After Miss Lu became the only one to enjoy the limelight, her six brothers knelt down and begged for

When Lu Ning heard him disagree, she gripped the steering wheel tightly.

Her heart stirred slightly, and a wave of bitterness washed over her.

She had used up all her courage to say those words; that seemingly impenetrable wall was actually incredibly fragile.

She lowered her head, unsure of what to do.

Ji Chiqian just stared at her, but he couldn't bring himself to say what he was going to say next.

I still can't bear to see her in a difficult situation.

Ji Chiqian hesitated for a moment, but eventually got off the bus.

If he doesn't get out of the car and tries to force his way out like last time, he'll probably get punched again.

As soon as he got out of the car, Lu Ning drove away without stopping at all.

Ji Chiqian sighed. If it were before, why would she have left him stranded on the road?

He took out his phone and called Gu Zifeng: "I'm not going."

"Where have you been? Everyone's waiting."

"She went to talk to Attorney Su about the case."

Having just heard the mention of Attorney Su, I guessed who she would be meeting later.

Ji Chiqian stood by the roadside and subconsciously took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. In fact, he rarely smoked unless he encountered something that he couldn't solve on his own.

His life was smooth sailing for the first half, but he stumbled because of her.

Ji Chiqian was in a bad mood and could only smoke to distract himself. All he could think about was Lu Ning's words about breaking up.

His narrow eyes were slightly squinted, and the red embers of his cigarette were particularly noticeable in the night.

Gu Zifeng paused for a moment: "So, how did your conversation with her go in the car?"

After hearing this, Ji Chiqian took another drag of his cigarette: "Not very good."

I got dumped.

Although it was something he had expected, he still held onto hope.

Gu Zifeng knew what the outcome was from that tone. He comforted Ji Chiqian, saying, "Don't give up so soon. Life is long. Just try harder in the future, although this time it will definitely not be as easy as the first time."

Ji Chiqian didn't speak; his mouth was filled with bitterness.

"Think about it, wasn't it Little Lemon who was chasing you before? Now it's your turn to chase her."

Ji Chiqian stubbed out his cigarette: "That makes sense."

In short, he will not give up easily.

The luxury car stopped by the roadside. Ji Chiqian turned around, bent down, and got into the car. At that moment, the dejected look on his face disappeared, and he became the aloof and arrogant young master of the Ji family again.

-

Lu Ning drove to the agreed location.

When she entered the private room, she saw Su Jingbai sitting in his seat, holding a menu, looking extremely elegant.

This man actually has a similar temperament to Ji Chiqian.

After Lu Ning sat down, the man handed her a menu: "Take a look and see what you like to eat?"

Lu Ning glanced at what he had ordered: "This will be fine."

"Is Miss Lu so casual about food?"

Lu Ning understood what she meant, and she looked over and said, "You have something on your mind, so you're not paying attention to the food."

Su Jingbai nodded: "That's understandable."

Lu Ning looked at him: "Is there something you want to say?"

"Let's eat first. I love good food, and we should always talk business after we've eaten our fill. Anyway, the sky isn't going to fall down."

Lu Ning was actually a little anxious, but the other party was a top lawyer, and this case depended on him.

So she didn't continue, and could only wait until after the meal to talk about it.

But while eating, Lu Ning found that the food here tasted quite good.

Su Jingbai spoke up: "How is it?"

Lu Ning smiled and nodded: "It's delicious."

"Which tastes better, the one from the pear orchard or the pear orchard?"

Lu Ning paused with her chopsticks: "They each have their own unique flavor."

"Tsk, the Peking Opera circle is a place for the rich, where people value face, status, and privacy. But this place focuses on the food itself."

Lu Ning looked at the man opposite her: "Do you own this shop?"

"No, the owner of this shop was on the verge of bankruptcy due to poor management. I helped him with the lawsuit and saved this old shop."

Lu Ning nodded: "It's good that the store is still open. The food is very good. It would be a pity if it closed down."

"Miss Lu, is your relationship with your family very bad?"

Lu Ning nodded: "Yes. Did they contact you?"

The man opposite nodded.

Lu Ning frowned: "I'll take the lead in handling the case. Don't believe what they say."

She didn't intend to hide the fact that Su Jingbai had become her lawyer, but she didn't expect that the Lu family would actually go to Su Jingbai.

Su Jingbai smiled and said, "They have always believed in that adopted girl and have always been biased and abusive towards you. There is really no need to acknowledge such blind family members."

Lu Ning had heard these kinds of things too many times, and retorted, "Don't you think I'm being too heartless?"

"What's the big deal? I've seen all sorts of monsters and demons in my years as a lawyer. People are better off being a little selfish; why worry about so much?"

Lu Ning smiled and said, "That makes sense, but now that we've finished eating, shouldn't we get down to business?"

Su Jingbai put down his chopsticks, and his gaze behind his gold-rimmed glasses suddenly sharpened.

He said, "The driver hasn't handed over the evidence he was hiding. This is crucial evidence for whether the Mo family can be punished."

Lu Ning pursed her lips: "I know, he's hidden the evidence and is waiting to make demands."

"What kind of conditions could someone like him possibly ask for? Money? I heard he used to be a gambler."

Lu Ning smiled and said, "It's not money, it's about us guaranteeing Qin Xiang's livelihood. Isn't that ridiculous? They abandoned Qin Xiang back then, but now they're pretending to be good to their daughter."

"Do you believe it?"

"I don't believe it, but I still have to pretend to. Otherwise, how will I know what he's up to?"

The biggest problem now is when Qin Xiang's father will produce the evidence.

Su Jingbai asked, "Why did the other party, having obtained such crucial evidence, not let you take him away? Instead, they made you take him to the police station?"

Lu Ning was stunned: "I had thought about that too, but he has nowhere to escape now, and I will not let him go. So in the end, I made another choice to ensure the safety of my only daughter?"

"This reasoning makes sense; my master thinks so too?"

Lu Ning looked over and said, "Attorney Feng does indeed think so, but he also has doubts about this point. We'll only know for sure once the evidence is presented."

"Then you're wrong. All the cases I've taken over the years have been related to these kinds of cases, and I know what these people are thinking. What they fear most is being caught and going to jail."

Lu Ning found it strange: "If you're afraid of going to jail, why did you specifically ask us to send him to turn himself in?"

"Unless you catch him, he will encounter something even more dangerous, such as death."

Lu Ning's expression changed: "You mean the Mo family will try to silence us? But we've been keeping a close eye on them, and no one from the Mo family has made a move. They've been too busy taking care of themselves lately."

Su Jingbai clicked his tongue: "If Ji Chiqian doesn't even have this much ability, he's lived in vain."

Lu Ning could tell that this person did indeed have a grudge against Ji Chiqian.

Su Jingbai continued, "That's why he never thought about running away; he just wanted to go to prison. After all, according to him, if he was just someone who had been bribed, and the car accident murder was also instigated by someone, he wouldn't be sentenced to death. He would only be out in a few decades."

Lu Ning looked at the man opposite her: "If your deduction is true, then who is Qin Xiang's father afraid of?"

They'd rather hide in prison than stay outside.
