Time rewound to an hour earlier.

Hosted by the Lawyers Association and undertaken by KE Law Firm, Jinzhou Law Firm, and Fanghe Law Firm, the “Rule of Law: The Power of Others” themed event was held at KE Law Firm. Nearly a hundred legal professionals were invited to attend this themed event, and dinner was served at a nearby hotel after the event ended.

The corridor lights cast the grey carpet in a dim yellow glow, with Xie Shang leaning against the wall, his shadow projected on the opposite wallpaper, accompanied by another shadow beside him.

“Fan Ziyi will have a layover at Imperial North International Airport tomorrow afternoon, you only have two hours,” one of them said.

The other’s expression showed difficulty, “What if I can’t convince him?” His face was round, his chin short, and he looked a bit naive and honest, “I’m not like you, so capable.”

“Uncle, you’re too modest,” Xie Shang replied.

The man standing by Xie Shang’s side was his uncle, Xie Jiwen. Outsiders might only remember Xie Jiwen for his marriages, as he was always marrying and divorcing, onto his sixth wife already.

But there are those who, wise as they may seem, are experts at hiding their capabilities.

Xie Liangjiang was too busy to attend such events, so Xie Jiwen, as something of a host, mingled among the various tables. Xie Shang disliked socializing, randomly picked a table, and sat down to dine.

During the meal, someone urged him to drink.

“Lawyer Xie doesn’t drink?”

“I can’t hold my liquor well, you all go ahead,” Xie Shang responded. He generally didn’t touch alcohol in a gathering of strangers.

He put down his chopsticks and simply folded his used napkin before placing it back on the table, signaling that he had finished eating and the waitstaff could come to clear the plates.

Meng Duolan was also at this table, seated next to Xie Shang, and upon seeing him eat very little, she couldn’t help but ask, “Is the food not to your taste?”

“Not at all.”

Meng Duolan called for a waiter, ordered a cup of warm water, not for herself, but placed it on the table’s lazy Susan and spun it towards Xie Shang.

Everyone at the table being lawyers, they understood.

Meng Duolan looked at Xie Shang from across another person, her gaze full of concern, “Would you like the chef to prepare something else for you?”

“No, thank you.”
