Chapter 103: Finding a Lawyer

After showering in the bathroom, a refreshed Shen Yan took a white short-sleeved T-shirt, a blue shirt, and a pair of black casual trousers from the wardrobe.

After dressing formally, he left the house under Fang Tian's shy gaze.

After eating breakfast on the street, Shen Yan made a phone call to Huang Shuren; to find a professional criminal lawyer, the Law School could provide the most pertinent advice.

Remembering the favor of Shen Yan's assist, Huang Shuren took his matter quite to heart and immediately provided several phone numbers.

After making contact, Shen Yan braved the torrential rain and drove straight to Yuan Xianghe Law Firm.

The person responsible for receiving Shen Yan was named He Yichen—of course, not the He Yichen from *Silent Separation*, just the same name; he was a tall man of 1.8 meters with neat short hair, a slanted fringe covering his forehead, and a black shirt paired with dress trousers, looking extraordinarily handsome.

He Yichen was a postgraduate who had graduated from Hangzhou University five years ago, specializing in criminal law; due to his solid professional skills, he was now thriving in the legal world and was clearly a rising star.

This Yuan Xianghe Law Firm was one he had opened in partnership with two others.

Shen Yan did not waste words and went straight to the point, recounting the sequence of events.

"Senior Brother He, what I said on the phone earlier was too brief; it's like this..."

He Yichen was clearly well-versed in this area and said without hesitation, "In a situation like Fang Tian's, if a forensic injury assessment hasn't been done yet, it can absolutely be resolved through negotiation in advance; there's no need to take it to court, and even if negotiations fail, there is still a lot of room to maneuver."

"First, the hoodlum provoked the incident, and the switchblade also belonged to the hoodlum; in the situation where Fang Tian was being beaten by a group, his act of retaliatory injury has a high probability of being judged as legitimate self-defense."

This sentence from He Yichen was like a reassurance, allowing Shen Yan to heave a sigh of relief.

The situation was much better than he had anticipated; he should be able to give Fang Tian an answer.

Consequently, Shen Yan entrusted the case entirely to He Yichen to strive for a negotiated settlement, while he himself drove home, preparing to tell Fang Tian this good news.

Passing by a shopping mall, Shen Yan remembered that Fang Tian had been soaked like a drowned rat by the heavy rain yesterday and her clothes needed to be washed and dried; clearly, they wouldn't be dry in a short time.

So he turned in and bought two sets of women's clothing.

Just as he returned home, Shen Yan saw a figure wearing a bathrobe and slippers, mopping the floor diligently; the slippers were wet, making "creak, creak" sounds as they stepped on the floor.

"Didn't I tell you to get some good rest? Why are you mopping the floor?" Shen Yan said softly.

Facing Shen Yan, Fang Tian was still a bit embarrassed; she gave a shy smile and said, "I'm perfectly fine. I made the boss's floor dirty yesterday, so I just wanted to clean it up."

Shen Yan pursed his lips in amusement; such a simple-minded girl was truly rare and commendable, and she was especially good at serving others—it seemed that just as Shen Yan sat down on the sofa, a cup of hot water was already brought over.

Shen Yan took a sip of water and said directly, "I went to see a lawyer just now. The lawyer said that since the hoodlum hasn't had a forensic injury assessment yet, we can first strive for a negotiated settlement. If that really doesn't work, he will first bail your brother out, and he is confident he can get your brother acquitted."

"Really! Thank you, Boss!" Fang Tian was instantly overjoyed; there was nothing more worth being happy about than this.

Looking for the boss was indeed the right choice.

The corners of Shen Yan's mouth lifted slightly; he patted his thigh and signaled, "Come over and rest for a while."

Fang Tian felt a bit ashamed, but she would never refuse her boss's request, nor did she want to, so she shyly sat sideways on Shen Yan's lap.

Before, she had always felt that Shen Yan was a gentle and refined gentleman, but after last night, this idea was completely overturned.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call Shen Yan a big bad wolf; his needs in that regard were particularly intense, and every time they had intimate contact, Fang Tian could feel that irresistible power and scorching emotion surging in like a tide.

Facing that situation, she felt as if she had turned into a helpless little chick, nakedly exposed before this fierce "eagle."

It made one feel fearful yet unable to stop.

It was a very strange feeling.

Shen Yan's right hand wrapped around her waist, while his left hand reached in from the slit of the bathrobe, landing straight on her plump, smooth thigh.

He said, "If things go smoothly, your brother will be able to come out in these two days."

"Mm!" Fang Tian nodded with a blushing face, tentatively wrapping her hands around Shen Yan's neck; she wasn't rejected, which gave her the feeling of being held in her boyfriend's arms.

That was how it was acted out in TV dramas.

Fang Tian had clearly just showered and smelled fragrant; Shen Yan leaned in to sniff her hair and neck, leaving little traces with his lips.

Fang Tian only felt her whole body go limp, as if she didn't have a single bone, collapsing into Shen Yan's arms with blurred eyes, murmuring "Boss."

"Don't worry, I will take good care of you from now on," Shen Yan coaxed while holding Fang Tian.

It was the first time Fang Tian had been treated so gently by a man, and her whole body melted; she tentatively leaned her head against Shen Yan's neck, enjoying his sudden gentleness.

Fang Tian came from the countryside and had conservative thoughts, knowing only that one should be loyal to one person; now that she had given her whole body and heart to Shen Yan and was being treated so gently, she was so happy she could fly on the spot.

She didn't even have the heart to worry about her brother's matter, just thinking about staying in Shen Yan's arms and being with him forever; as for other things, if the sky fell, the man would naturally hold it up.

Having just become a real man, Shen Yan was in the stage of savoring the taste; his hand rested on Fang Tian's thigh, and as he touched it, he couldn't help but move upward, and Fang Tian cooperated to the best of her ability.

Every man likes a woman like Fang Tian who is obedient, sensible, and doesn't ask for status; Shen Yan proactively pressed his lips onto those full red lips while picking up Fang Tian and walking toward the master bedroom.

"The spring night is short and the sun rises early; from now on, the monarch will not attend morning court"—only now did Shen Yan truly understand the meaning of this sentence; women are like water, making one unable to stop.

Another two hours passed; at one o'clock in the afternoon, the torrential rain continued, as if the sky had a big hole in it, pouring out its tears endlessly.

After a long sigh, Shen Yan lay flat on the bed, satisfied, panting slightly, while Fang Tian was already limp like mud, too lazy to even move a finger.

Her breathing was rapid, her eyes blurred, as if she were savoring the aftertaste.
