He broke his vows for her, and a tycoon descended to earth for love.

Chapter 61 Your life's pursuit is not fame and fortune

"Attorney Ye, what would you like for lunch? Would you like me to bring you something?"

Assistant Xiao Zhang knocked on the door, poked his head out, and asked Siyi, who was sitting inside.

Siyi rested her chin on her hands, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed tightly.

She stared intently at the black and white business card in front of her, lost in thought.

"Attorney Ye? Attorney Ye?"

Xiao Zhang called her for a while but she didn't respond, so he raised his voice a little.

Siyi suddenly snapped out of her daze. "Huh? What's wrong?"

Seeing her absent-minded look, Xiao Zhang assumed she was worried about the case again. "Attorney Ye, you must be worried about the case, right? How about I get you some lunch? You haven't eaten anything yet, and it's almost one o'clock."

Siyi raised her wrist to check the time; it was indeed almost one o'clock.

She glanced at Xiao Zhang at the door, and instead of answering, said, "Xiao Zhang, don't rush to eat. Come in, I have something I want to talk to you about."

Xiao Zhang gave a suspicious "Oh," walked into the office, and closed the door behind him. "Attorney Ye, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Siyi thought for a moment before speaking, "You've also studied Sun Xiaoman's case, haven't you? Tell me your thoughts."

Xiao Zhang wasn't too surprised when Siyi asked that question.

Siyi usually takes good care of her and often asks her for her opinions on lawsuits, so this time she took the initiative to ask.

Xiao Zhang took it as her testing him.

After a moment of hesitation, he then spoke.

“I’ve looked at Sun Xiaoman’s file. She has no criminal record, and although her education level isn’t very high, she’s said to be very capable at work. Her family is just average. However, she has a boyfriend who works at the same company and is currently the head of the human resources department. He’s always performed very well and is likely to be promoted. Based on this information alone, I don’t think Sun Xiaoman has any reason to seduce the defendant. Besides, she seems like a quiet and pretty girl. Hmm, I think the evidence that the defendant’s lawyer suddenly presented in court was likely just a pretext for the defendant to escape punishment. Moreover, Sun Xiaoman later said that she didn’t do those things. But…”

Xiao Zhang paused suddenly at this point, seemingly hesitant.

Siyi pursed her lips, signaling her to continue.

"I think Sun Xiaoman is a bit strange, I can't quite put my finger on it."

Xiao Zhang voiced his doubts, "Attorney Ye, you may not know this, but after leaving the court that day, you left first because you had something to do. Later, I saw Sun Xiaoman arguing with the defendant across the street. I don't know what they were saying, but they seemed to be arguing very fiercely. I was standing on the other side of the street at the time, but when I wanted to go over and see, she suddenly disappeared."

Siyi felt her heart pound twice.

That ominous feeling deep inside became increasingly pronounced.

She suddenly stood up, bracing herself on the table with both hands, and said with some annoyance, "Xiao Zhang, why didn't you tell me about something so important sooner?"

“Ah? Attorney Ye… I… I’m not entirely sure either, which is why I didn’t say anything. And I really think… if Sun Xiaoman wasn’t wronged, there’s no need for her to make such a big fuss and go to court. After all, this isn’t a good thing for her…”

Xiao Zhang hurriedly explained, seeing Si Yi's unfriendly expression, she felt flustered, "Attorney Ye, I'm sorry, I actually forgot..."

"Never mind, this is none of your business."

Realizing her tone had been a bit harsh, Siyi quickly waved her hand, forcing a smile. "It's alright, I know what I'm doing. Xiao Zhang, you don't need to bring me lunch. Go eat first. I might not be at the office this afternoon, so call me if anything comes up."

Xiao Zhang said "Oh," turned around, and quickly walked out of the office.

Siyi sat down again.

Looking at the business card in front of him, he took two deep breaths.

Then she closed her eyes, and opened them three seconds later.

She took out her phone and dialed the number.

The phone was answered after three rings. A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end, amidst some background noise, "Hello, is this Mr. Tan?"

"Yes, are you?"

"Hello, I am Attorney Ye Siyi from XX Law Firm. I have something I'd like to discuss with you. Would it be convenient for us to meet?"

Siyi originally thought that the other party would refuse her request.

I'll at least consider it.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Tan on the other end immediately agreed.

Siyi wanted it to be as soon as possible, so she arranged to meet in half an hour.

The place they agreed to meet wasn't far away.

Siyi didn't even bother to eat; she grabbed her bag and drove off.

After arriving, I waited for about ten minutes before a man walked towards me.

He looked to be in his fifties, but he was well-maintained, with a buzz cut, a square face, and a very honest appearance.

He recognized Siyi at a glance and smiled at her very kindly, "You must be Attorney Ye, right?"

Siyi quickly stood up. "You know me?"

"I don't know you, but there aren't many people in this cafe at this time. Judging from your clothes, I can probably guess who you are." The other person sat down in front of her.

Siyi sat down as well.

She was pondering how to bring it up, since Jiang Yan's business card only had a phone number and a name on it.

Does the other person know the purpose of this meeting?

"Attorney Ye, I know why you came to see me today. Is this for you?"

Unexpectedly, this man surnamed Tan acted even faster than her. Before she could even speak, he went straight to the point and handed her something wrapped in a yellow paper bag, saying directly, "Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. I'm just doing this for someone. And I think what's inside will definitely help you. I've read the recent newspapers, and I know you're currently dealing with this lawsuit. I think this is exactly what you need. You don't need to doubt its authenticity. In fact, you'll know once you see it; it can't be faked."

Siyi was increasingly surprised as she watched him reach out and straighten his collar, preparing to leave.

She quickly stood up, walked around to his side, and blocked his way. "Mr. Tan, if I may be so bold, I'd like to ask, who asked you to do this for?"

The man smiled slightly and didn't keep them in suspense. "Of course it's Young Master Yan. Lawyer Ye, don't you know him? Actually, if Young Master Yan hadn't said it, I wouldn't have wanted to get involved in this mess. I'm a businessman, and the thing business people hate most is going to court and being a witness. And to be honest, I know Miss Sun Xiaoman too, and I don't want to offend anyone. But since Young Master Yan said it, I can't refuse."

He paused, then said, "Attorney Ye, if you feel it's necessary, I'm willing to testify in court."

After saying those words, the man bid farewell to Siyi.

Siyi stood there, stunned.

She watched the man walk a long way before turning back to look at the yellow paper bag on the table.

She hesitated for a long time before finally picking up the paper bag, paying the bill, and hurriedly leaving the cafe.

Once I got in the car and opened it, I realized it was a tape.

Siyi thought that if her guess was correct, this should be some kind of surveillance videotape.

Anyway, it's definitely related to Sun Xiaoman.

Actually, she was still a little hesitant.

Because the most basic thing for a lawyer is to trust their client.

However, there is too much evidence to prove that Sun Xiaoman did not tell her the truth. Should she continue to help her with the lawsuit against her conscience, or choose to find out the truth?

Since I officially became a lawyer, my career has been smooth sailing.

Although she lost her first lawsuit, she received high praise from people in the industry at the time.

But if she lost this case, she knew her abilities would definitely be questioned...

but--

Did she become a lawyer to get ahead in the first place, rather than to uphold justice?

What is true justice?

That means you can't go against your conscience to file a lawsuit. If you are really wrong, then you must correct it.

Now that she has such an opportunity, why is she still hesitating?

Was it simply because he was unwilling to lose to Jiang Yan Hui?

She took a deep breath.

She knew that no matter what, she couldn't be the one to distort the truth.

Ye Siyi, your life's pursuit is not fame and fortune, but helping those who truly deserve it.

Winning or losing isn't the most important thing to you!

Thinking about it this way, she suddenly had a sudden realization.

Yes, she is determined to find out the truth.

She absolutely cannot be someone who can't distinguish right from wrong!

Even if he lost to Jiang Yan Hui...

She returned to the office in the evening and watched the footage on the tape on her computer.

Although the image wasn't very clear, you could definitely make out the people in it.

There was a man and a woman; the woman was Sun Xiaoman, the client, and the man was the defendant.

In the picture, Sun Xiaoman is dressed in a particularly glamorous way, with smoky makeup.

She was completely different from the woman I usually saw.

It exudes a wild beauty.

The two were pulling and tugging at each other, talking about something, until the man finally pushed Sun Xiaoman against the wall.

But Sun Xiaoman did not refuse at all.

The scene quickly shifted to an R-rated level...

Siyi turned off the computer with a cold face and a snap.

She returned the tape to the back of the box, repacked it, and put it back in her bag.

Finally, he took out his phone to call Sun Xiaoman.

Unexpectedly, the phone rang for a long time without being answered. Siyi was not giving up and dialed several more times. Finally, the call went through, but it was a man's voice.

It was very impolite; the background was extremely noisy, like being in a private room at a karaoke bar.
