CHAPTER 582: CHAPTER 564: FAMILY AND FRIENDS

"It’s the Lawyer Xu from our city."

Lawyer Xu is the most famous in their city. Usually, it’s hard to get him, but somehow someone managed to invite him here.

This matter is difficult to handle; if Lawyer Xu sees Lin Yinghui in this state, he will definitely file a lawsuit.

"Doctor, how is he?" The captain asked while urging.

"The fever is severe; if he’d arrived a bit later, he might have turned into a fool. He probably needs to be on an IV for four or five days."

After hearing this, the captain told his colleague, "Hold on for me," and then turned to the leader’s office.

"Leader, what should we do? Even a lawyer has come."

Wu Ming lit a cigarette and exhaled a circle after a while, enveloping himself in smoke, making his expression unreadable. "What can we do? Just try to delay."

"How do we delay? We have no reason to keep delaying."

Wu Ming glanced at him and frowned, "You’ve been a captain for quite a while now, can’t even handle such a matter, what’s the point of having you?"

The captain felt somewhat aggrieved; this wasn’t his responsibility; if it weren’t for supporting his leader, he wouldn’t be doing this kind of offending task.

Seeing he truly had no solution, Wu Ming slowly said, "Recently the investigations are intense, and his case is considered a model. Just say he was taken away for solitary confinement."

"But even if it’s a model case, he can hire a lawyer, can’t he? Can we manage by saying this?" The captain still had some concerns.

"Just say it. Tell them he was taken away in a military vehicle and we are not allowed to interfere. They can hire a lawyer, the key is to find the person first."

As a division leader, he naturally knew more than others; such matters are done in secrecy. In such active situations, secrecy is of utmost importance, with every region responding actively. Among many ordinary people, few are executed openly; most are dealt with secretly after all, with so many people. The most secret places are but those few locations.

Very few people know about this.

"Alright, I’ll go inform them... Leader... What about Lin Yinghui?"

"Treat him quickly these days, strive for the day of public shaming so that no one can tell he’s been injured." Wu Ming was deeply calculating, doing this out of dual considerations.

When Mei Langchi called him, he hinted at something, which he understood.

In the world, if not for oneself, who will survive? In the end, it’s all about making one’s life better and standing higher.

Mei Langchi can assist him, and he naturally is willing to do things for him. However, he doesn’t want to implicate himself.

As the captain was about to leave, the phone in the leader’s office rang.

"Hello, is this Director Wu? I’m from the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Supreme Prosecution; someone reported corruption against the audit department’s Lin Yinghui that you detained yesterday. We request to transfer the prisoner over here. Please arrange it."

Director Wu was inexplicably pleased upon hearing this, secretly thinking the timing was perfect. Do not blame him for being ruthless; blame only Lin Yinghui’s bad luck.

"Inform them Lin Yinghui is now reported as a rogue criminal, already submitted and classified as a model. We..."

"Don’t worry, Director Wu, we conduct strictly confidential interrogations here, and before the investigation is clear, no one will be allowed to see him."

"Oh dear, this person has quite a temper; he got into a fight with some of our colleagues just upon arrival. We are treating him now."

"That’s no problem; it can completely be transferred here for treatment. Once the review is complete, we will quickly return him to you."

"Alright, I’ll arrange it right away."

Director Wu hung up the phone, went out, and called someone inside... Outside, Liang Hongmei was anxiously waiting for the police station’s reply.

Finally, the captain came over, but his words made Liang Hongmei feel a chill in her heart.

"Comrade, did you make a mistake? How could matters more severe than my son Ah Hui’s not be reported as models, yet our child is the one who’s been involved?"

"The review is decided from above; we have no right to ask questions."

"Comrade, my client was taken away from your police station; you should know where he’s being held now. I demand you provide the address." Lawyer Xu had been waiting outside their home early in the morning.

Lawyer Xu was originally Zhang Hanfu’s professor during university; their teacher-student relationship is quite decent. That’s why he helped out.

Originally, it was supposed to be a simple case, but now it became so complex.

"Is your leader here? I need to meet him."

"The leader has a meeting in Lins City; he left early this morning. He won’t return until three days later."

As the captain finished speaking, a police officer came out and reminded, "Captain, you forgot; before leaving today, the leader said that Lin Yinghui was also involved in a bribery case and should be taken away by the Anti-Corruption Bureau." Then he advised Lawyer Xu, "I suggest you head over to the Anti-Corruption Bureau to try your luck. But from what I estimate, they won’t let you see him even if you get there."

"How is bribery involved now?" Liang Hongmei stepped forward and asked.

"You ask us how we know? Your son would know best." The captain’s attitude was bad.

"Comrade, how much are we talking about? We need to have a clue." Liang Hongmei was concerned about her child and didn’t argue here. "You must ask the Anti-Corruption Bureau about this."

"Comrade, we have to go to the Chief Prosecutor’s place; I will accompany you." Lawyer Xu suggested to Liang Hongmei.

Accompanying Liang Hongmei this time was Li Congnan and Zhang Hanfu. Han Yi’s uncle Shen Xinghe had come early and went to the provincial bureau to use some connections because the person he knew wasn’t in this district.

The few had no choice but to let Lawyer Xu lead them to the Anti-Corruption Bureau. Speaking of which, the Anti-Corruption Bureau is also another department under the Prosecution Office.

For Zhang Hanfu, getting information wasn’t too difficult.

On the other hand, as soon as they left, Director Wu quickly dispatched a car to speed Lin Yinghui to the Anti-Corruption Bureau, not even caring about the IV.

It was already past three in the afternoon when Zhang Hanfu learned about the situation.

The person was indeed there, but at this time, no visits were allowed.

"Aunt Liang, my friend said that when he was sent over, he was still on an IV, and..."

"And what?" Unable to see her son, Liang Hongmei was now extremely anxious.

Zhang Hanfu sighed and said, "And it was clear he was beaten by the police, with bruises all over. My friend said he’s still unconscious."

Upon hearing this, Liang Hongmei could no longer control herself, pulling Zhang Hanfu, clamoring to see her son.

"Han Fu, can’t you tell your friend to let me see the child? Just one glance, one glance, is it possible?"

"Aunt Liang, don’t get worked up; let’s talk about this when we get back." Li Congnan hurriedly held Liang Hongmei’s shoulder, trying to calm her down.

"Yes, Aunt Liang, let’s discuss when we get back."

"Mr. Liang, Xiao Zhang, since this matter involves your Prosecution Office, they don’t allow lawyers to intervene. If what your friend said is true, you can gather evidence appropriately, and you can definitely sue the police for abuse of power. I’ll handle the lawsuit for you."

"Thank you, Lawyer Xu. We’ll try our best to gather the evidence."

"Alright."

After exiting the Anti-Corruption Bureau, Lawyer Xu shared several points about critical evidence with them before leaving.

Zhang Hanfu asked Li Congnan to send Liang Hongmei back while he stayed behind, hoping to find a way to meet Lin Yinghui. Over there, after Shen Xinghe asked around, he learned that the person had already been transferred to the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

Regarding the bribery matter, Shen Xinghe didn’t quite believe it, knowing that Xiao Wan’s family shouldn’t lack money.

Without even seeing Liang Hongmei, he just drove straight to Lin Yinghui’s unit.
