under the vortex

Chapter 167

At noon the next day, Lu Maowang knocked on the door of Mr. Wang's house with two empty buckets.

The old man opened the door and saw that it was Lu Maowang, he put one hand on the door and asked him, "Is there something wrong, Xiao Lu?"

When he was on the boat, the old man saw Lu Maowang's selfish and indifferent temperament, and he didn't want to have any contact with such a person.

"It's okay, I'll bring water to your upstairs neighbor, pass by your house, and stop by to see you." Seeing that the old man didn't intend to invite him in, Lu Maowang didn't care, and still stood at the door chatting with him.

Mr. Wang didn't know the purpose of the other party's visit, so he looked at him and said, "I'm still like that, I think you can resist the water, are your injuries all healed?"

Lu Maowang bent his arms and stretched out his muscles: "Good morning, although I am a person with an average brain, my body is very good, and the doctors think it's unbelievable."

Mr. Wang said lightly: "That's good."

"By the way, old man, when I opened the shop today, I saw your grandson taking a taxi at the gate of the community. His hand seemed to be wrapped in bandages. Is this an injury?"

Mr. Wang paused, not knowing why he suddenly asked this, nodded and said, "Well, he accidentally fell off his motorcycle."

"Oh, yes, it seems that this motorcycle is quite dangerous. Did your grandson often fall down while driving?"

Seeing his strange expression, Mr. Wang frowned: "What do you want to say?"

Lu Maowang glanced around and said in a low voice, "Don't you find it strange?"

"What's strange?"

Lu Maowang came over and said, "Didn't you find out that anyone who has anything to do with Jia Wenjun is unlucky? You see, as soon as she landed, her parents had accidents one after another. Now your grandson is helping her and being the defense lawyer for her, and he is also injured." , I think she has done too many bad things, God will accept her, whoever helps her will be unlucky."

Mr. Wang was annoyed: "What nonsense are you talking about! My grandson is not her defense lawyer, he is a trainee lawyer, just an errand, what does it matter to him?"

"Hey, why are you in a hurry? That's what I said. Did you think about it yourself? You and I have been on the boat and know how cunning and ruthless Jia Wenjun is, but your grandson doesn't know it. Young people, what are you doing? It’s a good thing to live vigorously, but it’s not worthwhile for these wicked people to suffer retribution, right?”

Mr. Wang lowered his face: "Do you know something about my grandson's injury?"

Seeing that Mr. Wang doubted him, Lu Maowang hurriedly said: "Don't be ignorant of good people. Let me tell you, I didn't say it myself. Now the whole community is saying that. If you don't believe me, go out and ask. Your upstairs neighbor, They were still talking when I went up to deliver water just now. I just wanted to remind you because we all lived and died together on the same boat, if you don’t listen, you will be dragged down.”

After Lu Maowang finished speaking, he turned around and left. Mr. Wang closed the door with a dark face.

After sitting at home for a long time, he was still out of breath, so he went out for a walk.The neighborhood was full of gossips, he wandered out of the neighborhood, and unknowingly walked to the entrance of the pet hospital.

In this community, he was willing to chat with Baima Mountain.Seeing that there were not many people inside, he opened the door and walked in.

The clerk came up to meet him, and the old man waved his hands: "You guys are busy with your own work, I'll go find your Dean Bai."

As he said that, he went up to the second floor by himself.

Baimashan was having lunch, saw the old man coming, and hurriedly greeted him: "It was just delivered, let's have some together?"

The old man waved his hand and sat down by himself: "I ate it, you eat yours, I just came here for a walk when I have nothing to do, didn't I delay you?"

"There are not many people today, and besides, it is not my turn to go to work. Let's drink tea and chat here." Bai Mashan fastened the lunch box, got up and made a pot of Liu'an Guapian: "Taste my new tea."

The old man took a sip from his cup, nodded and said, "Not bad."

After a pause, the old man couldn't hold back, and asked, "Have you heard any rumors about Jia Wenjun recently?"

"What rumor?" Baimashan asked back.

Mr. Wang remembered that his grandson told him not to talk about Jia Wenjun with others outside, and he swallowed the words again: "It's nothing, it's all gossip."

Baimashan took a sip: "I have indeed heard some gossip. They were all talked about by the owners of pets in the community when they came, but these things are all speculation. You said that when Jia Wenjun just landed, her father was killed by a car. I bumped into it, it was an accident. The next day her mother said in the hospital that she had bumped into a ghost and got burned. You said that the ghost came out, isn’t it nonsense. But these two old people are very pitiful, one after another He was injured, and he is still being raised at home, so it’s no good.”

Although what Baimashan said meant accidents, but for some reason, after listening to Mr. Wang, his thoughts became heavier.

Mr. Wang was only upset when he heard Lu Maowang's words before, but now after hearing Baimashan's words, he finally started to worry.

This matter was related to his grandson. After Mr. Wang came out of the pet hospital, he hesitated and called Liu Lv.

When the phone was connected, there was some noise on Liu Lu's side. Mr. Wang asked, "Xiao Liu, are you busy? If you are busy, I won't bother you for now."

Liu Lu hurriedly said, "I'm not busy, old man, I'm in the hospital now."

The old man frowned when he heard about the hospital: "Where is your client in the hospital?"

"No, I was scalded by coffee on the back of my hand in the office just now, come here and check."

Mr. Wang thumped in his heart. Liu Lv is the main lawyer in charge of Jia Wenjun's case. He is also injured now?
"How's your arm? Is it serious?"

Liu Lu said with a smile: "It's okay old man, I've already checked it, take the ointment and apply it for a few days, and new skin will probably grow."

The old man was anxious: "Why are you so careless?"

Liu Lv was also speechless when talking about this matter: "I am also innocent. Just now, a girl at the front desk in the office brought in a cup of coffee. She accidentally sprained her foot, and the coffee spilled out and burned the back of my hand. By the way, old man, what are you looking for?" Is there something wrong with me?"

"I... ask Xiaopeng how his work is doing recently."

When it comes to Wu Peng, Liu Lu's tone is much more relaxed: "Xiao Peng has been very motivated recently. He is familiar with the legal provisions every day when he has free time. He always asks questions if he doesn't understand. He really learned a lot from Jia Wenjun's case. Less things. I can see Xiaopeng's changes. It can be said that he is completely different from before. Now the whole law firm looks at him with admiration. If he continues to maintain this momentum, in a few days In a few months, you can become a real lawyer."

Hearing this, the old man was naturally relieved. After all, his grandson, who had always wanted to change careers, was finally willing to bend down and do a good job, but he was worried about what would happen if Wu Peng continued to follow.

"Xiao Liu, can you let Xiaopeng take charge of other cases first? Leave Jia Wenjun's matter to others." Before he said this, he was fighting with drug dealers in Wu Peng, and he mentioned it to Liu Lu when he was injured for the first time. , Now mentioning it again, he can only use the reason that Wu Peng has been too devoted to this matter recently, and was injured while driving yesterday. He feels sorry for his grandson.

Liu Lu persuaded the old man for a while, and finally said: "Xiaopeng has grown a lot because of this case, I actually really want him to follow, but since you are so worried, then I will let him take charge of other cases when I go back. .”
