The long street is lined with shops and bustling with people. There are many accents from other places, but very few Wuan local accents.
Lu Ming, Han Anni and Xue Zihan walked slowly among them.
Han Annie liked little sister Xue Zihan very much, so she played the role of a good host and acted as a guide to take her around, but she didn't expect that "Commissioner Zhang" would also come along.
Looking at the two-story building in front of him, "Lu's Department Store", Lu Ming stopped.
This is the only property left by his family in Wuan County, and Lu Zhong manages it quite well.
Han Annie looked at "Commissioner Zhang" staring at the department store with a complicated look and nodded slightly: "It seems that you know that this is the property of your boss, Marshal Lu Ming's family."
"Yes, I know." Lu Ming retracted his gaze and walked forward.
The three of them walking on the streets of Wu'an were still very eye-catching, especially Han Annie and Xue Zihan, both wearing dark blue suits, black stockings and high heels. They were equally beautiful, but Han Annie had more of the beauty of an urban girl, while Xue Zihan had more of the childishness of a student.
Suddenly, someone nearby blew a hooligan whistle. It was a few street thugs sitting on the steps of a shop.
There were several burly men behind Lu Ming. They immediately walked over and scolded them. Some of the hooligans were still not convinced and were slapped a few times. They dared not to fight back anymore.
It was an infantry battalion sent by Qi Huaide. The deputy battalion commander Ma Bianwu became Lu Ming's close follower. Whenever Lu Ming went out on the street, he would bring his men to follow him. Those big men were all plainclothes soldiers selected by Ma Bianwu.
Xue Zihan walked to Lu Ming's side at this time, stretched out her hand and gently put it into Lu Ming's arm. Obviously after being booed, the little girl became even braver. She wanted to show them how women in the new era fall in love and walk on the street.
Looking at this scene, Han Annie smiled slightly: "It's great to be young..."
Xue Zihan stuck out her tongue. "Sister Annie, your boyfriend must be really, really good, right? Haven't you ever gone shopping like this before?"
Han Annie shook her head gently, "I don't have a boyfriend."
Xue Zihan exclaimed: "I feel the same way. No one is worthy of Sister Annie."
Han Annie smiled and looked at Lu Ming, "Lu Ming, oh, what did Lu Shuai say? The judge has changed, and the other side's lawyer has also become Attorney Richard. He should have a solution, right?"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Don't be polite, Prosecutor Han. Just call General Lu by his first name in front of me. I know you always call him by his first name in front of him." He added, "As for the judge, ah, I almost forgot. General Lu asked me to visit Judge Boris on his behalf."
Han Anni was helpless. Why did she feel that Commissioner Zhang had inherited all his teachings? He also habitually jumped quickly from one topic to another.
Lu Ming said again: "Let's go and find a place to have lunch. In the afternoon, Prosecutor Han, I'm sorry to bother you again. Do you know where Judge Boris lives?"
Han Annie nodded gently: "It's no trouble. I haven't seen him for a long time. It's time to visit him."
Huh? Lu Ming suddenly stopped. In front of him was the Wu'an Court.
Compared with the surrounding buildings, this two-story white and gray strip building is very imposing, with bailiffs in black uniforms standing guard next to stone pillars with white plaques hanging on them.
Lu Ming turned around and waved. Ma Bianwu ran over. Lu Ming smiled and said, "We want to go to the court for a walk. Can you go and talk to us?"
"Okay, okay!" Ma Bianwu agreed quickly.
Although it is not difficult to enter the court, at least one has to go inside to do business, or be a citizen who has applied for a seat as an observer, etc. Moreover, nowadays, unlike when Lu Ming left, fewer and fewer cases are allowed to be heard by observers.
Chief Justice Zhu Zhenglong had just taken office when he signed a document temporarily suspending applications for audience in all cases.
The right to attend court sessions is only granted to public officials, gentry, etc.
However, when Ma Bianwu stepped forward, showed his officer ID, and whispered a few words, the bailiff on duty, who had been extremely serious, immediately smiled.
Ma Bianwu ran back and said with a smile, "Mr. Vice President, it's done."
In fact, Ma Bianwu received hints from his superiors in certain departments that it was true that he was to be the Vice President's follower, but it was also true that he was to monitor him secretly.
Every day, Vice President Zhang's itinerary, what he said, etc., as long as he could hear it, would be recorded and reported word for word.
But Ma Bianwu had other thoughts in his mind. It was the first time he was able to be around such a big shot. Not to mention, Montenegro was becoming more and more wealthy and developed, and he was mixed with the circle of the richest regions in the east.
If I could be favored by Vice President Zhang, my family could move to Montenegro. I wouldn't have to get promoted and could become a deputy battalion commander or a civil servant of the same level. That would be much better than staying in the northern border.
Being an official in the Northern Frontier is certainly pleasant, but my background has faded from the military circle. This is the end of my career as an official in this small position, and I may be retaliated against at any moment.
What's more, in terms of absolute income, the income in Montenegro is much higher than in northern Xinjiang, the living conditions are more modern, and it is better for the future development of children.
If the whole family could really move away, even my old wife would be so happy.
Ma Bianwu's records of Vice President Zhang's daily life, words and deeds were all recorded randomly. After all, how could someone reveal any secrets in front of him
When it comes to serving Vice President Zhang, Ma Bianwu does his best.
Lu Ming and the other two entered the court building smoothly.
Lu Ming didn't know how, but after turning a few corners in the corridor, he arrived at a bathroom. This side of the corridor was the place where he and Hanzhu were chased. He jumped out of the window of this bathroom with the help of Han Annie and escaped with his life.
"Zi Han, go over there and take a look!" Lu Ming pointed.
"Okay!" Xue Zihan seemed to have sensed something and went to the other side of the corridor.
Han Annie looked at Lu Ming with a strange look.
After all, what was so special about this bathroom to him? Even if Lu Ming had told him about escaping from here, and even described it in detail, would he have known that it was this bathroom
There is no one around.
"Annie, it's me, Lu Ming." Lu Ming smiled, looked at the bathroom, and let out a long breath, "I didn't expect to be back so soon!"
Instead of the surprised reaction she had expected, Han Annie just shook her head helplessly. It seemed that she was no longer surprised by this old friend's usual style of doing things.
"Zhang A-Ming, A-Ming..." Han Anni nodded gently, "No wonder..." She looked at Lu Ming's face again: "The makeup artist is very good..."
Lu Ming said: "Walls have ears, let's not talk about this, but Annie, coming here, I really have a lot of feelings."
Han Annie said nothing, hugged her shoulders, and walked slowly. "Richard, the barrister, is becoming more and more famous. I've seen the case file of a recent case he fought. He's very strong. You've been away from the legal profession for a long time... Are you sure?" She paused. "You asked this question as if you were new to the profession, but you must have some judgment in your mind, right?"
Lu Ming was helpless. This place had a very different meaning to him. The starting point of his life in this world was actually this court.
Coming here, I have so many emotions.
But to Han Annie, this place seemed to have no special meaning.
"We'll have to wait until the court session to find out." Lu Ming waved his hand, "Let's go for a walk."
Over there, Xue Zihan was looking around happily.
Han Annie looked at her and shook her head: "You are already married and will soon be a father, right? Why are you still like this?"
Lu Ming's face immediately fell, but it seemed that there was nothing wrong with what Annie said. When he first appeared in Wu'an Court, with his values at that time, it was probably difficult for him to imagine that he would become so ridiculous now.
