Chapter 1847
After Fu’s headquarters moved to the capital, the old mansion has been idle, even the second uncle they do not often go back, Fu Shen Yan is so busy, actually in the two places back and forth so often.
The next consciousness will frown more tightly, no wonder this period of time Fu Shen Yan often inexplicably can not be contacted, it seems to have nothing to do with this matter.
The answer, I think, is hidden in the old mansion.
Seeing that I was deep in thought, the man reminded me again, “My reward applies to investigating Fu Shen Yan’s whereabouts, if you want to know what’s going on in the mansion, that’s a different price.”
“Understood, I will personally handle these matters, you just continue to follow Fu Shen Yan.” It wasn’t that he was worried about the money, it was just that the old mansion wasn’t a dangerous situation, if there were really some unknown secrets inside, there was no need to let too many outsiders know.
The man nodded, didn’t answer again, and with a sidelong glance at Miller, he got up and walked out.
I was just about to open my mouth to call the man to a halt and ask for more details when Miller suddenly spoke up, “Boss.”
I sat back down on the sofa with a puzzled look on my face.
“The capital has its forces, not our territory, and it’s not a good place to throw your weight around.”
After thinking about this explanation, it made sense, as spying is something that should be left to people with little presence, so I simply pulled away from the topic, “Book two tickets to Jiangcheng, you can accompany me.”
“No problem.” Miller nodded respectfully.
Just as I finished speaking, I received an unfamiliar phone call.
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with a gruff voice, “Are you Shen Shu, Attorney Shen?”
“It’s me, is something wrong?” I didn’t remember meeting a man with such a gregarious personality other than Qin Baiwan.
“This is the Chengnan Police Station, your client is suspected of criminal assault and has been brought under our control, you’ll have to come over.” So it was someone from the police station.
This is a period of time is to take a few economic disputes in the relationship, but both sides are dignified people, have been doing their best to negotiate, but do not just leave face, not to the point of using force to solve.
I couldn’t really remember who it was for a moment, “Excuse me, is it convenient to ask who is being detained?”
There was a pause on the other side of the phone and the voice of a police officer asking for information came through, “Name.”
Then a droning male voice came over the receiver, “Zuo Xicheng.”
Zuo Xicheng?
That’s not a common surname in the capital.
I was pretty sure the client in question didn’t have it.
However, the policeman didn’t give me time to explain, “Do you hear me? Get your ass over here.”
After saying that, he simply dropped the phone.
The lawsuit against Qin Baiwan had made the firm famous in the capital, and it was understandable that those people would mention Lu Wenfei’s name when they had committed a crime, but why would they come to me, a new lawyer with neither strength nor fame?
I didn’t want to have too much contact with such clients, so I didn’t take it seriously, but the police station called twice in a row in the afternoon, so I had to take the time to go there.
As a lawyer, it is important to get in and out of the police station and to have a good relationship with the police, so I couldn’t let an unwarranted phone call ruin my reputation.
The temporary detention point was set up on the right side of the office hall, and as soon as I entered, I could see clearly that only a young man was being held inside, his face bruised and battered, presumably from an altercation.
Although his hair was also messed up, he was young and had delicate features, and it was not difficult to see his original handsome appearance, which was quite a good match for the name Zuo Xicheng.
Chapter 1848
Looking at each other for a couple of seconds, I was even more convinced that I had never crossed paths with this man.
“You’re the lawyer representing this guy?” The voice was recognisable as the officer who had called me, “What took you so long?”
“There’s been a delay.” I replied with a smile, “May I ask what my client has committed?”
“Violent behavior.” The police officer was recording the examination form in his hand, his attitude was a bit impatient, “He beat up a man in the morning, the onlookers reported it to the police, when asked why he did it, he just said, ‘I can beat him up if I want to’, listen to this, is there any law in his eyes? ”
How angry the police are, how helpless I am.
It was obvious that this Zuo Xicheng was no good, simple-minded, limbless, when it comes to things only hands, such a person, I have never had much good feeling, as a representative lawyer, I guess I have been included in the same category of people by the police, even dislike.
As a representative lawyer, I guess I’ve been included in the same category as the police and disliked by them. I’m here now, so I have to bail people out, just for the sake of peace and quiet, I don’t want to be bombarded with calls again.
I had to get myself together before I spoke to the police in a nice way, “Excuse me, can I speak to my client first?”
It was a legal right and the police officer said nothing, nodded and let me in.
Zuo Xicheng had gotten up and walked over to the iron fence from the moment I stood at the door, and was now tinkling with smugness, a gangly smile on his face.
“Lawyer Shen, you’re here at last, bail me out, it’s too boring to stay here.” Zuo Xicheng said playfully.
Half a metre away, I stopped in my tracks and crossed my arms over my chest, sizing up this man good-naturedly.
I didn’t know if I should say he was heartless or just didn’t know what he was doing after he had moved to beat someone up and been locked up for a day, but now his eyes were still clear and sunny and full of youthful energy.
“You know me?” I asked, raising an eyebrow.
Zuo Xicheng smiled at that, “Miss Shen’s fame in the capital is so big who can’t know her, the billionaire Qin Baiwan’s recent investment case with Zhao’s group, wasn’t it you who handled it? That’s why I immediately reported your name as soon as something happened. I believe that with Miss Shen’s ability, she will be able to get me out of here, right?”
I looked at him with a smirk and didn’t answer. It was true that I had taken over the lawsuit against Qin Baiwan, but it was Lu Wenfei who argued in court, including the media interviews afterwards.
This man was only 25 or 26 years old, and he was a floundering young man who had no reason to analyse that information on his own.
The only other possibility was that he had investigated me, or that the people behind him knew me like the back of their hand.
Not wanting to waste time, I thought for a moment before simply getting to the point, “You have two choices, first, tell the truth and then leave this boring place soon, or second, prepare to spend the night here tonight.”
Zuo Xicheng didn’t answer immediately, he just stood playfully looking at me, the defiant expression on his face as if he was provoking me, he was betting that I wouldn’t leave.
Still too young, his heart was written on his face.
The words fell, and within half a minute of the confrontation across the room, I turned straight away and lifted my feet towards the outside.
Unsurprisingly, the man relented.
“I’ll say!”
I hooked my lips into a smile and stopped where I was, not looking back for a second.
“I’m Mofilin’s boyfriend.”
