Chapter 509: 238 Substitute (Second Update)

Qu Feitai turned to look, and the girl had already shifted her gaze to the open courtyard.

She was entirely hidden in the shadows of the lights, her expression unclear. Her skirt, whiter than snow, gently fluttered in the night wind.

Qu Feitai slightly furrowed his brow, recalling her words just now.

The heart-wrenching melancholy seemed to come from a time-worn old man who had experienced the hardships, betrayals, and pain of the world and finally reached reconciliation and let go of everything.

Qu Feitai looked at her calm and composed face, his heart suddenly ached.

She was still a young girl, at the most carefree age, yet she seemed like an old person who had gone through a thousand sails. Rather than letting go, it was more like suppressing it all along.

Even if she had been worshipping Buddha since childhood, it would be impossible to completely let go of everything. Even Buddha, could he truly transcend the world?

Qu Feitai raised his hand and hesitated above her shoulder before ultimately lowering it, feeling helpless.

Ye Zhen leaned on Lan Huixin’s shoulder, looking distraught as she walked out.

Ming Jing glanced at her indifferently and walked away.

Qu Feitai took a few long strides to catch up.

After standing up, the man looked at the police station emblem and smiled. He went inside, briskly carrying his briefcase.

All Zhu Xiangxiang could do is watch the man walk by her and disappear into the doorway. Suddenly, she realized who he was.

He... he was Li Qingzhuo, the most famous lawyer in the country, who never lost a case.

Last time Zhu Shaodan got into trouble, the Zhus hired a whole team of lawyers, but they couldn’t compete with him alone.

In the legal circle, there’s a saying: Li Qingzhuo alone can defeat a thousand enemies. The saying was not an exaggeration.

Why would he appear here? Was he here for Liang Xiaohong?

If he was Liang Xiaohong’s lawyer, it would be dangerous. Liang Xiaohong would definitely be released on bail.

How could she, just an agent, be able to get Li Qingzhuo to help her?

Then she realized something wasn’t right. She remembered Ming Jing mentioning deeper capital behind Liang Xiaohong, which was the real source of her fearlessness.

Zhu Xiangxiang felt her body and realized she had lost her phone at the Crown Club. How could she inform Ming Jing?

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Xiangxiang mustered her courage and walked back into the police station.

She held her breath and tiptoed in, and saw that the bustling hall was as quiet as a pin drop. The police officers were busy at their posts, but their eyes unconsciously glanced in the same direction.
