Chapter 248: Expulsion Order

The smell of alcohol that hit Shen Jingbai when Shi Wang was speaking made him frown uncomfortably.

Today, Chen Jingbai was still wearing an expensive haute couture suit, his hair combed back neatly, and his aura was intimidating without even being angry.

At the same time, he saw Shi Wang's expression, which was clearly still drunk. He glanced back and saw piles of empty bottles. He raised his eyebrows in surprise, "So much alcohol?"

"Time Law."

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you, how did you get yourself into this state?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked past Shi Wang and entered the latter's apartment without saying anything.

It would have been fine if he hadn't seen it, but the even more disastrous scene inside the house shocked him even more. "So, you haven't been replying to WeChat or answering calls lately, just killing yourself at home like this?"

"Shi Lu, this is not like your usual style."

After all, when the two had met before, Shi Wang gave people the impression of being a cold and icy industry elite, which made people subconsciously think that the other person's private life must be so orderly as well.

But the obviously messy and disorganized scene in the room clearly broke Chen Jingbai's preconceived subjective impression of Shi Wang.

On the other side, Shi Wang naturally did not expect that after being depressed at home for so many days, the first person to come to his door would be Chen Jingbai.

At best, this person can only be considered a partner with him.

Just at this moment, Shi Wang felt a surge of pain in his stomach.

He was forced to lean against the door frame, lowering his eyes for a long time before suppressing his emotions. Without showing any abnormal indifference on his face, he said, "Get out."

"I don't think Mr. Shen and I are close enough to visit each other."

Cold sweat slid down his forehead again. His face was now so pale that it was almost bloodless, and the scene of the strong wind blowing behind him gave off a kind of trance-like, broken and enchanting beauty.

But what he said was so inhumane.

This also made Shen Jingbai, who originally felt a little "sympathetic" to his appearance, couldn't help but click his tongue twice.

Thinking about how many people he had offended by just talking like that, Shen Jingbai pursed his lips and spoke again.

"Of course, Shi Lu, since I found you, I must have something serious to tell you."

“…”

His response was still a noncommittal attitude of chasing him away.

Chen Jingbai endured it.

Forget it, he won't bother with a drunkard.

Seeing that Shi Wang refused to yield to his soft words, Chen Jingbai remained silent for a while before stating his purpose directly: "If I remember correctly, Shi Lu, you promised me last time that you would continue to investigate the matter concerning my uncle, but there is still no result."

"Shi Lu, are you planning to give up halfway? If this gets out, it will ruin the reputation you've worked so hard to build up over the years..."

Chen Jingbai patiently persuaded Shi Wang and was ready to use his job and reputation to inspire him to cheer up again.

However, he didn't expect that before he could finish his words, Shi Wang on the other side interrupted him first.

"I quit."

"You..." As if he couldn't believe what he heard, a hint of surprise appeared between Chen Jingbai's eyebrows again.

Of course this time he really couldn't believe it: "What did you say?"

Although Chen Jingbai and Shi Wang did not have much contact, the fact that Shi Wang was a workaholic was a well-known fact among everyone in their industry.

Regardless of his attitude towards love, if we just look at his work, his seriousness, responsibility and perseverance are all very pertinent and appreciative evaluations of him by people in the legal profession.

But at the moment, to hear such a workaholic say that he was ready to "quit", it was simply a fantasy for Chen Jingbai.

The probability of this happening is probably much smaller than "he was walking on the road and was accidentally hit by a child riding a bicycle and broke his bone."

But right now, it is actually happening.

It happened so suddenly, so unexpectedly, that it caught people off guard...

"That new law firm..."

But obviously, Chen Jingbai still wanted to save the situation.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to mention again the "remuneration" agreed upon when he communicated with Shi Wang.

However, he didn't expect that before he could finish his words, Shi Wang took the initiative to refuse him again.

“I’m not going to open it either.”

"If you need to pay a penalty, just send me a bill via WeChat later."

Coincidentally, at this moment, the beer that Shi Wang had just ordered was being delivered by the delivery guy.

With a "ding" sound, the elevator door opposite the two of them opened.

The young man in bright yellow clothes was also frightened by the obvious tense atmosphere between the two men and did not dare to act rashly for a while.

He looked around, handed the ordered beer to Shi Wang immediately, and then left in a hurry.

This was the third time today that Shi Wang ordered Shen Jingbai to leave.

"Besides this, we have nothing else to talk about."

"So Mr. Shen, please go back."

Chen Jingbai stared at Shi Wang's pale face, emotions flickering in his eyes. He was really surprised at what the latter had experienced in less than half a month.

But it is obvious that Shi Wang does not have the habit of telling others about his love experiences.

Just at this moment, the pain in his stomach just subsided.

After Shi Wang said this, he took the pile of beer that had been delivered and walked past Chen Jingbai to go back into the house.

"etc."

But he didn't expect that at this moment, Chen Jingbai called him from behind again.

"Shi Lu, if I'm not mistaken, the situation you're in today is probably related to Jiang Wanning, right?"

Seeing Shi Wang's originally calm back, he froze for a moment because of these three words. At this moment, a dangerous look appeared in Chen Jingbai's eyes.

"Then you don't want to know about the other person who has harmed your lovers to this point..."

"Is that Xu Moli's current whereabouts?"

Shi Wanggang had just put down a pitcher of beer on the coffee table in the living room. He was about to take one of the bottles, open it, and pour it into his mouth, but he suddenly stopped after hearing what Chen Jingbai said.

His cloudy and unconscious eyes raised up again at this moment, staring at Shen Jingbai, and his coldness returned again. At the same time, his tone also carried some subtle danger: "Do you know where she is?"

"Of course." Chen Jingbai shrugged. "Did Shi Lu forget what our family does?"

With high-frequency satellite positioning, it is easy to find someone.

Of course, after several attempts, he finally got what he wanted and rekindled Shi Wang's interest. At this moment, an ambiguous smile appeared on his lips.

"So, what should I say? Shi Lu, can our cooperation continue now?"
