"However, he still has the evidence about my dad. When the time comes, he will definitely use it to threaten me. It's better to rescue my dad first."
She took another sip of milk.
"Is it the case where the building collapsed due to a fight between workers? He seems to have another purpose."
"No matter what his purpose is, when it comes to court, it's not him who has the final say."
"That's true." Jiang Nan curled his lips, "We have to find a way to collect the evidence to send him to jail before he is defenseless."
"Few people in the real estate business have clean hands," Huo Yunzhou said.
In order to get projects, land, or various approvals, it is impossible for them not to send some food rations.
"Well, I'll leave it to you to check his connections." She suddenly hugged his arm and said with a smile.
If she went to check, she might not be able to find it, and even if she did, it would probably be difficult to get evidence. She rarely had contact with people in the officialdom, and this man had a very strong network.
"Weren't you very stubborn before, and now you want my help? Besides, I'm not your fiancé, why do I need to help you so much?"
Huo Yunzhou snorted coldly and took her hand away.
Jiang Nan suddenly went over and sat on his lap, put his arms around his neck and shook him.
"I've explained to you about Lu Chengfeng. He is not my fiancé. My mother asked me to go on a blind date. I just asked Mr. Lu to pretend."
"I can help you to this extent, and I have done my best. You can handle the rest by yourself."
Jiang Nan immediately sat in his arms again, picked up his knife and fork, cut a small piece, and fed it to his mouth:
"Eat..."
Seeing that she was so knowledgeable, Huo Yunzhou ate the steak she fed.
"By the way, someone seemed to be following and monitoring me a few days ago. Yesterday I got into your car and stayed at your place again at night. Will they already know about it?" she asked worriedly.
"Three times the price, remember to transfer the money to me." He had asked the person monitoring her to act as a double agent.
"I've already slept with you, and you still want my money?" Jiang Nan glanced.
"Aren't you very generous in giving out red envelopes?" Huo Yunzhou looked at her and asked.
"I did it for the sake of face..."
…
Huasheng Law Firm.
"Why did your phone suddenly turn off last night?" Lu Chengfeng asked, standing in her office with a cup of coffee.
"Oh...the power is out." Jiang Nan watered the flowerpot and made an excuse.
He nodded and asked again,
"What's going on with your dad's case? Are you sure you can clear his name?"
"I have gone to see my aunt and her family. They are surprisingly united now. I can't think of any breakthrough at all..."
Jiang Nan put down the kettle in his hand, with a sad look on his face.
It wasn't that she was hiding it from him on purpose, it was just that she and Huo Yunzhou's plan couldn't be known to anyone.
"Take your time, don't be impatient, just let me know if you need my help." Lu Chengfeng patted her shoulder and said concernedly.
"Yeah." She nodded.
Lu Chengfeng looked at the too conspicuous hickey on her neck, and a hint of ambiguity flashed in his eyes, reminding her:
"By the way, remember to take care of the red mark... on your neck. It's not good for customers to see it."
He touched his neck unconsciously: "Huh? Oh...it must have been bitten by a mosquito. We'll deal with it later."
No wonder when she came to the law firm in the morning, her colleagues looked at her and smiled so obscenely——
Lu Chengfeng left her office without exposing it.
Jiang Nan immediately went to take a look in the makeup mirror. Sure enough, there were several strawberry marks on her neck. She didn't pay attention to looking in the mirror in the morning.
Did that man do it on purpose?
…
In the evening, Xue Shaoliang asked Jiang Nan to go out for a drink. In order not to be suspected by him, she agreed.
She opened the private room door and saw that there were many men and women sitting in the room, which was full of smoke and chaos.
Seeing her standing at the door, Xue Shaoliang immediately walked over and apologized:
"I originally wanted to ask you out alone tonight, but I have an impromptu social gathering. Wouldn't you mind?"
"I mind a bit. I don't like sitting with strangers."
Jiang Nan has a very straightforward temperament. He glanced at the people in the room and felt a little disgusted.
"Then let's go to the private room next door?" he asked.
Just you and him? Wouldn't that be more embarrassing? She has nothing to talk about with him!
"No, this is it." She walked in.
Xue Shaoliang took her to sit in the middle of the sofa.
The eyes of a group of middle-aged men in the private room were attracted by Jiang Nan, who was dressed in a black suit and had long hair shawl. He was bright, dashing and proud.
She obviously didn't show anything, but she was still very attractive.
"I have admired the name of Lawyer Jiang for a long time, and I finally have the opportunity to meet him in person tonight. Lawyer Jiang is here to give you a toast. You won't be disrespectful, right?"
Boss Wang glanced at her chest with his squinting eyes, picked up the whiskey bottle, poured her half a glass, and deliberately filled up his own glass, which seemed very sincere.
Pick it up and hand it to her.
Jiang Nan didn't know this man at all, but it was hard to refute other people's face. She took the wine glass and said:
"Sorry, I'm not a very good drinker, so I can only express my feelings."
When she was about to drink, Xue Shaoliang took her glass with a considerate look:
"Lawyer Jiang is my friend, and I called him here. Boss Wang, I drank this glass of wine for her."
After saying this, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
"If Mr. Xue drinks instead of Lawyer Jiang, why would he need three glasses?" He was half serious and half joking.
"Okay." Xue Shaoliang smiled helplessly, picked up the wine bottle, poured half of the glass, and drank it all in one gulp.
Pour another glass and drink it all in one gulp!
"I have never seen Mr. Xue hold up a drink for a woman. You must like Lawyer Jiang, right?" Boss Wang asked deliberately with a smile.
"No, we are just friends now." Xue Shaoliang glanced at her and said.
Jiang Nan smiled lightly and silently cursed: Is this man trying to win my favor and trust?
As soon as the two of them sat down, other bosses came over to toast Jiangnan wine. Xue Shaoliang still didn't let her drink and blocked them all.
"Thank you, are you okay?" Jiang Nan asked.
"I'm just a little drunk, it's okay." He said leaning on the sofa.
"By the way, you asked me out for a drink tonight. Do you have anything to talk about?" she asked.
"It's nothing, I just want to get to know Lawyer Jiang better. You are the smartest and most charming woman I have ever seen."
Xue Shaoliang turned to look at her, still speaking sincerely.
Jiang Nan gave a stiff smile, is this man trying to tease me?
“I also think I’m very attractive, but I still don’t have a boyfriend!
My dad has been urging me to get married, saying that once I get married, he will hand over all the shares and the group to my husband to take care of. He is getting older and is unable to do many things.
Now, my dad definitely has no chance of seeing me get married. "She sighed.
Xue Shaoliang pushed up the glasses on his face and said with deep sympathy,
"I've also heard about your dad, but as a lawyer, you should be able to find a way to clear your dad's suspicion, right?"
