The car with the words "First Aid" stopped at the entrance of the Tianqin Star Central Hospital. The medical cabin was turned into the emergency room along the slide rails without any bumps. Dozens of transparent tubes were connected to the pale bodies of the people in the cabin like cobwebs. , blood rushes to and fro in those transparent tubes like the busy traffic at 6 o'clock at night.
Put the dirty out and the clean in.
The various values on the monitoring instrument went up and down, and failed to stabilize on the safety line for more than one second. The "DiDi" alarm prompt and red light kept flashing on the screen, and the danger of organ failure always shrouded the emergency room. inside.
Everyone in the Manson family was sitting in a lounge outside the rescue room, each with a sullen face, bringing an invisible pressure.
Compared to the doctors and nurses with frowning frowns and nervous faces, the faces of the people lying silently in the cabin were rather serene, as if they knew nothing about their dangerous situation.
George Manson really knew nothing about his near-death situation. He was walking in a long tunnel. The tunnel was dark, and there was a dazzling light in the distance, which attracted him to keep moving forward. .
But there are too many traps in the tunnel.
Sometimes while walking, he would suddenly fall into a dream, as if he wanted to review all the people and events from childhood to adulthood in the last period of his life.
This time, he dreamed of his childhood self.
Maybe 5 years old? Or is it 7 years old? Not too big anyway.
It should have been a dinner party. At that time, there would be a few days every year, and the Manson family would invite all business partners to have a dinner and vacation together. Some of them are fixed, and some are here this year and not next year.
When the weather is nice, they have all kinds of entertainment. But the weather in George Manson's dream was supposed to be bad, so they just had afternoon tea in the house.
In the afternoon tea of adults, he is not qualified to participate as a kid, but his brothers are qualified.
After all, his eldest brother is 30 years older than him and has been involved in group affairs very early. But perhaps because of his youngest relationship, the Mansons preferred him a little more.
He still had a good heart at that time, so at first he planned to stay in the study and pretend to work hard, but he couldn't help being lured by other little ghosts in the garden outside the window, so he didn't hold on for a few minutes, then he rolled downstairs and went straight to back yard.
In the garden are Joe, Glenn, Zhao Zemu, etc. that he is familiar with. These are the frequent guests of Manson's family gatherings, almost every year. Joe's family has a big business and deep roots. The Glenn family is gaining momentum. Although the Zhao family is new in this, it is a good helper by hugging the Manson family's legs…
Of course, these are not George Mann. Sen and the little devils will think about it, and they play around, regardless of whether they are familiar with it or not. For him, Qiao and Zhao Zemu are both friends, Glenn always fights with him, but he forgets after the fight, and his brain is not good.
In the garden that day, Glenn was still the idiot who took the lead. George Manson was instigated to go up a tree to pick the beautiful peacock at the top. It turned out that Glenn didn't know from which hole a snake was drawn and hooked it up the tree trunk.
As soon as George Manson reached the peacock fruit, he was frightened by the screams under the tree, and planted under the tree as soon as his body tilted.
Fortunately, the tree was not high, and the surrounding area was filled with ooze. When he landed, he was caught by Joe, and the two little devils fell into a ball. Joe is an impulsive character, getting up and rolling up his sleeves and having a fight with Glenn. And Zhao Zemu was two years older than them, so he was more calm. He grabbed the snake by seven inches, walked to the root of the garden wall, chiseled it twice with the stone, and buried it again in the soil.
He shook the blood from his hand, turned his head to look at George Manson, and said, "Okay, the snake is gone."
Although the snake was actually very small and the species was non-venomous, George Manson at the time was still Zhao Zemu was shocked. Then, when he turned around, he was moved by Joe, who had a nosebleed from the fight for him, and by the way gave Glenn, who also had a nosebleed, a punch.
In the end, their group of bloody little devils were taken by two passing adults to be cleaned, and by the way, they persuaded the fight seriously.
It was a very bright middle-aged couple, male and female, with a bookish air, not like a businessman at all.
But they were indeed the guests of the Manson family in those years. It is said that they are very rich and their momentum will surpass that of the Glenn family. It is just that the couple is introverted and gentle, not as strong as the Glenn family.
As a kid, George Manson knew very little about them, and he was a little more impressed by the couple's smile than the family business.
Even after so many years had passed, and the appearance of the couple in the dream was blurry, he still remembered that the lady smiled with her eyes curled, and there was a small mole at the corner of her eye, which looked beautiful and gentle, and could not tell her age at all.
It's just a pity that he never saw those two at the party again after that.
Maybe it's because I'm not keen on parties, maybe I'm lonely and down and out after a flash in the pan.
…
He didn't know why he dreamed of these long-term fragments, but when he thought about it, he really had many small regrets in his life.
For example, the person who held him in the sea with very white fingers…
For example, this couple with beautiful eyes and gentle smiles…
He still doesn't know their names.
"Di–"
"Kidney failure–"
The electronic voice of the monitoring device sounded a hurried prompt again.
The nurses looked a little anxious, and the faces of several doctors were ugly.
"Try again."
"Come on!"
…
The atmosphere of the Southern Cross Law Firm is a bit weird these days. Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan each have to share half of the blame. The reason is the annoying "initial interns assessment".
When Yan Suizhi was dragged to Yaba Island by Gu Yan, Fitz and the others reminded him that the initial assessment of the intern had already been arranged. If Yan Suizhi went on a business trip at this time, he would definitely miss it. After all, this assessment not only considers the preparation of the interns, but also the time to participate in the barrister.
All in all, Yan Suizhi missed it.
The point of contention is whether he needs to make another round of assessment after returning.
The person who was mainly in charge of this initial assessment was Locke's teacher, Hobbs, who might be competing for the honor of "First-Class Lawyer". If it was an intern brought by someone else, it might be a slap in the face, but if Gu Yan brought it, he is extraordinarily sincere.
"We can spend a little more energy and get a few friends to help us to design a small and delicate case, so that you can have a chance to show your abilities." When Hobbs looked solemn, he seemed particularly inhumane , is not the same as Gu Yan's cold feeling, it is a shrewd and difficult feeling.
Also present were Locke, Phyllida, Anna and several other interns. Although Hobbs said this to Yan Suizhi and only stared at him, the others, especially Locke, were Too scared to breathe.
On the contrary, Yan Suizhi looked relaxed. He said in his heart, "You still have to use the word "small and delicate" to describe the case. I'm afraid your thinking is also very problematic." But he said, "Wasting manpower and material resources for me alone is too troublesome, and I don't dare to deserve it."
"It's nothing, otherwise it would be very unfair to you." Hobbs said, "Although it is an assessment, it is still training you in essence. You came to the Southern Cross for such an opportunity."
In fact , , When discussing about Yan Suizhi's absence from the initial assessment, Fitz showed the video of the bail hearing in Jiucheng to several barristers who rated it, along with other interns.
After the video was over, Locke and the others were still with their mouths open.
The barristers who originally disapproved of the absence gave themselves a silent slap, shut up and were amazed, and scored Yan Suizhi's assessment form on the spot.
Of course, there are regulations, if there are unexpected circumstances in the initial assessment, the maximum score is 60, that is, at most the passing line will be given. Other than that, the barristers didn't deduct a single point, and Yishui'er gave them 60 points.
Except for Hobbes.
This barrister, who is famous for his truthfulness, seems to be blind, and he turns his head and doesn't recognize him after watching the video.
"Bail is only a very small part. A bail is a barrister? Isn't even cross-examination a trial?" Hobbs retorted.
In short, he still claims that Yan Suizhi lacks training opportunities.
"If you insist that you don't want to make up the exam…" Hobbs changed the subject.
It seems that he has been laying the groundwork for so long, not really to give Yan Suizhi a chance, but just for this turning point.
"It's a pity, then, I can't convince myself to give you too high a grade." Hobbs said, frowning and shaking his head. On Yan Suizhi's assessment form, he made a slap in the column of the review team leader. 0 marks.
All the interns: "…"
Locke and the others turned to look at Yan Suizhi. The atmosphere in the discussion room was heavy for a while, as if they were going to his grave.
Phyllida found that Yan Suizhi was still indifferent, and thought he didn't understand the risks, and reminded in a very low voice: "The proportion of team leaders is higher than that of other barristers, and the only one who can compete with him is her own. Teacher, but your teacher is Lawyer Gu. As far as I know, Lawyer Gu has never given a grade of over 70, especially to his own people. In your current situation, unless Lawyer Gu makes an exception and gives you a score of 90 for the first time in his life, Otherwise, we can't be rescued."
Locke and the others nodded frantically while Hobbs didn't see it, and emphasized the seriousness of the matter to Yan Suizhi.
"I'll analyze it for you." Phyllida said, "You can either apologize to him and let him give you another chance, or you have to grind the lawyer Gu. I think… it seems that the former is one less difficult. A little, the latter may be hell-level, and it won't work without two kilograms of ecstasy soup."
Locke thought for a while, "My teacher's words…maybe one kilogram should be added."
Everyone: "…"
Hobbs He went to the small glass next to him to refill half a cup of coffee, and when he came back, he supported the table, took a slow sip of coffee, and said to Yan Suizhi, "What do you think of the test results I gave? I think it is very reasonable.
" "…"
The box lid of my first-class lawyer's medal couldn't hold the old man down.
Yan Suizhi smiled politely, and was about to open his mouth when Hobbs said, "You are now evading the assessment and giving up the opportunity to exercise. Who can guarantee you that you won't lose face in court in the future?"
"Me."
A low and pleasant voice rang from the door of the discussion room, just in response to Hobbes's words.
All the interns turned their heads to look in a daze, and saw the "hell-level" lawyer Gu was standing at the door, and said to Hobbes with a cold face: "I just submitted his assessment results, all major The lawyer, including you and me, calculated a final score of 68, which can be considered a pass."
Phyllida and the others exclaimed, "My mother is 68? How many points do you have to score to get this result?"
Locke Wiping his face, "Don't forget, 100."
Everyone: "…"
Yan Suizhi: "???"
This classmate took the wrong medicine today, and mint essence has turned into mint candy?
Hobbs looked a little uneasy. He thinks that he knows Gu Yan's temper and generally does not interfere in these matters. According to his idea, kill the intern's spirit, and then arrange a separate make-up exam. The case is not as complicated as before, and there is not much room to play. If he mobilizes again, the result may not be very good. And it's justified and not good-looking, so it can also affect Gu Yan.
He never expected this result.
"My intern has something to do, I'll take him away first." Gu Yan said, tilting his head at Yan Suizhi, indicating that he can come out of the discussion room.
He had just finished his short-term care, and now facing the intern, he still looked cold, as if the 100 points were not scored by him at all.
Everyone was stunned, unable to react at all.
Yan Suizhi nodded at Hobbs with a smile, and followed Gu Yan back to the office.
He thought that the so-called business was just an excuse that Gu Yan casually brought up, but he didn't expect that Gu Yan would really throw him a serious business as soon as he entered the door.
"What?" Yan Suiyi was stunned.
"A letter of entrustment." Gu Yan said.
This answer made Yan Suizhi even more puzzled. If the letter of entrustment is looking for a lawyer like you, what can you do for me? He couldn't help but look down.
It's really a letter of entrustment, from the Legal Aid Center, an organization that specializes in arranging lawyers for suspects.
The previous case of Joshua Dale was sent to Gu Yan by them. As for this time…
Yan Suizhi glanced at the lawyer's name on the letter of attorney, and it was not Gu Yan, but Ruan Ye.
"…" Isn't it really a typo?
The name of the party involved was very familiar to Yan Suizhi, it was Chen Zhang.
