At the same time, in a villa in the capital.
Bian Wei was tied to a chair with ropes, but he wasn't physically injured.
However, judging by his complexion, he hadn't eaten much, and his eyes seemed a little unfocused.
"What exactly do you want?" Bian Wei asked the black-clothed man beside him, mustering his strength.
The black-clothed men wouldn't answer his questions; they would only ruthlessly remind him, "Open your mouth again, and I'll beat you!"
Bian Wei: "..."
Password five six three seven four three six seven five
The large room was silent until footsteps approached from outside. Bian Wei pricked up his ears.
He could sense that the person arriving this time was different from the previous ones; this must be the main culprit.
As the door opened, Bian Wei finally saw the person who had kidnapped him—Lan Shuo!
"Good morning, are you hungry?"
Lan Shuo brought coffee to Bian Wei, and the servants following him held trays of delicacies, filling the air with an enticing aroma.
"Not hungry!"
As soon as he spoke, his stomach rumbled uncontrollably. Bian Wei: "..."
Lan Shuo chuckled, "Your body is certainly more honest than your mouth."
Bian Wei didn't want to continue this topic and asked directly, "Why did you kidnap me?"
In fact, he wasn't surprised to see Lan Shuo.
Ever since he was kidnapped yesterday afternoon, he had been wondering who would want to abduct him.
He thought about it and remembered standing at the school gate, declaring in front of everyone, "Lan Shuo stabbed Meng Xiyao to death."
Lan Shuo took a sip of coffee and said, "It's nothing much, really. I just want to make a deal with you."
"A deal?" Bian Wei sneered, "You mean hush money, don't you?"
He had witnessed him commit murder with his own eyes; how could he sleep peacefully?
Lan Shuo raised an eyebrow, "Your imagination is a bit too limited. How can you be a designer?"
The smile on Bian Wei's face gradually faded. "What do you actually want to say?"
Lan Shuo tapped the rim of his cup with his slender fingers and said with a smile, "It's a deal, of course."
"What kind of deal?"
"You go to jail for me, and I'll take care of your family."

He said it so lightly, as if it were a simple matter. Bian Wei trembled with anger and roared, "Dream on!"
"Don't speak too soon." Lan Shuo reached out, and the black-clothed men immediately handed him a pile of documents.
Lan Shuo brought the documents to Bian Wei and flipped through them one by one. "See here? Your parents, your uncle and aunt, your maternal aunt and uncle.
"Even distant relatives and friends you have no connection with, I can investigate them all.
"You can choose not to cooperate with me, or you can blab about my business everywhere, it's up to you. But have you considered your family and friends?"
Lan Shuo raised his hand and scattered all the papers into the air, and as they fluttered down, he spoke wantonly.
"You can go ahead and oppose me, but I won't let any of your relatives and friends, including your parents, off the hook.
"Dealing with people like you is as easy as crushing an ant for me. Do you want to try?"
Lan Shuo picked up his phone, dialed a number, and finally looked at Bian Wei, whose expression was extremely grim, and said with a smile:
"Believe it or not, with one call, your mother will lose her job. I heard Auntie loves her job very much, right?"

Bian Wei gritted his teeth and looked at him, "Lan Shuo! You're not human!"
Lan Shuo smiled, "That's not right. When you reach my level, you might be less human than I am."
Power and status are like drugs. Once you've tasted them, you can't quit unless you shed your skin and lose your life!
At the same time, in a law firm in the capital.
Upon hearing that their daughter had been murdered, Meng's parents tearfully pleaded at the reception desk.
"Young lady! Can you help us contact Lawyer Lin? We have an urgent matter to discuss with him. It's truly urgent, please help us!"
Mother Meng had been crying all the way, her eyes swollen almost shut.
The receptionist felt a pang of sympathy, but Lawyer Lin had instructed that he would not see clients without appointments today.
So, she could only refuse gently.
Father Meng looked helplessly at the bustling law firm and then, with red eyes, asked, "When can we see Lawyer Lin? Young lady, please don't worry, we have money with us, we won't default..."
Discussion group 563743675
The receptionist pursed her lips with difficulty, "Uncle and Auntie, this is not something I can decide..."
"What's going on?" Yu Zishu entered, holding an iced americano.
The receptionist quickly explained the situation in her ear and finally cautioned, "Lawyer Lin said he has a major client today, so don't get involved."
Not many people knew that Yu Zishu was dating Lin Yuanzhi.
Most people in the law firm even thought they had a bad relationship, like enemies.
This was because they often argued, sometimes even to the boss's office.
And Yu Zishu liked to meddle in Lin Yuanzhi's affairs, which was why the receptionist had specifically warned her.
Yu Zishu was quite tall, and even more so in high heels, but Mother Meng was short. So, Yu Zishu leaned down slightly and asked,
"Uncle and Auntie, what kind of case are you handling that you must see Lin Yuanzhi?"
Receptionist: "..."

Mother Meng's eyes welled up with tears again upon hearing this, and her voice choked, "My, my daughter, my daughter was murdered..."
Father Meng also wiped away tears.
"We, we heard that Lawyer Lin in the capital is the best at handling such cases, so... we don't want our daughter to have died in vain..." Mother Meng said haltingly, tears streaming down her face.
Yu Zishu's heart ached, and she said, "I'll take you in."
The receptionist quickly called out, "Zishu!"
Father and Mother Meng, who had been halfway to joy, looked expectantly at Yu Zishu and murmured, "If it's too troublesome, we can wait here..."
Father Meng took out a folding stool from his worn pink backpack. Yu Zishu quickly reached out to stop him, "It's okay, it's okay, it's not troublesome at all. Please come with me."
"Yes, yes!" The two nodded repeatedly, overcome with joy.
Yu Zishu sighed inwardly, hoping that Lin Yuanzhi would give her some face today, otherwise, these two elders were truly... too pitiful.
Lin Yuanzhi heard the voices around him and looked up, spotting Yu Zishu and the two elderly people behind her at a glance.

"What are you doing?" Lin Yuanzhi asked, unable to suppress his temper, "Don't you know I have a major client today?"
Yu Zishu's heart sank, and her tone also turned cold, "How major? Can it drain all your energy?"
Lin Yuanzhi hated her aggressive expression the most, but the major client was arriving soon.
He didn't have the energy to argue with her, so he appeased, "Don't be angry first. After I finish talking with the major client, I'll deal with their matters, okay?"
Yu Zishu had already seen through his trickery, "You're trying to appease me again. Lin Yuanzhi, how long are you going to keep appeasing me?"
"..."
Lin Yuanzhi lowered his eyes to check the time and conceded, "Is half an hour okay? That's all the time I can spare."
"Okay," Yu Zishu's expression softened slightly as she nodded.
After watching the three enter the reception room and observing for a while from outside, Yu Zishu returned to her desk to work.
Twenty-five minutes later, Lin Yuanzhi emerged first and said directly to Yu Zishu, "I can't take this case."

Yu Zishu frowned, "Why? Is it too difficult?"
Before Lin Yuanzhi could answer, Lan Shuo swaggered in with a group of people, acting nonchalantly.
"Lawyer Lin, my matter shouldn't be difficult to handle, right?"
He slammed a box of money onto Yu Zishu's desk, his attitude extremely arrogant.
Lin Yuanzhi said with a smile, "Young Master Lan, rest assured, this matter is not difficult to handle."
Bian Wei's outburst led many to believe that Meng Xiyao was murdered by Lan Shuo.
Lan Shuo, 'reluctantly,' sought a lawyer to defend him.
"Good," Lan Shuo nodded in satisfaction, "As long as it can be handled properly, the money will definitely not be less."
He came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
Yu Zishu asked, "Who is he?"

Lin Yuanzhi paused for a moment and replied, "He is the eldest young master of the Lan family, and he is also the person that couple wants to sue."
"So," Lin Yuanzhi said, holding the money, "I really can't take it."
Yu Zishu was slightly stunned for a second, then sneered, "Lin Yuanzhi, tell me the truth, if that couple had approached you first, would you have taken the case?"
"No," Lin Yuanzhi replied without hesitation, "Regardless of whether they came early or late, I would only take Lan Shuo's case."
Yu Zishu was not surprised by his answer at all, but she couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
Lin Yuanzhi said impatiently, "Can't you see it clearly? When you're operating in the capital, connections are the most important. The Lan family is more useful than that couple, so of course, I have to help the Lan family!"
"Then what about your original intention as a lawyer? Have you abandoned it?!" Yu Zishu questioned.
Lin Yuanzhi said coldly, "In the face of profit, what is an initial intention but a fart?"
Yu Zishu stared into his eyes for a long, long time, until Lin Yuanzhi became somewhat annoyed, and she said softly,
"Let's break up."

Lin Yuanzhi only thought she was having another episode and walked away with the money, saying, "Whatever!"
At the same time, at the Public Security Bureau.
"Are you alright?"
The director stepped forward first and asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Wen Tingxue: "?"
Could one feel comfortable while being interrogated?
"I..." As she was about to answer, her peripheral vision caught sight of a group of people, all exuding an air of nobility, completely out of place in a police station.
Wen Tingxue was shocked: ...What's going on?!
While she was stunned, Yu Wenli walked up to her, took her cold, small hand, and asked softly, "I'm sorry, I'm late. Were you scared?"
He knew she was timid, and it was her first time in a police station, so she must be afraid.

The familiar voice, the familiar scent, Wen Tingxue's nose felt a bit sore, and she wanted to cry.
She was truly scared, scared when she was taken away, and scared during the interrogation.
It wasn't until she saw him that she felt a sense of stability again.
"Scared," the little girl whimpered softly in his arms, complaining in a very low voice, "Why did you come so late? You lied, you said you'd come whenever I called, you liar!"
Her soft and sweet tone made Yu Wenli's heart ache. He couldn't help but stroke her head and say,
"Yes, brother didn't keep his word. How do you want to punish me?"
The little girl rolled her eyes at him, "What's the use of punishing you now? But..."
She said with a look of seeking praise, "I was quite strong, I didn't cry from fear~"
Yu Wenli was amused by her proud little expression, pinched her face, and said, "Mmm, my Yiyi has grown up. I'll reward you with a kiss later."
Wen Tingxue: "..."

Who is this a reward for?!
Deceitful!
But his use of diminutives was really charming (＊／w＼＊)!
Han Xianyun, Chi Ye, and Lin Wanqing had all come at someone's request. Seeing that Wen Tingxue was fine, the three of them left.
Fu Yuchuan's gaze lingered on the interaction between the young couple for a moment before he turned and left, a smile of unknown meaning playing on his lips.
"Thank you," Qiao Xixi said stiffly.
She hadn't intended to trouble Han Yan, but since he offered to help, she couldn't refuse.
"It's nothing," Han Yan said with a smile, unconcerned, "If you need anything in the future, you can still find me."
He added at the end, "Don't worry, I won't ask for any reward or promise."
Qiao Xixi looked up abruptly, then felt embarrassed, "You don't have to do this..."

Han Yan interrupted, "I'm doing it willingly."
With that, he left on his own, just as he had arrived.
Qiao Xixi sighed as she watched his retreating back.
When Lu Youran emerged from the interrogation room, most people had already left.
Only Song You remained.
After a few simple questions, everyone left the police station.
"Youran! I'm here to pick you up."
Jing Xiao, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, ran over happily, wanting to hold Lu Youran's hand, but Lu Youran coldly avoided him.
"Youran?"
Jing Xiao looked at her in astonishment. She had never refused him before. Today...

Sensing his thoughts, Lu Youran sneered, "We've already broken up. You have no right to touch me."
Hearing this, Jing Xiao quickly said, "Youran, I know I was wrong. I saw the posts online. Meng Xiyao seduced me, I didn't want to betray you..."
Lu Youran couldn't be bothered to listen to his nonsense and walked out quickly. Jing Xiao chased after her, babbling incessantly,
"Youran, believe me, I still like you very much. Can we get back together? I truly know I was wrong. You can hit me or scold me, just don't break up..."
Lu Youran stopped abruptly. Jing Xiao thought she had a change of heart, and his eyes shone as he looked at her, vowing, "Don't worry, I'll only be foolish this once. From now on, I'll be loyal only to you!" httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Heh."
Lu Youran let out a sudden laugh.
Jing Xiao called out uncertainly, "Youran?"
Lu Youran turned to look at him and said word by word, "Jing Xiao, do you know? The way you're begging to get back together so shamelessly is truly pathetic!"
Jing Xiao pursed his lips, his pride wounded, "Youran, don't go too far."
This book is first published on: Ta.du Novel App - free Ad-free and pop-up free, you can also interact with book friends.
"I'm going too far?" Lu Youran crossed her arms and looked at him, "Jing Xiao, you cheated. You slept with someone else while we were dating.
"You were blind to believe the mistress, you slapped me, and now you have the nerve to say I'm going too far?!"
Lu Youran's perception of him was completely shattered, "I must have been blinded by pig's grease to have fallen for you!"
Jing Xiao's face instantly turned grim, "Lu Youran! Do you think anyone else would want you besides me?!"
Not to be outdone, Lu Youran immediately lied, "Stop trying to scare me! Let me tell you, this young lady's romantic luck will explode without you!
"People better than you, richer than you, and more handsome than you are pursuing me, but I'm not willing to agree. How could I possibly get back together with you!"
Jing Xiao narrowed his eyes sinisterly, "Who are you talking about? Is it that guy who caused trouble for me last time?"
"That's right! It's him! He's a hundred times, ten thousand times better than you!" Lu Youran shouted.
Then she saw Jing Xiao raise his gaze, as if looking at something.
Lu Youran turned her head and met Fu Ran's eyes, which held a smile that was neither a smile nor not a smile.

Holy crap!
She was showing off right in front of the person himself!

He won't expose her, will he!
Wuwuwuwu, no...
Her pride is also very important...
