Wu Huai looked outside the door and led Wu Ze into his office.

“The prodigy of the legal industry, attorney Wu. I’m sorry for calling you over when you have hundreds of important matters to attend to!”

It was a rare occasion for such an uptight man like Wu Huai to make fun of his little brother. He even had a meaningful smile on his face.

“Brother, if you want to discourage me, you can tell me straight to the point!” Wu Ze knew that Wu Huai had always looked down on those in the legal industry who liked to play with words. He was a man who will not give in to oppression and will revolt against injustice!

“I’ll stop beating around the bush. You should know about the poisoning case. The detective today, Su Qingcheng went to the hospital for an investigation. Some family members of the victims heard that the adopted daughter of the Yuan Family, Zhao Ruoxin was conspiring against something with her mother!”

Wu Huai briefly told Wu Ze about the whole story and a hint of reluctance appeared in his eyes at the end, “You should figure out that Shu Qingcheng is definitely not the one who found out about this information. It most likely has something to do with your bosom friend, Third Missus Yuan!”

As Wu Huai spoke, he paused and enjoyed watching his cousin brother getting embarrassed. ( Boxno vel. co m )

Wu Ze remained an elegant posture and there was a hint of a smile at the corners of his lips. Then, he said very frankly, “It’s very interesting how you defined Mu Chenyan’s status!”

“Isn’t it true?” Wu Huai said in an unusual tone with a sly and casual smile, “All these years, I’ve never seen you pay so much attention to any woman. Now, you’re using grandpa to pressure me again and again for Mu Chenyan. You even went to the city to settle a dispute and brought the news office here. You have gone through so much trouble for her! Don’t tell me that you did all these just to fulfill your responsibility to take care of your friend’s wife!!”

Wu Ze smiled lightly after hearing what he said. This handsome man was born with an elegant temperament and he had a natural charming halo around him. No one could tell that he had the slightest uneasiness.

Wu Ze’s slender long pale fingers had a very defined bone structure. He swept his fingers across the top of the table, picked up a cup of tea and started drinking. After a moment, he said, “Brother has a quick mind and a pair of good eyes. Even if I’m interested in this woman, I will not do anything out of the line. It seems like there’s nothing brother should worry about.”

Wu Huai grunted and said in a low voice without raising his gaze, “This case has involved the Yuan Family once again and your bosom friend knows about some insider’s information. Who else can I talk to other than you?”

“You called me over to prepare beforehand so that I can help you in case Yuan Xuan try to obstruct the investigation?”

“You’re still fairly smart!” Wu Huai said in a low and deep voice. As though the head of a bandit gang, he threw Mu Chenyan’s cases on the table.

“This girl’s old case from three years ago is not settled yet and she went to the prison for two years despite being innocent. The actual culprit that killed the Yuan Family’s adopted daughter, Shu Qinger has not been caught yet. Now, we’re planning to interrogate the Yuan Family’s adopted daughter. Moreover, that woman’s mother is also one of the victims. Do you think Yuan Xuan would just let it be?”

Even though Wu Huai was a crude person, as the captain of the major crimes department, he was definitely not all muscles and no brains.

He was in charge of so many cases and he understood how big of an influence the aristocratic families have on Luo Hai. Since he was not close to Yuan Xuan, having Wu Ze by his side would make the investigation a little smoother.

“You’ve sent someone to the Yuan Family already?” Wu Ze thought about the woman who looked exactly the same as Shu Qinger and he was a little uncomfortable.

At that time, Qinger’s death was extremely brutal. Her baby was being taken out of her body and her body was being heavily damaged. Besides that, her internal organs were also being damaged. Even Wu Ze who had worked as a lawyer for so long was boiling with anger after knowing how brutal and inhuman it was.

“Not yet. I’m letting you know the situation here and I’ll pass the matter with the Third Young Master Yuan to you!” Wu Huai answered.

“In fact, you’ve made an unnecessary move. Yuan Xuan is not an unreasonable person who would abuse his power. If that adopted daughter is really suspicious, he will most probably not cover up for her. All you’re doing is asking her over for interrogation. It’s not like you’re convicting her, so why are you so worried?”

As Wu Ze spoke, he had a hint of cold smile on his face, “Could it be that even brother is afraid of him? Yuan Xuan shouldn’t have frightened you to this extent!”

Wu Huai frowned and his face was getting a little red. He then said in an unhappy tone, “I’m afraid of him? Hmm, I just don’t want to deal with businessmen. They are very clever. Their lawyer’s letter will arrive right after they’re brought to trial. You might be sitting here talking to me now, but you might be Yuan Xuan’s defendant tomorrow and say things like she has the rights to remain silent!”

As Wu Huai spoke, he looked at his cousin as though he was looking at a henchman...

Wu Ze was left speechless, “...”

...

On the next day, Zhao Ruoxin went to the hospital at three in the afternoon to visit Zhao Yanni. She was being stopped by the police officers that Su Qingcheng brought along at the entrance of the intensive care unit.

Zhao Ruoxin still had a calm and composed look on her face when she was in the interrogation room. Huai came to supervise the interrogation personally.

Based on a one-sided observation, Wu Huai was indeed shocked when he saw Zhao Ruoxin.

He had read through the case in the past for more than ten times. Therefore, he saw Shu Qinger’s picture when she was alive and after she was found dead. When Wu Huai saw her twin sister who looked so similar to her sitting in front of him, he felt extremely emotional.

Zhao Ruoxin knocked her fingers on the table and answered the police officer who was interrogating her fluently with a smile on her face.

“This woman came prepared!” Wu Huai looked at the live surveillance camera in the interrogation room and Zhao Ruoxin’s answers to almost all of the police officer’s questions were perfect.

It was supposed to be a sudden strike so that they could find some clues from the interrogation.

“What I mean by after it’s done refers to after her condition has stabilized, I’ll get her out of the hospital. What’s wrong with that?”

Zhao Ruoxin smiled deeply, “I think you should look for a hacker to check why the surveillance camera is being hacked, instead of finding me! Besides, if you want to investigate me, you should consider my motive!”

“Also, my mother is a victim in this case. As her family member, I would like to urge those in the police station to put in more energy in solving the case. Stop chasing after the wind and wasting time interrogating a victim!”

Zhao Ruoxin was very reasonable and Wu Huai’s head was hurting badly.

He thought that a mere woman would let the cat out of the bag under such circumstances, but he did not expect her to answer so fluently. Even the police officer was dumbfounded.

“We’re just testing her today!” Wu Huai shook his head and said, “This woman is indeed very suspicious. She’s not just an ordinary woman, but we can’t solve a case based on our intuition. We need evidence!”

Mu Chenyan knew from the instance that Zhao Ruoxin arrived. Su Qingcheng looked at Mu Chenyan and saw that she had cold look on her face as she remained silent.

A moment later.

“Captain, can the police check a person’s phone call record?” Mu Chenyan said suddenly.

“During Chinese New Year’s Eve, she had a phone call with a mysterious person. The other party seemed to have requested her to do something.”

Wu Huai looked at Mu Chenyan getting lost in her thoughts and he started walking around. After a short while, police officer Little Dong reported back, “Miss Zhao requested to meet a lawyer!”

Wu Huai waved his hand, “Tell her that she can find a lawyer but we have the rights to keep her in custody for 48hours!”

“Jiang Bian, bring someone to the telecommunication company and check this woman’s phone call record in the past two months!”

Wu Huai did not know why did he follow Mu Chenyan’s instruction.

However, since they had zero clues about this case, the hacker who hacked the internet became the key person in this case. Nonetheless, it was very difficult to find that person. Now that Zhao Ruoxin had some suspicion, they had no choice but to follow her lead.
