Meng Sheng's peripheral vision reflected Shang Boyu's stopped figure in the distance, and she felt a panic in her heart.
Now that she had all the evidence, it was not the best time to expose him. She had no time to think of a countermeasure. She looked at the man in front of her, grabbed his collar as if by magic, pulled him to the corner against the wall, and put a finger to her lips.
"Hush."
Pei Sui, who was suddenly pressed against the wall by her, was stunned, and the surprise in his eyes lingered for a long time.
Meng Sheng's heart was in his throat and he didn't notice how inappropriate this behavior and action was.
Shang Boyu, who was far away, slowly turned around and looked at the empty and grand corridor where only two guests and a waiter were walking. His expression suddenly relaxed.
"What's wrong?" Ning Weiwei looked at her in confusion.
"fine."
Shang Boyu frowned slightly. He clearly heard someone calling Meng Sheng just now. Was it an illusion?
Meng Sheng quietly poked her head out from the wall, watched them walk into the private room, and slowly stood up. After several seconds, she retracted her gaze and when she looked up, she met a pair of cold and gloomy eyes.
His eye sockets are relatively deep, making his pupils appear deep and sharp, and his eyelids are slightly drooping, giving him a sense of arrogance that looks down on the world.
Meng Sheng pulled his thoughts back and realized how close they were. He even had his hand on his collar.
"Hold, sorry."
A rare trace of panic appeared on Meng Sheng's pretty face. She let go of his hand and quickly took a few steps back. "I'm sorry, Lawyer Pei, there was a reason for what happened just now. I was too anxious, so I..."
Didn't know the right measure.
Pei Sui straightened his collar and suit without changing his expression, his slightly furrowed brows showing his displeasure at the moment.
Meng Sheng had no choice but to apologize sincerely again, "I'm really sorry."
"Tracking?"
Pei Sui didn't intend to dwell on this trivial matter and just asked casually.
His private room was at the end of the corridor. When he walked over, he saw a young couple. He always had a good memory, but the photo that Meng Sheng showed him that day was of the two of them kissing in profile, and it was too blurry.
He only glanced again and could be forgiven for not recognizing it.
Meng Sheng felt a little embarrassed and realized that he was really like a thief who feared the light of day. He hid in the dark corner and silently watched Shang Boyu and Ning Weiwei standing in the bright and dazzling light, being intimate as much as they could.
"That's about right." She turned away in embarrassment and changed the subject, "Is Lawyer Pei eating here?"
"Socializing." Pei Sui replied with a slightly cold tone. He looked up and looked around, then called a passing waiter, "This lady's earring has fallen off. Please help check the surveillance."
Meng Sheng was slightly stunned, and after looking at him, he understood the intention.
"Thank you." She smiled and nodded to the staff, "Thank you for your help."
Seeing that she was wearing branded clothes, the waiter thought that her earrings must be very expensive, so he nodded and said, "Come with me."
Meng Sheng carefully watched the whole process of the two of them going from the first floor to the second floor. In the elevator, there was also the scene where Ning Weiwei couldn't help herself and stood on tiptoe to kiss Shang Boyu on the cheek. Shang Boyu smiled and pinched her nose lovingly, telling her not to be naughty.
She was familiar with Shang Boyu's gentle and doting expression.
At that moment, her lungs felt like the sea was filled with water, and every breath she took was painful.
Her eyes were red, and she licked her lips. Her gentle voice was choked with sobs, "Can I make a copy of this video?"
Seeing this, the female manager was full of confusion. The earrings were just a cover.
She immediately told the staff to copy the video to her mobile phone.
After leaving the monitoring room, the female manager came up and said that the signature dishes she had ordered had all been served. After thinking for a while, she chose a seat by the window on the first floor and sat down.
After taking a few bites, my cell phone suddenly dinged.
It's a text message.
[Danger! Pei Sui can't drink that glass of wine! Jiang Mingchun drugged it and wants to ruin his reputation! ]
Meng Sheng was slightly stunned. He almost didn't hesitate, nor had any doubt. Just when he was about to get up, he suddenly stopped.
She remembered that Shang Boyu and Ning Weiwei's private room was just at the end on the right. If she went up now, she might run into them and it might not be in time to stop them.
The business card Pei Sui had given her suddenly flashed through her mind. She quickly took it out of her bag and dialed the number.
When the phone rang, Jiang Mingchun had just walked over to Pei Sui with a wine jug and poured him some wine. "Before, Pei Luduo and I had a misunderstanding about Yan Li'an's case. I toast you with this glass of wine. I hope Pei Lu will forgive me."
Today's dinner was arranged by a group of first-class lawyers in Beijing, and Pei Sui was dragged here because he couldn't refuse the kindness.
Hearing the ringtone, he said "sorry" to Jiang Mingchun lightly, took out his mobile phone, lowered his eyes to look at the unfamiliar number, ignored Jiang Mingchun's embarrassed expression, turned around and walked to the window to answer the call.
"Hello."
Meng Sheng said bluntly, "I'm Meng Sheng. Didn't you drink the glass of wine that Jiang Mingchun gave you? He put drugs in it. Don't drink it!"
Hearing this soft voice, Pei Sui was stunned for a moment, and some doubts arose in his heart.
How did she know that Jiang Mingchun would toast him and drug him?
The same thing happened with the pen last time. The front desk told him that Meng Sheng had been there that morning, but the pen happened to have been bought at the pawn shop after he had been to the law firm.
This is also what he finds suspicious.
Pei Sui monopolized his thoughts, his brows slightly furrowed. He did not ask, but just said calmly, "Well, I know."
Even if Meng Sheng hadn't called, he hadn't planned to drink Jiang Mingchun's glass of wine.
Jiang Mingchun wants to put him on the fire, but that depends on whether he is willing.
After hanging up the phone and returning to the table, he said calmly, "I'm afraid I can't drink this glass of wine with Jiang Lu. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, he picked up his coat, ignored the looks and requests of others, and left the private room.
His inhumanity, arrogance and arbitrariness have long been known to everyone.
There was no way. As a first-class lawyer with no defeats in Beijing and the second young master of the Pei family, he had the capital to be arrogant.
After finishing the call, Meng Sheng paid the bill and left the restaurant. As soon as she opened the car door, a familiar deep male voice sounded behind her, "Ms. Meng."
Meng Sheng turned around.
The late autumn night was chilly. The man, wearing a black coat, was tall and straight, striding towards her with his head held high.
There was no need to guess, Meng Sheng could guess what Pei Sui wanted to ask when he caught up with him.
But Meng Sheng didn't know what excuse to make to get away with it.
Seeing him approaching, she avoided the main point and said, "Pei Lu, there is no need to thank me. It's a courtesy to return the favor."
He reminded her of the surveillance, and she reminded him not to drink that glass of wine, which was reasonable.
If you don't pursue logic.
Pei Sui could of course see that she didn't want to say it. His eyes were deep, a cold wind blew, and a faint fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose.
It smells like camellia.
She had smelled this smell before when she pulled herself by the collar to hide.
Compared with the pear scent last time, it now has a more sunny and warm taste.
As a lawyer, he has met many different kinds of people, but he just can't see through the woman in front of him.
After thinking for a while, he did not ask any more questions, but said slowly, "The evidence you copied today cannot have any traces of editing in the middle, otherwise, it will be considered perjury by the court."
"Oh, OK." Meng Sheng responded, and then thought of his evidence, "Um, can I trouble Pei Lu for something?"
