secret galaxy

Early in the morning, Jia Bin happily knocked on Liang Qian's office and reported that the case that had been held in a neighboring city before had been judged, our client won the case, and the court awarded 50 in compensation.

Liang Qian took the disassembled EMS express mail, looked through the verdict, and returned it to Jia Bin, asking him to make a copy of the file, and then call to notify the parties.

Jia Bin took the order to go, and suddenly remembered something, turned his head and reminded that he was going to the construction site in the afternoon, brother Liang, don't forget.

Liang Qian nodded in dismay.

The work of a lawyer is so boring, especially when it comes to real estate disputes. From time to time, they need to go to the construction site to investigate and collect evidence, making them full of dust and dust.Fortunately, the amount of subject matter in construction projects is very large, often tens of millions or hundreds of millions, and lawyer fees have also increased.

Liang Qian had just returned to Yuzhou, and he hadn't received a case of that level yet, but even though the sparrow was small, it was still meat, and he earned some hard money.

He picked up the cup and found that it contained the tea from the day before yesterday, so he threw it away and threw a handful back.

Xingbanglu owns several drinking fountains, but Liang Qian would stroll to the front desk to make tea every time, and talk to Duan Xinghe by the way.

He walked lightly, Duan Xinghe listened to the online class with an earphone plugged in, and didn't notice the movement around him.Liang Qian leaned against the pillar to look at him, Duan Xinghe frowned slightly, his eyes focused on a certain part of the book, and sometimes quickly wrote a few words on the page.

He looked clean and unearthly, like the petals of a flower slightly curled with morning dew.But Liang Qian couldn't help but think of the scene he ran into this morning - Duan Xinghe got out of a pink Maserati, a hand wearing a jade bracelet stuck out the window, trying to grab the corner of his clothes, and was caught by Duan Xinghe. After Xinghe avoided it, he waved it casually, and his diamond-encrusted nails shone brightly in the morning light.

It was a woman's hand, Liang Qian was very sure.

He walked up to Duan Xinghe, bent down and knocked on the table. Duan Xinghe was startled, and reflexively pulled off his earphones. When he looked up, he found that it was Liang Qian.

"Where did you see it?" Liang Qian asked.

Duan Xinghe paused the video, "Possession system."

Liang Qian nodded, but didn't answer for a while.

Usually the two of them are alone, Liang Qian is always eloquent, but today he kept strangely silent. Duan Xinghe felt uncomfortable and took the initiative to break the embarrassment: "I heard from Lawyer Jia that you won the case in Xinshi, congratulations."

Liang Qian raised his eyebrows, proud in his heart, but on the surface he was calm and breezy, smiling without showing his teeth: "I don't have any credit, this case is already settled."

They stood one by one, and the bird's-eye view reminded Liang Qian of the weird dream many years ago. He felt dry, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and asked, "How do you commute to and from get off work these days?"

Duan Xinghe froze for a moment: "It's still riding an electric bike."

"Really?" Liang Qian didn't look at him, pretending to look at the various honorary certificates hanging on the wall, and his tone was very relaxed.

He heard Duan Xinghe give a soft "hmm" after a brief pause.

That being the case, it would be a bit silly to ask again.

The next morning, when Liang Qian drove to Beijing Road, he met that bright Maserati again.This time it was parked on the side of the road, the female car owner wearing sunglasses was talking to Duan Xinghe under the shade of a tree, the two seemed to be arguing fiercely, the woman always wanted to get close to Duan Xinghe, either to grab his hand or hold his shoulder .

Liang Qian was impatient and wanted to get closer to see what was going on, but there were cars all around, and there was no turning point, so he had no choice but to drive forward.Fortunately, the dispute on the side of the highway came to an end quickly. He saw in the rearview mirror that Duan Xinghe got rid of the woman in the sunglasses and rode his electric scooter towards the direction of the office building.

Liang Qian wanted to talk to Duan Xinghe, unfortunately, it was a very busy day. The client of the case in Xinshi came to visit early in the morning, and they chatted in Liang Qian's office all morning. From the beginning of the business, the brothers Talking about the heartache of being jointly betrayed by them, it was long, trivial and full of anger. Liang Qian had heard this story countless times. If it was not for thinking about the unpaid legal fees, he would not want to accompany this The sentimental Mr. Wang poured out bitter water.

Mr. Wang was in a better mood when he received the winning verdict. To express his gratitude, he insisted on inviting Liang Qian to lunch, but Liang Qian refused, and called Jia Bin together, and let him get the civil enforcement entrustment of this case by the way. .

After the dinner, the two returned to the office building exhausted. In the elevator, Jia Bin couldn't help complaining: "Brother Liang, Mr. Wang is too good at talking. I really admire you for being able to deal with him for so long."

"To be a lawyer, patience is also an essential skill." Liang Qian stepped into the gate of the law firm and found that Duan Xinghe was not at the front desk. He looked around and said, "What's the matter? Trial?"

Jia Bin was very clear about the movements of his colleagues, and reported: "Lawyer Ding went to the detention center to meet with him. Sister and Xiaomei went to the Justice Bureau to get the materials for the annual inspection."

"No wonder it's so quiet," Liang Qian walked around the law firm, but couldn't find Duan Xinghe. When he asked Jia Bin, he didn't know, and only said that Duan Xinghe was still there when he got off work at noon.

"Go and do your work. Remember to run a few more times to execute the case. Be thick-skinned." Liang Qian waved his hand, walked into his office, and took a nap in the computer chair.

In fact, I can't fall asleep at all, but I can close my eyes and rest for a while, and I can feel better in the afternoon.

Just as he was in a daze, there was a commotion outside, a man's voice roared strangely, Liang Qian lost all sleepiness and sighed lightly.He thought it was a lawyer and his client who were arguing because he was not satisfied with the outcome of the lawsuit, so he lay lazily and didn't want to move. Unexpectedly, Jia Bin rushed into the office a few minutes later and said to him anxiously: "Brother Liang, someone Come and make trouble, and trouble Duan Xinghe!"

Most of the people in the law firm have gone out today. All the people in the office are trainee lawyers. They just came out of the campus, and most of them are girls. Greasy Man.

"This is my workplace, let's go out and talk about something, don't take pictures!"

When he was still ten meters away from the crowd, Liang Qian could already hear their dispute.Duan Xinghe is a withdrawn character who is afraid of causing trouble to others. Seeing his colleagues gather around one after another, he is even more impatient, and asks the other party to leave in a stern tone.

"What's the matter? Are you scared? You seduce other people's wives and ruin other people's families! You cheated out of millions of dollars from my wife! I just want to shoot at my workplace, what is this... Xingbang Law Firm, bah, hire you This kind of rubbish is not a good thing!"

The speaker was a young man, about 1.7 meters five, with oily hair and pink face, dark pattern shirt, good facial features, but with a fierce look and vulgar temperament, a lot of hair gel was applied on the top of his head, like a wax figure dripping oil.Next to him was a photographer holding a camera, dutifully taking pictures of Duan Xinghe's face, and then went to take pictures of the Xingbang Law Firm logo on the wall and the young female lawyer present.

"You are infringing on other people's right to reputation. Stop now, or I will call the police!" Yu Xue, who just quit the procuratorate, has seen a lot of trouble and stood up to condemn the behavior of the man with hairspray. However, everyone is too polite. A male lawyer Trying to grab the camera, the other party yelled, "It's a robbery! The lawyer beat me! There's no law!"

"Please get out now!"

Duan Xinghe was furious, his breathing was short, his cheeks were flushed, and it was the first time he made such a loud voice after coming to Xingbang.The camera lens immediately turned towards him again, and he tried to wave away impatiently. The boy with hairspray yelled, "What are you doing? Is Xiao San still reasonable?" Then he pushed him hard.

Duan Xinghe staggered back, Liang Qian squeezed into the crowd, caught him just in time, and helped him stand still.

"What are you doing?" Liang Qian stared at the two people across from him, frowning deeply. As soon as he came, everyone seemed to be relying on them, and they shouted "Lawyer Liang" with relief.

The hairspray man immediately realized that this was a thorn, and it was difficult to deal with, but he couldn't figure out whether Liang Qian's arrogance was fake or real, and he still looked at people with his nostrils arrogantly: "I'll take some material, let your unit Famous online, what's wrong, is there a problem?"

Liang Qian snorted coldly: "Do I agree with you coming in?"

"You don't care!" The hairspray man pointed at Duan Xinghe, "It's against morals for you to hire such a scumbag who hooks up with a married woman. Let me tell you, you are the boss, right? Now, fire this kid immediately Otherwise, I will expose all of your shelters on the Internet!"

"I didn't seduce your wife!" Duan Xinghe was furious, his words were incoherent, and he turned around and repeated to Liang Qian, "I didn't seduce his wife. It was his wife herself..."

The corners of his eyes were wet, his voice was a little choked up, and the intensity of his gaze was so heavy that Liang Qian's heart ached.

"I believe you, it's all right." Liang Qian gave him a positive look, then turned to the hairspray man, "You did not make a mistake in threatening the lawyer, did you?"

"What do you mean? No expulsion, okay, Xiao Zhou, let's take a good picture of this law firm and put it on the Internet to help them promote it!"

After all, when it comes to the image of the law firm, the young lawyers onlookers dare not make their own decisions. You look at me and I look at you, like reeds trembling in the wind, for fear of causing unbearable consequences.

"This is a personal matter between me and you. It has nothing to do with the law firm. We will go out and settle it. You delete the things you took." Duan Xinghe saw that the matter was difficult to deal with, so he took a step forward, planning to single-handedly deal with the hairspray man. But Liang Qian grabbed his wrist and pulled him back.

"What are you afraid of? Let them take pictures. Jia Bin, Sister Yu, and Xiao Wu all took out their mobile phones and took pictures together." Liang Qian stared at the man with hairspray with a half-smile, "You must post the video online, see The more people there are, the better. But if you say something wrong today, you won’t be sued for defamation! And you, the photographer, are you also an accomplice, you know?”

"You—" The hairspray man was obviously guilty. The man standing opposite was a young man with wolf-like eyes. His Adam's apple was rolling, and he wanted to say something bluffly. The photographer panicked first, and eagerly defended: "It has nothing to do with me. Mr. Wen invited me here. I don't know the truth!"

Seeing that the coercion was successful, Liang Qian began to seduce: "You really don't know? That's fine, give me the camera."

The photographer glanced at the employer, with a hesitant look on his face, the machine in his hand was shaking and he couldn't hold it steadily.The hairspray man didn't want to let it go, he rushed forward with a curse, grabbed Liang Qian by the collar, and punched him in the face.

Liang Qian was talking to the photographer, but he was unprepared for the sudden attack by the gel-haired man. He had no time to hide and could only resist. Almost at the same time, he felt a force pulling him away, and then he saw the fist land on Duan Xinghe's face .

"Bang", something seemed to explode next to Liang Qian's ear, and the smoke and dust wafted in the air, and his vision became blurred.

The lawyers on the sidelines were furious. They were trying to reason well, but unexpectedly, the man with hair glue used force. A few young men represented by Jia Bin also rushed into the battle group, shouting, "See clearly, we are in self-defense!"

The scene was chaotic, the photographer retreated into the corner in fright, Yu Xue took out her mobile phone to call the police, Liang Qian took a few steps back to protect Duan Xinghe, and turned her head anxiously to check his injury.

The corner of Duan Xinghe's mouth was broken, and bruises had begun to appear on his skin. He seemed to feel embarrassed, so in order to relieve the atmosphere, he actually showed a silly smile.Liang Qian moved his jaw and found that he couldn't speak. He raised his hand to touch his wound, but felt abrupt, so he could only stand solemnly like a dean.

"What's going on, what are you arguing about?" A majestic and cold voice stopped the fight.

Liang Qian looked up and saw that it was Wan Hong.

Attorney Wan is in his 50s and is a senior partner of Xingbang. His position in the firm is second only to Liang Yanjie, but he is too strict and paralegals are afraid of him.Seeing him, Jia Bin and the few boys who made a move were terrified and hid in the crowd in a panic.

Liang Qian didn't expect Wan Hong to be in the office. Usually, these high-ranking guys are haunted, either on a business trip or on the way. Today, the East District is also empty. Who knew he would appear suddenly.

"You guys..." The hairspray man fell on the floor in a panic, his shirt was ripped out of his trousers, and a few strands of bangs fell from his meticulous back.In fact, Jia Bin and the others didn't attack hard, but he just dawdled on the ground and didn't get up for a long time, cursing in his mouth: "What kind of black-hearted lawyer, Xiao San's colleagues are also scum, I'm going to sue you and send you to jail!"

Wan Hong frowned and looked at him: "Sir, stand up and speak."

"Who are you?" the hairspray man got up, stared angrily at Wan Hong, and was about to curse, when his expression suddenly changed, and Wan Hong also raised his eyebrows with a look of disbelief.

The hairspray man held back for a few seconds, then said hesitantly, "Cousin?"

Wan Hong nodded slightly, and asked, "Wen Lang, why did you come to Yuzhou?"

"It's not him!" The hairspray man gritted his teeth and glared at Duan Xinghe, "Fang Lingpan and this boy..."

"Okay!" Wan Hong interrupted the idiot in time, "You guys come to my office, and the others go back to work."

The hairspray man Wen Lang and the photographer's attendant were sheltered, their backs straightened all of a sudden, and they walked towards the office triumphantly. Wan Hong looked at Duan Xinghe, and Duan Xinghe tactfully followed.Liang Qian wanted to join him, but Wan Hong stopped him politely and coldly: "Lawyer Liang, you don't have to. Since it's a private matter, it's not convenient for you to listen."

Liang Qian stopped in his tracks and looked at him with a smile on his face: "Okay, I won't go in, but even though it's a private matter, I believe that Lawyer Wan will handle it with the heart of a gentleman. After all, you have been in the business for more than ten years." Judge's man."

Wan Hong was noncommittal, turned around and entered the office. Before the door closed, Liang Qian heard the exaggerated laughter of the man with hairspray, and asked Wan Hong, uncle, what kind of lawyers did you hire? Are you trying to scare me into thinking I don't know the law?

You know, you know best, you're an idiot.

Liang Qian found an empty seat outside Wan Hong's office and sat down. At first, he was angry and angry, but later turned into worry about Duan Xinghe, for fear that Wan Hong would favor this distant relative who appeared out of nowhere.

Time passed by, and the door finally opened, and the hairspray man walked out arrogantly like a big stupid cock, and said happily: "Cousin, we haven't seen each other for a long time, let's see you this time." To save face, I will not pursue the matter of beating people. I also deleted the video. If you say I misunderstood, then it is my misunderstanding, but I have been married to Fang Lingpan for four years, and the relationship has always been very good. She suddenly Coming to Yuzhou from Cangshi, if there is nothing tricky, hey——I don’t believe it! There are also clothes and watches sent out, hmph!” He gave Duan Xinghe a meaningful and contemptuous look, “This time it’s even Now, if I catch you next time, I'm sorry, cousin, I can't bear it even for your sake."

Liang Qian snapped the phone on the table, making quite a noise.The hairspray man snorted when he saw him, but he didn't dare to continue provoking.

"Brother," Liang Qian said with a bright and meaningful smile, "the ancients said, if you ask yourself, for some things, you still have to find the reason from yourself, especially the relationship between husband and wife. Let me tell you what to do. Tiao Minglu, let me know about Indian oil?"

The hairspray man didn't react at first, he stared at him for two seconds, his face gradually turned red, and he uttered some obscenities incoherently, Wan Hong said helplessly, "Okay, all right", and pressed the hairspray man's shoulder towards the door. push.

The photographer learned how to behave. Before leaving, he kept laughing and kept saying "it's all a misunderstanding".

Only Liang Qian and Duan Xinghe were left in the huge place. Liang Qian turned his head to look at him, and felt his heart suddenly calm down. The previous anger, worry, shock, and joy of playing with the hairspray boy disappeared in an instant. A lingering tenderness.

The scar on the corner of Duan Xinghe's mouth was more obvious than before, with a purple-red swollen area. Liang Qian asked, "Did Lawyer Wan make things difficult for you?"

Duan Xinghe shook his head.

The arrogant attitude of the hairspray man made it difficult for Liang Qian to believe in Wan Hong's integrity. When he was about to question him, he saw Wan Hong approaching from a distance, so he said to Duan Xinghe, "Come to my office."
