Chapter 676: Never See You

Book:The Selfish CEO Published:2024-6-2

After the statement, the two people do not dare to go to work in the firm, sitting in a coffee shop not far away, both people are not calm. The firm called Sammy Jones again, and it was Sammy Jones’ teacher who called, “Xiaoyu ah, don’t be capricious, if you continue to work on this case, not to mention you, our whole firm will have to close down. There was blood at the door again today, the police have been called, and now the police are collecting fingerprints.”
Sammy Jones’ hand gripping the coffee spoon trembled minutely, “Remember what you just took me to say, Teacher? Evil will never triumph over good.”
Over there, the teacher sighed, “Sammy Jones, you’re too young for those words to be empty slogans now, understand? We’re just lawyers, we’re not saviors, let alone supermen, and not every grievance is within our power to redress.”
Sammy Jones hung her head, watching the coffee cup stir in her hand. It was like her life now. It had been peaceful and quiet, but now it was creating layers and layers of waves.
“I’ll reflect on it. But … I really don’t want to miss the court session in a few days …”
Hanging up the phone with a heavy heart.
Le Mei was still wiping her tears, and Sammy Jones was a bit apologetic, “I’m sorry, I didn’t realize that even you were targeted. In the future, let’s both stay in the hotel together.”
“But staying in a hotel is not a permanent solution.” Le Mei clutched Sammy Jones’ hand with a pleading face, “Sammy Jones, go find Joey Xu! Go find him to think of a solution, even if he didn’t do it, he will definitely help you out!”
Looking for Joey Xu?
I’m afraid Joey Xu already knew what kind of situation he was living in today. However, from the beginning to the end, he hadn’t come with a single phone call. Even, yesterday, she left him the best reason, and he didn’t need it. So …
“He won’t help me.” Sammy Jones exhaled softly and whispered, “I’ve fallen out with him. He hates people who betray him, and I promised him I wouldn’t take the Quad case, but now …”
“What then? Now we all wait for death together?” Le Mei was in a hurry.
Sammy Jones was a little reluctant, “I’ll think about it some more and talk to Lormingfan about it.”
Seeing that the first battle was fought so beautifully, but she had to give up in the middle of the battle, she was really unwilling. However, if she was only trapped in such a predicament by herself, she could still hold on, but it turned out that she had dragged so many people … into it.
There are only three days before the trial, and the results …
Behind the scenes, however, the action is becoming more frequent.
First, the firm was smashed; and then, it was a colleague who had his license revoked; and then, Le Mei went out to walk on the road and was hit by something that flew out from under the window of the office building and hit her head, and she was smashed into the hospital with a direct concussion.
On the way to the hospital, the cell phone rings with a string of unfamiliar callers. Sammy Jones is too upset to think twice about it and answers.
“Lawyer Ye, how are your days lately, they should be colorful, right?” Over there, an unfamiliar voice came out, grim and chilling, making people tremble.
Sammy Jones dug into the cab and gripped the phone tightly, “Who the hell are you?”
“It doesn’t matter what I am, as long as I know exactly what Lawyer Ye is. If a little girl’s family wants to show off, they have to weigh their own weight as well.”
“I’m telling you! I don’t care what you are, I’m not afraid of you! You’d better come at me if you have anything to do with it, don’t hurt my friend!” Sammy Jones aggravated.
“Don’t hurt your friend?” Seeming to have heard a joke, the man on the other side laughed out loud, “Sammy Jones, just wait! Tomorrow your friend won’t just be in the hospital, it might be the morgue!”
Sammy Jones winced stiffly as she screamed out of control, “Don’t you dare! This is a legalized society, do you think you can do whatever you want? I’m warning you, if you do anything rash, you’ll be caught by the police one day!”
“Then we’ll see how it goes, provided you can find the evidence.” Sammy Jones’s threat did not work on the other side in the slightest, and instead, the words fell out and he simply hung up the phone. Sammy Jones was left holding the phone at this end, stunned.
The morgue?
They’re going to move Le Mei?
No!
Never!
She can’t allow her friends to be hurt …
Sammy Jones sat in the hospital with a pale face, her head down as she peeled an apple for Le Mei, her mind still reeling from the man’s threatening words just moments ago, and all she could feel was cold hands and feet.
Wang Yang, a colleague whose license had been revoked, rushed over and reached out to snatch the fruit knife out of her hand.
The blade was sharp and immediately cut Sammy Jones’ finger, blood seeped out, she cringed in pain but didn’t say a word, just covered the wound with her hand and sat there frozen.
“Sammy Jones, you go out, okay?” Wang Yang’s face was extremely ugly, “It’s not enough that you’re dragging us all down, you’re only willing to drag us all to death, aren’t you?”
“… I’m sorry.” Sammy Jones apologized in a low voice, not even knowing what to say other than apologize.
“Sorry? Does being sorry help? Do you know how much we lost because of you? Now the firm can’t even open, me and Xiao Mei and the others are all directly unemployed!” Xiao Mei was also one of the colleagues whose license was revoked. Speaking of these things, Wang Yang’s eyes were red, she threw the fruit knife to the bedside table with a ‘clang’, “Do you know what people said when we called to ask? Said that we have nothing to do with the legal circle in this life! Someone specifically told us that we would never get our law license back in this lifetime! Sammy Jones, I’m begging you, if you want to be brave, if you want to be a hero, don’t hurt us, okay? We don’t want to die!”
The more Wang Yang spoke, the more agitated she became, Le Mei pulled her back, “Say less, she’s not comfortable in her heart either.”
“She’s not well? Look at her, she’s doing fine now, she’s not sick, she’s not in pain, and she still has her lawyer’s license. Instead, look at us, the firm was smashed, Xiao Mei and I lost our jobs, and you went straight to the hospital. Tomorrow maybe if we walk outside, we won’t even be alive!”
Wang Yang’s last sentence made Sammy Jones shiver. Sitting there in a daze, with her head lowered, the tears that she had been holding back for a long, long time, suddenly couldn’t hold back the tears that were falling down.
Always thought she was right to take this case, but, now she realizes that she was actually very wrong.
He couldn’t help Luo Mingfan, and in the end, he even dragged a circle of people down with him.
As soon as these tears fell from her eyes, Le Mei and Wang Yang were both a bit at a loss for words. Especially Wang Yang, she sighed and softened her tone a bit, ”Sammy Jones, don’t blame me for speaking directly. I know that you and Luo Mingfan are friends and you can’t disregard him, but you are also aware of your limited abilities. Didn’t you say that you have a good relationship with Joey Xu? Last time your lawyer’s license was revoked, and he returned it to you, so I’m begging you, go find him for me, okay? Ask him to help me find a way to get my license back. My family is now running for me, but I can’t get it back. And Xiao Mei …”
Wang Yang wiped his tears, “Xiaomei her family is poor, her parents picked up a lifetime of scrap, it is not easy to pull this daughter up, have a good fortune. Now good … all gone! Xiao Mei now even the heart of suicide have. Even if we beg you, okay? You go to Joey Xu! As long as you can help us get our lawyer’s license back, you can make us do anything you want!”
“Yeah, Sammy Jones, it’s not easy for either of them …,” LeMay added.
Sammy Jones sniffled and swallowed down his tears before looking at them, “Okay, I’ll go find Joey Xu. don’t worry guys, I’ll get your lawyer’s license back no matter what method I use!”
And …
She couldn’t let the people around her suffer any more because of herself! This sin, she couldn’t afford it!
Coming out of the hospital, Sammy Jones let out a long breath, dispersing the gloom that had built up in his heart a little before he took his cell phone and dialed out.
It was the same familiar number, and the person who answered the phone was still Goodben. Sometimes I think about it, Joey Xu is really a heartless person, saying that he is not a friend and then he is no longer a friend. The time we spent together seemed like a dream. It turns out that she is the only one who always remembers, and always holds a grudge …
“I want to see Joey Xu, can you help me arrange a time?” Holding back the bitterness in his heart, Sammy Jones asked Goodoto.
Yoshimoto seemed a little embarrassed, “Miss Jones, Mr. Xu has orders never to see you.”
Never see her?
Sammy Jones smiled coolly, and his heart, sinking and sinking, was so cold it felt like he was dipped in ice water.
“So where is he now, can you tell me? I’ll go look for him.”
Yoshimoto remained difficult, “I’m sorry, Miss Jones, Mr. Xu’s whereabouts are not readily available either.”
Words to such a point, if it is to Sammy Jones past temperament has long been not rare cursing. But now … she is not so dashing, she can not do that …
The only person in her circle of life who can help her right now is Joey Xu, and Joey Xu alone.
“I know then, bye.” Sammy Jones didn’t press the issue any further, but hung up the phone.
It would clearly not be in her Sammy Jones temperament to just give up.
Without much thought, she simply hailed the cab and headed for her destination.
The other side.
Joey Xu had just come out of the club after talking things over with someone, and Shan Ben walked beside him, lowering his voice to report, “Sir, Lawyer Ye just called, saying he wants to see you.”
Sammy Jones?
Joey Xu’s face changed slightly. He knew very well in his heart what she was looking for herself for. If he hadn’t greeted her behind her back, all those sins that her colleague had suffered would have been borne by her alone now! Stupid woman who didn’t know how to die!
“What do you say?”
“I said what you told me to say, but Miss Jones doesn’t sound like she’s in good shape.” Yoshimoto replied truthfully.
Joey Xu’s eyes floated, but in the next instant, they remained cold, “Serves you right!”
The night, getting deeper and deeper.
The weather, which was still fine, was actually raining at this moment. The rain got heavier and heavier, like it was pouring down.
Sammy Jones hid under the eaves, her whole body leaning helplessly against the wall, shrinking in as far as she could, but still, the growing rain flew in and hit her. Dampening her hair and soaking her clothes.
She wants …
You must be in a sorry state at this moment.
I’ve been standing here since just after 4:00 pm and it’s been just after 11:00 pm.
The stomach stays empty.
My legs were numb from standing for almost 8 hours in heels, and both legs were aching at all times.
Joey Xu, still no show …
She fidgeted a bit.
She was very afraid that if she delayed a little, by tomorrow Le Mei’s life would really be in danger. By then, even how she begged for mercy would already be too late.
As he was thinking, he suddenly heard the roar of a car from far away and close. Under the layers of rain, two beams of strong light far through the darkness, toward so shining …
Joey Xu was ready to drive his car straight into the garage, but …
