As Wei Ming analyzed the development of the situation, Hui Meiqing's irritable emotions gradually calmed down. She suppressed her resentment and tried her best to think about the development of the situation from beginning to end from an objective perspective.
After calming down, she had to admit that there was no way out for Xiaoru's situation if she didn't ask the old man to intervene.
Judging from Qin Suisui's attitude just now, even if the old man intervenes, he won't give up easily unless he offers something that satisfies the other party.
"Wei Lu, let me think about this carefully!"
Hearing that Director Hui had relented, Wei Ming breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Director Hui might get emotional and fight back.
In today's situation, from any perspective, they have no chance of winning. If the situation gets out of control, Old Master An may blame him for not stopping it beforehand.
Therefore, at this point, he could only try his best to persuade them.
"Director Hui, please stay here and consider this. I'll go in and have a word with Attorney Qin first."
"Go ahead!"
Hui Mei faced the roadside with a cold expression, her tone stiff.
Wei Ming smiled somewhat helplessly, turned around and walked into the police station.
Qin Suisui had only been in Huating for a few months, and he didn't know the other party very well yet. He hoped to get to know Qin Suisui better through the opportunity to discuss the case, since lawyers in Huating would eventually end up in court together.
Standing outside the police station, Hui Meiqing felt weak all over and her heart was racing for the first time.
This time is different from the last time. Last time, Xiaoru was only possibly involved in the case, which could be explained by the fact that Xiaoru was just dragged down by her friends.
Even so, the old man had to swallow his pride to calm things down.
This time, the suspect's confession is irrefutable, and Xiaoru will definitely not escape involvement.
What an incredibly stupid tactic! Hui Meiqing grew angrier the more she thought about it. Although she hated Qin Suisui to the core, the other party was right. Xiao Ru's audacity was definitely related to her indulgence.
It was her repeated indulgence of Xiaoru that allowed her youngest daughter to act recklessly, leading to this predicament where she has run into a brick wall.
She secretly vowed that after this incident, she would strictly control Xiaoru's words and actions, otherwise she would be driven to death by her youngest daughter one day.
She mentally prepared herself countless times before finally dialing the old man's number.
Qin Suisui sat in the conference room listening to the opposing lawyer speak eloquently, her expression calm and her demeanor always aloof.
“Attorney Qin, our law firm also handled the Huating Power case before, and we have some understanding of the situation in Malaysia. If there is an opportunity, I can ask our director to send you the background investigation materials we conducted in Malaysia at that time.”
"If this opportunity arises, then I must thank Lawyer Wei."
Qin Suisui didn't take Wei Ming's words seriously. A lawyer's words are like a man's mouth; you can't believe them, or you'll be screwed over.
Seeing that Qin Lu remained unmoved and spoke politely but distantly, Wei Ming felt somewhat embarrassed. The other party was not only unyielding but also very tight-lipped.
That makes sense. The evaluation process at Lawrence Law Firm is notoriously rigorous in the legal profession. To be promoted beyond one level in just two years, Sheffield is certainly no ordinary person.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward, and Wei Ming felt embarrassed for himself. Just as he was racking his brains, Hui Meiqing walked in.
"Director Hui!"
"Um!"
Hui Meiqing glanced at Wei Ming with a livid face, then turned to Qin Suisui, forcing a smile that seemed too strained.
"Attorney Qin, my father's legal advisor will be here shortly. I hope you can wait for him for half an hour."
The five minutes she spent on the phone with the old man were the most unbearable and shameful five minutes of her life. His simple words made her lose face and feel extremely ashamed.
Unlike last time, when his emotions were somewhat volatile, this time the old man was very indifferent. He only asked her to pass on a message to Qin Suisui, without saying another word.
But she knew that the calmer she was, the more it represented the old man's anger, and it also meant that Xiaoru would have no face left in front of the old man in the future. Among the grandchildren, Xiaoru was the first to be abandoned.
Seeing that Qin Suisui remained silent, Hui Meiqing raised her eyebrows, preparing to ask again.
Qin Suisui nodded: "Mm!"
How could she not sense Hui Meiqing's anger and frustration? But this was exactly the result she had planned for a long time.
She knew that even if Anru was convicted, what could she do? With the An family's influence, a reduced sentence was inevitable; at most, Anru would spend a year or two in prison.
She doesn't yet have the ability to confront the entire An family, so it's better to avoid direct confrontation for now.
With this leverage over her, she can reasonably suspect Anru if anything happens to her in Huating in the future.
She had inquired about the old master of the An family's style of doing things and found that he valued his own people the most. With the old master of the An family around, An Ru's words and actions would definitely be subject to special control in the future.
So she calmly nodded in agreement.
Grandpa An's legal advisor didn't keep her waiting long. He rushed into the police station, ignoring Hui Meiqing's eager gaze, and stood in front of Qin Suisui without pausing.
"Lawyer Qin, it's a pleasure to meet you! My surname is Zhang, Zhang Bin, and I am Vice Chairman An's legal advisor."
"Nice to meet you, Attorney Zhang!"
Zhang Bin calmly glanced at Hui Meiqing and Wei Ming: "Director Hui, I would like to have a private conversation with Attorney Qin. Please excuse me for the time being."
Hui Meiqing's face was filled with shame and indignation. She nodded with difficulty, "Okay!"
He turned and quickly walked out. Seeing this, Wei Ming gave Zhang Bin an awkward smile and chased after him.
Seeing that the two of them had left, Zhang Bin didn't beat around the bush when facing Qin Suisui and directly gave her the bottom line.
"Qin Lu, Chairman An's intention is to have Miss An under house arrest for two years, ensuring that Qin Lu will not be threatened or harmed by any member of the An family in Huating."
Qin Suisui lowered her head and smiled: "How can Chairman An guarantee that?"
"There's no need for Qin Lu to worry about that. Chairman An has set up various family funds for all the heirs of the An family. Qin Lu may not know Chairman An well, but Chairman An has always been tough on those who damage the family's honor."
"Unless the family members want to be kicked out with nothing, they have no choice but to do as Chairman An says."
"I believe that Chairman An's decision is the best solution for Lawyer Qin."
Qin Suisui nodded thoughtfully: "However, I hope there is a written agreement. I cannot accept a verbal agreement."
"Of course, no problem. Anjia will provide a settlement agreement!"
Zhang Bin's expression softened. He liked talking to intelligent people and was most afraid of those stubborn people who wouldn't listen to reason.
He extended his right hand and said with a smile, "It's a pleasure to work with you. It seems that Qin Lu has truly deserved his position."
