Chapter 151 - 151 145 The Relationship Between the Xie Family and Ah
?Chapter 151: 145: The Relationship Between the Xie Family and Ah Na Case (Second Update) Chapter 151: 145: The Relationship Between the Xie Family and Ah Na Case (Second Update) She whispered a sentence in his ear.
Then she took a step backward, leaning against the wall, “I want to watch.”
Xie Shang was about to be driven mad by her.
He implored, “Changling.”
Wen Changling had no mercy for him, just watching like a Devil King high on his throne, controlling him with eyes calm and clear.
Xie Shang remembered the absurd dream from last night, resigned himself, closed his eyes, and complied, but fully clothed, in front of her.
His neck arched back, the moonlight illuminating his face, the translucent pallor barely covering the redness at the corners of his eyes, the ultimate frigidity and the ultimate brilliance collided at this moment.

Jingan Champs, the most secluded of the three great tea houses in the capital, was the favorite among literati and scholars.
In the Tianzi No. 1 private room on the second floor, there were guests.
“Lawyer Chang, can you arrange for me to meet with Zhou Sheng?”
Lawyer Chang was Zhou Sheng’s defense attorney. And the one who wanted to meet with Zhou Sheng was his cousin, Pang Shifang.
Lawyer Chang set down his teacup and explained, “A suspect is not allowed to have any contact with the outside world before the case is closed.”
Pang Shifang looked anxious, “Can’t you think of a way?”
Lawyer Chang was a man of principles, not engaging in illegal acts, “Mr. Pang, if you have anything you wish to convey, I can relay the message for you.”
Better not to relay it, the fewer people who know some things the better.
“Nothing special, I just wanted to see my cousin.”
Lawyer Chang’s phone rang.
“Excuse me for a moment.” He went out to answer the call.
As soon as the door closed, Pang Shifang couldn’t contain his anxiety, appearing very apprehensive, “It must be someone taking revenge on them; I heard that they are suffering a lot inside, especially Zheng Lvhong, he seems to have gone blind.”
In the private room, there was a third person.
That person was leisurely lounging by the window, watching the busy passersby below, his gaze from on high like The Judge, judging the trivial crowd.
“Next,” the person turned his head and smiled, “is it your turn?”
Pang Shifang knocked over his cup by accident.

In Tianzi No. 3 private room on the second floor, there were also guests.
Shen Guoan walked in, the appointed time hadn’t yet arrived, but he was early, although Xie Shang had arrived even earlier, having ordered tea and waiting inside.
Shen Guoan closed the door.
“Mr. Xie.”
“Please, take a seat, Lawyer Shen.”
Shen Guoan was KE’s lawyer and also the right-hand man of Xie Shang’s father, Xie Liangjiang. He set down his briefcase and sat down; “Do you need something from me?”
Xie Shang poured him tea, “I have some questions to ask you.”
Shen Guoan was very respectful, “Please, ask.”
Xie Shang didn’t beat around the bush as he got straight to the point, “Do you know about the Wen Zhaoyang case from seven years ago?”
Shen Guoan didn’t change his expression and honestly said, “I’ve heard of it; I happened to be at the branch in Fragrant City at that time.”
“Has anyone from KE ever handled that case?” Xie Shang still wasn’t sure if Wen Changling was out for revenge or using them.
The Xie Family had a pivotal position in the legal field; it wasn’t hard for them to get involved in a case. Shen Guoan, a smart man, knew what Xie Shang was really asking.
“I don’t think so,” Shen Guoan said, “The Prosecutor’s Office brought the prosecution, and Wen Zhaoyang’s defense attorney was a highly respected senior lawyer from Flower City.”
That senior lawyer had already passed away, he was a man of integrity, and he wouldn’t have done anything to disadvantage his own client.
“My father, or my grandfather, have they ever touched this case?”
“Young Master,” this was a mistrust towards the two “Big Bosses.” As it concerned family matters, Shen Guoan didn’t dare to make unfounded comments, “I’m not clear on that, why not ask them yourself?”
Xie Shang didn’t want to startle the snake in the grass.
“Lawyer Shen,” Xie Shang elegantly sipped his tea, his tone soft and gentle, giving a friendly reminder, “I hope that no third party will know about our meeting today.”
This was a warning.
The Fourth Young Master of the Xie family might not be in KE, but he was renowned for his shrewdness and depth.
Shen Guoan felt a chill, “I understand.”
After finishing his tea, Xie Shang left the private room.
Jingan Champs was a symmetric building, with staircases on both sides leading up and down. As Xie Shang went downstairs, he glanced across inadvertently, pausing momentarily.
Pang Shifang.
