Han Anni and Xue Zihan live in Suite 302.
Originally, the Sanyuan Hotel was full, and there were four female affairs officers in Room 302.
However, Brigade Commander Han Renwang personally sent a letter asking County Commissioner Liu Depei to help the Montenegrin Lawyers Group solve the accommodation problem.
With the coordination of Liu Depei, local businesses helped. It happened that the newly built two-story building in the backyard of the "Da Ci Ye" pawnshop was originally intended to be used as a charity nursing home. Many pawnshops had a bad reputation, so it was common for them to do more good deeds, and "Da Ci Ye" was no exception.
Today, the second floor is temporarily provided free of charge to the Montenegrin Lawyers Group for accommodation.
Some of the witnesses moved in here, and the space in the Sanyuan Hotel became less tight.
For example, in the suite where Han Annie and Xue Zihan lived, the four female affairs officers originally moved to the standard room on the second floor.
When Lu Ming arrived at Suite 302, Han Annie was drawing and writing something on the desk. The wastebasket was full of paper balls. When she saw Lu Ming come in, she just nodded.
Xue Zihan was sitting on the side, with her hands on her cheeks, helping Han Annie with advice. When she saw Lu Ming coming in, she hurried over to pour tea for Lu Ming, then sat on the sofa next to Lu Ming, and whispered, "Sister Annie didn't sleep much last night..."
Lu Ming could see that Han Annie and Xue Zihan obviously didn't want to go out. They were both wearing snow-white satin pajamas and pants. They were equally beautiful, but Han Annie was brighter and Xue Zihan had a bit of student-like childishness.
It seemed that neither of them had slept much, and Xue Zihan was so sleepy that she kept yawning beside her.
He picked up a ball of paper from his feet and unfolded it. The delicate handwriting was naturally Han Annie's. The content was about the changes that the Black Mountain Army brought to the people of Northern Xinjiang after entering Northern Xinjiang, that is, the rapid changes in the original Wanzhou and Nanping.
"Want to help me get rid of the label of a warmonger?" Lu Ming smiled.
“Yeah…” Han Annie didn’t look back. She scratched her head in annoyance, making her originally delicate and smooth black long hair messy.
Lu Ming felt amused. This was probably because her brain was slow to react after being busy all night. She didn't care if she was seen looking so unkempt and even a little sloppy.
He was a little puzzled and said, "I think your draft is very good. Why are you not satisfied? You wrote it with great emotion. If Zhu Zhenglong didn't say 'cut' and let you finish speaking, I'm sure the jurors would want to turn into black mountain people."
"But it will make those big warlords more afraid of you!" Han Annie said casually.
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Annie, you are not professional. Let's just start from the lawsuit. It's good enough if we can win the lawsuit. You are thinking too much." He said this, but tenderness surged in his heart.
Han Annie turned around and said seriously, "But you are our real client. Protecting the most fundamental interests of the client is the embodiment of professionalism, right? We won the lawsuit, but you can't move an inch in the Northern Territory. Aren't we still derelict in our duty?"
Lu Ming was stunned and said with a smile: "Our Han Jian is so eloquent now. What you said is right. You found a good angle! But Annie, in fact, Ren Zhonglin from Longbei, Qi Huaide from Beijiang, not to mention Liu Bangchang from Haixi who has a grudge against me, they all know that I came to the Northern Territory not to bring warmth. If possible, who wouldn't want to swallow up the other three in one breath? So, it depends on whether my existence is beneficial or harmful to them. We Heishan people value contracts, and Ren Zhonglin and I are sworn brothers..." When he said this, he realized that something was wrong. He looked down and saw that Xue Zihan had fallen asleep curled up in his arms without knowing when.
As for himself, he naturally reached out and gently embraced her. He even kissed Xue Zihan's hair and smelled her fragrance while chatting with Han Annie. It was a completely subconscious reaction, as natural as fiddling with his fingers while chatting.
Chatting with Han Annie in a quiet room like this, listening to her thoughtful considerations for me, my heart was filled with tenderness, but I didn't expect that this tenderness was also given to the girl in my arms. Kissing the girl's hair was a subconscious expression.
He coughed. He couldn't push the girl away right now, so he could only bite the bullet and continue, "So, Annie, don't worry about what those big warlords think. The most important thing is to get the jury to stand on our side and be willing to listen to our story emotionally."
Han Annie looked at Xue Zihan and smiled: "This little girl has been busy with me all night, but I'm used to it. She is still a student and is short of sleep."
Lu Ming smiled awkwardly and said nothing.
Han Annie added: "I didn't want to ask, but Ma Quanyou will definitely try to influence the jurors. You should be prepared, right?"
Lu Ming nodded, "Don't worry too much about this." He added, "You, take a good rest. Actually, I originally wanted to take you to relax and watch a movie in the city. What you need is relaxation. Well, I think you should also go to your uncle's place. But seeing how you are, you two, take a rest and have a good sleep. We'll talk about going to the city tomorrow. The second class is the day after tomorrow!"
Han Annie said, "Let's go today. My mind is a little excited now and I can't sleep. I'll have a good rest tomorrow and visit my father. Will it help Anzi?"
Lu Ming was helpless. Originally, what he said about visiting her father was just an excuse. He was afraid that she would not go to the movies if he invited her.
But it was obvious that she was now completely focused on the lawsuit and logical thinking, and had not considered anything else.
Moreover, looking at Xue Zihan in his arms, it would be weird to ask Han Anni to go to the movies at this time
Lu Ming waved his hand while thinking about something else. "Rest. You must rest today. I've been in this state before. In fact, your body is very tired. Just lie down and calm down a little. You will fall asleep soon. You will still feel tired when you wake up tomorrow! If you continue to toss and turn today, I'm afraid you won't be able to recover when you go to court the day after tomorrow. Hurry up, listen to me and go to sleep!"
As he spoke, Lu Ming put his arms around Xue Zihan's waist and picked her up. The little girl was sleeping soundly. He helped her take off her slippers and white socks and put them on the bed. She was still sleeping soundly, but she picked up a pillow and put her cutely curved snow-white legs on it, murmuring as if she was calling "Master".
Lu Ming hurriedly pulled a thin blanket over her, not daring to look up at Han Annie, and said, "You should have a good rest too."
"Why don't you stay here with Zi Han? I think she can't leave you. She calls you in her sleep in the middle of the night... There should be an empty room downstairs."
Lu Ming wanted to say that there was nothing wrong between him and her, but then he swallowed back such unmanly words, raised his head and smiled: "How about we accompany her together? Annie, you look very tired, don't you need a hug?"
In fact, Lu Ming hadn't made such a joke to her for a long time, let alone this farewell. He had always been respectful and polite to Han Annie.
"Go away now! I thought you had changed, but you are still thicker-skinned than the wall. You can tell a person's future by looking at him when he is three years old. I think it's true!" Han Annie's pretty face was full of helplessness. She was not angry, but somewhat contemptuous. She felt that even though this guy had become a prince, he was still the dandy Wu An at heart.
Looking at Han Annie, Lu Ming suddenly asked: "Annie, are you never going to get married in this life?"
At the age of twenty-two or twenty-three, in this world, I am already an older left-over woman.
Especially for girls in Central China, if they are still not married at this age, people would generally think that the girl is weird, especially such a beautiful girl. It is definitely that she has bad character and cannot get married, or she has some strange disease.
"There is nothing that I can admire about you now. Why do you look like those aunts and uncles? In Donghai, you spoke up for those who believe in non-marriage." Han Annie widened her beautiful eyes.
Lu Ming scratched his head: "Okay, you take a rest!" Suddenly he smiled mischievously: "I'll go to Beining by myself."
Seeing this guy's smile, Han Annie instinctively felt that it was not a good thing, but she was too lazy to pay attention to him and said, "It's up to you. My father used to be a ruthless person. You better be careful. Don't think you are the smartest person in the world!"
…
The Han Mansion in Bac Ninh, or the very elegant teahouse.
Even though Han Renwang had seen many storms, he was still shocked at this moment.
Han Anlin beside him looked overjoyed and said with a smile: "Great, brother-in-law, you are really going to become my brother-in-law now!"
Lu Ming suddenly came to propose marriage.
Looking at the list of betrothal gifts, Han Anlin's eyes widened.
Five thousand long and short rifles, two hundred boxes of ammunition, one hundred boxes of grenades and other throwing bombs, twenty boxes of mortar shells, fifty "Freedom Guardian" light machine guns, five "Hellfire" heavy machine guns, and twenty "Sky Thunder" mortars.
The guns and ammunition were all produced by the Freedom Force Alliance weapons company, and they were all new products of Imperial technology.
It is more than enough to rearm the Bac Ninh Brigade from head to toe.
In addition, at the end of the gift list, there is 10 million in cash, which is considered a betrothal gift.
It's really full of dry stuff, without any water at all.
The Dongcheng Long family is known as the richest family in Northern Xinjiang, but the betrothal gift brought by the matchmaker is nothing compared to this.
"Uncle, can you agree to my marriage with Annie?" Lu Ming asked.
Han Renwang smiled bitterly: "You know Nizi's temper. Of course I am very happy. With a good son-in-law like you, what else can I ask for? But as for Nizi..." Even though the old man had seen a lot of ups and downs, he was obviously a little confused at this moment.
The Han family had been plundering land in Beining for decades, but their entire fortune combined was not as valuable as the betrothal gift from this young man.
After all, maintaining thousands of soldiers is a very expensive thing.
As for the one from the Long family, we returned it double the amount so as not to hurt the reputation of both parties.
But if I accept this, I won’t be able to afford the compensation if Nizi disagrees.
Han Anlin said, "Dad, Nizi has already said that the man she loves is my brother-in-law, how can you not agree?"
Han Renwang finally realized it, but he thought to himself, that damn girl also has a lover? It's unbelievable, is it true? Her head is full of thorns, and she thought she wanted to hit all the men in the world with a brick.
Han Renwang coughed dryly and said, "That's great. I will certainly agree. However, what about Yan'er? Although I have Nizi's birth date..."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Auntie is very happy now that she knows about this. She said that everything will be up to you, uncle!"
"Okay, okay!" Han Renwang stroked his beard and smiled. Although he looked reserved, he couldn't help but glance at the gift list from the corner of his eye. His body was shaking slightly with excitement. Even though he had been famous all his life, he had never seen such an extravagant gift list, right
