……

The next day.

Carrying the thin registration slip in his hand, Lu Huaijin walked steadily into the gate of the First Hospital of the City.

However, Zhang Ning's life was derailed by an unexpected incident. An unfortunate incident in the clinic forced him to shorten his consultation hours from Mondays and Wednesdays to Wednesday mornings only.

This change drove away many of the patients who had been coming in an endless stream, and the outpatient waiting area became much more sparsely populated.

Lu Huaijin stepped into Zhang Ning's clinic. The familiar scene and the faint smell of disinfectant inside gave him an inexplicable sense of security.

Even under such circumstances, Zhang Ning still maintained his professional composure and focus, and asked about each patient's discomfort as usual.

"Where do you feel uncomfortable?" Lu Huaijin replied, "My chest hurts all the time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Ning's professionalism was immediately revealed. He instructed his assistant Xiao Qin: "Lift up your clothes. Xiao Qin, close the door."

"Okay, Lawyer Zhu is here and is waiting outside."

Xiao Qin's response was concise and clear, revealing the efficient operation of the entire team.

Zhang Ning hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go see her after I see this patient."

Then, he gently pressed Lu Huaijin's chest and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

Lu Huaijin's answer was a little helpless: "It doesn't hurt, but when I was with my ex-wife, I often felt pain for no reason."

Zhang Ning couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

He was originally planning to tell her casually, "There's nothing wrong with you," but he changed his mind in an instant.

In the medical industry, caution is always more important than optimism.

He decided to write an order for an electrocardiogram, just to be sure: "Do an electrocardiogram, and come back to me when the results come out."

Lu Huaijin took the checklist, stood up, and prepared to move on to the next step.

Right now.

The door slowly opened, and a striking scene came into view: a woman was sitting on a lounge chair, her long dark red hair tied up in a high ponytail, hanging behind her head.

She wore a full black business suit with a white shirt underneath. This classic black and white color combination did not make her look monotonous, but instead highlighted her capable yet feminine temperament.

Even a quick glance was enough for Lu Huaijin to recognize the familiar figure - Ginni.

The Zhu Feiwan of the past.

Five years have passed, and she has transformed into an all-round and knowledgeable woman.

It seems that she can easily acquire knowledge in various fields.

This change is both unexpected and amazing.

Zhu Feiwan felt a burning gaze, and she looked up inadvertently, her eyes meeting Lu Huaijin's.

Lu Huaijin moved slightly, smiled at her indifferently, turned and left.

"Lawyer Zhu, please come in. Doctor Zhang doesn't have any plans right now, but will see you when he's free."

The nurse's reminder broke the brief silence.

Zhu Feiwan responded and walked into the treatment room.

The moment Zhang Ning saw Zhu Feiwan, he couldn't hide a bit of nervousness and quickly stood up.

As the two talked in depth, they talked about the upcoming lawsuit, the charity medical services Zhang Ning had participated in in the past, and those heartwarming memories.

He told Zhang Ning to stay true to himself because the court needed to see their truest side.

Everything was arranged properly. After talking about business, Zhu Feiwan casually mentioned the patient just now, with a hint of curiosity in his tone.

However, Zhang Ning cleverly avoided this topic out of respect for the patient's privacy.

A bitter smile flashed across Zhu Feiwan's lips, and he felt mixed emotions inside.

Everything about Lu Huaijin seemed to no longer be closely connected to her.

Before leaving, Zhu Feiwan reiterated her advice.

Zhang Ning nodded firmly and watched her leave.

Ten minutes passed slowly and the court door slowly opened.

On both sides, people from both camps walked in solemnly in a solemn atmosphere.

The plaintiff, Huang Shihan, was shrouded in solemn black.

Zhu Feiwan, who passed by her, became the focus of Wen Xuemei's attention.

Her eyes unconsciously lingered on the plaintiff's agent, examining him in great detail.

Wen Xuemei's eyes seemed to be glued to Zhu Feiwan's back, and she had to withdraw her gaze until the two of them stepped into the courtroom together.

In the courtroom, both parties sat facing each other. Zhu Feiwan's face was indifferent, as flawless as a sculpture. It was difficult to grasp his true emotions, whether he was nervous or confident, everything was hidden beneath that calm surface.

The courtroom's gallery was almost full. Enthusiastic fans fixed their blazing gazes on Zhang Ning and Zhu Feiwan, constantly expressing their dissatisfaction and insults. The air was filled with a tense and uneasy atmosphere.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the restlessness, and seven or eight well-trained bodyguards rushed in with a momentum that could not be ignored.

Then, a man in a well-tailored suit and with an imposing manner walked in.

His appearance instantly silenced the entire courtroom.

Everyone cast curious glances, and the noise and discussion were subdued at this moment.

"Isn't that Lu Huaijin, the boss of the Lu Group?"

Such doubts quietly arose in the minds of the audience.

Su Yan, as a member of the audience, couldn't help but turn his gaze to this uninvited guest, his brows twisted into an unsolvable knot.

Under everyone's gaze, Lu Huaijin walked calmly to the front row, close to Zhu Feiwan's seat.

The action of sitting down next to Su Yan once again caused a small disturbance at the scene.

"Is he here to support the defendant?" someone speculated in a low voice.

"No, haven't you heard that Lu Huaijin hired Wen Xuemei as his private lawyer? He is naturally here to support Lawyer Wen." Someone else retorted confidently.

Faced with these outside speculations, Wen Xuemei frowned slightly, then quickly regained her usual composure.

She firmly believed that Lu Huaijin's presence would undoubtedly add to her strengths.

However, this little episode did not last long, and the atmosphere in the court became lively again.

Immediately afterwards, Wen Xuemei's mother and Chang Wenjuan walked into the courtroom arm in arm, their destination heading directly towards Wen Xuemei's seat.

When Chang Wenjuan first saw Zhu Feiwan standing in the dock, she was so shocked that she was speechless for a long time and her expression froze.

"My dear relatives, what is going on?" Mother Wen sensitively noticed something strange about Chang Wenjuan.

Chang Wenjuan frowned, her voice trembling slightly: "The defendant's lawyer is my eldest son's wife."

"what?"

Wen's mother was even more surprised. The outside world knew very little about Lu Huaijin's marital status, so in Wen's mother's eyes, Lu Huaijin's current partner should be the woman named Ginni.

"It's fate that makes one of our own family members make a fool of themselves in front of their own door. What should we do?"
