Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

"This city is full of dreams and temptations. Every day, so many people come to this city, and so many leave. Year after year, graduates want to stay, and so do workers who come to work want to stay. It's like a glass of water, which will always overflow when it's full.

I never thought I would give up my previous life and become one of the many migrant workers in Shanghai. Sometimes I think about it and I really don’t know where my future lies.

Han Tao looked at the melancholy Xu Jie and knew that she was sad because she had been framed by her boyfriend and had to leave the city where she had worked hard for many years to come to Shanghai. So he said with a hint of deep meaning:

"I didn't expect Lawyer Xu to have such a sentimental side! Life, I would say, is like a spontaneous journey. You never know what the next stop will be like. It could be blooming mountain flowers or muddy fields. Let bygones be bygones.

Don't worry about what happened in the past, and don't worry about the grand blueprint for the future. You can't control that, so just live today well and seize today!"

Xu Jie glanced at Han Tao and said with a smile, "That makes sense. It seems Han Lu is also a person with a story. Can you tell me about it?"

Han Tao looked at the traffic and lights before him and slowly replied, "Maybe there's a chance. Let's find a place to talk. It's nice to have someone to talk to. Talking about happy things doubles your happiness, but talking about sad things halves your sadness!"

"I didn't expect Han Yu to be so good at giving people chicken soup, but thank you for the ride, Han Yu. It made my way home at night not so lonely."

Xu Jie laughed and suddenly felt much better.

"It's not that I'm good at giving people chicken soup, but I think you're too sentimental and need someone to help you adjust. Otherwise, your words are always sharp, and I think you're trying to find so-called happiness in the process of squeezing others."

After saying that, Han Tao held the steering wheel and turned to look at her.

"Sad? Trying to find happiness among the crowd again?"

Xu Jie looked at Han Tao, shook her head and replied, "That's not what I meant. Your accusation is a bit too serious."

"It doesn't matter whether that's what you meant. If this method can help you get out of your shell and become happier, then as your advisor at the law firm, I can barely accept it."

"You're still reluctantly accepting it. How can you tell that I'm unhappy?" Xu Jie asked Han Tao in return.

"From your eyes and expression, you give people the feeling that you are covered in a layer of thorns. Your whole body reveals an unhappy temperament. To use an old saying, you are not willing to do good."

Xu Jie turned her head and stared at Han Tao and said, "Why am I so unhappy?"

"Haha, people like you are so knowledgeable, erudite, and experienced. But every word you say is thorny and hurtful. On the surface, it seems you don't want to establish good social relationships with others. You look lonely and proud, but in fact, you are just a lone wolf licking your wounds. You must be very sad inside."

After saying that, Han Tao turned around and glanced at Xu Jie.

After hearing this, Xu Jie couldn't help laughing and looked at Han Tao and asked:

"Then I'd like to ask Lawyer Han, are you a person who always strives for good?"

"I can't say I'm all for the good, but I can be considered the light of your life because I'm so tolerant of Lawyer Xu."

"You're such a liar, I don't believe you..."

Xu Jie couldn't help but give Han Tao a blank look, then smiled and shook her head.

Listening to the reward notification sound coming from the system in his mind, Han Tao couldn't help but smile. It seemed that just as he expected, the efforts and communication along the way were not in vain.

......................................................

The black Lincoln Navigator drove forward in the traffic of Shanghai and soon arrived at the hotel where Xu Jie was staying.

"Lawyer Xu, we're here."

Han Tao parked the car and tried to remind Xu Jie, but when she didn't respond, he turned around and saw that she was still staring out the window in a daze.

Han Tao waved his hand in front of Xu Jie's eyes and continued to remind her, "Lawyer Xu, we're here!"

"Oh, sorry, Han Lu, I was just thinking about something and was a little absent-minded. Thank you!"

Looking at the big hand in front of her, Xu Jie reacted and thanked him while getting out of the car.

"You're welcome, it's just on the way!"

Han Tao waved his hand, got out of the car, and followed her to the hotel.

"Han Lu, no need to be so polite, I can just go in by myself!"

Seeing Han Tao walking towards the hotel with her, Xu Jie looked at him puzzledly.

"I just returned to Shanghai yesterday and checked out of my previous hotel this morning. I'm thinking of staying here today too!"

Seeing the confusion and puzzlement on Xu Jie's face, Han Tao explained with a smile.

After hearing Han Tao's explanation, Xu Jie was stunned for a moment, and then she said after a long while:

"Is it such a coincidence? Lawyer Han, you didn't do this on purpose, did you? Are you in love with me?"

"Don't get me wrong, Lawyer Xu. I don't deny that you are beautiful and charming, but don't worry, I am not what you think.

I just returned to Shanghai yesterday. My previous house was under trusteeship, so it wouldn't be appropriate to go over and take possession of it so late today. And since you're staying in a hotel, I'm too lazy to bother with that!

After explaining, Han Tao looked at Xu Jie seriously, then walked into the hotel first.

In the hotel lobby, Han Tao walked towards the front desk and said to the waiter, "Hello, are there any rooms available?"

"Hello sir, the room is still available. Are you checking in with your girlfriend?"

When the waiter saw Han Tao and Xu Jie coming in together, he politely asked about the situation.

Han Tao took out his ID card and membership card from his wallet and handed them to the other party.

"You misunderstood, I'm the only one staying here!"

Taking the ID card and membership card handed over by Han Tao, the waiter checked him in while apologizing and responding:

"Excuse me, sir. I made a mistake. Sorry! Which type of room would you like? We have a nice river view room. I'll check you into that one. What do you think?"

Han Tao smiled and said, "It's okay, this one is fine!"

"Okay, please wait a moment!"

The front desk clerk nodded slightly. After registering the check-in information, she returned the room card, ID card, and membership card to Han Tao and said:

"Mr. Han, here's your room card, your ID card, and your VIP card. Please keep them safe. Welcome to the Park Hyatt Hotel. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our front desk. We're at your service 24 hours a day!"

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome, you should!"

After leaving the front desk, Han Tao greeted Xu Jie. After the two talked for a few words in the lobby, Han Tao checked the room card and went straight to his room.

After arriving at his destination, just as he was standing in front of the door and taking out the room card to open the door, a disheveled woman ran out of the room in front of him.

The woman's face was flushed and she looked panic-stricken. Her sexy lotus pink dress highlighted her curvy figure.

Feeling her consciousness gradually blurring, the woman hurried over and hugged Han Tao's arm. While using her upright posture to support her shaky body, she begged:

"Sir, please help me!"

Chapter 8 Hero saves beauty

With the warm and soft jade in his arms, Han Tao looked at the woman whose consciousness was gradually fading and said, "Miss Xingxing, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing Han Tao's question, the woman tried hard to stay awake. She opened her eyes with difficulty, shook her heavy head, and managed to muster up some energy. She said in a broken voice:

"Someone drugged my drink. Please, please help me stop him. Or, or help me...!"

Before she could finish her words, the woman was completely lost. Without waiting for Han Tao to continue asking, she collapsed in his arms. At this time, the woman's face was rosy, her eyes were hazy, and her body looked soft and weak.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Han Tao roughly knew what was going on. Although he had no experience in this area, he had seen pigs run even if he had not eaten pork. It seemed that he had witnessed a hallucinogen incident on the spot.

He glanced down at the woman leaning against his arms, who looked like she was ready to be taken advantage of. Without caring about the dilemma of whether to be a beast or worse than a beast, Han Tao simply reached into his pocket.

Just as Han Tao was secretly preparing, the protagonist of this incident appeared. A middle-aged man with a big belly chased out from the front room. Seeing the woman in Han Tao's arms, his face turned cold and said:

"Hey little brother, the woman in your arms is my girlfriend. She's drunk. I'm so sorry, just leave her to me!"

"girlfriend?"

Listening to the other party's words, Han Tao asked: "Since she is your girlfriend, why did she ask me to save her just now?"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then began to explain: "It's really my girlfriend. I was just drunk and joking. Her name is Gu Jia. If you don't believe me, you can take a look at the ID in her bag!"

"Gu Jia?"

Han Tao listened to the other party's explanation and looked down at the woman in his arms again. She was a perfect wife and mother. She was indeed the Gu Jia in his impression, with a very slim figure and a very beautiful appearance.

Seeing Han Tao looking at the woman he had long coveted, and Gu Jia lying in his arms, looking ready to be picked, the middle-aged man felt his blood rushing up. He said anxiously:

"Have you finished reading this? My girlfriend is drunk and I need to help her get some rest!"

Looking at this greasy middle-aged man, Han Tao sneered and said jokingly:

"Are you sure she's your girlfriend? I met her husband yesterday. Can you tell me when she divorced Xu Huanshan?"

"Do you know Xu Huanshan?"

The middle-aged man was shocked, but he didn't want to give up the fat meat he had got. In addition, the effect of the aphrodisiac he had taken before came up, so he said angrily:

"I'm her friend and also her client. She volunteered to accompany me so that I could take care of their business. I advise you to stay out of her business or you might get into trouble!"

After saying that, the middle-aged man rushed towards Han Tao regardless of anything, intending to reach out and pull Gu Jia from his arms.

Han Tao held Gu Jia and leaned slightly to the side. The moment he passed by the middle-aged man, he stretched out his foot and tripped him. The middle-aged man fell heavily to the ground, like a toad.

Seeing the middle-aged man struggling to get up and turning his head to glare at Han Tao with a fierce and resentful expression, Han Tao unceremoniously extended his foot to shove it under him, then hooked his foot back and pinned his arm behind his back, saying:

"It seems I need to educate you on legal knowledge. According to Article 236 of my country's Criminal Law, anyone who forces a woman by violence, coercion or other means shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years.

Anyone who forces a girl under the age of fourteen shall be punished more severely. Anyone who forces a woman or a girl under the age of fourteen shall be sentenced to a fixed-term imprisonment of ten years or more, life imprisonment, or death penalty if the circumstances are serious.

After saying that, Han Tao pressed down on his knees, causing the middle-aged man to scream in pain:

"She volunteered, and I didn't do anything to her. Don't meddle in her business, or I'll make you pay for it!"

Seeing that the other party was glaring at him again, obviously not realizing his mistake, Han Tao increased his intensity and said:

"Whether it was voluntary or not, we'll know when the police arrive or when the lady wakes up. Then you won't have to be so stubborn!"

Seeing Han Tao talking about legal provisions all the time and intending to call the police, the middle-aged man was afraid that he would really get into trouble, so he threatened and argued:

"Let me go now! You're doing this intentionally. I'm going to sue you! I didn't do anything to her at all. How can you say I forced her?"

With a look of disdain at the middle-aged man who didn't cry until he saw the coffin, Han Tao continued:

"You didn't do what you wanted to do to her, not what you didn't do. Don't try to confuse the two concepts.

I'll be kind enough to explain this to you. There are two types of attempted coercion: attempted coercion that is eventually carried out and attempted rape that is not.

An attempted forced crime that has been completed means that the perpetrator has completed the act of committing the crime, but the crime has not succeeded due to reasons beyond the perpetrator's control.

An unfinished attempted coercion occurs when, during the course of carrying out the act, the perpetrator, due to the intervention of objective factors beyond their control, does not dare or is unable to complete the act, resulting in the crime not being successful.

Seeing that the middle-aged man had already begun to tremble before he had finished speaking, Han Tao gave him one last blow and said, "Do you know the punishment principle for attempted coercion?"

The man's face changed and he asked anxiously, "What is it? Who are you?"

"You'll know who I am when you get to the police station, but I can tell you that the punishment for attempted coercion is based on the same criteria as for a completed crime, which means it's essentially a crime of coercion."

After saying that, Han Tao took out his cell phone from his pocket and said:

"Do you have any questions? I'm going to report it to the police. If you have any questions, you need to go to the police station."

Seeing Han Tao actually pull out his phone to call the police, the middle-aged man was completely terrified. If this happened to his family or business partners, he would be completely finished. If he was caught at the police station, he might even face jail time.

Thinking of this, he quickly begged Han Tao for mercy, "Sir, I was wrong. Please spare my life. We have no grudges in the past or in the present. Please don't call the police. If others find out, I will be finished.

I can give you money, and I can also give you this woman, what a perfect wife, please consider it!"

Seeing the middle-aged man begging for mercy, Han Tao turned on the camera function. He wanted to record the other party's words and confession.

But after taking a look at Gu Jia, who was lying soft in his arms with hazy eyes, Han Tao looked at her and put a little force on his feet:

"Don't play tricks. Did the medicine you gave her have any side effects?"

Feeling the intense pain in his arm, the middle-aged man's mouth twitched twice, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"There are absolutely no side effects. This is the latest variety recommended by a friend. It will be fine after a good night's sleep, and it also has a pleasurable effect. You can play it without worry!"

"You're a fucking bastard!"

Han Tao wanted to destroy him directly, but reason made him calm down and said with disdain:

"Do you think everyone is a scumbag like you? You still can't forget those dirty thoughts at this time. You are simply shameless!"

"Yes, yes, I'm shameless and despicable! We can talk slowly if we have anything to say. Can you let me go first? I really can't stand it anymore!"

The middle-aged man had never suffered such torture before. He was sweating profusely from the pain and had no choice but to beg Han Tao to let him go.

Han Tao supported the shaky Gu Jia, looked at the middle-aged man at his feet and asked:
