"Trick me?"
Du Heng suddenly burst out laughing.
Wu Shengnan didn't understand. "Even close brothers keep clear accounts. It's not as if you and this Lawyer Zhou share some profound, life-altering connection, right? Do you trust her that much?"
Du Heng reached out, fastened his seatbelt, and said, "Lawyer Zhou is a very dedicated lawyer. I trust her professional ethics."
"If professional ethics were so useful, there wouldn't be so many occupational crimes," Wu Shengnan retorted disdainfully.
Du Heng's smile remained unchanged. "Let me finish. Once you hear me out, you'll understand why she'll uphold her professional ethics."
Wu Shengnan was a police officer and had seen plenty of the dark side of human nature. She was always cautious and suspicious of unfamiliar people. Especially with such a large sum of money changing hands, Du Heng seemed so nonchalant. He didn't even look closely at the contract or the legal fee payment. This made her feel more than a little worried.
