Chapter 191 Christmas Chapter Invitation (2)
Half an hour later, Zhang Yang and Lawyer Cao met in a cafe.
As soon as Zhang Yang sat down, he asked, "Lawyer Cao, has the trial date for Mr. Su been set?"
Lawyer Cao said, "It has just been decided. It will be on the morning of the 25th."
As he spoke, he placed a court document on the table with the signatures of Su Rui and Zhang Yang on it.
Zhang Yang picked up the document and looked at it: "The 25th? Isn't that Christmas?" Zhang Yang unconsciously thought of the two dates he had already agreed to.
"We don't have a Christmas holiday in our country, so the court session will of course continue. The time is 9:30 in the morning. Do you want to go with me or by yourself?"
Zhang Yang felt that Lawyer Cao was always very polite when speaking to him, and he even addressed him as "you" when speaking.
"I can go by myself. What are Mr. Su's chances of winning this time?"
"The video has been technically authenticated. As long as the video evidence is established, based on Zhang Yang's previous fraud, the previous false accusation is likely to be invalid."
Hearing that his client had a chance to be released, Zhang Yang was sincerely happy for him: "If Mr. Su is found not guilty, when can he be released?"
Lawyer Cao thought that Ms. Su's fiancé had a very good relationship with her and could not wait for her to be released from prison.
He smiled and said, "If everything goes well, we can overturn the verdict in court."
Zhang Yang's face suddenly froze. He had already made an appointment with Shi Yuxuan and Bai Ruowei that night. How was he going to accompany them in the afternoon and evening?
But Lawyer Cao quickly continued, "Even if the court overturns the verdict, you can't go back until the next day. According to regulations, you still have to go back to the prison to go through the formalities."
As long as it wasn't on Christmas Day, it would be fine. As for the morning of the trial, as Suri's loyal servant, of course he would go.
"By the way, Lawyer Cao, take a look at this person. Do you recognize him?" Zhang Yang took out his mobile phone and showed him the photo of Zhang Yang talking to the man that day.
After taking a closer look, Lawyer Cao said, "I don't know this person. Only lawyers can see Ms. Su before the trial. Please give me a copy of the photo. I'll take a look at it tomorrow. Maybe she knows."
Zhang Yang immediately sent the photos to Lawyer Cao, and the two chatted about the case for a while.
Before leaving, Zhang Yang asked, "By the way, Lawyer Cao, do you know any private detectives who are good at finding people?"
Lawyer Cao was startled, but he immediately said, "Yes, I know someone here. He has many connections on both the black and white sides."
Zhang Yang was delighted. It seemed that it was right to ask him. Lawyers like them had many connections. "Then give me the contact. I can use it."
"Oh, okay." Lawyer Cao wrote down the contact number and address of a person named Chu on the paper.
"Thank you, but this is my own business. Please don't mention it to President Su, okay?"
Lawyer Cao smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as it's not beyond the scope of the law, I won't say anything."
Zhang Yang took the note from the table: "Thank you then."
……
Coming out of the coffee shop, Zhang Yang glanced at the time. It was almost ten o'clock in the evening.
This is the time when he plays the role of Xia Xueqi's online bootlicker.
Since participating in the dating variety show the day before yesterday, her reputation has immediately returned to normal, and she seems to be even busier than before.
When I sent her voice messages last night and the night before, she seemed very tired and was even gasping for breath while talking.
When talking to himself, his voice was intermittent, and he made "uh... um..." sounds from time to time.
He lamented that it was not easy to be a big star. She took time out of her busy schedule to talk to him while she was probably participating in some business activities. He had to advise her to take care of her health.
"Qi Gege, are you there?"
In less than half a second, a sweet voice came from the other end: "Yes, I'm waiting for your message."
"I read the news these days and heard that you just accepted a new movie, 'The Wandering Moon', just one day ago. It's a big science fiction production. Congratulations!"
"Yes, Sister Chen finalized it with the director yesterday. It was because you helped me improve my reputation on the variety show that day that this role came to me."
"Not bad. You've acted in spy dramas, palace dramas, fairy tales, and workplace dramas before, but never in science fiction dramas. Why do you want to take on this kind of drama this time?"
At this moment, Xia Xueqi was actually at home, in the room full of costumes. She looked around the room at all the costumes and blurted out in a daze, "That's because we're still short of two space suits."
"What?" Zhang Yang didn't react for a moment to what "two more space suits are missing" meant.
Xia Xueqi quickly explained: "What I mean is... to challenge my acting skills and be able to perform at a high level even in a space suit."
"Haha, I can't imagine how I can show off my acting skills in a space suit. If I were to act opposite you, I would probably just stand there motionless."
"It's okay, just stay still down there and I'll move."
"I'm down there?" Zhang Yang frowned and looked back at the scene: "Oh, are you talking about repairing the spacecraft in space?"
"Well... uh... yes..." Xia Xueqi on the opposite side seemed to start breathing again.
When Zhang Yang heard her voice, he still said with concern: "I know you are busy, but you must take care of yourself."
"Well... uh... I know, but..."
"But you can't overdraw yourself even when you are young. I know how hard you work." Zhang Yang said with concern in a gentle tone.
"You know how hard it is for me to endure?" Xia Xueqi temporarily stopped what she was doing and repeated his words.
Zhang Yang thought, I didn’t say you have to endure hardship. Yes, filming a movie definitely requires enduring fatigue. This must be what she meant.
He said with a relaxed look: "Well, others may not know, but I definitely understand."
Xia Xueqi's eyes suddenly filled with tears. It turned out that he knew everything. She bit her lip and said, "By the way, while talking about the new play, I almost forgot something important."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"Are you free at noon on Christmas Day?"
"Noon on Christmas Day?" Zhang Yang repeated. He quickly calculated in his mind that he had to go to court for Su Rui's trial in the morning, and Shi Yuxuan and Bai Ruowei had appointments with him in the evening, so he should have nothing to do at noon.
"You asked me, of course I'm free, so, are you planning on asking me out?"
"Yeah." Xia Xueqi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "Come to my home in S City and have lunch together."
It turned out that they were just having a meal together, which should be considered as a thank you for accompanying her on the variety show last time.
Originally Sister Chen had already paid. For a national goddess like her, having a meal with a dog like me should be considered a great blessing.
But Zhang Yang didn't mind at all. As long as it was a reward from the customer, it would be delicious no matter if it was a soft meal or a hard meal.
He said, "Okay, I know your home. I'll be there at noon. You wait for me at home." "Thanks to Schrodinger's Kitten, Song Song Can't Sleep, and Orange? for the tips."
