Chapter 279: Chapter 278: No one is as important as Mrs. Gu

The interrogation room door was knocked.

The interrogator opened the door to see a man clad in an iron-grey suit and wearing gold-rimmed spectacles, holding a briefcase, standing at the threshold.

“I am Ming Yao’s appointed attorney, Yue Yanlin. I am here to post bail for her.”

The interrogator was somewhat astonished.

Yue Yanlin was a well-known golden attorney in the capital; he was born into a poor family, skipped grades to attend the capital’s most prestigious law school, and then went abroad for further studies.

Upon his return, he set up his own law firm and quickly rose to prominence within the industry.

Yue Yanlin was a man of distinct character; he did not bow to capital.

If he disagreed with someone, even a billion in attorney fees wouldn’t sway him to take on the case.

If he took a liking to someone, he’d represent them in court without charging a penny.

Recently, he had won a lawsuit for an ordinary father with no power or influence.

The father’s daughter had worked for a company owned by a rich second-generation scion. The scion took a liking to his daughter, and when she resisted his advances, he found ways to oppress her with overtime work and social engagements. Eventually, unable to withstand the pressure, she took sleeping pills and committed suicide.

The grieving father filed a lawsuit against the scion.

The arrogant rich second-generation openly declared that the father was like an egg striking a rock.

The scion hired another very famous lawyer from the capital—one of the few who could possibly match Yue Yanlin.

Thus, the father sought out Yue Yanlin with tears streaming down his face, swearing he would sell his house and land to afford the attorney fees.

At that moment, Yue Yanlin said, “Justice may arrive late, but it will not be absent. I will take your daughter’s case, and you need not sell your house or your land!”

Yue Yanlin pulled out a document and a USB drive from his briefcase.

“My client has only met Li Hao a few times and hasn’t even added him on the phone or WeChat,” Yue Yanlin said, his manner scholarly and refined, yet his words cutting, “The USB contains their activity trajectories in the production crew, which can fully prove that my client and Li Hao merely had a passing acquaintance, not even amounting to colleagues.”

“Are you reaching the conclusion that my client is related to Li Hao’s suicide on the basis of a single suicide note without collecting any evidence?”

Yue Yanlin laid out his arguments methodically, presenting evidence of Ming Yao’s lack of familiarity with Li Hao one by one, sparing the interrogators the need to investigate.

The interrogators were left speechless.

Indeed, the case was fraught with suspicious elements.

With his comprehensive legal knowledge, Yue Yanlin managed to get Ming Yao bailed out in just a few words.

After signing the necessary documents, he escorted Ming Yao out of the police station.

“Was it my husband who asked Lawyer Yue to come?”

Yue Yanlin adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose, his handsome face breaking into a scholarly smile, “I owe your husband a favor; he’s been squeezing me for it over the years.”

From his words, Ming Yao could surmise that Yue Yanlin had a good relationship with Gu Siting.

A smile curved the corners of her lips, “Thank you for the trouble.”

No sooner had Ming Yao spoken than Jing Hang arrived, accompanied by another lawyer.

The lawyer was considered one of the best in Li City. Jing Hang, hearing of Ming Yao’s predicament, had immediately pulled strings to contact the lawyer.

“Senior Sister, are you alright?”

Seeing Jing Hang’s concerned expression, Ming Yao shook her head, “I’m fine.”

The lawyer brought by Jing Hang admired Yue Yanlin, his eyes full of reverence, “Lawyer Yue, it’s an honor to meet you.”

After shaking hands with the other lawyer, Yue Yanlin said to Ming Yao, “I have other matters to attend to, I must leave now.”

Ming Yao nodded in acknowledgment.

Jing Hang escorted Ming Yao back to Imperial Garden.

“Your husband in name is quite decent, arriving just in time to hire a top-notch lawyer for you.”

Thinking of Gu Siting, a warm current flowed through Ming Yao’s heart, “He is indeed quite a good person.”

“Senior Sister, I checked the IP address you gave me, but found nothing; the place was empty. The other party is very cautious in their actions.”

Ming Yao’s delicate fingers propped up her chin, her red lips curved into a cool arc, “No matter how cautious they are, there will come a time when they slip up. Go and prepare a certain medicine for me.”

Ming Yao softly relayed the name of the medicine.

A sharp light flashed through Jing Hang’s peach blossom eyes, and he nodded immediately, “No problem.”

When Ming Yao returned to Imperial Garden, Gu Siting had also just arrived back from the airport.

He stepped out of the Bentley, dressed in a meticulously neat suit, with a cashmere overcoat draped over his shoulders and leather gloves on his hands, his features were cold and angular, conveying an aloofness that seemed unapproachable.

The moment he saw her, his cold angular features softened like melting ice and snow, and then it was like the return of spring.

Locking eyes with the man’s deep black pupils, Ming Yao’s heart, which had been quite strong, suddenly became overwhelmed by a sense of grievance and sorrow.

No matter how strong she appeared on the outside, she also had a vulnerable and soft side.

She needed a solid and tough shoulder to lean on.

Her eyes slightly moist, she dashed towards the man.

As she approached him, she leapt onto him.

The man stretched out his arms, steadying her pert buttocks, and wrapped his arms around her.

Ming Yao’s slender legs encircled the man’s lean waist and abdomen.

“Weren’t you supposed to come back tomorrow?”

The man, while holding the woman and walking into the villa, spoke softly, “Even the most important things are not as important as Mrs. Gu.”

Ming Yao wrapped her arms around the man’s neck, lowered her head, and planted a firm kiss on the man’s handsome face.

Jing Hang stood not far away, watching this scene with mixed feelings.

In his mind, Senior Sister and Senior Brother were the perfect match.

But now, seeing Senior Sister and Gu Siting together, he suddenly felt that they were the ones truly meant for each other.

Seeing their affectionate display, he actually started to feel like falling in love—what’s going on?

However, remembering Senior Sister’s instructions, he quickly went about his business!

Gu Siting, holding Ming Yao, headed upstairs, “Take a bath, get some sleep, don’t think about anything. Your husband will take care of everything for you.”

Ming Yao’s delicate and fair fingertips touched the man’s thin lips, her voice soft, “I must deal with my own affairs; have you forgotten what I said last time?”

Gu Siting’s eyebrows furrowed, “Mrs. Gu doesn’t need to be too strong. You need to learn to rely on me.”

Rely on him?

She had never relied on anyone before, had she?

She was used to being independent and strong, and she didn’t want to place all her energy and emotions in someone else, even less so to lose herself.

Her thoughts were the same now; it was precisely because of her self-reliance and strength that he was attracted to her, wasn’t it?

If she were to cling to him for everything, like a parasitic vine, one day he would grow tired of it.

“Husband, someone wants to use this incident to destroy me, but how could they get away with it so easily?” Ming Yao’s beautiful eyes revealed a trace of icy cold determination.

Gu Siting looked at the woman—wise and intelligent, yet calm and sharp—and narrowed his eyes slightly, “Do you know who it is?”

“I don’t know who it is yet, but soon, they will expose themselves.” Ming Yao whispered into the man’s ear, “Husband, all you need to do is help me win over the director of the City Hospital, I’m going to draw the snake out of the hole!”
