Soul Patch

Chapter 62 Where to See Him

Huang Dongheng got home very late from the company.

His security door was equipped with a combination lock. After entering the password, the electronic lock beeped three times, and the security door opened.

Apart from those few dripping sounds, there was no other sound; the dark room was eerily quiet.

His house was only slightly dustier than when he left home that morning.

Before Huang Weiwei moved out, the room was noisy and crowded, with all sorts of things Huang Weiwei had casually left out everywhere:

From small items like hair clips, fridge magnets, bracelets, and rings, to large items like suitcases and all sorts of oddly styled clothes.

Occasionally, my younger sister would have a change of heart and cook soup for me.

When he returns home late, a bowl of hot soup instantly washes away the fatigue from the day's battles of wits and words in the arena of fame and fortune.

Why am I feeling so sad today?

Perhaps sensing the impermanence of life, a young boy was crushed to death just like that!

The boy was still on the phone when the billboard fell and crushed the phone he was holding.

After being hit, the boy died instantly from a head injury, rather than from blood loss due to other injuries.

So the boy may never know what happened until he dies.

Huang Dongheng took out a box of Mengniu milk from the refrigerator, poured it into a glass, and heated it in the microwave for five minutes. He then took out some bread and ham and ate a simple late-night snack.

He went to the study and began to carefully study the materials he had obtained from Leading Law Firm.

Wang Fan was an employee of the Sixth Branch of the ** Bureau. On the day of the incident, Wang Fan was eating in the canteen when he suddenly and without warning stabbed his chopsticks into his throat, causing blood to flow back into his lungs and choking him to death.

The manner of their deaths was horrific and bizarre!

There is reportedly a case abroad where someone stabbed themselves in the throat with chopsticks and died.

But in a place like M City, where have you ever seen anything so bizarre? It caused quite a stir, and many unscrupulous tabloids even exaggerated the story.

There were all sorts of rumors, like witchcraft killings or female ghosts seeking revenge.

In her statement, Wang Fan's mother, Ruan Wenli, who is also the client in the case, mentioned that her son has a habit of sucking on his chopsticks while eating. This habit was formed when he was a child, and nothing has happened to him over the years.

Therefore, she firmly believed that her son had been misled by an online shop owner.

She visited every law firm in M ​​City, but the case had been thrust into the spotlight by the media and public opinion, and no law firm was willing to take it on.

Dongheng Law Firm was actually the first to receive Ruan Wenli. At the time, Huang Dongheng was on a business trip, and his assistant politely declined her request to represent him.

At that time, the competition between Dongheng Law Firm and Linghang Law Firm was fierce. Dongheng Law Firm, a rising star, was able to quickly close the gap with the industry leader Linghang Law Firm in just a few years, until it could be on par with it in M ​​City. This achievement was hard-won.

We must not let this controversial case cause us to lose everything.

As a result, the lead company took on the case, lost it, ruined its reputation in the industry, and lost more than 50% of its clients.

Dongheng Law Firm seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to accelerate its expansion. With so many cases that they couldn't handle them all, they recruited a large number of intern lawyers and legal assistants.

As far as I remember, Bai Mengyao joined Dongheng around that time!

Uh... why did I think of her?

Huang Dongheng turned to the last page of the case file, closed the document, and put it on the desk.

When I'm focused on reading the materials, I don't feel it, but when I stop, I feel a sore back and aching buttocks that ache slightly when I sit in the chair.

He got up wearily, stretched his arms and yawned, rubbed his sore eyes, and let out a series of yawns...

I'm really exhausted!

A few years ago, when he took on a difficult case, he would work with his legal team for several nights in a row to figure out countermeasures and defense strategies.

He rotated his shoulders; he had been a bit tired these past few days, and his frozen shoulder had flared up again.

My shoulders started to ache after holding the documents for a while.

I was just looking at Wang Fan's case, so why did I suddenly think of Bai Mengyao?

Bai Mengyao!

It's time to talk to her. He needs to have a serious relationship, and this house needs a female owner.

Bai Mengyao is actually great in every way, but her lack of security makes her a bit clingy.

Of course, these were not the reasons why Huang Dongheng rejected her.

Huang Dongheng rejected her because he didn't feel any spark.

Love is a strange thing. Some people are instantly attracted to someone at first sight, while others can go a lifetime without ever wanting to get involved.

Bai Mengyao belongs to the latter category.

If Bai Mengyao hadn't actively seduced him and used all sorts of methods, his relationship with her would probably have been just that of a boss and his hired lawyer.

Huang Dongheng made it clear to Bai Mengyao several times that there was no future for them and that she should stop being so persistent.

It will only make the other person clingier and more obsessed.

Over the course of three years, Huang Dongheng lost several opportunities for romance because of Bai Mengyao.

He didn't want to miss out on Yang Shanshan this time.

After thinking about it, he sent Bai Mengyao a WeChat message: Let's talk tomorrow!

Soon, he finished washing up and lay down on the bed, recalling the website under an overseas name that he had found by using some unconventional methods when investigating Jia Nan.

He clicked on the website, found an account that his assistant no longer used, and left a message for the shop owner named "Midnight Carnival".

Opening the dialog box, I found the consultation history still quietly displayed at the top.

"Does midnight revelry sell happiness?"

"Only secrets are sold; if the secret is joyful, then joy is obtained..."

When Huang Dongheng requisitioned this account, the account name was "Fashionable Little Beauty".

Huang Dongheng thought for a moment about his assistant's plain face, then smiled slightly.

He changed his account name to "Curiosity Killed the Cat," a name that was cringeworthy enough to grab Jia Nan's attention.

During my last consultation, I successfully received a reply from Jia Nan.

To make himself look more convincing as a tourist, he asked for the price and then ran away.

Is love for sale?

……

The two grown men exchanged their views on love in a strange way.

When Jia Nan saw the word "love," he was momentarily stunned. How could someone like him dare to hope for such a thing?

However, his thoughts still drifted to Huang Weiwei, to the point that when he leaned against the railing and looked out, he even thought about making up for the bakery's losses.

Unbeknownst to them, Huang Weiwei was also awake at this time.

The night was gentle, and the moonlight was like water.

The two girls were squeezed together on the bed. Yang Shanshan was wearing a yellow suspender dress. Even with the straps pulled up to their longest length, it was still a bit short. Her long, white legs stretched out freely in the silvery moonlight.

She was sleeping soundly, her breathing even, as if she were in the middle of a sweet dream.

This is the first time Huang Weiwei has ever had insomnia in her life!

She thought she wouldn't be able to sleep because of the bakery, but she didn't!

She has insomnia because of Jia Nan!

Before the incident, she could confidently go to the store and boss Jia Nan around.

As long as Jia Nan was within her sight, her sweet longing had a place to rest.

Now, where is she supposed to see Jia Nan?
