Chapter 211: Talking About Love and Cases (Part 7)

The rich second generation killed by Feng Jiaman was named Zhao Chen, the only son of Zhao Guotian, the chairman of Zhao Group. He usually played wildly. When he met Feng Jiaman, who was working as a waiter in a bar, he was curious and started to pursue her strongly. Feng Jiaman was so annoyed that she was ready to change her job and stay away from him. Unexpectedly, Zhao Chen pulled her into the box with the intention of killing her when he learned that she was going to resign.

Coincidentally, Zhao Guorong, the younger brother of Zhao Guotian, was Jingzhi's husband.

Xu Xiaoli was sorting out case materials in the office, imagining the questions and evidence that the other lawyer might raise. Secretary Cat knocked on the door and walked in and said, "Lawyer Xu, there is a Mrs. Zhao who wants to invite you for dinner. She specifically said her last name is Jing."

Xu Xiaoli raised her eyebrows and smiled, "OK, I know, tell me the time and place for dinner after you arrange it."

At noon, Xu Xiaoli put all the materials related to the case into the study room of the space, then turned off the computer, picked up her coat and walked to the parking lot. In order to go to court conveniently, she bought a car for transportation. Because she was not worried about not making money in the future, she bought a good car directly and did not plan to change it in a few years.

When she arrived at the French restaurant that Cat had booked, Xu Xiaoli walked in and saw Jingzhi waiting there. She nodded politely and distantly, and smiled: "Mrs. Zhao, long time no see."

Jingzhi was a little shocked. It had only been more than a year since they last met, and the temperament of this Yau Ma Tei girl was completely different. If you didn't know her background, you might think she was a lady from a wealthy family! Thinking of her purpose, she said jokingly: "Ms. Xu, long time no see. I didn't expect you to choose the venue here. I thought you would choose a food stall or something like that."

Xu Xiaoli laughed. The last time she had dinner alone with Jingzhi, the original owner was still Jingbo's girlfriend. She was excited to accompany Jingbo's aunt to go shopping and eat. Who knew that Jingzhi directly took a valuable bag worth tens of thousands of yuan and asked her to buy it for her future mother-in-law, and also made sarcastic remarks that made the original owner cry all night.

She said calmly, "I think my secretary booked here just because I often come here to eat." She raised her hand and waved.

The lobby manager opposite happened to see it and came over to ask in French, "Lawyer Xu, what do you want to eat today? A box of your favorite Australian top sirloin has just been airlifted in. Do you want to try it with your friends?"

Xu Xiaoli replied directly in fluent French, "Thank you for your recommendation, Bruno. I need crab meat dumplings, French lobster soup, black pepper Australian top sirloin with creamy potatoes, and for dessert, a vanilla mille-feuille. And red wine." She turned her head to look at Jingzhi, ignoring her frozen face and smiled, "Mrs. Zhao, I wonder what you want to eat?"

Jingzhi wanted to give her a warning, but she didn't expect that the sharp girl who didn't even know the basic social etiquette of the United Kingdom in the past can now socialize in a French restaurant like a fish in water. Although she often travels around the world, the only language she is proficient in is English. Originally, the waiters in Hong Kong Western restaurants all speak Cantonese, but Xu Xiaoli and the lobby manager just spoke in French. It would be too embarrassing for her to speak Cantonese at this time.

Jingzhi gritted her teeth, opened the menu and quickly ordered in English. She smiled uncomfortably: "It seems that Miss Xu has changed a lot during this period of time. By the way, I heard that you just became a barrister. Is your work going well?"

"Very good. It's still very easy to work under my master. It's not as busy as Mrs. Zhao's charity."

Jingzhi felt a blockage in her heart when she heard Xu Xiaoli mention Chen Yuqi. There are only a few senior barristers in Hong Kong, and Chen Yuqi is the best among them. I really don't know what caught her eye about this Yau Ma Tei girl. After taking a deep breath, Jingzhi said with some embarrassment: "Something happened at home recently, and even the Charity Federation was affected. It's really hateful. Achen has been the most obedient and filial since he was a child, but now he was killed by his girlfriend. We are really shocked and angry!"

She raised her head and saw Xu Xiaoli eating elegantly. She had no intention of answering the question, so she had to continue: "I heard that Miss Xu took this case and wanted to sue Achen for that woman? I think Miss Xu must not understand the inside story to have such a misunderstanding about Achen. My nephew is the heir of the Zhao Group. What kind of woman does he want? How could he do such a thing?"

Xu Xiaoli put down her knife and fork and wiped the corner of her mouth, "What does Mrs. Zhao mean?"

"In my opinion, Miss Xu must have been deceived by that woman. She played with Achen's feelings and killed Achen when she couldn't get the money. She was deliberately killing him. She deserves a heavy sentence. But since Miss Xu has already accepted the case, she can't just sit there and do her part. It's better to let her plead guilty. We in the Zhao family can't bear to embarrass a little girl. "Jingzhi thought he had persuaded her, so he took out a check for 100,000 yuan from his bag and pushed it in front of her, "As for Miss Xu's losses, we will compensate you."

"Hehe," Xu Xiaoli chuckled and said to her, "I'm afraid it's Mrs. Zhao who has the misunderstanding. My client, Miss Feng, is innocent. She doesn't need to bear legal responsibility for self-defense. I won't persuade her to plead guilty, nor will I give up suing Zhao Chen."

Jingzhi's smile was a little hard to hold, "Miss Xu, with our friendship, why do you have to be so absolute? Kingsley is also very concerned about Achen's affairs. They are cousins ​​after all. Even for Kingsley's sake, I hope Miss Xu can consider my proposal."

Xu Xiaoli took the bag and said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhao, don't blame me for speaking directly. I think everyone still remembers what happened before. I don't have any friendship with the Jing family and Mrs. Zhao, and Professor Jing is just an acquaintance. Hong Kong is a law-abiding place, so let's solve it through the law. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Before getting up, she said: "By the way, Mrs. Zhao was once my elder, so I'll treat you to this meal, enjoy your meal."

Jing Zhi saw Xu Xiaoli take out the high-end VIP card of this chain restaurant, and then realized how ridiculous her previous check of 100,000 yuan was. She walked out of the restaurant a little annoyed. Things went wrong, and she had to think about how to explain to her husband and eldest brother when she went back. Hearing the sound of a car passing by, she instinctively looked up and saw that it was Xu Xiaoli sitting in the driver's seat, and that car cost at least 500,000!

After Xu Xiaoli resigned from the police station, she used the money she had to buy a few familiar stocks. This was not her first time living in Hong Kong. Although the people and things were different, the supporting things such as stocks, hotels, and maps remained unchanged. Even except for the places related to the plot, other companies, schools, and residences remained unchanged.

After making her first pot of gold from the stock market, she invested in some potential companies, one of which would develop into a multinational company in the future. Hengtian Group, which would rise rapidly with e-commerce in half a year, was just a small company on the verge of bankruptcy when she invested. Her investment saved Hengtian in that special period, and she directly received 50% of the shares. Xu Xiaoli knew that she had taken a big advantage, so she made many useful suggestions to the company on future development trends as compensation.

So Xu Xiaoli's personal assets are now considered rich, at least her daily living standard is not worse than that of Jingzhi and others. After returning home, she checked several companies she had invested in, and happened to have 5% of the shares of the Zhao Group. Recently, the heir of the Zhao Group was killed and would be charged, which would have a great impact on the company. Maybe she could secretly acquire some?

Looking at the data on the screen, Xu Xiaoli used the hacking technology taught by Max to hide her identity and began to acquire scattered shares of the Zhao Group. When the high-ranking Mrs. Zhao lost her support, could she still despise and insult the Xu family so unscrupulously?

Before going to court, Xu Xiaoli went to the police station for the last time to confirm the details with Feng Jiaman, but found that Feng Jiaman's expression was not right, and Feng's mother looked at her with a hint of defense. She put down the documents, clasped her hands on the table, and asked with a smile: "Jiaman, did something happen? You will go to court tomorrow. Lawyers and clients must trust each other so that the other party will not take advantage of you. You have worked so hard for so long, you don't want anything to go wrong, right?"

Feng Jiaman looked at Feng's mother. Feng's mother hesitated and took out a stack of photos from her bag. They were all pictures of Xu Xiaoli and Jingzhi meeting and having dinner. The shooting angles were very good, and anyone who saw them would think that they were having a good chat. In particular, the check on the table was very conspicuous.

Xu Xiaoli looked through it and smiled, "Do you think I betrayed Jiaman because of this?"

Mother Feng asked stiffly, "Why else would you be with the Zhao family? Why did you take her money?"

"Yes, Tina, you said you would help me get rid of the crime. I put all my hopes on you. You..."

Seeing Feng Jiaman was a little excited, Xu Xiaoli raised her hand to interrupt her, "Okay, Jiaman, I didn't take her money. I went to see her just because she is my ex-boyfriend's aunt. It's just ordinary human relations. This is my private matter. I tell you this so that you won't be misled by others. Their purpose is obviously to divide us. Otherwise, who would secretly take these photos and send them to you?"

After that, she reached into her bag, actually taking out a recorder from the space and putting it on the table, "Fortunately, I have a good habit of putting I recorded my meeting with Mrs. Zhao, otherwise it would be hard to prove my innocence. "

The voices of Xu Xiaoli and Jingzhi came out clearly from the recorder, "Mrs. Zhao, long time no see... I'll treat you to this meal, enjoy your meal."

Feng Jiaman and Feng's mother knew that they had been tricked, and they apologized to Xu Xiaoli embarrassedly. Xu Xiaoli waved her hand and smiled, "Now you should have more confidence in me. If they were not afraid of losing, why would they use such a trick? This shows that they are guilty! Jiaman, you see, the evidence I prepared is very sufficient, and we will definitely win tomorrow! As long as you are strong enough to survive tomorrow, you can leave here and go home!"

Feng Jiaman looked down at the questionnaire that Xu Xiaoli had prepared for her, which listed all the sharp questions that the other lawyer might think of. Although she felt heartbroken and humiliated every time she thought of that incident, she was not wrong, and the person who was wrong was Zhao Chen! She must not let herself bear the false accusation!

"Tina, thank you, I will definitely do my best!"
