Shen Heng looked at the text message for a while, but did not reply.
He read a book in the bedroom, the Christmas holiday is coming to an end soon, and his second year in the United States is gradually starting with the end of the holiday.
When he first came here, Shen Heng's foundation and spoken English were the best among them. Now that he has stayed in the local area for another year, he has no obstacles in the normal and professional communication.Before, their boss at the American law firm left Shen Heng alone at the end of a morning meeting and asked him if he had any plans to stay in the United States.
At that time, Shen Heng temporarily refused on the grounds that the legal systems at home and abroad were different, and his professional ability was not proficient enough.But their boss is a very open-minded American, and he just nodded after listening to him, indicating that he understood, and asked Shen Heng to continue to think about it in the next year, as long as he gave him an answer before he left.
Shen Heng himself is of course unwilling to stay here from now on, and he came here because he had to.There are also his family members and close friends in China, and only in China can he have a real sense of belonging and security.
He flipped through a few more pages of the "United States Code" in his hand. He had been reading it for a while, but it still felt a bit obscure to read like this.He closed his eyes, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and heard a "ding" from the computer next to him.
What was displayed on the screen was an email just sent, the sender was Qin Shuyi, and a message was attached below.
[Shen Heng, the litigation process has made great progress. Documents such as the indictment and the list of evidence have been sent to your email, and you have received a reply. 】
During this year, Qin Shuyi has been helping Shen Heng with this case in his spare time.Because the collection of network evidence is difficult, and the time of evidence is easy to be tampered with, it is still very troublesome to prepare in the early stage.
It was late at night in China when Qin Shuyi sent him emails or held online meetings. The defendant's IP was interfered with before and could not be found, and it was still a fake address after being found.
When Shen Heng heard what Qin Shuyi said, he wanted to withdraw the case, because Qin Shuyi didn't charge him a commission fee, and because his case was so busy that he could hardly rest, he felt guilty, but in the end it was Qin Shuyi who reassured him, Said that there would be a solution to the matter, Shen Heng did not insist on canceling it.
Shen Heng first replied an email to Qin Shuyi, thanked Qin Shuyi earnestly, and then opened the compressed package with the password.
There were not many documents this time. He flipped through them, and there were only eight pages, which were the indictment, the list of evidence, and the basic information of the defendant.
No wonder Qin Shuyi said that the case has made great progress.
Shen Heng turned around and found a mini printer from the cabinet, and typed out all the documents.
He sat at the desk and read carefully one by one. The indictment was drafted by Qin Shuyi, so naturally he couldn't find any faults.The evidence list is full of screenshots collected by Shen Heng during that period, copies of newspapers, etc.
What really interested Shen Heng was the remaining information about the defendants.
At that time, the Weibo account with more than [-] fans who jumped the most, had two people under the skin, but the names of these two people were similar, "Zhao Jiabao, Zhao Jiahao." They seemed to be two brothers, and there was a hint of familiarity.
Shen Heng read their personal information carefully from beginning to end, and finally knew where this vague sense of familiarity came from.
He dug out the WPS in his mobile phone to verify his conjecture. Sure enough, a year and a half ago, in the labor dispute case he fought with Qin Shuyi for the first time, the names of the plaintiff's two sons were impressively the same as the one he had now. The names of the defendants on both documents are exactly the same.
He checked his ID number and home address again, and confirmed that they were indeed the same group of people.
After they lost the lawsuit that time, they used alcohol to pretend to be crazy and blocked themselves in an alley, but Jiang Zhiyu showed up in time to save him.
Although those troublemakers were also taught a bad lesson, when they left, Jiang Zhiyu was murdered from behind, and there was blood on his neck.
Shen Heng's brows were tightly furrowed, he slowly closed his eyes, and carefully recalled the scenes of that night, trying to recall some details.
But as soon as he closed his eyes, the only thing that jumped out of his mind was that night, when there was a sound of heavy objects breaking through the air behind him, Jiang Zhiyu subconsciously held himself in his arms and made that protective gesture.
He can still recall that when he looked up and saw the blood on Jiang Zhiyu's neck, he felt cold and stiff all over for an instant.
But for such a lost lawsuit, is it really worthwhile for them to spend so much time and energy to destroy themselves?
Behind them, there must be someone more powerful.
But at this time, Shen Heng could figure out that the person behind them must be Jiang Zhiyu's father even without using his brain.
He read the papers carefully again, and after confirming that nothing was missing, he put them into the file bag and let out a heavy breath.
Part of the matter settled down, and he felt a little more relaxed than before, but he was inevitably a little nervous after that. After all, this was the first time he filed a lawsuit as a plaintiff.
The weather outside was fine, Shen Heng went to the balcony to see how the morning laundry was dry, felt some damp fabric, and there was a polite knock on the door.
He walked to the door and looked into the cat's eyes, and saw Jiang Zhiyu standing at the door of his house, carrying something in his hand, looking in the direction of his door, with anticipation in it.
As soon as the door opened, Jiang Zhiyu had a happy smile on his face, and called out "Shen Heng" in a gentle tone, and then stood at the door and asked, "Can I come in?"
"What's the matter?" Shen Heng didn't answer him directly, but asked back at the door.
Jiang Zhiyu was not surprised by his reaction. He replied fluently as if he had prepared in advance: "I just finished packing up my new home. Seeing that you haven't replied to my message, come and take a look if you are worried."
"You're on vacation recently, and I'm not busy here. They're all neighbors. I came here to chat with you." Jiang Zhiyu raised his hand and motioned to him what he was carrying: "I bought this Lunch, and a game console, I remember you used to play games, I heard this from my friend, it is said to be more exciting and fun.”
His words sounded impeccable, and because he only helped him in the morning, Shen Heng hesitated for a few seconds, then took two steps back: "Come in."
Jiang Zhiyu agreed happily when he heard the words, came in and took the initiative to change into slippers, took the packed food to warm up, and had lunch with Shen Heng.
Shen Heng bought a small projector when watching movies alone at home. He usually lays on the bed and directly projects the picture onto the ceiling to watch. This position is very comfortable, so he often looks at it in a daze. fell asleep.
At this time, the small projector comes in handy.
Jiang Zhiyu fiddled with the links and tapes of the game console, and installed them one by one according to the instructions.He bought this purely to make Shen Heng happy, and by the way let himself and him stay for a while longer.
Although I am not sure if Shen Heng will like it, but thinking about it, even Shen Heng can play that kind of mentally handicapped battle game for so long, and can marry Song Chenghao in it, so I know that this Shen Heng of mine can at least continue to play .
Thinking of the fact that Song Chenghao and Shen Heng got married in the game, he couldn't help but get angry, but at least he held back. Jiang Zhiyu fiddled with the handle twice, and found that it was ready to use, so he turned around and told Shen Heng with a smile. Heng: "I'm ready, do you want to play together?"
When he was installing games and projections in front, Shen Heng was watching his movements from behind. He could feel that Jiang Zhiyu really tried his best to make himself happy, and also tried his best to be able to spend more time with himself. Stay for a while.
This frivolous and arrogant person in the past is a different person. He is willing to believe that Jiang Zhiyu is really repenting and making up for it, but he does not believe that Jiang Zhiyu can really do what he said, five years, ten years, or even Decades go on and on.
To forgive him is to be sorry for the sincerity that was stifled in those four years, and for the unreasonable trust in feelings.
"What are you thinking about? So engrossed?" Jiang Zhiyu had already walked to Shen Heng's side, holding the handle in one hand and shaking it in front of his eyes.
"It's nothing, what kind of game is this?" Shen Heng came back to his senses, took the controller Jiang Zhiyu handed over, and asked while looking at the animation on the wall.
"The type of gun battle, you can choose to fight between us freely, or you can form a team to fight against others." Jiang Zhiyu patiently explained to him, and at the same time formed a team to pull Shen Heng into it.
It was the first time for Shen Heng to play, and Jiang Zhiyu chose to start the game neatly, as if he was afraid that Shen Heng would not want to form a team with him.
This map was randomly generated. The two of them entered a dark tomb passage, with only sporadic broken lights around them, and a few faint lights on both sides of the tomb passage.
It has to be said that after turning off the lights in the room, the atmosphere of terror was immediately filled. Shen Heng was afraid of the dark, so he held on for a while, but his tense and white fingers exposed his nervousness.
Jiang Zhiyu was observing Shen Heng's movements all the time, and when he sensed his panic, he took a step towards him, patted Shen Heng's back lightly, and comforted him in a low voice: "It's all fake, don't worry about it." Afraid, otherwise we..."
"Da da da - dong -" the sound of the gun was accompanied by the special sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and the character belonging to Jiang Zhiyu was attacked from behind diagonally and fell to the ground and died.
Jiang Zhiyu said: "Otherwise we won't play today, and next time we will change to a less scary game." Before he was halfway through, he saw the words "gameover" on the screen.
Immediately afterwards, several bullets pierced the air and flew from behind. It was too late and then quickly. The character of Shen Heng on the screen turned over and turned around a few times, and the announcement next to it reminded: "Player 'S' If you kill the 'Functionless Passerby', you will get the reward equipment xxx" and so on.
Jiang Zhiyu: "?!"
Shen Heng: "..."
"Baby, you're really good!" Jiang Zhiyu said excitedly beside him, sounding more excited than he himself won the first place.
"Baby, there's someone at the corner ahead!" Jiang Zhiyu stared at the game interface and commanded calmly, while Shen Heng just kept shooting from behind with his eyes closed, and even went straight to the end of the first round, successfully standing in the middle of the tomb passage, Obtained the Champion Chest.
Jiang Zhiyu was still praising Shen Heng for being awesome, talking about game geniuses and other nonsense, while Shen Heng had already turned on the light in the living room and sat on a chair to rest for a while.
He is really afraid of the dark, and just now he was nervously stimulated to perform exceptionally in the dark, and because of Jiang Zhiyu's constant encouragement and guidance, he got No.1.
"I won't play this anymore, I'll change to some more relaxing games." Jiang Zhiyu walked up to Shen Heng and knelt down, gently wiped a few drops of sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, and said with some shame: "I don't I know there are more horror elements in this game, but I didn’t investigate well enough to scare you, sorry.”
Shen Heng shook his head: "Fortunately, it doesn't matter."
"At any time, if you feel uncomfortable, uncomfortable, flustered, or afraid, as long as you need someone to accompany you, tell me immediately, and I will come to accompany you anytime, anywhere." Jiang Zhiyu said quite distressed: "In the future, I don't want you to be alone anymore."
Shen Heng had already calmed down not long after turning on the light. Although he was afraid of the dark, it was far from the level that needed Jiang Zhiyu's comfort. At this moment, he only felt that Jiang Zhiyu was making a fuss over a molehill.
But thinking of Jiang Zhiyu's serious and self-blaming gaze and expression just now, he didn't say much, just nodded and gave a soft "hmm".
He read a book in the bedroom, the Christmas holiday is coming to an end soon, and his second year in the United States is gradually starting with the end of the holiday.
When he first came here, Shen Heng's foundation and spoken English were the best among them. Now that he has stayed in the local area for another year, he has no obstacles in the normal and professional communication.Before, their boss at the American law firm left Shen Heng alone at the end of a morning meeting and asked him if he had any plans to stay in the United States.
