Hello, Mr. Major General

At this time, Luo Jialan was driving on the highway and on her way home.

A few police cars with flashing lights caught up from behind and forced her car to stop by the side of the road.

“What’s wrong? We weren’t speeding, were we?” Luo Jialan was baffled. She asked the driver in front of her, who said that it was indeed within the speed limit.

A policeman knocked on the window and showed her his ID. He motioned for her to get out of the car and asked, “Ms. Luo Jialan?”

She nodded. “Yes, it’s me. What’s your name? Which police district are you from? I wasn’t speeding. Why did you stop my car? I want to file a complaint!”

The policeman shook his head helplessly and said, “Ms. Luo Jialan, we just received a report that you were suspected of being involved in a personal injury case. Please go back and assist us in the investigation.”

“What?! You have the wrong person, right? How can I be related to a personal injury case?!” Luo Jialan was furious. Just as she was about to say, “I want to find my lawyer”, she suddenly thought of Cai Shengnan…

Just now, she was so angry that she did give Cai Shengnan a beating.

In fact, at first, she just wanted to slap her, but Cai Shengnan didn’t fight back, so she became more and more excited.

She thought Cai Shengnan thought she was in the wrong, so she let her hit and scold him…

Luo Jialan’s eyes flickered, and she suddenly asked, “Who called the police? I have the right to know who falsely accused me!”

“I don’t know whether you were falsely accused or not. The one who called the police was your lawyer, Cai Shengnan. She has gone to the hospital to have her injuries examined. You should go back with us first to take a statement.”

“It was really her?! You don’t know, she…”

Luo Jialan suddenly couldn’t continue. How was she going to tell the police?

Because she forced Cai Shengnan to use false evidence to frame others, Cai Shengnan rejected her, so she was so embarrassed that she got angry and beat her up?

But then again, Cai Shengnan didn’t seem like a person who would sacrifice herself for justice?

Luo Jialan’s face was stiff. She finally understood that she had been conned by Cai Shengnan…

“Wait a minute, I want to call my lawyer.” Luo Jialan took out her phone.

The police officer next to her said gently, “Your lawyer? Didn’t you just put your lawyer in the hospital?”

“I’ve already fired her. I have a new lawyer.” As Luo Jialan spoke, she found a name in her phone and immediately dialed it.

“Lawyer Jin? Can you come over? I need a lawyer right now. Yes, I’m Luo Jialan. Advance payment? Sure, no problem, I’ll transfer the money to you right away.” Luo Jialan didn’t say anything else, and she transferred 100,000 advance payment to Jin Wanyi’s lawyer bank account.

Compared to Cai Shengnan, Jin Wanyi could really be considered as someone who had a conscience.

After receiving the money, the contract was established.

The formal agency contract could be signed later.

Jin Wanyi immediately drove to the police station that Luo Jialan mentioned.

At this time, Luo Jialan had already been brought to the police station.

She refused to speak and kept waiting for her lawyer.

When Jin Wanyi came in, she saw Luo Jialan with a pale face and huddled in a hard wooden chair in the corner.

Jin Wanyi had met Luo Jialan once before. She knew that her name was Huo Jialan, but she didn’t know why she suddenly changed her name to Luo Jialan.

“Miss Luo, what can I do for you?”Jin Wanyi sat next to Luo Jialan with a smile on her face.

Luo Jialan told her the entire story and finally stressed with a bitter expression on her face, “I was just angry. She suddenly let go and didn’t want to be my lawyer anymore. I was so angry… I slapped her twice, but she actually called the police…”

Jin Wanyi was very familiar with the name Cai Shengnan.

When she found out that Luo Jialan actually hit Cai Shengnan, Jin Wanyi’s face immediately changed.

It wasn’t that she couldn’t defend Luo Jialan, but that Luo Jialan hit a lawyer, which offended almost all the lawyers.

Also, Cai Shengnan was highly esteemed and was very good at socializing. She was quite popular among the big law firms in Imperial City.

Her father was also an important figure in the American legal world.

Even though she was someone with such an identity, status, and profession, Luo Jialan still dared to hit her. Not only did she dare to hit her, but she also acted nonchalant about it after the fight. That was really too mean.

Jin Wanyi got an idea and said, “Miss Luo, don’t be agitated. I’ll call lawyer Cai and ask what happened.”

Jin Wanyi was now a famous lawyer. She was no longer the rookie lawyer with a strong sense of justice.

She had learned to be cautious, compromise, and see through appearances.

She asked for Cai Shengnan’s number from Luo Jialan. She walked to a corner of the room and started to call Cai Shengnan.

The phone rang several times before Cai Shengnan picked it up.

It was an unfamiliar number.

Cai Shengnan asked weakly, “May I know who’s calling?”

Jin Wanyi paused and said with a smile, “Are you lawyer Cai Shengnan? I’m Jin Wanyi, also a lawyer. Miss Luo Jialan wants me to be her lawyer. I’d like to take the liberty to ask, how is your injury?”

Cai Shengnan’s voice turned cold. “I’ve just had my injury checked, and it’s already within the scope of light injuries stipulated in the criminal law. If that’s what you want to know.”

The requirements for light injuries stipulated in the criminal law were actually very strict. The bruises and swelling caused by ordinary beatings actually weren’t considered light injuries.

There were strict legal standards for the identification of light injuries.

“Huh?! It’s really that serious?!”Jin Wanyi was stunned. “It was… it was all done by Miss Luo?”

Cai Shengnan replied affirmatively and sent the video of Luo Jialan beating her to Jin Wanyi. She then scanned the doctor’s examination report for her.

Jin Wanyi immediately saw the doctor’s report.

“… the cumulative length of the blunt-force wound on the scalp is six centimeters.”

This was the injury that Cai Shengnan had caused when she was pushed by Luo Jialan on the corner of the desk.

Just based on this, the minor injuries stipulated in the criminal law were quite serious.

The video of the beating, the soctor’s report, and the status of Cai Shengnan and her father, Cai Susumin, in the legal world determined that Luo Jialan wouldn’t be able to find any decent person to represent her.

Jin Wanyi immediately refunded the 100,000 advance to Luo Jialan and said, “Miss Luo, I can’t defend your case. I’m sorry, I’ll be leaving.”

Not only Jin Wanyi, but even the top lawyers in the capital’s legal world avoided her.

Luo Jialan stayed at the police station for an entire day and made countless phone calls, but she couldn’t find anyone who was willing to represent her.

Even if she offered a high price, no one was willing to stand up for her.

She didn’t know that during this day, the video of her hitting her lawyer had already spread all over the internet.

Lawyers all over the country were filled with indignation and came out one after another to declare that they would never defend this scum who beat up her lawyer!

In this way, even some people who were tempted by such a high lawyer fee didn’t dare to accept this case.

Luo Jialan had no choice but to defend herself.

However, her words were full of mistakes in front of those well-trained police officers, and she didn’t dare to tell them the real reason for hitting Cai Shengnan. Therefore, the procuratorate on this side quickly filed another case, charging her with intentional bodily harm.

At this time, the Procuratorate found that Luo Jialan already had a case, which was the charge of intentional homicide against Song Jinning. It was charged by another Procuratorate and she had already been tried in court once.

This was another case committed during the trial. It was obvious that this criminal suspect had a criminal record of intentional injury.

The court that tried Song Jinning’s case didn’t receive any new evidence within the stipulated time. They only knew that she had hit her lawyer again, so they didn’t plan to wait any longer. They had already decided on a first-instance verdict.

Luo Jialan had been locked up in the detention center for 48 hours. After paying a sum of bail, she could finally go home.

She didn’t know how she had gotten to this point.

Sitting in the car, she covered her face with her hands and cried. She was in a state of panic.

Was she going to lose everything?

Not only was she going to lose her huge fortune, but also her personal freedom?!

Why were these people unwilling to let her go?

She was like Gu Nianzhi, an orphan without parents. Why would Huo Shaoheng rather have Gu Nianzhi than her?!

At least she still had the huge trust fund left behind by Huo Guanyuan. Although it wasn’t more than Huo Shaoheng’s wealth, who would complain about having more money?

Luo Jialan felt that the whole world had let her down.

In her despair, she picked up her phone and desperately called the strange number Aiko Yamaguchi had left behind. She texted her and told her what had happened to her. She told her that she was almost cornered and that Gu Nianzhi was going to be engaged to Huo Shaoheng…

Luo Jialan had actually thought of this number as a tree hole.

All the unspeakable things that she couldn’t say in front of others were poured out towardsthat number.

She finally felt better after a bout of hysteria.

She got out of the car with a poker face when she arrived at the West Mountain Villa and returned to her home.

The first thing she did when she got home was to take a shower and change her clothes.

When she came out of the bathroom, Luo Jialan habitually picked up her phone to take a look. Suddenly, her breathing stopped.

The four-digit number that she had been unable to reach had actually replied to her text message!

She quickly swiped open her phone and entered the text message to read it carefully.

Aiko Yamaguchi had indeed not left her in the lurch!

The first text message: [ Gu Nianzhi has been searching for her father, Gu Xiangwen. ]

The second text message: [ I’ll tell you where Gu Xiangwen is. You can use this information to exchange for her freedom from prosecution. ]

The third text message: [ This is the only way to make them see Gu Nianzhi’s true colors clearly. ]
