Chapter 170 The Cold-Faced King of Hell
Chapter 170 The Cold-Faced King of Hell
The sun was shining brightly outside. It was clearly midsummer, but Nangong Jin felt cold all over. She hugged herself tightly and sat on the ground!
The people and things she had come into contact with were mostly kind and beautiful. Even if there were occasional calculations between each other, in her opinion, they were just weaknesses in human nature.
But now, she was caught off guard and exposed to such a dark side, and her heart was instantly filled with fear!
She trembled as she held the photo of her and He Zichen tightly in her arms. She murmured helplessly: "He Zichen, what should I do?"
In fact, this matter had nothing to do with her. She could have waited for He Zichen to come back and handled it herself, but Nangong Jin didn't want to do that. She didn't want him, who had already experienced the pain of losing his parents, to go through such a cruel process again. She wanted to help him!
Thinking of this, Nangong Jin seemed to feel much better, and the tingling feeling on his scalp gradually disappeared. At this moment, Su He knocked on the door and walked in!
"President, here is a document that needs to be..."
His voice came from far away, and by the time Nangong Jin reacted, he had already found her sitting on the ground, shivering!
"Junior sister, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
Su He didn't care about the documents in his hand. He ran over quickly, half-knelt on the ground, anxiously supported her, and checked her up and down to see if she was injured!
"Brother...I'm fine, don't worry!"
Nangong Jin has a shortcoming, which is that she only reports good news and not bad news. Su He looked at her pale lips and the panic in her eyes that she had not had time to hide just now, and his handsome eyebrows wrinkled instantly!
"Come, I'll help you to the sofa and rest for a while!"
"Well, thank you!"
Although Nangong Jin had tried hard to digest the shock of the truth at this moment, her hands and feet were still weak. Helplessly, she could only rely on Su He's support to move her body!
Seeing this, Su He's eyes were filled with solemnity. This was the first time he had seen Nangong Jin like this. In his heart, Nangong Jin was more resilient and tenacious than the average girl. What kind of thing could scare her like this...
He thoughtfully poured her a cup of hot tea and said, "Drink some tea and take your time!"
"Thank you, Brother!"
Nangong Jin held the cup tightly and took a sip. The steaming hot tea gradually drove away the coldness in her body. She stared at the tea in a daze.
Su He didn't ask any more questions, but just stayed with her quietly!
After a moment, Nangong Jin said calmly: "Brother, do you know anyone who handles criminal cases in the imperial capital?"
Her words made Su He hesitate for a few seconds, "Junior sister, what happened?"
Nangong Jin raised his eyes and looked at him firmly: "Brother, how much do you know about the death of He Zichen's parents?"
Su He frowned slightly and recalled: "I heard about it when I first came to He's. It seems that he died in a car accident. The police investigation believed that it was an accident! What happened?"
"I just got some information about this case. This accident is very likely man-made, which means murder!"
Her words made Su He's face change slightly. He immediately walked quickly to the door and locked it!
When he sat in front of Nangong Jin again, he said earnestly: "Junior sister, what do you want to do? It has been 20 years since this incident, and the statute of limitations has long passed. Even if the truth is found out, it is meaningless. You can't do anything to the real murderer, and it will also put yourself in danger..."
At this time, Nangong Jin turned back into the calm Nangong Jin: "I'm a lawyer, I understand what you said!"
Su He thought she listened to his advice and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but she continued, "I want to investigate this matter for two reasons. First, I don't want his parents to die unclearly. Second, I want to find out who is behind this. I want to know whether he is dead or alive. If he is still alive, He Zichen will always be in danger!"
Su He was speechless after what she said. After recovering from his shock, he shook his head and chuckled, "You are worthy of being my junior sister. I am proud of you. You are right. I heard that the reason why He Zichen did not die was that his parents used their bodies to protect him. Since they wanted to kill him back then, it is not ruled out that they will do the same now!"
Nangong Jin's eyes were slightly red, and he looked at Su He with some emotion. He was the only one who would support him without hesitation!
Seeing her like this, Su He hurriedly touched her head with his hand: "Senior Brother may not have much else, but he has the most connections. Don't worry, I will help you get all the information you want about this case!"
But he changed the subject and warned solemnly: "But you have to promise me not to act on your own and tell me before making any decision, understand?"
Nangong Jin looked at the man in front of her who had always taken good care of her and was both her teacher and friend, and nodded while holding back her tears!
Su He looked at her red eyes and sighed in his heart, "It seems that you are not in the mood to work today. Let's go, Senior Brother will take you to eat delicious food!"
"But, I still have..."
Nangong Jin turned around and looked at the documents on her desk, feeling a little embarrassed. Her work efficiency was indeed a bit low. Unexpectedly, Su He just took her hand and led her to the door!
"Brother will help you!"
He just held all the documents in his arms and said, "That's it!"
In a blink of an eye, Nangong Jin was sitting in Su He's car, looking around the car with some curiosity. This was her first time sitting in Su He's car. The car was consistent with the style of its owner, with a low-key white gray color and luxurious interior, just like Su He, calm and profound!
Su He watched her every move with his peripheral vision, with a smile on his lips all the time!
"Here we are!"
Nangong Jin finally came back to her senses and looked up at the scene in front of her. She originally thought that the other party would take her to those high-end restaurants, but she didn't expect it to be such a down-to-earth private restaurant!
"Don't underestimate this place, the food here is amazing, I wouldn't bring ordinary people here!"
The restaurant was not big, but it was warmly decorated and had a homely feel. As soon as the two of them sat down, the proprietress came up to them warmly: "Lawyer Su, why are you here so early today? This is your..."
As soon as Nangong Jin saw the other person's expression, she knew what she was thinking, but she didn't care about it.
"Madam Boss, bring out all your signature dishes!"
"Okay, okay, I'll do it right away. You guys have some tea first!"
"Brother, do you come here often?"
Nangong Jin asked casually while looking around the restaurant, and Su He just smiled: "This feels like home!"
Nangong Jin was quite touched when she heard this. Only then did she realize how little she knew about Su He!
"Junior sister, September is Sam's birthday. In the past, all of us seniors would get together to celebrate for him. Do you want to go?"
Nangong Jin naturally wanted to celebrate for Sam, the life mentor who had accompanied him for five years. "Well, I haven't seen him for a long time! You don't know, when I was studying, I was his assistant. The pressure was so great that my hair was almost bald!"
Su He laughed out loud at what Nangong Jin said, "That's really hard for you. As the saying goes, a strict teacher produces excellent students, so you are so capable, Junior Sister. Do you regret it? You have worked so hard for so long, but you don't have a job in this field?"
Nangong Jin just took a sip of tea and said softly: "I don't regret it. I chose to study law because I wanted it to be my weapon and also to leave myself a way out. If one day I have nothing, at least I can still support myself!"
Su He looked at the girl who was pretending to be strong, and felt a little distressed. "Don't worry, if there really comes a day, I will be able to make you rich!"
"Then I would like to thank you in advance. I will drink tea instead of wine. Come, have a drink!"
"it is good!"
"Brother, your serious expression is so funny, hahaha!"
The two of them talked freely and laughed heartily in this small restaurant. This was a rare carefree time for Nangong Jin!
To the outside world, Su He is a stern, ruthless lawyer, so others call him "the cold-faced king of hell". But it's not that he is ugly, on the contrary he is very handsome. Only to Nangong Jin, he will show his gentle and humane side!
