Chapter 780 The Most Reasonable Person
Chapter 780 The Most Reasonable Person
"Boom——!"
The weather in Whale Harbor changed suddenly. Ink-black clouds swallowed up the entire starry sky without any warning. Thunder and lightning tore through the sky, shaking the glass windows slightly.
Jiang Huashan shuddered at the thunder and stood up and walked to the window. Before her fingertips touched the curtains, bean-sized raindrops slammed against the glass, splashing a cold spray.
She gently wiped away the raindrops that splashed on the tip of her nose, and looked up. In the distance, thousands of lights were blurred in the rain. The night view of the entire city had been soaked by the rain, blurring into a misty sea of light.
"Ding-dong-"
At this moment, the mobile phone on the coffee table suddenly lit up, a cold light cut through the darkness, and an anonymous email notification popped up.
Jiang Huashan's thoughts were suddenly interrupted. She closed the window, turned around and was about to pick up her phone, but her movements froze for a moment.
"Knock Knock-"
Su Yun's voice happened to sound outside the door, soft but with a hint of hesitation: "Hello, is it convenient for me to come in now?"
Jiang Huashan glanced at the "anonymous sender" on the screen and frowned slightly.
Could it be that psychopath Zhou Yanheng again?
She pressed the lock screen button without hesitation, plunging the room into darkness again: "The door is not locked, come in."
The door was gently pushed open, and Su Yun stood at the door. Her eyes wandered around the room for a moment before she slowly walked in.
"Are you busy?" she asked softly, her eyes falling on the case file that Jiang Huashan was sorting.
Jiang Huashan sorted out the last pile of documents and raised her eyes with a faint smile on her lips: "Nothing important. Do you want to talk to me about something?"
Su Yun was silent for a moment, then carefully chose a single sofa to sit on. The warm yellow light highlighted her bright features, and the crimson at the corners of her eyes was clearly from recent crying.
"I just watched your live broadcast," she said slowly, her voice a little deeper than usual. "Ms. Jiang, are you really... willing to defend Ah Sheng?"
Seeing Jiang Huashan raise an eyebrow, she hurriedly added, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not doubting your intentions, but...will this cause you too much trouble? After all..."
Before she finished her words, Jiang Huashan had already understood the hidden meaning. She leaned forward slightly, her eyes sharp, and her voice clear and firm: "I am never afraid of trouble when it comes to doing what is right. I am even less afraid of trouble from the Shen family."
Su Yun froze in place. In the ten or so seconds they stared at each other, all she could hear was the rhythm of raindrops hitting the glass and the intertwining sounds of their breathing.
After a moment, Su Yunxian lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, I'm narrow-minded."
After she finished speaking, she immediately raised her head again, this time with a more resolute look in her eyes, "Miss Jiang, is there anything I can do?" As if she was afraid that Jiang Huashan would refuse, she deliberately added, "Anything is fine. Please trust me and let me participate."
Jiang Huashan couldn't help but look at Su Yun again. Although Su Yun was not in her previous plan, having an extra helper is never a bad thing.
Thinking of this, she nodded and said, "Okay. Then please come to the hospital more often when you are free, Miss Su. I may be very busy in the coming time, so Yu Sheng's safety is in your hands."
Su Yun wasn't a clueless novice. Yu Siwen could even frame his own daughter, so killing her would be even easier for him. Jiang Huashan didn't need her to protect him, but the Su family.
At this moment, she represents the Su family.
"Okay, I'll keep watch over her." Su Yun agreed solemnly, her expression serious. "Anything else?"
Jiang Huashan stood up and said, "To accuse a senior official of the country, the judicial process must go through the National Court. If possible, please ask Uncle Su to delay the filing of the case."
Su Yun thought for a moment, then stood up. "Grandpa has already promised me that he'll stand on the side of justice this time. If delaying the case will help Ah Sheng, the Su family will certainly not shirk responsibility. But there's one thing I'm afraid will be a big problem..."
"I know." Jiang Huashan smiled and picked up her briefcase seriously, "That's why I'll be very busy next."
"Knock Knock-"
Before Su Yun could react, there was another knock on the door. Su Yun turned around and was caught off guard by a pair of eyes that looked like deep pools.
When she came in, she was worried that Yu Sheng would wake up in the middle of the night, so she deliberately did not close the door tightly. She did not expect Shen Lanxi to appear suddenly.
Su Yun's breathing barely registers for a moment. The light flickers across her eyes, which suddenly light up and then fade away, like a fleeting shooting star in the night sky.
Shen Lanxi stood outside the door, wearing a black suit with smooth shoulders without a single wrinkle. His gaze didn't linger on Su Yun's face for a moment, but passed directly past her and cast towards Jiang Huashan, who seemed to be watching the show.
His eyes grew colder, like jade immersed in ice water. "The hospitalization procedures have been completed. Grandpa called several times to urge us to go home."
Every word was clear and calm, yet it was like an invisible barrier, isolating Su Yun from the outside.
"Ah?" Jiang Huashan had already noticed Su Yun's subtle changes and nodded quickly, "That's great. I should go back and prepare the ingredients."
She turned to Su Yun and said in a softer tone, "I'll trouble you with Yu Sheng."
Su Yun lowered her eyes, her thick lashes masking all her emotions. When she looked up again, she had regained her proper smile. "Don't worry." She stepped aside to make way and whispered, "Miss Jiang, if you need anything from me regarding Ah Sheng, please feel free to ask."
Jiang Huashan didn't expect her to be so loyal to Yu Sheng. She nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't be polite."
From beginning to end, Shen Lanxi seemed like an outsider. It was not until Jiang Huashan and Su Yun passed by that he opened the door and stretched out his hand to Jiang Huashan. Naturally, he wanted to take the briefcase from her hand: "It's raining heavily. The car is parked on the basement floor. Let's go."
"Hey!" Jiang Huashan raised his hand quickly, his eyes darting to Su Yun before returning to their original position. "There's some very important information in here, I'll take it myself."
Shen Lanxi's fingertips froze in the air a second before touching Jiang Huashan's wrist. After a brief pause, he withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened and said lightly, "Okay."
*
The rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, hitting the glass with a crackling sound, as if the whole corridor was shaking.
Jiang Huashan was holding a briefcase and glanced at Shen Lanxi several times out of the corner of his eyes.
The cold and hard profile, the thin lips pursed into a straight line, the slightly furrowed brows, all of these turned into expressions of "impatience" in her eyes.
Jiang Huashan pursed her lips with a gloomy look on her face. "Actually, if you don't want to send me back, I can go back by myself."
Shen Lanxi's footsteps suddenly stopped. He turned his head, and at that moment, a pale lightning split the night sky, illuminating his handsome yet cold silhouette like a dark Shura, dangerous and unpredictable.
"I don't want to send you off?"
This is a very typical question sentence, but when it fell into the ears of Jiang Huashan, who had an eight-fold filter for Shen Lanxi, it became a statement that could not be more certain.
Don’t want to send it back?!
Jiang Huashan didn't tolerate him either. His face darkened and he spoke as fast as falling raindrops. "If you don't want to send it, don't send it. Did I ask you to send it? Did I beg you to send it? And Shen Lanxi, I'm warning you, I don't care what you want to do to attract Su Yun's attention, but don't try to use me!"
She saw it clearly in the ward just now. In order to make Su Yun jealous, this bastard actually resorted to all means to carry her bag.
When he was in school, he felt embarrassed to carry a schoolbag. Why doesn’t he feel embarrassed now?
Shen Lanxi didn't understand why she exploded after just two sentences. She tried to soften her tone and said, "Miss Su and I have nothing to do with each other. This is between you and me. Let's not talk about others."
"Ha~" Jiang Huashan laughed out of anger. The mountain of prejudice had wiped out her rationality. "You can't even say a word? Fine!"
When you're done, turn around and leave.
"..." Shen Lanxi pinched her brows, having no idea what to do. She followed her to explain, "Jiang Huashan, please be reasonable."
Jiang Huashan shook his hand away, turned around and tapped Shen Lanxi's shoulder, "Shen Lanxi, you have to understand, everyone in Country A knows that I, Lawyer Jiang, am the most reasonable person!"
"you……"
"Pfft!"
Shen Lanxi was about to speak when she was suddenly interrupted by a casual laugh.
They were both stunned at the same time and looked in the direction of the sound.
Amidst the raging storm outside the inpatient corridor, a tall figure suddenly appeared. He held a massive, pure black umbrella, tilted so that most of his face was obscured. Only the hand gripping the handle was visible, his knuckles clearly visible.
Seeing that he had finally attracted their attention, he slowly raised the brim of his umbrella, revealing a pair of unruly almond-shaped eyes.
"That's right, Shen Lanxi, you have to understand! Our lawyer Xiao Jiang is the most reasonable person in the world!"
