Chapter 239 Lu Zimin
Chapter 239 Lu Zimin
It was already midnight when Xie Jiaojiao arrived at Jiangyang Mansion. This was her first time in such a long time, but she was not in the mood to visit Jiangyang Mansion. She wanted to go directly to find Lawyer Lu, but when she saw it was so late, she went to her own inn and wanted a room to rest. Unfortunately, there were no rooms left in the inn, and she was very tired, so she just stayed in the carriage.
Lai Fu was tired after driving all day. Seeing his young mistress resting in the carriage, he wrapped his clothes tightly and fell asleep against the side of the carriage.
The next day, just after dawn, Gu Weizhi came to the inn and recognized their carriage.
He had seen Lai Fu several times, so he naturally recognized him.
Then he went forward and greeted him: "Little brother."
Just as he finished speaking, Lai Fu was half asleep and half awake when Xie Jiaojiao's voice came from the car: "Manager Gu?"
Gu Weizhi thought he had heard wrongly.
But when the carriage moved, Xie Jiaojiao pulled open the curtain and showed her head.
"Hey! Madam, why are you here?"
Lai Fu also woke up at this time and brought a car stool to Xie Jiaojiao.
Gu Weizhi saw Xie Jiaojiao's tired face and frowned slightly: "Madam, did something happen?"
Xie Jiaojiao sighed: "It's a long story..."
Seeing her like this, Gu Weizhi hurriedly welcomed her in and asked someone to prepare breakfast. However, Xie Jiaojiao couldn't eat and only asked Gu Weizhi if he knew Lu Zimin.
Gu Weizhi heard it and asked: "What do you want to see him for?"
Xie Jiaojiao recounted what had happened in a few words.
Gu Weizhi was furious when he heard this: "It was clearly the old woman who rushed over on her own and ended up hurting herself. Why is this blamed on the boss!"
Xie Jiaojiao smiled bitterly: "We think it's not wrong, but the Zhou family thinks their mother died, so they reported it to the authorities. The government just thought someone was killed, so they took him away in a few seconds. The case will be tried in court in two days, and he can't get anything wrong!"
Gu Weizhi nodded slightly after listening to this: "But everyone in Jiangyang Mansion knows that it is not easy to invite Lu Zimin! It depends on fate to invite him!"
"It's okay, as long as you tell me where you can usually see him."
Gu Weizhi saw that she looked tired, and said, "Young Madam, why don't you take a rest? Lu Zimin always sleeps during the day when he has nothing to do, and hangs out in brothels and restaurants every night. If you want to find him, I'm afraid it's best to do it at night!"
After Gu Weizhi finished speaking, he asked someone to clean up a room for Xie Jiaojiao to rest. However, she couldn't sleep when she thought about how Jiang Weinan looked in prison yesterday. She didn't know how to tell the time, but kept calling out to Lai Fu outside the door to ask what time it was.
Lai Fu brought food at noon, but Xie Jiaojiao still couldn't taste the food.
Lai Fu said, "Madam, please eat something. You haven't eaten or drunk anything for the whole day. Don't let the young master come out before you collapse again!"
After hearing this, Xie Jiaojiao persuaded herself to eat two bites.
Finally it was night.
Gu Weizhi found her a set of men's clothes.
Xie Jiaojiao changed her clothes and followed him out.
I went to two brothels but couldn't find Lu Zimin.
Gu Weizhi said: "We have searched the two famous brothels in Jiangyang Prefecture, but no one is there. So this person must be in the restaurant!"
After saying that, he immediately notified people to help look for him, and they soon found out where Lu Zimin was.
Xie Jiaojiao and Gu Weizhi went to Xiangyuan Tower. The Xiangyuan Tower of Jiangyang Mansion was even bigger than that of Jiangbo City. Gu Weizhi took Xie Jiaojiao directly to the third floor.
There was a play going on on the stage on the third floor.
At a table not far from the stage, a man was sitting with his legs crossed, drinking wine and eating peanuts. He was staring at the stage intently, looking fascinated.
Gu Weizhi pointed at the man and said to Xie Jiaojiao: "Madam, that is Lu Zimin!"
Xie Jiaojiao looked over and saw the man with his hair loose and wearing a grey spring shirt. His face was pale and he was looking at the stage with a pair of blurry eyes. He looked like he was drunk.
Gu Weizhi originally wanted to bring Xie Jiaojiao up to meet him, but before they went over, Lu Zimin's eyes suddenly glanced in their direction, and he threw peanuts into the sky and then opened his mouth to catch them.
Gu Weizhi originally wanted to take Jiaojiao up to meet them, but as soon as Gu Weizhi took a step, someone in the store stopped him.
Xie Jiaojiao said to Gu Weizhi: "It's okay, I can go there by myself."
As he said this, he walked towards Lu Zimin with Lai Fu behind him.
When Xie Jiaojiao arrived in front of Lu Zimin, she bowed and said, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Lu Zimin, the lawyer?"
Lu Zimin didn't even look at her and continued to do his own thing, drinking, eating peanuts and watching the show.
Lai Fu felt a little uncomfortable and was about to walk up when he was stopped by Xie Jiaojiao.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at Lu Zimin and said, "There is a murder case in my family, and I would like to ask Attorney Lu to help me."
Lu Zimin then looked at her, and then dismissed her with two words: "I'm busy!"
After that, he stopped talking and looked at the Journey to the West performed on the stage by the troupe. Seeing the enthusiastic performance, he applauded.
Seeing that this was not going to work, Xie Jiaojiao took out a dozen banknotes from her pocket and said, "If Attorney Lu is willing to help, all these banknotes will be yours!"
Lu Zimin sneered, took a sip of wine, then took the jug and poured himself a gulp of wine.
But he still ignored Xie Jiaojiao.
Seeing that he was unmoved, Xie Jiaojiao said, "Then tell me, what do you want? As long as you can help me with the lawsuit, I will do my best to satisfy you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Zimin looked up at her and said, "Anything is possible?"
Seeing that he finally spoke, Xie Jiaojiao finally showed a hint of joy on her face: "Yes, as long as I can do it, I will agree to it!"
Lu Zimin poured himself a glass of wine and said to Xie Jiaojiao, "I saw you just came in with Xiangyuanlou's boss Gu Weizhi, and he was so respectful. You must be someone important, right?"
In that instant, Xie Jiaojiao still marveled at his insight and nodded slightly: "I am the owner of this restaurant."
