Chapter 291: Only One Chance
It was the first time for Gu Nianzhi to defend in court, so of course he didn't want to confront a big guy like He Zhichu.
She was very worried that the Bai family would hire He Zhichu as a defense lawyer...
If He Zhichu really became the defense lawyer of the Bai family, Gu Nianzhi would have to find another way. She felt that she still couldn't compete with He Zhichu in court for the time being.
Fortunately, He Zhichu didn't give her this problem, so Gu Nianzhi smiled happily.
After signing, He Zhichu faxed a copy of the document to the Ministry of Justice for filing.
This completes the entire procedure.
Gu Nianzhi picked up his endorsement document and kissed it, and said happily, "I'm also a practicing lawyer!"
"...Temporarily, you are just a temporary worker." He Zhichu raised his eyebrows, mercilessly breaking Gu Nianzhi's joy.
Gu Nianzhi didn't take it seriously, put the endorsement documents into his backpack, and said with a smile, "Even if it's temporary, it's fine. ——Professor He, I don't have to fight against you, I'm really happy!"
He Zhichu twitched the corners of his lips speechlessly, knowing what she was happy about, but he still reminded her: "Actually, you don't need to be afraid of me. There are many powerful lawyers in the Huaxia Empire. With the background of the Bai family, just invite any one out of the mountain. You It is not easy for a fledgling rookie to defeat them, even with the support of Major General Huo."
It's not that the Bai family has never approached his law firm in the United States, but He Zhichu refused because he didn't want to get involved in the internal strife of the Chinese Empire.
Unexpectedly, it was Gu Nianzhi who broke the merits in the end.
He Zhichu deliberately didn't think about his "returning to promises", nor how to deal with those partners in the United States.
What he decides never changes, except for his consideration.
Gu Nianzhi didn't know the impact of her request on He Zhichu, she took out her preparation notes from her backpack with great interest, printed out a thick stack of A4 paper, "Professor He, this is what I made about Can you help me with the homework of that case?"
He Zhichu didn't look at her preparation notes, narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly, looked at her meaningfully, and said, "Nianzhi, this is a good opportunity to exercise, in order to make you feel more challenging and difficult. If it's bigger, I won't be involved. I will watch your performance carefully, find out where you need to improve and tell you. But until then, it's completely up to you to open the situation."
Gu Nianzhi froze for a moment, then took back the notes he had prepared, and slowly put them back into his backpack.
Glancing at Gu Nianzhi's disappointed expression, He Zhichu looked away, and said coldly, "What you are about to face is not a moot court, nor is it a debate assignment, but a real battle with the defendant's lawyer in court. , do you still want me to go through every debate for you first?"
"Of course not..." Gu Nianzhi bit his lips, "I don't want Professor He to help me with this, but there is almost no evidence in this case, and it has been involved for ten years. I... I I don't know if I've found the right direction..."
If the direction is wrong at the beginning, then no matter how hard she tries, she will not be able to reach the end.
He Zhichu pursed his lips, and stretched out his hand to Gu Nianzhi: "Here."
"what?"
"Your notes? Let me take a look." He Zhichu said impatiently, "Hurry up, I have limited time."
Gu Nianzhi felt that her self-esteem was hurt. She shook her head stubbornly: "No need, Professor He, what you said just now was very good. Indeed, I can't make progress and rely on you." Then she stood up and asked He Zhichu Bow: "Professor He is bothering you, please leave."
He Zhichu didn't speak, he sat on the computer chair and looked up at Gu Nianzhi. His eyes were unpredictable and his face was ugly, but he didn't call out to stop her.
It wasn't until Gu Nianzhi walked to the door of the study that He Zhichu pressed a hidden button under the desk.
The door of the study was locked with a bang.
As soon as Gu Nianzhi put his hand on the lock, he knew something was wrong.
She twisted the door lock and couldn't turn it left or right, so she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
He looked up at the roof and stared at it for a while, calming down his restless mood.
When she calmed down completely, Gu Nianzhi turned to look at He Zhichu and said, "Professor He, please open the door."
"I said I need to read your preparation notes. If you don't show it to me, you won't be able to leave the door today." He Zhichu sat back in the chair, with his hands slightly folded in front of his chest, his eyes were firm and unquestionable .
Gu Nianzhi hugged his backpack and said stubbornly: "You have already rejected it just now. There is only one chance, and you won't wait until it expires."
When Gu Nianzhi said this, he had no other meaning at all, but to He Zhichu's ears, it was like a nuclear bomb that exploded in his head, and a mushroom cloud rose up all over the sky...
His face changed abruptly, and the end of his eyes was quickly stained with red. He rushed over from behind the desk and strode forward. Almost instantly, he came to Gu Nianzhi, stretched out his hand, and grabbed Gu Nianzhi's mouth. Neck: "What did you say?! Say it again!"
Gu Nianzhi's stubbornness really came up, she threw away the backpack in her hand, quickly held He Zhichu's hand that was strangling her neck, and twisted and released it with the small grasping hand she learned in the Special Operations Division, but she couldn't release it. He Zhichu's hand broke away.
He Zhichu was in a state of rage, and when he realized that Gu Nianzhi actually wanted to break free from his shackles, he became even angrier. There was a buzzing sound in his head, and mist filled his eyes.
He heard his own voice squeeze out between his teeth, and asked her depressingly: "...Why is there only one chance, why didn't you wait after it expired?! I couldn't find you...it's not my fault...I've been looking for you for so many years !"
His voice was clear and condensed, like a piece of ice, but his heart was hot and angry.
Gu Nianzhi struggled desperately, He Zhichu did not hesitate to pinch her hands together behind her back, and wrapped his other hand around the back of her neck to choke her tightly, looking at her with unsteady breath, There was ice-cold despair in Yan's peach blossom eyes.
Gu Nianzhi was really frightened at this moment. She struggled with all her strength, but He Zhichu pressed her hard on the back of the door and couldn't move.
Unexpectedly, He Zhichu, who looked tall and elegant, became angry with such explosive force.
His arms were strong and strong, pressing her shoulders tightly against the door of the study.
The corners of He Zhichu's eyes were red, and his whole body was exuding anger. He just grabbed her by the back of the neck firmly, looked down at her, his expression was cold, but his eyes were extremely hot, like ice and fire coming together.
Gu Nianzhi finally broke down and cried, "...let go of me...Professor He...please...let go of me..."
She shook her head desperately, tears rolling down her cheeks quickly.
He Zhichu looked at her intently, seeing the tears on her face, her terrified expression, and her hoarse screams, like a rope, restraining him so that he couldn't move a single step...
Maintaining the posture of pinching the back of Gu Nian's neck without moving, he just stopped at an arm's length away, unable to cross it again.
Gu Nianzhi cried so hard that his whole body was shaking.
At this moment she was really scared.
Never thought that the refined and elegant He Zhichu would look like this when he was furious...
I don't know how long it took, He Zhichu finally took a deep breath, let go of the hand that pinched Gu Nian's head, put it on her back, slowly comforted her up and down, and said in a hoarse voice: "Nianzhi, I'm sorry, I... recognized the wrong person..."
Gu Nianzhi cried and trembled all over, choked up and said: "Admitting the wrong person?! Can you do this by admitting the wrong person? The devil will believe you! - Get out! Get out! I want...I want to sue you for harassing my students!"
He Zhichu let go of her hands dejectedly, turned around and left, his tall back was extremely lonely and desolate.
He went back to the sofa in the middle of the study and sat down, looked at the fruit bowl on the coffee table, and said lightly: "If you want to sue, you can sue. I won't refute it. You can punish me as you like. Don't worry, I will argue. In one word, I died here at the beginning of my life."
Gu Nianzhi has always been soft and not tough, if He Zhichu made excuses to make excuses, Gu Nianzhi would definitely fight him to the end.
But looking at his dejected and unrefuted attitude, he didn't know how to continue.
She picked up her backpack from the ground and hugged it to her chest, sobbing, "Professor He, please open the door, I want to go out."
He Zhichu didn't intend to open the door, and pointed to the sofa opposite him, his clear and indifferent voice became hoarse: "Nianzhi, sit with me for a while, okay?"
