After tidying up his things, Yi Pin went to work. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. At least Shen Yu didn't come today, so he could finally work in peace.
He had investigated many cases similar to Xiao Qi's. In this digital age, even crimes came in all strange shapes and forms.
Xiao Qi's case was quite common, and the number of victims was countless.
In this impetuous society, one should keep a pure heart, stay true to the original aspiration, and only then could one achieve success.
After lunch, seeing that Gu Yang wasn't very busy, Yi Pin opened his mouth and told him that he wanted to take on a case. He also told Gu Yang about Xiao Qi's case.
The two shared their opinions and chatted enthusiastically.
Just then, Shen Yu came in from outside. He glanced at the two of them.
Listening to their discussion about the ins and outs of the case, he roughly understood it.
The corners of his mouth curled up as he stared at the two chatting about their ideas.
Looking at Yi Pin in casual clothes with a beaming face, Shen Yu guessed that he must be happy because he could take on a case. He was really a person who showed his emotions on his face.
Seeing Yi Pin being stumped by Gu Yang's questions and not knowing how to break through, the corners of Shen Yu's mouth curled up.
"Shen Yu, what's your opinion?" Gu Yang suddenly turned around and asked Shen Yu.
Looking at their expectant looks, Shen Yu shrugged and said with a smile, "I think nude loans are inherently illegal. The loan interest rate is too high, which is very obvious and has exceeded the national standard. It can be said to be illegal usury."
After saying that, Shen Yu glanced at Yi Pin intentionally or unintentionally, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
Hearing this, Yi Pin's eyes lit up. This really woke him up like a bolt from the blue.
He could start from this aspect.
Shen Yu had brought some food, a lot of it in bags.
Gu Yang even wondered if he was really that hungry. Usually, he had such a small appetite that he would be full after just a few mouthfuls. But today, it was really a rarity that he brought food here.
"Alright, let's eat first," Shen Yu said coldly.
"Okay, let's go and eat first, Xiao Yi!"
Gu Yang patted Yi Pin on the shoulder and smiled.
At this moment, Yi Pin was in a bit of a dilemma. He and Shen Yu were like fire and water. Out of his pride, he shouldn't accept handouts.
But... he was really hungry, and the fragrant smell of the food wafted into his nose. He felt that not eating would be a disservice to his stomach.
So he stood up awkwardly and walked over.
The corners of Shen Yu's mouth curled up slightly with a hint of a smile.
Watching Yi Pin's enthusiastic way of eating, Gu Yang was quite shocked. It seemed that Shen Yu had foresight. He himself was already too full to eat, but Yi Pin was still going strong and even finished everything in the end. It was mainly because once he picked up his chopsticks, he couldn't put them down.
"Eat... eat more!" Gu Yang smiled and patted Yi Pin on the shoulder. Shen Yu frowned at that hand but then the frown quickly disappeared.
"Shen Yu, what's gotten into you today? Why did you even buy a fruit platter?"
Gu Yang whispered in Shen Yu's ear, looking quite puzzled.
"I want to eat. Is that not okay?" Shen Yu shrugged and smiled.
"Okay, okay, okay. You can eat whatever you want." Gu Yang raised his eyebrows.
Yi Pin saw that all the fruits in the fruit platter were his favorites. For a foodie like him, it was the most painful thing in the world to see the food in front of him but not be able to eat it.
"But I'm a bit full. I can't eat it. Just throw it away!" Shen Yu said indifferently, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
"Don't! I think Xiao Yi can still eat it, right? Xiao Yi." Gu Yang smiled and pushed the fruit platter in front of Yi Pin. Yi Pin had no choice but to accept it. In the spirit of cherishing food, he decided to help finish it.
Finally, Yi Pin got to eat the fruits. Having some desserts after a meal was really a treat.
Watching Yi Pin enjoy the fruits, Shen Yu turned around and smiled.
"By the way, there are still some areas in your thesis that need improvement. Although your plagiarism rate is already very low, I think there's still room for progress." Shen Yu turned back and looked at Yi Pin, who was gobbling up his food. The corners of his mouth curled up in an involuntary smile.
Yi Pin looked up at Shen Yu, who was wearing simple jeans and a woolen sweater.
He was clearly a man in his thirties, but he looked so young, just like an eighteen - or nineteen - year - old boy.
Yi Pin couldn't really hear what he was saying and just remained silent without responding.
"Come with me to school later," Shen Yu said coldly, with a slight smile on his lips.
"What? Me go with you? Why? I'm not going." Yi Pin's first reaction was to refuse. He hadn't even heard what Shen Yu said before.
Shen Yu shrugged, "So you don't want to graduate smoothly?"
Hearing this, Yi Pin was furious. This cunning man always used this trick to pressure others, and it always worked.
Gu Yang had been quietly watching. Shen Yu had been acting a bit strange lately, different from before.
Finally, out of helplessness, Yi Pin got in the Ferrari with Shen Yu and they drove to school.
The atmosphere in the car was extremely awkward. Neither of them spoke. Yi Pin kept looking out of the window, feeling the cold air blowing on his face.
"You... want to take on a case?" Shen Yu asked nervously, looking back at Yi Pin.
"Yeah!" Yi Pin replied coldly, as if saying one more word would be a waste.
"Then... keep it up!" Shen Yu said with a cold smile. He really wanted to remind Yi Pin that the world wasn't as simple as he thought, but then he thought that since Yi Pin was so full of fighting spirit for his first case, it would be better for him to figure things out on his own.
After all, life was his own, and he would learn from his mistakes.
"Yeah!" Yi Pin replied coldly again. He glanced at Shen Yu out of the corner of his eye. This man lived a carefree life, driving a Ferrari, getting a state salary, and owning a law firm. If it weren't for his bad habits, he could actually be considered quite successful.
But unfortunately, this man had touched the dirty bottom - line of humanity.
Then there was another period of silence. When they arrived at school, looking at the long - missed playground, Yi Pin suddenly felt nostalgic. At least when he was in school, he was carefree. As long as he studied well, he could live a good life.
But after entering society, everything seemed to have changed. The responsibilities on his shoulders were getting heavier and heavier. And the case of his little uncle's girlfriend was urgent. If it wasn't solved soon, it might be forgotten by the world.
The two of them stayed in the library to make a lot of corrections and also collected a lot of useful information.
Shen Yu's guidance was incisive. He found all the deficiencies.
Yi Pin didn't know if he was just putting on a show or really helping, but at this moment, Shen Yu, who was seriously helping to correct the thesis, seemed to be emitting a faint light.
