The Lawyer - Chapter 184
The night is deep and the clouds are drooping.
On Dumont Expressway, two shuttle cars drove one behind the other, the one in front was bright red, and the one in back was low-key matte black. The light from the headlights dashed across like water.
Yan Suizhi remembers that Fitz once said: “No matter what Gu Yan thinks, at least I treat him as a good friend unilaterally.”
He always wanted to say to this girl: “Not unilateral, Gu Yan is the same.”
There is always a different kind of tacit understanding between friends at certain moments.
When he and Gu Yan went to the first floor, Fitz said nothing.
She just stared at the eyes of the two for a long while, and then suddenly laughed like a relief. Then he took out the light-activated start key of the shuttle car and shook it quite capriciously: “The office was panicking. I want to drag the car. Do you want to go?”
Gu Yan looked at her suspiciously for a moment, and went upstairs to take her coat: “Let’s go.”
At that time, Yan Suizhi hadn’t figured out why he was suspicious until he got on the levitating track.
This young lady who kept racing, stunned the bottom line of the speed and ran through the whole course of Dumont Expressway. In the process, as long as it was a four-wheeled one, she could overtake her car.
In this way, she dared to instruct the shuttle car to turn into the faster cloud suspension path, and then still pressed the lower limit of the prescribed speed.
During this time, lawyer Gu couldn’t hold back, opened the in-car communication, connected to Fitz leading the way, and calmly asked: “Miss, do you know the meaning of drag racing? I suspect I may have heard it wrong before, what you said should be Walk? ”
Fitz ’s laughter came out on the communication channel, “Do n’t scare people with the meanness, even the interns are not afraid, how can I be afraid of you. To be honest, I usually do n’t drive up the suspension road alone. This For me, it ’s already a hitch. I ’m not satisfied though I mention it, anyway, I wo n’t speed it up. ”
Gu Yan was silent for a moment: “Then why did you choose the shuttle when buying a car?”
“Because he is handsome.”
“…”
Gu Yan thought about it and closed the channel in the car with one click.
Yan Suizhi knew too much about Lawyer Gu’s temper. He is just a cold man, and the better the relationship, the less polite. You see, he was mean for a long time, and after hanging up the communication, he didn’t honestly follow the Fitz car, and reached the end.
They galloped on the suspended road for more than an hour, and had already left the Fawang District and entered the border forest.
There is even a time difference between the center and the 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 elevation in the area, with a wind tower on top, and the door is open all day. As long as you are interested, you can go to the highest level of the landscape platform at any time, overlooking the entire forest area.
The wind tower is always lively in spring and summer, and it will not be deserted until late in the autumn and winter.
The time they chose was very good, and the top viewing platform was empty.
Fitz opened the skylight with familiar doors, and all the black roofs withdrew to the sides, leaving only huge glass without any supports and dividing marks, and the starry sky above him was caged unshielded.
Fitz didn’t even have to go, he pointed to a distant star and said, “Well, did you see that one you know? It’s my hometown. I have lived there since my great-great-great-great-great-grandfathers, but I already have many Haven’t been back in many years. ”
Yan Suizhi, as a veteran stray school, was born with a hatred of direction, and could never find the North from the map.
He smiled and nodded to Miss Fitz’s eyes, then turned his face and plucked Gu Yan’s ear, and asked silently with his mouth: “This refers to north or south? Which planet?”
Gu Yan moved his lips: “West. The brightest one in the West in the winter is the Yunqiao Star.”
That is one of the few wonders of all the livable planets in the Alliance. Because of the special composition of the atmosphere, the sky there is always golden. The nearest star will always be blocked by its own satellite for most of the time, like a silver crescent, hanging upside down across the sky forever, like a bridge in the cloud.
The planet got its name.
It is said that the people of Yunqiaoxing are always naive and straightforward, as passionate and romantic as their eternal sky.
There are not many Yunqiao stars familiar with Yan Suizhi, but from the view of only a few, especially Miss Fitz, this is indeed a bit of truth.
He asked Fitz: “You often come here in the middle of the night?”
As a result, the lady immediately shook her head and said, “No, the forest area is too deep. I dare not come alone. I am afraid to turn around and go to social news.”
She blinked at the two lawyers and said unkindly: “Waiting to coax one or two people with a sense of security one day to accompany me. The late night scenery here is very rare, I want to watch it for a long time , I ’m struggling to deceive people, and today I finally got caught. ”
Yan Suizhi was holding the railing with both hands to look at the distant star belt, Wen Yan shook his head and smiled and said: “Miss, social news is not so easy to access.”
“Yeah, but you know, working in some places for a long time will always cause a little misunderstanding about this world. There are always a lot of abnormalities, there is one every 100 meters or something.” Fitz broke his finger, “Like police stations, courts, inspection offices, hospitals, and law firms, this is the case.”
She paused and said: “Although I don’t fight lawsuits, I am only in charge of administration, but I also come into contact with various criminal cases every day, plus family reasons … Sometimes it is easy to go to extremes, especially In the two years after I arrived in Southern Cross, I was about to have a delusion of murder. Later, I found a good way to avoid becoming a neuropathy. ”
Yan Suizhi asked smoothly: “What way?”
“During weekend breaks, go to the squares or even welfare homes around the league. Buy some drinks, sweet ones, find a quiet corner and sit for an afternoon.”
Yan Suizhi froze slightly.
This is the decompression method he once mentioned to his students a long time ago. It was just that in private, at his birthday party, he heard all his direct students.
Fitz is not one of them, but has done something similar, and it is a kind of fate between friends.
“Sitting in those places, you will always see a lot of moments.” Fitz narrowed his eyes and thought back.
Many people will stand in front of a wandering musician, listen to a whole song quietly, and then give some thoughts and compliments. Someone laughed and talked because they were sitting on the same bench. Some people will lift up the children who are tumbling in the middle of the play, and some people will give a hearty smile to the pets that others have passed by.
“Every time I see those moments, it will counteract a lot of negative thoughts, and I feel like there are not so many perverts, and gentle and kind people will always occupy 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. ”
She said, glancing in the direction of Gu Yan.
Related to Gu Yan, Yan Suizhi is always very interested: “Oh? Which one?”
“Every year newcomers to the law firm, there will always be a group of handsome faces who are addicted to our lawyer. Both men and women, but he seems to have a signal shielding instrument. Do you know. It is the kind-humans and animals within eight kilometers Points, collectively referred to as living creatures, what men and women … there are men and women in the world? “Fitz painted Gu Yan with a vivid voice.
“–That’s it. Anyway, when I first joined the company, he ignored me at all. I suspected that he didn’t even know whether the new administrative personnel were male or female.”
Miss Fitz took the opportunity to complain.
Yan Suizhi kept bending her eyes and laughing.
Gu Yan would like to refute that “it’s not too much, I’m not blind after all”, but he doesn’t like to interrupt others, so he has to let the other person talk nonsense.
“One time later, by coincidence, I went to the orphanage to sit and watch the children quarrel, watch the non-kind donors and volunteers chat with the children, and I was seen by Gu. I do n’t know what I did. Remind him of someone or something, anyway, since then, his attitude towards me has been more moderate. I was once thought that he took a fancy to me, and later found out that I think too much. ”
“…”
Gu Yan silently pinched the bridge of his nose, desperately helpless.
“Did you drink before getting on the bus?” Gu Yan asked.
“No,” Fitz said, “what?”
“Nothing, just think you seem very … excited tonight.” Gu Yan said.
Fitz nodded: “I don’t seem to be, I’m just excited. Knowing that you are doing the same thing as me, I am really happy. ”
“Don’t you know before?” This was a bit unexpected.
“I don’t know.” Fitz said. “You don’t do much in the law firm. Where can I know what you are doing? But there have been many guesses–”
She looked at Yan Suizhi and said, “When you first brought the registration card, I started to guess. Because I rarely receive people like you who have blank resumes and other records. I didn’t know Which side are you? I do n’t know whether you are good or bad. But I just wanted to trouble the Southern Cross and collect one or two instability factors, so I received your registration certificate without asking. It turns out , My vision is okay. ”
“Why?” Gu Yan looked at her.
Why would you stand with us? Why did you enter the Southern Cross? This is the question they wanted to ask when they were in the law firm.
Fitz said: “Because of my parents.”
“Your parents?”
Fitz nodded. She looked at the distant star in the west and seemed to recall many things: “My parents … mainly my mother. When I was young, my family had a very thick family and I could not spend the money. She later inherited me The thinking of my great-grandfather and great-grandmother took advantage of money to invest everywhere. She was involved in many industries, such as medical treatment, transportation, materials and even ordnance, etc. Later she bought two medicine mines at Herlan Star. But … that ’s it Two medicine mines destroyed my home. ”
“My mother later went to jail and passed away. Because of this, my father has been reborn again and again for a full three years of illness, and he has made a bad foundation, and no transplantation and sterilization have been of great use and have not survived.”
Medicine mine?
Go to jail?
Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan looked at each other, the more they heard, the more they seemed to know each other. They frowned for a moment and tried to ask Fitz: “What is your parent’s name?”
Fitz said: “My father’s name is Gregory Fitz and is a teacher. My mother’s name is Maggie Luce.”
“Luc?”
“Yes what’s the matter?”
Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan both thought of what Joe had shown them. It was his sister Yunis’s video diary, which recorded the former Manson Manor Tea Party.
The young and capable lady with outstanding temperament was named Luce-
He also owns two medicine mines, is also married to an ordinary teacher, is also imprisoned, and commits suicide soon afterwards.
When I heard about Ms. Luce, Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan both felt a little emotional.
But they never imagined that she would be Fitz’s mother.
Fitz whispered: “I sometimes feel sad. The alliance has such a good medical technology and such a good facility. Why can’t even my parents save it? There must be some conspiracy. But then I found out that maybe The conspiracy is not here, but elsewhere. ”
“When I graduated from college, I got some news-the two medicine mines left by my parents were collected by a shell company, and that shell company was actually attributed to the Southern Cross partner, So I entered the law firm. ”
Over the years, she has been hiding in the Southern Cross’s administrative personnel system, 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 frame of the Southern Cross, and to understand things beyond the Southern Cross. It was impossible to find out which characters were involved in it. Naturally, she would not know that someone was standing in line with her.
“For a long time, I have always felt very, very lonely. I don’t know who I can help, or who can help me.” Fitz looked at the distance, some beautiful starry eyes, “But it’s strange, and I’m not afraid. I have a sense of self-confidence and feel that what I’m doing must be useful. There will always be someone standing with me, but I just have to wait.”
“So you know why I’m so excited tonight? Because I read the running logs and knew that I finally, finally don’t have to guess and wait any longer.”
Fitz smiled, and she turned to Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan and said, “I am not alone at last. What could be more gratifying than this?”
After thinking about it, Yan Suizhi said warmly, “That’s really gone.”
The wilderness was quiet outside the window, and Changlin was undulating.
The night is long and endless, as if dormant with many inestimable things.
However, the stars overhead are long, and I don’t know how many light years away the planetary belt crosses the sky, like an endless river with shining light, in which the stars meet.
Just like there is always some way in this world, when you step on it, you know that you are never alone.
