Who Made Him a Lawyer?

Chapter 529: Chapter 374: Xu Liang’s ’Brainwashing’ [Double Chapter for Monthly Votes!]

Just as Xu Liang was about to say something further.

A voice suddenly rang out.

"Lawyer Xu, someone here wants to see Dong Feiyu. How much longer will you be?"

A policeman in a blue uniform walked up beside him.

The person was the on-duty officer of the detention room.

Xu Liang turned sideways and looked at the duty post, where a few men in expensive suits were looking at him, their gazes suddenly intersecting.

Xu Liang focused his gaze on the leader among them.

It was an old man, with grey hair and a wrinkled face.

The Family Head of the Dong Clan, Dong Tianbao?

Xu Liang’s heart stirred, but he quickly masked his feelings and nodded to the officer.

"I’m done here."

He said truthfully, then immediately headed out.

In fact, he had no particular business with Dong Feiyu.

Interrogation? No interrogation.

Dong Tianbao wouldn’t, and couldn’t, say anything!

Furthermore... the information from Lin Fuqiang, combined with the clues he already had, was enough to defend the accused, Lv Xiong!

In other words, all he needed to do was wait for the hearing on October 1st. Until then, he had no clear objective.

The reason he came to see Dong Feiyu... was simply to observe his condition and to mock him a little.

Putting his thoughts away.

Xu Liang slowly walked out of the detention room and then sat on a nearby public bench.

Those at the duty post were indeed from the Dong Clan, and a few of them were sizing him up. Xu Liang didn’t pay them much mind.

Dong Tianbao completed the formalities and glanced at Xu Liang before suppressing his emotions and heading into the detention room.

"Tap, tap, tap...."

A series of dense and hurried footsteps sounded.

Inside the detention room.

Dong Feiyu’s face showed impatience, clearly annoyed. Hearing the footsteps, he thought it was Xu Liang again.

But, when he turned his head, ready to hurl some curses....

He saw a familiar figure appear before him.

This is....

Dong Tianbao!

Dong Feiyu paused, his heart leaping, and immediately stepped forward with delight:

"Dad, am I getting out!?"

Seeing him here usually meant he could leave the police station immediately!

He was long fed up with staying in the detention room.

The food there isn’t even good enough for his dogs at home, let alone the loss of personal freedom, akin to being confined in a dark room, it was mentally exhausting.

Especially since he had a bet with Xu Liang.

Betting on whether he could change the outcome Xu Liang had set for him before October 1st!

Now that Dong Tianbao had arrived, did it mean....

"You..."

Hearing his inquiry, Dong Tianbao suddenly fell silent. After a moment’s hesitation, he couldn’t utter a word and eventually stayed silent.

Seeing this.

Dong Feiyu was slightly taken aback, then felt a sudden panic and urgently said:

"Dad, can I not get out!? I’ve already been here for four days!"

"The temporary detention limit is only twenty-four hours, yet I’ve been here for a full four days!"

Temporary detention is indeed only for twenty-four hours.

But then again.

"The police have over-detained you. If the prosecutor’s office is willing, Feiyu, you could be held for up to a month."

Beside Dong Tianbao, that is, Dong Feiyu’s lawyer, spoke up.

Upon hearing this.

Dong Feiyu was instantly agitated, his face turning exceptionally ugly, as if his skin would fall to the ground, and angrily shouted:

"A month!?"

"I have to stay in this hellhole for another month!?"

Not to mention the mental strain, even just physically... eating porridge for a month, Dong Feiyu felt he might just starve to death!

As for eating the meals provided by the police... Dong Feiyu would rather die than eat slop!

But Xu Liang is kind-hearted and won’t let him eat for a whole month.

"Feiyu, be honest with your father about what happened in Sanma Village... what exactly is going on!?"

Dong Tianbao took a deep breath, his eyes narrowing, his aged face now exceedingly stern, and he asked in a low voice.

Lin Fuqiang’s words were still swirling in his mind.

These past two days, he had been eating even less than Dong Feiyu!

There was no way around it.

He had thought of every possible strategy, reaching out to everyone he could in the city and province, but there were only two outcomes.

One, those unaware of the situation couldn’t help.

Two, those aware of the situation... turned their backs and didn’t acknowledge him!

After a rough survey, he surprisingly found that Lin Fuqiang’s attitude was the best, but it was also Lin who personally issued the order for the arrest....

Now, as powerful as the Dong Clan was, there was nothing left but to ask Dong Feiyu to fully explain the situation to determine if he could be rescued.

But the problem was also clear.

"Sanma Village..."

Dong Feiyu suddenly paused, a trace of unnaturalness flashing in his eyes, yet he still spoke:

"Sanma Village is just like that."

This was the police station, and he wouldn’t blurt out nonsense like admitting to murder, but clearly, Dong Tianbao could understand him.

Just like that? Like what?

The implication was, of course, what Dong Feiyu had told Dong Tianbao back at Dong Manor!

Dong Tianbao just felt a bit of heartache.

Yet he still said in a deep voice, "Feiyu, this case... might blow up."

"The case was ordered by Lin Fuqiang to be dealt with seriously. If you’re still evasive at this point... even your father can’t save you!"

There was a hint of anxiety in his tone.

Lin Fuqiang?

Dong Feiyu paused, thinking for a long time before realizing that Lin Fuqiang seemed to be with the police.

"Dad, Lin Fuqiang is just a policeman, earning a fixed salary, while our Dong Clan’s assets are worth billions!"

Dong Feiyu spoke quietly, his voice filled with intense anger.

In his view.

Lin Fuqiang was just like Xu Liang, merely a backwater lackey, the only difference being that Xu Liang was a lawyer while the other was just a policeman.
