Jin Wanyi looked at the end of the tree-lined road and asked suspiciously, "There's really someone guarding it? You're not lying to me? "
"When have I ever lied to you?!" Yin Shixiong looked humiliated as he thumped his chest and said loudly, "I, Yin Shixiong, have always been upright and never lie. How dare you doubt my character!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! That's not what I meant … "Jin Wanyi's face was red with anxiety," Of course I believe you, but … "
Before she could finish her sentence, she heard a soft chuckle coming from somewhere not far away. The chuckle sounded like a small silver bell on a hollowed-out fragrant gold and silver embroidered ball, and it was indescribably moving to her ears.
Jin Wanyi couldn't help looking in the direction of the sound.
About 90 degrees in front of them was a beautiful girl wearing a light yellow cashmere sweater, a white wool A-line skirt, and black boots. She was carrying a backpack and dragging a small LV suitcase. She stood under the evergreen tree and smiled at them, her large eyes curved into crescent moons. It was an unforgettable sight.
"Oh? Aren't you Gu Nianzhi? "Jin Wanyi recognized her immediately," You've recovered from your injuries? "
She looked Gu Nianzhi up and down and saw that she was in high spirits, her skin was fair and rosy, her eyes were clear, and her hair was dark. She didn't look like she had been injured at all.
Gu Nianzhi nodded, "Hello, Lawyer Jin. Are you here to see Brother Xiong? I'm sorry, but Brother Xiong has to take me back to school first. Do you want to come with us? "
Jin Wanyi had originally come to see Gu Nianzhi with her own eyes.
She had taken on Xu Piaohong's case, and one of the main crimes was causing Gu Nianzhi's spinal injury …
The Xu family hadn't seen Gu Nianzhi ever since the conflict with Xu Piaohong and her mother at the warehouse supermarket.
That was why Xu Piaohong kept insisting that Gu Nianzhi was faking it. Even when Jin Wanyi obtained Gu Nianzhi's X-ray report and the orthopedic doctor's medical record of her ankle dislocation, it didn't help.
Jin Wanyi also had a headache dealing with this kind of client, but since it was her client, she had to think for her own benefit. It had nothing to do with her personal opinion. This was her professional ethics.
Seeing Gu Nianzhi with her own eyes, Jin Wanyi was also a little confused. She walked around Gu Nianzhi twice and looked hesitant to speak.
Gu Nianzhi understood what she meant and generously extended the dislocated foot. "It's this foot. It was dislocated. Luckily, the doctor was very good and put it back in place. And here … "
She turned around so that her back was facing Jin Wanyi. "My spine was in so much pain that I couldn't sit up for a few days. I could only lie down. I've had an X-ray and an MRI. What else do you want to ask, Lawyer Jin?"
Jin Wanyi didn't expect Gu Nianzhi to immediately understand what she meant. She said sheepishly, "I just wanted to see for myself. Are you really okay?"
She turned to look at Jin Wanyi and spread her hands. "I don't know about that. Bone injuries can't be seen anyway, and they don't hurt now. I don't know if they'll relapse in the future." Jin Wanyi was speechless. She looked at Gu Nianzhi with a smile.
Anyway, his medical records were complete. Now that his injuries were healed, he couldn't say that his previous injuries were not counted, right?
That wasn't how lawsuits were fought.
Jin Wanyi nodded. "Alright then, I'll go with you. My client is still in the detention center, and the trial will only start in two weeks. I'd like to talk to Miss Gu and see if we can settle this out of court."
If they settled out of court, they wouldn't have to go through the legal process. However, civil compensation and an apology would be necessary.
Most of the time, as long as it didn't involve a life or bodily injury, it could be settled out of court.
However, Gu Nianzhi had indeed suffered a bodily injury this time. If she hadn't been lucky, she might have been paralyzed in bed.
So of course, she wouldn't agree to settle out of court in such a situation.
However, Gu Nianzhi didn't make it sound so absolute in front of Jin Wanyi. She only said vaguely, "This is too complicated. I can't answer you right now. I'm sorry, Lawyer Jin. I'm in a hurry to get back to school. "
Seeing that it was getting dark, Gu Nianzhi wanted to return to the dormitory before dark.
Yin Shixiong made a call and had someone drive a Hummer SUV over to take Gu Nianzhi back to school.
Jin Wanyi followed without hesitation and sat in the back seat with Gu Nianzhi.
Yin Shixiong sat in the front passenger seat and said to the driver, "Go to B University. Enter from the south gate to the postgraduate dormitory."
The Hummer SUV roared as it drove out of the Special Operations Forces headquarters and towards the south gate of B University.
Jin Wanyi kept looking at Gu Nianzhi along the way and tried to think of a way to talk to her.
After a while, she said, "Miss Gu, your hands are so beautiful. What brand of hand cream do you use?" As she spoke, she reached out and tried to shake Gu Nianzhi's hand.
Gu Nianzhi smiled at her and generously extended her hand for her to shake. She even smiled and said, "Lawyer Jin, what kind of evidence are you looking for? You can ask me directly. "
Jin Wanyi's lips quivered for a long time, but she was too embarrassed to say it.
She couldn't wait for Gu Nianzhi to take off her clothes and let her touch her spine …
Gu Nianzhi wouldn't agree even if she thought about it with her knees. Also, there was a burly man sitting in the front seat.
Jin Wanyi didn't dare to act rashly. She changed the topic and tried to plead on Xu Piaohong's behalf. "Miss Gu, was it a misunderstanding that day at the warehouse supermarket? My client is very sorry and regretful. I was wondering if you could give her a chance on account of her youth and vigor. Of course, compensation will be paid and a solemn apology will be made. Just don't go to court, okay? "
Gu Nianzhi listened quietly to Jin Wanyi and glanced at her coolly. "Lawyer Jin, we already gave her a chance. Did she tell you that this is the second time she's caused trouble for me?"
"The second time?" Jin Wanyi's eyes widened. "What other conflicts did you have in the past?!"
Gu Nianzhi told her about how Xu Piaohong had forced her to stop the car on New Year's Day. She added, "We didn't hold it against her at the time. We thought it was over and that she wouldn't be so reckless in the future. In the end, we did something wrong out of good intentions. If we had just taught her a lesson, she wouldn't have gotten worse and started hitting me out of habit."
The corners of Jin Wanyi's mouth twitched as she listened. She couldn't tell that Xu Piaohong was actually a troublemaker …
She actually knew that it wouldn't be easy to settle this matter out of court. However, no matter how she looked at it, Gu Nianzhi didn't look like she was seriously injured. She thought that she should convince her to drop the charges. That way, the case would be easier to resolve.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't do anything about Jin Wanyi's pestering. When they arrived at the dorm building, she was in a hurry to go upstairs. She said perfunctorily, "Actually, it's not up to me whether to drop the charges or not. This kind of personal injury case is usually prosecuted by the police. You should discuss it with the prosecutor first …"
"Ok, I'll go talk to the prosecutor then." Jin Wanyi agreed to her suggestion and got out of the car with her.
Standing in front of the car door, Jin Wanyi squinted at the newly renovated graduate dorm building. She said enviously, "This place is really nice. Which floor do you live on?"
Gu Nianzhi smiled and didn't answer. She turned and waved at Yin Shixiong. "Brother Xiong, I'm going up."
She dragged her small suitcase into the dorm building and went straight to the elevator.
Jin Wanyi watched her enter the elevator before turning to Yin Shixiong. "Excuse me, but can you take me back again? My car is still parked near you guys. "
"What a problem." Yin Shixiong was a bit impatient. "Lawyer Jin, you can't just park there. You don't have to go either. Your car should have been towed away already." As he spoke, he wrote down a phone number for her. "This is the number of the towing company. You can call and get your car."
Yin Shixiong turned to get in the car and ordered the driver to drive away.
Jin Wanyi's eyes dimmed when she saw Yin Shixiong's attitude. She looked at the phone number in her hand and left B University to get someone to take her to her car.
…
Gu Nianzhi returned to her dorm. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Ma Qiqi rush out of her room. "Nianzhi? Nianzhi? Are you back?! "
She pounced on her with a smile. Gu Nianzhi quickly took two steps back and said with a smile, "My injury just healed. Stop, hurry up and stop!"
Ma Qiqi's laughter was especially loud. The entire hallway could hear her voice. "That's great! That's great! Are you okay?! I was so worried. Someone kept saying that you might be paralyzed! "
"Who?" Gu Nianzhi was curious. "They're that concerned about me?"
"Concerned?" Ma Qiqi's laughter turned into a sneer. "That person wants nothing more than to paralyze you and never get up again!"
Gu Nianzhi put down her suitcase in amusement. Just as she was about to take off her boots, she suddenly heard someone yell her name from behind. "Gu Nianzhi! You're too evil! Not only did you harm me, you also harmed my cousin! What grudge do I have against you?! "
Gu Nianzhi turned around to see Miao Yunxiao clenching her fists angrily. Her face was streaked with tears.
