Best novel online free at novelhall.com or NovelTeam.Net

Lawyer Peng heaved a long sigh, dreading his meeting with the Attorney General. At this time, the expression on his face was no longer the same as it was a few days ago when he came to meet the Attorney General for the first time after he was taken to the station.

After learning of what the Attorney General had done, Lawyer Peng was tired. His manner was no longer as confident or arrogant as before.

The last few days, he has been doing a lot of thinking. After the first r*pe accusation, another woman had appeared at the police station to file a report against the Attorney General. Then, there was the third accusation and the fourth.

At this time, Lawyer Peng did not know how many women have become the man's victim. But, no matter how he tried to find out from the Attorney General, that man would not tell him anything.

It was then that he met a few of the Attorney General's men. His secretary did not want to say anything, but his driver had let out a few clues and thus, Lawyer Peng found out that the Attorney General liked to hire a woman to accompany him. Later, he would bring them to a club and would always stay in the same private room.

From a staff of the club, he then learned that the Attorney General had some weird hobby. He liked to torture the women before he slept with them. 

Apparently, this matter has become an open secret for everyone in the club. Even though they were aware of it, none of them dared to report it. Anyway, nothing would happen to the Attorney General when they filed a report, but instead, they might lose their job.

One of the club staff who chose to be anonymous had once seen what the Attorney General did and he could not bear it and later choose to file a police report. The next day, he was beaten by a group of men and later, was accused of stealing from the customer before he was fired.

When Lawyer Peng heard how the women would be found half-dead in the room the next morning, his face turned dark. He tried to find some of those women to ask, and heard that the allegation was true. 

Suddenly, Lawyer Peng became dispirited.

Like everyone else, he too looked up to Attorney General Leng. But after he heard their stories and saw the evidence that they have provided, the image that Attorney General Leng had in his mind started to crumble. The respect he had for that man gradually disappeared.

Lawyer Peng halted when he noticed a man blocking his path. Looking up, he realized that this man was the same police who had apprehended the Attorney General just before he could walk out of the door.

"Lawyer Peng," the man nodded at him as a form of greetings.

"You are…"

"Captain Steven Qi," he offered him a handshake.

A light flashed in Lawyer Peng's eyes. He scrutinized the man in front of him and noticed that, unlike the first time they ran into each other, this time, the man was in his uniform. The badges on his uniform showed his rank. Previously, this man was not in his uniform and he did not pay too much attention towards him.

"You're new here," Lawyer Peng said.

"Mmm… I was transferred here a few weeks ago."

Lawyer Peng continued to study the man in front of him and suddenly thought that the captain looked a little familiar. His eyes and nose resembled a respected figure in the country. "You're not from Y City, are you?"

The smile on the captain's lips widened. "Lawyer Peng, you are smart."

Lawyer Peng was a little startled that he had guessed it right. He let out a chuckle and asked, "What? The Qi family is planning to spread their influence in L City now?"

"We have no such intention," the captain said and chuckled. His transfer to this city was due to a special request by a member of his family. Later, they thought that it would not be a bad thing to let him keep his eyes on some people in the city.

Seeing the deep frown on Lawyer Peng's face, the captain's smile stretched up. "Lawyer Peng, a word of advice from me. If you want to keep your job and reputation, you should drop that troublesome client of yours. You might be able to pull some strings, but we are not going to back down and let him go."

Lawyer Peng did not answer but he had a feeling that the person in front of him had investigated and knew about Attorney General Leng's heinous act. He swallowed his saliva and curled his lips into a faint smile. "I came here to meet my client."

Captain Qi stared at the lawyer's face for a while before he led him towards one of the rooms.

…

When Aaron came over to the apartment, he was surprised to see the number of boxes lined up at the corner. He turned to Grandpa Mike and asked, "Are they moving out?"

"Mmm…" Mike nodded. "The baby will come out soon. They wanted a bigger place so that the kids will be able to run freely.

A while ago, Mike was informed that both Edith and Neil were planning to move out to a new place. Although this apartment had excellent security, he would still find it uncomfortable to live among the brick and stones.

Previously, he had seen the new place. It was big, but what Mike liked the most about the place was the large courtyard. There are spaces for the kids to run around and the place gave off a relaxing feeling.

As Aaron walked in, he saw that his old friend was walking down the stairs and his eyes grew wide. "I haven't seen you in a few weeks, and you've grown bigger."

Edith stared back at her friend with a threatening gaze and seconds later, Aaron got a slap on his arms from Mike.

"Where is my granddaughter big? Aaron Li, if you talk nonsense, you can leave now."

Aaron touched his nose. "Grandpa, I did not mean it that way. It hasn't been a long time since I saw Edith, but her stomach has gotten slightly bigger than the last time." Seeing the dissatisfaction on Mike's face, Aaron quickly held on to the old man's arms. "Grandpa, I'm guessing that your great-grandchild should be a very healthy kid."

Hearing Aaron's words, his heart softened a little bit. Mike snorted and walked over to the living area. He took a seat and looked at Aaron again. "Why did you come here to see me?"

Aaron went over to sit down next to the old man. "Grandpa, the higher-ups wanted you to come over and help us with the case again."

Mike raised a brow. "What's wrong? The last time, didn't you guys said that you have nothing more to ask?"

"Recently, a new captain was transferred to the station and there has been a major shuffle in the team," Aaron said. His eyes grew dark. "Some of the guys were pulled out and transferred away when they were found guilty of some crimes. Later, we found out that they have been messing with the investigation files.. This is why the higher-ups wanted you to come over and help. Grandpa, will you come?"
