Meng Fanhua Law Firm.

Lu Kun has been waiting in the reception room for almost an hour, and drank three cups of tea in front of him. During this short period of time, he went through the whole incident from beginning to end, trying to find out what omissions there were.

He didn't finish college, and in the best years of his youth, all he saw was high-walled power grids. Although he was not legally illiterate about the law, he was not as professional as a lawyer after all.

Halfway through the fourth glass of water, a man in a black suit pushed the door in.

Lu Kun hurriedly got up and walked towards him.

"Hello, Lawyer Meng!"

"Lu Kun, right? I'm sorry I was in a hurry to deal with a case just now, so I'm late, forgive me"

Lu Kun and Lawyer Meng shook hands with each other and replied politely: "No, I know you are busy."

Lawyer Meng: "Sit down"

"it is good"

Lawyer Meng put the folder on the table, raised his hand and loosened the tie around his neck twice, and said, "Chen Juncheng probably told me about the matter, and he asked me to talk to you in detail."

Chen Juncheng is the boss of the two stores managed by Lu Kun, and Lu Kun usually calls him "Brother Cheng"

"Brother Cheng called me before, he is in Guangzhou now, and he won't be back until next Tuesday"

"I know, Mr. Chen is also a busy man"

Lu Kun smiled and started to get down to business, "The thing is like this. On the tenth of this month, a man named Deng Liqiang came to our store to rent a BMW x5 for two days. This car was given by a friend of Brother Cheng. In our store, I remember that this car was bought just over half a year ago, and according to the current market value, it should cost between 50 and 60."

"On the afternoon of the first day the car was rented out, Deng Liqiang called and said that the car had spontaneously ignited on the highway. I asked him to tow the car back. If we go through legal procedures, wouldn't it be necessary to identify the cause of the car's spontaneous combustion?"

"Then did he say why he spontaneously ignited?"

Lu Kun shook his head, "He said that the car caught fire from the bottom when it was driving on the way, and it was too late to put out the fire afterwards, and he promised to tow the rest of the car back, but he refused to accept it when he came back, and returned to the store. stole our car rental contract"

Lawyer Meng frowned when he heard this, and Lu Kun's heart sank.

"The car rental contract is very important. Does your store have monitoring?"

Lu Kun: "Yes, but it broke down a few days ago, and unfortunately it was the time when Deng Liqiang came to rent the car, but don't worry, I got the car rental contract back."

"Get it back?"

Lawyer Meng didn't know what Lu Kun meant, or he was curious about what method Lu Kun took.

Lu Kun didn't seem to want to elaborate on this, "Lawyer Meng, you don't have to worry about this, the car rental contract is still in our hands anyway."

Lawyer Meng is a smart person, he nodded after understanding, and said: "Then you can sue them for compensation, and it will be easier if you have a car rental contract."

"No, no," Lu Kun twitched his mouth, looked at Lawyer Meng with deep eyes, and said, "Since they are villains, we don't need to be gentlemen. We can not sue for the time being, and try to delay the time later."

Lawyer Meng was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Lu Kun unconsciously glanced at the ashtray at the corner of the table, and said, "Lawyer Meng, I want to sue them for "failing to return the car"..."

Lawyer Meng was silent for a moment, then said, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Yes"

Non-negotiable tone.

He has planned this decision for a long time, but whether it can be successful depends on whether God rewards him or not.

Lawyer Meng leaned back on the back of the chair, pointing rhythmically with his raised toes, and he and she seemed to be thinking.

"I think your idea is a bit risky. First, you have to make sure that the car rental contract you got back is 100% authentic. Second, has this man named Deng Liqiang talked to you about the whole incident alone? If he secretly recorded or If you make a video, you will be beaten up instead, and what was originally reasonable will become a disadvantage. Third, if the lawsuit is won, then it will not only be a simple matter of losing the car, but also the compensation for the "not returning the car" period. Car rental fees and liquidated damages cost hundreds of thousands, aren't you afraid that they will retaliate if they jump over the wall in a hurry?"

Lu Kun's expression changed after hearing what Lawyer Meng said. . .Why did so many unfavorable factors suddenly appear? !

After all, it is a lawyer, and the point is made clear in a few words.

Lu Kun adjusted his sitting posture, cleared his throat, and said, "I only had direct contact with them once. This matter was handled by an employee in the store before. The car rental contract I got back must be genuine, but is there any recording?" , I can't be sure"

Lawyer Meng wrote something in the notebook with a pen. After listening to Lu Kun, he closed the notebook and said, "You go back and think about it carefully. My suggestion is to sue conservatively. If the spontaneous combustion of the car is not our problem, then we will win." The chances are very high, if you do as you say, you must be prepared to fight to the death."

"Also," Attorney Meng paused for a moment and said, "You should have heard that I have been a lawyer for seven years and never take a case that I am not sure of. It’s all based on word of mouth, I can’t smash my own signboard”

Lawyer Meng's words did not make Lu Kun feel uncomfortable. He has been working outside for so many years, and he knows the truth of "business is business". For lawyers, maintaining a good reputation is the only way. . . . . .Hehe, to put it a bit vulgarly means "there is a lot of money!"

Jiang Ming walked around the living room several times after dinner, and finally stayed up until the rain stopped. He picked up the keys on the table and half a bag of cat food and went downstairs.

There are lilac trees everywhere in the community. Jiang Ming walked by a tree and accidentally scratched a branch. Large strings of raindrops landed on the front of his clothes, making it wet. Jiang Ming stretched the front and shook it twice, then continued Go to the artificial lake in the community.

There is a black stray cat in the community, the breed seems to be Mumbai, but I don’t know if it is pure or not. The first time Jiang Ming met it downstairs was also a rainy day. It was watered badly and hid in the artificial lake. Under the seat, maybe it was raining too much, even if he saw Jiang Ming, he didn't run away.

Jiang Ming walked around the artificial lake twice but still couldn't find it, only two black swans in the lake were swimming together.

Where did you go?

When he was wondering, Jiang Ming inadvertently caught a glimpse of a black shadow running past the pavilion on the left, he followed that shadow to look for it, and sure enough, he found it inside the pavilion.

"Little Black"

This name was given to it by Jiang Ming, it cannot be more random if it is random.

"come over"

Jiang Ming waved at it, then opened the plastic bag in his hand, grabbed a handful of cat food and placed it by his feet.

"Xiao Hei" immediately rushed over when he smelled the familiar smell from Jiang Ming's body, eating deliciously like a wolf.

Seeing its docile appearance, Jiang Ming couldn't help raising his hand to stroke its fur, it was damp, probably from the rain.

"You can eat very much recently?" Jiang Ming lightly squeezed "Xiao Hei"'s neck, it was fleshy.

"If you get fatter, you won't find a wife"

Jiang Ming talked to himself, Xiao Hei took care of himself.

From time to time, I could hear the cries of black swans. Jiang Ming raised his head and looked over. The security guards in the community were holding a long stick to drive them into the nest. This is a technical job. Jiang Ming used to From the balcony of my house, I saw the security guard wielding a stick for nearly half an hour before he succeeded.

On the other side, Lu Kun watched Jiang Ming play happily with a cat from the rearview mirror of the car. In the bluish-white pavilion, Jiang Ming was wearing a gray vest, with his head down, and the expression on his face was invisible. . . . . .

Lu Kun didn't realize that he had been staring at the picture for at least 10 minutes.

What is he here for?Why is he here?

Lu Kun didn't know, anyway, he turned in by the way.

Seeing that there was not much cat food left on the ground, Jiang Ming got up and brushed the ashes off his buttocks, then lowered his head and said to Xiao Hei, "I'm going upstairs first, and I'll feed you tomorrow night."

As soon as Jiang Ming came out of the gazebo, he heard thunder on the ground, which made him raise his head suddenly. Before he could react, big raindrops poured on his face in an instant. run.

"Jiang Ming!"

Jiang Ming turned his head and saw Lu Kun at a glance.

"Come and hide in the car, I happen to have something to do with you." Lu Kun stretched out one arm out of the car window, pointing his index finger at Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming froze in place, his footsteps stopped, the rain would not stop, Jiang Ming was completely drenched in a few seconds.

Seeing him like this, Lu Kun yelled again, "Why are you in a daze? Get in the car!"

Heavy Rain didn't allow Jiang Ming to hesitate any longer, he turned around and got into Lu Kun's car.

The window was rolled up, and the only silence in the car was the sound of breathing.

For two people. . . . . .

Lu Kun took out a pack of tissues from the armrest box and threw it, which happened to land between Jiang Ming's thighs, in an awkward position.

Jiang Ming: "..."

"Here, wipe it off"

"Thank you"

Jiang Ming simply wiped the water off his face a few times, then grabbed back with his big hand, pulled the vest directly on top of his head, then took it off and shook it a few times, water droplets splashed everywhere, and two drops fell on Lu Kun's face by accident superior.

Lu Kun withdrew his gaze and looked forward, his eyes were foggy.

This is fucking boring. . . . . .

"Let me drive the car downstairs to your house first, do you mind if I sit at your house for a while?"

Lu Kun's voice is very magnetic, with a slight subwoofer quality, which makes people feel itchy.

"..." Jiang Ming's hand holding the tissue was slightly squeezed, and it collapsed.

"Are you looking for me?"

Lu Kun was choked and speechless for a while.

Looking at the car window blurred by the heavy rain, Jiang Ming suddenly remembered something, and said, "I didn't go to work today on vacation. I don't know about your brother Lu Yuan. He was fine when I came back last night."

Lu Kun still didn't answer, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was not hidden.

Jiang Ming added: "If you are really worried, I can ask you at work tomorrow."

"That's not what I'm looking for you"

After finishing speaking, Jiang Ming turned his head and glanced at Lu Kun, his eyes just met his.

"Do you smoke?"

Lu Kun pulled out two cigarettes from the cigarette case, held his fingers in the air, and waited for Jiang Ming to reply.

Jiang Ming took one from his hand and put it in his mouth.

"lighter"

Lu Kun handed him the lighter again.

This lighter looks very cheap, and the sound is very astringent. It is the kind that can be seen everywhere in grocery stores, and it costs one yuan each.

The author has something to say: These two days I have been thinking about writing an afterword to "The Story of Looking for Her". . . . . .
