"Tell me, why did she come here to see you? What's going on between you?"
"I said, I said!"
The middle-aged man quickly replied, "I'm a big customer of their fireworks company, and I asked her to come today to discuss cooperation.
A friend and I have always been interested in her, but she doesn't appreciate it, so I decided to use some tricks.
I had originally planned to wait until she woke up tomorrow to give her all the orders from our company. Anyway, the matter is done, and she cares so much about that nerd Xu Huanshan, so for the sake of the family, she won't make a fuss! "
Han Tao stepped on his feet again and said, "It seems you are quite experienced. This shouldn't be your first time doing something like this, right?"
"No, no, really not. A friend asked me to try it out first. This is my first time, seriously! Ouch, it hurts!"
Han Tao thought for a moment, then continued, "It seems like today is God's will. If I hadn't caught you, you would have ruined such a good wife.
Although I really want to send you, a scumbag, to jail right now, but considering the wishes of the person involved, I can just call the police and not file a lawsuit against you. I can decide what to do with you after the person wakes up.
However, I recorded everything you said, and the video footage was also captured by the camera. Whether it's a settlement or a lawsuit, it depends on the parties involved. You're on your own!"
Hearing Han Tao say this, the middle-aged man knew that there was still hope. It all depended on Gu Jia's attitude, so he tried to test her:
"Then what do you say we should do? She won't wake up anytime soon!"
Han Tao gave him a disgusted look, pulled his foot back from his back, and said, "I've already called the police. You'll have to spend the night at the police station. As for the outcome, we'll decide after she wakes up. You'd better figure out how to resolve this."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man quickly begged Han Tao for mercy, "Friend, I'm screwed today. Don't wait for the police to come. Let's settle this privately. Just tell me how much you want.
Gu Jia is also doing this for business, and she has a family and children. She came to see me today without telling her husband Xu Huanshan. This is not good for her reputation. Even if you don't care, Gu Jia is a married woman with a family and children, so it's impossible for her to care! "
"Can I understand that you are threatening me?"
Han Tao stared at the man with cold eyes, feeling somewhat helpless. What he said was not unreasonable. He had not received any commission and therefore could not make decisions on his own.
This kind of case requires consideration of her wishes. Han Tao has come across many such cases. If he fails to handle them properly, it would be a case of good intentions leading to bad results.
"No, I didn't mean that. How about this? I can turn myself in and go to the police station with the police, but please wait until Gu Jia wakes up before deciding what to do, okay?"
"Okay, wait here for me, I'll talk to the police later."
After that, Han Tao swiped his card to open the door, entered his room, put the unconscious Gu Jia on the bed, and then called the hotel front desk:
"Hello, please call the security and manager over here. There are some things here that need their attention."
"Yes, the manager and security are coming. Please lead the way when the police arrive."
"Okay, please get me another room and ask a waitress to come to my room. I need your help!"
"Okay, one or two people is fine with me, but it's mainly the female waiters. There's a female friend here who's drunk, and we need their help taking care of her!"
.....................
Chapter 9 Gu Jia's Recognition
The next day, early in the morning, the sun shone on a huge double bed. Gu Jia held her forehead with her hand and slowly woke up from her sleep.
She opened her eyes and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling. Her memory of last night gradually became clear. She was drugged by her partner Li Zhengzhi. She managed to escape and then asked a stranger for help. Then she lost all memory.
Thinking of this, she suddenly sat up, lifted the quilt, and found that she was no longer wearing the skirt she wore yesterday, but a white shirt, and the underwear underneath the shirt was gone.
Gu Jia lowered her head again to check her clothes, and her face turned pale with fright. She got out of bed in a daze, looked around, and found that the room was empty, and her personal belongings were all on the table in the living room.
Gu Jia, who couldn't bear to accept the fact, squatted on the ground, tears streaming down her face. The other party was her client, and she came to the hotel in the middle of the night to drink with her client. Who would believe that she was innocent?
Moreover, after one night, all traces had been cleaned up. She couldn't explain herself clearly even if she called the police now. Moreover, she couldn't tell anyone about this matter. After all, she was a married woman and had a husband and children of her own.
If what happened last night were to get out, not only would he lose his reputation and innocence, but his happy family would also be burned to ashes.
I thought that since we were partners of many years, he shouldn't dare to do anything even if he wanted to spy on me.
I never expected that the other party would be so unscrupulous and actually use such despicable means.
And there was that man who looked so righteous. I clearly asked him for help, but he just watched me die without helping. It turns out that all men are bad!
Just when Gu Jia was feeling sorry for herself, full of regret and sadness, Han Tao pushed the door open and walked in, holding the neatly folded red dress in his hand.
He looked at Gu Jia, who was crying bitterly, and asked, "Miss Gu, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Han Tao come in and hearing his voice, Gu Jia already knew that this was the person she had asked for help yesterday, so her expression changed slightly and she said, "How dare you come back? What do you want?"
After saying that, Gu Jia stared at Han Tao fiercely. She thought Han Tao was planning to use what happened yesterday to get other things from her, such as money.
Han Tao put the clothes in front of Gu Jia and asked puzzledly: "This is the room I booked, and you asked me for help, why shouldn't I dare to come back?
As for what you said about wanting to do something, I don't quite understand what you meant. Is there any misunderstanding? I came here to give you some clothes and to see if you were awake.
Looking at the clothes in front of her, Gu Jia felt aggrieved. Her preconceived notions prevented her from distinguishing right from wrong. Instead, she raised her hand tremblingly and pointed at Han Tao, saying:
"Is this the room you booked? I get it, you're Li Zhengzhi's accomplice, right? You hooligans, scum, beasts in human clothing!"
Han Tao glanced at Gu Jia, who was pale and cursing non-stop, and said hesitantly, "Ms. Gu, do you have any misunderstandings?
I taught that guy a lesson last night. I was planning to call the police, but considering your wishes as the person involved, I stopped him.
But you were completely unconscious, and you looked quite uncomfortable, so I carried you to the room I booked..."
"Stop talking about that. You actually said you'd consider my wishes?"
Seeing Han Tao say such shameless words in a serious manner, Gu Jia could no longer suppress her inner anger and grievance. She interrupted his narration and threw herself at Han Tao crying:
"I didn't expect you to be the most shameless person. You even consider my wishes? You think it's fun to snatch prey from others, right?"
Hearing her say this, Han Tao finally understood. While controlling the somewhat frantic Gu Jia, he began to explain:
"Miss Gu, please calm down. Things are not what you think...!"
"Let me go, I'm going to call the police and have you all arrested, you beast!"
Gu Jia, whose eyes had been blinded by impulse and grief, hysterically interrupted Han Tao before he could finish speaking. Now she no longer believed any explanation.
Forced into a corner, Han Tao could only hug her tighter, tying her hands, and explained:
"Li Zhengzhi has been arrested. Calm down and listen to what I have to say before you start making trouble."
After saying that, regardless of her struggles, Han Tao just hugged her tightly and explained what happened last night, including how he asked the hotel waiter to help change her into clean clothes and wash her.
"You...are you telling the truth?"
Feeling Gu Jia in his arms, her emotions stabilized and she gradually calmed down. Han Tao continued:
"Of course it's true. If you don't believe it, you can check the hotel's surveillance. You and I were only in the room for a few minutes.
I carried you into the room and called the front desk. The waiter came over soon. They changed your clothes. I booked a separate room next door.
They just accompanied me here. The room card is at the front desk. I came in just to see if you were awake and to tell you about the situation!"
After hearing Han Tao's explanation, Gu Jia gradually relaxed. Thinking about the surveillance cameras in the hotel, she began to believe it halfway.
After calming down, she sensed the ambiguous gestures between the two, so she blushed and said:
"Okay, I believe I woke you up, please let me go!"
Hearing this, Han Tao let go of Gu Jia and looked at the bite marks on his arm and said:
"Is Miss Gu born in the Year of the Dog? She was so gentle and lovely last night, but how come she's gone crazy after a good night's sleep? She attacked without even figuring out the truth. It's really hard to be a good person!"
Gu Jia glanced at her masterpiece sheepishly, then gradually regained her usual composure and said gently:
"I'm sorry, sir. I was a little too excited just now. Thank you for saving me. It must be very painful. How about this, let's go to the hospital and bandage it!"
"No need, I understand how you feel. No one would be able to accept this kind of thing for a while.
But we are all adults, so it is essential to stay calm when encountering things. At the very least, we should understand the situation before getting angry! "
At this point, Han Tao extended his hand to Gu Jia and continued, "Let me formally introduce myself. I'm Han Tao, a lawyer from Mingtang Law Firm. I recorded all of that man's crimes yesterday, including his personal admission of drugging him.
I also called the police to arrest him and made a statement as a certified lawyer. If you plan to sue me, I can provide you with evidence."
Hearing this, Gu Jia pondered for a moment, and after considering the pros and cons, she replied, "No need, Lawyer Han, thank you for helping me yesterday!
This matter has a huge impact, so I'd better talk to him first. If we can't reach an agreement, I'll ask you to help.
Of course, thanks to your help this time, I will pay your lawyer's fees, even if it is just a way to thank you for saving my life!"
"It's not that serious. You're welcome, Miss Gu. This is what I should do as a lawyer and an ordinary person with a conscience. It's just a small favor!"
"Lawyer Han, this may not mean much to you, but it's very important to me, and I just injured you. If you don't want to charge, I'll treat you to a meal. I have to express my gratitude anyway!"
Gu Jia regained her composure and looked at the handsome man in front of her, his expensive clothes, and the luxury brand watch on his wrist. She thought to herself that such a young and wealthy man should not be short of women. As a middle-aged mother, she had no reason to do this.
What's more, the other party is a lawyer by profession, so it is impossible for him to break the law knowingly. It seems that I was really carried away just now.
"Okay, Miss Gu, let's have dinner together when we have time. As for what happened yesterday, I respect your choice.
If you need any help, you can contact me at any time. Whether it is civil mediation or litigation, I can help you! "
"Well, I'll consider it, Lawyer Han. Thank you so much. Let's add each other on WeChat and leave each other our phone numbers.
My thoughts are still a little confused right now, I'll think it over later, and I'll definitely call you if I need your help!"
Gu Jia sincerely bowed to Han Tao to express her gratitude!
After knowing her situation, Gu Jia felt a little confused and regretted not realizing Li Zhengzhi's evil ambitions last night.
In addition, she also felt a little resentful towards her husband Xu Huanshan! Xu Huanshan was supposed to have attended the business negotiations last night.
But Xu Huanshan acted like a child again. After a few words, he ran to the factory and said that he wanted to develop new types of fireworks and would not be home for a few days, so he asked her to take care of it.

...............
At 7:40 in the morning, Han Tao, who had been chatting with Gu Jia for half an hour, left the room.
Then I bought breakfast and went to call Xu Jie. After dinner, the two of us drove straight to the Central Building in Lujiazui.
On the way, the two of them analyzed Chen Wenguang's case, talked about their next work plan, and laughed all the way.
After chatting in the car last night, Han Tao and Xu Jie became familiar with each other and their feelings were heating up!
…………
Chapter 10 Xu Jie, the Sober One
At 8:50 in the morning, Han Tao and Xu Jie entered Mingtang Law Firm in Building B of the Central Building together. Amid the greetings from everyone, the two walked into the office area with the wind.
"Good morning, Han Yu, do you have a minute?"
"Good morning, Lawyer Song!"
Looking at Song Xiu, who was walking towards him with a smile on his face, Han Tao asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"Oh, Director Li just told you to come to his office when you arrive."
"Okay, thank you, Lawyer Song. I'll be right there."
Han Tao stopped and said a few words to Xu Jie. Then the two waved to each other, and he turned and went directly to Director Li Gongming's office.
Arriving at the door, Han Tao knocked on it and asked:
"Director, you're looking for me..."
Li Gongming asked and looked up. Seeing that it was Han Tao, he stood up and said, "Han Lu, here you are. Come and sit down."
"Thank you, Director. Is there anything you want me to do?"
Han Tao sat down on the sofa and asked politely.
Li Gongming smiled and replied, "It's like this, Han Lu, I have two things to discuss with you. One is that the person you mentioned yesterday has arrived and the onboarding procedures have been completed.
She is now going to familiarize herself with the law firm. You have worked together for so long and know each other better, so the issue of recruiting drivers was directly handed over to her.
The second question is about Xu Jie. I fully agree that she wants to be your trainee lawyer. Having you guide her will also help me worry less. However, her main job is to support Chen Ran. I'm worried that you don't have enough people to help you, so I asked the administrative department to select two for you.
Then you can decide whether it’s suitable for you. If you think it’s okay, let them learn something from you and run some errands for you!
