Yu Anning wasn't really that confident. Qi Wenyuan had been in the US for so many years and had a pretty good network of connections, but several of his lawyer friends weren't too willing to take the case. As soon as they heard that Li Qiqi was a foreigner, they lost interest and suggested he just pay bail.
Yu Anning had never heard of Lu Ziqun having any particularly important friends in the US before. Although she didn't have high hopes, she was still grateful for Lu Ziqun's thoughtfulness and didn't want to refuse directly, so she asked, "Wouldn't that be too much trouble for your friend?"
"No, we get along quite well. Qingqing knows her too. She works at one of the best hospitals in the US and knows a lot of people, maybe even lawyers!"
Ye Qingqing knew immediately that she was talking about Qian Manduo. Just like Yu Anning, she also felt that the chances were slim. Qi Wenyuan was also a famous doctor and had been working in the United States for many years, but he still couldn't find a lawyer willing to take the case.
The problem now isn't whether you have connections, but whether those lawyers are willing to take the case; otherwise, having a wide network is useless.
“Anning’s boyfriend also works at the best hospital in the area, so it’s probably quite difficult for him to get ahead,” Ye Qingqing said directly.
Lu Ziqun immediately felt discouraged, "Then... then I can't help you either, I only know a lot of people."
"Thank you anyway." Yu Anning smiled; she was already very grateful for the kind gesture.
Compared to Li Wensong, the biological father, who remained indifferent, Lü Ziqun, being only a former aunt, was quite remarkable.
Ye Qingqing had a sudden thought and said to Yu Anning, "Your husband Qi and my classmate Qian Manduo don't know each other, do they?"
They both work at the best hospitals in the US, and they're both of Chinese descent; they might even know each other.
Yu Anning was also stunned. She picked up her phone and called Qi Wenyuan, asking Ye Qingqing to ask him directly.
"Dr. Qian? Of course I know her. She's my junior colleague, a fantastic general surgeon. I didn't know she was your classmate. What a coincidence!" Qi Wenyuan was also surprised.
He and Qian Manduo had a good relationship. Since they were taught by the same professor and were compatriots, their relationship was naturally better. Moreover, Qi Wenyuan admired Qian Manduo's tenacity, which was stronger than that of many men, and Qi Wenyuan felt inferior to him.
"It's quite a coincidence. The world is really not that big. Let's get together for dinner sometime," Ye Qingqing said with a smile.
"Of course, no problem. I haven't contacted her since I returned to China." Qi Wenyuan readily agreed, as he also wanted to get together with his junior sister.
Ye Qingqing hung up the phone, and Lü Ziqun also hung up. After thinking about it, she still called Qian Manduo to ask him, just to put her mind at ease. After all, it was still a way out.
Qian Manduo happened to be in the US, and in the same city as Li Qiqi. When Ye Qingqing told him about it, Qian Manduo said irritably, "Why bother saving a child like this? Let her go to jail."
What she hates most are kids from well-off families who have no ambition. She never gave up on her studies even when she was poor. These kids don't have to worry about food, clothing, or tuition fees. Their parents have arranged everything for them. They just need to focus on their studies. If they can't even do something this simple, what's the point of saving them?
Ye Qingqing's lips twitched. She knew that Boss Qian would say that. Compared to a genius like Qian Manduo, Li Qiqi was nothing. She was just a product of money. She would show her true colors after going to the United States.
Fortunately, she didn't put it on speakerphone, otherwise Yu Anning would have been so embarrassed if she had heard it.
"She's still just a child, let's give her one last chance. Do you have any connections in this area?"
