Death sentence turned into acquittal? Who told him to be a detective!

Chapter 123 Guilty Feelings! [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]

Who was that boy outside just now?
Yang Ruoxi felt increasingly guilty and shrank her neck.

But then I thought about it.

'No, why should I feel guilty?'

'That unscrupulous boss hasn't paid a single penny of wages yet. He's as thick-skinned as a city wall and has no guilty conscience whatsoever, so why should I be the one feeling guilty first?!'

Thinking like this.

The neck that had just been pulled back immediately straightened.

Yang Ruoxi said, "He is my boss."

Say it.

She added two more sentences fiercely.

"He's so awful, Mom! I'm telling you, his name is Xu Liang. He exploits me every day and doesn't treat me like a human being!"

Yang Jing looked enlightened, sat down next to her daughter, and asked with a smile.

"So, the other day, you were running around everywhere because of him?"

Yang Ruoxi nodded and began to pour out her mother's grievances.

"Yes, he and I worked on a case for someone else for a full five months, and then, Mom, guess what happened!?"

"I haven't received a single penny of my salary."

Speaking of this matter.

Yang Ruoxi was so angry she wanted to bite her teeth.

Even oxen and horses aren't this awesome; including gas costs, they're essentially paying for their own commutes.
Hear the words.

Knowing her daughter's temperament well, Yang Jing wasn't angry. Instead, she smiled and spoke gently:
"Isn't that illegal?"

"Little Lamb, call your father."

"He works at the Supreme Court. He can resolve these labor disputes with just one phone call. We'll make him bankrupt!"

Go bankrupt?

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruoxi's face turned pale, and she quickly said:

"No need, no need. Actually, it's normal for me not to have a salary."

Her tone softened, and she looked at her mother humbly, forcing a smile:
"I wasn't his employee at the time, I didn't have a contract, so I shouldn't have been paid."

"Besides, he was facing financial difficulties at the time, and asking him to pay me my wages would have been putting him in a really difficult position."

"He only litigates charitable cases; his income is completely disproportionate to his efforts, so..."

She anxiously began to refute what she had said earlier.

And indeed, it was just as he said.

This takes into account both the written agreement and the client's financial situation.

otherwise
One person was not criminally liable for murder, while the other was sentenced to three years' imprisonment with a three-year suspended sentence for killing three people.
When you go to the upper town, there are tons of people eager to give you money, starting at least a million!
They didn't care what methods Xu Liang used; all they knew was that they desperately needed a lawyer like him!

If Xu Liang didn't have any morals to be their lawyer, how could he possibly be worried about money?
and so.

In a sense, Xu Liang truly has a conscience!

"Oh."

Yang Jing found it amusing to see her daughter's left brain refuting the right brain's words.

"Then we won't sue him."

Seeing this, Yang Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief. She was a little afraid that her words might affect Xu Liang.

but
Yang Jing suddenly added:

"Then aren't you just eagerly going to be someone's slave?"

The words fell.

Yang Ruoxi's expression suddenly froze.

Yang Jing covered her lips and laughed, "Little Sheep, if you were in my time, do you know what to say?"

Before she could answer, Yang Jing spoke again:

"That's called paying extra!"

"You even gave the car back to him."

Hear the words.

Yang Ruoxi was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, "I borrowed it from him!"

"Hmm, why don't you lend it to your brother?" Yang Jing asked with a smile.

"My car is a sedan, and someone as big as him can only sit sideways in the back seat!"

Yang Ruoxi anxiously tried to explain.

Yang Jing stopped talking and just looked at her and laughed.

Yang Ruoxi felt uneasy looking at that smile, but she didn't know why she felt uneasy. In the end, she became angry out of embarrassment.

"You're so annoying!"

Yang Jing smiled and said:

"I am going tocook."

"I'll call your dad tonight to talk about this."

Yang Ruoxi's spirits lifted.

This is not a place for casual conversation!

If Lao Wang knew that he had added Xu Liang's law firm, and the other party found the name Xu Liang familiar, then they would do a quick search.
The Supreme Court found out that the daughter was working for a shrew?

Yang Ruoxi's face turned bright red as she looked at her mother in disbelief.

"Could we not say?" she said awkwardly.

Yang Jing smiled without saying anything and then went into the kitchen.

Yang Ruoxi felt anxious, but she couldn't catch up with the other person and limped behind.

"Shh!"

The kitchen door was closed.

Yang Ruoxi pressed her ear against the door, listening intently, but the next second...
"Yes, Xu Liang. Yes, yes."

broken
Yang Ruoxi's heart sank, feeling as if she had fallen into an abyss, and a sense of despair welled up inside her.

Just at this moment
"Squeak~"

The main door to the living room was opened.

Wearing a police uniform, Wang Chao, who had just finished his shift, walked in from outside.

Upon entering the living room, I happened to see Yang Ruoxi leaning against the kitchen door.

"Are you cosplaying a gecko, sis?"

Wang Chao immediately burst into laughter.

Yang Ruoxi, who was just looking for a place to vent her anger, turned her head to look when she heard this.

"roll!"

Wang Chao stopped laughing.

He nimbly rolled to his room.

And at this time.

The kitchen door was also opened by the people inside.

"What are you doing?"

Yang Jing looked at her daughter, then at the translucent frosted glass sliding door to the kitchen.

She had just seen a dark figure clinging to the door.
Yang Ruoxi asked anxiously.

"Mom, you really called Dad? His time is precious, we can't let him interrupt his work!"

"No."

Yang Jing said with a smile, and casually brought the already cooked rice and dishes to the table.

Yang Ruoxi followed behind her like Tigger, pleading.

“I could hear you on the phone. Why don’t you tell my dad you just made that up?”

Yang Jing spoke again: "I really didn't hit him."

“You mentioned my boss’s name. What if my dad causes trouble for him and he fires me?” “He didn’t call,” Yang Jing continued.

Yang Ruoxi pestered her like that for the entire afternoon.

It wasn't until they all went back to their rooms that evening.

She was still worried and couldn't fall asleep, tossing and turning in bed.

at the same time.

Hongfu Residential Area.

Room 301, inside the bedroom.

Xu Liang was pondering a question.

This question had been on his mind ever since he received a phone call after driving home.

He pondered this all afternoon, and even now, as he goes to sleep, he still can't figure out why.

The problem is...
"Why is Aunt Yang suddenly offering to reduce my rent?"

Xu Liang fell into deep thought.

The next day.

11 month 25 day.

Xu Liang got up very early and drove to pick up Yang Ruoxi.

However, the other party remained listless and dispirited, which puzzled Xu Liang.

But it's not a big problem.

He took Yang Ruoxi to find Lu Yao. Lu Yao had already buried Wang Cuiping. When he saw Xu Liang, he knew why they had come, so he readily paid all the money.

For the first time ever, Xu Liang treated Yang Ruoxi to a nice meal.

Yang Ruoxi remained listless.

11 month 27 day.

Yang Ruoxi started to fawn over Xu Liang from time to time, and Xu Liang subconsciously felt that she wanted to trick him, so he became wary.

He has thought it through.

No matter how much Yang Ruoxi tried to please him, he only wanted the benefits and never offered any help.

Ever since.

Yang Ruoxi massaged his shoulders for the entire afternoon.

But Xu Liang was on tenterhooks all afternoon.

Because the other party didn't ask him for anything at all!
Both of them became worried.

11 month 29 day.

Yang Ruoxi's abrasions have scabbed over, and she can walk normally.

Xu Liang discovered a serious problem.

He discovered that the other party was clocking in for work every day, and hadn't been late even once in the past few days!

Xu Liang found this unbelievable and became increasingly afraid of the other party.

He was wondering if the other person had been possessed by someone else.

until
12 month 4 day.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

There was a knock on the door of apartment 301, building C, in Hongfu residential complex.

Soon after, footsteps could be heard from inside the door.

"Who?"

Zhao Ying's voice rang out, and then the door was opened, revealing Yang Ruoxi outside.

"Hello, Auntie, I'm here to look for yarn."

Yang Ruoxi stood obediently at the door.

Seeing this, Zhao Ying smiled and said:

"Oh, it's Xiao Yang. You're up so early. Mao Xian is still sleeping."

"Just open the door and wake him up."

Yang Ruoxi nodded, looking very well-behaved and sensible, like a true lady.

He lifted his foot and stepped into the house.

This wasn't her first time visiting Xu Liang's house; she knew its layout inside and out.

They arrived at Xu Liang's door in just a few seconds.

“Tuk-tuk-tuk~”

She knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside.

Zhao Ying, who was tying her hair up in preparation for work, casually remarked:
"This child is sleeping very soundly."

"Today, Maoxian has to go to the city to see his teacher, which is around the time he gets up."

"Just go in and wake him up. He always wears pajamas before bed."

Hear the words.

Yang Ruoxi hesitated for a moment, then knocked on the door again, only to find that there was indeed no response from inside.

Only then did they open the door.

"Squeak~"

A tiny crack appeared as the door was opened, and Yang Ruoxi peered through the crack.

But Xu Liang was sound asleep in bed.

I didn't see anything strange.

She breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door, and stepped inside.

"Hey, wake up."

Yang Ruoxi bent down and whispered a reminder.

Xu Liang remained motionless, still fast asleep.

Yang Ruoxi thought for a moment, then spoke again:

"You're broke, your client Lu Yao has absconded, you're drowning in debt, and you're even being prosecuted by the Supreme People's Procuratorate for fabricating evidence."

She only got halfway through her sentence.

Xu Liang, who was still sleeping, suddenly changed his expression. The next second, he opened his eyes wide, woke up with a start, and got up to look around.

Upon discovering it was just a dream, Xu Liang breathed a sigh of relief, but the relief caught in his throat.

What are you doing in my room?!

Xu Liang was a little confused.

He looked around, then at the person in front of him, and several question marks appeared in his mind.

In December, the weather in the north gradually gets colder.

At this moment, Yang Ruoxi was wearing an autumn outfit: a coffee-colored wool coat over a black fitted sweater that accentuated her chest.

She said:

"Um...I want to go to the city too!"

Yang Ruoxi's eyes were serious.

She knelt on Xu Liang's bed, crawled forward, and pushed her protruding body forward as well.

Xu Liang looked at Yang Ruoxi, who was leaning over and almost touching his face, with a somewhat frightened expression.

"Wait, what are you doing in my room?!"

Yang Ruoxi crawled forward again, looking at Xu Liang seriously, and repeated herself.

"I want to go to the upper town!"

"Go ahead and go!!!"

Xu Liang was pinned down by the other party, his face completely bewildered.

"Why are you in my room at this time?!"
