After the leader hurried out, someone was quickly brought in. He was in a suit and leather shoes, tall and straight, with a refined yet slightly thin face wearing rimless glasses. The eyes behind those lenses casually narrowed but emitted a piercing sharpness as if they could see right through people’s hearts.
"Lawyer Nan, is that you?!" The several police officers present obviously recognized him. However, they had only heard of Nan Zhan’s name and had never seen him in person. A lawyer of his caliber only took on one or two major cases a year and spent most of his time traveling, rarely appearing in the public eye.
Unexpectedly, this elusive figure would appear in a small police station, and it seemed he was here for this female university student without any background.
Nan Zhan looked toward Gu Qili, who was already somewhat incoherent, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Her condition didn’t look good. She was pale, sweat dampening the few strands of hair on her forehead. She might collapse within a minute, but even so, he noticed her tightly clenched fists with dried blood on her palm—was she using pain to forcibly maintain her sanity?
"I’ve completed the bail procedures, Chief Li, can we release her now?" Although it was phrased as a question, there was no room for negotiation—it was clearly a direct pick-up.
In the presence of a grand lawyer, everything proceeded according to the law. All necessary procedures and steps had already been perfectly handled. Naturally, Chief Li had no choice but to release her and moreover, after such astute reasoning by him, it must be a significant figure who could engage Nan Zhan. This seemingly fragile girl must have an unimaginable powerful backing behind her.
Considering this, Chief Li promptly and willingly released her, and those police officers also knew enough to step aside, watching the noble and haughty man before them with admiration.
It wasn’t just his status as a famous lawyer that mattered; more importantly, he was Nan Zhan, the eldest son of the Nan Family, one of the six major families in Aus City, with enough political and legal influence to shake the whole city.
Gu Qili, somewhat muddle-headed, raised her head and met those sharp eyes behind the glasses. Her mind instantly became clearer, and she rubbed her eyes, continuing to gaze at him in a daze.
Nan Zhan stepped forward, rested his hands on the table, bent down, and closely examined her face. After a while, he mysteriously smiled: "So that’s how it is."
Gu Qili didn’t understand the meaning of his words. All she knew was that she was willing to follow him out of the police station. Original content can be found at novel~fire~net
A hint of light emerged in the eastern sky, the quiet morning light was gentle and serene, without any noisy ambiance, bringing a sense of peace and bliss.
Gu Qili took a deep breath of the long-missed air of freedom, feeling revived.
Having recovered a bit of strength, she took the opportunity to thank this man who seemed to descend from the heavens. In fact, as soon as her mind cleared, she remembered him. However, it had been five or six years since she last saw him, and she was still just a minor back then.
It couldn’t be wrong—his style, his aura, and those piercing eyes, he was definitely Aus City’s top lawyer, Nan Zhan.
Nan Zhan smiled without speaking, and suddenly his tall frame leaned down again, his eyes sparkling as he intensely gazed at her disordered beautiful eyes, his magnetic and pleasant voice only ringing out slowly after a while: "Er Mu told me to come and get you."
