Li Xiao came to the prison and passed through the iron gates. The prison guards took him to a separate reception room.

"Please step back," the prison guard demanded.

Li Xiao took a few steps back. The prison guard opened a heavy door, and Wu Ruize was already sitting inside.

Li Xiao walked in, and behind him, the door was closed again.

Wu Ruize turned his head and looked at him.His eyes were a little dazed, and after a long time, he said hello:

"Hi."

"Hello." Li Xiao responded.

Although he did not personally handle this case, as a partner of a law firm, he knew the basic situation.Looking at Wu Ruize, who had been sentenced to death in front of him, a complex emotion suddenly rose in his heart.

"I'm Li Xiao from Zonghan Law Firm." He introduced himself, "Are you... feeling... okay now?"

"At this time, what else is good?" Wu Ruize sighed and said softly: "The matter has come to an end, and I can sleep well."

"That's good too." Li Xiao responded, "Now, as long as I can calm down my emotions and reduce the pain, that's good."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiao cursed himself in his heart for what he said was bullshit.

Fortunately, Wu Ruize's reaction was quite calm.

"Lawyer Li, why did you come to see me today?"

Just when Li Xiao was about to tell him about the call from the clerk of the Court of Appeal, a thought came to his mind like lightning.

He hesitated.

"Is there something wrong with my appeal?" Wu Ruize stared at him, his eyes locked on his face, not letting go of any clue.

"No, there's no problem." Li Xiao was afraid of being greeted by him, so he quickly denied, "Our appeal application was only submitted last night, and we didn't get news so soon."

Wu Ruize nodded, lowered his eyes and stopped talking.

The atmosphere in the reception room made Li Xiao a little breathless.He began to regret that he should not have accepted this task.He boasted that he had never been a sympathetic person, but looking at Wu Ruize, who was already dying in front of him, he still couldn't help but feel an indescribable sadness.

Maybe it’s because we are human beings, and things harm their own kind?

"Is there anything I can do for you?" Li Xiao broke the silence and asked.

Wu Ruize raised his head, the pupils of his eyes seemed to be experiencing an earthquake:

"I want to meet my daughter before I die. Even if it's just a phone call and hearing her voice."

"After being detained for so long, your daughter has never come to see you?" Li Xiao found it incredible.

Wu Ruize shook his head slowly:

"Forget it, I can understand. The child is feeling bitter. She... hates me." As he spoke, he took a deep breath and suppressed the tears that had already poured into his eyes:

"Actually, what can we do if we meet her once? After such a long time, it may be difficult for the child to start a new life. I should not disturb her anymore."

Li Xiao didn't know what to say. He looked at the time and saw that it was already 10 minutes away from the agreed hour.Chen Zonghan said that before Leyun called, they needed to have a three-way call.

"Wait for me for a moment, I'll be right back." He said to Wu Ruize.

After speaking, Li Xiao knocked on the door. The prison guard opened the door from the outside and he walked out.

An Daiqing parked her car in the parking space in front of Lu Yin's villa. She locked the car, walked quickly to the door, and pressed the doorbell.

Leyun hurriedly came over and opened the door for her.

"Well..." An Daiqing looked around and couldn't help but sigh: "It is indeed the mansion of the richest man in Bincheng. It is indeed tasteful."

"Hey," Le Yun rolled her eyes, "Are you going to be so exaggerated?"

Le Yun took her to the study room and used the coffee machine to make two cups of mocha.

An Daiqing looked at the time and said to Le Yun:

"The boss wants me to use my mobile phone to initiate a three-way call before you call back. He should still be on his way back to the law firm. Li Xiao is in prison now with Wu Ruize."

As she said that, she took out her mobile phone and started a call:

The first one to speak was Li Xiao:

"Le Yun, are you sure that the clerk said that there is information that needs to be supplemented, rather than that there is a problem with our appeal materials and needs to be corrected?"

"Yes," Le Yun was very sure, "I'm sure he said that supplementary information needs to be submitted."

"Okay, when you call back later, you must not make it obvious that you want him to reveal more information to you. This is very important, you must remember it." Li Xiao took the trouble to instruct.

"Li Xiao is right," Chen Zonghan said. "The most important thing is that you have to speak naturally. You can tell him that you are proofreading the supplementary documents to be submitted, and then try to find a solution as calmly as possible." Let him talk more.Only in this way is it possible to get more information. "

"You can try to ask him to reveal which part of the appeal the supplementary materials correspond to."

"Or ask him what part of the appeal was missing."

"However, if you ask like this, he may become suspicious. Therefore, you must pay attention to organizing your language and not ask too directly."

"Yes, but you also have to express your meaning accurately. He made this call to you in private, so it is very likely that he will not be able to explain much to you."

Li Xiao and Chen Zonghan, you gave me various suggestions and requests.

Le Yun suddenly felt that she was under a lot of pressure and even began to feel a little at a loss.

An Daiqing looked at her "poor" look and couldn't help but said to the phone:

"You two, after all, it is Le Yun who wants to answer this call. I think the most important thing is to let her act according to the situation and adapt to changes."

"That's right," Li Xiao nodded, "In short, any information revealed by this clerk will be helpful to us. You haven't seen Wu Ruize's current state. Even a hard-hearted person like me People can’t stand it anymore.”

"Okay, Leyun, please adjust your thinking. We will keep in touch on the phone. If anything happens, we can communicate at any time."
