Bai Duanduan received too much information at once today, and his heart was filled with all kinds of bulging emotions, uncontrollable distress, and anger that he tried hard to suppress. Obviously, times have changed, but no matter what, Ji Lin is no longer struggling and suffering, but also strong He is mature enough that he won't be hurt anymore, but Bai Duanduan still feels sad and even blames himself. Even if he can't meet Ji Lin earlier, if he can be with him earlier, it may be regarded as a tribute to his past life. Compensation, she has never been so eager to see Ji Linguo one day.
Want to see him, want to hug him.
It's a pity that many things always backfire. The meeting at Ji Lin's customer office had to be postponed because of a dispute between the executives on the spot. Seeing that I can't come back for dinner tonight, and the person I want to see can't be seen, and the one I don't want to see is just together. It's time to come.
Lin Hui contacted Bai Duanduan again, and he sent her a text message—
"Duanduan, you forgot to take the crab. I happened to visit a client and passed by Shenglin. Can you come down and pick it up?"
Bai Duanduan directly called Lin Hui back this time: "Lawyer Lin, now you and I are attorneys for opposing parties in the same case. I think in order to avoid suspicion and prevent my client from having any inappropriate associations, I suggest We keep our distance, and as for the crabs, I don't use them because my boyfriend will buy them for me."
Lin Hui was naturally ulterior motives, he was taken aback for a moment, and after listening to Bai Duanduan's natural "boyfriend", he sighed: "Duanduan, you are still the same as before, you are too stubborn , refused to listen to my persuasion for a while. Ji Lin is really not your lover... "
Bai Duanduan was already trying to restrain her emotions, but when she heard Lin Hui's words, she finally laughed angrily. After thinking about it, she decided to see Lin Hui, because she was tired of being with Lin Hui all of a sudden. Continue to maintain superficial politeness, so that Lin Hui still feels that as a teacher, he can intervene in his own life.
She didn't want to do this anymore, and she didn't want to see Lin Hui again to make Ji Lin sad. If possible, she even hoped that the word Lin Hui would never appear in Ji Lin's future life.
Many things have changed. It is true that Lin Hui has kindness to her, but Bai Duanduan has been in Zhaohui for so long, and he feels that he no longer owes Lin Hui anything. It is time to make a real decision with Lin Hui.
In life, you still have to give up and know what you really care about.
After thinking this through, Bai Duanduan didn't refuse any more. Ji Lin was working overtime tonight, and she happened to be free, so she and Lin Hui made an appointment at a restaurant downstairs to have a good dinner.
In the end, the location was at the shop of Bai Duanduan and Ji Lin's non-mainstream neighbor. He saw Bai Duanduan brought in a man who was not Ji Lin, and he gave Bai Duanduan a second look in a subtle and complicated way. When they passed each other, Bai Duanduan heard him muttering—
"Another victim."
"..."
But Lin Hui didn't care about this episode. He took the crab and took a seat. First he ordered food and then tea.
"I see that Dianping's dessert is quite famous. If you like sweets, I'll order two more for you."
Lin Hui now speaks softly and dresses elegantly. He is still very considerate, and he still remembers Bai Duanduan's preferences. It seems that nothing has changed, but Bai Duanduan is very clear that everything has changed.
In fact, she could have waited for the food to come out before making a fuss. It would not seem so embarrassing. Food can always dilute many conflicts. She couldn't calm down at all, and she couldn't calm down at all. When it came to Ji Lin, she couldn't think about what would be the best time.
She opened her mouth almost abruptly: "Why did you lie to me about Ji Lin's family?"
But once she spoke, everything seemed to flow smoothly. Bai Duanduan's complicated thoughts just flowed out without any processing. She was angry and sharp: "Why did you know that your client had malicious intentions?" The intention is still fueling the flames? I understand that lawyers should fight for the client, but our work is also limited. If the executive has clearly signed a written labor contract, we can rely on the authority of the executive to enter the legal file if we make moves to the other party. By destroying the contract kept by the company, not only did Jixin Pharmaceutical become a powerful local snake company that did not abide by the law and even did not protect the rights and interests of executives, but also obtained undeserved high sums for your parties. Compensation, Lawyer Lin, is this what you taught me in your college class?"
"I remember very clearly what you said in the first class. You said that each of us who study law, in addition to protecting ourselves and getting a job that settles down, more importantly, we can protect our families and those around us. The weak, want to be a legal person with warmth and conscience, but how do you do it yourself?"
Lin Hui obviously didn't expect Bai Duanduan to know these details, his face turned pale all of a sudden, his lips trembled slightly, and after a long time, he said dryly, "Ji Lin said these?"
"Ji Lin didn't say that, I asked someone else." Bai Duanduan raised his head, "You will attack Ji Lin's character from behind, and you are with me for revenge, but Ji Lin never said behind his back what happened to him Trying to ask me to break up with you."
Bai Duanduan stared at Lin Hui, almost gritted his teeth and said every word: "From, come, no, yes, past."
Ji Lin didn't say a single word in order not to make things difficult for him, but how did he do it? When she didn't know about Lin Hui and Ji Lin's past, she even kept praising Lin Hui in front of Ji Lin, foolishly planning to help Lin Hui and Ji Lin match each other and introduce each other. She really thought that there was a relationship between the two. It's just a very subtle and simple misunderstanding, but is it a misunderstanding? Putting myself in the same shoes, if this happened to me, it would be a blood feud!
As for Lin Hui's current reaction, it seems to be a certainty. Although Rong Sheng did not produce any evidence, it can be seen that what he said is correct. In the case of Ji Lin's father, Lin Hui was indeed not innocent, and he played the role of What role and to what extent, I am afraid only he knows.
Bai Duanduan thought that with the psychological construction of Rong Sheng's words, her showdown with Lin Hui should be calm at this moment, but when the matter came to an end, she realized that she would not be less disappointed and sad at all.
Facing him honestly, knowing that he is really not clean in this case, Bai Duanduan still feels chest tight and hard to breathe.
"Lin Hui, is it true that the things you were good to me, the good things you did to sister Zhaoxia, and the good things you did to those disadvantaged laborers who don't have the money to hire lawyers in the past are all fake? You really acted for the sake of fame. ?"
Bai Duanduan felt that her whole being had been turned upside down. She had hoped that Lin Hui would explain it to herself. In fact, Ji Lin Rongsheng had misunderstood it, but it was not the case.
However, in reality, there are no fairy tales, no miracles, no misunderstandings, and no exceptions. Lin Hui's first reaction was to acquiesce to everything—when Bai Duanduan accused him, his face showed a kind of panic and uneasiness that the sins of the past were exposed , but not the anger and bewilderment of being wronged.
This is indeed true.
It was also at this moment that Bai Duanduan felt that he didn't really know Lin Hui at all: "I called you Teacher Lin, but I'm still doubting myself now, are you worthy of the word teacher? People who are good teachers, but they don’t even have the most basic bottom line. Yes, there are many garbage lawyers in the legal circle. I used low-handed means to win, but this shouldn't be you, it shouldn't be you, Mr. Lin."
Mr. Lin, since Bai Duanduan resigned from Zhaohui, he has never called it out again, so now Lin Hui felt as if it was the next day. He stared blankly, his eyes were red and angry Disappointed again to the sad Bai Duanduan.
Bai Duanduan is indeed a very kind person, with the utmost love and righteousness. Even at this moment, while she was angry, she was also feeling sorry for Lin Hui and how he became such a person.
When Lin Hui opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was dry and hoarse, and he shouted: "Duanduan..."
However, Bai Duanduan was very emotional: "Don't call me that." She was almost angry, "I used to think that your heart was good, but after the incident with Sister Zhaoxia, you slowly closed yourself. I was busy with work, so I got lost and went astray, but now you let me know how ridiculous I am, it turns out that you may not be what I thought from the beginning."
"The case of Ji Lin's father made you famous in one battle, those free public welfare rights protection made you famous, and helping my father gave you an obedient and capable subordinate who wanted to repay the favor? Do you do everything? It’s a good thing, but there is actually your selfishness behind it?”
Faced with Bai Duanduan's disappointment, questioning and questioning, Lin Hui suddenly remembered the past. At that time, Ye Zhaoxia was not yet dead. After she learned about her operation in Ji Lin's father's case, she also quarreled with herself with red eyes. The same way he pointed to his nose and questioned mercilessly...
However...but now there is nothing left, he has lost such a good Ye Zhaoxia, and he will soon lose Bai Duanduan who once trusted him sincerely...
For a long time, Lin Hui kept many things in his heart, never said them, and wanted to bury them completely. However, at this moment, for the first time, he felt a little impulsive and wanted to say something. It's not that he hasn't been misunderstood before. , It's not that he has never been abused and humiliated by others, but he felt that he was strong enough to be invulnerable. However, at this moment, Lin Hui realized that he still couldn't bear being misunderstood by people close to him.
He's not that good, but he's not that bad either.
Lin Hui took a deep breath: "Ji Lin's father's case is indeed my fault. I concealed some information from you. I... I know it won't help if I say anything now, but I was only in my twenties back then. I was also young, reckless, and stupid. At that time, I didn’t know the heights of the heavens and the earth, and I was young and energetic. But you know, it is difficult for young lawyers to rise to the top in the circle. The law firm can’t get any good cases at all, so they can only pick others to pick the rest. It’s not a big deal if the qualifications are so slow, most lawyers are ordinary lawyers all their lives, but I didn’t understand at the time, I was too anxious , I am too eager to prove myself, I can't tolerate the setting that I will be just an ordinary person in the future."
Lin Hui's voice was difficult and bitter: "At that time, I only expected to have the opportunity to handle a big case, the influential one, because I believed that I was capable, but I needed an opportunity, and the case of Jixin Pharmaceutical hit me. My body seems to be tailor-made for me by God. One of the senior executives is a relative of a teacher of mine. My teacher introduced it to me. I tried my best to give them the law that I could provide. However, it is obviously not enough. My method is upright and legal, but I can't guarantee them to win. It was at that time that I realized that they didn't just contact me as a lawyer. Lawyers talk, and others can give marginalized solutions... "
"I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled to the end of this easy-to-reach case. If a young and unqualified lawyer like me fails to get ahead, I may only encounter such a high-profile case in my life. I must eat this case .”
Bai Duanduan took a deep breath, and she lowered her gaze: "So you don't care about the other party's situation, abandon the fairness and fairness that a lawyer should have, and even make a hint that the other party can destroy the labor contract. A way to put pressure on Jixin Pharmaceuticals?"
Although it was embarrassing, Lin Hui finally nodded: "At that time, I only had the idea of winning this case and winning this case, because I knew that if this case was handled well, I would have more in the future." As a lawyer, I have the right to choose and speak, and I couldn’t see anything else clearly at that time, I just wanted to succeed.”
"Who doesn't want to get ahead when they are young? As lawyers, who doesn't want to be able to take on a big case and use their professional ability to become famous? But Lin Hui, what you are doing is to use your professional ability to defeat the opponent? Are you completely You changed the concept secretly, you won disgracefully, and you didn't win like a lawyer at all. You took advantage of the opportunity when Ji Xin's funds were broken, incited group emotions, manipulated public opinion, and hinted how to destroy your client. Key evidence!"
"I'm still very grateful to you for helping me so that I didn't lose my father, but in the case of Jixin Pharmaceutical, you can't clean it up no matter what. Ji Lin is only thirteen years old, and he has no father because of you." !"
Lin Hui subconsciously still wanted to defend himself: "This incident is my fault, I was obsessed with ghosts, and I was too young and radical, but I really didn't expect Ji Lin's father to commit suicide in the end, I just thought it was just Ji Lin Xin Pharmaceuticals paid more money. After all, their family has a big business, and they will pay more money if they spend more blood. The problem of Xin Pharmaceutical's broken chain of funds is so serious, I... I didn't expect that this company would really go bankrupt, and I didn't expect that Ji Lin's father would not be able to bear the blow... "
"Your original intention is just to think that the company is rich, and it's okay for the company to spend a little more blood to be taken advantage of, right? But why should the company pay for the mistakes of its employees?"
Today, Bai Duanduan finally completely understands Ji Lin's natural hatred of employees and his stance of defending business owners, as well as his anger, because he himself has experienced it like this. Be a despicable employee, so that not only the hard work of starting a business was wasted, but also his own life was exhausted, but the bystanders can still say lightly, "Entrepreneurs have great careers, so what if you lose some money to employees", As if just because the business owner has money, he deserves to be robbed.
Because of her father's experience, Bai Duanduan hated business owners. She only felt that they were cunning, sinister and greedy. She was naturally sympathetic to weak laborers like her father. However, this time, she was able to think differently. In extreme cases, if you encounter an opponent who has no bottom line, no matter whether it is a worker or a business owner, no one is absolutely strong.
Lin Hui really looked like he was sincerely repenting, but repentance is useless, the past hurts will not disappear, and dead relatives will not be resurrected.
"Knowing that something happened to Ji Lin's family, I regretted it. I wanted to make up for it, but I couldn't do anything. During that time, I doubted myself and was depressed. Later, Zhaoxia pulled me out. She said I did nothing. If you do one bad thing, then do ten, and do one hundred good things to make up for your sins.”
Lin Hui's expression was very pale, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I became a public welfare lawyer and asked for free wages for migrant workers. I just know that I made a mistake and want to make up for it, including your father’s matter. You may not believe what I say now, but I really want to help you. Ji Lin doesn’t have a father because of me. Now, but your father can still keep... In the situation at that time, if it was someone else, I would also help. Your father was finally out of danger and discharged from the hospital. I am happier than anyone else. Zhaoxia is also very happy. I always feel that I have done something again It's a good thing, she doesn't care at all that I use our wedding money to pay your medical bills."
Speaking of the medical expenses, Bai Duanduan's heart suddenly sank: "The money you lent me back then... the money you saved to buy a house for marriage, is it the lawyer's fees you got in the case of Ji Lin's father..."
Lin Hui didn't answer, he looked away and avoided Bai Duanduan's gaze. He didn't want to tell Bai Duanduan that he really didn't intend to hurt her.
But Bai Duanduan still knew everything. The money that Lin Hui gave him at the beginning was really...
For Lin Hui at the time, perhaps he really wanted to help himself. Perhaps for him, using the dirty money for goodwill was a kind of self-liberation and atonement, but Regardless of his motives, Bai Duanduan did become a beneficiary for this, and the money... It turned out to be Ji Lin's misfortune.
Looking at Bai Duanduan's painful expression, Lin Hui finally couldn't bear it. He interrupted Bai Duanduan's thoughts and continued his confession: "In short, because I have done a lot of free public welfare cases, I don't know when the media will It started to report that I am a high-spirited and conscientious lawyer. Although I deserve it, it is indeed an accidental reputation, not my deliberate pursuit. And if I want to know what this reputation will bring to Zhaoxia, I would rather die. No, compared to Zhaoxia, what are these external fame and fortune?"
At this point, Lin Hui's expression was painful and struggling. Even Bai Duanduan was aware of his abnormality. She tentatively asked, "What does this reputation have to do with Sister Zhaoxia?"
Lin Hui was silent for a moment before finally speaking again: "I never told you how Zhaoxia died."
Bai Duanduan did not speak. Ye Zhaoxia was the dividing line between Lin Hui and her. When she thought of Ye Zhaoxia, her heart ached.
"All you know is that Zhaoxia was accidentally attacked and died unfortunately." Lin Hui tried hard to hold back the grief in his heart, "everyone told me to express their condolences and told me that Zhaoxia's incident was a misfortune that no one expected, right? My fault, but I knew in my heart that it wasn't, that man didn't choose Zhaoxia randomly without a goal, he was the client I had just finished handling the case at that time."
Bai Duanduan was stunned: "So he did it on purpose..."
"Yes, the person he wanted to hit was me. By following me, he found out which neighborhood I lived in, and also knew that Zhaoxia lived with me and was my fiancée. But I happened to go out because of a case. He squatted downstairs in the community for a long time, but he didn't wait for me, and when Zhaoxia went out to buy groceries, he beat her on the spur of the moment."
For a long time, Bai Duanduan felt that what happened to Ye Zhaoxia was indeed an accident, because the other party argued that he did not know Zhaoxia and had no criminal record, so it was indeed a crime of passion. However, he did not expect that there was such an inside story here.
Bai Duanduan asked almost immediately: "Why did he treat sister Zhaoxia like this?"
"He is a client of my public welfare rights protection case, and it is also a case of asking for salary. The company did not sign a labor contract, but after working for a year, he paid him three months' salary." Lin Hui smiled bleakly, "Maybe I did something wrong in the case of Ji Lin's father. At that time, I cheated his father by not signing the labor contract. Now I have lost the person I love most because of the case of not signing the labor contract."
"Before this case, I had filed a total of 59 free rights protection cases, and I was lucky to win all of them. That's why the circle began to publicize my name as an invincible public rights protection lawyer. The case I received was a The 60th one, when the client found me, he also came here in admiration. Although I told him repeatedly that I couldn't promise him that he would win, he roughly read my reports and past achievements, and unconditionally felt that I was just humble. He will definitely win, after all, in his opinion, this case is very simple, the law clearly stipulates that if no written labor contract is signed, the company has to pay double the economic compensation, I just need to follow this lawsuit step by step. "
Lin Hui's narration hardly needs to be continued, Bai Duanduan can guess the follow-up, and many cases that end up overturned are often not difficult and miscellaneous cases, but such small cases. Although these cases look small, the case is very simple , but when you actually do it, you will find that this is not the case. The case is complicated, but no matter what, it can always leave traces of evidence, but the case is too simple, and many of the parties involved are not very educated and legal. If there is no evidence, if the case is so simple and there is no other way to prove the facts, then it will be tricky.
Sure enough, what Lin Hui encountered was exactly what Bai Duanduan had predicted: "It is indeed a good proof to have not signed a labor contract, but my client did not pay attention to keeping any evidence. There were no sign-in certificates for some supplies, and even text messages and phone records. There was nothing, except that there were indeed traces in the first three months. In the next nine months, I really tried my best to collect evidence, but there was no evidence. It’s just not, since the incident with Ji Lin’s father, I haven’t done anything beyond the rules, and I’ve done everything according to my duty.”
"So the case is lost?"
"En." Lin Hui nodded, and it was obvious that he didn't want to recall, but he continued under the tremendous emotional pressure, "I really did my best, and I also explained the process of handling the case and the evidence collection process and the whole story of the matter. I discussed it with the client again and again, but the client couldn’t accept it at all. At that time, in addition to the free rights protection cases, I also started to do some fee-based cases. He heard the news from nowhere and concluded that my case was free because he disliked him. , I didn’t pay attention, and all my energy was spent on charging myself.”
Bai Duanduan remained silent. It is not that she has never encountered unreasonable clients in her career. Some clients always think that I paid the lawyer's fee and the lawyer should win. Otherwise, the service is worthless. If they lose, it is Lawyers, but they never think about it in analogy, if they go to the hospital to see a doctor, they are not 100% optimistic, but even if the cure is not cured, you still have to pay for the operation and medical expenses in order to gamble on the probability of success, doctor That's right, lawyers are actually the same, they are also practitioners in the professional field, but lawyers' services are often not easily understood by the public.
"I defended his rights for free. I ran back and forth for half a month, trying to collect evidence in various ways, and thought of several litigation strategies, but because he didn't have any legal awareness, he didn't take any action to fix the evidence. All the evidence was lost, but I really tried my best. I did it out of kindness and kindness. There is no legal requirement that I have to accept this rights protection case. I did, and I spent 120,000 points of energy. But just because I didn't win, I was blocked by this client at the door of the law firm and insulted, humiliated me, and my mother with the most vulgar and ugly words. But I have no obligation to help him. Fighting a rights defense lawsuit is just a matter of affection , this client failed to insult the boss who didn’t pay him, but trampled me, the person who helped him, in the most ruthless way.”
Lin Hui's tone gradually increased, and even though he tried hard to suppress it, the anger and resentment in his tone still leaked out: "He scolded me for taking the rights defense case hypocritically for the sake of reputation and pretending to be a good person, I endured it; he scolded me for seeing money Open, relying on rights protection and getting a fee-based case source to prevaricate the rights protection case, I can bear it; he harassed and insulted me with various text messages and calls, I also endured it."
"I thought this was all. As long as I endured it, it would be fine. When the matter passed, I just need to continue to do what I should do, and then time will restore what kind of person I am. Everyone will give me a fair assessment."
Speaking of this, Lin Hui's face was full of pain, his eyes were slightly red, and his voice was a little hoarse: "But I didn't expect that I could bear it, but my client couldn't. I lost the lawsuit because of my reasons and negligence, and he even dug up my previous reports, why other people are in the same situation as him, I win, his is lost, he doesn’t even think about it, even if the case seems applicable on the surface The law is the same, but the facts of the case are very different! And no matter how much he hates me, can’t he just come and beat me? Can’t he come directly to me? How can he hurt someone who has nothing to do with this matter because of his own dissatisfaction? Morning glow of relationship!"
Lin Hui's emotions finally broke down. The man who has always been calm and stable, shed tears in front of Bai Duanduan: "Duanduan, do you know? Zhaoxia was still trying to persuade me the night before the accident, that the money for our marriage can be spent slowly." , The big deal is naked marriage, let me not take more fee cases for this money, but take more public welfare cases, because there are too many poor and vulnerable people in this world, and we are much better off than them, and we can help a little bit .”
"Yes, I was a shameless villain who was blinded by fame and fortune in the case of Ji Lin's father. I can take revenge on me, but what did Zhaoxia do wrong? She is such a kind person, why did she end up so badly? Is such that?"
Lin Hui's voice was not high, but every word pierced Bai Duanduan's heart like a sharp arrow. Bai Duanduan never knew the truth about sister Zhaoxia's accident. Also red.
Yes, even though Lin Hui made thousands of mistakes, what did Sister Zhaoxia miss
"But later, have you seen the end of that man? Because he was poor, he was assigned a lawyer. His lawyer was a real 'public interest lawyer' who used sophistry to get that man's revenge against Zhao Xia. Although I knew me, I didn't know that Zhaoxia was my fiancée. She said it was a crime of passion driven by drunkenness, and it was not too harmful to society. In the end, she got a fairly light sentence. judgment."
Lin Hui looked at Duan Duan, and his tone was almost lifeless and numb: "So this is my revenge after what I did to Ji Lin's family? But God is totally blind, these revenges are not me, But the person I love the most. Zhaoxia is gone, but I, a dirty person, was left in this world."
Lin Hui just clicked to the end, and hadn't expressed his true emotions yet, but Bai Duanduan had gradually come to terms with it. At this moment, she suddenly understood Lin Hui's change.
Why did Lin Hui change his style of taking public welfare cases after Ye Zhaoxia's death, and started to only take cases with high influence or high stakes, as long as he would not be legally liable, he could do anything in order to win, almost short In a few years, Zhaohui has rapidly become bigger and stronger, and has expanded strongly.
On the one hand, after Zhaoxia died, he diverted his attention to his career empathetically, and on the other hand, on the day Zhaoxia died, the true, kind and beautiful part of Lin Hui's heart also died along with him.
He is still Lin Hui, but not Lin Hui anymore.
Zhaoxia is gone, and so are his beliefs, and the person who would gently pull him back on track to accept him when he was lost is gone forever.
Lin Hui just shed tears, drank a sip of wine, and then laughed out loud, "Killing people and setting fire to the golden belt, repairing bridges and repairing roads without corpses, these words really do not deceive me."
"Because of my misbehavior and selfishness, I failed to uphold my professional ethics and contributed to the tragedy of Ji Lin's family. But what have I gained? I have gained both fame and fortune. Overnight, everyone knows that I am a fledgling young lawyer. , To bring down such a big company as Ji Xin."
"And I abide by the laws and regulations and do good deeds. I dedicate myself to the public good. I confiscate every penny. I just want to defend the rights of the disadvantaged. Then what do I get? I get the ungratefulness, misunderstanding and hatred of others, even if it is symbolic. You have to kneel down to beg for the fee, and it ended up killing the woman I love the most."
He was obviously smiling, but Bai Duanduan felt that Lin Hui was more sad than crying. His tears had dried up, and it seemed that he could no longer shed tears. However, his empty eyes and numb expression were always there. Remind Bai Duanduan that although this man is alive, he is almost like a walking dead.
He finally looked at Bai Duanduan again: "Duanduan, it's too tiring to be a good person. There is no reward for being a good person, but it's easy to be a bad person. You can get everything you want."
"From the day Zhaoxia died, I have decided that I will not be a good person anymore."
