Dingxin Building, Zhongcheng Law Firm.
Now a quarter of the office area on the thirty-ninth floor is allocated for use by Li Haoxiang's legal team.
In Li Haoxiang's assistant office, a young woman with short, ear-length hair and sharp eyes was solemnly instructing the two n and one woman in front of her, "You're all clear about the general situation of this matter."
The short-haired woman warned, "Although this matter seems small, the boss specifically called to instruct us solemnly to handle it quickly and properly."
"You all know, the boss is currently with Lawyer Qin and Lawyer Mu, accompanying President An to negotiate the national project of Anlin Garden."
"The Binhai Anlin Garden project has an investnt of over 1.4 billion, and it's expected to receive governnt approval in a week or two."
"And the investnt for Anlin Garden's national project is certainly no less than ten billion."
"Once these two projects start running, we will naturally beco the signing law firm for these two projects…"
The short-haired woman saw the look of anticipation on the faces of the three people in front of her, and changed her tone to remind them, "However, there is a precondition, we must not ss things up, especially the things instructed by Expert Lin."
The three nodded slightly, and the leading man chuckled, "We all understand very well; Expert Lin is the core of the core. Assistant Miao, investigating and gathering evidence is our forte."
"By tomorrow morning, we will definitely find out where that guy went, what he did, and whom he t between the Phoenix Ho Farmhouse and the hospital during those seven or eight hours."
"Not a single minute will be missing from this seven-to-eight-hour tiline."
Assistant Miao nodded in satisfaction and said, "You are all experts in this area, with the connections, networks, and thods you rely on for work, and you understand priorities."
"But, I still want to remind you more than necessary."
"In this matter, Expert Lin wants the truth, your investigation must be based in evidence, don't get clever and ss things up, causing trouble for the boss."
The leading man laughed and explained, "Assistant Miao, others' rumors are untrustworthy."
"What we investigate is always the truth, only sotis the thods of obtaining the truth may be inappropriate."
"But for what you've instructed today, we can guarantee that there will be no trouble at all, just wait for our investigation report…"
Lin Jie returned ho before seven in the evening, just in ti for dinner.
He had already learned that Zhang Xiaoxiao and Yao Henan successfully obtained visas at the United States Embassy in Binhai.
Yao Henan giggled, "Uncle, when we got to the consulate, we contacted that Arican nad Elijah."
"He led us into a room, we answered questions from an Arican officer, and after a ten-minute conversation in English, we got the visa approval."
"Handling all the procedures took about half an hour altogether. Many people waiting in line looked at us with envy and resentnt."
"Stop showing off, just eat properly!"
Zhang Xiaoxiao said to Yao Henan and remarked to Lin Jie, "Don't they say Aricans follow procedures and act impartially? And isn't it true that they open doors for those with connections?"
Lin Jie chuckled, "Any governnt in any country deals with people, not cold machines, so using connections to bypass the queue is inevitable."
"Besides, we're not violating any rules, we're just skipping the line to save so ti."
He thought for a mont and continued, "Xiaoxiao, Nannan, although there's nothing lacking in the United States, you should look at so study abroad guides and ask around on study abroad forums to see what you need to bring."
"While there's still ample ti, you should prepare."
Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded and smiled, "We're going to the United States in mid-May, staying for two months before coming back for you and Kexin's wedding."
"Those two months will be enough for us to gain a deep understanding of the United States."
"If we really lack sothing, we can prepare when we return."
An Keng swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "Xiaoxiao, you should rent a bigger house in the U.S., so that when I and Miaomiao have ti, we can visit you."
Lin Jie directly interrupted her fantasy, "After this sumr, you'll be a dical College student; for the next few years, you should let go of the idea of traveling."
"I can tell you for certain, you won't have the ti or energy for it."
An Keng pouted and glared at Lin Jie angrily.
But after a few glances, she gave up and buried her head to eat.
An Keng understood very well; the guy in front of her ant what he said.
In the coming years, her life and those of twenty-nine others would be at his disposal.
Yao Henan whispered, "Uncle and Aunt Miaomiao can go to the U.S., can't they?"
Lin Miao shook her head and said, "With language barriers and unfamiliarity with the place, I'm not going to the U.S."
"As for my brother, unless there's an absolute necessity, I wouldn't let him go."
Zhang Xiaoxiao saw Yao Henan's hesitant look, smiled lightly and explained, "Ah Jie carries a disaster halo, wherever he goes, sothing happens. We've all got a psychological shadow."
"So, we all hope Ah Jie doesn't go far."
Lin Jie whispered, "The earthquake in the Bamboo Sea of Western Sichuan and the terrorism incident in Heidelberg, Germany weren't caused by . It was just bad luck, being at the wrong place at the wrong ti..."
Near eight-thirty in the evening, Lin Jie was surprised to see Yu Momo knock and enter the study.
"Brother Jie, am I disturbing you?"
Seeing her cheerful and pleasing face, Lin Jie pinched the bridge of his nose and said softly, "You're not disturbing , it's good to take a break too. Are you here to see Miaomiao?"
"I'm here to see Sister Kexin."
Saying this, Yu Momo handed over a jewelry box and said, "Brother Jie, this is the jewelry I borrowed from Sister Kexin. I wore it for an important promotional event."
"I originally planned to return it to Sister Kexin when I co to the party tomorrow."
"It's just that I suddenly have to attend a notice event tomorrow, so I don't have ti to co."
"Since Sister Kexin coincidentally isn't here, I'll leave it with you."
Lin Jie responded with an "oh", took the jewelry box and placed it casually on the desk, asking offhandedly, "Momo, you must be spending quite a bit on clothes and accessories now, right?"
Yu Momo leaned on the edge of the desk and smiled wryly, saying, "There's no other choice."
"Currently, my fa is still too small, so most events I just follow the big nas to gain popularity, earning little in appearance fees. But when it cos to outfits and shoes, those can't be skimped on."
"Thankfully, Sister Kexin pities and lets borrow her jewelry as a front, saving a lot on costs."
She reminded him again, "Brother Jie, you should still take a look at the jewelry, just in case there's an issue."
Understanding Yu Momo's caution, Lin Jie took the jewelry box again and opened it.
This was a very familiar set of pearl gold jewelry.
A pair of pearl earrings, a pearl pendant, and a pearl brooch.
Lin Jie recognized it; it was bought from Huang Xiaochui's shop at the Tianya Haijiao Resort two years ago.
"Why did you choose this pearl gold jewelry? Kexin's place has quite a few diamond pieces."
Yu Momo waved her hand, saying, "Sister Kexin's gemstone jewelry is sothing I can't handle right now."
"I think this pearl gold jewelry is very nice, with exquisite design and beautiful looks."
"While wearing them to events, I've had more than one person inquire about the origin of this jewelry."
Lin Jie reached out to take the pearl pendant, and smiled, "This set was crafted by a goldsmith with decades of experience."
"Let tell you so good news, in half a year, this goldsmith will collaborate with to open a jewelry store in Binhai. Then, you can freely wear the store's jewelry."
Yu Momo's eyebrows curved with joy and she said excitedly, "That's wonderful news, thank you, Brother Jie!"
Lin Jie smiled and said, "Perhaps by then, your fa will have greatly increased. Borrowing your popularity might bring quite a bit of clientele to the jewelry store."
Yu Momo giggled, "I'll take your words as good luck, Brother Jie."
She curiously asked, "Brother Jie, how did you co to know this master goldsmith?"
Recalling the past, Lin Jie simply smiled and said, "I ca to know the shop owner because Keng was in his little shop removing pearls and happened to remove a big pearl..."
When talking about pearls, Lin Jie felt as if there was a flash of light in his mind, as if sothing very important had just slipped away.
Yu Momo waited a while, but Lin Jie remained silent, staring intently at the pearl pendant.
This made her unable to resist feeling worried, asking, "Brother Jie, is there sothing wrong with this pendant?"
Lin Jie snapped out of his reverie, gently shook his head, and slowly said, "It's not the problem with the pearl pendant; it's that I thought of a solution."
"The reason an oyster produces pearls is because it's stimulated by sand or other foreign substances, thus secreting nacre to coat the intruder, eventually forming a pearl."
"Actually, this is a self-defense chanism of the oyster."
"A tumor is also alive, and it has its own self-defense chanisms. If I use intense external stimuli, maybe it could provoke a strong ergency response... "
"Perhaps using a sowhat radical adventurous approach can induce the tumor to undergo changes I'm aiming for?"
Yu Momo blinked her lively eyes and asked, "Brother Jie, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
Lin Jie gave her a smile and said, "Momo, thank you."
"You helped think of a feasible solution, though there are many issues, perhaps it's worth the risk to try it..."
