In the police station…

Attorney General Leng tugged at his sleeve and buttoned them properly. He glanced at the officers with disdain and he was secretly making plans to make their life difficult.

Yesterday, the police had come over to his office with an arrest warrant. As a law-abiding citizen, Attorney General Leng had no other choice but to follow the police back to the station. Before he left, he had instructed Secretary Liu to contact his lawyer to help him out of his situation.

The lawyer one of the top lawyers in the city and had a high winning percentage in his record.

When Attorney General Leng saw his old friend, his heart quickly was at ease. With his friend's help, it would not be long before he can get away with the accusation.

The Attorney General sneered when he thought of the reason he was taken to the police station. Previously, he had a few dealings with Director Feng and the others. He did not think that because of their carelessness, he would be implicated in their problem and had to face all this bullshit.

He has been following the news about MH Group from day one and was aware of everything that has been going on. It was just that… Attorney General Leng did not expect that the directors would get caught. He had thought that those people would at least be smart enough to cover their tracks that would lead to him, but who would have guessed that those directors would be stupid enough.

Those people wanted to give him money and he only wanted to help them with legal matters. What was wrong with that?

Fortunately, he was someone with influence and could still get out of this predicament.

The door was suddenly pushed from the outside and soon, his lawyer walked in. After exchanging a few words, Attorney General Leng walked out of the room with his lawyer following behind him.

He snickered as he walked past the officer who has been accusing him of that crime in the interrogation room a while ago. His lips curled into a smile as he was approaching the glass door.

In just a few steps, he would be free. His lawyer had guaranteed that he could help and push all crimes to the three directors and wash his name from this crime. Attorney General Leng was sure that he would win.

However, just before he was able to reach the door, an officer with a burly figure stopped just in front of him.

Instantly, Attorney General Leng's face turned ugly. "Move aside!"

The officer stared at the Attorney General's face and his expression grew cloudy. "I'm sorry, but you cannot leave this place."

"What are you doing?" the lawyer stepped forward. "Attorney General Leng is allowed to leave this place. He has been cleared of all charges." Pulling a few papers from his briefcase, the lawyer started to wave them at the officer's face.

The officer curled his lips into a smile that did not reach his eyes. "I'm sorry. But you really cannot leave this place." He glanced at his partner and soon, his partner start to wave a paper to the lawyer. "Attorney General Leng, you are under arrest."

Attorney General Leng stared at the officer with his eyes wide. "What do you mean by this? Don't you know who I am? Do you not want your job? I'm telling you, with one phone call, I can make you no longer able to stay in this city!"

The officer ignored his word and instead, pulled out his handcuff. Then, he started to read the Attorney General's new charges and his right.

His face turned pale when he heard about his new charge. "R*pe and assault?"

"Attorney General!" The lawyer tugged at the man's arm. "Tell me this isn't true." He waved the paper in front of the Attorney General and his expression grew uglier.

The old man stared at the paper and started to read the words on the paper. Suddenly, Attorney General Leng felt a lump in his throat. "This is not true!" His eyes were looking at his lawyer with his sharp gaze. "You go and find out just what the hell is going on!"

"I will help you and tell you what is going on," the officer said. "Last night, when you were spending your time in that room, a woman named Susan Xiong uploaded a post claiming that she worked for you a few years ago."

Attorney General Leng felt his breath hitched upon hearing that name. It has been a few years since the last time he heard that name. Why did she have to appear now?

"You wouldn't believe what she said in that post." The Officer let out a chuckle. "Miss Susan Xiong had admitted that all charges against you are true. Other than the evidence we gathered, the lady had provided us with more evidence."

"It was all lies!" General Attorney Leng shouted, causing a commotion in the police station.

The police officer cocked his head and smiled. "Furthermore… that lady had said that a few years ago when she was working under you, she had found out about your corruption. When she talked to her direct supervisor…"

"Shut up!" General Attorney Leng looked at the officer angrily.

"When she talked to her supervisor, you then arranged for a private meeting with that lady where you then assaulted her." The officer's expression turned gloomy by the time he finished talking.

"That's a lie!" Attorney General Leng hissed. "I don't know who that lady is, but clearly, she was just trying to get some attention using my situation."

"That lady came over to the station a while ago," the officer spoke. "A report has been made. Whether it is a lie or not, as the officer in charge, we will have to keep you here to investigate. Attorney General Leng, I hope that you can understand my position."

Attorney General Leng's face turned red with anger and his chest heaved up and down as he tried to steady his breathing. He stared at the officer for a long time and realized that he had never seen his face before. "Who are you? I have never seen your face before! What is your rank here? Do you even know who I am?"

"Attorney General Leng," his lawyer called. "Stay calm. I will go and check what is going on. I promise, once I return, I will let you out from here."

He took a deep breath as he looked at his lawyer and slowly, Attorney General Leng nodded before he went away with the new officer.
