Chapter 4 Love Will Fade, But Shame Will Not

On Monday morning, Han Shu greeted his colleagues while walking towards his office. The news that he was about to be transferred from Chengnan Institute had spread, and most of his colleagues already knew that he was about to be promoted.Climbing into the city yard, of course, means that this is a new turning point in his career. For his smooth sailing, there are those who admire him, those who are jealous, those who are convinced, and those who talk about the insider, but there is nothing special when greeting him. Almost the following sentences.

"Han Shu, Gao Sheng, don't forget about us."

"When will you go there? Don't forget to invite you to dinner when you leave. It's also considered a farewell farewell for you."

"Why, we all thought you went directly to the city courtyard to report."

Han Shu replied with a smile: "There is no shadow yet, you are more prepared than I am, since you are so reluctant, how can I have the heart to leave without saying a word?"

It was only after walking all the way to the office that the smile on Han Shu's face was relieved, and he rubbed his forehead unbearably.He is the son of President Han of the Provincial Higher People's Court. This is a "secret" that few people mention, but basically everyone knows.Although the judicial organs and the legal supervisory organs belong to different systems, it is a common practice in recent years for high-level officials to be appointed cross-appointed. Han Shu's father, Han Shewen, was still the vice president of the Provincial High People's Procuratorate three years ago, so his connections in the political and legal circles are naturally unnecessary. Say more.As the son of Han Shewen, Han Shu's promotion all the way is taken for granted in the eyes of everyone. As for his actual ability and whether he works hard or not, it has become unimportant.

Like all proud young people, Han Shu subconsciously rejected the title "Han Shewen's son" before the name "Han Shu" and became the most important definition for him by others.When he was young, Han Shu even vowed never to rely on his father's relationship to start his own career. Of course, he never thinks that he needs his father's protection now, but at least he understands one thing, unless he completely Otherwise, it is impossible for him not to be influenced by his father's power.He doesn't want many things, and his father didn't ask others to give them to him, but many people will automatically and consciously send them to him. Those preferential treatments are everywhere, making you unavoidable, until you have no choice but to accept their existence as a deeper Unspoken rules in the sense.

When he was in middle school, Han Shu once thought that it would be best for him not to be involved in the political and legal industry in the future. He can be a scientist, architect, doctor, or even a businessman, but he should not follow the old way of the old man, but talent and hobbies may Accompanied by his pedigree, although he was reluctant to admit it, when he first walked into the gate of the University of Political Science and Law, his blood really felt like boiling. Later, he convinced himself that he might be destined to It is to do this line of work.

Fortunately, Han Shu is not a person who sticks to the horns. After stepping into the society for a while, he has completely understood a truth. Let alone whether he can do better than the old man in this life, even if he surpasses the old man one day , others will still remember him as standing on the "shoulders of giants".Or if he really took a gamble and stayed away from this business, Dean Han's "shadow" will still be everywhere.Since everyone says that life is like rape and you can’t escape it, it’s better to enjoy it, Han Shu also thinks so, since he is destined to wear the hat of Dean Han’s son, it’s better to be proud and straighten his neck , Wear the hat more beautifully than anyone else.

He is smart and strong. After he became sensible, he learned to be diligent, and he still wore that "good hat". Give him a little bit of trouble, but in fact he is not willing to do so.After living for 30 to [-] years, he himself admits that he has never stumbled, except for one - that is Xie Ju Nian.Only this time, the fall was too heavy, making this child who grew up in honey water unforgettable forever.

Thinking of that name, Han Shu, who was sitting behind the desk, felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.In fact, the entanglement between a man and a woman is the most vulgar, and it is nothing more than a word of love. Although Zhu Xiaobei didn't say anything, Han Shu knew that she had seen a clue that day, and she also thought so.

But it was wrong, Xie Ju Nian has never been Han Shu's lover, it has been 11 years, even if it is love, it has been worn out and forgotten in time, but there is one thing that does not, and that is "ashamed".

The seed of shame was deeply buried in the heart of that young boy back then. He tried hard to hypnotize himself and wanted to forget it, and at one time he thought he had succeeded.Human memory will protect itself. Han Shu has successfully forgotten many details of that day. He no longer remembers the color of clothes Xie Ju Nian wore that day, and how he came to the court. How did I go back again, I don’t even remember whether it was sunny or raining that day.The memory seemed to have a blackboard eraser, silently erasing the fragments he was afraid of recalling, leaving only dust on the floor.However, it wasn't until he met Xie Ju Nian again that he realized that even though the seed didn't blatantly spread its branches and leaves, its roots were actually so entangled that he couldn't even see his own heart.

During these 11 years, Han Shu actually had a dream often. He dreamed that one day, Xie Ju Nian was standing on the dock while he was in the audience. Then, in front of countless pairs of eyes, he stood up gently, In a restrained and calm tone, tell the real truth... If time can be turned back, Han Shu believes that he really did it.But it is impossible to turn back time, so all the content after that "then" can only be his imagination to comfort himself forever.

The old files dug out from the archive room the day before yesterday are still in his drawer, but he can only look at them once.It reads: Xie Ju Nian, female, was sentenced to five years in prison in 1997 for robbery and cover-up crimes. She served three years in S City Women's Prison and was released early due to her exceptionally good behavior.Across the wooden board of the drawer, Han Shu felt that the yellowed paper was burning him.But he couldn't remember whether Xie Ju Nian looked at him the day before yesterday, whether those calm eyes were his own illusion, whether she was looking at him or Xiao Bei.Back then, he didn't dare to look into her eyes, but he always hoped that she would look at him.But she didn't, he knew, not for a second.

Just as he was about to drink something refreshing to calm himself down, the intercom phone rang, and the beautiful sister from the hospital office said, "Chief Han, the Chief Prosecutor is here."

The Chief Prosecutor of the Chengnan Branch is the only female Chief Prosecutor in G City. Her surname is Cai and her name is Yilin. It was originally a serious name, but since Jolin Cai became popular in Taiwan, people who know her think of this name. When I contacted Prosecutor Cai again, for some reason, there was always a feeling of wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh.When Cai Yilin was young, he was known as a flower sweeping the political and legal system, and a well-known literary pioneer. Now he has dedicated 30 years of youth to the procuratorial cause. Gay men are more serious. In short, today's Prosecutor Cai gives the impression of nothing less than: "plump", strict, and iron fisted.

When Han Shu knocked on the door of the Chief Prosecutor's Office, he also felt a little distressed in his heart. A second later, when he heard the majestic and calm "Come in", he still had to bite the bullet and walk in.

Prosecutor Cai was sitting in his seat, when he saw Han Shu, he motioned him to sit on the opposite side of his desk with his eyes.Han Shu walked over, straightened up, and was ready to listen.But Cai Jian unexpectedly didn't make a long speech today, but pushed the folder in front of him to Han Shu with one hand.

"Your employment documents have already arrived at the city court, you know this, but the city court said that your predecessor still has a case on hand, and it will take a while to hand over, so even if you are in a hurry to leave, you may still I have to stay in the Chengnan courtyard for a while longer. But the longest is no more than half a month, so you can rest assured."

Han Shu smiled and poured tea for the person opposite: "If you stay longer, please stay longer, I just feel a little bit reluctant to part with you!"

The sternness on Cai Jian's round face was immediately broken. She tapped the folder on Han Shu's arm holding the teapot, and said with feigned anger, "You son of a bitch, you even took advantage of me."

Han Shu waved his hands exaggeratedly: "Sister Yilin, you don't have to be so cruel."

Speaking of it, the relationship between Cai Jian and the Han family "has a long history".When she was young, she and Dean Han were classmates, and they were sent to study abroad together. After returning, they worked in the same department for two years, and forged a profound revolutionary friendship in the process of studying and working together.Although the two young men claimed that they had no other interests at the time, in the eyes of others, they were a very well-matched couple.Dean Han, who was dedicated to learning, also said reservedly and euphemistically when accepting the conversation with the leaders: "If Comrade Xiao Cai has no opinion, I have no opinion either." However, when everyone was optimistic about the success, Comrade Xiao Cai was The enthusiastic offensive of a young literary and artistic youth from a foreign unit captured her, and in the end, it was she who handed over the handkerchief from childhood to adulthood to get acquainted with and married Dean Han.Because of this relationship, Cai Jian and Dean Han's family have maintained a close relationship for a long time, and the two families often come and go. Until Han Shewen became a superior leader, the personal relationship still remained.

Cai Jian and her handkerchief hand, that is, Han Shu's mother, have been close friends for decades, but like all women, no matter how good friends are, it is inevitable to compare each other, and it is obvious in my heart strength.In terms of talent, appearance, the two were equal back then, and in terms of destination, Han Shu's mother secretly laughed at Cai Jian's eyes and ignorance of real money, and gave herself the position of the dean's wife for nothing, but Cai Jian always felt in her heart that she was happy. Mr. Lang is versatile, romantic and handsome, many times better than Han Shewen.In terms of career, Cai Jian has worked steadily, step by step, and is now the leading heroine of the procuratorial system in the province, while Han Shu's mother is engaged in medical work, and is now an attending doctor in a third-class hospital. It can be said that these two women have never They are all indistinguishable, but later Cai Jian lost on the word "fate".

18 years ago, Cai Jian's husband passed away due to liver cancer, and the loving couple had to do it to the end.In the early years, she was too strong, focused on her career, and didn't take care of her body well, so that when her husband passed away, she didn't have a man and a woman under her knees. This became her big hatred in the years to come. It's the only thing she can't compare to Han Mu, who has a perfect family.Seven years ago, through someone's introduction, Cai Jian married a university professor who was quite successful in the academic world.Reluctantly, fate played tricks on her again. Two years after their marriage, a university professor went out to give lectures in a car accident and passed away, making Cai Jian a widow again.

Cai Jian experienced two life and death partings, and vowed that he would never marry again in this life, and that if he wanted to be alone, he would be alone until the end.The university professor and his ex-wife have a son, who can be regarded as Cai Jian's stepson, but when Cai Jian married the professor, this son had grown up, so how could a stepmother and stepson who had no blood relationship and no parenting grace kiss him.In the past few years, although Cai Jian intends to get closer to her stepson, his stepson is always polite to her, and there is always a distance, but he is not as close as Han Shu.

Perhaps in Cai Jian's eyes, her good friend's son Han Shu is the source of her envy and jealousy, and also the best place for her mother's love that she has nowhere to pour into.When Han Shu got into trouble when he was a child, even Han's mother couldn't protect him, Cai Jian stood up for him. In terms of food and clothing, Cai Jian, who was alone and financially well off, treated Han Shu even more generously.Since Han Shu went to middle school, most of his luxuries came from this godmother. He even planned to buy a car a few years after graduation, and strongly advocated that young people should be low-key and simple. Donated generously without hesitation and lent tens of thousands of yuan.Dean Han and his wife often said that she would spoil the child in this way, but Cai Jian said, isn't the child just for pampering?
Because of this, in private, Han Shu and Cai Jian have become accustomed to being the same age. Although Cai Jian sometimes scolds verbally, Han Shu knows that this godmother who is getting older and lonely needs him. The rogue and intimacy of a godson.Over the years, he has worked under Cai Jian, and naturally he has benefited a lot. Of course, his performance has not disappointed Cai Jian, who has never been soft.

Cai Jian was obviously taken aback by Han Shu's "Sister Yilin". She laughed and scolded, "If you keep screaming, next time you mess with your girlfriend outside, don't blame me for not covering it up for you in front of the old man."

Han Shu smiled "hehe": "Let's be honest, as long as he doesn't have promiscuous boyfriends, the old man won't be angry. By the way, if he summons me early in the morning, he won't come to me for nothing, right?"

"During working hours, of course there is serious business, you should take a look at this first."

Under Cai Jian's gesture, Han Shu opened the folder that was used to knock his hand just now. At first, there was still a smile on his face, but slowly, his brows wrinkled.

"Aren't you going to let me take this case? Is there any mistake? How long can I stay in Chengnan branch? You won't let me go in this little time?"

"I promise, this case won't take you much time. I dare not say to others. Compared with your ability, half a month is more than enough."

Han Shu obviously didn't like this high hat: "Please don't praise me. You know, I have always been in the criminal field, and economic cases are not my specialty."

"Really not answer?"

"No. It's not that I don't want to give you face. There are so many people in the courtyard, so you don't have to give it to me."

"Han Shu, you kid can't trust yourself, you are afraid that you will lose the lawsuit at this time, and you won't be able to report to the city court with your beautiful winning rate?" Cai Jian said with a half-smile.

Han Shu wiped his cheeks with his hands habitually, and laughed out loud: "Look, look, the official power has been used, and now the aggressive method has also been used. Do you really want me to take this case so much?"

This godmother still knows him.Although Han Shu knew that the other party was using words to provoke him, but he was young and arrogant, but he would not let people question his ability easily.

"Are you sure this case can be settled within fifteen days? Well, even if I take it, you have to give me a reason. Don't tell me that no one else in the courtyard can use it anymore."

Facing Han Shu's question, Cai Jian lowered his head and pondered for a while.Han Shu is a smart person, making up a random reason can't fool him, but it will make him feel bad, besides, he is not an outsider.Thinking of this, Cai Jian sighed: "Look carefully at the content above, don't you see anything?"

Hearing what she said, Han Shu, who was just skimming through, couldn't help but take another look.This case was actually not complicated. It was just that a small section chief of the Construction Bureau was suspected of taking bribes. Judging from the materials, the evidence was conclusive, and it was not difficult to convict him. Han Shu didn't understand why Cai Jian took it so seriously.

However, when he reviewed the main key words again, a feeling of deja vu suddenly came up: "Development Planning Section of Construction Bureau...Development Planning Section...Godmother, you, your who... Isn't it just... ah, I see."

"It's good that you understand." Cai Jian was a little sad, "You also know that Tang Ye is in this department. The Wang Guohua under investigation is the section chief, and A Ye is the deputy. Although my stepmother is not competent, she After all, my father used to be my husband. Although this case has nothing to do with him, it is too close. I have to avoid suspicion, so I can't take it by myself. As for why I refuse to tell other prosecutors, Han Shu, You should know."

Yes, Han Shu knows now.Cai Jian is a competent prosecutor, and she will not allow herself the opportunity to show favoritism, but she also cares for Tang Ye's stepson in her heart, and she is afraid that if she investigates further, she will be involved more and more, so she hopes that Han Shu will continue Through this case, I hope that he will take care of as many aspects as possible within the scope of the law.

"I know you're out of your mind right now, but Han Shu, just do Godmother a favor." Cai Jian said.

Han Shu closed the folder: "You've said so much, and I shake my head again, wouldn't it be very unconscionable, how could I let you catch this and talk about me every day in the future?"

Speaking of this, Cai Jian was relieved, since Han Shu had nodded, she could basically rest assured that no one could do things more beautifully than him.Before Han Shu played with the folder and walked out of the office, she suddenly thought of something and added a sentence behind him: "By the way, I heard from your mother that if you don't go home for dinner, the old man will go crazy."

When the beautiful director of the hospital office passed by the door of the chief prosecutor's office, she happened to see the dejected Han Shu.

"What's the matter, handsome guy, have you been criticized?" the beauty director asked with concern.

Han Shu waved his hand: "Don't mention it."

"Come on, my sister treats you to some chocolate, and you'll feel better after eating."

Han Shu, who was always keen on this bite, lost his appetite at this moment, shook his head and said, "Leave it to your precious daughter."

"It's weird. You don't even eat this. You have no interest in life?" The beautiful sister is one year older than Han Shu. Han Shu had been in love with her for half a month when he just graduated, and she was Han Shu's second official girlfriend. , Now I have found a good husband and son-in-law, and I am already a mother, but my relationship with Han Shu is still quite strong.

Han Shu walked several steps before saying: "To tell you the truth, I have eaten this shape before, and it is not delicious at all."
