Hu Qiang's Decision

In a corner of a cafe near the Ode to Joy community.

"It's what it is, it's what it is."

"So, Lawyer Guo, if I want to formally divorce now, what should I do?"

After listening to Hu Qiang's detailed explanation, the young male lawyer opposite named Guo Shengyang pursed his lips, nodded, then crossed his hands into fists and smiled slightly.

"Well, Mr. Hu, I have a general understanding of your situation. In fact, this matter is not difficult. If it is true, as you said, that the other party has been missing for more than four years, then if you want a divorce, it will not be a big problem, but..."

"But what?" Hu Qiang asked quickly.

Guo Shengyang smiled and said: "But I still have a few questions to ask... Don't get me wrong, these questions I asked are all questions that the judge will definitely ask when going to court, so it's better to ask them clearly in advance, that's fine. Be prepared early.”

Hu Qiang nodded: "No problem, you can ask. I have nothing to hide."

Guo Shengyang smiled again, and then said seriously: "What I want to ask is, your wife ran away from home at that time, and it has been so long now. Have you ever gone to the police and reported her missing?"

Hu Qiang was stunned, he really didn’t know.

Fortunately, he is a soul traveler and has inherited the memory of his predecessor. However, that part of the memory of his predecessor is sealed in a corner. If he does not deliberately search for it, he will usually not jump out of it.

Therefore, as long as you search consciously, you can still find that part of the memory.

Of course, because the human brain is different from computers, most long-term memories will be lost, so only those memories that are deeply impressive can be found. Those that are not impressive are often forgotten. This is also a self-protection mechanism of the brain.

Fortunately, the incident of his wife running away from home was an unforgettable event for the predecessor, so using this incident as an anchor, it is easy to search for relevant memories.

After searching carefully, Hu Qiang finally found that memory that was already slightly blurry.

The reason why it is blurry is because the memory is not clear and I can only know it roughly, but the specific context is still very clear.

"Have!"

Hu Qiang opened his eyes after seeing that memory.

Then, just when Hu Qiang was about to tell Lawyer Guo that dusty memory, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Eh? Lao Hu? Is it really you?"

Hu Qiang was stunned, quickly turned his head, and then saw Ye Zhenzhen dressed in sportswear.

"Ye Zhenzhen?" Hu Qiang stood up with a surprised look on his face, "Is it you? Why are you here? Aren't you accompanying your parents?"

Ye Zhenzhen blinked: "Ah, um, that's it. After I went back, I got along with them...well, it was a bit unpleasant, so I just went out to relax."

Hu Qiang was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said: "Ah, you can't stand their nagging, and you want to avoid them in order to be clean, right?"

"Yes! Haha." Ye Zhenzhen laughed, "That's it."

Then, Ye Zhenzhen continued: "Well, after I came out, I wanted to come here to have a drink and kill some time. I didn't expect to meet you. What a coincidence."

"Yes." Hu Qiang didn't think much and nodded with a smile, "What a coincidence."

"That's it." Ye Zhenzhen laughed again, "What a coincidence!"

It certainly wasn't such a coincidence.

The truth is that after Ye Zhenzhen left home, she quickly called her cousin Ye Fang.

And Ye Fang has always been a little afraid of his cousin, who of course he calls his favorite sister.

Anyway, no matter what, when Ye Zhenzhen asked him directly where he was, Ye Fang quickly told Ye Zhenzhen the address.

As for Ye Fang, he had actually been following Hu Qiang for a long time and also entered the cafe, but he was just monitoring from another corner.

Now that Ye Zhenzhen is here, she not only sees her brother, but also Hu Qiang.

However, Hu Qiang had his back to them and had been explaining the case to Lawyer Guo, so he didn't know about Ye Zhenzhen's arrival.

Then, after Ye Zhenzhen met Ye Fang, she warned him not to meddle in his own business.

Originally, after Ye Zhenzhen warned Ye Fang, she wanted to take Ye Fang away directly.

But Ye Fang's words made her quickly change her mind.

"Don't you want to know why he wants a divorce?"

It was after hearing this sentence that Ye Zhenzhen's curiosity was completely aroused.Of course, besides curiosity, she felt like there was something else coming out of her, but she couldn't tell specifically.

Anyway, it’s very confusing and heart-wrenching.

So, Ye Zhenzhen continued to drive away her cousin Ye Fang, and then she calmed down her mood, pretending to meet Hu Qiang by chance, and came to see Hu Qiang.

By coincidence, when she came to see Hu Qiang, Hu Qiang had just finished stating the case to Lawyer Guo and had just finished searching his past memories. He was in a state of recalling past events, so his alertness naturally dropped a lot.

Speaking of which, after Ye Zhenzhen said haha, she immediately said: "Actually, when I saw your back just now, I thought you looked like you, but I didn't expect it was really you."

Speaking of this, Ye Zhenzhen seemed to have just noticed Lawyer Guo who had stood up, and asked with a smile: "Hey, this gentleman is a bit unfamiliar. Old Hu, is he your friend?"

Hu Qiang was stunned and said quickly: "Ah, let me introduce you. This is Guo Shengyang, lawyer Guo."

"Hello." Lawyer Guo smiled quickly, bent down and stretched out his hand, "Guo Shengyang, a young lawyer, please give me some advice."

"Hello, hello." Ye Zhenzhen quickly shook hands with the other party.

Soon, Ye Zhenzhen asked Hu Qiang deliberately: "Huh? Okay, why did you find a lawyer?"

Hu Qiang frowned slightly: "Well, um... I'll ask a lawyer for some advice."

"Want to ask something?"

Ye Zhenzhen deliberately looked suspicious.

"I don't think it's that simple, right? You are an honest office worker, what matters do you need to consult a lawyer for?

Wait, are you running into some trouble?
Do you want me to help? "

"No, no, no!" Hu Qiang waved his hands and smiled dryly, "It's a small matter, no need to bother."

Seeing Hu Qiang's expression, Ye Zhenzhen immediately narrowed her eyes and made an "I understand" expression:

"Ah, privacy? Can't tell?
Okay, I'll leave first. You guys can chat slowly. If you really need my help later, just let me know.

My good friend and neighbor, you helped me before and I haven’t thanked you yet.

If you are really in trouble, you must tell me and give me a chance to repay you. Otherwise, it will be very uncomfortable if you don't repay the favor! "

Hu Qiang nodded quickly: "Absolutely, definitely next time!"

Hearing this, Ye Zhenzhen frowned, then turned around and prepared to leave.

When Hu Qiang saw Ye Zhenzhen turn around and leave, he immediately waved his hand and said with a smile: "Slow down."

Unexpectedly, Ye Zhenzhen suddenly stopped and turned around, frowning at Hu Qiang and saying, "Old Hu, are you really letting me go?"

"Ah?" Hu Qiang was slightly stunned, as if he hadn't turned around yet and didn't know what she meant.

Ye Zhenzhen simply walked back to Hu Qiang and said:
"No, I thought about it again and again. You are too honest. I probably have never had contact with a lawyer before, so don't be fooled.

In this way, I will accompany you so that I can serve as your adviser.

After all, I have done this before, so I have some experience. At least I know the market price in this field.

Therefore, with me here, I can help you save some lawyer fees, and save you, a novice, from being raped without even realizing it. "

Speaking of this, Ye Zhenzhen didn't look at Hu Qiang, but looked at Guo Shengyang and asked with a smile: "Lawyer Guo, do you mind if I'm here to listen?"

Lawyer Guo blinked, then smiled and shook his head: "Of course I don't mind, as long as Mr. Hu doesn't mind."

Ye Zhenzhen immediately looked at Hu Qiang: "Old Hu, can I be a spectator?"

Hu Qiang scratched his head: "This, that..."

"That's it!" Ye Zhenzhen said suddenly.

Then, while Hu Qiang was still in a daze, Ye Zhenzhen suddenly sat on the chair next to Hu Qiang, then called the waiter and ordered a cup of espresso.

After finishing her coffee, Ye Zhenzhen looked at Hu Qiang and Lawyer Guo who were still standing.

"What are you standing for? Sit down? Don't you need to consult a lawyer if you have something? Continue?" (End of Chapter)
