An Lan felt a headache coming on.
Li Yuchen did added fuel to the fire. âChief Judge Xu, I will remember what you said. Tomorrow morning if we found you stole a kiss from Ms. An, we would not remain silent. We will sue you until your reputation is ruined.â
âNo problem,â Xu Baohan nodded. âAs a judge, I understand that there are certain things I canât do without her consent, otherwise Iâll violate the article 237 of the criminal law.â
âThatâs right, itâs good that you are aware of that.â Li Yuchen nodded.
An Lan really wanted to kill Li Yuchen. He was selling her for the sake of the law firm. âAlright, alright, letâs go to my place. I admit defeat, guys.â
âLetâs go then.â
A light flashed in Xu Baohanâs eyes, then he followed her to the parking lot to get her car.
When they got into the car, Xu Baohan suddenly said, âAn Lan, do you want me to drive? Youâre quite tired today.â
An Lan thought for a second. Driving was boring. Sometimes, she just wanted to have someone drive for her while she sat comfortably in the front passenger seat.
âMy driving skills are very good,â Xu Baohan said. âIt has been three years since I broke the traffic laws.â
âReally?â An Lan was surprised. After all, she lose 30 points a year for violating traffic rules, and she had to ask friends to lend her driverâs licenses to cancel the points.
Xu Baohan nodded. âNext time, if you want to cancel points, you can ask me. My license never loses points.â
â...â
He seemed to have read her mind.
An Lan coughed and calmly looked up. âThank you, but I usually donât points either.â
âAn Lan, you have many good virtues,â Xu Baohan praised her generously, âNowadays, there are very few drivers who donât break the rules. If every citizen could follow the traffic rules like you, there wouldnât be so many traffic accidents every day.â
â... of course,â An Lan answered guiltily.
âIâll drive.â Xu Baohan took the keys from her. âYour car is better than mine. I need to get used to the feeling of being with someone rich.â
An Lan didnât know whether to laugh or cry.
She let him drive. It was the rush hour and the most congested time of the day. She could play with her phone while he drove.
On the way, she read news on her phone. There was no lack of social news. A coal mine collapsed in one province; the CEO of a certain listed company molested children, etc.
When she talked about the news with Xu Baohan, he would always comment that what some criminal law the suspects had committed and how many years theyâd get.
An Lan listened for a while and glanced at him with a strange look in her eyes.
âWhatâs wrong? Was my answer wrong?â Xu Baohan noticed her gaze. âThere are indeed loopholes in the law. We intend to propose a change to the higher-ups.â
âThe law canât change overnight.â An Lan leaned to him. âBut you act and talk like the book of criminal law. Arenât you angry at all about these cases?â
â... Iâve seen too many of them,â Xu Baohan said indifferently.
An Lan was silent. She had seen too many of them, too.
âAn Lan, youâre a lawyer. If you have the chance, you must make people like them receive greater punishment.â Xu Baohan gave her a deep look. âLawyers can also fight for justice.â
