Episode 21

Guo Xiaoyu defended Bai Xiao and asserted that she would never take over the case commissioned by Gao Lang for his current girlfriend.Yan Fei and Ren Jiatong hold the opposite view, believing that Bai Xiao has always been professional and will not let personal feelings affect his work judgment.The results confirmed the latter's view. Anniversary announced that Bai Xiao has officially accepted Xia Jun's suspected bribery case, and relevant information and tasks will be issued soon.Guo Xiaoyu was very surprised when he heard this, while Yan Fei looked cold throughout the whole process and left without making a statement, which attracted the attention of others.

That night, Zhou Xian saw that Yan Fei was still working overtime, so he stepped forward to remind her that the report was not urgent and could be submitted the next day.Watching Yan Fei leave, Zhou Nian felt equally good. Then he went to the boxing gym alone to vent his emotions, but he never had the courage to contact Yan Fei.

Ren Jiatong and Jiang Chen checked and exchanged information on the existing clues and evidence in the bribery case.Guo Xiaoyu was worried that Ren Jiatong would be emotionally hurt. After she hung up the phone, she mentioned to her that there seemed to be a problem between Jiang Chen and Yan Fei.Listening to Guo Xiaoyu's analysis, Ren Jiatong felt mixed. He was a little helpless and embarrassed, and he didn't know whether to tell the other party about his relationship with Jiang Chen. However, he still felt warm to Guo Xiaoyu's concern in his heart.

Ren Jiatong and Jiang Chen discussed the matter on the phone, and the two intended to promote the relationship between Anniversary and Yan Fei.Jiang Chen made an appointment to meet with Anniversary on the grounds of investigating evidence, and Ren Jiatong deliberately revealed to Jiang Chen that Anniversary had repeatedly checked Yan Fei's Moments. As expected, Yan Fei was very happy when she found out and couldn't wait to go to Ren Jiatong to ask for details.

On the other hand, when Jiang Chen met Song Yifan on his way to find Zhou Xian, he asked him whether Junan prohibited office romances.Song Yifan bluntly stated that although the law firm does not encourage the development of overly complicated emotional relationships among colleagues, he personally believes that young people should not do things that they regret due to excessive avoidance.

Later, Jiang Chen made an appointment to have dinner on the anniversary and talked about love.Anniversary admits that he has a crush on Yan Fei, but their backgrounds are very different. Although the freedom of love and marriage is protected by law, in reality, human relationships, family acceptance, and various problems that may be faced in the future need to be considered.

Anniversary thinks that he is nearly 30 years old, and love plays a limited role in life. As a lawyer, he needs to identify and avoid potential risks beforehand. If the risk of a relationship is too high, it is better not to start it.Jiang Chen felt mixed after hearing this, but he did not agree with Zhou Xian's point of view. Although Zhou Xian supported Song Yifan's words of "trying not to leave any regrets", everyone's situation is different and their choices will be different.

After Jiang Chen met with Zhou Xian, he found Ren Jiatong, and the two sat down and talked outside a street store.After repeated consideration, Jiang Chen suggested to Ren Jiatong that he could withdraw from the Know Your Majesty Project to protect their relationship and at the same time ensure that Ren Jiatong gets his favorite job opportunity.But these words sounded like charity to Ren Jiatong. She was so emotional that she immediately broke up with her and showed that she was fully capable of retaining him based on her strength. The two broke up on bad terms.

That night, Yan Fei ran into Yan Da's girlfriend who was dating abroad on her way home.The other party made a special trip back to China to look for Yan Da because of her sudden loss of contact and cold treatment of her feelings.Yan Fei feels the same way, and she knows that this sudden severing of contact will bring deep hurt and self-doubt to the person involved.

Jiang Chen received a call from Yan Fei and went to the bar to chat with her.The two of them were each trapped by their emotions, and they poured out their sorrows over wine.The next day, the atmosphere in the law firm was obviously depressing, and everyone was immersed in work.Guo Xiaoyu was keenly aware of the anomaly and mistakenly believed that Ren Jiatong, Jiang Chen and Yan Fei were involved in a love triangle. She was too nervous to say anything and could only secretly observe the expressions of several people from time to time.

Ren Jiatong's team submitted surveillance screenshots of Xia Jun's meeting with the other party and conducted a key analysis: based on the weight of the cash, it was difficult for an ordinary adult woman to easily lift a bag containing two million yuan with one hand. This physical contradiction directly revealed major doubts in the other party's confession.Anniversary expressed high recognition of this argumentation idea and said that relevant records will be submitted to all teaching lawyers, and subsequent scoring will be based on personal performance and teamwork ability.
