Chapter 386 I am his lover
The lawyer's surname is Tian, and she is a very kind middle-aged woman.
After hearing Zhang Shuai say that he came with Tian Xin on behalf of Zhou Ruilian, he took him into the office without saying a word.
As soon as the four of them sat down, the situation changed immediately.
Tian Xin took the initiative and stated her position to the lawyer.
"I agree with Aunt Zhou: a life for a life. If the prosecution gives a light sentence or the other party's family is willing to bail Liang Xiao out, we are willing to pay any price and reserve the right to prosecute. Even if the death penalty cannot be imposed, a heavy sentence must be imposed."
When Lawyer Tian heard this, he understood and did not refute it. He just gave his own suggestions.
"To convict her, the final result depends on the extent of Lin Zhou's injuries, the cause and course of the incident, the other party's confession attitude, etc. These are all used as a reference for sentencing.
The police have now closed the case, and the entire process was transparent. Now that it's been transferred to the court, all that's left is the legal process. Regarding civil compensation..."
"Aunt Zhou doesn't want civil mediation. We don't want compensation, and we won't issue a letter of apology. We just want a heavy sentence. Not only Liang Xiao, but her parents are also to blame, and this joint liability must be investigated."
As soon as these words came out, before the lawyer could say anything, Lin Zhenhua's face changed.
He glared at Tian Xin and questioned her in a very unfriendly tone: "Did Ruilian tell you that in person?"
Tian Xin was stunned: "Yes!"
"That won't do." He waved his hand and concluded.
The three people present were stunned. What was going on? Was he disagreeing with the heavy sentence imposed on his son's murderer?
"What... did you say? What's wrong?"
Tian Xin wasn't sure if this was what he meant, so she pressed the issue, "Are you refusing to accept her heavy sentence or the compensation?"
"The murderer is the murderer, and of course he should be sentenced severely. That's understandable. But involving her parents is a bit far-fetched."
Lin Zhenhua sighed, lowered his head, frowned, and tried to find his words: "What I mean is that civil mediation is acceptable. Regarding her parents' poor guardianship, compensation is acceptable. It has already happened..."
…………
Tian Xin's mind exploded, she couldn't believe her ears, and she didn't hear a word of what was said afterwards.
What did he say?
Accept compensation and we can mediate without involving her parents.
Is this what a biological father would say?
She immediately stood up and rejected the proposal: "I don't agree."
Zhang Shuai also stood up and wanted to speak, but Lin Zhenhua glared at Tian Xin and sneered, "You don't agree? What qualifications do you have to disagree? This is our family matter. What right do you, an outsider, have to dictate?"
Then, without waiting for Tian Xin to object, he pointed at the door and ordered her: "Get out."
Tian Xin was so angry that she wanted to seek justice for Lin Zhou. But the one who refuted her was Lin Zhou's biological father.
She immediately understood what Zhou Ruilian meant by the question she asked her.
Yes, for Lin Zhenhua, this is not just a murder case.
But...what interest could be more important than the life of my own son?
She didn't understand, but Zhang Shuai did.
He stood up when Lin Zhenhua asked Tian Xin to leave and sneered at him.
"I thought Lin Zhou's father was that capable. It seems he's just that good. What's so great about being rich? His son is dying, and he can't do anything about it. Isn't that right, uncle?"
The last word "uncle" hit Lin Zhenhua's heart.
Zhang Shuai's words and deeds were accusing him of being a cold-blooded and cruel father who loved money so much that he would even trade his son's life.
But is this really the case?
Lin Zhenhua was obviously rarely humiliated in public like this, let alone by a junior whom he had only met a few times. He immediately became embarrassed and yelled at Zhang Shuai and Tian Xin to get out together.
Zhang Shuai is not afraid of him.
Compared to his rogue father, Lin Zhou's father is not much better.
Out of sympathy and mutual admiration for his buddy, he immediately did something particularly "manly".
He pulled up the corner of his mouth to reveal a sly smile, pointed at the door and said to Lin Zhenhua, "Today, we are the two of us who are here to see Lawyer Tian on behalf of Aunt Zhou, so you should be the one to leave."
After saying that, in front of Lin Zhenhua's shocked eyes, he bent down and made a gesture of invitation: "Please come in, take care." He seemed to regard himself as the owner of this place.
Only he could do such a thing. Anyone else would never be so confident.
But Tian Xin can't do that.
Lin Zhenhua was furious and pointed at him and cursed: "Who do you think you are? Where did you come from? Do you know who I am? How dare you tell me to get out? Who gave you the courage?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that your son is dying, and you're still arguing over trivial matters with a junior. It's really not like a big boss. If you had that much time, the case would have been closed long ago."
He still looks like a ruffian.
Lawyer Tian couldn't stand it any longer and quickly tried to smooth things over: "You two, please don't argue about this for now. Everyone here is a guest. We all have the same goal for Xiao Zhou's case, so please don't damage the relationship."
Lin Zhenhua snorted coldly, stood up and left.
Before leaving, he said to Lawyer Okita, "Rui Lian's opinion only represents her personal opinion. If the lawsuit goes to court, I will find another lawyer to take over with you. Don't be too subjective."
These words were equivalent to blocking Tian Xin's last hope - she still fantasized about trying to persuade Lin Zhenhua.
It seems there is no hope!
But she really didn't understand why Lin Zhenhua would do something that would "make his loved ones sad and his enemies happy" at this time?
Is it because Liang Xiao's family and his family are old friends?
What family relationship can be more important than my son’s life?
Wouldn't you like to keep their faces for the New Year without tearing them apart and scratching them?
She didn't understand, but Lawyer Tian did.
She has seen all kinds of "weirdos" while handling various cases, and Lin Zhenhua is really not one of them.
"Go back and tell Ms. Zhou that I've taken Xiao Zhou's case. No matter who the other party is, I will definitely find a way to help her achieve her demands. Also..."
She hesitated for a moment, let Zhang Shuai go first, and then asked Tian Xin: "Rui Lian asked you to connect with me about Xiao Zhou's matter, so how are you and Xiao Zhou..."
"I am his lover." Tian Xin said.
The temperature in early autumn changes every day.
After coming out of the law firm, Tian Xin couldn't help but hug herself.
She was wearing the same blue shirt as Lin Zhou, and the white pants he said looked good.
A gust of wind blew by, and her short hair flew wildly, making her feel a little cold.
"Let's go back!" Zhang Shuai took off his coat and put it on her, motioning her to get in the car.
She looked at Zhang Shuai's arm in plaster and opened her mouth, but no words came out several times.
"elder brother."
She still said it.
Zhang Shuai frowned: "What's wrong?"
"I……"
"Well, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Shuai stared into her eyes, his breathing seemed to stop. "Do you... have anything to say to me?"
He seemed even more nervous than Tian Xin.
Tian Xin was simply too preoccupied to speak. He stared intently at her lips, not daring to blink. His constant swallowing revealed his nervousness.
Tian Xin clutched the corner of her clothes, took a deep breath, and when she exhaled, she spoke with a brave face: "Brother, I plan to..."
"Beep beep beep beep beep beep..."
As soon as she said that, her phone rang suddenly.
Both of them were startled by the ringing of the bell, and they both breathed a sigh of relief silently.
Tian Xin answered the phone and her eyes widened after hearing just one sentence: "What?"
Then, her grip loosened and the phone fell to the ground. Zhang Shuai was terrified and quickly used his good hand to hold her up: "What's wrong? What happened?
She turned her head and looked at Zhang Shuai woodenly, her voice trembling: "Brother... Lin Zhou... he..."
"What happened to him?"
"He...he..." She didn't say anything else.
Zhang Shuai picked up the phone on the ground and pulled her back into the car: "Go back first. Don't be afraid. Your brother is here. If the sky falls, I'll hold it up."
