"I understand this kind of thing." Yan Huaiqing, who came back from the phone, nodded after listening to Yi Mei's words, "As for the lawyer, I can't always be a screen between you. As a client, you still have to go Let's meet, otherwise the lawyer will be confused. Of course, I am still hiding the relationship between you and Zhao Kuan from the lawyer. However, it would be very bad if Zhao Kuan leaks the truth during the public trial. Once the scandal is exposed, you The trouble on the side will also involve your husband’s dignity, and it will also have a huge negative impact on your future opening of a restaurant. Therefore, if you want to keep it secret, you will naturally have to ask a lawyer to take various actions. To do this, the lawyer needs to know you personally."
"The situation has become so strange. If I had known this, I would not have taken on the task of finding a lawyer for Zhao Kuan."
"That won't work. After all, this is to protect you, not to defend Zhao Kuan. The first reason for finding a defense lawyer for Zhao Kuan is to sell him a favor and stop him from talking nonsense; the second reason is to not give Fang Da and Chen Bing These gangsters take advantage of opportunities; and the third is to ask lawyers to use court techniques to prevent your name from appearing. These are our goals, aren't they?" Yan Huaiqing sorted out the key points.
"That being said, it's still difficult."
"It was contradictory from the beginning. You wanted Zhao Kuan to stay in jail as long as possible, so you asked the lawyer not to work too hard."
“Isn’t this a fine balance to strike?”
"This matter is difficult to handle, not as simple as you think. For example, although Fang Da and Chen Bing did not mention your name when they took statements to the police, it is not certain what they will say in court. .”
"..."
"Before going to court, there is still a stage for the prosecutor to question witnesses. Fortunately, I heard from the lawyer that neither Fang Da nor Chen Bing has received a summons from the prosecutor yet. But it is difficult to say what will happen next. From now on, we must consider How to prevent it.”
"what should we do?"
"Look, you don't know, right? You've never thought that far ahead. It takes wisdom and hard work to recover the evil consequences you have sown without anyone noticing."
On the way to Xingda Hotel, Yi Mei whispered to Yan Huaiqing in the car: "I finally understand the reason why I have to see a lawyer, and I have the courage to speak out. By the way, what kind of person is that lawyer? ?”
"His name is Zuo Yi. He is only thirty-five years old. I heard that he used to work in a criminal case expert lawyer's office and set up his own business three years ago. He was introduced by my uncle, so he is definitely right. But, you There’s no need to rush to tell the truth.”
"Well, I will discuss it with you first."
"Yes, just do it."
"Also, is it the same lawyer who is going to see Fang Da and Chen Bing?"
"Ah, no. By the way, we just discussed it. As for you, you only need to say a few words to those two people, and you can just stand and talk. Once you sit down, it won't be easy to change people."
"Substitution?"
"A burly man will come to you. At this time, just walk away quickly and go to where the lawyer and I are sitting. The man will take care of the rest for us."
"Is he someone who has practiced martial arts?"
"That man is a gentleman. Don't worry if you leave it to him... It's still twenty minutes before three o'clock. If we don't arrive earlier, we'll be in trouble."
After entering the lobby of Xingda Hotel, the faces of people sitting on chairs or benches passed by Yi Mei's eyes one by one.
"Not here yet." Yi Mei whispered.
"You stay here. There is a place blocked by a partition wall. There is also a waiting room there. Of course it cannot be seen from here. The lawyer and I are there. You have to do as we said, wait. Come over as soon as that person shows up."
Yan Huaiqing left Yi Mei and left.
Yi Mei secretly observed the people around her, but she couldn't tell which one was the burly man Yan Huaiqing said. After receiving the call, that person had probably already arrived, but there were too many strong people, and a few were foreigners.
Yi Mei stood blankly facing the door. Not long after, she saw a flat face. It was Fangda who pushed the revolving door in, followed closely by the long-haired Chen Bing.
The two of them looked around the hall as they entered. Chen Bing was the first to spot Yi Mei. He poked Fonda's arm and raised his chin as if to say, "There he is." The gesture of pouting in this direction is really irritating, as if he has just met his own woman. Yi Mei approached Fang Da and Chen Bing and stood in front of them without a smile on her face. So the two of them nodded casually to Yi Mei.
"Madam, thank you so much for this morning." Chen Bing said with a grin behind Fang Da's shoulder.
Yi Mei hadn't seen Fang Da for a long time, and she also missed the night at the apartment. Fang Daren is slightly fat, tall, and has a flat face with prominent cheekbones.
"Madam, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Fangda spoke calmly, looking straight at Yi Mei with his slender eyes. It seems that this is the posture he is best at when confronting women.
"Long time no see." Yi Mei put on a posture of full alert, neither smiling nor showing any indifference.
"Zhao Kuan is in big trouble this time. Thank you for your hard work."
Although he didn't say "You must be feeling very uncomfortable", this greeting seemed to be addressed to the relatives of the person involved.
"Yeah. That's unfortunate."
Perhaps it was a psychological effect, Fangda's narrow pupils seemed to flash.
"I heard from Chen Bing that you have always been concerned about lawyers. Thank you."
"I've already invited you."
"Meetings are not allowed in the detention center right now, so we can't talk to Zhao Kuan, but I think the guy must be thanking his wife in his heart."
Fonda drew a small long note in "heart". It seemed that he wanted the other party to hear these two words clearly, to emphasize that Zhao Kuan had not said Yi Mei's name yet, to emphasize that he was grateful to Yi Mei for her kindness and sincerity in hiring a lawyer, and was trying hard not to cause trouble to her.
The burly man Yan Huaiqing mentioned will appear soon, right? Yi Mei was full of expectations, but she couldn't look around.
Judging from the expressions on Fang Da and Chen Bing's face, they seemed to want to sit down nearby and talk slowly, or they seemed to be waiting for an opportunity to take her out. Fortunately, the chairs were full of people, but there was no guarantee that no one would get up. In that case, Fonda would definitely say, "Come, let's sit." Yi Mei felt anxious. In fact, both men were looking around for a place to talk.
"Fangda, you said you have something to do with me. What is it? Before that, I want to say something. Chen Bing came to my door this morning. How can this be okay?"
"I heard Chen Bing say that it was because the phone call couldn't be made smoothly. In order not to cause trouble to you, I had to come to your door. Of course, he shouldn't do this. I also told him that he can't do this in the future. "Fonda said in a sarcastic tone.
