First-Class Lawyer

Chapter 184 The Eve

The night was dark, with heavy clouds hanging low.

On the Dumont Expressway, two shuttle cars were driving one after the other, the front one was bright red, and the rear one was low-key matte black.The light from the headlights flashed across like water.

Yan Suizhi remembered that Fitz once said: "No matter what Gu Yan thinks, at least I unilaterally regard him as a very good friend."

He always wanted to tell this girl: "It's not one-sided, and Gu Yan is the same."

There will always be a different kind of tacit understanding between friends at certain moments, which is tacit.

When he and Gu Yan went to the first floor, Fitz didn't say anything clearly.

She just stared into the eyes of the two of them for a long while, and then suddenly laughed, a kind of relieved smile.Then he took out the light-sensitive start key of the shuttle car, and shook it willfully: "The office is in a panic, and I want to go racing. Shall I go?"

Gu Yan looked at her suspiciously for a moment, then went upstairs to get his coat: "Let's go."

At that time, Yan Suizhi hadn't figured out why he looked suspicious until he got on the levitation track.

The lady who kept saying she wanted to go racing, ran the entire Dumont Expressway under the bottom line in a daze. During the process, as long as it was a four-wheeled car, she could overtake her car.

Just like that, she still dared to order the shuttle car to turn into the faster cloud suspension road, and then still press the lower limit of the prescribed speed.

During this period, Lawyer Gu couldn't hold back, turned on the in-car communication, connected to Fitz who was leading the way ahead, and asked calmly, "Miss, do you know what drag racing means? I suspect that I may have misheard before. What you said should be walk?"

Fitz's laughter came out on the communication channel, "Don't scare people with being mean, even interns are not afraid of me anymore, so how can I be afraid of you. To be honest, I usually don't drive on the suspension road by myself. This For me, it is already fast. If you are not satisfied, just mention it, I will not speed up anyway.”

Gu Yan was silent for a moment: "Then why did you choose the Feishuo when you bought the car?"

"Because he's handsome."

"..."

Gu Yan thought for a while, and turned off the in-car channel with one click.

Yan Suizhi knew Lawyer Gu's temper very well.He is just a man with a cold mouth, and the better the relationship, the less polite he is.You can see that he was mean for a long time, and after hanging up the communication, he followed Fitz's car obediently and followed him to the finish line.

After galloping on the suspended track for more than an hour, they had already left the Fawang district and entered the outskirts of the forest.

There is even a time difference between here and the center of Fawang District. When they drove along the Panshan Road to the top of the mountain, the local time was 12 o'clock at night.

This mountain is the highest point in this area, with a wind tower on the top, and the gate is open at all times.As long as you are interested, you can go up to the highest viewing platform at any time, overlooking the entire boundless forest area.

The Wind Tower is always lively in spring and summer, and it becomes deserted in the late nights of autumn and winter.

They chose a good time and the viewing deck on the top floor was empty.

Fitz opened the skylight in a familiar way, and all the blackout roofs were withdrawn to the sides, leaving only the huge glass without any brackets or division marks, and the long starry sky above the head was enveloped unobstructed.

Fitz didn't even need to look for it, he pointed to a distant star and said, "Hey, did you see that star, you know it, it's my hometown, I've settled there since my great-great-great-grandfather's generation, but I've already Haven't been back for many years."

Yan Suizhi, as a senior lost party, has a natural hatred for directions, and he will never be able to find the north without a map.

He met Miss Fitz's eyes, smiled and nodded, then turned his face and plucked Gu Yan's ear, and asked silently with his mouth: "Does this refer to south or north? Which planet?"

Gu Yan moved his lips: "West. The brightest star in the west in winter is Yunqiao star."

That is one of the wonders of all the livable planets in the alliance.Because of the special composition of the atmosphere, the sky there will always be as golden as fire.The star closest to it will always be mostly blocked by its own satellite, like a silver crescent, always hanging upside down across the entire sky, like a bridge in the clouds.

Hence the name of the planet.

It is said that the people of Yunqiaoxing are always innocent and straightforward, as passionate and romantic as their eternal sky.

Yan Suizhi didn't know many Yunqiao stars, but from the perspective of the few, especially Miss Fitz, there was some truth to what he said.

He asked Fitz, "You often come here in the middle of the night?"

As a result, the young lady immediately shook her head and said, "No, the forest area is too deep, and I dare not come alone. I'm afraid that it will be on the social news if I turn around."

She winked at the two lawyers, and said unceremoniously: "I'm just waiting to coax one or two people who feel safe to come with me someday. The late night view here is very rare, and I've wanted to see it for a long time." , suffering from not being able to deceive anyone, I finally got caught today."

Yan Suizhi was leaning on the railing with both hands to look at the star belt in the distance. Hearing this, he shook his head and said with a smile, "Miss, social news is not so easy to access."

"Yes, but you understand that after working in some places for a long time, there will always be a little misunderstanding of the world. There are always too many perverts, one every [-] meters." Fitz counted on his fingers, "Like police stations, courts, prosecutors' offices, hospitals, and law firms, they all fall into this category."

She paused as she spoke, and then said: "Although I don't litigate, I'm only in charge of administration, but I also come into contact with various criminal cases every day, coupled with family reasons... Sometimes it's easy to go to extremes, especially In the two years since I first arrived at the Southern Cross, I was on the verge of persecution paranoia. Then I found a good way to avoid becoming a psychopath."

Yan Suizhi asked casually: "What way?"

"During weekend breaks, go to squares in Decama or even around the league, or orphanages. Buy some drinks, sweeter ones, find a quiet corner, and sit for an afternoon."

Yan Suizhi was slightly taken aback.

This is the decompression method he mentioned to his students long, long ago.It's just that in private at that time, at his birthday reception, all he heard were his direct students.

Fitz wasn't one of them, but he did something similar, which was considered a kind of fate between friends.

"Sitting in those places, you will always see many moments." Fitz narrowed his eyes and recalled.

There are many people who will stand in front of a wandering musician, listen to the whole song quietly, and then send some hearts and compliments.Someone laughed and chatted because they were sitting on the same bench.Some people will help children who have fallen to the ground during play, and some people will smile knowingly at pets that pass by others.

"Every time I see those moments, I will offset a lot of negative thoughts, and I will feel that there are not so many perverts, and gentle and kind people will always be the majority." Fitz shrugged, "Of course, this is just my one-sided idea .But there was something that made me happy for a long time."

As she spoke, she glanced in Gu Yan's direction.

Yan Suizhi is always interested in things related to Gu Yan: "Oh? What is it?"

"Among the newcomers to the law firm every year, there will always be a group of people who are obsessed with the handsome face of our lawyer Gu. There are men and women, but he seems to have turned on a signal jammer, you know. That's the kind-people and animals within a radius of eight kilometers are not They are all called living things, men and women... Are there men and women in the world?" Fitz said to Gu Yan vividly.

"—That's it. Anyway, when I first joined the company, he ignored me at all. I suspect he didn't even know whether the new executive was a man or a woman."

Miss Fitz took the opportunity to sue.

Yan Suizhi kept smiling with his eyes bent.

Gu Yan really wanted to retort, "That's not enough, I'm not blind after all", but he didn't like to interrupt others, so he had to let the other party talk nonsense.

"One time later, by coincidence, I went to the orphanage to sit and watch those children playing, and those non-relative donors and volunteers chatting with those children, and Gu saw it. I didn't know what I was doing. It made him think of someone or something, anyway, since then his attitude towards me has been gentler. I thought he had taken a fancy to me for a while, but later I found out that I thought too much."

"..."

Gu Yan silently pinched the bridge of his nose, extremely helpless.

"Did you drink before getting in the car?" Gu Yan asked.

"No." Fitz said, "What for?"

"It's nothing, I just feel that you seem very...excited tonight." Gu Yan said.

Fitz nodded: ""It doesn't seem like, I'm just very excited.It makes me so happy to know that you guys are doing the same thing as me. "

"You didn't know before?" This was a bit beyond their expectations.

"Not knowing." Fitz said, "You don't do much in the law firm, how can I know what you are doing? But there have been a lot of guesses—"

She looked at Yan Suizhi and said, "When you came here with the registration card, I started to guess. Because I rarely receive people with blank resumes like yours and even other records. I didn't know at that time Which side you're on, and I don't know if you're good or bad. But I just wanted to make things difficult for Southern Cross, and take one or two instabilities, so I took your registration card without even asking. It turns out , my eyesight is fine."

"Why?" Gu Yan looked at her.

Why are you on our side?Why did you enter the Southern Cross?This is the question they want to ask when they are in the law firm.

"Because of my parents," Fitz said.

"Your parents?"

Fitz nodded. She looked at the distant star in the west, and seemed to be recalling many things: "My parents...mainly my mother, when they were young, they had a very rich family with endless money. She later inherited my family. The thinking of my great-grandfather and my great-grandmother took advantage of the money to invest everywhere. She dabbled in many industries, such as medical care, transportation, materials and even armaments. Later, she invested and bought two medicine mines in Helan Star. But... that's it Two medicine mines ruined my family."

"My mother was later imprisoned and passed away. Because of this, my father suffered from repeated illnesses for three years. His foundation was so poor that no transplant or sterilization was of much use, nor did he get through it."

Medicine mine?

Go to jail?

Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan looked at each other, and the more they listened, the more they felt familiar.They frowned and thought about it for a moment, then tried to ask Fitz, "What are your parents' names?"

Fitz said, "My father's name is Gogli Fitz, a teacher. My mother's name is Maggie Luce."

"Luce?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan both remembered what Qiao showed them, which was the video diary of his sister Eunice, which recorded the tea party at Manson Manor.

The young and capable woman with outstanding temperament is named Luce——

He also owned two drug mines, also married an ordinary teacher, was also imprisoned, and committed suicide in prison shortly afterwards.

Both Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan were a little emotional when they heard about that Ms. Lu Si.

But they never expected that she would be Fitz's mother.

Fitz said softly: "Sometimes I feel very sad. The league has such good medical technology and facilities, why can't even my parents be saved? There must be some conspiracy in it. But then I found out, maybe The intrigue is not here, it is elsewhere."

"When I was about to graduate from university, I learned some news-the two medicine mines left by my parents were taken over by a shell company, and that shell company actually belonged to the partners of Southern Cross. So I went to the law firm."

Over the years, she has been hiding in the administrative and personnel system of the Southern Cross, slowly making herself a hub for various information of the Southern Cross.But too much interference made it difficult for her to jump out of the framework of the Southern Cross, to understand things other than the Southern Cross, and to find out who else was involved in it, and naturally she would not know that there were people standing on the same line with her.

"For a long time, I have always felt that I am very, very lonely. I don't know who I can help, and I don't know who can help me." Fitz looked into the distance, his beautiful eyes were full of stars, "But it's strange, and I'm not afraid. I have an inexplicable confidence that what I'm doing must be useful, and there will always be someone standing with me, just need to wait."

"So you guys know why I'm so excited tonight? Because I read those running logs and know that I finally, finally don't have to guess and wait."

She turned her head to look at Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan and said, "I'm not alone at last, what could be more joyful than this?"

Yan Suizhi thought for a while, then said softly, "That's really gone."

Gu Yan leaned against the railing, and Fitz also laughed.

Outside the window, the wilderness is silent, and the long forest is undulating.

The night is long and boundless, as if there are many incalculable things dormant.

However, the starlight above the head is endless, and the planetary belt, which is unknown how many light-years away, crosses the sky, like an endless river of shining light, in which, the stars gather together.

Just like there are always some roads in this world, if you step on them, you will know that you will never be alone.
