My Wife is a Counsel

Chapter 107: Past and present life

Views:

Room 302 is Lu Ming’s exclusive suite here, and currently, Nicole is in it.

She had obviously bathed, probably for a very long time, so her hair was still wet. Since she had no suitable change of clothes, she wore the snow-white bathrobe provided by the hotel, and her crystal slippers, revealing her slender calves and her slightly raised feet painted with light green nail polish, which were full of lust and temptation, and her towering breasts. She was obviously not wearing any underwear, and her whole body was filled with sexiness.

When she saw Lu Ming coming in, she immediately bit her red lips and stared at Lu Ming. Her charming sapphire eyes showed a complicated expression, not sure whether it was anger or shame.

"What happened this morning is your fault!" Lu Ming was even more righteous.

Nicole was stunned.

"You know, if I didn't know you didn't do it on purpose, I could sue you for sexual harassment! Even if we were next to each other, why did you keep moving?" Lu Ming waved his hand, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Suddenly, seeing Nicole's discarded clothes in the trash can, Lu Ming frowned: "At least wash them before throwing them away. Besides, what could be on top? There are so many clothes!"

Nicole bit her red lips, "Yes, it's disgusting..."

Lu Ming glared, "Do you know that I am very weak and taking secret herbal medicine to nourish my body? I have several concubines at home who are much prettier than you, but I dare not touch them! Because the secret doctor said that it is the biggest taboo. As a result, you made me fail. My mind is still dizzy now. I am afraid that I will not be able to get out of bed tomorrow. Do you know that?"

“You, you are talking nonsense…” Nicole’s voice was childish, and now, it was really like she was quarreling with a child.

"Okay, let's stop talking about this. We are friends for life. From now on, don't mention who to blame for this trivial matter!" Lu Ming sighed, "Just think of it as my bad luck!"

Are you still unlucky? Nicole was so angry that she looked like she was about to cry. She looked at Lu Ming angrily, pouting and saying nothing.

"Well, I have already attributed this assassination to me, so don't tell anyone." Lu Ming pondered, "I will call a prosecutor to take your statement later, which will be regarded as your formal report on the disappearance of the little girl named Xiu'e."

When "Xiu'e" was mentioned, Nicole's pretty face darkened immediately and she fell silent. After a while, she said, "Thank you. Without you, I would have died."

Lu Ming waved his hand and said, "Did your assistant really drive the gossip media away?" He paused and said, "Yes, she also needs to check it out." He asked again, "When did you confirm your trip to the orphanage?"

Even if the premise is that Dean Wang is in contact with the radical organization at any time, the time from when Nicole went to the orphanage and was seen by Dean Wang, when Dean Wang began to notify the radical organization, to when his car turned around, was not too long. The other party was in a hurry and set up an ambush, so the timing was a bit inconsistent.

The most likely possibility is that the assistant or someone else who knew Nicole's schedule had leaked the secret long ago.

And these living people who are connected to radical organizations are the best clues.

"No, she, she wouldn't be like that..." Nicole shook her head desperately, obviously understanding what Lu Ming meant.

"She may not betray you, but maybe she accidentally leaked the information to some close friend! Well, I'm just guessing. Everything depends on the results of the investigation!"

"Knock, knock, knock" someone is knocking on the door.

It was Wang Xiaohu who came in with a tea tray, "Commissioner!"

Lu Ming was helpless, "You are also learning this trick. Besides, where is the waiter? Why did you take over?"

Wang Xiaohu stuttered and was unable to speak. He quickly brought the tea tray over and placed it on the tea table. There were some snacks and fruit plates on it.

He glanced secretly at Nicole, his face immediately turned red, he lowered his head, and dared not speak again.

Lu Ming smiled bitterly. This kid was probably planning to come in and ask for an autograph, but when faced with the big star he had been dreaming of, he immediately backed off.

"Okay, go get the waiter. I want to say something. Call a waitress, the youngest one."

“Yeah, yeah…” Wang Xiaohu agreed hurriedly, turned around and slipped away, not daring to look back.

When the waiter came, Lu Ming asked her to buy some clothes including underwear, but after thinking about it, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it." He said to Nicole, "I'll ask my servant to buy some better ones. My old maid is very careful and loyal."

After all, when you buy clothes for big stars to wear, you don't know anything about them and who knows if they will do anything perverted inside the clothes. Not to mention men, even if women buy them, who knows if they will spit out envy, jealousy and hatred

After saying that, Lu Ming dialed the number and asked Er Niang to go shopping for clothes. Of course, if Luo Yi and others were brought along, they would have better taste.

After Lu Ming hung up the phone, Nicole said softly, "Thank you, you are very considerate. I heard from them that your last name is Lu?"

Lu Ming nodded: "Just call me Brother Lu from now on."

Nicole was stunned again. She had never seen such a confident man in front of her. Even the old Mr. Renault, who had ulterior motives, lied and coaxed her. One moment he said he wanted to treat her as his daughter, and a few days later, he would look at her with dazed eyes, showing reluctance and pain.

“Brother Lu…” Nicole called softly. Somehow, she felt warm in her heart.

She had a brother, but he always treated her as a cash cow and only knew how to ask her for money to spend. But the young man in front of her, for the first time, made her feel like she had a brother she could rely on.

Although it has been less than twelve hours since I met him, it still makes me feel this way. It's amazing.

Maybe it was because of what he said, that they had crossed paths in life? They had faced possible death together.

Although he seems a bit of a rogue.

It's like I'm taking advantage of him by making excuses.

Thinking of that embarrassing situation, Nicole's pretty face heated up again.

"Brother Lu, what do you think I should do in the future?" Nicole sighed softly.

"Aren't you planning to not renew your contract with Renault? Come to Nadu. I am one of the owners of Nadu Pictures." Lu Ming said with a smile.

Nicole was stunned, and suddenly felt a little disappointed. So, this is how it was.

"Don't worry, I won't let you go the sexy goddess route anymore..." Lu Ming pondered, "I'm planning to shoot a TV series. I'll shoot twelve episodes from this year to the middle of next year. There's a captain role in it. It was originally a male captain. If you join, it wouldn't be bad to change it to a female captain. You'll be one of the protagonists throughout the series."

In fact, think about it, for a female captain, it would be more impactful to go for the sexy route. After all, I don’t want to shoot a classic, I just want box office success.

The best is to appeal to both the elite and the masses.

"But, Brother Lu, although my contract has expired, there are restrictions in the contract. If I don't renew my contract with Renault, I will not be allowed to work in the film and television industry for 30 years. So, I didn't renew my contract and planned to retire from the film industry."

Oh? Lu Ming nodded. No wonder Old Renault didn't sign a lifetime contract with Nicole. After all, the conditions were too harsh. When Nicole became famous, she might go to court and declare that such an extremely harsh contract was invalid.

Therefore, the contract signed was in the form of a five-year renewal, but with restrictions similar to a non-compete clause.

"It's okay, just wait for him to sue. I believe that before the lawsuit is over, Renault will be too busy to bother you!" Lu Ming smiled.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Don't worry. I will find you a safe place to live, close to the company, and I will find someone to protect you. Things like today will not happen again."

Nicole nodded gently. Although she really wanted to take a break for a while, she couldn't refuse. Although, she just got a very messy brother out of nowhere.

"Oh, that's right. You might want to take a break for a while now. Besides, we haven't even discussed the conditions with Nadu yet. Why are you nodding? You're such a silly girl." Lu Ming laughed.

Nicole was stunned for a moment, then smiled shyly. She felt like a little girl who was being cared for. She hadn't felt this way for a very long time.

Lu Ming pondered and said, "Well, you don't have an agent either, and agents aren't popular nowadays." He paused, "How about this, you take a look at the script first and see if you want to film it. If you do, we can discuss the terms. I won't negotiate with you, but I will tell them that they won't treat you unfairly. Moreover, I believe this series will help you reach greater heights."

"Okay!" Nicole agreed, and suddenly, she felt looking forward to seeing the script.

Although this guy in front of me is a mess, I just have a feeling that he won't lie to me.

Hearing her clear agreement, Lu Ming felt amused. This childish voice was just like that of an obedient primary school student. For a moment, he even wanted to pinch her cheek.

She is obviously an extremely hot beauty, but she gives people the feeling of a child who needs care.

After a pause, he said, "And Xiu'e! I think you have already prepared for the worst, but if you want a result, don't worry, I will get to the bottom of it and bring the murderer to justice."

Nicole's pretty face immediately darkened, she fell silent, and nodded slightly.

Coming out of 302, Lu Ming saw Jordan waiting outside. He said helplessly, "Wait a few days. I'll ask her to get some private photos and autographs for you guys!"

"Ah, thank you, Commissioner!" Jordan was immediately overjoyed. He looked at the door of the room and asked carefully, "Commissioner, she won't change her mind after she goes back, right? Now she feels that she is under our protection, but when she returns to her own territory, will she still recognize who we are?"

Lu Ming frowned: "Since she is so unrefined, why are you still obsessed with her?"

"That can't be helped!" Jordan coughed, "I waited for you because I had a work report, not to stand outside her door for a long time..."

It was a bit too obvious, Lu Ming waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about work."

Jordan's face turned serious. He opened the folder in his hand and said, "Look, these are the five assistant prosecutors who will report in later. The fifth one, the one at the bottom, will be your assistant temporarily. She has just entered the Supreme Procuratorate and is from another place. She just came to Donghai today and reported to the Supreme Procuratorate. She is a woman, so it is not suitable for her to do such a dangerous job. It just so happens that you don't have an assistant yet."

Lu Ming nodded. His assistant actually means secretary.

I took it and flipped through it casually. The new recruits were all relatively young assistant prosecutors.

This is good, as it is more aggressive and does not break the constraints of complex social relations. It is like a blank sheet of paper, so there is no possibility of tipping off criminals.

But what’s strange is that looking at their resumes, they are all prosecutors from other places.

"Oh, the Xinjingzhou training class?" Lu Ming was stunned, then he noticed that these people were all from this training class.

"Well, this class just ended. It was held by our Donghai Procuratorate in Xinjingzhou. They recruited outstanding young prosecutors from all over the empire to come to Donghai. They had to be under 25 years old. According to General McKen's new policy, the training class will only allow the top 10% of students to graduate. They were all elites from other places. After selecting the best students, it can be said that they are all elites among the young people. General McKen plans to hold it every three years. This is the first class. There are 150 students in the class, and 15 of them passed. They just came to Donghai today and reported to the Procuratorate. They are all from other places, but we can't look down on them, right? General McKen gave us five people. It is to examine and train them. It also shows that he values us very much."

Lu Ming smiled bitterly and thought that big cities are good because they can attract all kinds of talents. From a certain perspective, Donghai is more attractive than the imperial capital because of its freedom and openness. The political atmosphere in the imperial capital is too strong and too oppressive.

Flipping through the pages, he came to the fifth one, a female assistant prosecutor who was going to be his secretary.

Suddenly, Lu Ming was stunned and opened his eyes wide, but soon he restrained his expression.

But Jordan still noticed it and smiled, "Yeah, it's pretty."

Lu Ming nodded. Jordan was no simple character. He immediately noticed that his expression was not right. However, he thought about other things, so it was okay.

But, how could that be

It's in the form of a simple table, with photos attached.

Name: Han Annie.

In the photo, she has long hair that reaches her eyebrows, big watery eyes, a delicate and beautiful face, and looks very heroic. Isn't this the Han Annie that I know

And it was Han Annie, whom he knew in both past and present lives.

According to her resume, she went to the provincial procuratorate one month after she left. Three months ago, she was admitted to the training course opened by the Donghai Procuratorate in Xinjingzhou.

Those who participated in this class, regardless of whether they were formal prosecutors in other places or something else, would start as assistant prosecutors when they came to Donghai after graduation. As for the prosecutor certificates from the four northern provinces, they were not recognized at all.

This? Han Anni is here to be my secretary

Lu Ming rubbed his nose and smiled bitterly. She was not afraid of revealing her whereabouts, but she just felt it was very weird.

Shaking his head, Lu Ming looked towards the north outside the floor-to-ceiling window. In the evening, the north was foggy and a bit gloomy for some reason.

I suddenly felt homesick, both my home in my previous life and my home in this life.

Jinbao, Uncle Zhong, are they all okay

Mom and Dad, how are you
