Xu Baohan's gaze paused on her for two seconds and he said, "Without lawyers and prosecutors, there's no need for judges to exist. We're all working for the law, there's nothing to hate."
An Lan listened to his indifferent words and suddenly remembered that she had lost the case a few days ago. She had even secretly scolded him in the toilet. It did seem like she was quite narrow-minded.
"I'm sorry about Lin Hao's case …" An Lan apologized sincerely. Sun Xiaoxiao's incident had shown her Xu Baohan's soft side.
Xu Baohan pursed his lips. "If an apology is useful, why do we need the police? If you really feel sorry, then treat me to a meal."
"…"
An Lan almost wanted to pick her ears. Did he have no shame? She had only apologized out of feelings, but he had shamelessly climbed up the pole and asked her to treat him to a meal.
Her expression just now must have been short-circuited.
"Chief Judge Xu, I remember I just treated you to a meal last time," An Lan said through gritted teeth. "You can't always rely on me to treat you to a meal just because the house is being renovated to save money."
Xu Baohan looked at her calmly. "I think the word 'sorry' is useless. It can't be eaten as a meal. I think it's more practical to eat."
"I refuse," An Lan said without hesitation. "To you, the word 'sorry' is very simple. It's just moving your lips, but to me, it really took a lot of courage. It represents my sincerity, so I definitely won't treat you to a meal again."
Xu Baohan's brows were deeply furrowed.
Did she think that he cared about that meal? It was just an excuse to get to know each other better.
"By the way, did Sun Xiaoxiao go crazy because the murderer wasn't sentenced after her parents died?" An Lan brought the topic back to the original topic.
"Yes."
Because she didn't agree to that meal, Xu Baohan's eyes were dark. "She was shocked when she saw her parents' tragic death. At that time, the police suggested that she receive psychological treatment, but because she had to appear in court, she had to recall that painful experience over and over again. In addition, the murderer was released in court, so she couldn't accept it …"
An Lan was sad. If it were her, she would probably be so angry that she wanted to die. "She must hate me very much."
Xu Baohan nodded. "She didn't have the chance to hate me. After the case ended, she went crazy."
"…"
An Lan felt a strong sense of sorrow.
Xu Baohan continued, "At first, she was in the county's mental hospital, but the conditions there weren't good. After I transferred to Xia City, I brought her over. After her parents died, she had relatives, but none of them wanted to accept a mentally ill person like her."
An Lan understood. Mental illness was really scary. Sometimes, they would even do things that hurt others. "I couldn't tell that Chief Judge Xu also has a kind side."
"You're thinking too much." Xu Baohan didn't seem to like people saying that he was kind-hearted. "I just feel that I'm the one who handled this case, so I'm responsible."
"I'm not responsible. I'm just following the rules." An Lan looked up at him with a smile. "I'm just kind-hearted."
Her eyes were clear and bright.
Xu Baohan felt uneasy being stared at by her, and his ears heated up slightly.
This was the first time he had been praised as kind-hearted. He had seen too many people pointing at his nose and calling him "cold-blooded and heartless", including his most important family members.
"An Lan, you don't understand me," he said with a cold face.
