[Chapter 30 Blacklist]
Huo Jingze is only a few years older than Qian Yaozu, but he is too capable and has a brilliant career. In addition, he has such a status that his peers are all inferior to him and most of them are afraid of him.
Qian Yaozu was no exception. After sitting down, he kept his head down and did not dare to look Huo Jingze in the eye.
Huo Jingze's thin lips moved, and his voice was extremely cold and questioning, "I asked you to withdraw the lawsuit, but you played tricks on me behind my back?"
As soon as he flew to the imperial capital, Lin Ze confessed his guilt. He could easily figure out the key.
Qian Yaozu lowered his head even more. He couldn't deny it. He originally thought that Huo Jingze would not be back for a few days, so he wanted to take the opportunity to close the case, so that even if Huo Jingze came back, the matter would be settled.
He didn't expect Huo Jingze to come back suddenly, he miscalculated in the end.
"Speak." Huo Jingze said in a cold tone.
Qian Yaozu said stubbornly, "Cousin, it's just Lin Ze. Why would you go against me for an outsider? We are brothers. Don't try to be mean. Could it be that you really have a crush on that woman Lin Yin?"
Huo Jingze's face darkened a little, and he didn't have the patience to listen to Qian Yaozu's further talk. "Withdraw the lawsuit immediately. Don't make me say it for the third time."
His cold gaze fell on Qian Yaozu, his attitude was very strong and he would not tolerate any questioning.
Qian Yaozu felt like he had a thorn in his back and was a little frightened.
But he cannot withdraw the lawsuit, absolutely not. Lin Ze must stay in jail well before he can feel at ease.
"Cousin, Lin Ze has offended me, I will not withdraw the lawsuit, and I have deleted the evidence, so you'd better stop interfering."
Qian Yaozu stood up and turned on tiptoe towards the door after he finished speaking.
"Evidence, do you think I won't back it up?" Huo Jingze said coldly.
Qian Yaozu paused and looked back, not panicking. "Cousin, Lin Ze has already confessed his guilt. The content in the video is just his special fetish. I just cooperated with him. Even if it gets out, it won't matter."
Huo Jingze smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes, "You have grown wings now, and you dare to fool even me?"
"Cousin, we are a family, please don't try to be mean to us." Qian Yaozu looked helpless and a little unhappy.
What kind of magic potion did that vixen Lin Yin feed Huo Jingze? He even ignored the relationship between brothers.
He wanted to say something else when he heard Huo Jingze's clear and firm voice: "I will personally intervene in this case until Lin Ze is acquitted."
Huo Jingze's expression was indifferent, but his words were like thunder out of the blue.
Qian Yaozu was shocked and blurted out, "Do you still want to be Lin Ze's defense lawyer?"
In response, Huo Jingze remained silent.
The bedroom door was not closed tightly. Lin Yin squatted behind the door and observed the movements in the living room through the gap.
She heard their conversation, her mouth opened slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes.
While she was surprised, her mind also became active. If Huo Jingze could be her brother's defense lawyer...
In the living room, Huo Jingze's silence was seen as consent by Qian Yaozu. His face couldn't be any darker, but he had no right to control Huo Jingze's decision.
"Cousin, I think you are really crazy!"
He was so angry that he ran out of the door.
The living room became quiet. Lin Yin opened the bedroom door, looked around, and came out only after making sure that no one was there.
She ran to Huo Jingze and said anxiously, "Lawyer Huo, the court will start tomorrow. What should we do?"
Huo Jingze sat on the sofa, leaning back slightly, and said in a light tone: "I will arrange it, don't worry."
The unexpected events in the case were more or less caused by him, so he naturally wouldn't sit idly by.
After getting Huo Jingze's promise, Lin Yin finally let go of her worries and breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, she couldn't help but say, "It would be better if we handed the evidence to the police earlier."
Was she secretly blaming him?
Huo Jingze pursed his lips and said nothing.
He does have a responsibility, there is no denying that.
Lin Yin observed the man's expression and detected a hint of guilt.
She struck while the iron was hot and said, "Lawyer Huo, you know that no one in the entire Lan City dares to be my brother's defense lawyer. If you can..."
"impossible."
She was interrupted before she could finish her words.
Huo Jingze raised his eyes, his calm gaze fell on her little face, his big watery eyes full of pleading.
But he ignored it.
Because intervening in a case by mistake is one thing, but being directly involved is another.
The Huo and Qian families have a close relationship, so it is impossible for him to directly stand against Qian Yaozu. Besides, if he did so, it would only make Lin Ze's case more complicated.
Lin Yin naturally thought of the blood relationship between Huo Jingze and Qian Yaozu, and knew very well that the other party would not help the right instead of the relative.
But she can't give up, she has to fight for it no matter how difficult it is.
She tried to force out a flattering smile, "Lawyer Huo, you are the most powerful lawyer in Lancheng. Everyone knows that you are upright, can distinguish right from wrong, and always help the weak. Lawyers like you will never sit idly by when you encounter injustice, right?"
This set of words directly elevated Huo Jingze to the highest moral level.
To put it bluntly, it is moral kidnapping.
Huo Jingze didn't buy it. He curled his lips and snorted coldly, "An upright lawyer? Someone once accused me of aiding and abetting evil, and called me a black-hearted old fox."
“…”
Lin Yin coughed dryly, feeling awkward.
She lowered her eyes, her eyeballs rolled around, and her mind raced.
Huo Jingze is not an ordinary person. Those powerful people who want to hire him to sue have to line up. She can't be too impatient and has to take it slow.
First, let’s release the blacklist.
Lin Yin forced a smile and changed the subject, "Lawyer Huo, have you eaten yet? Do you want me to make you a bowl of noodles?"
Huo Jingze shook a cigarette out of the cigarette box and bit it between his lips, his black eyes looking at the woman with a flattering smile.
If someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.
Even so, he still hummed and nodded reservedly.
Lin Yin immediately got to work. Ten minutes later, she brought out a bowl of clear soup noodles with a fried egg and some chopped green onions sprinkled on top. It smelled very fragrant.
"Lawyer Huo, the noodles are ready, please eat."
Lin Yin put the noodles down, and Huo Jingze picked up the chopsticks and started eating slowly.
She stood aside and watched him eat, her eyes involuntarily sweeping across his deep eyebrows, then his tall nose, his thin lips, and finally stopping at his Adam's apple that rolled when he swallowed...
Lin Yin couldn't help but think of the time when they were intimate, when the man tilted his head back and panted slightly, and his Adam's apple moved in the same way, which was extremely sexy.
As I thought about it, my cheeks started to feel hot.
She was still in the living room, her thoughts so far away that she didn't hear anyone calling her.
"I'm done."
Huo Jingze glanced at her and repeated it with a stronger tone.
Lin Yin came back to her senses and quickly responded, "Oh oh oh, I'll clean up the dishes."
"Why is your face so red?" Huo Jingze asked unintentionally.
Lin Yin touched his face, his eyes dodging, and said unnaturally: "Maybe it's a little hot in the room."
She quickly ran to the kitchen with the dishes and chopsticks, fearing that someone would find out what she was doing, which would be too embarrassing.
After she came out after cleaning up, she saw Huo Jingze had already finished his shower and was wearing a white bathrobe, lazily leaning on the sofa to rest.
Lin Yin walked over, squatted in front of him, and said softly: "Lawyer Huo, are you asleep? I have something to tell you."
Huo Jingze raised his eyes and motioned for her to speak.
"Can you...can you pull me off the blacklist?"
