Marrying into a rich family again, the road to becoming a partner

Li Wenjie's case is in court again.

In court, prosecutor Zhang Yifan was cross-examining his witnesses.

"Mr. Sheffi, please introduce yourself to the judge."

"My name is Xie Fei, and I am now the general manager of Luheng Investment Company."

"Do you know the defendant Li Wenjie?"

Xie Fei nodded, "We know him. Li Wenjie is the bodyguard and driver of Zhao Bin, the former general manager of our company. Sometimes, he also serves as my driver."

"Mr. Xie Fei, did the defendant Li Wenjie ever call you on the day of the incident?"

Hearing Zhang Yifan's question, Le Yun raised her head alertly. The lawyer's intuition told her that Xie Fei's next answer might be very detrimental to Li Wenjie.So, she reacted quickly:

"Objection! Your Honor, this phone call was not mentioned in Sheffi's previous testimony to the police."

"Yes, your honor." Zhang Yifan took over before the judge made a ruling, "After the police inquiry, my witness Mr. Xie Fei remembered some details that he had not thought of before."

"Details?" Le Yun's tone was obviously questioning and ironic. She looked at the judge with protest and expectation.However, things went counter to expectations and the judge said:

"Prosecutor, please continue."

Le Yun had no choice but to sit down.

"Mr. Xie Fei, please explain to the court the specific circumstances of Li Wenjie's call to you." Zhang Yifan looked at Le Yun proudly and continued to cross-examine the witness.

"Before the incident, Li Wenjie called me. His tone was very frustrated at the time. He wanted me to intercede with Zhao Bin and return the money he invested in the company to him. Because his child was about to be born and he needed money. "

"How do you do it?"

"I tried to comfort him and calm him down."

"Did what you did work?"

"Not at all." Xie Fei shook his head and said, "Li Wenjie became more and more excited. He said that Zhao Bin was a liar and that he was going to confront Zhao Bin. I explained to him that we are actually all victims. But he was completely I couldn't listen and hung up the phone. Not long after, I heard the news about Zhao Bin's accident."

Li Wenjie looked stunned in the dock. He grabbed a piece of paper on the table, quickly wrote a few words on it, and handed it to Le Yun.

Le Yun took it and looked at it. What Li Wenjie wrote was: He is lying.She looked at Li Wenjie, who looked stunned, and then looked up at the well-dressed Xie Fei on the witness stand.She looked at Li Wenjie and nodded, signaling him to stay calm and be patient.

At this point, the judge adjourned the case.

Le Yun turned around and said to An Daiqing behind her: "Now, the suspect we are looking for can be identified as one person."

After returning to the office and sitting down, after a morning of court session, her brain began to feel a little tired due to the rapid operation. However, at this moment, Le Yun was not in the mood to rest at all.

Xie Fei's testimony was very unfavorable to Li Wenjie.Are his words true or false?After thinking for a moment, the lawyer's professionalism and intuition made her inclined to believe Li Wenjie's words - Xie Fei was committing perjury.

However, because of Sheffy's testimony, they were indeed passive.Next, how to break the situation?

Le Yun leaned back on the chair, raised her head, crossed her hands, closed her eyes, and began to think.

She remembered what Chen Zonghan had said to her before: the more complicated the situation, the more it should return to the essence.She sat up straight, determined to read the file and the information collected by An Daiqing from the beginning, trying to find a breakthrough.

The mobile phone on the table began to vibrate. Le Yun glanced down and frowned.

The screen displayed: Caller Zhang Xiao.

Since that day's showdown in the apartment, she and Zhang Xiao have not seen each other again. Not only that, except for some necessary contacts that cannot be avoided, there are no phone calls or WeChat messages.Le Yun thought that the two of them had reached a tacit understanding, and since she was busy with Li Wenjie's case, she didn't have to think about her troubles for the time being. Le Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Xiao suddenly called me. Is there something I need to contact him about?Despite some hesitation, Leyun still answered the phone.

"Hey, wife." Zhang Xiao's voice came over, with the same gentleness and magnetism, but when he called out the word "wife", his tone was obviously tentative.

Sure enough, Le Yun frowned, but she didn't want to argue because of this, so she continued to look at the file in her hand and asked, "What's the matter?"

Seeing that Le Yun did not object to the title "wife", Zhang Xiao felt a little confident:

"I've been busy with things in the company these days," Zhang Xiao hesitated for a moment, then said cautiously: "I was afraid of making you angry, so I didn't bother you. How have you been lately? Have you eaten well? You have a bad stomach. , no matter how busy you are at work, you must remember to eat well, otherwise you will get a stomachache. Also, I got a card for you at the spa downstairs in your company. If you sit for a long time and your waist feels uncomfortable, go there when you have time after get off work. Massage, relax. And…”

"Is this what you called to say?" Le Yun interrupted Zhang Xiao before he could finish.Inappropriate caring and thoughtfulness sound more like over-exerted sarcasm and jokes.

Zhang Xiao was at a loss for words and struggled for a moment before he could only say: "Honey, I want you to attend the charity dinner on the weekend we talked about before."

charity dinner?

Le Yun put down the information in her hand, raised her head, and searched for information about the charity dinner in her mind.Soon, she remembered.Zhang Xiao said before that this was a charity fundraising dinner organized by the Bincheng Entrepreneurs Association for seriously ill children.At that time, she promised to accompany Zhang Xiao to participate, but now...

Seeing that Leyun didn't speak, Zhang Xiao guessed what she was thinking.

"Honey," his tone was extremely sincere, "I really want you to go to this dinner party with me. Just pretend it's not for me, but for the children in need, okay?"

Indeed, this charity dinner was the largest in Bincheng in recent years. When she learned that Zhang Xiao had been invited, Le Yun was as excited as he was.On the one hand, Le Yun watched Zhang Xiao go from being an unknown person to becoming a guest of the Bincheng Entrepreneurs Association. This was undoubtedly an affirmation of his entrepreneurial success. On the other hand, she also wanted to open her eyes. Not only did she have You may get to know some potential clients of the law firm, and you may be able to contribute a small amount to the fund-raising that night.

"Wife..." Zhang Xiao's voice became lower and lower. It felt like a puppy begging for its owner. "The invitation says that we are invited to participate together. Even if it is, please help me... , okay?"

Listening to Zhang Xiao's pleading, Le Yun felt sad, and her heart softened. She slowly uttered one word:

"it is good."

"Then I'll pick you up when the time comes." Le Yun finally agreed, and Zhang Xiao's tone instantly became much lighter.

"No," Le Yun refused, "When the time comes, let's meet directly at the dinner party."

"That's okay." Zhang Xiao's voice was a little disappointed.But at this moment, he has no more extravagance.He knew that according to Le Yun's personality, it would be very difficult for him to agree to participate.

If you want to speed, you can't reach it.

He understands this truth.

"Then make sure you rest and don't be too tired. I...I'll call you again." Zhang Xiao wisely ended the call.

Putting down the phone, Le Yun stared at the phone screen for a long time.The dam that I had finally built these days began to collapse bit by bit, and pain invaded me.Le Yun shook her head, forced herself to put the phone aside, picked up the file and continued reading.

At this time, there were several knocks on the office door.

"Hi, do you have time?" The door was pushed open a crack, and An Daiqing's head stuck in.

"what's up?"

Le Yun smiled and was amused by her playful look.

"Regarding Li Wenjie's case," An Daiqing had already walked to Le Yun's desk as she spoke, "I went to Luheng and talked to Zhao Bin's assistant Qiao Panpan. She complained to me about being excluded in the company. I I have learned that after Xie Fei succeeded Zhao Bin as the general manager of Luheng Investment Company, the company underwent a major personnel shakeup, and almost everyone related to Zhao Bin was removed or replaced. I will continue to investigate this matter, guess what? What did I find?"

"You mean..." Le Yun seemed to understand the meaning of An Daiqing's words.

"That's right. I checked the situation of Zhao Bin and Xie Fei carefully and found that not long before the incident, the two were involved in a financial fraud case and might be prosecuted by the Commercial Crime Investigation Bureau. Moreover, their personal The bank accounts are currently frozen. On the surface, Zhao Bin and Xie Fei claimed that they would advance and retreat together and deal with the lawsuit together. But in fact, they both had their own agendas and wanted to put all the blame on the other person. .”

"No wonder..." Le Yun nodded and said to An Daiqing, "Li Wenjie told me that in the previous trial, Xie Fei had been lying when he was questioned by Zhang Yifan. It seems that he wanted to fulfill Li Wenjie's of murder. Could it be that he is the real murderer?"

"It's very reasonable, very possible." An Daiqing nodded.

"But there is no conclusive evidence in any of this. It is impossible to clear Li Wenjie from suspicion based on our guesses and reasoning alone. We need conclusive evidence."

"Don't worry, I will continue to follow up." After An Daiqing finished speaking, she sat down on the sofa and said, "Now that the official business is over, let's talk about private matters."

Le Yun smiled, stood up, poured a cup of coffee for An Daiqing, placed it in front of her, poured herself a cup, and sat on the sofa next to An Daiqing.

"Ms. An, do you have anything private to tell me?"

"Has there been any progress between you and Zhang Xiao?" An Daiqing's tone was full of concern.

Leyun's heart felt hot, and she shook her head.

Usually the coffee ground from this coffee bean is very mellow, but for some reason, it felt so sour in her mouth today, and she couldn't help but frown.

"Don't push yourself too hard and force yourself to make a decisive decision. If you want to delete files when playing games, you will be reluctant to part with the time and effort you put in, not to mention that this is a real marriage of more than ten years."

"Sometimes it's ironic to think about it," Le Yun said with a self-deprecating smile. "I have been a lawyer for so long, and I have fought a lot of divorce cases. I have watched all kinds of family ethics dramas, and every time I advise the parties to divorce. Just cut it off. Only when it’s your turn will you realize how difficult it is. Do you know——”

Le Yun rested her head on the backrest and said quietly: "After I knew that Zhang Xiao and Fan Ying betrayed me, I decided to divorce almost immediately. I hired Chen Zonghan as my lawyer, and I just wanted to divorce Zhang immediately. Akatsuki drew a clear line. But he asked me to calm down and not be impulsive.

Until now, I have found that the longer time passes, the more hesitant I seem to be.I told myself that I should be busy with Li Wenjie's case now and wait until the case is completely completed before making a decision.In fact, to put it bluntly, these are all excuses.But, I know myself.It is absolutely impossible for me to forgive him and accept him.Once a rift occurs, it exists forever.Even if it's repaired on the surface, I can't get over this hurdle in my heart. "

Le Yun sighed, "Since I can't take it up and can't put it down for the time being, let's put it aside for a while. Fortunately, I still have a job, so I don't have to sit around and think about these things all day long."

"Not only do you have a job, but there are also many people who care about you."

"Like you?" Le Yun said with a smile, picked up the coffee cup in her hand, and touched it with An Daiqing.

"Of course I am one of them. However, when I say people who care about you, I mean something else." An Daiqing smiled mysteriously.

"Who?" Le Yun asked casually.

"Our boss - Chen, Zong, Han."

"Oh, you're talking about him." Le Yun nodded and said jokingly, "Of course, in addition to exploiting my surplus value, capitalists also need to cover up some tenderness occasionally."

Seeing that Le Yun's "dumb aptitude" didn't understand the mystery behind her words, An Daiqing decided to go straight to the point.

"You don't feel like he likes you?"

Le Yun glanced at An Daiqing disapprovingly, "How is it possible? I'm a married woman, and I'm about to become a divorced young woman. Chen Zonghan is one of the top figures in the lawyer circle, and there are countless young beauties watching around him. How could it be possible for me to have any influence on me?" Interested. I understand that as a friend you want to make me happy and comfort me that 'I still have a market', but can you also make up a lie that is more reliable and more credible?"

"Who wants to comfort you!" An Daiqing rolled her eyes at her, "I'm serious." She leaned closer and said, "He has asked me about your situation several times recently. I can see that he is particularly concerned."

"This is not surprising! He is my senior brother and the master who guides me single-handedly. Even if these are put aside, I am still a senior lawyer in the law firm. As the boss, he cares about the employees who can make money for him. Isn’t this also a matter of course?”

"Hey, Leyun, are you questioning my IQ, or do you not believe in my observation skills?"

"I don't have time to listen to you making fun of me."

While talking, assistant Xiaoxiao knocked on the door and came in.

"Lawyer Le, Dai Qing, Mr. Chen wants you to go to his office."

In the Hitotsubashi Group conference room, Lu Yin’s assistant Wu You had just introduced the agenda and related requirements for the weekend charity dinner.

"Do you have any questions or suggestions about this charity dinner?" Lu Yin looked around and glanced at everyone present.

No one speaks.

"Since everyone has no objections, let's implement it according to the documents. This dinner is hosted by the Bincheng Entrepreneurs Association, with our company as the exclusive sponsor. This is a good public relations and publicity opportunity, and I hope everyone can give it their best Let's go ahead and make no mistakes. Let's adjourn the meeting." Lu Yin waved his hand, stood up and walked out of the conference room.

Go back to your office and sit down.Lu Yin had been taking the exam all morning, and Lu Yin felt a little tired at the moment.He adjusted the chair to a comfortable angle, half lying on it and half leaning on it, closing his eyes, wanting to take a short rest.

At this time, the phone rang. Lu Yin looked at the screen and quickly answered the phone with an obvious smile on his lips.

"Lu Yin, brat, how long have you been away from home for dinner?" Mrs. Lu's voice came from the phone.

"Mom, I've been busy with the charity dinner recently, and I've been in meetings just now. Well, I'll go home for dinner tonight." As he said that, Lu Yin put his hand on the collar, opened a button, and loosened the collar. loose.

"Son, we can't finish the company's work. Don't push yourself too hard and get more rest."

"Got it, Mom."

"Come back early in the evening and I'll prepare your favorite dishes."

There was a knock on the office door, and it was assistant Wu You.Lu Yin motioned for him to come in.

"Mom, I have to go to work. If you need anything, I can tell you when I get home tonight."

After the boss hung up the phone, Wu You placed a stack of printed documents on his desk.

"Mr. Lu, this is what you want, the list and basic information of the guests invited to this dinner."

"Okay, put it down. I'll take a look at it later. Don't make any other arrangements for the evening. I want to go home for dinner."

Wu Youyue nodded, checked that nothing was wrong, and then quietly stepped out.

Lu Yin rubbed the corners of his eyes, picked up the information Wu You had just sent in, and flipped through the pages.

Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by something, and he saw it read: "Zhang Xiao, general manager of Weifeng Technology Co., Ltd., and his wife Le Yun, are currently senior lawyers at Zonghan Law Firm."

Lu Yin looked at the word "Le Yun" and felt his heart sinking obviously.
