Shen Nian locked the divorce agreement in a drawer and hurriedly left home. She took a taxi and went to the CBD where Heshan Law Firm was located.
As soon as he stepped into the door of Heshan Law Firm, Shen Nian saw Lu Zhihui standing at the front desk.
He put his hands on his hips and walked back and forth near the front desk.
It was late at night and there was no one at the front desk. The empty environment allowed the sound of Lu Zhihui’s footsteps to be heard.
"Lu Lu,"
Shen Nian called out.
When Lu Zhihui saw Shen Nian coming, his eyes widened, as if his blood had returned in an instant.
"Shen Lu, you are finally here!"
Just as Shen Nian was about to say something, there was a noise coming from the direction of Lu Zhihui's office.
That was a woman's hysterical scream,
"How do you become lawyers? Is it even difficult to find a case like this? If you want to pay more, you can! I have plenty of money!"
Lu Zhihui's face became even more ugly. He moved closer to Shen Nian,
"The one inside is the daughter of the Zhou family. Her father, Zhou Ziyang, was arrested yesterday for illegally raising funds."
Zhou family?
Zhou Ziyang.
The person inside should be Zhou Xiaojing, the darling of the Zhou family. Is there really no place in life where we don’t meet?
Shen Nian sneered in his heart.
It seemed that he had a conflict with the Zhou family today.
Lu Zhihui clasped his hands together and begged Shen Nian.
"Shen Lu, please. Miss Zhou named the lawyer who handled the Huihuang Group case the year before last. You won that case so beautifully! It has long been a good story in the capital's legal circles."
Shen Nian looked deep into the office.
She frowned slightly. If she had known she was going to meet Zhou Xiaojing today, she shouldn't have won so beautifully in the first place.
"Please!"
Shen Nian looked at Lu Zhihui suspiciously.
"You knew I had quit the legal profession, why did you come to me? Did she promise you a high salary?"
Lu Zhihui's face looked ugly.
He lowered his voice,
"It's not about money!"
He looked around nervously, his voice as small as a mosquito.
"Have you heard of the title of Ji Banli, right? The eldest son of the Ji family in the capital, and the actual controller of Jishan International Holdings!"
When he said the words "Ji Ban Li", the corners of Lu Zhihui's mouth trembled.
Shen Nian concealed it very well, as if she had never known this person before, she asked lightly,
"So, does the quarterly banquet have anything to do with this?"
"Yes! Zhou Xiaojing is his little love..."
Everyone in the capital knew that Ji Yanli was married, but no one knew who Mr. Ji's wife was. However, everyone knows that Zhou Xiaojing is Ji Yanli's favorite.
Shen Nian smiled unexpectedly and covered his mouth, as if he had heard some terrible joke.
"No way? Miss Zhou family, do you want to be the third son?"
Lu Zhihui curled up his lips, as if you were too naive.
"So what, what is the status of Ji Yanli's Jishan Holdings? What is the status of the Zhou family's crumbling companies. Although they are all aristocratic families in the capital, there are high and low levels at the top of the pyramid."
Shen Nian let out a long breath.
"Please!"
Lu Zhihui almost knelt down.
Shen Nian had no choice but to agree, and she followed Lu Zhihui to the office. In the office, there was a bright and beautiful woman sitting with her legs crossed, looking arrogant.
"People are here?"
She raised her delicate eye makeup and glanced at Shen Nian.
Shen Nian also looked at her.
Although they have the same man, they have never met each other.
When Shen Nian and Ji Yanli got married, Ji Yanli thought the bride was embarrassed and deliberately wanted to humiliate her. Only a few people were invited to the wedding banquet.
Therefore, except for the Ji family, no one knew Shen Nian's identity and appearance, including Zhou Xiaojing.
As for Zhou Xiaojing, Ji Yanli protected her very well, and Shen Nian had never seen him.
Zhou Xiaojing glanced over with domineering eyebrows,
"Lawyer Shen, right? It's quite a grand event. I heard,"
No wonder Ji Yanli fell in love with her, but Zhou Xiaojing was a great beauty in the worldly sense. Her bright eyes and white teeth were so majestic that even Shen Nian couldn't help but admire Ji Yanli's vision.
After a short silence, Shen Nian raised his hand to interrupt Zhou Xiaojing's words.
"Miss Zhou, you are wasting your father's time."
Zhou Xiaojing choked and was about to have a seizure. She widened her eyes and glared at the woman in front of her in disbelief. No one had ever spoken to her like this before!
Shen Nian opened his eyes and then said,
"Ms. Zhou, it seems that you are not in a hurry?"
Miss Zhou Xiaojing lost her temper. She stared directly at Shen Nian with her eyes widened.
Seeing that the gun went off, Lu Zhihui started working as a secretary with a shy face.
He picked up the thick materials around Zhou Xiaojing and put them all down next to Shen Nian.
"Shen Lu, the files are all here."
Shen Nian quickly got into working mode, and she began to look through the materials carefully. She asked questions from time to time, but Zhou Xiaojing couldn't answer them at all.
It was Zhou Ziyang's secretary who kept answering, which accelerated the grading process.
More than an hour passed, Shen Nian felt a little sleepy, she stood up,
"Wait a minute, I'll go out for a moment."
As soon as Shen Nian walked out of the door, he forced himself to swallow a yawn. She quickly walked into the tea room of the law firm and made herself a cup of strong American coffee.
Leaning in front of the window, smelling the rich aroma of coffee, Shen Nian felt like he was in another world.
She hasn't been like this for over a year.
A few minutes later. Shen Nian finished cleaning the cup and walked into the office.
"Lu Lu, where is the lawyer named Shen you are looking for?"
Shen Nian's footsteps stopped suddenly, and she heard the voice of Ji Yanli.
Immediately afterwards, it was Zhou Xiaojing's voice.
"Maybe it's not possible. She was just here pretending to look through the files, and it only lasted a few minutes, and then she slipped away?!"
Zhou Xiaojing laughed contemptuously.
Lu Zhihui smiled.
"No, Shen Lu should have gone to the bathroom."
The quarter banquet ceremony's voice suddenly became colder, with a threatening tone.
"Lu Lu, you know very well how much I, Jishan Holdings, support your law firm every year. Get that lawyer back quickly. If anything goes wrong with Miss Zhou's father, your law firm will stop doing it."
Sure enough, everything about Zhou Xiaojing is important.
Shen Nian stood not far away, feeling a chill in his heart. When she was still hesitating whether to take the lawsuit, Ji Yanli now gave her the answer.
She caressed the child in her belly, turned and left Heshan Law Firm.
Ten minutes later.
Lu Zhihui searched all over Heshan Law Firm and found no sign of Shen Nian. He stood in the office and dialed Shen Nian's phone with a look of fear on his face.
"Sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off."
When Zhou Xiaojing heard the leaked phone tone, she stood up suddenly and pulled Ji Yanli's arm.
"Yanxi, this woman is so arrogant!"
Zhou Xiaojing burst into tears.
Ji Banli comforted her gently,
"If it doesn't work, let's find someone else. There are plenty of lawyers, so why does it have to be her?"
Zhou Xiaojing's eyes were filled with tears.
"Yanli, she is the one who helped Huihuang Group win the lawsuit!"
Hearing this reason, Ji Yanli was relieved.
He had heard about the Brilliant Group case.
At that time, Huihuang's boss was also involved in illegal fund-raising, and the case was almost certain to lose. Because of the participation of a mysterious lawyer, they not only won, but also asked the supervisory authority to apologize and admit their mistakes.
"Only with her can my father clear his name! No other lawyer can do it! Yanli, go find her quickly!"
Zhou Xiaojing was so emotional that he couldn't take a breath and fainted in Ji Yanli's arms.
Lu Zhihui sniffed. He looked around, suddenly turned pale in fright, and pointed to the ground.
A trace of bright red blood gurgled down Zhou Xiaojing's thigh, instantly staining the carpet red.
