Xiaoxia was speechless.
She knew what Wan Li said was right and it was for her own good. But although she was timid, the evil ghost's pressing step by step aroused her strong resistance. Why is she being bullied like this? Why was the honest and cowardly Li Jingming persecuted for no reason, wronged by everyone, and had to bear the tragedy of his family being destroyed? What is the next lawyer going to do in this case? Wasn't there anyone who could help her poor client?
No! Is there any justice in this?
"I want to take over this case and win." She straightened her back, "I can't give in! Even if my horoscope is light enough to float to the sky, I won't give in."
Wan Li sighed secretly.
He knew it! He knew that when Xiaoxia was pushed into a corner and her heart was filled with a sense of justice, her hateful personality would make her desperate - she would completely lose her mind and do things based on her passion.
Ruan Zhan watched the development of the matter with a cold eye, but he did not expect Xiaoxia's answer, which made him feel a little admiration. But admiration is admiration, and this kind of behavior is really idiotic. Quite an idiot. How is she a match for that evil spirit!
Xiao Xia on the side seemed to understand his inner thoughts and walked directly towards him, giving him a bad premonition.
"You have to help me this time." She grabbed his arm, "Without your help, Li Jingming will be dead, and I will be dead too."
Ruan Zhan looked into her eyes curiously. It turns out that she knew that her life would be in jeopardy if she acted like this. It turned out that she knew her own weight, but why should she ask for his help. Doesn't she hate him?
"Help me, help me, help me, help me!" She started to pull his arm, not in a coquettish way, but rather in a coercive way. Of course, based on her status in his mind, she was not qualified to act coquettishly, but when did she have the right to force him?
It’s good to be a woman, you can change your attitude at any time. One minute she was being favored by him and she was dismissive of him, but the next minute she was unreasonably making even more extreme demands from him.
"What on earth did you say?" Wan Li saw that one of them was determined to overcome all difficulties and almost knelt down to beg, but the other remained silent and couldn't help but interrupt again.
In fact, he is optimistic about the cooperation between the two of them because he knows Ruan Zhan's perseverance. He always does things from beginning to end. Since he promised to ensure Xiaoxia's safety, no matter how much Xiaoxia bothers or how powerful the evil spirit is, he will fulfill his promise.
Sure enough, Ruan Zhan's expression was a little loose.
"Before this incident, did you believe that there were ghosts in the world?" He suddenly asked Xiaoxia.
"I 'hope' there is."
"To prove that life is eternal?" Ruan Zhan sneered in his heart. This is a person who has lived a lifetime of exhaustion, pain and haggard, yet he still expects immortality and rebirth in the next life!
His question stunned Xiaoxia for a moment. She looked down at the jade amulet on her body, thinking of her deceased grandma, and a burst of moisture filled her eyes.
"To prove that death is not eternal," she answered.
Looking at her sudden sadness, Ruan Zhan decided to help her because of her unexpected answer.
That afternoon, Xiaoxia arranged to meet Li Jingming again. And on this day, she also did the first illegal thing in her life - she tampered with the letter of introduction to the firm, coaxed and threatened to send Xiao Wang home, and asked Ruan Zhan to pretend to be her accompanying lawyer to the detention center. It's a good thing to be determined to help others, but safety issues should also be considered. Something was obviously wrong with Li Jingming last time, so it was necessary to bring a personal bodyguard. Besides, her bodyguard was psychic, which made her less scared when she thought about it, and it made her bubbling with pride.
Nothing said! He really looks like a lawyer. Wearing suits and leather shoes, smart and capable.
Ruan Zhan did not object to her proposal because he had some doubts in his heart that could only be solved by meeting Li Jingming in person.
When they arrived at the detention center, because Xiaoxia had been there last time and almost had an accident during the interview, the police were very impressed and did not pay much attention to the differences in the accompanying lawyers, which made Xiaoxia and Ruan Zhan smooth. Met the suspect Li Jingming.
When Li Jingming sat in front of Xiao Xia, even though Ruan Zhan was by his side, Xiao Xia still felt frightened. It wasn't that he had done something terrible again, but that he was even more haggard than he had been a week ago, as if he were a dried mummy.
What kind of spiritual torture does he have to endure every day!
Xiao Xia felt infinite sympathy for Li Jingming, but she was still too shameful to look at his face because she heard that looking at a mummy's face would lead to being possessed by evil spirits.
"Speak." Ruan Zhan reminded her in a low voice.
"Huh? What did you say?" Xiao Xia was stunned, then remembered that she was here to meet the client, so she quickly started her official opening statement. Ruan Zhan on the side was very stunned and didn't understand how such a person became a lawyer. Seeing her appearance, would anyone dare to defend her?
Li Jingming raised his head.
Xiaoxia forced herself to look directly at him, and she could clearly see the change in his eyes from complicated pain and calm despair to malice and weirdness.
"There you go again. You're going to die." He said in a voice that could not be heard by the police officer next to him.
Xiao Xia is sure that this is not Li Jingming anymore, but isn’t that ghost possessing the landlord? Why are you here again! She subconsciously pulled Ruan Zhan's arm, but Ruan Zhan sat still as solid as a rock, as if waiting for Li Jingming to have an attack.
"I want to live well, and I will do everything in my power to prevent Li Jingming and his son from dying." Ruan Zhan's attitude was clearly to anger the devil in Li Jingming, so Xiaoxia became bolder and tried her best to cooperate.
The police officer on the side saw them muttering and couldn't hear what they were saying, so he came over in a warning manner.
"You are looking for death!" The ghost suddenly became angry.
"Then you have to be able to kill me."
Xiaoxia didn’t know if this sentence was too harsh. Anyway, ‘Li Jingming’ suddenly stood up and rushed towards her, but Ruan Zhan and the police officer were faster than him. The police officer quickly grabbed his shoulder, while Ruan Zhan put a talisman on his forehead.
"What are you doing?" The police officer was very surprised, probably thinking that the lawyer was crazy.
"Nothing, it's this." Ruan Zhan opened the palm of his other hand, and there was a yellow paper bag with strange lines on it. While the policeman was lowering his head, Ruan Zhan patted his head and said, "Nothing happened, you just got dizzy." He induced.
Like the landlord in the morning, the police officer sat down on his chair obediently and fell unconscious at his desk.
Xiao Xia looked at the police officer who was easily subdued and 'Li Jingming' who was struggling across the street as if he was trapped by an invisible rope, and suddenly felt that this man was a bit scary. He can exorcise ghosts and make people. If he were to deal with him, he would die like a scumbag.
Ruan Zhan seemed to know what Xiao Xia was thinking, and explained: "It's just high-level hypnosis and a little drug." He waved the yellow paper bag in his hand, "It's not evil."
"Such a high rank can only be found in Liaozhai."
"Whatever you say. Don't worry, it won't be used against you."
"You swear."
"This method is better than suddenness. The defensive effect will be compromised or even ineffective." This is indeed hypnosis, but it is an ancient technique that has been lost for a long time. Various levels of hypnosis methods are different and do not exist. Discounted or invalid claims. But he had to lie to her so that she wouldn't be suspicious and startled.
"You swear!" Somehow, Xiaoxia felt that although this man was bad, he must be trustworthy, so she could feel at ease only after he swore an oath.
"Okay, I swear." Ruan Zhan compromised.
He looked sideways outside and saw that no one had noticed what was happening in the room. He quickly reminded: "Don't waste time, quickly ask 'Li Jingming' what happened, otherwise I can't help you, and neither can you." Help him."
"How do you ask this?" Xiaoxia pointed at 'Li Jingming' who was still resisting and struggling like rocking a boat.
Ruan Zhan no longer delayed, still painting the void. This looked very strange in Xiaoxia's eyes, and she didn't understand why he drew a fishbone invisibly in the air. But this fish bone was very effective, and 'Li Jingming' calmed down and gradually became a real 'person'.
