Chapter 56 Unkind Invitation
Meng Haoxiang never looked for Ye Zijin after eating at Dexing Restaurant that day.When he heard the drunk Ye Zijin say another man's name in the car that day, he was surrounded by a sense of frustration that he had never felt before, and he suddenly felt that everything he did for her was a joke .

But not seeing doesn't mean ignoring her. After all, Meng Haoxiang still couldn't worry about her. He was worried that Ye Zijin would encounter some danger again, so he still sent Ah Cheng to protect her secretly.No matter how busy he is every day, Meng Haoxiang will definitely find time to see Ah Cheng, and when he listens to Ah Cheng's report on Ye Zijin's recent situation, he is always silent.

Today, the secretary came to tell him that a woman named Ye Zijin was looking for him. When he heard that it was her, he was both surprised and happy. If it wasn't for the fact that he was the boss, he would definitely go out to see her immediately.But he still held back, when Meng Haoxiang accidentally caught a glimpse of the newspaper in hand, his burning heart seemed to be poured by a basin of cold water, he gradually calmed down, sitting on the leather chair thoughtful, the light in his eyes dimmed inch by inch down...

"What can I do for you?" Meng Haoxiang saw Ye Zijin, his tone didn't fluctuate at all.

Ye Zijin was wearing a cheongsam with a lotus color and white check pattern, which was simple and elegant, and an old white sweater was casually put on over it. It was originally pure white, but it turned beige over time.She crossed her hands in front of her body, and didn't know how to speak for a while.The embarrassing scene after getting drunk was still vivid in his memory, Ye Zijin was even embarrassed to look up at Meng Haoxiang.

"I... I came to you to ask for something." Ye Zijin summoned up the courage to say it, and when she thought that Zhao Jinnian might be sentenced to death in prison, her little awkwardness and embarrassment disappeared in an instant.She raised her eyes and glanced at Meng Haoxiang, and found that Meng Haoxiang seemed to be scanning her with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Oh? What's the matter?" Meng Haoxiang put the newspaper in the drawer with a cold and dignified expression.

Ye Zijin paused for a second, collected himself, and said the words that he had carefully considered on the road just now.

"Boss Meng, Second Young Master Zhao was wrongly imprisoned. I want to see him as soon as possible so that I can find out the ins and outs of the matter. But the people in the patrol room don't allow the suspect to visit, so I want you to come out. I just need to meet him." Ye Zijin's words were sincere, and every word revealed anxiety.

The more Meng Haoxiang heard it, the more depressed she felt. Is that second young master Zhao so important to her?As soon as something happened to her front foot, she came to ask him for help on her back foot.

Meng Haoxiang's eyes were sharp, he glanced at Ye Zijin with great interest, and said, "Why does Ms. Ye think that I will help you? It seems that you have already used up the chance I promised you."

Ye Zijin recalled that Meng Haoxiang had promised herself that she would unconditionally agree to one thing, but she had already used that opportunity to confront him when her foot was injured, and in the end she was still defeated... So now, Meng Haoxiang really has no reason or obligation help her.

"Boss Meng, first of all, I don't think you are a bad person, I believe you will help me. Secondly, if you are willing to help me, I will definitely repay you in the future." Ye Zijin felt sweat ooze from the palm of his hand when he said this , in fact, she was not at all sure that Meng Haoxiang was not a bad person.

Meng Haoxiang's thick black eyes were bottomless and slanted slightly, as if there were hidden flames burning. There was a provocative smile in his eyes, "Miss Ye has won the prize, I am really not a good person. In the eyes of businessmen, only Benefits, I will not make a loss-making business. Do you think you have anything you can give in exchange? Do you think I will be interested in what you call repayment? It takes money to open up the relationship with the police station and hire a lawyer. of."

Ye Zijin was stopped by Meng Haoxiang's words, but felt a pungent smell of copper. She tried to calm herself down, and suddenly a light flashed in her eyes, "I will use my promise in exchange, and I can also promise Boss Meng an unconditional Things, as long as I can do it. Like you, Boss Meng, I keep my word and never regret it."

Seeing Ye Zijin's firm expression, Meng Haoxiang wished he could rush over to shake her awake, and wanted to tell her loudly that the man had pleaded guilty, and that the man in the prison didn't love her at all... Although the sea of ​​anger was churning in his heart, But Meng Haoxiang still didn't change his face, just pursed his lips tightly and looked at Ye Zijin coldly.

"Although Ms. Ye is a promise, I don't think it's a good deal, because I don't have anything to ask for your help, and you can't help me, unless you are willing to agree to some special conditions..." Meng Haoxiang Suppressing his emotions, he said meaningfully, he wanted to make a final test.

Ye Zijin's heart was shocked, of course she knew what Meng Haoxiang meant, the special conditions, could it be that she was euphemistically asking her to be a lover like those women?To be an aunt?
Seeing Ye Zijin's face suddenly changed, Meng Haoxiang said with a half-smile, "Miss Ye, don't be afraid, I never force others to do what they want."

Ye Zijin bit her lower lip, and said eagerly, "I promise you, Boss Meng will only say conditions."

Meng Haoxiang was slightly stunned, as if he had been punched in the heart, the punch seemed to land softly, but in fact it was powerful enough, and his heart trembled a little.He didn't expect Ye Zijin to agree to it for Zhao Jinnian.

With a hint of helplessness and loneliness, Meng Haoxiang had a wry smile on his face, "Okay, I'll help you this time, but I haven't figured out the conditions yet, you owe it first..."

No matter what, Meng Haoxiang couldn't say those insulting conditions to Ye Zijin, no matter how angry or hated he was.In his heart, Ye Zijin is like that pure white narcissus, which cannot be desecrated.It's just that he forgot that narcissus is poisonous, and the poisonous juice has gradually eroded his heart, causing him pain and distress, but he still can't forget the original fragrance of that pulse.

Ye Zijin was surprised at first, and then grateful.Putting all her eggs in one basket, she chose to believe in Meng Haoxiang. From the first time she saw him, Ye Zijin felt that those eyes were stars in the dark night, containing light and power, and had the courage to pierce through the night and see thousands of things.

Meng Haoxiang made a phone call to explain a few words, then picked up the suit on the hanger and put it on, Ye Zijin knew that Meng Haoxiang wanted to accompany her to the patrol room.

There was a bad smell and stench in the dark prison, and the dim light seemed to be covered with a layer of dust, and the sound of iron chains colliding and mournful wailing could be vaguely heard, Ye Zijin trembled with fear every step she took.It was the first time she came to this place full of despair and death, and the eyes of the prisoners staring at her sent shivers down her spine.Ye Zijin became more and more worried for Zhao Jinnian when he saw everything in front of him.

Xiao Xia brought Ye Zijin and Meng Haoxiang to the cell where Zhao Jinnian was imprisoned. Ye Zijin couldn't believe that the person in front of him was Zhao Jinnian. His eyes were blank, he just sat on the ground and looked at the wall in a daze, even if someone came in, he was indifferent.

"Second Young Master..." Ye Zijin felt sore in his heart, and his voice was a little hoarse.

Zhao Jinnian seemed to have heard someone calling her, so he turned his face slowly, glanced at Ye Zijin, but didn't say a word.

Ye Zijin approached Zhao Jinnian, bent down and squatted beside him, Meng Haoxiang saw that Ye Zijin looked worried, and now completely ignored him as a helper, and felt very unhappy, but seeing Zhao Jinnian's downcast appearance now, his The anger subsided inexplicably.

"Second Young Master, I'm Zijin, I'm here to see you." Ye Zijin said with concern.

Zhao Jinnian shook his head, turned his face away, and said expressionlessly: "You go, leave me alone."

Ye Zijin still didn't give up that hope, and asked: "Second young master, I believe that you didn't kill the man, why do you admit it? Did the eldest wife threaten you?"

Zhao Jinnian suddenly buried his face in his hands, and said in pain: "I killed people, I killed people! Let me die! I'm going to accompany Yunwan, she's afraid of the dark alone, I'm going to accompany her... "

"Miss Lin is not willing to see you like this, and she doesn't want you to die. Second young master, you have to cheer up. Don't admit that you didn't kill people. If you die, what will the second wife do? There is Zhimei, she also believes that you didn't kill the person, that bastard Zhao Guangyao obviously owned the knife..." Ye Zijin wanted to continue talking, but Zhao Jinnian suddenly went crazy and covered her ears, got up and pointed her head at it. Hitting against the wall, Ye Zijin turned pale with fright, and couldn't pull it.Zhao Jinnian's forehead was punctured very quickly, bleeding profusely.

If it weren't for Meng Haoxiang's quick action, Zhao Jinnian's last slamming force might have caused an accident.Meng Haoxiang stopped Zhao Jinnian, but Zhao Jinnian wanted to die and tried his best to break free from Meng Haoxiang's obstruction. Xiao Xia ran in when he heard the movement, and took iron chains with several people to lock Zhao Jinnian's hands and feet.

"Sister Zijin, Zhao Jinnian's mood is very unstable now, and he may even attack someone. If you can't ask anything, you should go out first. Don't worry, I will watch him and won't let him commit suicide. "Xiao Xia pulled Ye Zijin out of the cell.

Meng Haoxiang also came out with a serious expression, "He has no will to live now, and he has pleaded guilty from the very beginning. This matter is rather difficult. New evidence or witnesses must be found to prove his innocence. The most urgent task is to collect evidence and Get a lawyer."

Meng Haoxiang's words awakened the helpless Ye Zijin, she remembered that day Zhimei said that the eldest wife had personally interrogated the servants, and those servants said they didn't see it at the time.Perhaps some of those people witnessed what happened and kept their mouths shut just to save their lives.

After leaving the prison, Ye Zijin asked Meng Haoxiang, "Does Boss Meng know any good lawyers?"

Meng Haoxiang looked at her with his hands folded in front of his chest, and deliberately poured cold water on her: "A good lawyer naturally pays a lot, are you sure you want to hire?"

"You must hire the best lawyer. I owe this favor to Boss Meng." Ye Zijin planned to take out some of the utensils from the Qing Dynasty and pawn them in a pawn shop, and then ask the second wife to help raise some money. She should be able to afford it. a lawyer.

Seeing her resolute attitude, Meng Haoxiang knew that she was determined to take care of Zhao Jinnian's affairs. Although he was not happy, Meng Haoxiang agreed to Ye Zijin's request and only asked her to go back and wait for news.
