Chapter 20: Defending the Bottom Line with Metaphysics

Lu Qiu naturally saw it too, and he quietly moved to stand between the policeman and Xia Wange.

Xia Wange quickly stuffed a talisman into the pen holder, signed the document, twirled the pen, and handed the document and pen to the policewoman. "The pen is quite nice. No wonder you carry it with you. Maybe this pen can help you get out of danger in the future. I wish you good luck after all your suffering."

The policewoman put the pen away, smiled, and left without saying anything more.

After the others left, Zhang Yue whispered, "Sister Xia, I'm sorry to have dragged you into this."

"What's this about being implicated?" Xia Wange casually crossed her legs on the boss's chair. "It's all a small matter. Anyway, I don't have much to do."

After saying that, Xia Wange had a bad feeling. She quickly looked at Lu Qiu and saw him staring at her with his dark eyes.

Xia Wange quickly stood up and said with a smile, "Boss, please sit down. I'm going out to get busy. I'm really busy."

Zhang Yue ran out first, and Xia Wange was stopped by Lu Qiu as she ran. "Thank you."

Xia Wange was taken aback. After a moment's thought, she realized that Lu Qiu was thanking her for not exposing the other person's privacy in the first place. "There's nothing to thank me for. It's only right. I studied law, so I'm quite clear about privacy."

"I'm a little curious, why did you choose law?" After saying that, Lu Qiu explained, "I'm just simply curious. If you're not comfortable saying it, you don't have to. I just feel that the major you chose conflicts quite a bit with your current job."

Xia Wange pondered for a while, "When I was a child, I thought everyone had morality. Later, after learning some things, I realized that the law is the bottom line for humanity. Then I discovered that there are many things that even the bottom line cannot protect. I just want to understand the position of the bottom line. Things above the bottom line should be resolved with the law, and things below the bottom line should be resolved with mystical methods."

Lu Qiu stared at Xia Wange for a long time before suddenly changing the subject, "Since you feel you're fine, come with me to meet a client tomorrow."

Xia Wange felt that Lu Qiu's real purpose was to say this. Sure enough, the ruthless capitalist boss was starting to show his fangs.

"Meet during the day or at night?"

"?" Lu Qiu, who had already started organizing the documents, looked up blankly. "Daytime? Nighttime?"

"My working hours are during the day, but I get extra pay for working at night."

Lu Qiu: "...I'll bring a male assistant with me for the evening's social engagement, so don't worry."

"Are there any social events that require a dance partner?" Xia Wange suddenly became curious about these things and leaned closer.

Lu Qiu looked at Xia Wange helplessly for a long time, then sighed, "Is it so hard to judge that I'm disabled?"

And his dance partner? What can his legs do?

"Give me a break, you call yourself disabled?" Xia Wange said disdainfully. "In my eyes, you're just a normal person who can have special experiences. At most, you're injured. You think you can get sympathy from me by talking about your leg? Let me tell you, if I go out with you at night, I'll have to pay you extra overtime. Playing the emotional card won't work."

After saying that, Xia Wange glared at Lu Qiu with the look of someone staring at a heartless capitalist trying to gain sympathy by using his legs, and then left.

Lu Qiu stared blankly in the direction Xia Wange left for a long time, then suddenly laughed. He clenched his fist and punched his numb knee hard, laughing so hard that he almost cried.

Normal people with special experiences...

A person who is only temporarily injured.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the cinnabar stains on the paper on the table.

He was proud from a young age and could do anything he wanted. He won countless awards during his school years and gradually built his own company during college.

But fate played a cruel joke on him, causing his legs to inexplicably lose sensation. He consulted doctors both domestically and internationally, trying every possible method, but all he received was repeated disappointment.

He could accept all these setbacks, but what he couldn't accept the most was the pitying look in other people's eyes when they looked at him, the kind of look that directly treated him as a vulnerable person. This was something that he, who had always been proud, could not accept at all.

He could endure a thousand times more pain, but he could not ignore the pity others felt when they looked at him.

He doesn't need pity, not even in death.

Everyone knows his taboo and is pretending. He can sense that everyone is trying to treat him like a normal person, but his eyes can't hide his true feelings.

Only the song for the summer evening is different.

Whatever the reason, there was no pity in her eyes when she looked at him. She not only treated him like a normal person, but seemed to think he was even more capable than normal people. Unlike others, she didn't treat him with the same caution in her words and actions. Only she, deep down, considered him a normal person.

To be honest, regardless of whether Xia Wange could cure his leg, he was grateful to her.

Be grateful to someone who doesn't discriminate against him, pity him, or look down on him.

Since his leg problems started, all Lu Qiu has ever wanted is a normal life.

That evening, policewoman Liu Mei finished her overtime shift and went home. She felt exhausted by the family members who had come to cause trouble earlier that day. Fortunately, they weren't made of steel and went home after dark.

His son died in his rented room, clutching a lottery ticket in his hand. The forensic results were in: sudden death.

But the other party's mother wouldn't let it go, throwing a tantrum and claiming that her son had told her that Zhang Yue had hired a sorcerer who had killed her son. She insisted that they act on behalf of heaven and catch the sorcerer.

A master of magic?

They are clearly a top law student who understands the law!

If studying law is equivalent to possessing magic, then this person certainly possesses magic.

Liu Mei said goodbye to her colleagues, packed her things and went home. On her way home, she passed through a dark alley. At the entrance of the alley, she vaguely heard a man and a woman arguing.

The woman pleaded, "Dad, can you please stop?"

The man shouted, "What did I do? I came here to take you home. How many years has it been since you came home? If your uncle hadn't seen you, I wouldn't know where to look for you."

Liu Mei's eyes twitched, and she instinctively sensed something was wrong, so she deliberately slowed her pace.

The woman choked back tears: "Why do you want me to come back? Isn't it just to sell me to pay for my brother's wedding?"

The man roared, "Since you know that, then hurry up and come back with me! I've already accepted a dowry of 100,000! You're coming back today no matter what!"

The two began to pull at each other.

The woman cried out, "Dad! Dad! 150,000, right?! Let me go! I'll give you 150,000! I'll give you 150,000, just let me go!"

The man was angry. "What are you thinking? The money in your pocket is ours! You're going back! If you don't go back, I won't let you hang around outside! You're a disgrace! Women should go home, get married, and have children. Only after having children and having their in-laws' permission can they go out to work! Are you going back or not?!"
