In the evening, Zhou Cishen was taking a shower in the bathroom. Ruan Xingwan had just drank milk and was getting ready to go to bed when he heard the doorbell ring.
She walked over to open the door and was a little surprised when she saw Shen Zixi standing at the door: "It's so late, why are you here?"
Shen Zixi said: "Where is Zhou Cishen?"
"He's taking a shower, do you have anything to do with him?"
"It's nothing. I came up to see you when I was passing by."
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
She smiled and said sideways: "Come in first."
Ruan Xingwan walked to the dining room and poured him a glass of water. Shen Zixi sat on the sofa and looked around. Seeing that there was nothing for children here, she asked, "Where is your son?"
"It's next door, already asleep."
Shen Zixi said "Oh".
Ruan Xingwan sat opposite him, looked at the band-aid on his forehead, and asked, "What's wrong with your head?"
Shen Zixi raised his hand and touched it: "It's okay, I bumped into it accidentally."
At this time, Zhou Cishen came from the bathroom, glanced at Shen Zixi, and approached with long legs: "What are you doing here?"
Ruan Xingwan yawned slightly and felt a little sleepy. She stood up and said, "You guys can talk, I'm going to sleep first."
Zhou Cishen said in a low voice: "Okay."
After Ruan Xingwan returned to the bedroom, Shen Zixi immediately said: "What on earth did you think that you sent two people to arrest Huai Xin?"
Zhou Cishen sat opposite him, crossing his legs: "So?"
Shen Zixi frowned: "Huai Xin has already attacked Lu Qingqing once, which means that he has been eyeing her for more than a day or two. If there is a first time, there will be a second time. She is in a very dangerous situation now.
"
"Since you are so worried about something happening to her, why did you come to me? Shouldn't you be with her?"
Shen Zixi was speechless for a moment. He opened his mouth to say something, but no sound came out.
Zhou Cishen stood up: "You want me to see you off?"
Shen Zixi: "..."
He then stood up and said: "Two people are really not enough. You also know how dangerous Huai Xin is. If anything happens to Qingqing all the way..."
Zhou Cishen glanced over and Shen Zixi immediately shut up.
Returning to the bedroom, he saw Ruan Xingwan still sitting on the bedside, Zhou Cishen said: "Still not asleep yet?"
Ruan Xingwan put down the draft book in his hand: "Shen Zixi is gone?"
"gone."
"He came here for Qingqing."
Zhou Cishen sat next to her, noncommittal.
Ruan Xingwan smiled: "So, you didn't tell him the truth."
Since Huai Xin was wanted to be captured, how could it be possible to send only two people?
Those two were just there to protect her safety.
If she guessed correctly, Jiang Yan had already brought people and placed them in a place where Lu Qingqing often went.
Zhou Cishen pinched her nose: "Very smart."
Ruan Xingwan said: "Okay, go to sleep, you have to go to the hospital to change your dressing tomorrow."
Lying on the bed, Zhou Cishen put his hand on her slightly bulging belly and whispered, "When will I feel it?"
"There's still some time left, four or five months, maybe five or six months later."
"Soon."
Ruan Xingwan gently held his hand, yes, it had only been a month or two.
Once this winter is over, the baby will be born in spring, even before summer begins.
After a while, Zhou Cishen's voice came: "Have you decided on a name?"
Ruan Xingwan shook his head: "I don't know yet whether it's a boy or a girl. We'll tell after the baby is born."
After a pause, Ruan Xingwan said again: "Otherwise, think about it, your idea will definitely sound better than mine."
Zhou Cishen laughed silently: "So humble?"
"I'm just giving you face. If you don't want to, forget it. I'll think about it myself."
Zhou Cishen pulled her into his arms and rested his chin on her forehead: "You can call me whatever you want. I just hope that you will be safe and stay by my side forever."
Ruan Xingwan said: "This is unlikely."
Zhou Cishen: "?"
Ruan Xingwan whispered: "The children will have their own lives when they grow up, and they will leave us sooner or later, so the only one who can stay by your side forever is me."
Hearing this, Zhou Cishen raised his eyebrows and hugged her tightly: "You are enough."
…
After Shen Zixi returned home, he went directly into the study. When he was sorting out the information on today's case, he found that some details were similar to several previous lawsuits, so he went to the bookshelf to look for information.
The bookshelf in the front is full of cases he has handled over the years.
Just as he was looking for the information he wanted one by one, his fingers suddenly stopped.
Lu Heng.
He pulled out the file.
Even though nearly ten years have passed and his memory of this case is a little blurry, the name Lu Heng is deeply etched in his mind.
Shen Zixi sat at the desk, flipping through Lu Heng's files, as if a door to memory had been opened.
Lu Heng is the treasurer of a company, he is honest and responsible, treats everyone kindly and greets everyone with a smile.
But no one expected that such a person would be accused one day of having an affair with the wife of the company boss and taking advantage of his position to embezzle tens of millions of public funds.
As soon as the news came out, everyone was upset. Most of his colleagues and neighbors scolded the whole family, saying they didn't expect him to be this kind of person, a wolf in sheep's clothing, hypocritical and hateful.
After the incident, Lu Heng asked for help everywhere and tried every possible means, but he had no power. Even all the lawyers he sought received letters from the company boss as soon as he left.
Big money.
At that time, Lu Heng was desperate. What awaited him was not only the huge debt that he could not afford to pay, but also the prospect of jail with no end in sight.
He once had the idea of committing suicide and dying to clarify his ambition.
Shen Zixi met him when he was about to commit suicide.
At that time, Shen Zixi had just graduated from college. She had taken on several cases and handled them very well. She was young and frivolous, high-spirited and full of passion.
After learning about Lu Heng's situation, he took the case despite the dissuasion of his seniors at the law firm.
Facts have proved that Shen Zixi's choice was correct. Lu Heng was innocent. The person who accused him was the wife of the company boss. It was because the company boss embezzled public funds that he came up with this method to find someone to take the blame.
Lu Heng, who was honest and had no backers, became the first choice.
Shen Zixi remembered that Lu Heng seemed to have a daughter who seemed young. When he was investigating and collecting evidence, she was wearing a school uniform and always looked at him from a distance, her eyes full of hostility and vigilance.
She felt like he would eliminate the collected evidence just like the other paid lawyers before.
Later, after the lawsuit was won, the little girl stood in front of him, putting away the hostility and vigilance in her eyes, and was full of gratitude.
She said: "Thank you, you are different from them."
Shen Zixi smiled nonchalantly and looked at the meal time: "Are you hungry? Brother, I'll treat you to a meal."
