Chapter 10 Assault
Xiao Xia hesitated whether to give up this case.
Not to mention whether she had allowed to change her defense lawyer without a legitimate reason to do so, even if she herself could not pass her own level.
That's right, at the beginning, she was afraid of wanting to stay away from this case. It was various situations and coincidences that forced her to bite the bullet and persevere, and the purpose of persistence was to let go in the end. But to this point, although the director had returned, she had the idea of winning the lawsuit. Because the torture of that ghost on her made her angry, and she was deeply pity for Li Jingming.
She believed that Li Jingming must have been done by this ghost, but why did that ghost do that? And how did Li Jingming face the heavy crime of killing his family with his own hands? Is it really good to rescue him? So what if this case is given to others? Would he be allowed to die unjustly? Besides, even if she fought this lawsuit, it would be a problem. Unless it was proved that Li Jingming suffered from a mental illness that caused him to lose his ability to behave and recognize at the time of the incident, he could not be exempted from liability. And the ghost is not a mental illness in any case, and no one would believe such a thing.
Of course, Wanli tried his best to urge her to give up this case, and she could understand that he was doing it for her good. But Ruan Zhan said coldly to her, threatening to ignore any trouble if she didn't give up, but she annoyed her and wanted to do this for him to show her, but she knew that it would be impossible without that ruthless person. Because although he didn't say anything, she really felt safe since she lived with him, and she had no more nightmares and horror hallucinations.
All kinds of thoughts made her heart confused, and she didn't make any decisions for the whole morning.
"I will decide after lunch." She gave herself an ultimatum and looked out the window. Then she realized that the sky was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and a storm was about to come and the wind filled the building.
The office door opened with a 'bang', and Xiao Wang leaned in. "Sister Yue!"
"Ah?" Xiao Xia was shocked. She had been like this recently. A little bit of noise could make her frightened. She wanted to handle a ghost-related case, and even she felt that she was fantastic.
"Someone is looking for it."
"Oh, Dr. Wan came to me for lunch."
"It's not Dr. Wan. He is an aunt who says it's your landlord."
"Landlord?" Xiaoxia was very surprised. What was wrong with her? Could it be that the war of the century in her room the day before yesterday was exposed? She walked to the reception desk in confusion and saw the landlord standing at the window with his back facing her.
"Aunt Liu? Are you asking me for something?" she asked.
The landlord turned around, his eyes flashed blue in an instant, and then he laughed silently.
Xiao Xia was frightened, and all the blood in her body surged into her heart. This is true for the landlord Aunt Liu, but the stiffness, weirdness, and muscle distortion of Xiao Xia was familiar with every detail - in her nightmare, she had seen it when she bumped into a ghost. Just like the face of a burial paper man, her expression was painted.
"Why seduce my husband?" the landlord said in a soft voice.
"Ah? Who is your husband?" Xiao Xia was confused, but she still rubbed a few steps to the door.
"Why seduce my husband?" The landlord suddenly screamed, pulled out a sharp knife he carried with him and stabbed him desperately. "Vox spirit, I've killed you and let you seduce other people's husband! Vox spirit!"
Because Xiao Xia was prepared to escape, she narrowly avoided the fatal thorn. But the landlord's madness scared her and she had to escape in panic. She ran in horror, and the landlord chased her persistently, causing chaos in the whole office and alarmed everyone. Some male lawyers wanted to stop the landlord, but her strength was amazing and she was not convinced at all.
"Vox spirit, I slaughter you and let you seduce other people's husband! Vox spirit!" She screamed mechanically.
Xiao Xia tripped over the chair in panic. The pain on her ankle made her realize that this time was not a dream. She wanted to get up, but the landlord had arrived and raised the sharp knife.
"I told you not to meddle in other people's business!" Her expression suddenly stopped being crazy and turned into an indescribable gloom. "The retribution has come."
At this moment, Xiao Xia understood that the landlord was possessed by the ghost, but she was powerless and could only face the sharp knife that was waving down and closed her eyes.
However, the expected huge pain did not come. Instead, she heard the landlord's deformed roar. She opened her eyes and saw Ruan Zhan tightening the landlord's neck from behind with one hand and grabbing her hand holding the knife with the other hand, which desperately wanted to break free.
"Wanli!" he called.
Wanli rushed out from the other side, savagely snatched the knife, and pressed the struggling landlord face down on the table. Ruan Zhan turned his back to everyone, only Xiaoxia saw his lips moving as if he was chanting something, and slapped his palm against the center of the landlord's head.
"Go home straight away." He ordered.
Xiao Xia looked at the landlord's expression in surprise and quickly changed from evil to dull. After letting go, she ran out like wind.
"It's okay, it's a misunderstanding." Wanli pulled Xiaoxia up and said to everyone and the security guard who had just rushed up, "This is my patient, with a dual illness of paranoia and delusion."
"She is not imagining that you are her husband!" Xiao Wang said.
His joke made everyone in shock laugh.
"Yes, so she came to trouble the innocent Xiaoxia. Everyone knows that I treat Xiaoxia well!" Wanli's unconcerned admission made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
Director Pan frowned at the 'battlefield filled with smoke'.
"Doctor Wan," he called Wanli, "please remember that your clinic is on the 14th floor, not here, I hope this will not happen."
"I know, sorry. I promise this won't happen."
"That's good, we are a friendly unit." Director Pan nodded, then looked at the many subordinates who were still stunned, "Don't stand there, clean up quickly, what's it like. And you-" he pointed at Xiaoxia, "Don't bring private affairs to work in the future."
Xiao Xia nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and then, regardless of cleaning up the mess, took the two men into her office.
"She was possessed by that ghost," she announced.
"It's obvious." Ruan Zhan replied lightly.
"It seems that you really just sealed it that day, but it was lifted so quickly?" Wanli asked worriedly.
“It’s also obvious.”
His indifferent attitude made Xiaoxia feel a little dissatisfied, "That's all? I mean - don't you help her drive away that ghost? You should have the ability. Where did she go?"
"You are really leisurely. She would kill you a minute ago."
"She was possessed by a ghost and didn't know what she was doing."
"Just know what you are doing." Ruan Zhan retorted coldly. He went to someone's house this morning, and after he came back, he felt bad. He hurriedly dig a divination so that he could get here in time to relieve the disaster. It seems that someone is not grateful.
"It's not that Azhan won't help exorcism." Wanli smelled the fire and quickly smoothed out the situation. "This ghost is very powerful. If you forcefully expel it without much preparation, it will hurt the parasite, that is, your landlord's body. If it doesn't work out, it will kill people."
"That's right! Then - I'm sorry, I'm wrong about the good guy." Xiao Xia corrected her mistake, but she still didn't understand, "But this is daytime, how could it come out to do evil!"
"If it is attached to a person, it will not be too taboo for daytime, but it will be easier to control the parasite at night. But today -" Ruan Zhan looked out the window. The sky was as dark as evening, "This kind of time gives it a chance."
"That is to say that it was broken under your hands that day and hid in other houses, and it was very hiding and it couldn't be discovered." Wanli said.
"Isn't it because of the low RPG level of some people!" Xiao Xia took the opportunity to mock people, and of course she wouldn't miss it.
Ruan Zhan glared at Wanli, blaming him for being too verbally whispered. Wanli pretended not to see the situation of both of them and continued to ask: "Why did it choose the landlord? I heard that she lives on the first floor, and this is also considered a long journey."
"Because the landlord is familiar with Miss Yue's situation. Since it cannot be smooth, of course it will find another way to kill her."
"What does it mean?" Xiaoxia asked disgustedly, "Isn't it let me go?"
"Don't you understand?" Wanli interrupted, "If it didn't leave, you would be in trouble. From the beginning, you took over this case, everything was directed at you. I don't know why it had to attack Li Jingming, but you may have hindered the final result it wants, so it will kill you from beginning to end. Let's give up this case."
