CHAPTER 15

Ye Chengxing had made an appointment with a lawyer surnamed Jiang. Jiang had strong business capabilities and had handled many major cases, earning a high reputation within the industry.

However, this lawyer Jiang was quite capricious when it comes to taking on cases. Some cases, even if they were willing to pay a high price, couldn't secure her services. But for some cases that might not have much reward, she would take the initiative to help with the legal battle.

It could be said that there was no regular pattern to her actions.

After learning that she had scheduled a meeting with this lawyer, Ye Chengxing wasn't quite sure if the lawyer would take Li Jia's case.

However, after a brief conversation with the unpredictable Jiang, and after reviewing the contract and listening to the recording, she decisively accepted the case.

It went smoothly, even more smoothly than Ye Chengxing had anticipated.

As she looked at the calm expression hidden in Jiang Lubai's deep white eyes, she faintly understood the standard of unpredictability that Jiang followed.

—Following her conscience.

Because things progressed smoothly and quickly, the negotiation ended earlier than Ye Chengxing had imagined.

After leaving the law firm, she took a deep breath, and exhaled, feeling a slight sense of relief throughout her body.

Ye Chengxing stretched her shoulders and neck, took out her phone to check the time, and as soon as she unlocked her phone, she noticed an unread message from Li Jia. The message roughly said that her afternoon tutoring session had ended, and she was getting ready to pick out some books and test materials.

Ye Chengxing noticed the time displayed on the screen, indicating that the message had been sent about ten minutes ago.

After reading, she couldn't help but feel negligent. How could she have forgotten about these things?

Ye Chengxing typed a message: [I was busy earlier and didn't check my phone. Have you come out yet? Where are you? Wait for me, I'll come pick you up.]

After sending the message, Ye Chengxing pondered for two seconds and felt like she had forgotten something, so she opened Li Jia's contact page again.

Because the layout of the phone's buttons and functions in this world was different from the phone she was accustomed to, she took a while to find the transfer function. Once she found it, Ye Chengxing entered a series of numbers, pressed the option of "No need for recipient confirmation", and transferred the money.

After completing this, she noticed that Li Jia hadn't replied yet, so she decided to wait in the car. Once Li Jia returned, she would go find her.

Sitting in the car, Ye Chengxing had no idea that shortly after she left, Li Jia also entered the law firm.

The Omega wore a hat and a mask, hiding her gaze under the brim of the hat.

Starting over brought significant advantages, and many things could be prepared in advance.

The lawyer she had an appointment with today is surnamed Jiang. In her previous life, Jiang had a good reputation, not only for her business capabilities but also for helping many people with a sense of conscience and an unextinguished and numbness-free sense of justice. It could be said that she was the best choice if one wanted to sue and hire a lawyer.

After all... if she wanted to terminate her contract with Star Flash Entertainment, other lawyers might not be able to guarantee it, but Jiang Lubai's character would definitely take on this case and do her best to fight the legal battle.

At this moment, her phone rang, and Li Jia saw the message from Ye Chengxing. Her gaze paused for a moment when she saw "Wait for me, I'll come pick you up." and the overly large amount of money transferred.

However, after just a second of hesitation, she closed the phone screen without much emotion.

She didn't really come to choose books and buy test papers, it was just an excuse she casually made up. She decided to wait outside until the meeting was over before going back.

She put away her phone and entered Jiang Lubai's office.

However, after a few exchanges, when Jiang Lubai looked at her, she seemed somewhat unresponsive.

"Are you Li Jia?" Jiang Lubai asked, slightly furrowing her brows.

Hearing her question, Li Jia furrowed her brows slightly. This Lawyer Jiang shouldn't know her. But just as she was about to speak, she heard the other party continue, "Your sister just came to see me, also about this case."

The words that were about to come out froze on her lips, and Li Jia lifted her eyes, directly stunned in place. "You said my sister came... are you talking about Ye Chengxing?"

"Yes, just a few minutes ago." Jiang Lu Bai answered as Li Jia asked.

After Jiang Lubai finished speaking, Li Jia didn't hear what else she said. She calmly found an excuse to leave the law firm but inside her heart, a huge storm had already been stirred up.

Almost the only sentence left in her mind was:

"Your sister just came to see me, also about this case."
