Nan Qingqing showed hesitation on her face.
"Little Yi, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, it’s just that I’m not very familiar with my elder brother yet, and I haven’t formally returned to the main family, so it’s difficult for me to make this request..."
Meng Yi’s eyes darted around before she bit her lower lip hard, steeled her heart, and spoke again, "Qingqing, didn’t you say before that you really liked my jade necklace that’s worth five million?"
"As long as you help me sort out your big brother and get me a powerful lawyer, I’ll give it to you."
Nan Qingqing lowered her gaze, deep in thought for a moment, and then feigned difficulty, "Alright, Little Yi, since you’re putting it that way, I’ll give it a try and do my best to persuade my big brother to help you."
She then looked towards the night outside, "But it’s so late now, my brother is probably already asleep. I’ll call him tomorrow morning and talk to him about this."
Meng Yi suppressed the unease in her heart and put on a flattering smile, "Qingqing, I’ll be waiting for your good news."
The next day, morning.
Meng Yi, who hadn’t slept all night, received a phone call from Nan Qingqing.
"Little Yi, I have news for you, big brother agreed!"
Meng Yi instantly became alert, her eyes lighting up, and her lips trembling, "Really?"
"Really," Nan Qingqing’s voice wavered, "But my big brother says that Attorney Li thinks the case is very simple. If you need help, he can send over his most skilled junior to assist."
At the end of her statement, she added, "Little Yi, would you mind?"
Meng Yi hesitated, but then thought of Attorney Li, the strongest lawyer in City A. His disciple couldn’t be that bad.
She clenched her teeth and made up her mind, "I don’t mind."
Nan Qingqing spoke cheerfully, "Then I’ll send the information to your phone right now, so he can get in touch with you."
Meng Yi expressed her gratitude, "Qingqing, thank you."
Just after hanging up the phone, Nan Qingqing turned to Nan Luzhi with a triumphant look on her face.
"Dad, Meng Yi believed it. Is the lawyer you prepared for her reliable? He won’t slip up, will he?"
Nan Luzhi took a sip of tea and replied leisurely, "Don’t worry. The person I’ve found this time is the son of your uncle; he studied law at University A, then interned at Attorney Li’s firm for a month."
"However, due to some mishap later, he’s currently unemployed at home. I’ve had someone redo his resume and work experience; there’s no way Meng Yi can find out."
"As for your uncle’s son, he’s desperate for money, he definitely won’t talk. Once the matter is settled, I’ll immediately send him back to his hometown, and nobody will know."
After listening, Nan Qingqing said earnestly, "Dad, I’ll also keep an eye on Meng Yi for a while to make sure she doesn’t get suspicious and start asking Nan Group whether such a lawyer exists, just to avoid being exposed."
Nan Luzhi stopped her with a serious tone, "No, this case is related to Nan Yu. You should avoid getting involved as much as possible. If the people from the main family notice Nan Yu, all our previous efforts would go to waste."
Nan Qingqing nodded, "But what about Meng Yi..."
Nan Luzhi put down his teacup, "I’ll arrange for someone else to watch over her. You just stay at home these days."
Nan Qingqing obediently agreed.
—
Ding.
The doorbell rang.
Nan Yu, who was tidying up her clothes, heard the sound and peered through the peephole.
Standing at the door was a man in a black suit with a strong build, rough features, and eyes that emitted a fierce light.
A vicious Flood Dragon tattoo stretched from his neck up his face to the top of his head, its forked tongue flickering as if it were alive.
He kept ringing the doorbell, clearly up to no good!
