Ke Jin's situation came too suddenly, and the interns of Locke and the others saw it for the first time, and were stunned for a while, not knowing what to do.
Gu Yan and his classmates responded quickly, obviously not the first to respond to this situation.
Several people hugged, pulled and pulled, and one directly covered Ke Jin's head, isolating him from the tombstone. However, Ke Jin was unconscious, completely immersed in his own world, and continued to bang his head against the palm of the classmate. The curse-like chanting in his mouth never stopped.
"Hey, it's okay, it's okay." Laura kept patting Ke Jin's back while comforting: "It's all over, it's okay, it has nothing to do with you."
Locke and the others were at a loss, "What's the situation? This... what's wrong? "
"Ah." Phyllida exclaimed in a low voice, "I remember, I heard before that there was a senior who was many years older than us, because of a mental problem in a case... "
At the beginning, Ke Jin's story was widely circulated in the circle. After all, he had outstanding performance among young lawyers before that, and his reputation was not small.
His peers' evaluations of him are inconsistent. Some people think that he is very dedicated and gentle, and he is a good friend and a worthy opponent.
Others think that he is "too deep into the play", that he is too emotional, and has deep empathy for both the parties and the victims in the case, which is actually not suitable for this line of work.
When I was studying, someone commented on this. At the beginning, Ke Jin had just entered school, and he still carried the unique greenness and confusion of students.
Because of this evaluation, he talked to Yan Suizhi.
At that time, Yan Suizhi looked at him calmly and said, "This is actually a very precious quality..."
"You are very kind. If one day, you have a conflict with other people or get into any trouble because of your kindness, it will never be kindness or fault."
"But professor..." At that time, Ke Jin was sitting on the soft reception sofa in the dean's office and sipping a sip of the black tea that Yan Suizhi handed to him. "Outside" title page, saying that in this line of work, a lot of times are dealing with the devil in hell."
"Of course you have, but that doesn't mean you have to turn yourself into a devil." Yan Suizhi raised an eyebrow and put the teaspoon in the cup and plate, "You need to be familiar with their way of thinking, but you don't have to be a They. For so long, you might not look like a good guy, but you know, you'll never be them."
Young people are easily depressed, but also easily encouraged.
At that time, Ke Jin looked a little relieved. He drank a few sips of black tea silently, and finally asked: "Then do you think I am suitable for this profession?"
Yan Suizhi didn't answer directly, but asked him, "Do you want to do this?"
Ke Jin: "I want to."
"Do you have some kind of original intention in doing this business?"
"have."
Yan Suizhi smiled and said, "Then go for it."
Ke Jin held the cup and plate and smiled relaxedly.
At the end of the chat, Gu Yan happened to come to the office to ask Yan Suizhi to approve a research document. At that time, Ke Jin's character was still a little shy, and he didn't like to expose his inner thoughts to other people. So after Gu Yan arrived, he just said a few words and left.
But it can be seen that Ke Jin has been a lot firmer since then, and has no longer doubted himself.
That conversation may have been an important motivator for him to stick to his career as a lawyer after graduation.
But some things are easy to talk about, but actually difficult to do. There are too many uncontrollable factors, especially emotions and psychology.
A person like Ke Jin who is kind and soft "too deep into the play", if his original intention or goal is shaken for a moment, it is too easy to fall into a situation of extreme contradiction and tearing.
He encountered a case two years ago. The many loopholes and some evidence collected made him have great trust in his client, believing that the other party was innocent, and the other party also behaved like a person who accidentally fell into the mud Among the innocents in the swamp, only Ke Jin is a life-saving straw.
He pleaded not guilty, and the jury ended up making the same choice.
Another innocent person was able to avenge Zhaoxue, and this kind of thing made the gentle Ke Jin happy for many days.
As a result, three months later, he inadvertently discovered some new traces, which was enough to prove that he had made a major mistake in judgment. The client was not innocent at all, and even more dangerous and vicious than the prosecution accused.
At that time, when the evidence was resubmitted to the police, the person involved was already at large, and has not been found so far.
If it is an old fritter who can "talk and laugh with the devil", he may be annoyed for a moment about this kind of thing, and then find a way to mediate in it to avoid damage to his reputation. Those influences would soon fade away, and they would re-invest in higher-cost cases and fancier receptions, and even frame it as some sort of talk and laugh it off.
But Ke Jin is not such a person.
His character destined him to be entangled in his own misjudgment for a long time, blamed and annoyed, and struggled constantly in contradictions.
The truth was even worse—he spent two months of repression in extreme self-doubt and self-loathing, and eventually had a mental breakdown.
At first, his spirit was not so disordered, but one day it suddenly became serious.
It's hard to say exactly what aggravated his condition, but the most widespread rumor is that Lee Connor, the client at large, suddenly sent him a "thank you message", which was the straw that broke the camel's back. .
After serious mental problems, Ke Jin stayed in the hospital for a week before being taken away by a friend. It's been a long time since he appeared again. In the last half year, his condition is slightly better, and he can only come out occasionally.
That friend Yan Suizhi had a bit of an impression. When they were in law school, apart from these classmates who came to visit the grave, Gu Yan and Ke Jin also had a good relationship.
It's just that the other party is not from the law school, but from the business school next door, a famous second-generation ancestor of hedonism, named Joe.
Many people wondered how Gu Yan would become friends with such a person, it was too inappropriate.
Yan Suizhi didn't know either, but he didn't pay attention to these things either. It was only after a few contacts that the person was also listed in the entry of "little fool" in Professor Yan Da's dictionary.
…
Phyllida reminded several other interns.
However, they weren't the kind of people who talked nonsense regardless of the occasion. They just exchanged a few sentences about Ke Jin, and then ran over to help.
Yan Suizhi no longer leaned against the tree, but strode over, the smile on his face disappeared.
In fact, for a long time after hearing about Ke Jin's accident, he would think of the scene of the chat from time to time.
He didn't regret what he said to Ke Jin, and he never regretted what he did. However, he regretted that he only thought of encouragement at that time, and did not remind Ke Jin more.
For Ke Jin, he has a subtle and shallow apology.
"Need help?"
"It's okay, no, we have experience." Gu Yan's classmates surrounded Ke Jin and kept comforting him. It is true that there is no chance for Yan Suizhi and other strangers to intervene.
It's just that besides them, there is another person standing outside the crowd—
It was none other than Gu Yan.
Gu Yan was obviously not good at comforting people, but he stood aside and did not stand by, but simply dialed out a communication.
The opposite side seemed to be connected very quickly. Gu Yan glanced at Ke Jin in the crowd, barely giving him a chance to speak, and said directly: "Ke Jin is emotionally unstable, I will open a holographic communication for you."
The next second, the holographic screen of Gu Yan's smartphone unfolded, and through the screen, a young man's face could be seen. Short blond hair with a slightly longer forehead, which was arrogantly caught with hair wax.
You don't even need to see the facial features, just by that style, Yan Suizhi can recognize it as that Joe.
Gu Yan directly adjusted the holographic screen in front of Ke Jin. Qiao's voice came through the screen and comforted Ke Jin: "Shh, shh - look at me, Ke Jin, look at me. It's okay, there's nothing. I told you not to leave alone, but you secretly went back to Decama without saying a word to me. Look, I'm gone for two days, and you won't feel better, right? I'll say you too, Gu too, When the jar is stuffy, someone has to be by the side to give you a seam..."
Joe's way of appeasement is different from other people's. He doesn't have that cautious feeling at all. Instead, he talks to Ke Jin in the most relaxed and natural tone like a chat, and even brings some half-truth complaints. As if the other party was listening.
He spoke for about a minute, and Ke Jin finally heard his words slowly, bumped his forehead against someone else's palm and stopped slowly, looking up at the holographic screen.
After another moment, his eyes finally focused.
Qiao in the holographic screen saw that he had responded, and knew that this time the comfort was effective again, and Ke Jin was returning to normal. So he breathed a sigh of relief and gave Gu Yan another look.
Gu Yan adjusted the holographic screen closer to Ke Jin, and a few classmates who were holding him tried to slowly let go.
"...One more thing to report to you, I'm on the shuttle now, and I have twenty minutes to land at the port of Decama."
Ke Jin was quiet for a long time, and finally had another reaction. His eyes moved with Qiao's movements, but he was still a little dazed.
Gu Yan on the side asked for him, "Why are you rushing to Decama at this time?"
Qiao didn't rush back to him at first, but looked at Ke Jin carefully to confirm that he had completely relaxed, and then tried to tease Ke Jin while replying to Gu Yan, "You are running out of time, Ke Jin ran away again. , Laura and the others are accomplices. One of me, who wants to hold a party, was left unattended on Yaba Island by you, so what else can I do? Of course, I will invite you back in person. "
Forty minutes later, the second ancestor, who said that wind is rain, went straight to the cemetery from Decama's private port. The young master didn't know where he kidnapped the doctor, and protected Ke Jin into the RV. At the same time, he dragged all the classmates into the car without landing, including Gu Yan.
After all, Gu Yan had promised him that he would spare No. 3 for the appointment.
Ke Jinwo sat in the car and stared out of the car in a daze, the window was not rolled up, in case the environment was too closed and he panicked again.
His eyes turned a little slowly, and he slowly swept across the gate of the cemetery, Qingteng, and finally landed on Yan Suizhi on the side of the road.
Yan Suizhi looked at him, and after a while, he realized that he was frowning slightly from the picture in half of the car window.
He relaxed his eyebrows and was about to turn his eyes away, but as soon as he raised his head, he met Gu Yan's gaze.
Gu Yan was about to get into the car for a while, and seemed a little hesitant. After two seconds, he patted Joe on the shoulder and said, "Let's discuss something."
