"No need for that. Go to Haidong Law Firm and find a lawyer named Lin Xiaokun. He is our group's legal advisor in the Dali area and a very senior and top-notch lawyer. Just say that I recommended him, and he will help you."
"This...isn't it too much trouble for him?"
"No trouble at all... If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."
"etc……"
"Is there anything else?"
After gathering my courage, I finally spoke to her, "Once things are settled here, I'd like to go to Shanghai... Could we meet then?"
"I will not meet with you."
"What if I went back to Shanghai specifically because of what happened between us?"
"There are some things you don't need to explain to me... Let's just mind our own business. I've been quite busy this year."
I felt a pang of disappointment, then whispered to her, "I don't know if this counts as a polite rejection... Anyway, I will definitely go to Shanghai. Whether you see me or not is up to you. I won't force you... Just think of it as a trip to Shanghai."
After a brief silence, Ye Zhi hung up the phone. I felt a pang of sadness for no reason, and then I comforted myself... Maybe she just wanted some peace and quiet. If she were really a heartless and cold-hearted woman, she wouldn't be acting this way.
Anyway, judging from Tie Nan's situation, Ye Zhi is a woman with a very broad perspective. Her advice was very appropriate, and I found it very helpful... But in matters of the heart, she's just as conflicted as I am. This is understandable, since she doesn't have much romantic experience. Even if she's adept at handling interpersonal relationships, she might not be able to apply that same approach to romantic relationships.
Rationally speaking, both Ye Zhi and I are naive when it comes to relationships, so suspicion is inevitable.
...
Looking up at the cloudless sky, I finally stubbed out my cigarette and headed to the police station. Without much trouble, I explained Tie Nan's situation to Wang Xiaoling and pressed my fingerprint on the statement.
Wang Xiaoling was surprised by this, because before, I was determined to save Tie Nan at all costs, but now I have taken the initiative to reveal the suspicious points about Tie Nan.
I didn't explain; I figured that as a police officer, she would understand once she thought about it.
...
After leaving the police station, I went straight to the "Haidong Law Firm" and found the lawyer named Lin Xiaokun. Ye Zhi had already spoken to him, so when I offered to pay his legal fees, he refused.
I can imagine what Ye Zhi said to him. Besides gratitude, I also felt a little ashamed... although she might not have thought of it as a problem.
...
After initial communication, Lin Xiaokun and I went to Majiuyi together, where we signed a lawyer's representation agreement with Taozi. In the afternoon, he went to the Public Security Bureau to follow up on Tie Nan's case.
After that, I consulted a friend in Dali. He said that Lin Xiaokun is arguably the best lawyer in Dali, and that entrusting Tie Nan's case to him would be very secure. In addition, Lin Xiaokun's real strength lies not only in his professional skills but also in his local legal resources, both of which are crucial for the client.
