Gu Changle was restless all day because of Shao Tianze.

As long as she was free, she would call Meng Youran immediately.

It even made Meng Youran’s ears hurt as he was constantly bombarded by Gu Changle’s frequent phone calls.

Finally, he replied helplessly, “Miss Gu, since I’m Mr. Shao’s lawyer, I’ll do everything I can to protect him.”

“Having said that, Tianze has still not been released so far.”

“Please calm down, Miss Gu.”

Meng Youran advised her.

Gu Changle gritted her teeth, replying, “You gotta be faster. Who knows how many people in Harbor City want Tianze’s life? If you don’t hurry, he may die at any time.”

“That’s not gonna happen, Miss Gu.”

Hearing that, Gu Changle calmed down a bit.

“Then bail Tianze out now.”

Meng Youran felt that he could not continue talking to this woman. He used an old-school way, holding the mobile phone far away from his ears. Then he said, “Miss Gu, what did you say? The signal is not very good. I can’t hear you clearly.”

Then he held the phone farther and farther away from his ears.

Gu Changle didn’t know that Meng Youran did it on purpose. Hearing Meng Youran’s voice getting weaker and weaker, she couldn’t help but say, “Lawyer Meng? Lawyer Meng!”

Meng Youran didn’t care about what she was shouting at all. After a while, he hung up the phone impatiently.

Seeing that, the assistant in the law firm couldn’t help asking, “Did Miss Gu trouble you again?”

“More than that. She was being unreasonable.”

Meng Youran threw his mobile phone on the desk, pondered for a while, and then said, “Fan, call Gu Changle later and tell her that I attach great importance to this case and have gone to the police station to ask to see Mr. Shao.”

“Are you really going to the police station?” Fan asked in bewilderment.

Meng Youran smiled, looked at the junior who had just finished law school, and said, “Of course. Otherwise, I’ll let the Gu Family down, right?”

Fan pursed his lips, saying, “If the Shao Family weren’t rich, I wouldn’t have let you take over Gu Changle’s case because she’s so difficult.”

Meng Youran smiled, “But it’s a big contract.”

“Fine. As long as you like it.”

Seeing that Meng Youran was very interested in this case, Fan decided not to say anything else. After Meng Youran went out, he followed his order, calling Gu Changle.

Seeing that the call was from Fan, Gu Changle snapped, “Where’s Meng Youran?”

Fortunately, Meng Youran had already told Fan how to deal with Gu Changle before he went out. Though Gu Changle asked about Meng Youran, he wasn’t flustered. He directly answered, “Lawyer Meng has already gone to the police station to see Mr. Shao. He may come back late in the evening. Miss Gu, what can I do for you?”

“Is that all he can do? When on earth can he bail Tianze out?”

Fan was stumped by this question.

Lawyer Meng didn’t tell him how to answer it when he left.

Fan pondered for a moment and replied, “Miss Gu, please don’t worry. Lawyer Meng is very professional, so he will bail Mr. Shao out sooner or later. You don’t have to constantly call us.”

“If I don’t urge you, I’m afraid you’ll all forget about it. All you know is how to get money, but you don’t know how to settle things. Is that what all the lawyers in Harbor City are like?”

Gu Changle scolded Fan.

Fan had just graduated from law school, and he hadn’t had much contact with the difficult family members of the parties. Thus he didn’t know what to say when being scolded by Gu Changle.

He could only think of the way Meng Youran used. Then he held his cell phone farther away from his ears, saying, “Miss Gu, the signal here is bad. I can’t hear what you’re saying clearly…”

“Are all the mobile phones in your law firm broken? Why is the signal always bad? In this case, you’d better quit the job and go home!”

Gu Changle was furious. Fan didn’t want to be scolded by Gu Changle anymore. He looked a little unhappy and pursed his lips. Then he hung up the phone.

After that, he felt that he should tell Meng Youran about it. Thus he called him right away.

Fan told Meng Youran that Gu Changle was being difficult and scolded him. Meng Youran sighed, replying, “She was no match for Gu Changge, no matter in what aspect.”

Fan was curious, asking, “Who is Gu Changge?”

“Gu Changle’s elder sister and Shao Tianze’s wife.”

“Why have I never heard of it? Besides, it’s such a big thing. Why hasn’t his wife come over?”

“Gu Changge has died.”

Meng Youran also thought it was a pity that Gu Changge died too early.

Fan frowned on the other end of the line, asking, “Died? How?”

Fan asked too many questions, and Meng Youran didn’t want to answer them all. Thus he said, “You’ve got lots of questions.”

Fan stroked his nose, replying, “Because I’m curious about it.”

“There are a lot of strange things in the world, but you don’t need to get all the answers to them. Haven’t you heard of the saying curiosity kills the cat?”

Hearing Meng Youran’s words, Fan knew that Meng Youran didn’t want to tell her more about Gu Changge. He said in a low voice, “Since you don’t want to tell me, I won’t ask about it. Is there anything else you want to tell me?”

“No, nothing else. Since you can’t deal with Gu Changle, don’t pick up any of her phone calls. Got it?”

“Yes, I see.”

“Good. I’ve got something else to attend to. I’ll hang up for now.”

“OK.”

Meng Youran hung up. Then he got off the car and entered the police station.

Song Yunxuan’s car was also parked at the gate of the police station. Her car windows were closed, so no one could see who was inside.

Mei Qi was in the driving seat. He pointed to Meng Youran, saying, “That is Lawyer Meng.”

“He is really a fine-looking gentleman.” Song Yunxuan commented on him.

Mei Qi smiled, saying, “More than that, he’s also very competent.”

“So what do you think Lawyer Meng will do to bail Shao Tianze out?” Song Yunxuan asked.

“Hard to say.” Mei Qi answered.

Song Yunxuan lowered her eyes, sneering, “So what do you think I can do to stop him from bailing Shao Tianze out?”

“It depends on what kind of person he is.”

“How much do you think he will charge?”

“I don’t think you can buy him over.” Mei Qi said frankly.

Song Yunxuan was shocked, asking, “Is there anyone Shao Tianze knows that we can’t buy over?”

Song Yunxuan found that she had said something wrong right after the words came out of her mouth.

Because Song Yunjia was an example.

Song Yunjia loved Shao Tianze deeply for so many years as if she had been bewitched, and she died from this in the end.

Song Yunjia couldn’t be bought over by money because it seemed that Shao Tianze was her life goal.

Thinking of Song Yunjia, Song Yunxuan lowered her eyes.

Seeing that Song Yunxuan became silent, Mei Qi asked with concern, “Manager Song, what’s wrong with you?”

“A person crossed my mind.”

“Who?” Mei Qi asked her.

Song Yunxuan looked up, answering, “Song Yunjia.”

Mei Qi replied, “Song Yunjia has been gone for so long. Why did you still think of her?”

“Maybe it’s because I think she had something in common with Meng Youran.”

“So do we need to sound Meng Youran out?”

“That won’t be necessary. Let him give Shao Tianze advice.”

Hearing that, Mei Qi nodded.

…

Meanwhile, when Meng Youran met Shao Tianze in the police station, he wondered how he could be so quiet and act as nothing had happened.

Seeing him, Shao Tianze rubbed his brows. It seemed that he had a rough night. He said, “It appears that I have to stay here for some more time.”

Shao Tianze’s words showed that he doubted Meng Youran’s ability.

Meng Youran smiled, replying, “Mr. Shao, please don’t worry too much. Actually, whether you can leave depends on yourself.”

Shao Tianze looked up at Meng Youran.

Meng Youran gave a brief smile and was seated. Then he put his palms together, asking, “Were you arraigned again?”

“Of course. These people kept asking me what I wanted to do to the elder of the Luo Family.”

“So what did you say?”

Meng Youran asked him.

Shao Tianze breathed out, replying, “What could I say? I didn’t want to do anything to him, and I can’t remember what I did at that time. Why did I become the target of the whole city and a prisoner after waking up?”

Shao Tianze spread his hands, showing that he was very puzzled about what he had just been through.

Seeing that, Meng Youran laughed and said, “You are right. You might not be clear-headed when you did these things.”

Shao Tianze sneered.

Meng Youran thought that this matter had been settled and had made himself clear.

“Miss Gu is very worried about you. Every time she’s free, she will call me and urge me to bail you out.”

Shao Tianze understood Meng Youran’s meaning and asked him, “You mean she’s too annoying?”

Meng Youran did think so, but he couldn’t point it out. He could only explain with a smile, “Miss Gu is just worrying about your safety.”

“I’ll let her get off your back. Just ignore her.”

Hearing that, Meng Youran knew that he could just ignore Gu Changle’s phone calls.

Otherwise, without Shao Tianze’s consent, he could not refuse Gu Changle’s phone calls every time because he might be in danger if Gu Changle gave some pillow talk to Shao Tianze.

After that, Shao Tianze said, “I’m very worried about old Mr. Luo. If there’s any news about him, please let me know. After all, we are now relatives.”

Meng Youran nodded, replying, “Don’t worry, Mr. Shao. I’ll keep you updated.”

Shao Tianze felt that it would be hard for him to be exonerated if Luo Jiachi recovered and could speak.

He thought he should keep an eye on him.
