Jiang Yilai, feeling uneasy, sorted through the final case files. Although the perpetrator could not be convicted, the guardian should still be held legally responsible.
Zhang Yue hurriedly knocked on the office door.
"Director Jiang, this is bad news. We just received news that Gao Zhuo has taken over the Fu family's case."
The worst fears still came true. Jiang Yilai knew that with Jiang Lezhen's status, there was no way she could persuade Gao Zhuo to do so unless Fu Nanxiao gave the order.
He knew he was back!
This was a real miscalculation. If she had known the case beforehand, she wouldn't have come back so rashly.
But it's too late to say anything now.
"I find it really strange. Although people in the industry are afraid of Gao Zhuo, they also know his character. He would never take on this kind of case for fame or money, so they have always been relatively at ease with him."
"But unexpectedly, he was still persuaded by the Fu family, which is very disadvantageous for us."
Jiang Yilai tried her best to remain calm. What made her panic was never the strength of her opponent, but Fu Nanxiao.
"We are on the side of justice, and no matter how powerful he is, it's useless."
"But Attorney Gao has never lost a case since he started practicing law."
"Then let's shatter his myth this time."
Seeing her so confident, Zhang Yue relaxed as well.
"I'm relieved to hear that. Just tell us what you need, and we'll do our best to help you."
"Go and ask the court when the trial will be held."
"Okay, I'll go find out first and let you know if I find out."
"Thanks for your hard work."
How much effort did Jiang Yilai have to put in to calm herself down?
She knew Fu Nanxiao's personality all too well; once he set his mind to something, he would never give up.
What should I do if I let him know about the child's existence?
Around dusk~
After a long day of work, the law firm staff arranged to have a meal together, which also served as a welcome party for Jiang Yilai.
Jiang Yilai walked out with everyone, chatting and laughing, without noticing a luxury car parked on the side of the road.
The pair of hawk-like eyes in the car were fixed on her.
Looking at her smile, looking at her graceful figure.
Every move, every smile...
Hatred took root in his heart, and he wanted to destroy everything.
At the dinner table, everyone raised their glasses to warmly welcome their new director.
"I'm not a good drinker, so I'll just have a drink to thank everyone for their kindness."
Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Director Jiang, don't worry, this kind of red wine won't make you drunk. It's rare for everyone to get together, so we'll definitely have to have a few more drinks."
"Yes, we're all so busy with work that we don't have time to relax. With you here, we feel at ease."
"If you're really drunk, we'll take you home."
Everyone was so enthusiastic and chattering that Jiang Yilai couldn't refuse and ended up drinking several glasses in a row.
I don't know if it's because of my mood, but my alcohol tolerance is really low today.
After a few glasses of red wine, her vision began to blur, and she felt nauseous.
"I'm going to the restroom."
After greeting everyone, Jiang Yilai stepped out of the room and suddenly felt a little weak in the legs, and even the corridor seemed much longer than when she first arrived.
I really shouldn't have drunk it, but I couldn't resist their kindness.
She staggered forward, almost reaching the restroom, but then she tripped over a step and fell.
Just as she was about to fall, a hand suddenly pulled her back from behind.
Due to inertia and her unsteady footing, Jiang Yilai fell into the other person's arms.
She sobered up considerably and realized something was wrong.
