Lai Wenyan asked again, "What about those from the provinces?"
Although most good lawyers are in the Capital, at a ti like this, it’s not feasible to be picky. If no lawyer defends Lai Shengxia, it’s as good as giving up.
"There are so in the provinces," the voice of an old friend ca through the receiver, "I’ll call around and if soone is willing to take the case, I’ll get back to you."
anwhile, Ouyang Qian received a call back from her assistant.
Today, with such an unexpected event, many things required secretarial handling.
Ouyang Qian asked her assistant to contact the secretary and have them co to the police station as soon as possible. She was told the secretary’s phone was off and their whereabouts unknown.
"What about their parents’ house?"
"Called, and they said they haven’t returned ho."
Hearing this, Ouyang Qian was sowhat anxious but could do nothing.
After she hung up, Lai Wenyan also ended his call.
Old Madam Lai sat on the chair accompanied by her younger granddaughter, squeezing Lai Yuaner’s little hand, "Aren’t all those lawyers money-driven? Why is no one taking the case? If they think the money isn’t enough, we’ll just offer more!"
Lai Wenyan didn’t respond, his expression not looking good.
On the phone, his friend also inford him that even without official docunts, the incident had widespread implications, and the authorities might intend to investigate thoroughly and deal strictly.
Lai Yuaner couldn’t help but speak, "Then call Tang Li over and have her testify for her sister!"
Ouyang Qian and her husband were not as naive as their younger daughter.
As things stood, Tang Li’s testimony was already unimportant because the police had actual evidence in hand!
In a criminal case, even if the victim doesn’t press charges, the police will still capture and prosecute the criminal.
Old Madam Lai thought of sothing else, "Why don’t one of you go to the Tan Palace?"
Song Baiyan has an interest in Yuanyuan. If Yuanyuan’s sister is in trouble, as long as the Lai Family seeks help, Song Baiyan wouldn’t stand by and do nothing.
Things may seem difficult, but once Song Baiyan gets involved, it becos manageable.
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Qian was visibly tempted.
Yes, as long as Song Baiyan steps in, everything can be suppressed!
Besides this idea, Lai Wenyan could not think of any other solutions. Only by getting Xiaxia out could there be room for maneuver.
Lai Yuaner didn’t quite understand, "Why go to the Tan Palace?"
At this point, Ouyang Qian stopped hiding from her daughter.
She pulled Lai Yuaner’s right hand, "There’s sothing the family hasn’t had a chance to tell you. The reason you weren’t allowed to go to the Fu Family is because His Excellency has taken an interest in you."
His Excellency?
Lai Yuaner looked puzzled.
"A few days ago, your dad and Song Baiyan ran into each other at the club and had dinner together. Song Baiyan ntioned you at the table, and judging by his words, he seems to have a special interest in you."
Of course, Lai Yuaner knew Song Baiyan.
Song Baiyan had a history with her cousin and attended a birthday banquet at the Lai family.
However, she had always considered Song Baiyan as an elder.
Lai Yuaner still rembers the inauguration of the New President. Song Baiyan, just in his early thirties, was younger than her father, more mature than ordinary young n, and held such a high position. Hearing her mother say this, her little face couldn’t help but turn red.
At nineteen years old, Lai Yuaner wasn’t unfamiliar with liking the opposite sex. Thinking of Song Baiyan, her heart couldn’t help but race.
It was sothing she never dared to imagine, being fancied by a male elder.
Besides—
Not talking about Song Baiyan’s appearance, just his current status alone carried an unattainable allure.
Seeing that her younger daughter had no reaction, Ouyang Qian continued, "If we weren’t forced, your dad and I wouldn’t consider using this way."
