Life is more than just living

When Lin Zhiyuan and Liu Jingsheng saw Chen Xu suddenly running in, they both asked with concern: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Chen Xu calmed down and looked at the legal books and papers on the table. She asked, "Brother, are you trying to vent your anger on me?" The two brothers gave him an unquestionable look.

Chen Xu looked at Lin Zhiyuan and then at Liu Jingsheng, bit his lip, and said: "Brother, little brother, the next few words I say may sound a bit ungrateful, but please let me finish. Zhang Dawei did this , it is true that he has violated the law, but I don’t want you to interfere with judicial justice. The Public Security Bureau, Procuratorate and the court will decide what kind of crime he should bear. I have no objection to us handing over all the evidence we have to the police and the courts. The Procuratorate. But I don’t want to interfere too much in this matter.”

Lin Zhiyuan looked at Chen Xu in confusion, why? Chen Xu said with some difficulty: "I met you before someone supported me. Without you two, whether I could be rescued and whether I would still be alive is a question; even if I was rescued, would I be able to support me?" The only thing I rely on is the law. Zhang Dawei's family is very poor, and I think they can't even afford a good lawyer. Therefore, the eldest brother can solve the matter fairly even if he doesn't intervene. I know that your relationship with Lin Jian can be said to be good. Even if you don't have this relationship, it's okay to say something with your status and financial resources, but I don't want this. I hope that his crime will be judged by the law in a fair environment."

Lin Zhiyuan looked at Chen Xu in disbelief, "Chen Xu, do you know? The purpose of the birth of law is not fairness and justice. Don't you think you are too idealistic? What you pursue is procedural justice, that is, process justice. When I was studying law, the most familiar saying was 'based on facts and law'. This refers to procedural justice. However, when pursuing procedural justice, the result may not be what we want. I What I want is justice in the outcome: a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, this is the fairest. Don’t care about those illusory things, and don’t place your hopes on others. Do you think justice is really fair? From the initial statement of the Public Security Bureau How many people and how many things are involved in the criminal investigation, from the procuratorate's case filing to public prosecution, and then to the court's hearing to determine the crime? It's not as simple as you think! If we don't do anything, it is very likely that he will be given a light sentence and not get what he deserves. punishment."

Chen Xu didn't understand too many legal terms. She couldn't compete with Lin Zhiyuan in this regard, but she still insisted: "Brother, I'm sorry, I know you do it for my own good, but I still insist: Don't let this matter go through. Intervene as much as possible. First of all, if you interfere in this matter, it will be a false accusation, which may backfire one day in the future and may cause you endless trouble. In addition, Zhang Dawei should break the law. He should be punished, but it should be the country's legal and judicial organs that sanction him, rather than us using money, power and influence to influence him. Whether you call me idealistic or unrealistic, I insist on this; You think I don’t know what is good or bad, or what is wrong, because the victim in this matter is me, and I have the right to make a decision. Even in court, I have the right to express my opinions and demands, so that’s it! What I can provide Provide the evidence to the relevant departments, and then let this matter go. Yesterday, my father expressed his opinion on this matter outside the ward. I think my meaning is consistent with his. Dad did not use his rights to Interfering with the impartiality of justice. Brother, I hope you will not destroy the balance, okay?"

Lin Zhiyuan looked at Liu Jingsheng, hoping he would say a few words. Unexpectedly, this kid rebelled. He patted Chen Xu on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Xu, don't get excited. I know what you mean. I'll do as you said. Go back! Be good!" Seeing Chen Xu didn't move. Liu Jingsheng said again: "You have to believe in brother, your two brothers are people who keep their word and will not break their promise." Chen Xu then went back with peace of mind.

Lin Zhiyuan said a little discouraged: "You kid, why do you always pretend to be a good person in front of Chen Xu? You just obey her whatever she says! Don't you think she is too stupid?" Liu Jingsheng arranged all the papers on the table. Put them together, then tear them into pieces with your hands, and put the law books on the table back on the bookshelf. He looked at Lin Zhiyuan and said: "Chen Xu's ideas may be a little out of place in today's society, but in fact she uses your mother as a template. Chen Xu is practicing your mother's values ​​to a large extent. You don't What do you think? Chen Xu often talked about your mother, Teacher Lin, to me before, and she always talked about her with reverence." Lin Zhiyuan was suddenly discouraged.

Liu Jingsheng took out a paper towel and wiped the table, then sat down and said: "I want to have a cup of tea, will you make it or should I make it?" Lin Zhiyuan went to boil water angrily, and Liu Jingsheng walked over and persuaded: "What are you doing to Xiaoxu?" A little bit angry, right? But have you ever thought about it, it is because she is so upright and kind that we like her, right? Isn’t this also what makes her valuable? Think about what Xiaoxu said. Wrong. Although I just saw Xiaoxu’s embarrassed look the night before yesterday and wished I could cut that kid into pieces, luckily it didn’t cause more harm. I can reluctantly accept the sentence of a few years for that guy. He The crime will not lead to death! Don't think about making small tricks in the detention center or prison. Don't you think that Xiaoxu is also protecting you and making you less guilty? "

Lin Zhiyuan was particularly angry. He turned around and roared: "Shut up, who are you talking about?" At this time, the water boiled, and Lin Zhiyuan made tea without hesitation. The tea was too hot and he couldn't drink it for the time being.

Liu Jingsheng smiled and said: "Brother Lin, I haven't practiced for a long time. Why don't you go upstairs to stretch your muscles?" Lin Zhiyuan readily agreed.

In the gym upstairs, Lin Zhiyuan was panting from exhaustion. He cursed angrily: "You bastard, fight back! I don't need you to give in!" Liu Jingsheng defended and said: "Who wants to give in to you? You are now Like a hungry tiger, why should I confront you head-on? What I call retreat is to advance, and defense is to attack." In the end, Lin Zhiyuan was tired and panting. He took off his gloves and lay on the ground looking at the ceiling without moving. . Liu Jingsheng also took off his gloves and wiped the sweat from his head. "Brother, you are Chen Xu's good brother. I thank you! But sometimes we should give her what she wants." Lin Zhiyuan sat up and thought for a while. , lowered his head and said: "Maybe you are right!" Then he smiled bitterly, "Chen Xu is indeed my mother's best student." Liu Jingsheng stretched out his hand to pull Lin Zhiyuan up. He said sincerely: "Brother Lin, Xiao Xu is I am able to come back alive this time, thanks to you! She really treats you as her brother. If you think about it, although her character is a bit stubborn and accepts death in everything, she is not afraid of running over in a panic to prevent you from interfering in the case anymore. You were affected by this incident. How could she be willing to see something happen to the son of Teacher Lin, whom she loves and misses the most? Xiaoxu attaches great importance to feelings. She doesn’t want anything to happen to any of her relatives around her. You have been on the road for a long time, and you always want to Love and grudges are easy to break, Xiao Xu understands this, and so do you and I. Since we understand, how can we ignore the law and insist on going our own way." Lin Zhiyuan let out a long breath, "Thanks, brother. No one has followed me in many years. It makes sense.”

Seeing Chen Xu come back, Cheng Qi glanced at Zhao Yuhan unconvinced, and then asked: "Chen Xu, did you run over and ask your brother to take care of that bad guy?" Chen Xu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "No. Well, I asked my brother not to get involved in the case."

Zhao Yuhan looked at Chen Xu and nodded approvingly, but Cheng Qi stopped, "Are you stupid? He has treated you like this, why do you want to forgive him?" Chen Xu explained, "I don't forgive him, I I just want to resolve this matter fairly." Cheng Qi walked back and forth in the room angrily, "I'm so angry! You're so unlucky! How could you do this?"

Chen Xu quickly said to Cheng Qi: "Okay, Cheng Baobao, don't do this! I'm not saying forgive him, nor am I saying not to pursue the case, but I don't want to interfere with this matter through other means. I believe in the law. Let the law Let’s decide! We are not judges and we are not God. We have no right to condemn a person or influence a person’s fate.”
