Things moved much faster than Fang had anticipated. After receiving the news that the mask had been obtained but also that he had been caught, he immediately replaced the lawyer originally assigned to Qing She with Shangguan Yao.
By that afternoon, the lawyer had already arrived at the police station.
"Officer, hello. I am the lawyer specifically handling Miss Shangguan Yao's case. May I meet with her?" The man spoke politely.
This lawyer was somewhat well-known in the industry, so Zheng Rufeng was a bit surprised when he saw him. However, the lawyer did not recognize him, and he was quickly brought before Shangguan Yao.
"I'll be returning abroad in a couple of days. Is there any way to expedite this?" Shangguan Yao had only been detained at the police station for a few hours, but she was already feeling uncomfortable. She had matters to attend to overseas and couldn't afford to waste time here.
"I will do my best to help you get out," the lawyer assured her. He was clearly professional, and their conversation was being recorded and monitored, so it was impossible for them to speak freely.
"This contract is the one you signed with Mr. Zhou Xuan, correct?" he asked.
"Yes."
"Then there should be no problem. You just need to state that you have no connection with the person referred to as Lady Butterfly, and you should be released in about an hour."
"Is it really that simple?" Shangguan Yao was skeptical; what she had heard from the police earlier did not match this outcome. She wondered if this lawyer was lying to her.
"I am very familiar with domestic law, and I will ensure that everything is handled properly by the police for Miss Shangguan. You just need to wait until this afternoon," he replied confidently.
Since he had said so, Shangguan Yao nodded. If things could indeed proceed as quickly as he claimed, she wouldn't mind accepting it.
After a brief conversation, the lawyer went to submit his relevant documents at the police station. Lin Yuan observed everything from a distance.
Were they preparing to let Shangguan Yao go first? Bai Ling knew how serious the situation was and paid close attention.
"It seems so, but I don't think they will give up on Qing She. Shouldn't they prioritize stabilizing a ticking time bomb like him over this collaboration?" Lin Yuan remarked.
"What if someone tries to cut ties to survive?" Bai Ling replied.
"That's also a possibility," Lin Yuan acknowledged. "By the way, that other person has been brought back, right?"
"You'll have to ask Team Leader Zheng about that. He's been busy running around for you; remember to treat him to a meal later," Bai Ling suggested.
"Sure." Lin Yuan understood this was a matter of courtesy and nodded in agreement.
Sitting in his chair, with dark circles under his eyes, he clenched his fists as he watched the two officers seated before him.
They brought him in without saying a word. What did that mean?
For now, just sit tight; it’s not us who will interrogate you. If they hadn’t truly captured someone, they wouldn’t dare believe that they could breach the police station's network so easily. It seemed almost as if it was on par with Lin Yuan's skills.
"Who are you? My mother is waiting for me outside. Can you people from the police station stop randomly arresting people?"
He was confident in his abilities and didn’t believe anyone could see through him—except for that Lin Yuan.
"Be honest. Do you think your charges are minor?"
The two officers who knew the situation didn’t indulge him, immediately reprimanding him sharply.
Qing felt a surge of panic in his heart. What did they mean by that?
Just then, Lin Yuan pushed the door open and walked in. The two police officers exchanged glances and nodded, then one of them stepped out, making room for Lin Yuan.
"Menhua, right? Age?" Lin Yuan asked, holding a file.
This was the closest he had come to someone like him, yet there was still a hint of suspicion from the other side.
"You don’t need to pretend anymore. You should know about the Qing She and Butterfly incident; do I need to explain it all to you again?"
Hearing this, Qing’s heart sank completely. They had said they couldn’t find anything, hadn’t they?
"We're all in the same boat here. Didn’t you notice anything unusual about those previous events? I assume Mr. Fang has mentioned it to you as well."
"So what? Do you have any evidence of my crime?"
Qing remained nonchalant, sitting back in his chair as if nothing mattered.
"And even if you did, I don’t see anything wrong with staying at the police station; my mother nags me every day anyway."
Lin Yuan was genuinely puzzled.
"You dislike your mother?"
"It’s not that I dislike her; it’s just that she’s always meddling in everything—it’s annoying. She wants to control every aspect of my life."
"Have you ever thought about finding a job?"
Lin Yuan wasn’t in a hurry to ask him other questions; he was actually a bit interested in hearing more about this.
"A job? Do you know how hard it is to find one these days? And with my appearance, who would want to hire me?"
He tugged at his clothes and rolled up his sleeves, revealing ugly scars underneath.
At a glance, it was clear he had been burned.
"That woman didn’t want me back then; what good does pretending to be pitiful do now?"
Seeing that he could now make money, she wanted to come over and curry favor with him. How could she be called a mother? Lin Yuan showed no reaction to this.
In any case, don't think that cybercrime isn't a crime. You're implicated in more than just that; you know about the drug trafficking involving the Azure Serpent, right? I just need you to answer one question. Do you know a person named Shangguan Yao?
He stared intently into the other person's green eyes, where he detected a hint of unfamiliarity.
I don't know her. If you're here to arrest me because of her, then there's really no need for that.
It seemed he truly didn't recognize her. Lin Yuan felt a bit disappointed.
We're not arresting you just for Shangguan Yao. Here are some documents regarding your criminal evidence. If there are no questions, just sign at the bottom.
Being thrown this right away left him somewhat stunned. Have I been discovered?
Aren't you supposed to be able to call a lawyer here? I want my lawyer to come over.
Hearing this familiar phrase, Lin Yuan rubbed his temples. You want to contact President Fang, right?
There's something very harsh I need to tell you: among the three of you, he prioritized Shangguan Yao, so the lawyer is with her.
What? After all this time working with President Fang, he won't even send a lawyer for me?
What kind of joke is this? I'm just doing some simple auxiliary work; how can you blame me for all this?
Lin Yuan thought that despite being educated, he seemed to lack legal awareness even more than himself.
Whether you sign this or not, you'll spend the rest of your life in prison. If you behave well, there might be a chance for a reduced sentence; it all depends on how you think about it.
As for the Azure Serpent, Lin Yuan didn't plan on telling him that the other party had chosen Shangguan Yao.
