Chapter 20 Using Metaphysics to Defend the Bottom Line

Lu Qiu naturally saw it as well. He calmly moved his position and stood between the police and Xia Wange.

Xia Wange quickly stuffed a piece of talisman paper into the pen, signed the words, turned the pen casually, and handed the information and the pen to the female police officer. "The pen is straight and beautiful. No wonder you carry it with you. Maybe this pen can help you get out of danger in the future. I wish you a happy return after all the hardships."

The female police officer put away the pen, smiled, and left without saying anything else.

After they left, Zhang Yue whispered, "Sister Xia, I'm sorry for getting you into trouble."

"This is nothing." Xia Wange naturally crossed his legs in the boss chair, "They are all small matters. I don't have anything to do anyway."

After saying this, Xia Wange had a feeling that something was wrong, so she quickly looked at Lu Qiu and saw that he was staring at her quietly with a pair of dark eyes.

Xia Wange quickly stood up and said with a smile, "Boss, please sit down. I'm going to go out and do some work. I'm really busy."

Zhang Yue ran out first. When Xia Wange was running, Lu Qiu called her and said, "Thank you."

Xia Wange was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that Lu Qiu was thanking her for not exposing the other person's privacy at the beginning. "Why thank me for that? It's my duty. I studied law, and I have a clear understanding of privacy."

"I'm a little curious. Why do you study law?" Lu Qiu explained, "I'm just curious. If you don't want to tell me, you don't have to. I just think that the major you chose is in conflict with your job."

Xia Wange pondered for a while, "When I was a child, I thought everyone had morals. Later, after learning some things, I found that the law is the bottom line of mankind. Later, I found that there are still many things that cannot be protected even by the bottom line. I just want to understand the position of the bottom line. Things above the bottom line should be resolved by law, and things below the bottom line should be resolved by mysterious methods."

Lu Qiu stared at Xia Wange for a long time, and suddenly changed the subject, "Since you think you're fine, come with me to meet a client tomorrow."

Xia Wange felt that Lu Qiu’s real purpose was to say this. Are the black-hearted bosses of capitalism really starting to show their fangs?

"We'll meet during the day or at night?"

"?" Lu Qiu, who had already started sorting out the documents, looked up blankly, "Daytime? Night?"

"Daytime is my working time, and I have to pay extra at night."

Lu Qiu: "...I will bring a male assistant with me for the evening social event, don't worry."

"Are there any social events that require a dancing partner?" Xia Wange suddenly became curious about these things and moved closer.

Lu Qiu looked at Xia Wange helplessly for a long time and sighed, "Is it difficult to judge that I am a disabled person?"

And his dance partner, what can his legs do?

"Come on, you're disabled." Xia Wange said disdainfully, "In my eyes, you're just a normal person who can have special experiences. You're injured at most, but you still want to use your leg to get sympathy in front of me? I'm telling you, if I go out with you at night, I'll pay you overtime. There's no point in playing the emotional card."

After saying that, Xia Wange glared at Lu Qiu with a look as if he was looking at a black-hearted capitalist who was trying to gain sympathy by doing something wrong with his legs and refusing to pay overtime, and then he left.

Lu Qiu stared at the direction where Xia Wange left for a long time, then suddenly laughed. He clenched his fist with one hand and hit his numb knee hard, laughing so hard that he almost cried.

Normal people having special experiences...

Someone who was only temporarily injured.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the spots of cinnabar on the paper on the desk.

He has been proud since he was young, and there is nothing he cannot do. He won numerous awards and prizes when he was in school. In college, he relied on himself to slowly expand the scale of his startup company.

But God played a joke on him and caused his legs to lose sensation for unknown reasons. He consulted doctors from home and abroad and tried all kinds of treatment methods, but all he got was disappointment again and again.

He could accept all these setbacks, but what he could not accept the most was the pitying look in other people's eyes when they looked at him, the kind of look that directly treated him as a member of a disadvantaged group. This was something that he, who had always been proud, could not accept at all.

He could endure a thousand times more pain, but he could not ignore the compassion others felt when they looked at him.

He doesn't need compassion, not even in death.

Everyone knew his taboos and were pretending. He could feel that everyone was trying to treat him like a normal person, but he couldn't hide the look in their eyes.

Only Xia Wan Ge is different.

No matter what the reason was, she looked at him with no pity in her eyes. She not only treated him as a normal person, but also seemed to think he was better than normal people. Whether in her words or actions, she was not as cautious as others towards him. Only she, deep down, treated him as a normal person.

To be honest, no matter whether Xia Wange could cure his leg or not, he was grateful to her.

Be grateful to someone for not discriminating against him, not pitying him, and not looking down on him.

Ever since his leg problem, all Lu Qiu has been asking for is a normal life.

That night, female police officer Liu Mei got off work after working overtime. She felt tired of the family members who had come to cause trouble. Fortunately, the other party was not an iron-willed person and went back after dark.

His son died in the rental house with a lottery ticket in his hand. The forensic results came out and it was sudden death.

But the other party's mother refused to give in and threw a tantrum, saying that her son told her that Zhang Yue found a master who knew magic to kill her son. She forced them to enforce justice and catch the woman who knew magic.

A master of magic?

He is obviously a top student in the law department who understands the law!

If studying law also means learning magic, then he does learn magic.

Liu Mei said goodbye to her colleagues, packed up and went home. On her way home, she passed by a dark alley. At the entrance of the alley, she vaguely heard a man and a woman arguing.

The woman begged, "Dad, can you please stop doing this?"

The man yelled, "What's wrong with me? I just came to find you and take you home. How many years have you not been home? If your uncle hadn't seen you, I wouldn't know where to find you."

Liu Mei's eyes twitched and she instinctively felt something was wrong, so she deliberately slowed down her pace.

The woman choked up and said, "Why did you ask me to go back? It's nothing more than selling money for your brother to get married, right?"

The man said angrily, "Since you know this, then hurry back with me! I have received a gift of 100,000 yuan from them! You have to come back no matter what you say today!"

The two began to pull.

The woman burst into tears, "Dad! Dad! One hundred and fifty thousand, right? Let me go! I'll give you one hundred and fifty thousand! I'll give you one hundred and fifty thousand if you let me go!"

The man was angry, "What are you thinking? The money in your pocket is originally ours! Go back! If you don't go back, I won't let you hang around out there! It's embarrassing! Women should go home and get married and have kids. After having kids, they can go out to work with the permission of their in-laws! Are you going back or not?!"
