Chapter 487 I'm Really Dumped This Time
When Lu Ning heard him say he disagreed, she gripped the steering wheel tightly.
Her heart moved slightly, and bitterness swept through her heart.
She had used up all her courage to say what she had just said. The wall that seemed to be resolute was actually very fragile.
She lowered her head, not knowing what to do.
Ji Chiqian just looked at her, but he couldn't say the next words.
I still can't bear to see her in trouble.
Ji Chiqian endured it and finally got off the car.
If he didn't get out of the car, and used force like last time, he would probably get punched again.
As soon as he got out of the car, Lu Ning drove away without stopping at all.
Ji Chiqian sighed. Why would she abandon him halfway in the past?
He took out his cell phone and called Gu Zifeng: "I won't be going over."
"Where have you been? Everyone's waiting."
"She went to talk to Lawyer Su about the case."
I just heard Lawyer Su mentioned, and I guessed who she would meet next.
Ji Chiqian stood on the side of the road and subconsciously took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket and lit it. In fact, he seldom smoked unless he encountered something he couldn't solve himself.
The first half of his life went smoothly, but he stumbled because of her.
Ji Chiqian was in a bad mood now and could only smoke to distract himself. Lu Ning's words of breaking up kept coming to his mind.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and the red sparks from his cigarette were particularly obvious in the night.
Gu Zifeng paused: "So how did you talk with her in the car?"
After hearing this, Ji Chiqian took another puff of his cigarette and said, "Not very good."
Dumped.
Although it was expected, he still held on to hope.
Gu Zifeng knew the outcome when he heard the tone. He comforted Ji Chiqian and said, "Don't give up so early. Life is still long. Just work harder next time, even though it's definitely not as easy as the first time."
Ji Chiqian didn't say anything, his mouth was full of bitterness.
"Think about it, wasn't it Little Lemon who pursued you before? Now it's your turn to pursue her."
Ji Chiqian put out his cigarette directly: "That's the reason."
In short, he won't give up easily.
The luxury car stopped by the roadside. Ji Chiqian turned around and bent down to get in the car. At this moment, the decadent expressions on his face disappeared, and he turned into the aloof and cold prince of the Ji family again.
——
Lu Ning drove to the agreed place.
When she walked into the box, she saw Su Jingbai sitting at his seat with a menu in his hand, looking very elegant.
This man actually has a bit of a similar temperament to Ji Chiqian.
After Lu Ning sat down, the man handed her a menu and asked, "Take a look at what you like to eat."
Lu Ning took a look at what he ordered and said, "These will do."
"Is Miss Lu so casual about food?"
Lu Ning understood what he meant, and she looked over: "Something's on your mind, so you're not paying attention to the food."
Su Jingbai nodded: "That's understandable."
Lu Ning looked at him: "Is there anything you want to say?"
"Let's eat first. I love delicious food, so I always have to eat before we talk about things. Anyway, the sky won't fall."
Lu Ning was actually a little anxious, but the other party was a big lawyer and she had to rely on him for this case.
So she didn't say anything else and could only wait until after dinner.
But while eating, Lu Ning found that the food here tasted very good.
Su Jingbai asked: "How is it?"
Lu Ning smiled and nodded: "It's delicious."
"Compared to Liyuan, which one tastes better?"
Lu Ning paused with her chopsticks: "Each has a different taste."
"Tsk, Liyuan is a place for rich people, they value face, appearances, and privacy. But this place focuses on the food itself."
Lu Ning looked at the man opposite her: "Do you own this shop?"
"No, the owner of this store was on the verge of bankruptcy due to poor management. I helped him win the lawsuit and saved this old store."
Lu Ning nodded: "As long as the store is kept, the food tastes great. It would be a shame if it closed down."
"Miss Lu, do you have a bad relationship with your family?"
Lu Ning nodded: "Yes. Did they contact you?"
The man opposite nodded.
Lu Ning frowned: "I will take charge of the case. Don't believe what they say."
She had no intention of hiding the fact that Su Jingbai became her attorney, but she didn't expect that someone from the Lu family would actually go to find Su Jingbai.
Su Jingbai smiled and said, "They have always believed in that adopted girl and have always been partial to and abused you. There is really no need to recognize such blind family members."
Lu Ning had heard these words too many times, so she asked him, "Don't you think I'm being too heartless?"
"What's the big deal? I've been a lawyer for so many years and have seen so many monsters and demons. It's better for people to be selfish. Why bother with so many things?"
Lu Ning smiled and said, "That makes sense, but now that we're done with the meal, isn't it time to get down to business?"
Su Jingbai put down his chopsticks, and his eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses suddenly became sharp.
He said, "The driver hasn't handed over the evidence he's hiding yet. This is the key evidence that will determine whether the Mo family can be punished."
Lu Ning pursed her lips and said, "I know. He has hidden the evidence and is waiting to make conditions."
"What kind of demands could a guy like him make? Money? I heard he used to be a gambler."
Lu Ning smiled and said, "It's not about money. They want us to guarantee Qin Xiang's life. It's ridiculous, isn't it? They abandoned Qin Xiang in the first place, but now they pretend to be very kind to their daughter."
"Do you believe it?"
"I don't believe it, but I have to pretend to believe it. Otherwise, how can I know what he's up to?"
The biggest question now is when will Qin Xiang’s father produce the evidence?
Su Jingbai said, "Why didn't the other party let you send him away after getting such important evidence? Why did he ask you to send him to the police station instead?"
Lu Ning was stunned. "I've thought about this, but he has nowhere to escape now. I won't let him go. So, in the end, I made another choice to protect the safety of my only daughter?"
"This inference makes sense. Does my master think so too?"
Lu Ning looked over and said, "Lawyer Feng does think so, but I'm still skeptical about this. We'll know for sure only when the evidence is presented."
"Then you're wrong. The cases I've handled over the years have all been related to these cases, and I understand how these people think. What they fear most is getting caught and going to jail."
Lu Ning found it very strange: "If he's afraid of going to jail, then why did he insist on asking us to send him to surrender?"
"Unless he is caught by you, he will encounter something even more dangerous, such as death."
Lu Ning's expression changed. "Are you saying the Mo family will try to silence us? But we've been keeping a close eye on them. No one from the Mo family has taken action. They've been busy with their own affairs lately."
Su Jingbai sighed, "If Ji Chiqian doesn't have this ability, he's lived in vain."
Lu Ning could see that this person did have a grudge against Ji Chiqian.
Su Jingbai continued, "Because of this, he didn't even think about running away. He just wanted to stay in prison. After all, according to him, he was just bribed, and if the car accident murder was also ordered by someone, he wouldn't be sentenced to death. He'll be out in a few decades."
Lu Ning looked at the man opposite her: "If your speculation is true, then who is Qin Xiang's father afraid of?"
I would rather hide in prison than stay outside.
