and looked at the tall and thin figure in the heavy snow, wanting to call him, his lips opened but he didn't make a sound.

Seeing Jiang Lu's figure leave, he looked at the information in his hand, stepped up the steps, took out his mobile phone and dialed the assistant's number.

"All the arrangements will be canceled tomorrow, and tomorrow morning, you will come to me."

Walked into the living room, took off his coat, and hurried upstairs without bothering about his shoes.

Open the information in your hand and read it carefully from beginning to end.

Fu Jinnian turned on the computer and created a new document.

A few words were typed with a solemn expression——

"Retrial" of the Tianning apartment collapse case "application".

……

……

During the Chinese New Year, the orchestra is the busiest time.

The New Year's concert was followed by a variety of performances.

As the leader of the violin and the second violinist of the orchestra, Ning Xi is also extremely busy.

In addition to rehearsals are performances, or on the way to performances.

The school has just entered the final semester, and the senior year of the Conservatory of Music is different from other colleges in that there are not many exams, but the evaluation at the end of the semester is also very important.

For a whole week, Ning Xi was as busy as clockwork.

On Friday, after finishing the school exam, she performed at the theater in the evening, and when she returned to the apartment she rented with Zuo Yiyi, it was already late at night.

I didn't want to make a noise until Zuo Yiyi rested, so I opened the door lightly and walked into the living room.

Seeing Fu Jinnian standing up from the sofa, she stopped in surprise.

"Brother Jinnian...... How did you get here? ”

Fu Jinnian glanced her up and down, his eyes fell on the girl's face that was red from the cold, he frowned, and a look of guilt flashed in his eyes.

"I ...... I only found out today that you and Yiyi live together. ”

Ning Xi put down the piano and bag in his hand, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"It's a pity, this time Fu Lu brought great news." Zuo Yiyi rushed over with a smile and grabbed her arm, "Your brother's case is about to be retried." ”

"Really?" Ning Xi looked at Fu Jinnian with some uncertainty.

Fu Jinnian took out the court notice from his bag and handed it to her.

He took off his gloves and took the notice with both hands.

On the thin A4 paper, there are only three lines in total, which is a notice about the retrial of the case.

It was just three lines, and Ning Xi read it four or five times, and then stared at the red court chapter below for a while, and then dared to believe that he was not dreaming.

"Because this case is serious and the top is also very important, it is requested to be tried as much as possible, and the trial will be held next Friday." Fu Jinnian tugged at the corners of his lips, "These days, we have sorted out all the information and evidence, and I will personally appear in court to help Ning Chen defend when the time comes." ”

"Thank you." Ning Xi held the notice, her fingers trembling, "Thank you for your help, you wait for me." ”

Walking into the room quickly, she took out the prize check she had won before from the drawer, picked it up in both hands, and sent it to Fu Jinnian.

"It's your lawyer's fee."

"No, I can't take this." Fu Jinnian was willing to ask for it, and was busy pushing the check back, "This ...... I owe it to you in the first place. ”

Ning Xi thought that he was talking about Fu Jinxi, and raised his face.

"One yard is one yard, public is public, private is private, you are my brother's lawyer, I should have paid your lawyer's fees."

Fu Jinnian's heart became more and more guilty, "It's a pity, I'm ...... Can I talk to you alone? ”

Knowing that he would definitely talk to her about Fu Jinxi, Ning Xi shook his head lightly.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little tired, if it weren't for my brother's case, I would have liked to rest early."

Hearing the rejection in her tone, Fu Jinnian shook his head guiltily.

"Good...... Then I'll go first. ”

Placing the check on the table, he turned to leave.

Ning Xi chased after him and put the check in his hand.

"If you don't issue this check, I'll have to find another lawyer when I go to court."

Fu Jinnian looked at the check in his hand, and then looked at Ning Xi's face.

He knew very well in his heart that with Ningxi's personality, if he didn't accept this check, the other party might really change to another lawyer.

Ning Chen's previous abandonment of the appeal was entirely because of Fu Jinxi's fault.

In this trial, there can be no more extraneous complications in any case.

Right now, he is the one who is most likely to help Ning Chen.

If he told Ning Xi all the truth now, the other party would definitely refuse him to appear in court.

It was not easy for Jiang Lu to get these materials, and he couldn't let this case go any further.

Gritting his teeth, Fu Jinnian stuffed the check into his backpack.

"Okay, then let's ...... See you at trial. ”

"Xiao Xi, don't go downstairs just when you come back, I'll send the lawyer."

Zuo Yiyi took the coat and sent Fu Jinnian downstairs.

"Fu Jin, I want to ask, what is the winning rate of Brother Ning Chen's case?"

"From the evidence we have at hand, it should be more than ninety percent." Fu Jinnian replied.

"That's good." Zuo Yi tucked his coat together, "I have one more thing I want to ask you." Xiao Xi is preparing to divorce Jiang Lu, do you know? ”

Fu Jinnian was stunned, "What are you talking about, they ...... Getting a divorce? ”

"It seems that you are also kept in the dark."

Zuo Yiyi shook her head with a sneer in the cold winter night.

"I'm not afraid to be honest with you, the reason why they divorced was all because of your sister Fu Jinxi.

Fu Lu, I have great respect for you, your professionalism, and your personality.

Ning Xi is grateful for everything you helped Ning Chen do, I didn't go to Fu Jinxi to theorize, and she didn't let me go, I know she didn't want you to embarrass you.

But, as her friend, I can't swallow this breath, I hope Fu Lu will tell your sister that being a junior is the most fucking shameless, don't think that she can bully others casually if she plays with crying, making trouble and hanging herself. ”
