Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

"What happened to Assistant Xia? Don't overreact like that! This isn't like your usual calm and collected manner!"

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and asked, but his eyes peered through the gap in the stair railing at two middle-aged men standing at the entrance of the lobby on the first floor.

The two middle-aged men were dressed in black suits and ties, and both wore gold-rimmed glasses, giving them a refined and cultured appearance.

Upon seeing this attire, the word "refined scoundrel" involuntarily popped into Xiao Zhan's mind...

The two middle-aged men were carrying black briefcases, and their attire was sure to attract attention in this setting.

At this moment, one of the men was talking to the criminal police captain Ling Xiao with a serious expression, while the other man took out several documents from a black briefcase and handed them to Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao took the document with a serious expression and began to read it...

At this moment, Xia Keke pointed to the two middle-aged men and said, "Mr. Xiao, you may not know these two people. They are the most famous criminal lawyers in Beijing. Both of them specialize in criminal cases and are top-notch lawyers."

"To put it this way, normally if we can get just one of them, the case is basically a sure win. Now that Lin Ruoxi has invited both of them at the same time, it's clear that Lin Ruoxi had anticipated this day and made thorough preparations in advance."

To Xia Keke's surprise, Xiao Zhan didn't seem particularly surprised, and calmly asked, "Isn't it good that Lin Ruoxi asked them to defend her?"

"Hehe, to be honest, my original intention was not to put Lin Ruoxi in jail, but she has to take responsibility for what she did. If the lawyer can help her legally avoid jail time."

"Isn't that fate?"

Xia Keke looked into Xiao Zhan's eyes with her beautiful eyes. She hadn't expected Xiao Zhan to say that.

She seemed to have gained a new understanding of Xiao Zhan in front of her.

Xia Keke said, "Lin Ruoxi has been released on bail pending trial, so our previous plan has failed."

Xiao Zhan sneered, "As far as I know, a criminal suspect can only be released on bail if he meets the relevant legal requirements."

"So what is Lin Ruoxi's reason?"

Xia Keke said with a hint of indignation, "President Xiao, I dare say this is a reason you would never have imagined?"

Xiao Zhan's deep eyes flickered a few times, and he said calmly, "It's just schizophrenia and sex addiction. I can't think of any other way."

Xia Keke exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, Mr. Xiao, you're amazing! How did you know?"

Xiao Zhan curled his lip and said, "I had heard that Lin Ruoxi suffers from mild sex addiction. She committed a criminal case but did not want to take legal responsibility. Only mental illnesses can exempt her from legal responsibility. This is a right granted by law."

Xia Keke: "These two lawyers applied for bail on the grounds that Lin Ruoxi suffers from schizophrenia and sex addiction."

Xiao Zhan shrugged and gazed at the sky outside, saying indifferently, "It doesn't matter anymore. This is probably the best outcome for Lin Ruoxi. She has already been expelled from the management of the Lin family, and she can no longer effectively harm Lin Zhongtian."

"As long as she doesn't cause any more trouble, why not let her off the hook? Perhaps it's fate!"

Xia Keke hesitated for a moment and said somewhat unwillingly, "President Xiao, if you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze. Lin Ruoxi has failed this time, and she will definitely not let it go. With her personality, she will definitely come back with a vengeance. At that time, she will launch a more frantic attack and retaliation against you, Qin Huanhuan, and the Lin family, and she will do whatever it takes."

Xiao Zhan said calmly, "Don't worry, Lin Ruoxi is nothing to worry about. I've never taken her seriously."

Xia Keke: "It's good that President Xiao has confidence."

"Hey, where's Huanhuan?"

Xiao Zhan pouted and said, "I became sworn sisters with Deng Ying, and the two of them kicked me out."

"Haha, those two are having tea and whispering to each other."

Xia Keke teased, "Mr. Xiao, you've failed as a person!"

Xiao Zhan smirked and said, "Isn't that right? Assistant Xia is still the one who has never abandoned me and is absolutely loyal."

"brush!"

Xia Keke's pretty face instantly lit up with a fiery red glow, and she said somewhat embarrassedly, "President Xiao, I'm just doing my duty, don't get the wrong idea."

Xiao Zhan joked, "You're getting the wrong idea. I was just talking about work. What are you thinking?"

"Let's go, we've only been in the meeting halfway through, let's hurry back and continue. We still don't know the specific tasks from above this time."

So Xiao Zhan and Xia Keke returned to No. 14 East Chang'an Street to continue their meeting.

As the last rays of the setting sun reluctantly and unwillingly disappeared into the darkness of night, the western sky gradually darkened.

Xiaotangshan, located in the southeastern part of Changping District in Beijing, has ushered in its moment of glory. Xiaotangshan covers a total area of ​​70.1 square kilometers. Because the hills here are relatively small, with an altitude of only 50.1 meters, and there are hot springs at the foot of the mountain, which the ancients called "tang" (soup), it was named Xiaotangshan.

Its geothermal resources first appeared in the limestone fissures of the Wumishan Formation in the Proterozoic Era. The water temperature reached a maximum of 76℃. The spring water contains a variety of minerals such as strontium and fluorine. It is a high-temperature, fluorine-containing, sodium-calcium bicarbonate type fresh hot spring with medicinal value.

Its hot springs have been used since the Northern and Southern Dynasties. During the Yuan Dynasty, they were called "Holy Hot Springs". During the Qing Dynasty, Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong built imperial palaces here. The existing stone inscription "Jiuhua Xixiu" and the site of Empress Dowager Cixi's bathhouse are still preserved.

at this time,

A naturally formed small pool, with crystal-clear water and wisps of steam rising from it, is clearly a natural hot spring.

Then you can see in the hot spring,

There was a woman taking a bath!

The woman's long, jet-black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, covering her exquisite curves. Her skin, reflected in the mist, was as white as snow and so tender it seemed as if it could be pinched to release moisture.

Her slender waist was so thin it could be encircled by a single hand, and her two long, jade-like legs were faintly visible in the water, outlining an alluring curve.

"Gurgle!"

Standing on the shore, Deng Zhi swallowed hard, feeling a surge of heat rush to his head, his heartbeat quickening, and his breathing becoming rapid.

He thought to himself, "This woman is truly a rare beauty!"

"The best of women."

To be honest, Deng Zhi had been with countless women, numbering in the thousands, but every time he saw this woman showering in a sensual setting, a burning desire would rise within him...

Just as Deng Zhi was engrossed in watching the beautiful woman bathing.

The woman seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around.

The moment their eyes met, Deng Zhi felt his heart was about to stop beating.

What an absolutely beautiful face it was! Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes like autumn water, her nose was straight and delicate, and her lips were red and moist.

Especially the woman's exquisite eyes, which seemed to contain a pool of spring water, carrying a hint of surprise, a hint of allure, and a hint of barely perceptible coldness.

The woman stood up from the hot spring and smiled sweetly at Deng Zhi, who was instantly captivated by her charm...

The woman's voice was ethereal and so beautiful it could make your ears pregnant. She said shyly, "Mr. Deng, when did you arrive?"

"cough!"

Deng Zhi coughed slightly, a little embarrassed, and said normally, "I just saw such a beautiful painting of ladies bathing and didn't want to disturb you!"

"Heh, I didn't expect you to find out after all."

The woman walked naked up to Deng Zhi, gently took his large, well-defined hand in her slender, jade-like hand, and said coquettishly, "Mr. Deng, why don't we soak in the hot spring together?"

Deng Zhi: "Great, that suits me perfectly."
