Shen Fei rushed all the way to the roadside. Nothing happened during this period. She was particularly glad that she parked her car outside today. Otherwise, if she went to the dark parking lot at this time, she would probably be scared to death.
After seeing pedestrians and vehicles outside, Shen Fei's heart slowly calmed down. She found the key in her bag and opened the car door.
It was only from the time she entered the car to the time it started that Shen Fei could hear no sound.
The sound of car horns on the road just now has now disappeared.
She took out her cell phone and checked it, but the signal was still zero.
Shen Fei was trembling all over. She continued to look outside without giving up, but as soon as her eyes turned to the window, she was stunned.
At this moment, there was a person standing outside the car window. He was wearing a white robe and his hair was loose, so his face could not be seen clearly. He only felt that he was full of gloomy and scary energy.
She didn't move at all, staring at Shen Fei in the car with a look of great resentment.
Shen Fei only took a glance and quickly turned her eyes away. She felt that the outline of the person in front of her was inexplicably familiar, but when asked to say who it was, she couldn't think of it for a while.
However, Shen Fei also knew that the other party was definitely not a normal thing, because the talisman in her hand was getting hot.
She didn't know what she was thinking at the time. When the woman came over, she immediately slammed the hot talisman against the car window.
"ah--"
A shrill scream was heard, and then Shen Fei felt that his vision around him suddenly became much wider. The darkness that had just surrounded the car seemed to be suddenly dispelled and became clear again.
The key is that I can hear the horns of cars on the road.
Shen Fei wiped the sweat that slid down his cheeks and picked up the phone again. At this time, the phone signal had returned to normal.
She didn't even bother to drive, and the first thing she did was to call Wei Mian.
————
Wei Mian brought a cup of hot milk and handed it to Chen Fei.
"You know the thing that's haunting you, right?"
She sat down on the other side of the sofa.
Shen Fei couldn't help but shudder when she thought of the person she had been dreaming about these past few nights.
"I know her. She's Zhao Xiaomei, the former administrative assistant at our law firm."
Shen Fei looked a little dazed. She thought of the woman who worked as hard as an old ox. She was only 35 years old, but she looked like she was 45.
They have worked together for six years, and Shen Fei asked himself if he had ever done anything to let Zhao Xiaomei down, and they even had a very good relationship.
When the two of them worked together before, she helped Zhao Xiaomei a lot because there were many things she didn't understand.
Everyone in the law firm thought that the two were good friends, but Shen Fei knew that her personality determined that she could not be friends with Zhao Xiaomei.
At most, they could be considered colleagues with whom she had a relatively good relationship, because she really didn't like Zhao Xiaomei's personality.
Zhao Xiaomei once talked about her family affairs with Shen Fei and another female lawyer Wang Yan. Later, Wang Yan didn't want to listen anymore, so she came to share with Shen Fei.
"Zhao Xiaomei came a year later than me. We both did internships at Zhencheng Law Firm, but I later became a real lawyer through my internship, while Zhao Xiaomei felt the pressure was too great and switched to an administrative position."
Even when she was transferring, she only made one request, which was to get off work on time.
Lawyer Han agreed without hesitation, as he was still in charge of the matter.
Zhao Xiaomei is a person with no sense of her own, and other people make decisions for her in her life. Therefore, she doesn't like being in a management position. Instead, she likes the feeling of being assigned work, and it would be best if she doesn't have to worry about anything.
"She's been working as an administrative assistant for five years. She's had other positions during this time, but she felt she lacked the energy and never moved."
"Four years ago, Zhao Xiaomei's husband opened a beer house that was open until late every night. During the day, her husband, mother-in-law, and the waiters were busy there, and Zhao Xiaomei would help out at night, working until late every night."
It's not even just the second half of the night, many times we have to work all night.
"I don't go to bed until four or five in the morning, sleep for about four hours, and then come to work at the law firm. This is what I do almost every day."
"So within a year, Zhao Xiaomei had aged significantly and had lost weight to only 90 kilograms. Remember, she's nearly 1.7 meters tall and only weighed 90 kilograms."
"During that time, her menstruation was also irregular. Every time before her period, she would have stomach pains so severe that she almost fainted. She took time off to go to the hospital for several checkups, and the doctor said she had adenomyosis. It seems that there is no cure for premature menopause."
"For the next three years, Zhao Xiaomei looked terrible every day, often unable to stand due to the pain. When the pain got so severe, she had to take leave from her work at the law firm."
"Later, when we visited her shop, we learned that even when she was in so much pain that she couldn't go to work, she still went to the shop to work at night. Her body was hunched over with pain, and her lips had no color at all. Even with that, her husband and mother-in-law would scold her, saying she shouldn't have such a sullen face when she was doing business."
"I couldn't bear it, so I couldn't help but have a few words with her husband. He tortured his wife's body like this every day. He's the typical man who values money over life."
"Zhao Xiaomei often talks about how much her husband and mother-in-law each gets. I heard her say that the house they got married in was in her mother-in-law's name, and later they saved some money and bought another house upstairs in the same unit, also in her mother-in-law's name."
"The car is in her mother-in-law's name, the shop is in her mother-in-law's name, and all the revenue and money from the beer house are in her mother-in-law's hands."
"But it wasn't Zhao Xiaomei's mother-in-law who asked for all this, it was her husband who did it. But Zhao Xiaomei didn't raise any objections."
As a lawyer, Shen Fei knew too well the consequences of doing so.
If Zhao Xiaomei ever wants to divorce her husband in the future, she will have to leave the house with nothing, because the couple has no property in their names and she will not get anything.
It would be extremely difficult to get the share of the property that his wife deserves. Even Lawyer Han was not sure of winning the case.
"Zhao Xiaomei's husband used to earn less than 2,000 yuan a month, but after opening this beer house, his monthly net income is about 50,000 to 60,000 yuan. His attitude has changed. Every time he comes to the law firm, he's very arrogant and looks down on everyone."
"We see a lot of similar men in places like law firms. They think they have money and want to change their wives."
"I've reminded Zhao Xiaomei more than once, urging her to resist and keep the detailed records of her family's store transactions, as well as certain recordings and other evidence. If they're never used, that's fine, but what if they do come in handy someday?"
"But she kept saying things like she had resisted before and that it was useless. Lawyer Wang Yan and I both felt that she must have realized the wrongness of this family relationship, but she just hadn't wanted to change."
"So I tried to persuade her more often, but eventually I realized she didn't want to hear it, so I stopped talking about it."
"Three months ago, she suddenly fell from the elevator and never woke up again."
