Chapter 877 Himself
He told me that the mysterious man was a powerful figure in the legal world, and many lawyers were forced to become his pawns. Lin Shen called me to the rooftop of the law firm. The night wind howled and messed up my hair. He lit a cigarette and said after a long time: "That man is my teacher and the one I want to defeat the most." I looked at his profile that was looming in the smoke, and suddenly realized that he taught me not only how to be an excellent lawyer, but also how to uphold justice in the dark. As time went by, my reputation in the legal world became louder and louder. But behind every victory, there are countless sleepless nights. The relationship between Lin Shen and I has also changed subtly in fighting side by side again and again. Sometimes, he would quietly order a midnight snack for me when he was working overtime; sometimes, I would make him a cup of strong tea when he was tired. However, the peaceful days were soon broken. The law firm suddenly received a case that shocked the whole city. The defendant was a high-ranking official who was accused of corruption, bribery and abuse of power. What's more tricky is that the defense lawyer for this official is Lin Shen's teacher. The investigation process of the case was full of difficulties and obstacles. Witnesses disappeared, evidence was destroyed, and even unidentified people called me and Lin Shen in the middle of the night to threaten us. But we did not back down, but became more determined to find the truth. During an undercover visit, I accidentally discovered an important clue, but I had a car accident on the way back. When I woke up, I was lying on the hospital bed, and Lin Shen was guarding the bed, his eyes full of fatigue and worry. "Why are you working so hard?" he asked. I smiled and said, "Because I am a lawyer, and the mission of a lawyer is to pursue the truth." On the day of the trial, the court was crowded inside and outside. Lin Shen's teacher was still elegant, but there was murderous intent in his words. But we were already prepared, every piece of evidence was repeatedly verified, and every argument was watertight. When we presented the last key piece of evidence, the defendant's face finally changed. In the end, justice was served. Lin Shen's teacher found us, and this time, there was no arrogance in his eyes, "I lost, but I don't regret losing to you." His back as he turned and left looked a little lonely. After this case, Lin Shen and I have grown a lot. We decided to set up a public interest lawyer team dedicated to speaking for the disadvantaged groups, and to protect the rights and interests of more people with the power of law. In this process, I gradually understood that to be a lawyer, one must not only have strong professional ability, but also have a heart that upholds justice. Many years later, when I stood on the podium and received the trophy for "Best Public Interest Lawyer of the Year", I saw Lin Shen smiling at me in the audience. At that moment, I knew that all the efforts and dedication were worth it. And our story will continue to write a new chapter in this legal storm full of challenges and opportunities. She was so angry that she vomited blood and fainted. She subconsciously touched the pillow and touched the corner of a hardcover book - it was "The Supreme of the Heavenly Realm". Turning over the title page, bloody handwriting suddenly appeared in the blank space: Change Su Wanqing's fate before returning to reality. Memories came like a tide. In the original novel, in order to get Xiao Yichen, Su Wanqing first poisoned Ye Qingyao's tea, bribed a killer to kill her on the way, and finally even offered her soul to make a deal with the leader of the Netherworld Cult. At this moment, there is less than half a month left before the first frame-up of the heroine in the plot. "Why is it so noisy outside?" Lin Xia pretended to be calm, but her voice couldn't stop trembling. Before she finished speaking, the carved wooden door was pushed open with a "creak", and the servant in the moon-white suit poked his head in: "Miss, Mr. Xiao is here, saying that there is something important to discuss..." The air froze instantly. Lin Xia's knuckles were white as she grabbed the brocade quilt. In the novel, the first time Xiao Yichen came to the door was to warn Su Wanqing not to pester her again. She took a deep breath and adjusted the jade hairpin in her hair in front of the bronze mirror. The woman in the mirror had willow eyebrows and almond eyes, and the flower ornaments on her forehead were so gorgeous that they were shocking, just like the "femme fatale" described in the book. As they walked through the winding corridor, Lin Xia's embroidered shoes stepped on the bluestone slabs, making a crackling sound. Under the sycamore tree in the front yard, a figure dressed in white stood with his hands behind his back, and the dragon-patterned jade pendant on his waist shone coldly in the sun. The moment Xiao Yichen turned around, Lin Xia's breath stagnated - his sword-like eyebrows, star-like eyes, and high nose bridge were exactly the same as the male protagonist in the novel illustrations, but the look he gave her was three times colder than the description in the book. "Miss Su, what is your intention in repeatedly sending love letters to my house?" Xiao Yichen's voice was like a sword tempered with ice, and every word was heart-piercing. The guards behind him held the hilt tightly, as if if Su Wanqing dared to say no, she would be taken down immediately. Lin Xia bowed, and her peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the maid eavesdropping in the corner. She suddenly remembered the details in the book: if she argued with Xiao Yichen at this moment, these maids would exaggerate the conversation and pass it to Ye Qingyao's ears, which would become a handle to frame her in the future. "Mr. Xiao has misunderstood." She lowered her eyes and spoke softly, "Wanqing was ignorant in the past. Now that she knows that you and Miss Ye are in love, she will naturally not bother you anymore." Xiao Yichen tightened his hand holding the folding fan, and the fan bones made a slight "click" sound. In his cognition, Su Wanqing was notoriously difficult to deal with. She confessed to him in public at a poetry meeting last month. Today, she looked so well-educated and well-mannered, which made him a little wary. "I hope Miss Su will keep her word." He snorted coldly and left with a flick of his sleeves. The wind from the corner of his clothes overturned the teacup on the stone table. The tea meandered on the blue bricks like a river, reflecting Lin Xia's pale face. Xiao Cui timidly handed over the handkerchief: "Miss, are you really going to give up Mr. Xiao?" She looked at Xiao Yichen's back as he walked away, and her nails dug deep into her palm. The ending of Su Wanqing in the original novel was still vivid in her mind. Not only did she have to stay away from the male protagonist, but she also had to stop the first frame-up plan within half a month. As night fell, Lin Xia sat alone on the terrace of Qiwu Garden. The lights of the capital city in the distance fell like stars, and the sound of the night watchman's clappers came from the city wall. She stroked the novel in her arms, and suddenly a yellowed letter fell between the pages, with cinnabar writing on it: Tomorrow at 9:00 pm, someone is waiting for you at Yuelai Inn in the west of the city. The cool breeze rolled up the letter, and Lin Xia watched it disappear into the night, her heartbeat suddenly speeding up. In the original work, Su Wanqing had never been to Yuelai Inn. Is this an opportunity to change her fate, or a new crisis? She clenched the jade pendant around her waist, which was a relic left by the original owner's mother, and it was faintly hot at this moment. In the sound of the night watch, Lin Xia spread out the rice paper and drew the first symbol on the paper with a hairpin dipped in cinnabar. Since God gave her a chance to live again, she insisted on taking a different path in this male-oriented cool novel. Outside the window, dark clouds gradually covered the moon, and a rainstorm was about to come.
