[Chapter 75: Sowing Dissension]
Lin Ze's case will go to trial in a week, and there will most likely be no further delay this time.
Although Lin Yin had Huo Jingze as her trump card and had a great chance of winning, she was still worried.
When I have free time, I can't help but let my mind wander, and the chopsticks in my hand stay on the plate for a long time without moving.
Suddenly, a figure appeared on the opposite side.
"Xiaoyin."
A familiar gentle voice.
Lin Yin raised her eyes and met Fu Huaijin's light blue eyes, who was looking at her with a smile.
She came back to her senses, "Doctor Fu."
"You don't mind if I sit here," Fu Huaijin said.
Lin Yin said quickly: "Of course."
Fu Huaijin sat down with his upper body straight and his manners excellent. He blinked his blue eyes, as if he wanted to say something.
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Lin Yin asked in confusion: "Doctor Fu, what's wrong with you? If you have something to say, just say it."
"Xiaoyin, let me show you a photo." Fu Huaijin unlocked the screen, opened the album, and pushed the phone in his hand to the other side.
The background of the photo was in a coffee shop. Two men were sitting face to face. Only the side profile of one of them was photographed. Lin Yin recognized who he was at a glance.
Huo Jingze.
Sitting opposite him was Qian Yaozu.
"Xiaoyin, did Lawyer Huo tell you about his private meeting with Qian Yaozu?" Fu Huaijin observed Lin Yin's expression.
Lin Yin's eyes flickered, "No."
"This...Lawyer Huo was originally Qian Yaozu's lawyer, and later became your defense lawyer. Moreover, they are related by blood, so they should avoid suspicion."
Fu Huaijin frowned, looking a little worried, "Xiaoyin, I think you still need to think carefully about it. I'm afraid that if something unexpected happens during the court session, it might be difficult for your brother to come out."
Lin Yin stared at the photo on the phone screen, and his eyes changed slightly.
Fu Huaijin noticed that her expression had relaxed, and continued, "If you're willing, I can introduce you to a new lawyer, a top-tier lawyer from a well-known law firm. I've already contacted him, and as long as you nod, I can arrange a meeting for you right away."
Lin Yin raised her eyes in surprise, "Doctor Fu, when did you find a lawyer?"
Fu Huaijin smiled and said, "I always feel that Huo Jingze is not very reliable, so I asked a friend to find out. How is it? Do you want to change?"
"I..." Lin Yin bit her lip.
Fu Huaijin thought she was worried about the lawyer's fees, so he said, "Don't worry about the fees. I'll lend it to you. We can sign a loan agreement. The interest and other things will be based on the normal market price. You can pay me back slowly."
This means that only monetary interests are involved and there are no other hidden conditions.
Lin Yin naturally understood the hidden meaning in his words.
But...she didn't think of replacing Huo Jingze.
Although she felt uncomfortable knowing that Huo Jingze met Qian Yaozu in private, maybe it was because of something else. She believed that Huo Jingze would not play tricks on her, and there was no need to play tricks on her.
The bottom line is that whoever is accepted as a lawyer will be owed a huge favor.
In her heart, she was more inclined to owe Huo Jingze. Anyway, things between her and Huo Jingze had already been sorted out, so there was no need to involve Fu Huaijin.
No matter how much she was thinking, Lin Yin didn't show it on her face. She moved her lips and said gratefully, "Dr. Fu, thank you for helping me. I... will think about it carefully."
She couldn't say no even though it was on her lips. After all, Fu Huaijin was really doing this for her own good, and she couldn't be too direct and hurt his good intentions.
She chose to decline.
Fu Huaijin smiled, his eyes still gentle, "Okay, then tell me when you've thought it over."
"Well, thank you, Dr. Fu." A sincere smile appeared in Lin Yin's eyes. "It's my honor to have a friend like you."
When Fu Huaijin heard the word "friend", the light in his eyes dimmed.
Keeping a smile on his face, he said, "I'm glad I can help you."
…
Huo Jingze met Fu Huaijin again at the elevator door.
The elevator was almost turning into a smokeless battlefield between the two men.
Huo Jingze never looked Fu Huaijin in the eye. After entering the elevator, he looked straight ahead, and his handsome face was as cold as usual.
Fu Huaijin stood on the left side of the elevator and spoke first, "Mr. Huo, Lin Yin is just a simple girl who has just entered society. You are going too far."
Huo Jingze understood the sentence even though it had no beginning or end.
It's simply talking about the relationship between him and Lin Yin.
He pulled the corner of his mouth and said in a cold voice, "It's a matter between us, Dr. Fu, an outsider, is meddling too much."
"You know whether she is willing or not." Fu Huaijin's voice was also cold, "I have already found a new lawyer for her, and Xiaoyin is considering replacing you."
Huo Jingze narrowed his dark eyes, "Replace me?"
Fu Huaijin smiled faintly, "After all, you are the plaintiff's relative. There is a layer of blood relationship between us, so Xiaoyin will naturally not completely trust you."
Huo Jingze chuckled, his black eyes becoming darker. "She doesn't believe me, so how could she believe you whom she has only known for a few days? If she believed you, why would you come to me and sow discord between us?"
The cold voice was full of sarcasm.
Fu Huaijin's thoughts were revealed, but he didn't feel embarrassed. At this time, the elevator door opened.
He took a step forward, looked back at Huo Jingze, and smiled slightly:
"Xiaoyin and I have known each other for more than just a few days."
After saying that, he walked out of the elevator.
Huo Jingze frowned slightly. What does that mean?
He walked out of the elevator and happened to meet Lin Yin who opened the door. He walked straight towards her and swaggered into her house.
After Lin Yin threw away the garbage and returned home, she saw Huo Jingze already sitting on the sofa, his long legs crossed, his straight back leaning against the armrest of the sofa, his ink-black eyes looking at her.
His handsome face was cold and expressionless, and he seemed unhappy.
When he did this, Lin Yin felt frightened and couldn't help but start to think about how she had offended him.
It seems not.
Lin Yin walked over, half squatted in front of him, and asked softly, "Lawyer Huo, who offended you? You seem unhappy."
Huo Jingze remained silent, just staring at her with his dark eyes.
Lin Yin felt uneasy, "You are so fierce, what's wrong, did I provoke you?"
"I'm fierce?" Huo Jingze sneered with a smile, "I'm definitely not as gentle and considerate as your Doctor Fu."
Lin Yin: “…”
Why mention Fu Huaijin for no reason?
"What's wrong with you? Can you tell me directly?" Lin Yin was a little helpless. "If you don't tell me, I'll go cook."
She stood up and prepared to turn around, but just as she was about to leave, the man grabbed her wrist. With a little force, she fell into his arms and sat on his lap.
Huo Jingze lowered his head, staring at her with his dark eyes, "Fu Huaijin told me that he found a new lawyer for you, and you want to replace me."
His voice was calm, but you could tell he was unhappy.
Lin Yin didn't expect Fu Huaijin to look for Huo Jingze. She was a little surprised and explained, "I didn't think of replacing you. Don't be angry."
"Really?" Huo Jingze sneered, looking disbelieving.
Lin Yin said in a good-tempered manner: "What do you want me to believe?"
Huo Jingze's eyes turned slightly, and he said, "Call him and tell him not to meddle in other people's business in the future."
“…This is not good.”
Lin Yin frowned slightly.
In any case, Fu Huaijin did that out of concern for her, and she couldn't blame him for meddling in her affairs.
Seeing her unwillingness, Huo Jingze's handsome face immediately darkened, and he poked his cheek with the tip of his tongue, obviously angry, "You don't want to reject him directly, so you want to give him a chance, right? Don't tell me you don't know what Fu Huaijin feels for you!"
Lin Yin blinked, very surprised, "What are you talking about?"
