Li Man said anxiously: "It's really nothing, it's just, they all know that I killed someone..."
Riemann's voice became smaller and smaller, and he lowered his head.
"What's wrong with killing people? If you don't kill people, are you waiting to be killed? In that situation, no matter what you do, just protect yourself." Huo Jiansheng said excitedly.
Li Man looked up at Huo Jiansheng with gratitude. In fact, she couldn't get over this hurdle in her heart these days. She always felt that she was different from others because she had killed someone. She felt guilty and scared. All kinds of inexplicable emotions tore her apart. So she was so sad to hear others talking about her like this.
The strange looks from others made her feel like an outlier.
"Don't think too much, you are right, really." Huo Jiansheng said softly.
Li Man's eyes became hot and tears almost fell. She quickly took out the handkerchief that Huo Jiansheng had just given her and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
"Why should I be afraid of you?"
"Because I killed someone."
"You killed bad guys. It's not your fault. Don't feel burdened."
"Thank you." Riemann was very moved, his eyes were wet again, and he said in a hoarse voice.
"Don't say thank you to me again. You have already said thank you to me many times today." Huo Jiansheng said dissatisfiedly.
Li Man burst into laughter and said, "By the way, I'll give you the money you paid for the lawyer you hired for me. If you hadn't helped me, this case wouldn't have been settled so quickly."
"Forget it, that lawyer is my friend, and he didn't charge me much money, so just treat me to a meal."
In fact, Li Man knew that for a case like hers, hiring a lawyer would cost at least tens of thousands of dollars.
Li Man really wanted to say thank you to Huo Jiansheng, but Huo Jiansheng just told her not to say thank you anymore.
She had no choice but to say, "Then I'll treat you to whatever you want to eat, no matter how expensive it is."
"Okay, actually this cafe is a Western restaurant. The steaks here are delicious, and the raw materials are all imported from abroad. Otherwise, you can treat me to a steak."
"Okay, order whatever you want." Riemann said generously.
“But the steak here is very expensive. Are you sure you want to treat me?” Huo Jiansheng kindly reminded.
Li Man was a little unsure. She didn't have much money left. She hadn't worked for a month and her money was almost gone. She asked hesitantly, "How much does it cost?"
Huo Jiansheng thought Li Man was cute, and resisted the urge to laugh, saying, "One copy should cost about 10,000 or 20,000 yuan."
"Ah?" Riemann's eyes widened in shock. "So expensive?"
It was really poverty that limited her imagination. Ten or twenty thousand yuan could buy a cow!
Riemann was a little embarrassed, she thought it would be at most two or three thousand.
Huo Jiansheng saw Li Man's embarrassment and stopped teasing her. He said, "Actually, I don't like steak either. It's just a little bit and I can't feel full. How about this, let's go eat hot pot. Hot pot has everything and it can fill you up."
Li Man quickly agreed, "Okay, okay, I also think that steak is not filling, and how can it be filling without rice?"
Huo Jiansheng wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to. He looked at his watch and said, "It's getting late. How about we go now? Where should we go to eat?"
"Where do you want to eat?" Riemann asked.
“Can you handle spicy food?”
"sure."
"How about we go eat Chongqing spicy hotpot."
"Okay!" Riemann said cheerfully.
A hotpot meal for two people would cost at most one or two thousand yuan, which she could still afford.
