Xiaoxia hesitated whether to give up the case.

Not to mention whether it is allowed to change the defense lawyer without justifiable reasons when there are still two days left in court, even she herself cannot pass this test.

Yes, at the beginning she wanted to stay away from the case because of fear. Various circumstances and coincidences forced her to persevere, and the purpose of perseverance was also to finally let go. But when things got to this point, even though the director had returned, she had the idea of ​​winning the lawsuit. Because the ghost tortured her, which made her furious, and because she felt deep pity for Li Jingming.

She believed that Li Jingming must have been possessed by this ghost to do such unforgivable things, but why did the ghost do that? And how does Li Jingming face the heavy sin of killing his family with his own hands? Is it really good to rescue him? So what if the case is given to someone else? Should we let him die unjustly? What's more, even if she fights this lawsuit, how to fight it is still a problem. Unless it is proved that Li Jingming suffered from a mental illness that caused him to lose the ability to act and recognize at the time of the incident, he cannot be exempted from liability. And being possessed by a ghost is not a mental illness in any way, and no one would believe such a thing.

Of course Wan Li tried his best to persuade her to give up the case, and she could understand that he was doing it for her own good. But Ruan Zhan spoke coldly to her and threatened that if she didn't give up, he would ignore anything that happened. This made her angry. She wanted to show him that she had solved the problem, but she knew that there was no such indifferent person. Humans can't do it. Because although he didn't say anything, since she lived with him, she really felt safe, and she no longer had nightmares and terrifying hallucinations.

All kinds of thoughts made her feel confused, and she made no decision all morning.

"We'll decide after lunch." She gave herself an ultimatum and looked out the window. Only then did I realize that the sky was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and it looked like a mountain rain was about to come and the wind filled the building.

The office door opened with a bang, and Xiao Wang poked his head in. "Sister-in-law!"

"Huh?" Xiaoxia was startled. She has always been like this recently, the slightest movement can make her jump with fear, and she still wants to handle a ghost-related case, which even she thinks is whimsical.

"Someone is looking for you."

"Oh, Dr. Wan came to see me for lunch."

"It's not Dr. Wan. It's an aunt who said she was your landlord."

"Landlord?" Xiaoxia was surprised. What's wrong with her? Could it be that the battle of the century in her room was exposed the day before yesterday? She walked to the reception in confusion and saw the landlord standing at the window with his back to her.

"Aunt Liu? What do you want from me?" she asked.

The landlord turned around, his eyes flashed blue for a moment, and then he laughed silently.

Xiaoxia was stunned, and all the blood in her body rushed to her heart. It was true that this was the landlord Aunt Liu, but Xiao Xia was familiar with every detail of that smile, the stiffness, weirdness, and twist of the muscles - she had seen it before when she bumped into a ghost in her nightmares. Just like the face of the buried paper figure, the expressions are all painted on.

"Why did you seduce my husband?" the landlord said softly.

"Ah? Who is your husband?" Xiaoxia was confused, but she still took a few steps towards the door.

"Why did you seduce my husband?" the landlord suddenly shouted, pulled out a sharp knife that he carried with him and stabbed him with all his strength. "Vixen, I will kill you and let you seduce someone else's husband! Vixen!"

Because Xiaoxia had already prepared to escape, she narrowly avoided this fatal stab. But the landlord's madness frightened her, and she had to flee in panic. She ran away in terror, and the landlord pursued her relentlessly, causing the whole office to panic and alarming everyone. Some male lawyers tried to stop the landlord, but she was so strong that they couldn't subdue her at all.

"Vixen, I will kill you and let you seduce someone else's husband! Vixen!" She shouted repeatedly mechanically.

Xiaoxia tripped over a chair in panic, and the pain in her ankle told her that this was not a dream. She wanted to get up, but the landlord had already arrived and raised a sharp knife.

"I told you not to mind your own business!" Her expression suddenly stopped being crazy and turned into an indescribable gloom. "Retribution has arrived."

At this moment, Xiaoxia understood that the landlord was also possessed by the ghost, but she was powerless and could only close her eyes in front of the waving sharp knife.

However, the expected severe pain did not come. Instead, the landlord's deformed roar of reluctance was heard all over his ears. She opened her eyes and saw Ruan Zhan strangling the landlord's neck from behind with one hand, and grabbing her knife-holding hand that was desperately trying to break free with the other hand.

"Wanli!" he shouted.

Wan Li rushed out from the other side, grabbed the knife savagely, and pushed the struggling landlord face down on the table. Ruan Zhan turned his back to everyone, and only Xiao Xia saw his lips moving as if he was thinking something, and he slapped his palm on the middle of the landlord's head.

"Go home directly." He ordered.

Xiao Xia watched in astonishment as the landlord's expression quickly changed from evil to dull. After Wan Li let go, he ran out like the wind.

"It's okay, it's just a misunderstanding." Wan Li pulled up Xiaoxia and said to everyone and the security guard who rushed up, "This is my patient, who has dual symptoms of paranoia and delusion."

"She is not delusional that you are her husband!" Xiao Wang said.

His joke made the shocked people laugh.

"Yes, so she came to cause trouble for the innocent Xiaoxia. Everyone knows that I am good to Xiaoxia!" Wan Li's nonchalant admission made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Director Pan looked at the 'smoke-filled battlefield' and frowned.

"Doctor Wan," he called Wan Li, "please remember that your clinic is on the fourteenth floor, not here. I hope this will never happen again."

"I know, I'm sorry. I promise this won't happen again."

"That's good, we are a friendly unit." Director Pan nodded, and then looked at the many subordinates who were still in a daze, "Don't be stunned, quickly clean up, what does it look like. And you-" He pointed Xiaoxia, "Don't bring personal matters to work in the future."

Xiao Xia nodded hurriedly like a chicken pecking at rice, and then directly brought the two men into her office without caring about cleaning up the mess.

"She's possessed by the ghost," she announced.

"Obviously." Ruan Zhan replied calmly.

"It seems that you really just sealed it that day, but it was released so quickly?" Wan Li asked worriedly.

"This is also obvious."

His indifferent attitude made Xiao Xia a little dissatisfied, "Is this the end? I mean - won't you help her drive away the ghost? You should have this ability. Where is she - running to ?"

"You are really free, she was going to kill you a minute ago."

"She is possessed by a ghost and doesn't know what she is doing."

"As long as you know what you are doing." Ruan Zhan retorted coldly. He went to someone's house this morning and had a bad feeling when he came back. He hurriedly made a divination and was able to arrive here in time to eliminate the disaster. It seemed that some people didn't appreciate it.

"It's not that Azhan doesn't help to drive away the ghost." Wan Li smelled the smell of fire and quickly tried to smooth things over, "This ghost is very powerful. If you forcefully evict it without any preparation, it will harm the parasite, which is your landlord's body. If you don't do it right, people will die."

"That's it! Then - I'm sorry, I blamed a good person wrongly." Xiaoxia corrected her mistake when she realized it, but she still didn't understand, "But it's daytime, how could it come out to do evil!"

"If it is attached to a person, it will not be too taboo during the day, but it will be easier to control the parasite at night. But today -" Ruan Zhan looked out the window, the sky was as dark as evening, "this kind of weather gives It's a chance."

"That is to say, after it was captured by you that day, it hid in other houses, and it was very good at hiding it so that you couldn't find it." Wan Li said.

"Isn't it just because some people's RPG levels are not high!" Xiaoxia caught the opportunity to be sarcastic, and of course she would not miss it.

Ruan Zhan glared at Wan Li, blaming him for talking too much. Wan Li pretended not to notice the situation of the two people and continued to ask: "Why did it choose the landlord? I heard that she lives on the first floor, so it can be considered a long journey."

"Because the landlord is familiar with Miss Yue's situation. Since it can't get a ghost easily, of course it will find other ways to kill her."

"What do you mean?" Xiaoxia asked disgustedly, "It won't let me go?"

"Don't you understand?" Wan Li interrupted, "If it doesn't go away, you will be in big trouble. From the beginning when you took over this case, everything has been against you. I don't know why it is against you. Li Jingming takes action, but you are likely to hinder the final result it wants, so it wants you to die from the beginning to the end. It is better to give up this case."

After going round and round, the problem remains this!
