Chapter 1252: Fierce Fight! Master and Disciple 59 (Part 2)

early morning

When the sun began to warm the city, Eddie was already sitting in a car, driving slowly towards the prison, with Ran Zhi's son Ran Qiu sitting next to him.

It was just 7 o'clock, and on the eastern farm, the green wheat fields were flowing like waves in the wind, and the air was fresh and pleasant.

Sitting in the car were Ran Zhi's daughter Ran Yu, his wife and grandson, Mani Hillman.

"It should be here soon."

"Thank you Mr. Eddie."

Ding Manman said gratefully. After Ran Zhi entered, Eddie took great care of them. Now his son Ran Qiu is also working as a department manager in a large company, and his daughter is very happy every day.

All this is thanks to her husband Ran Zhi. Although the family does not understand why Eddie is so fond of Ran Zhi, because in the past years, the family has known that Ran Zhi is looked down upon by the family or other businessmen. , would not even look at him, but Eddie was different. He had given their family a lot of benefits over the years.

"Mr. Eddie, thank you very much for coming with us to pick up my dad."

Eddie smiled and shook his head.

"We are relatives, and your dad and I are very good friends. Your dad is really good, and of course you are the same."

Ran Yu nodded with a smile. At Hillman's house, since her husband had a car accident, her relationship with him had finally eased a lot, and she took good care of him every day. The relationship between the husband and wife was very good.

But what the whole family didn't understand was that compared to others, his father was neither capable nor shrewd enough, but Eddie was so fond of Ran Zhi, which made the three members of the family very puzzled.

Eddie looked at the fields in the distance in a good mood. He could already see the prison, followed by a long motorcade. Eddie wanted to welcome Ran Zhi properly after he was released from prison, and then officially appointed him as the head of the Hillman family Eddie Financial. person in charge.

In Eddie's eyes, Ran Zhi was a very talented person. When the two met for the first time, Eddie felt that this guy had the same aura as himself.

It was Prometheus's choice to hand over Eddie Finance to Ran Zhi, and Eddie also planned to hire this person with a bad background from the bottom to serve as the head of the Hillman family in order to alleviate the current large-scale boycott of the family. He holds an important position and wants to tell everyone in the city that the Hillman family is a meritocracy.

The car arrived at the door of Prison No. 1 little by little. At this time, there were many vehicles waiting. Some businessmen were surprised when they saw Eddie coming, but no one dared to approach. There was no one at this time. The young prisoner came out.

Ding Manman and her daughter took their grandson Mani, anxiously looking for Ran Zhi.

Finally, under the spotlight of everyone, the three people excitedly greeted him.

"Honey."

Ding Manman threw herself into Ran Zhi's arms. He smiled and nodded, looking at his daughter and son. At this moment, Ran Zhi saw Eddie, and his eyes began to change instantly.

"Grandpa."

Mani shouted kindly, but Ran Zhi was a little surprised at this time.

"Where does this kid go to school now?"

"Dad, Mr. Eddie is teaching, and all the children in the family are the same."

Ran Zhi did not continue to listen to what his daughter said, but squatted in front of his grandson Mani. The little guy immediately showed a friendly smile and hugged him with both hands. Ran Zhi looked at Eddie in the distance.

He stood up without even looking at his grandson, nor did he accept his grandson's hug. Instead, he walked toward Eddie with angry eyes.

"Mr. Ran Zhi, I came to pick you up personally because I want you to be the person in charge of our Eddie Financial."

Ran Zhi hummed, squinting at the little grandson behind him whose expression had changed, but not too obviously.

"Are you satisfied?"

Eddie smiled and bowed, Ran Zhi pointed to the field path next to him, and Eddie followed.

"Honey, I want to talk to Mr. Eddie about something."

The two walked side by side into the path in the field, and no one behind them followed them. A strong wind blew in their faces, and Ran Zhi's expression became serious.

"You failed Eddie."

"O wise man, I fail!"

Ran Zhi laughed, looking arrogant.

"After all, it's just a bunch of data, but you really believe that those data can provide you with strong protection, so you failed."

"Data is probability. There will be some probabilities in probability, and failure is one of them. Next, I just hope that you can take good care of Eddie Financial. After all, we still have a chance, and the Hillman family's reputation has been improved. Get up, if the Angus family needs to move again, I can definitely do it."

Ran Zhi raised a hand.

"Please allow me to refuse, and I hope to sell all the assets in my name. I plan to go back to the bottom."

Eddie panicked for a moment.

"What are you going to do on the ground floor?"

"Retirement."

Eddie burst out laughing, his manic laughter floating in the wind, and he kept shaking his head.

"Don't be ridiculous, wise man, you are indispensable in my plan."

Ran Zhi shook his head.

"I don't want to say the same thing a second time Eddie, you failed! The evil you understand is just your own delusion, it is impossible to realize, and the reason why I want to go back to the bottom is just that I thought of it It’s just another plan, different from your shitty data.”

Ran Zhi knocked his head gently, and Eddie's expression turned cold.

"The huge family background provides you with too much protection, and you have gone astray, Eddie."

Ran Zhi turned his head while speaking, and put his cheek close to Eddie's eyes.

"Real crime is not just talk. I never participate in it, never experience it, but just hide in the high walls, watching others struggle, cry, and roar in the sins they have created. What kind of sin is this? Eddie swallowed, Ran Zhi slightly raised his head, and his eyes were full of bloodshot.

"So you are destined to be unable to understand Eddie, but I am different. I will participate in it. Only by truly understanding the essence of sin can I control sin. You just continue to stay in your castle and continue to implement your plan comfortably. I won't accompany you. "

"Wait!"

Eddie called the wise man, and at this time his face showed some entanglement and helplessness. Ran Zhi stopped.

"At least tell me, wise man, what are you going to do?"

The wise man smiled, turned his head, and his face showed a hint of evil.

"Create a paradise for the bottom! "

Looking at Ran Zhi who left quietly, Eddie didn't call him, but just smiled.

"Then I am really looking forward to it, wise man, I will continue!"

"I will continue too!"

8:23 in the morning

Meranda yawned and got up from the bed.

"Quasimodo."

Meranda called out, smiled helplessly and got up from the bed. She pushed open the window, and the flowers in the small garden under the sun looked particularly bright.

At this time, Quasimodo's figure appeared beside the dilapidated small courtyard wall in front of him. He opened the door of the courtyard and walked in with some New Year's food.

"Sorry!"

Quasimodo said woodenly, Miranda smiled and leaned on the window on the second floor with her hand on her chin, looking at the things in Quasimodo's hand with a smile, and she immediately curled her lips.

"You were cheated by that store again. I said not to buy bundled vegetables, but to buy them individually. "

Meranda complained, Quasimodo looked a little embarrassed, but soon Miranda came downstairs with a smile and took a pile of things from Quasimodo.

The two have moved to District 58. Miranda used the money she earned over the years to buy a small yard. She is no longer an actress in adult films. After the family's problems broke out last year, she was also exposed because of her affair with some people in the family. She was directly expelled from the Film and Entertainment Association. She is no longer an actress, but she has made enough money.

Meranda happily took Quasimodo's thick arm and took him to the kitchen. Miranda planned to celebrate today. Miranda is very satisfied with her current life.

There is nothing wrong with the middle level. At this time, the gate of the yard was knocked. Quasimodo ran over and opened the door. A man with a smile on his face ran in. He nodded at Quasimodo, and Quasimodo let him in.

"What are you doing here? ”

The man in front of him who looked like he was smiling, had small eyes and wore glasses was Miranda’s former agent, Pete.

Pitt glanced at Quasimodo and then said.

“Quasimodo, go get me something to eat, I haven’t had breakfast yet.”

Pitt put his arm around Miranda’s shoulders and they came into the house. Pete started to act clumsily, and Miranda pushed him away.

“What do you want to do?”

“Don’t be so heartless, I’m here to introduce you to business!”

Miranda shook her head and uttered two words.

“No.”

“100,000.”

Miranda hesitated a little, and Pete came up to Miranda with a smile and put his face close to her.

“Money will run out one day, while the popularity of your film has not faded, you can make as much money as you can.”

Miranda shook her head, and Pete became a little anxious.

“82 is good, how about it. "

Meranda was a little moved, and Pete hugged Miranda.

"You just go and deal with it. The other party is a middle-aged man, and it's just one night."

Meranda smiled and nodded.

"We agreed that I will pick you up at 7 o'clock tonight. I have prepared things for you. It's your look in "The Pillow Lover". Remember to comb your hair."

"Got it."

After Pete kissed Miranda, he turned around and went out with a smile. At this time, Quasimodo came out of the kitchen.

"Don't do it. I'm in a good mood now. I want to drink. You can keep it for yourself. "

Miranda leaned against the door, looking at the honest Quasimodo. He was really pure, the purest person Miranda had ever seen in her life. His heart was like a pure child, and his heart was very kind, which was completely different from his extremely ugly appearance.

Miranda had already decided to spend her whole life with this ugly man, so it was necessary to make some more money. The money in hand was enough for them to spend for fifty or sixty years, but if the money in hand was worthless in the future, it would be troublesome, so Miranda still planned to go with Pete tonight.

After returning to her room, Miranda began to dress up. She had to take good care of her skin, which had some endocrine disorders recently, until the afternoon.

At this time, there were several sneaky men at the door, swaying outside from time to time. After seeing that there was no one around, several men took out the light and shadow chair, stood on it, and began to peek at Miranda who was dressing up on the second floor.

"Look, it's really the heroine in the movie "The Light of Love". "

Several men were watching excitedly. Suddenly, they were startled. A guy with a linen hood and as tall as a wall appeared in front of them. They were startled and left in a hurry.

Miranda noticed the boys who left and chuckled. It was okay to have Quasimodo. She did encounter several harassments after coming here, but because of Quasimodo, they were all resolved one by one.

At this time, Quasimodo also noticed Miranda's behavior. He walked slowly up to the second floor, bent down and entered the bedroom. Miranda was patting her cheek.

"Yes"

Miranda stopped. She could see Quasimodo's worried expression in the mirror, and Miranda laughed.

"Why, are you worried about me!"

Quasimodo nodded slightly, and Miranda nodded happily.

"It's okay, I'm just working. I can make a little money tonight, so we don't have to worry about it in the future."

Quasimodo was a little surprised, but he didn't know what to say for a while. He looked around.

"Tomorrow, I'll go out"

"No!"

Meranda said, stood up and walked over, hugged Quasimodo.

"Just stay with me, stay with me forever!"

Quasimodo nodded.

"Can I not go?"

Meranda looked up, and their eyes met for a while. Quasimodo was a little flustered, with uneasiness and embarrassment in his eyes, all of which Miranda saw.

"You don't have to go, just hug me and kiss me."

Quasimodo raised his hand and scratched the back of his head. Miranda stuck out her tongue mischievously, leaned on Quasimodo's strong arm, and nodded.

"I'm not going."

Meranda threw away the skin care water, dragged Quasimodo downstairs.

"You have to accompany me to drink well today."

The market on New Year's morning seemed particularly lively. Many people were surprised to find that the price of food had dropped a lot this morning, and some family-owned food purchase stores were still sparsely populated, and those quiet demonstrators were still there.

It was almost 9 o'clock, and many people were watching TV, tuning into the CBV channel. They were the only media allowed to enter the court for the legal ruling and defense stage.

Jewell wanted to get out of the Chen family's lawsuit, which affected the hearts of the people in the city. No one wanted this child who grew up in such a violent environment and witnessed the whole process of his mother's death to continue to stay in the Chen family, a family that only cares about profit.

"Jewell?"

Xiong Dabiao muttered, always feeling that he had seen this beautiful blond boy in the news somewhere.

"Didn't I come to your house?"

Olivia next to him sighed helplessly and lit a cigarette. Xiong Dabiao slapped his forehead and remembered.

"It turned out to be Nia's classmate."

"Da Biao, you idiot, if I were you, I would have accepted the money from the Angus family long ago. Now you still have to move bricks at the construction site?"

Xiong Dabiao looked at Eric at the next table. He always pestered Xiong Dabiao recently because he wanted to pursue Olivia, but Olivia never looked at him straight in the eye.

"Why would I want that kind of money? I have hands and feet, and I can feed my whole family."

Everyone in the pub burst into laughter.

"Hey, Da Biao, now is not the time for you to feed your whole family."

Someone shouted immediately, and everyone started to tease, thinking that such a beautiful woman would actually follow Xiong Da Biao, and some people saw Xiong Da Biao tying Olivia to his back like a child, working on the construction site. Although it was not clear what they were doing, most people knew that this was Xiong Da Biao's woman.

Although Xiong Da Biao repeatedly explained that he and Olivia were just friends, everyone still didn't believe it, because no matter where they went every day, they were inseparable.

"Miss Olivia, I want to treat you to dinner tonight, don't be with an idiot like Xiong Da Biao."

Eric immediately came up and said, and many people whistled at this time, and Olivia shook her head.

"Idiot, I won't eat with you even if I eat with a beggar on the street, Eric."

Eric was embarrassed, but he could only retreat amid the laughter, Xiong Dabiao clapped his hands.

"Yes, Eric, you bastard should have been in jail long ago."

Now Olivia has improved, and even the doctor said that she doesn't need to rely on drugs to calm herself down, which is very strange.

Olivia looked at this man with no scheming, only a fiery heart, and he would force her to take him wherever he went.

"I'm afraid you will commit suicide. When you don't want to commit suicide one day, I won't do it."

Olivia still remembers what he said after the fight with Xiong Dabiao. This seemingly clumsy and dull man was unexpectedly strong, not only physically, but also mentally.

This man is like a gentle white light, not too dazzling, not too hot, in the dark night, the temperature and brightness are just right, you can see and feel it.

"Why don't we all eat together? I won't eat with you, Eric."

Eric laughed and sat down immediately.

"Boss, bring out some delicious food. I'll treat everyone in the pub today."

Many people cheered. Eric looked at Xiong Dabiao and licked his lips, then immediately added.

"Except Xiong Dabiao."

At this time, everyone's laughter stopped suddenly, and someone exclaimed.

"Handsome and beautiful, she really is a princess."

Violet looked at the TV screen, surrounded by a large number of reporters, as Alpha Angus slowly walked into the Supreme Law Hall.

"It's so dazzling!"

Violet muttered that when she was still in the School of Business, she would see Alpha from time to time. She was a very dazzling presence to most little girls, and everyone liked her.

After that, Alpha did one thing after another that caused commotion in the city, but solved most of the problems, and everyone applauded her. Some people called her, the city's Princess Scales.

"It's really amazing, Niya's sister."

Even Xiong Dabiao, who usually doesn't like to praise others, couldn't help but praise him.

"excuse me!"

Facing the reporters' barrage of questions, Alpha said seriously. At this time, the reporters got out of the way, and the people from Section 5 came directly over and separated the reporters.

The people in charge of cbv were at the door of the Law Hall, and they hurriedly came over after seeing Alpha.

"Sir Alpha, you are ready."

Alpha nodded, glanced at the huge scale at the door, and walked slowly in. The auditorium was filled with businessmen, senior officials from the executive branch, members of parliament, celebrities, and some ordinary people who had been invited, as well as domestic violence of victims.

After Alpha entered, many people stood up and bowed slightly. After Alpha nodded, he walked to a seat in the front row and sat down. Histek was sitting next to him. On the left was the plaintiff and on the right was the defendant. On the other side, a large number of lawyers were already sitting in the Supreme Law Hall, which can accommodate 3,000 people. At this time, five city justices came out. Some of them were from the management, and some were members of the city's bar association. , both of them were the founders of the city's law and close friends of Heathcote's father, Lyons.

Pullman looked at each other with a relaxed expression. He looked at Alpha. After their eyes met, they each nodded.

"Are you nervous, President?"

"It's a joke if you're not nervous."

Heathcote smiled and nodded.

Time passed by, and at this time, Jewell walked out of the small door on the left, accompanied by a female lawyer.

9 o'clock sharp

After everyone stood up, they sat down. Because the previous two lawsuits had already had their respective submissions from the plaintiff and the defendant, they entered the trial stage directly.

"Plaintiff, Jewel! Please state your demands."

Jewell bowed and walked to the stage in the middle.

"I want to sever all ties with the Chen family!"

"Have you carefully considered it and reserved the right for you to take back these words once?"

Jewell shook his head with firm eyes.

"No need! I want to sever all ties with the Chen family."

At this time it was the defendant's turn, Chen Dong stood on the stage and said.

"I am very sorry about what happened to my nephew Chen Jie's mother, Wilsie. It is true that our Chen family has made mistakes, but this is not what our family says, nor is it what we want to see. Everything is caused by my brother Chen Liang , we have discouraged it many times, and our family has immunity. I think all the learned judges, I hope you can consider it carefully. My nephew Chen Jie is only 13 years old this year, and he is still in the initial stage of understanding the world. , there may be suspicions of being deceived, and some people even want to use this matter to divide our Chen family, so I implore the justices to reject the plaintiff’s claim!”

Both sides stated their respective litigation positions, and the debate was about to begin. As expected, the final issue still fell on the thorny immunity of the judicial branch and the parliamentarians.

“Please give the plaintiff’s lawyer the floor!”

Pullman stood up, bowed, pressed the shoulder of Chen Jie next to him, and walked to the stage.

"I think immunity is not enough to constitute a key point in this lawsuit. First of all, this right is given by the gods to the family as a whole, because the family as a whole has paid too much blood and sweat in the construction of the city. This is what the family deserves. legitimate rights!”

The lawyers in the Chen family's legal team looked at Pullman in confusion, and everyone present was also surprised as to why Pullman said that.

"But I hope everyone will think carefully. Immunity can directly free the family from the sanctions of the law and only need to bear the material sanctions. But please consider one issue. Such rights are passive! In other words, Brilliant City Before a complete legal system was established, the passive rights and interests enjoyed by such families already existed, and many legal provisions were of an active nature arising from people! The city constitution also clearly stipulated that all citizens Everyone has the right to legal action. No matter who they are, as long as they have self-awareness, they can file legal actions for any dissatisfaction!”

At this moment, the family lawyer immediately understood what Pullman wanted to do.

"So I think there is something wrong with the plaintiff's statement just now. It is true that my client Jewell is only 13 years old, but he is a person with independent consciousness, so he should have the right to take the initiative in litigation, regardless of the final outcome of this lawsuit. , being young does not constitute an obstacle to legal initiative!”

Pullman bowed as he spoke, and after the five justices whispered to each other for a while, one of them spoke.

“Now let’s invite the defendant’s lawyer to speak!”

The chief lawyer of the Chen family stood up. Most big families have their own legal teams. These lawyers are different from other lawyers and only serve the family. Once the family is involved in any legal matters, these lawyers They will go out to help the family defend themselves in the Law Hall and minimize the material sanctions or economic losses to the family.

"Lawyer Pullman also said just now that legal litigation is caused by the subjective initiative of people's independent consciousness! But this has no direct connection with immunity. If according to what Pullman said at the beginning Yes, immunity is not a point of contention in this legal lawsuit, so I boldly make a hypothesis!”

the lead attorney said, holding up a finger and smiling.

"This is Chen Jie's desire to sever ties with the Chen family. Even if it is a civil lawsuit, it is an internal matter within the family, so the immunity is still valid. In other words, whether Chen Jie leaves the Chen family or not, this is The law cannot directly interfere with matters within the family. Although there is a law in the blood law that applies to this case, it is only a city law, not a constitution, and it is not a way for the plaintiff to secretly change this law. Reasons for the concept of court ruling!”

After the chief lawyer bowed, the lawyers on Pullman's side looked bitter. Pullman originally wanted to dig a hole for the opposing lawyer, but the opposing lawyer seemed to be well prepared in advance and had no intention of jumping into the trap. .

If the focus of the dispute can be returned to the law of blood, there is a chance, but the other party insists on immunity. This is an internal matter within the family, and the law cannot interfere, so there is no need to make this legal ruling. .

But soon Pullman smiled and planned to continue his speech. At this time, the door of the Law Hall was opened again. Everyone looked over, and a smell of smoke drifted in. Gene smiled, holding his uniform, and stood In the last row, leaning against the wall, the five justices were a little surprised, but they still stood up and bowed.

Gene smiled and nodded, and the five justices sat down. However, some people present did not understand what was going on.

Pullman stood on the stage, clenching his fists excitedly. Jewell said that if this lawsuit failed, he would die like his mother. The rope that Wilsey used to hang herself, Jewell I always carry it with me.
