Marrying into a rich family again, the road to becoming a partner

While traveling between the two interrogation rooms, there was a sense of excitement and mystery about traveling in parallel time and space, but gradually, as the times increased, Chen Yifan felt a little bored.

Once again, he repeated to Li Siyi what he had just said in another interrogation room. Facing his temptation, Li Siyi shook his head resolutely:

"I will not betray William, and I know that he will not betray me."

Chen Yifan found it very interesting because he clearly saw a hint of sadness in Li Siyi's determined eyes.

"But, have you ever thought that he has a large group of big-name lawyers over there, and what those people are best at is controlling the client's heart. At every moment now, they may destroy his defenses and frustrate his will."

Li Siyi looked at him contemptuously:

"I won't believe you," she said seriously, though her eyes were sparkling with tears.

Chen Yifan smiled, changed to a more comfortable posture, and leaned on the back of the chair:

"The love of young people is really touching." He sighed softly, "Do you think love can really conquer everything?"

Li Siyi looked at him and said nothing.

Chen Yifan sat forward and stared closely into Li Siyi's eyes:

"Beyond spending the rest of your life in prison? Or even—death?"

Li Siyi's lips were trembling, her brows were furrowed and she looked away.

Cold tears slid down her cheeks.

Chen Yifan didn't say anything anymore. He stood up, opened the door, and walked out.

The moment the door was closed, Li Siyi fell weakly on the chair.She raised her teary eyes and looked helplessly at her lawyer Anson.

During lunch break, Le Yun was sitting in the interrogation room with Lu Weilan when her cell phone suddenly rang.

The caller is Lu Yin.

"Hello." She answered the phone, left the interrogation room, and came outside the police station.

"Are you at the police station?" Lu Yin's voice came from the receiver. "Have you had lunch?"

"After eating, the boss invited us to have a lunch." Le Yun said with a smile, "What about you, in the company?"

"I'm in the hospital," Lu Yin paused, "Lu Zhenting is awake."

"Awake?!" Le Yun was surprised and happy, "This is really good news. Now, Auntie can breathe a sigh of relief."

“I just asked her to go back and rest. How is the situation over there with William Lu?”

"Basically, it remains the same. But -" Le Yun lowered her voice, covered the phone and said, "I feel that his nerves have been stretched to the limit, and he may speak at any time."

"Okay." Lu Yin said, "If there are any changes, please call me anytime."

"Ok."

After hanging up the phone, Le Yun did not go back immediately.

Although it's the middle of winter, the sun is shining brightly today.The slightly blowing wind is not only not cold, but also gives people a refreshing feeling.

Le Yun wanted to stay a little longer and get some air.

"Lawyer Le is really good at finding a place to have some fun here. It feels really good."

Le Yun turned around and saw Li Xiao standing behind her.

"Lawyer Li is in a good mood." Le Yun smiled.

"If you wear a mask for a long time, you have to take it off to take a breather."

Li Xiao's words sounded very meaningful, and Le Yun couldn't help but look at him curiously.

"What?" Li Xiao raised his eyebrows, "Don't you have the same feeling? People like us who wander between black and white all day long and may sell our souls to the devil at any time know how to withdraw at the right time. You won’t forget who you are. Seriously, have you ever hated this career?”

Li Xiao's words made her speechless for a moment. Le Yun thought about it and shook her head:

"No," she said.

"Even if the boss asks us to sacrifice Li Siyi in order not to offend Lu Yin, don't you feel disgusted?"

"I don't think it's appropriate to say disgust. People's status is different, and the things they have to consider and take into consideration are also different. I think he felt helpless when he made this decision."

"If I told you that there is a law firm that can give you maximum freedom to decide which cases you want to take and what strategies you want to use to defend them, would it be very attractive to you?"

Le Yun frowned slightly:

"what do you mean--"

"I might as well tell you directly," Li Xiao looked up at her, his eyes calm and magnanimous, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter, "I and several partners are preparing for our own law firm, and we think you are very important. Excellent lawyer, I hope you can join. Of course, you will still be a partner in the new law firm. I can guarantee that in the future, you will only get more than you did at Zonghan Law Firm."

The news brought by Li Xiao surprised Le Yun. She stood there blankly and said nothing.

"I know that your relationship with Chen Zonghan is unusual. This is a difficult decision for you. I will give you time to think about it, but -" He curled his lips and said half-jokingly and half-seriously, " I hope I’m not wrong about your character. No matter what decision you make in the end. I hope that at this stage, you can keep it confidential for us.”

Le Yun nodded. Just as she was about to say something, Chen Zonghan came over from behind:

“William Lu is starting to waver, and he has something to tell us.”

"Wow, this is good news." Li Xiao whistled and said dramatically.He glanced at Le Yun meaningfully, then walked straight in.

Le Yun followed the two of them, feeling that her steps were a little heavy.
