Jia Ru can come back

Chapter 261
When the car stopped, the driver told me that I had arrived. I looked out the car window and saw that the office was upstairs in the building, but I asked the driver to drive the car back.The driver asked in surprise, "Did you forget to leave something behind?"

I nodded: "Yes, I have to go back and get it."

Twenty minutes later, the car stopped outside the court again. I paid the fare and got out of the car. I looked at the solemn building in front of me expressionlessly. Under the sunlight, it looked extraordinarily solemn.

The reception staff also showed surprise when they saw me coming back, and I said I was looking for Lao Yu.

After standing for a while, I saw Lao Yu running out of it. Before he opened his mouth, I asked, "Is this divorce case handled by you or Xiao Dong?" Lao Yu was startled, and answered me, "Of course Me, isn't it me who goes through the trial with you every time?"

I squinted my eyes and made the same request as before: "I want to see Xiao Dong."

Old Yu showed displeasure on his face: "Lawyer Jia, your head is very busy. You don't want to see him just by saying you see him."

"You first ask him if he asked me to speak with evidence just now, and now I have something to hand over to him."

Lao Yu looked at me suspiciously, but still called Xiao Dong in front of me for consultation.It sounded that the momentum was wrong, just now Xiao Dong said that he would not see me again next time, I strode closer and raised my voice: "Xiao Dong, I have something to ask you, if you are busy, then I will wait." Lao Yu didn't Thinking that I would do this trick, he glared at me angrily. I don't know what Xiao Dong said on the other side of the phone. When Lao Yu put down the phone, he said awkwardly: "Xiao Jian asked you to go up."

I lowered my eyes and went straight upstairs.

When I walked to the office door again, I felt a little slapped in the face.I just swore "no next time" an hour ago, but I turned around and came back again.

When he opened the door and walked in, Xiao Dong stood with his back at the window. He didn't turn around when he heard the movement from my side, but asked in a deep voice: "Is there anything else you want to ask me?" I fixed my eyes and asked word by word: "Bashan Before the second trial of the case, did you meet Zhou Yu?"

Xiao Dong turned around, with a rare look of confusion on his face: "Why are you asking so suddenly?"

"you answer me first."

"Don't you know all about the intersection between me and him, you have seen it in court. You have already won the case, are you coming back to show off to me now?" Xiao Dong said to me with a serious face.

I squinted my eyes and emphasized again: "You really haven't met in private?"

Xiao Dong: "What exactly do you want to ask? Did you start messing around with me in order to let me go through that divorce case?"

After a few seconds of silence, I lowered my eyes, looked at somewhere on the desk and asked softly, "When did you start smoking?"

In the corner of the desk, there is a glass ashtray with two cigarette butts lying in it.And when I came here just now, it was empty, even though he opened the window to disperse the smell of smoke, but there is still a faint smell circulating in the space.

Xiao Dong didn't seem to think that I would suddenly change the subject, so he paused and said, "Occasionally."

The Xiao Dong I knew never smoked, but time has changed, today he told me that occasionally.

When I raised my eyes, I was certain in my heart: "The night before the second trial of the Bashan case, you and Zhou Yu met in Shucheng."

That night Zhou Yu didn't come back all night. When I rushed to Bashan Bookstore to look for it, I saw cigarette butts in the ashtray on the workbench, which was the same as the one there now.In fact, I smelled it the moment I opened the door and walked in. I had already made up my mind, so I asked him aggressively.

Xiao Dong's eyes flickered, and he was expressionless when he spoke: "That's right, he asked me to meet in Bashan."

"Can you tell me what you talked about?"

"On the eve of the second trial, it's natural to talk about things related to the case."

My heart sank, "What exactly?"

Xiao Dong was silent for a moment and asked me, "Why didn't you ask him directly?"

"He is on a business trip abroad now, and the time difference is reversed. And I want to hear a different version. Why did he ask you for an appointment? According to my understanding of him, it is impossible for him to bow his head to you."

Xiao Dong's eyes flickered, "You see him looking for me as bowing to me? What if I said he came to beg me?"

"Impossible!" I vetoed it straight away. This is not Zhou Yu's character. He would never beg others in his life. "Xiao Dong, in fact, you don't need to hide it anymore. I basically guessed the content of your conversation. You actually knew that Zhou Yu would show those hole cards in the second trial, didn't you? You could have avoided it at that time, but you deliberately Leading up, there must be some kind of agreement between you and him."

"I don't know what you're talking about." Xiao Dongru denied.

I leaned against the wall behind me and quietly asked, "Is it for me to win?"

I can think of reasons that would prompt Zhou Yu to find Xiao Dong on the eve of the battle, except for me.

And Xiao Dong finally fell silent.

Smiling astringently, I don't know how to describe my mood at this moment, it's as uncomfortable as knocking over a bottle of mixed flavors.

I said: On the way back, I filtered the entire Bashan case in my mind, and suddenly found that I had overlooked many details. From the defeat of the first trial to the counterattack and victory of the second trial, there were many strange things hidden in it.It’s just that maybe I’ve been away from this business for too long, and I’ve lost that sensitivity, or maybe I’ve never questioned the people around me, and I didn’t realize it.

After a long silence, Xiao Dong said: "Since we won, why bother to pursue the past. But you can rest assured that even if I knew the outcome of that lawsuit, I did my best during the process."

But what you call doing your best is actually to arouse my fighting spirit!
I didn't say that, it didn't suit him anymore.

I just want to know—"What did you agree with Zhou Yu?"

"No, it just let you win."

I shook my head, "No, you are lying. Xiao Dong, maybe you have changed a lot over the years, and I don't know you anymore, just like when you learned to smoke and I don't know, but some things are born It's in your bones. You taught me before, don't do meaningless things. Zhou Yu must have given you the conditions that you are interested in, so that you will go in the direction of the chess game. Then, this condition What exactly is it?"

Xiao Dong didn't respond to me directly, but only gave me a plausible sentence: "Jia Ru, you always misread me." For the rest, he asked me to ask Zhou Yu, saying that he couldn't find the answer.

The facts are roughly as I guessed, the two people did meet before the second trial.And the real reason why Zhou Yu didn't want me to go to court was not actually wanting me to see Xiao Dong.

Because of jealousy?Or is it because you are afraid of being noticed by me?
I deliberately waited until very late that day, but I didn't get a call from Zhou Yu, so I found out the number he used abroad and called.

I suddenly realized that he was the one calling me these few days, I didn't take the initiative to call him, and I don't know if that person will still fool me.But I made up my mind that even if I couldn't get an answer on the phone, I must interrogate him when he comes back.

But the phone rang for a while and no one answered it, so he put down the phone angrily, can't find anyone else?

When I woke up the next day and picked up my phone to check, I saw that he had neither called me back nor sent me a message.I calculated the time, and it was almost one o'clock in the middle of the night over there. I wanted to grit my teeth and call him to wake him up, but I gave up.

It's just that he has been restless at work all day, and the more he thinks about it, the more he feels wrong. First of all, Xiao Dong's behavior becomes contradictory.Before I judged that Xiao Dong had turned against me, he even conspired with Chen Huan in order to frame Zhou Yu, but now looking at this case again, all his actions seemed to be defending the plaintiff, but in fact, from the first trial to the second trial, he deliberately turned the matter over. Guidance to the foundation, so that Zhou Yu can make a complete comeback and resolve the dispute together.

So going back to the present, if Xiao Dong is not as utilitarian as he is in reality, and he reached an agreement with Zhou Yu to let me win the lawsuit, can it be judged that he still has a little affection for me?Then he won't deliberately obstruct the divorce case in my hand again.Thinking back on his evaluation of Li Rou's divorce case, I didn't think about it because I was confronted with him at the time, but after thinking about it now, I realized that he was actually... reminding me of the loopholes in this case?

I couldn't sit still anymore, so I went to the court to find Xiao Dong and felt that I didn't have that face, but I had many questions waiting for him to answer them.

After hesitating again and again, he went to a quiet place and called Xiao Dong. When it rang nearly ten times, he thought he would not answer. He was about to put down the phone when he heard the answer: "Hello? Who is it?"

I forgot that my number has been changed since I left the court that year, so I replied softly, "It's me, Jia Ru."

His tone seemed to be impatient: "What else do you need to ask me? I have already said that if you ask him directly about Zhou Yu's matters, I will not find any answers."

"I just want to ask why you didn't let the divorce case between Li Rou and Chen Huan go through trial?"

"But the trial, naturally there are problems in the case itself."

I took a deep breath, "Do you also think that Li Rou's proposal for divorce may be fraudulent, and this lawsuit may be a script directed and acted by their husband and wife, with the purpose of transferring assets and avoiding debts?"

After a moment of silence, I heard Xiao Dong's voice: "Since you know, why did you file a lawsuit with the court?"

"Since their husband and wife still want to get something out of me, then I will grant them. But this time, I want Chen Huan to go into the water completely, and there will be no chance of turning over."

Xiao Dong: "Jia Ru, you are defying the law."

"No, I want to make the villain no longer successful. Instead of passively guarding against it, it is better to take the initiative and lure the snake into the urn."

Xiao Dong asked: "Chen Huan is worth your effort?"

"He's not worth it." I shook the phone vigorously and said softly, "Xiao Dong, I'm sorry." Then I hung up the phone.

I owe this apology to him. From the past to the present, I finally chose to go against him.But I forgot that he had witnessed the failure of my marriage with Chen Huan, so how could he choose to cooperate with Chen Huan one day?

So I have every reason to judge that he and Zhou Yu met in Bashan that day, no matter what the purpose was, they reached an agreement on one thing, which is to use this case to help me make a comeback in the legal profession and regain my confidence.

Otherwise, with Xiao Dong's keenness, he would definitely be able to detect Zhou Yu's game early on, and he would definitely be able to control the situation in court and prevent the wind from moving on Zhou Yu's chessboard.But he chose to go along and choose to lose.

If so, there must have been some unspeakable secrets behind my case back then.

I don't want to pursue it anymore. Things have passed, and the past is the past.Even if we know that Xiao Dong is not unfeeling towards me, it is impossible for me and him to go back to the beginning.

Now only Zhou Yu is left, and he hasn't called yet today.
