Chapter 32.1 “All evil begins with licentiousness. Benefactor, just cut it (off)!”

Ji Lin obviously did not want to pay any more attention to Bai Duanduan, and he did not look at her again, he just got up and left. Bai Duanduan also finished her coffee and didn’t linger any longer, so she followed behind Ji Lin and hurried towards the office.

She had just followed Ji Lin into the elevator when her phone rang, and the caller ID displayed it was Xue Wen.

She had indeed called to ask about her cousin, Dai Qin, “I believe Qin Qin has already been there, have you talked to her?”

“Yes, we’ve talked, the representation agreement has been signed and all the precautions have been taken care of. Don’t worry, I told her to contact me immediately if she needs anything. I don’t have any other cases on hand right now so I will do this for you with all my heart. Your sister is like my sister, don’t worry.”

Xue Wen sighed and then said softly, “You should know by now that it’s not easy for Qin Qin. I had to go to a meeting just now and didn’t have time to tell you about it in detail, but that’s how her situation is. Duanduan, I’ll trouble you this time, but will this case be very tricky? After all, the opposing lawyer is teacher Lin? If there is anything I can do to help you, you must say.”

Xue Wen was like that. It was obvious that she had signed a contract with Dai Qin, and it was perfectly proper for her to devote herself to serving Dai Qin as her representing lawyer, but Xue Wen always felt that she had troubled her and was afraid that she would be unhappy. She always wanted to apologise for something that was obviously perfectly natural. Knowing that this was due to her upbringing causing her to have a somewhat ingratiating personality, Bai Duanduan only shook her head helplessly.

“What do I need your help for? I’m so good at this, do you think I can’t handle it? What’s wrong with Lin Hui? Haven’t you ever heard of the saying that “the color blue is made out of indigo but is more vivid than indigo”?¹ the student surpasses the master I’m sure I can beat him, just you wait!”

“But since Mr. Lin has made a name for himself in the past two years, his business volume has been steadily increasing, so he hardly ever personally takes on cases, right? Especially cases like Qin Qin’s, which are not large in terms of bid size, why has he stepped up this time?”

Just when Bai Duanduan was about to turn into Sheng Lin, Ji Lin suddenly made a sound.

“This is your first case after joining Sheng Lin. Although the bid amount is small, the case has gathered huge public attention, and your client stands on the opposite side of public opinion. In case it is not handled well, it could easily affect Sheng Lin’s reputation. If you can’t do it alone, I can ……”

Bai Duanduan looked at Ji Lin and was somewhat grateful. She didn’t expect Ji Lin to be cold-faced and warm-hearted. After spraying herself so much just now, it turns out that he was still supportive of his subordinates’ work. He was even afraid that she wouldn’t be able to handle it alone and wanted to send someone to handle it with her.

It’s time to show her attitude! Bai Duanduan said with great bravado, “No! I’ll manage it alone!”

As a result, she doesn’t know why, but when Ji Lin heard this answer from Bai Duanduan, his face was not at all relieved. He made a long face and gave Bai Duanduan an unhappy look before turning around and going back to his office.

It was simply inexplicable.

And what happened after that was even stranger.

Not long after Bai Duanduan returned to her desk, Ji Lin’s internal phone call came. His voice was still cold, however, she didn’t know if it was Bai Duanduan’s illusion, but there was something unnatural in that voice that was not easy to perceive. He coughed before saying, “Have you really not encountered any difficulties in this case?” 

Bai Duanduan’s head was full of question marks, “No.”

It had only been a short time, and Dai Qin hadn’t even sent her the rest of the information on the case, so what difficulties could there be?

Ji Lin let out an oh and then hung up.

? ? ?

Was this man possessed?

Only Bai Duanduan didn’t expect that this man, Ji Lin, wasn’t possessed by a weak evil spirit. After another half an hour, his call came again –

“Have you found any difficulties now?” He pretended to be natural and said, “It’s understandable that you would want to ask me for help and advice in a case like this.”

“……”

No matter how dull Bai Duanduan was, she realized that something was wrong, “Ji Lin, what exactly are you trying to say?” 

There was a moment of silence on Ji Lin’s end before his voice rang out again, “You can’t handle this case alone by yourself.” 

? ? ? 

How dare he come to steal her case source? ! Bai Duanduan had already been subjected to Lin Hui’s insults in such a way before, when Du Xinyi was inexplicably inserted into her case, and now that she was in Sheng Lin, it turns out that Ji Lin also has connections to place?

She immediately exploded, and now she didn’t even bother with the phone call, Bai Duanduan rushed straight into Ji Lin’s office, deciding to reiterate her position again and again, “No way! The bid of this case is not a big amount and the lawyer’s fee is limited. It’s my own case, you can’t put anyone in it. I’m the only one who can handle this case, no colleague can steal it from me!”

As a result, Ji Lin only pursed his lips, his voice calm and composed, “I didn’t think of inserting other colleagues, don’t worry.”

Bai Duanduan sighed with relief. It was hard to see that she was wrong about Ji Lin? Did he call herself so often just out of concern for his new colleague? However, before she had time to feel guilty, she heard Ji Lin continue to say –

“Because I’m going to put a boss directly in this case for you.”

? ? ? 

A boss? Which boss? Bai Duanduan looked at Ji Lin with a bewildered expression, vainly trying to see the flaw in his handsome but expressionless face, and Ji Lin finally condescended to give a slight hint of expression. Although he didn’t say a word, the current atmosphere already said everything. He looked at Bai Duanduan, his face vividly interpreting the words –

That boss is me. 

? ? ? 

Bai Duanduan was shocked, “You want to get your hands on this case of mine?! Ji Lin, do you have the nerve?! You’re a partner and you can’t even let go of a new employee’s case?! Didn’t you say that you would never look at this kind of case in your life? Didn’t you look down on it? Did I remember wrong? You said that just an hour ago? Don’t you know that a gentleman’s word is his bond? For a man, the most important thing is to keep his word!”

As a result, in the face of his own questioning, Ji Lin did not move, and very calmly and unperturbedly he continued to say,  “Oh, I’ve been forgetful lately, maybe I’ve got Alzheimer’s, so I don’t really remember some things.”

? ? ?

Bai Duanduan was shocked, there was a limit to how cheeky one could be, okay?

“It’s okay if you don’t remember, I’ll remember it well for you as your subordinate. An hour ago, you said if you were out of your mind to take on a case like this one day ……”

“I’ll make you breakfast for a month.”

Bai Duanduan was shocked, so shocked that she forgot to say the next half of her sentence, “What did you say?”

Ji Lin frowned and looked away, “I’ll make you breakfast for a month, I promise. This, take it too.” When he finished, his bony, long and white fingers handed herself a piece of paper.

Inwardly puzzled, Bai Duanduan took a look –

In black letters on white paper, it was two big words of dragon and phoenix upside down – he had really written his name upside down, and not to mention, the writing was surprisingly good ……
