The next morning, Tang Li arrived at the door with the lawyer he had found.
"Lin Rui, a graduate of Tsinghua University, is quite well-known in the industry and has no failed cases so far," Tang Lilong introduced.
Su Yan's gaze lingered between him and Lin Rui. After a moment of silence, she slowly said, "Uncle Tang, those worthless bastards in the Su family aren't worthy of our fuss, are they?"
“You can’t say that. If you want them to suffer, you’ll have to put in some effort,” Tang Li said.
Su Yan didn't say anything, but smiled at Lin Rui and took the initiative to say, "Hello, Attorney Lin, my name is Su Yan."
Lin Rui has long, flowing hair and an ordinary appearance. She is wearing a black suit and black high heels that are about three centimeters high. She has a clean and neat demeanor and the air of a strong woman.
She gave a standard smile. "Hello Su Yan, you can call me Sister Lin, no need to be so formal. Tang Li has already told me about what happened between you and your grandfather's family, and I already have..."
"Su Yan!"
A series of hurried footsteps, accompanied by a serious voice, came in.
Director Miao strode into the room and paused for a moment when he saw the group of people sitting in the living room. But he didn't care about that and immediately said to Su Yan, "Your grandfather and the others have gone back. It was a notice from above."
The atmosphere froze and fell silent instantly.
Su Yan's expression turned cold at a visible speed, and she said in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
Director Miao took a deep breath and explained, "Your grandfather made a phone call yesterday, and this morning we received a notice to let the family go immediately. However, there are many witnesses to your grandmother's case of injuring your mother, and she has already been convicted, so she cannot be released. Therefore, everyone else has left except for her."
"A notice from above?" Su Yan gritted her teeth and asked, "Which above?"
"The bureau chief told me to let them go, but judging from his tone, it seemed like he was following orders from above. I guess it was your grandfather who made that phone call and pulled some strings."
Director Miao had no choice; he couldn't refuse the orders from above. If he didn't carry them out, they could fire him at any time.
"So, they're innocent? I can't ask you to bring them back?" Su Yan's face was grim.
Director Miao analyzed, "Comrade Su Yan, what your grandfather and the others did was ultimately unsuccessful, and there is no substantial evidence. At most, they will be detained for a few days and then released. So there is nothing we can do. I suggest you stop focusing on this matter and let your grandmother's charges be more secure for now. What you should be worried about now is whether your grandfather will try to get your grandmother out after he goes back."
Su Yan was speechless, a strong sense of powerlessness rising from the depths of her heart.
She turned her gaze to Lin Rui.
Lin Rui pursed her lips, thought for a few seconds, and finally nodded at her.
Having no other option, Su Yan could only ask, "Then how should we proceed with Wang Guihua's matter?"
She thinks it's disgusting to call me "Grandma"!
"Please submit Li Juan's injury assessment certificate. I have all the other documents here. Just submit them. I've helped you increase Wang Guihua's sentence to 5 years. The exact sentence will depend on the final result."
"Okay," Su Yan said absentmindedly. "I'll take it to the police station later."
Director Miao: "Try to think positively. At least the person who did the dirty work can't get away with it. I'm leaving now."
After Director Miao left, the atmosphere became even more somber.
Tang Li sighed, "It seems we were a step too late."
Lin Rui also said, "Miss Su, I wanted to tell you at first that Director Miao is right. Your grandfather and the others are at most guilty of attempted crime, and it's not a serious matter. They should be out in ten days at most, unless..."
Su Yan immediately looked at her.
She smiled helplessly: "Unless your connections are stronger than your grandfather's, I don't think it's necessary to make a big fuss just to put them in jail for a few days."
What connections can Su Yan use?
Jiang Jingxing?
She glanced back at the silent man, then decided against it.
"Then wish them good luck. If they dare to do something reckless again, then I can use my connections."
Jiang Jingxing: ? That's it?
He was still waiting for her to speak to him, but she just let it go so easily? She didn't even have the slightest urge to confront Zhou Yuanqing last night.
Lin Rui stood up and said, "It seems I can't be of much help. Here is my business card. You can contact me if you have any questions in the future."
Su Yan took the business card handed to her and said, "Thank you, Attorney Lin. I'm sorry to have troubled you. Why don't you stay for dinner today? Consider it making friends."
"Making friends is great, but we don't need to eat. I have to go to my next client's house." Lin Rui said in a light and humorous tone, "If I ever have the chance to come to Anping Town again, I'll definitely stay for a meal."
Su Yan didn't force anyone. After personally seeing the person off, she returned and collapsed onto the sofa, looking utterly hopeless.
Jiang Jingxing said, "I can help you."
She refused outright: "No, it's unnecessary and not worth it."
Even if Jiang Jingxing has been taking care of her out of respect for his elder brother, how can you explain such things? Once you use it, it's gone forever, and the Su family isn't worth wasting her time on.
"But aren't you unhappy?" he asked, puzzled.
Su Yan rested her chin on her hand and replied, "I'm unhappy because Grandpa Su actually has a powerful backer. If he causes trouble for my family in the future, won't I be helpless? So I need to think of a way to deal with it so that they won't bully my mother and the others in the future."
Jiang Jingxing remained silent.
Because he suddenly realized that Su Yan was even more independent than he had thought.
Otherwise, if a normal young girl had connections, wouldn't she have relied on them long ago?
Meanwhile, the Su family they were talking about had just returned to the village.
Once the door was closed, Zhang Yu couldn't contain herself any longer. "Dad, are we just going to let this go? Is Azhi really not going to university? He's your grandson! You have to think of something!"
After spending several nights in jail, everyone in the Su family looked like they had aged more than ten years.
Old Master Su hadn't even caught his breath after being released from prison when he heard these death knell-like words. He glared at them and said irritably, "There's still more than a month left, what's the rush?"
"What about the braised food recipe? We can't give up on that either!" Zhang Yu brought up another matter.
Actually, she felt that once she got the formula and the ten thousand yuan, it didn't matter whether Su Zhi went to university or not. But when she thought that Su Yan could go to university while her son couldn't, she was unwilling.
Why can Li Juan's daughter go to university, but her son can't? So she has to hold onto both of them!
"Shut up!" said the eldest son, Su Chang'an. "Can't you see Dad's annoyed? You idiot, you can't even hold your temper. You might as well go to jail with Mom and get free meals. There's no need to waste the family's food!"
