Chapter 139: Hire a Lawyer
e of reality, perhaps comforting her, or maybe even a silent apology for pulling her into this. 。Shu Tinglan silently returned his hand, also grasping his wrist, indicating that she was fine. 。Silent...From the moment he first discovered the truth, but chose not to tell her, opting for secrecy, his stance had become very clear. She was, indeed, still far too naive.
After listening to the sound, Shu Tinglan withdrew from the account "Pingfeng Qi," even deleting Weibo and other software. He stopped looking at the online chatter and returned to his previous lifestyle.
She told Jian that her case had been filed and the court had accepted it quickly, but she was not a litigation lawyer herself. She needed to find a professional for such matters. She was considering whether to hire a lawyer from Hongzheng Law Firm or another firm; each option had its own pros and cons. Hongzheng Law Firm was very strong and professional in litigation cases, with a higher chance of winning, but if she chose them, her identity would inevitably be exposed within the firm, which might affect her future work. If she hired a lawyer from another firm, she lacked confidence.
Many things, walking along the way, I got used to facing them alone, knowing that no one can rely on.
She was pacing back and forth in the living room, wearing her pajamas, deep in thought. The house, bought by Zhuo Yu'an, was large and luxurious, but she lived there alone now. It was empty and echoing. She counted the steps in her mind as she walked through the house; it took exactly one hundred steps to walk through the entire place. The vastness of the house only made her feel more alone. After some thought, she packed a few clothes and toiletries and drove back to her cozy home in the suburbs.
Unluckily, when she was going downstairs, she bumped into Wen Jian who was also out late at night. Wen Jian, seeing her in the elevator, was taken aback for a moment before walking in with a cold smile.
Wen Jian spoke first, "So late, going to Zhuoyuan Technology"
Shu Tinglan glanced at her with an emotionless expression and replied, "Which eye of yours saw me going to Zhuoyuan Technology"
Wen Jian glanced at the simple small bag in her hand, shrugged nonchalantly.
Shu Tinglan was quite impressed by her composure. She had been pulled down from her high pedestal, and at least her reputation in the industry was ruined, but she didn't seem to care at all now, just like nothing had happened.
As she was about to leave the elevator, she glanced at Shu Tinglan and said:
“You think this is enough to destroy me Shu Tinglan, who destroys whom is yet to be seen. We'll just have to wait and see.”
"Wait and see," Shu Tinglan replied. She thought, she had nothing to fear, her life had nothing left to lose.
The next day, she went to Huahua La Entertainment Company as usual. However, halfway there, she received a call from Director Xiao, asking her to return to the law firm.
Only then, when she saw Director Xiao and Zhou Ming, did she understand what Wen Jian meant by "who ruins who." In just one night, all the information about the user of "Píng Fēng Qǐ" was exposed, which meant all of Shu Tinglan's information was exposed.
Director Xiao pointed to her personal profile on the computer screen and said coldly,
"Shu Tinglan, you really know how to cause trouble for me. This is the nth time, isn't it You keep pushing our firm, Hong Zheng Law, into the spotlight."
Shutinglan thought yesterday that she had nothing left to lose, but when she thought about it carefully, she realized that she already had a lot. At least she had the trust and support of Director Xiao and Zhou Ming time and time again. She didn't want to disappoint them, but there were many things beyond her control, even things she couldn't help herself.
"How could I have hired you This is a complete disaster for my career. All the fame I've gained this year, none of it has anything to do with my profession, it's all thanks to you."
Shutinglan thought that Director Xiao was going to have another tantrum, but she just complained a bit and scolded symbolically without saying much more.
Zhou Ming didn't scold her either, he just asked.
"Has your lawyer been hired yet"
"Not yet, I talked to the lawyer from HuaKe yesterday. A classmate from university introduced me..." As she said this, her voice dropped because it was clear that Director Xiao and Zhou Ming's expressions had become unfathomable and on the verge of exploding.
Zhou Ming was truly enraged, and roared out in anger:
"Shu Tinglan... you'd rather find a lawyer from Huake than us Have you forgotten what Chief Xiao specializes in Your brain must be filled with water!"
"I just didn't want to trouble Director Xiao." If she knew her identity would be exposed so quickly, she would definitely have gone to Director Xiao for help right away.
"Aren't you causing enough trouble already" Director Xiao cursed, then continued.
"Cut the crap and give me the whole story, including all your evidence. Send it to me."
Director Xiao not only wanted to help Shu Tinglan, but this case was also very representative and challenging, so she had to take it.
"Director Xiao, Teacher Zhou, thank you both." He De He Neng, she could meet such good leaders, time and time again indulging her, helping her time and time again. Shu Tinglan was moved to tears, the anxiety and insomnia of the night were so easily dispelled by Director Xiao and Zhou Ming.
"You're welcome, just please try to cause less trouble in the future. Or at least let us know before you stir up any." Director Xiao didn't even bother to look at her, and she found it strange that she would defend Shu Tinglan like this. If any other lawyer under her caused trouble repeatedly, she would have kicked them out long ago. It was just... something about her that she favored.
Shu Tinglan then recounted the whole story in detail, including all the relevant details and submitting copies of the evidence.
< >But Zhou Ming was still very confused. < >
"There's one relationship you haven't explained, the one between you and Wen Jian. What exactly is your relationship Why did she try to kill you What was her motive"
Shu Tinglan had always avoided this question before, unwilling to share her family matters with others.
If you don't make it clear, we can't help you.
In Xiao's and Zhou Ming's guesses, it should be an emotional entanglement that caused the problem.
However, Shu Tinglan remained silent for a long time before finally speaking.
"Wen Jian and I have the same father but different mothers." It's hard to face this issue.
"Whose wife did your father marry"
"No, she's the product of my father's affair, so we've always had a strained relationship."
Director Xiao and Zhou Ming were both stunned, never having imagined there was such a connection between them. To outsiders, Wen Jian was the pampered princess of the emperor, a graduate of prestigious overseas universities, and a leading figure in her industry, while Shu Tinglan was just an unknown nobody.
"So last time, at Zuo Yuan Tech, you wanted to hit her because of this Not because of Mr. Zhuo"
"Yes, he's not involved."
Tinglan, you need to be prepared. If this goes to court, the judge might ask questions and your relationship could be exposed. Of course, we'll do our best to keep it confidential.
"Okay."
And you said Wen Jian had the intention to murder you because he controlled your thoughts, leading you to almost have an accident on the subway Where's the video on her work, she took her computer and left work early. Instead of going home, she went straight to Zhuoyuan Technology, wanting to chat with Lawyer Zhang. Lawyer Zhang was experienced and well-infor...
