Chapter 99: People Are Like Rainbows
The man didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled and waved his hand, as if to say, "It's okay."
Chi Jinjin was a little surprised. The person in front of her didn't seem to be friendly, but he was not angry at all when she misunderstood him. Instead, he greeted her with a smile.
This made Chi Jinjin feel a little ashamed.
At this moment, she suddenly heard his stomach growling.
When I recall meeting him, I never saw him eat anything.
"Are you hungry?" Chi Jinjin asked, "Let me treat you to a meal. Thank you for helping me find the card pack."
The man waved his hand.
Chi Jinjin insisted, "Let's go. My card wallet is very important to me. Thanks to you for bringing it back to me. I must thank you very much."
Chi Jinjin invited him warmly, and the man finally nodded in agreement.
Chi Jinjin took him to the hotel.
The man stood at the door of the restaurant, stunned.
"Please." Chi Jinjin said when she saw that he was unmoved.
The man seemed to be hesitating about something, then he took off his shoes and walked in.
"Hello sir, we don't allow people who are not properly dressed to enter here. Please put on your shoes." Seeing this, the waiter stepped forward to stop him.
The man pointed at the soles of his shoes with a look of disgust.
The waiter said, "I'm sorry, we don't have any new shoes for you."
The man shook his head and continued pointing at the sole of his shoe.
"This is a restaurant, we can't buy shoes for you," said the waiter.
The man still shook his head.
Chi Jinjin looked at him for a long time and suddenly understood what he meant. He didn't want shoes, but wanted to say that his shoes were dirty and he was afraid of dirtying their floor.
Chi Jinjin talked to the staff, and the staff understood and brought him a pair of disposable slippers.
Chi Jinjin finally understood why he had stopped at the door and hesitated.
Before eating, the other person wiped his hands again and again.
He also put a piece of paper on the seat, as if he was afraid that his dirty clothes would dirty their chairs.
While eating, he didn't take the initiative to pick up food for him, but Chi Jinjin kept picking it up for him.
As he was eating, he actually started to cry.
"You, what's wrong with you?" Seeing this, Chi Jinjin hurriedly took out a tissue and handed it to him.
He touched his face with his sleeve and smiled at her.
He made a gesture to tell her that he was fine and thanked her for her concern.
After finishing their meal, the two left the restaurant.
When Chi Jinjin returned to the station, he followed her.
Just as he reached the door of the law firm, a little girl suddenly appeared out of nowhere. She hugged the man and cried, "Dad, you big liar, didn't you say you would come to pick me up? Why haven't you come yet?"
The man squatted down and gestured to her.
The little girl understood what he meant at a glance and said, "I'm not disobedient, I just miss you. I've been waiting for you to take me home."
The man gestured again.
The little girl shed tears and said, "I don't want it. I want to be with you."
"Dad." The little girl hugged the man's neck and said, "Please take me home. I want to go back to Huaishu Village."
At this time, a car drove over and a group of people got out of the car.
Chi Jinjin recognized one of them at a glance, that was the movie star Du Rumeng.
"An An!" Du Rumeng pulled the little girl away from the man and said to her, "How could you run out alone? It's so dangerous outside. Come on, go home with Daddy."
"I don't want to go home, I don't want to go home." The little girl was very reluctant and pulled the corner of the man's sleeve.
Du Rumeng's agent stepped forward and said, "Come, An An, let Auntie take you home to eat something delicious."
As she said this, she tried to take the child away by force, but the child was unwilling to let go and held on to her tightly.
He also held on to the child tightly.
The two pulled each other.
Chi Jinjin was worried that this would hurt the child, and just as she was about to say something, the man let go.
"No, I want my daddy, I want my daddy!" the little girl cried, stretching her hands forward to grab him.
Seeing this, the man became anxious again and couldn't help but take a step forward.
Du Rumeng stood in front of him.
"Are you satisfied now?" Du Rumeng said to the man angrily, "It's all because of you that our family has become like this."
Du Rumeng pointed at the man and threatened, "I will never let this matter go. Just wait, on the day of the trial, I will make you pay the price and put you in jail for the rest of your life!"
"Dad! Dad!" The child leaned against the window and called out to the man.
The man watched, his feet unable to move.
Finally, the car drove away and the man could only lower his head.
At night, Chi Jinjin had difficulty falling asleep. Thinking about what happened during the day, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Looking at the empty seat next to her, Chi Jinjin reached out and touched Nan Xuqiu's pillow.
On the other side, Nan Xuqiu had just finished a day's work.
A blonde policewoman came over and said, "Officer Nan, there is a bachelor party tonight. Are you coming?"
"Thank you. I won't go." Nan Xuqiu replied.
The policewoman didn't understand and asked, "Why? Everyone wants you to participate."
Nan Xuqiu raised his hand and showed the wedding ring on his right finger.
"My God! You're married?" the policewoman asked in surprise.
Nan Xuqiu nodded, smiled, and said, "Yes, I am already married."
"Well, that's a pity." The policewoman sighed and asked curiously, "Is your wife Chinese, too?"
"Yes, my wife is also a Chinese." Nan Xuqiu replied.
"What does your wife do? Is she also a police officer?" the policewoman asked.
Nan Xuqiu shook his head and said, "No, my wife is a lawyer."
The policewoman exclaimed, "Wow, lawyer is a cool profession."
"I really want to see your wife." the policewoman said with interest.
Nan Xuqiu smiled, opened his phone, pointed at the screensaver, and said, "This is my wife."
"Your wife doesn't look like a lawyer at all. I mean... She is very gentle. The lawyers I see have sharp eyes, but your wife's eyes make people feel very warm." The policewoman said while looking at Chi Jinjin's photo.
Nan Xuqiu smiled and said, "Thank you. She is really a warm person."
"You look very loving," said the policewoman.
Nan Xuqiu looked at the screen saver and smiled, "I love my wife very much. My wife is like my rainbow. I don't know until I meet her."
"OK, then I won't bother you. Goodbye." The policewoman spread her hands and said helplessly.
Nan Xuqiu nodded and said, "Goodbye and have a good time."
Nan Xuqiu lowered his head and continued to look at the screensaver, a smile that could not be dispelled on his face.
A few days later, Chi Jinjin happened to meet the man again in a park.
It turned out that the man had been sleeping on the park bench every day these days, and sleeping in the pavilion when it rained.
At this moment, a child playing on a skateboard suddenly fell to the ground.
There was a big skin breakout on my knee.
The child sat on the ground and cried.
The man hurried over, squatted down and gestured something to the child.
The child probably understood what he meant and nodded.
The man picked up the child from the ground.
Chi Jinjin followed and saw the man send the child back home.
Later, Chi Jinjin learned from others that the man's name was Zhang Akang, and everyone in the village called him Akang. He had been unable to speak since childhood and was a mute. His family was a five-guarantee household and was very poor.
Chi Jinjin was puzzled. Since the family conditions were so poor, why didn't he sell the child after kidnapping him, but instead raised the child himself?
Isn’t the purpose of kidnapping children for money?
However, some human traffickers will keep their children to provide for themselves in their future, but if they keep a child, it will probably be a boy.
As far as Chi Jinjin knew, Du Rumeng's child Du Anan was weak and suffered from congenital heart disease. He should have known about this sick child after raising him for so many years.
The more Chi Jinjin looked at this man, the weirder he seemed to her.
Zhang Akang waited outside the office for almost half a month, and finally a lawyer reluctantly took over his case due to a workload.
On the first day of the trial, Chi Jinjin went to listen specially and met the legend of the legal profession, Fang Zhengwen.
As soon as the plaintiff's lawyer Fang Zhengwen came out, he already had a strong aura.
Before the trial officially began, Chi Jinjin felt that the plaintiff had already won half the battle.
Sure enough, whenever Fang Zhengwen spoke, his entire logical thinking was extremely precise, making it impossible to find any flaws in it.
The first session ended in less than half an hour.
Zhang Akang's lawyer suggested not to appeal, but Zhang Akang strongly requested to appeal.
The presiding judge agreed to Zhang Akang's lawsuit.
When Chi Jinjin came out of the courtroom, she saw Zhang Akang's lawyer and angrily said to Zhang Akang, "I told you, you can't win this case. Sentencing you to fifteen years is already the best outcome. Can you please stop while you're ahead?"
Zhang Akang shook his head with a firm attitude.
"Okay, in that case, you can find someone else. I can't do it." The lawyer turned around and left with a dark face.
Zhang Akang lowered his head and sighed deeply.
Chi Jinjin was thoughtful. The next day she went to Huaishu Village where Zhang Akang lived.
Led by the villagers, we arrived at Zhang Akang's home.
His home is a bright two-room wooden house that looks like it has been there for many years. The roof has been blackened by smoke and the kitchen is built with plastic next to it.
The door of his house was locked and Chi Jinjin couldn't get in, but the window was open.
Chi Jinjin looked into his room through the window.
After returning to the city, Chi Jinjin came to the park where Zhang Akang often went, and sure enough, she saw him under the pavilion.
He was chewing a steamed bun when a skinny dog ran to his feet and begged for food.
He looked at the steamed bun in his hand, hesitated for a moment, then cut the bun into two halves and threw half to the dog.
Chi Jinjin walked up and asked, "Your name is Zhang Akang, right?"
He nodded, looking at her in confusion.
"Do you still need a lawyer to represent you in the lawsuit?" Chi Jinjin asked.
Zhang Akang nodded eagerly.
"How about I fight for you?" Chi Jinjin said.
Zhang Akang was stunned, then excitedly gestured to Chi Jinjin.
Chi Jinjin didn't understand, but she felt that he was probably thanking her.
"Are you living here alone? Do you have any relatives or friends who can stay with you?" Chi Jinjin asked.
Zhang Akang shook his head.
Chi Jinjin couldn't bear it, so she booked a room for Zhang Akang nearby.
"From now on, you can live here temporarily." Chi Jinjin gave him the room card.
Later, he bought some clean clothes for Zhang Akang.
It was only when the work began that Chi Jinjin discovered that this lawsuit was far more difficult than she had known. Not to mention the plaintiff's lawyer, even communicating with him was extremely difficult.
She hired a sign language teacher, but the teacher couldn't understand some of his expressions.
When her colleagues found out that she was actually going to help Zhang Akang with the lawsuit, they all started to scold her for being stupid and told her to give up immediately.
But Chi Jinjin didn't want to. Since she had agreed, she would not give up easily. She also had her reasons for not giving up.
