Beijing, Jinshan Cemetery.

"Grandma, I will definitely show you something!" Ye Fang said while looking at the photo of Grandma Xu on the tombstone.

Wang Kai and Gu Zhuoyi bowed respectfully to Grandma Xu’s tombstone behind Ye Fang. While the three of them were remembering Grandma Xu in front of the tomb, not far away there was a middle-aged man in a suit looking at Ye Fang on the mountain. The three of them looked solemn.

Ye Fang and the others came down from the mountain and met the middle-aged man head-on. They saw the middle-aged man coming straight towards Ye Fang.

"Hello, Mr. Ye. I am a lawyer at Jingcheng Junhe Law Firm, and my name is Wang Junhe!" Wang Junhe stretched out his right hand in a formal manner.

Wang Junhe, who is in his early forties, was previously a partner at another large law firm in Beijing. Two years ago, I founded Junhe Law Firm, which is now in its start-up stage.

"Hello! Lawyer Wang!" Ye Fang held Wang Junhe's hand and continued, "I wonder if you have anything to do with me?"

"I don't know if Mr. Ye has time now. I would like to ask you to come to my law firm and have an interview with you if there is any important matter." Wang Junhe said politely.

"Talk to me, what are you talking about? I'm a small person and I probably don't have much business dealings with your law firm." Ye Fang replied.

"You'll know when you go there." Although Wang Junhe's tone was gentle, he was still persistent.

Ye Fang hesitated for a moment, and Wang Kai, who was standing next to him, said to Ye Fang, "Go ahead and call me if you need anything. Leave the rest of grandma's affairs to me."

"Go ahead. I'll cook in the yard in the evening and wait for you to come back." Gu Zhuoyi said.

"Okay." Ye Fang then followed Wang Junhe out of Jinshan Cemetery, got into a black Crown car and headed straight to the city.

Junhe Law Firm rented a part of the tenth floor of an office building in the Third Ring Road of Beijing, covering an area of ​​more than 300 square meters. There were only five lawyers in the entire law firm, including Wang Junhe. No one would have thought that Junhe Law Firm would grow into one of the top ten law firms in Beijing five years later, and the director of the law firm, Wang Junhe, would also become one of the top ten lawyers in the city.

"Sit down, Mr. Ye." Wang Junhe greeted Ye Fang and sat down on the sofa, then poured Ye Fang a cup of tea.

"Lawyer Wang, you're welcome. Can you tell me why you came to see me? Has someone sued me? Or is there some lawsuit involving me?" Ye Fang habitually thinks about things in the worst direction. , after all, he had just been released from prison for more than a year, and instinctively felt that he might be involved in a lawsuit.

"You said none of this. Here's what happened." Wang Junhe took a file bag, took out a pile of documents from the file bag, and said, "We at Junhe Law Firm are authorized by Ms. Xu Guizhi to To handle her inheritance."

Ye Fang smiled when he heard what Wang Junhe said and said, "The old lady's inheritance is more than 5 yuan in total, of which more than 3 yuan was bought for the cemetery, and more than 3000 yuan was spent on funeral arrangements. After excluding miscellaneous expenses, it is only more than 1 yuan." Yuan, is this small amount of money worth the lawyer's intervention to arrange a legal ceremony for inheritance? You're kidding me, you must be a liar. Do you want to defraud the old lady even for this small amount of money? My brother Wang Kai But the police."

Wang Junhe also laughed when he heard what Ye Fang said and said, "Don't worry, we are a regular law firm. We have already investigated the background information of you, your friends Wang Kai and Gu Zhuoyi. I want to tell you What you are saying is that we were indeed entrusted by Ms. Xu Guizhi to handle the inheritance of her estate, and the entire inheritance involved an amount of more than 500 million."

"How much?" Ye Fang stood up in shock when he heard Wang Junhe's words, and confirmed again, "Are you sure it's not 5 yuan, but five million... million?" Ye Fang's voice sounded louder on the last word. high.

In 1998, the house price in the third ring road in Beijing was about 2000 yuan. The average monthly salary of ordinary people was just over a thousand yuan. Five million was an astronomical figure in 500. It was a wealth that many people would not be able to achieve in a few lifetimes. So when Ye Fang heard When I reached this number, I immediately felt my blood surge.

But at the same time, questions also arose. Is the Xu Guizhi that Wang Junhe said was the old lady he knew who sold tea eggs and lived alone in a [-]-square-meter public house?

"Are you mistaken? Is it the same name?" Ye Fang confirmed.

"Mr. Ye, please sit down first. I know that anyone will be at a loss when they suddenly hear about inheriting this huge sum of money, but please believe that it is all true. We accepted Ms. Xu Guizhi's offer two years ago. Inheritance entrustment, she had been diagnosed with cancer at that time. She knew that her time was running out, so she entrusted our law firm to handle her estate. Speaking of which, Ms. Xu Guizhi was also the first big client after the opening of our law firm. We must all help her handle this inheritance case." Wang Junhe said solemnly.

"Are you sure I am the heir?" Ye Fang asked.

"When Xu Guizhi entrusted us to handle her estate two years ago, it was originally planned that she would donate all her estate to the Red Cross Foundation after her death, but just a month ago she suddenly came to me and asked to change the heir to Ye Fang. , that is Mr. Ye!" Wang Junhe stretched out his hand to signal Ye Fang.

"So that's it." Ye Fang murmured.

"When Ms. Xu Guizhi came to change the will document, we were also worried that her illness would affect her spirit and consciousness, so we specially invited medical experts from the Union Medical College to be present to determine Ms. Xu Guizhi's mental state. After the experts confirmed that Ms. Xu Guizhi She was conscious when changing the will and had full capacity for civil conduct. Later, we also asked Ms. Xu Guizhi to retain a video while performing the signature change procedures. She particularly emphasized that this video should be shown to you in person after her death." Wang Jun He said.

"Where is this video, I want to see it." Ye Fang said.

Then Wang Junhe took a laptop, opened a video, and said to Ye Fang, "Watch it first. I will come in after you finish it." Wang Junhe walked out of the room.

Ye Fang's eyes fell on the laptop screen, and the familiar face of Grandma Xu appeared on the screen. He heard Grandma Xu slowly and firmly speaking on the screen, "I, Xu Guizhi, now voluntarily change my inheritance heir to Mr. Ye Fang, please." Junhe Law Firm handled the relevant will formalities on our behalf. The above is my true intention. The following video is for my grandson Ye Fang to watch."

"Xiao Fang, I should have passed away by the time you see this video. One thing I didn't tell you is that I have a lot of money, which I earned from stock trading. Now I put this money I leave them all to you, because you are the only relative I have when I pass away.”

"My wife's surname is Ye, and your surname is also Ye, so I really treat you as my grandson. You are a good boy and should not be weighed down by your experience in prison. Grandma cannot help you erase your past. But I can give you a future with a higher starting point.”

"Grandma's money is all left to you. You have to make the best use of it and plan the money reasonably. Grandma, I will make money in my life but not spend it, so I have saved all this money. I can't remember exactly how much it is. It’s clear, Wang Jun and the lawyer will tell you the specific amount.”

"Grandma hopes that this money will not make you a prodigal son. You must learn to make money make money. Don't be a slave to money, but be the master of money. Xiaofang, you have this good relationship because you have a kind heart. You must feel at ease. Inherit this money and let this money be your boost. If one day you become successful, remember to tell me in front of grandma’s grave. Grandma will definitely be proud of you at that time.”

"My grandson, grandma will miss you. I hope you will get better and better and become a promising person."

The moment Ye Fang closed his notebook after watching the video, tears couldn't stop flowing down...
