When Wu Tong left, Xia Chen was still in shock. It wasn't until the phone in her hand rang that she regained consciousness and picked it up.
"Where?"
On the phone, a pleasant male voice entered her heart, causing moving ripples in her heart. Then she lowered her beautiful eyes and sighed softly.
Over there, Huo Tianhan, who was sitting in the office, was looking at the information brought in by his secretary and drinking coffee. When he heard this sigh, he couldn't help but shrink his dark eyes, "What's wrong?"
Xia Chen leaned back in the chair behind him in frustration, "I met Wu Tong, but things didn't go as smoothly as I imagined. At the last moment, she changed her attitude. Only now do I realize how powerful the words "Chinese Famous Family" are.
It is profound and profound, not just fabricated."
Xia Chen's tone was full of sarcasm, self-deprecation, and helplessness.
Huo Tianhan asked calmly, "Oh? Which sentence made you so emotional?"
Xia Chen raised her wrist and looked at the time, then clamped the phone between her ears and shoulders, started sorting the information on the table with both hands, and sighed, "In this world, only villains and women are difficult to raise!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Tianhan laughed softly, "Such a deep emotion? What did Wu Tong say that made you so excited?" [
"Forget it, the trial will start tomorrow, but she is doing well now. We have all the evidence. We are just missing her. But she doesn't know what Wu Tong is afraid of. He changed his previous resolute attitude and said that she is the one
Party A, it almost made me schizophrenic!"
Huo Tianhan took a sip of coffee, looked up at the sunshine outside the landing, pursed his lips and smiled softly, "Her worries are not unnecessary, Xia Chen, Meng Meng disappeared."
"What?!"
Xia Chen's hands that were sorting things suddenly stopped, and she suddenly stood up from the chair. The half-drunk coffee and documents fell at her feet, in a panic...
When a waiter nearby saw this, he immediately stepped forward worriedly, "Miss, are you okay? Did you get burned? This lady..."
Xia Chen was just startled for a moment, then immediately retracted his thoughts and said to the other end of the phone, "I'll be right back." Then he picked up the things on the ground and rushed out of the cafe.

When Xia Chen rushed back to the office, Pei Jun was waiting there. He walked in without caring about etiquette and asked, "Mengmeng is gone, what should we do now? Wu Tong cares about the children so much. For her, there is no
If the child is born, what difference does it make between fighting this lawsuit and not fighting it?"
Huo Tianhan sat behind the desk and muttered, "Don't worry, I have asked Jason to investigate this matter. I believe there will be news soon. No matter how good He Jiaming is, unless he puts wings on his child
Fly, otherwise you will always find it, it’s just a matter of time.”
"But now we have no time at all!"
"Maybe I know where it is."
Xia Chen and Huo Tianhan looked back at the calm man on the sofa at the same time.
Pei Jun looked at them with a touch of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, "Lawyer Huo, when you just called me, I had already thought that this day would come. I know how despicable He Jiaming is and how extreme his methods are. For him,
What he wants will be destroyed at all costs, and what he doesn't want will be destroyed by any means. In recent years, his power in Shanghai has grown stronger and stronger, and few people in the business world are willing to become his opponent."
Xia Chen stepped forward, his face full of anxiety, "None of this is important. Even if He Jiaming has three heads and six arms, he is just a mortal. As long as he is a human, he will have weaknesses. The important thing now is to find Mengmeng. He is
At the age of six, we cannot let him know that his father is such a person. At that time, he will be very sad, and it will have a great shadow on his heart!"
Pei Jun took a deep look at Xia Chen, with a flash of allure in his eyes, "I have seen many kinds of women, but you are the only one who works so hard for other people's affairs like you..." [
Xia Chen didn't expect him to say that, and was a little stunned. Huo Tianhan behind him also narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of displeasure evident.
"Okay, we can't wait to find Mengmeng. From now on until we go to court tomorrow, we must be alert. Mr. Pei, just provide us with clues. Don't go there in person. You are now
The only person who can correct He Jiaming, safety is the most important thing. I will ask someone to arrange for you to go to the hotel. During this period, you are not to have any contact with anyone outside. Xia Chen, you are responsible for keeping an eye on Wu Tong and preparing the information and materials required for tomorrow's court session.
To put it bluntly, this is your first lawsuit. Whether it is related to your personal reputation or the parties involved in the case, the outcome can only be one, you can only win, not lose."
After Huo Tianhan decisively explained everything, he stood up, put on his coat, picked up the car keys, and walked over. He put his hands on Xia Chen's shoulders, his eyes were firm, and his tone was low and steady, "From now on, everything will follow my command. Trust me,
This case will be over soon, and as long as I am here, there will be no problems."
Xia Chen was suddenly stunned. She looked at the man in front of her intently. She had always known his resolute and resolute style of acting. In the legal world, Huo Tianhan was the authority that no one could challenge. Without him, he would fight
The only lawsuit he doesn't want to win is the one he doesn't want to take. Although it's a bit arrogant to say this, over the years, this is how he has let the world witness it all.
And when he said those words just now, she believed it too, but why did she feel uneasy in her heart?
Also, he has arranged everything securely. The only thing he has to do now is to find the child. From what he sounds like, he doesn't need anyone's intervention, including her. Does he want to go alone?
Subconsciously, Xia Chen frowned and said, "I have done enough preparations before the trial. There is no problem. I want to go find Mengmeng with you."
Huo Tianhan chuckled softly, "Xia Chen, remember, this is your first lawsuit, anyone can do it, but you can't make any mistakes. You should believe me. With the person Huo Tianhan wants to find, unless
He can make a big difference in this big Shanghai, otherwise, tomorrow morning, I will bring Mengmeng back with my own hands, and you just need to be mentally prepared to fight this lawsuit well."
"I believe Lawyer Huo."
Just when Xia Chen was about to say something, Pei Jun, who was being treated as a transparent person behind him, suddenly smiled and spoke.
Huo Tianhan turned around and gave him a look that only men could understand.
Xia Chen was speechless...
＊＊
At the beginning of the night, Xia Chen stayed in his apartment, his heart was so tight that he couldn't help it. The moonlight shone brightly in front of him under the night sky. Even though the night was so quiet that he didn't feel any burden, Xia Chen's heart was filled with tears.
No peace.
It wasn't because of tomorrow's lawsuit, or because she couldn't find Mengmeng. She always believed what Huo Tianhan said. What made her uneasy was He Jiaming's methods.
Sitting in front of the desk, no matter how she looked at the case, her mind was so confused that she couldn't concentrate. She didn't even know how she fell asleep, but when she woke up, it was already broad daylight outside.
…
After keeping watch all night, the difficult night was finally over, but only now did she realize that no one came in on the phone at hand, and there was no news from Huo Tianhan...
what does that mean?
Xia Chen's mind was a little blank, but the doorbell rang at this moment. She woke up with a start. She didn't even change her clothes, brush her teeth or wash her face. She ran out and opened the door. The first thing that came to her mind was that he was back.
"Huo Tianhan-Jie...sen?"
Jason appeared at the door of Xia Chen's apartment with a neat suit and a meticulous look. Seeing her like this, Jason burst out laughing, "Ms. Xia, I'm here to pick you up. The court session is in an hour, so we have to hurry up."
"Where is Huo Tianhan?" Xia Chen asked in a daze.
"Mr. Huo hasn't come back yet, but please rest assured. Based on my experience with Mr. Huo for so many years, he will be fine. The only thing Miss Xia has to do is what Mr. Huo said to you yesterday. You
The best support for him in case of failure is what Mr. Huo often said is that as long as it is not until the last moment, everything is possible."
Until the last moment, anything is possible...
Is this what he said?
Xia Chen thought about these words, and a smile gradually spread on her lips. Yes, she should believe him. Huo Tianhan was the man Xia Chen loved. She gave herself to him, whether now or for the long life to come.
Slowly raising the hand with the diamond ring on it, she kissed it deeply and secretly swore in her heart that no matter what, she would not let him down. All she had to do was to let the man she loved have no worries.
After regaining her composure, she came back to her senses and smiled lightly at Jason, "Assistant Sen, wait for me for five minutes, I'll be right back."
Jason also smiled, "No problem."

Shanghai Supreme People's Court.
I don't know who secretly got the news. At this moment, reporters from various media gathered at the entrance of the court. They all held up long guns and short cannons, stretching their necks, waiting for the first-hand news.
When Xia Chen rushed to the court, the reporters in front of her immediately swarmed over and surrounded her. Questions came one after another, which made her unable to cope with such a scene for the first time. Jason was by her side to protect her all the way.
she.
"Are you Lawyer Xia from HT? I heard that this is your first lawsuit in HT, and the case you are dealing with is the divorce case of the Shanghai He family. What is Lawyer Xia's opinion on this lawsuit?"
"Lawyer Xia, the He family's status in Shanghai is unshakable. The divorce case between Mr. He and his wife came suddenly. What do you think of this? Can you tell me how you felt when you took on this lawsuit? Do you want to?
Will I offend Mr. He and therefore not be able to gain a foothold in the legal profession?"
"Lawyer Xia, please say a few words..."
"Lawyer Xia..."
Faced with the reporters' sharp questions, Xia Chen didn't want to make any response, but just kept smiling and walked forward.
"Sorry everyone, the lawsuit has not started yet. Lawyer Shu Xia cannot comment. If you have any questions, we will give a thorough explanation after the lawsuit is over. I'm sorry, please give up..."
With a smile on his face, Jason escorted Xia Chen all the way. Then he rushed out of the crowd and arrived at the main entrance of the court. He happened to meet a group of people coming from the other side. The leader was one of the parties to the case, He Jiaming.
He was wearing a dark gray suit, with straight hair and high spirits. He was completely different from the embarrassed and sycophantic man that night. Xia Chen had to admit that this man's disguise method was not ordinary. He could
He must be well-dressed and meticulous in front of everyone, making everyone believe in his character and deeds, but in fact, hidden under this man's mask is the most hypocritical heart of a beast with a human face.
"Lawyer Xia, we met again, but I really miss that day. I really didn't expect that looking at you, who looks so thin, you actually have a figure that makes men breathe fire under your clothes. No wonder Huo Tianhan is fascinated by you.
"You have been going around a lot, but you were involved in a lawsuit just during your internship, haha..."
Xia Chen was not annoyed by the frivolity and sarcasm in He Jiaming's words. He just smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. He. You only saw my surface. I believe you will treat me even more in court later."
I’m impressed, do you believe it?”
Xia Chen's words with a calm expression made He Jiaming's smile freeze instantly on his face. The corner of his mouth sank, he stepped forward and whispered in her ear, "Really? Then let's go and see."
, let’s see if you, Xia Chen, win, or I, He Jiaming!”
As soon as he finished speaking, He Jiaming led a group of people inside first.
Xia Chen looked at his back, and the smile on his face finally disappeared, and he secretly sneered, "Shame!"
He turned around and said to Jason, "Have Wu Tong and Pei Jun arrived?"
"Here we are, waiting for us in the preparation room."
Xia Chen calmed down, adjusted his lawyer's robe, and then slowly walked in.
＊＊
Opening the door of the preparation room, Xia Chen saw two other people inside besides Wu Tong and Pei Jun, Xia Xuan and Huo Luheng.
She was a little surprised and a little flattered, "Why are you here?"
Xia Xuan raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Why can't I come? You are my sister. How can I not come to your first lawsuit? Besides, everyone in the business world knows how difficult He Jiaming is. I am Lu Heng.
I’m here to cheer you up.”
Huo Luheng also walked over with a smile, "Yes, Xia Chen, you can definitely do it."
Xia Chen couldn't help crying and laughing as she listened to their words. It seemed that everyone had full confidence in her. What if she lost the lawsuit? But in fact, only she knew in her heart that even if she was a hundred times more confident, Huo Tianhan
Without him, she was always a little worried...
But he still smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't embarrass you. My cousin is a top student in the legal and political circles and the most beautiful prosecutor. No matter what, I can't embarrass you."
Xia Xuan smiled, covered her ear and asked in a low voice, "When are you going to treat me to some wedding candy? I'm wearing a ring, so don't deny it."
Xia Chen was stunned, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she said with a hint of anger, "Xia Xuan, do you have to tease me at this time? It's not like you don't know how nervous I am, but... Weijie will not forget to inform you...
"
Xia Xuan and Huo Luheng looked at each other and smiled before letting her go.
Xia Chen turned back to Wu Tong and said to her, "Miss Wu, I know what you are worried about, but since you have entrusted the case to me, please trust me with all your strength, Mengmeng, and we will help you bring it back.
"
Wu Tong's face suddenly turned pale, "Lawyer Xia..."
"I understand, and I understand how you feel as a mother, but bad guys will always have their comeuppance. It's just a matter of time. Okay, get ready, we'll have a court hearing in five minutes."
Xia Chen patted Wu Tong's hand gently and smiled.
"Xia Chen, I believe in Lawyer Huo and I believe in you. Today I leave everything to you. I want to say that no matter what the outcome is after today, I will never regret telling everything. You gave me the courage to do it.
After today's decision, I no longer care about reputation or anything like that. If I can get rid of him, let alone reputation, it will be worth it even if it costs me my life."
Pei Jun came over at this moment, and when he said these words, there was a bitter smile on Jun's face.
Xia Chen felt a little sorry for this handsome man. She didn't know what else to say to comfort her. If it were her, she didn't know if she could do this. The only thing she could do in return for him was to win the lawsuit. Suddenly she realized
The pressure on myself is not a little bit.
And at this most important time, she missed him so much.
Huo Tianhan, where are you...
ps: There are about three chapters left before the extra chapter ends. Next, there will be an unexpected person appearing. He is definitely here to make trouble, but he will definitely come in handy at the critical moment. Guess who he is.
?I guess you can’t think of it, but he is definitely one of the male protagonists in Yan Ji’s books, hehe~~
