Chapter 720 Got off Cleverly
Song Yunxuan thought of Chu Mochen and felt slight discomfort.
Lu Feng, seeing her dropping her eyes, thought that he must have reminded her of her sad past, so he asked to leave first. “It’s getting late. I’ll not bother you further and leave for now.”
“Don’t let the media catch you going into the other room during the middle of the night.”
Lu Feng smiled, “Don’t worry. I arranged the paparazzi in and outside the hotel. They’ll write the article as you want.”
Song Yunxuan nodded after hearing Lu Feng’s words, “Good.”
Sending Lu Feng out, Song Yunxuan walked towards the wine cabinet in the room without realizing, pouring the Lufite into a goblet.
She was just about to take the cup to her lips when her stomach shuddered as if a small thing had been kicking around inside.
Song Yunxuan frowned and lowered the goblet with a sour smile. She gently put her hand on her lower stomach and said tenderly, “Sorry, I forgot about you.”
The baby in her stomach quieted down as if it could understand what she said.
It had been 14 weeks.
As long as she made through the rest of the days peacefully, there would be nothing that could separate her from her baby.
She walked to the couch and sat down, looking outside the window. She murmured to her baby, “When you’re born, I’ll be a good mother. I wasn’t able to watch Miaomiao and Yi grow up, and I regret it very much after I reborn. Now that you’re here with me in my life, I’ll take good care of you.”
Her stomach was quiet as if the baby had been seriously listening to her.
She tightened her lips and smiled, “If Mochen were still alive, he would love you, my precious baby.”
There was only her alone in her room, and no one would see or hear anything regardless of what she did or said.
She had always acted dominantly to others, but now she suddenly felt very tiring.
Tilting her body slightly, she looked towards the ceiling and closed her eyes tiredly, wishing to rest for a bit on the couch before going to bed.
Yet, closing her eyes, all she could think of were things in the past.
Song Yan, Song Yunjia, Chu Mochen, Song Yunqiang, and Song Yunying…
The lousy disturbances restlessly occupied her mind.
She was so tired. Closing her eyes and thinking of all those people made her feel that she returned to the old days when she had to calculate and scheme for everything.
It was warm in the room. She rubbed her eyebrows to ease her troubled mind so that she could stop thinking of the past.
To her, all the things that had happened could stay in the past.
She only wanted eternal damnation for Shao Tianze now.
After Song Yunxuan got the information, the media soon forwarded the evidence they shot to the police.
After a night of media preparation and coverage, Harbor City Morning Posts went out.
The entire upper-class society in Harbor City exploded with the information.
And the marriage between the Shao Family and the Luo Family became a damaging accident all of a sudden.
Luo Chen was now missing, and the police caught Shao Tianze shortly after receiving a call.
The news reached Gu Changle, and she was struck by anxiety and distraught.
She had no one by her side that she could discuss this with, so she decided to seek help from the renowned criminal lawyer Meng Youran in Yuncheng after consideration.
She spoke right after meeting Meng Youran. “Name any price, as long as you can help Tianze return to Yuncheng.”
Harbor City was out of the Shao Family’s reach.
Plus, even though Gu Changge used to have a huge personal network in Harbor City, Shao Tianze had already terminated all the relationships after he changed the Gu’s to the Shao’s.
Even if the networks weren’t cut out and those relationships were kept, the people in Harbor City would not offer to help Shao Tianze for Gu Changge had already died.
Gu Changle had felt that Gu Changge had friends everywhere when she was still alive.
After she had died, Gu Changle came to realize that without Gu Changge, there was no way for her to manage the relationship network alone.
Meng Youran, hearing what Gu Changle had said, smiled, “Please rest assured, Miss Gu. I will try my best to do what I can do.”
Gu Changle was not, however, content, “Lawyer Meng, I would like to emphasize that I do not wish to see you try your best, but you must make it.”
Meng Youran nodded, “Of course.”
Even though Meng Youran had agreed, Gu Changle still felt unassured.
Meng Youran was the best lawyer in Yuncheng. From what she had heard, he was extremely conceited, and 95% of his cases were successfully concluded according to the party’s wish.
Yet a person like this did not promise her that he could save Shao Tianze with any certainty.
This implied that Meng Youran did not have that much confidence in saving Shao Tianze.
Gu Changle pursed her lips and walked quickly around the living room in distraught. Then she clenched her fists and muttered to herself, “No, I have to make Meng Youran get Tianze back to Yuncheng.”
It was always easier to do work on your own turf.
Yet not so easy if you were in others’ territory.
Gu Changle suspected that Meng Youran did not have confidence in saving Shao Tianze, and in fact, he really did not have 100% certainty.
He won the opportunity to meet with Shao Tianze after negotiating with the police.
Shao Tianze had just woken up with bruises on his face and a broken lip, coupled with his head bounded bandages.
His entire face was swollen up due to the beating.
When Meng Youran finally saw him, he could not recognize him as the high-spirited head of the Shao Family at all.
It was Shao Tianze who identified him first, “I suppose you’re Lawyer Meng.”
“Yes.”
Shao Tianze nodded and asked, “How is old Mr. Luo?”
“He’s okay now, thanks to emergency doctors.”
“Can he speak?”
“Not yet.”
Shao Tianze, with his hands in handcuffs, asked once again with a blank face, “Is there anything you would like to ask me?”
Meng Youran asked, “How did you get these wounds, Mr. Shao?”
He actually knew that Shao Tianze was beaten up by Luo Xi, but he still wanted to ask for it himself.
“Haven’t the police investigated this already?”
Shao Tianze knew that if something happened to him in Harbor City, the Harbor City police would not favor him at all.
“They have. I simply wanted to hear you telling me yourself, President Shao.”
Shao Tianze glanced at Meng Youran, squinting his eyes before speaking gloomily, “Luo Xi beat me.”
“Okay.”
“Can you bail me out?”
“This might be very difficult.”
“Are you saying that you’re not capable of doing so?” Shao Tianze frowned with obvious discontent.
Meng Youran glanced at him and said, “Mr. Shao, please calm down. There are too many things involved, and I’m not completely clear on how much power behind this wants to make you stay here. Therefore, there’s no use for me to rashly guarantee to bail you out.”
Shao Tianze found what Meng Youran said sensible, so he frowned and said nothing.
Meng Youran saw that Shao Tianze had been frowning the entire time and said, “Please don’t worry too much, President Shao. I’ll try my best.” He said.
“What am I supposed to say then?” Shao Tianze asked Meng Youran.
Meng Youran frowned slightly at this question and paused for a moment before saying, “In my opinion, you’d better say nothing, President Shao.”
“Really?” Shao Tianze did not trust Meng Youran.
Meng Youran’s eyes twitched as he heard the question. “If you do not trust me, there is nothing I can do. Based on our current situation, there are still too many unknown factors involved. Even the police could not decide if you attempted to murder Mr. Luo with a clear state of mind.”
Shao Tianze contemplated what he said.
Seeing Shao Tianze deep in his thoughts, Meng Youran said again, “I believe that you are a wise man.”
“Thank you for your advice, Lawyer Meng.”
Meng Youran smiled and said, “Miss Gu is concerned about you. Since I’ve asked everything I needed to ask on the matter, I shall tell her about the situation now.”
“Thank you.”
Meng Youran nodded and left the room.
Meng Youran originally planned to come and bail Shao Tianze out overnight. But since this was an emergency, it was already 7 in the morning after he prepared everything and finished meeting Shao Tianze and asking the questions.
Meng Youran told Gu Changle about Shao Tianze.
Gu Changle disagreed with Meng Youran’s advice. “What do you mean? Do you want Shao Tianze to shut up entirely when the policemen interrogate him?”
“There’s no need to worry, Miss Gu. Mr. Shao knows what he should do.”
Meng Youran tried to persuade her.
Gu Changle did not listen at all. She pointed at Meng Youran’s nose and scolded, “I’ll tell you that I’m paying you as much as you ask. You took in my case, and you must be responsible for it.”
Meng Youran nodded. “There’s no need to worry, Miss Gu. I keep this in my heart since I graduated and will always remember it even without you reminding me.”
Gu Changle frowned and wanted to ask something else.
Yet Meng Youran could not listen to her any longer and said, “If you do not have any other business, Miss Gu, I shall return.”
“Wait, you…”
Gu Changle wanted to continue talking to Meng Youran, yet Meng Youran left directly before Gu Changle’s eyes without looking back.
Soon, Song Yunxuan also heard about Gu Changle hiring Meng Youran as an attorney.
Shao Xue worriedly made a phone call to Song Yunxuan, “From what I’ve heard, Meng Youran is a great lawyer.”
“What can Meng Youran do now that we have both eyewitnesses and material evidence?” Luo Xi frowned.
Song Yunxuan, however, still saw Meng Youran as a threat. After Shao Xue spoke about Gu Change hiring Meng Youran as the attorney, Song Yunxuan frowned slightly and said, “She went to Meng Youran. Pretty clever of her.”
“Is this Meng Youran good?” Luo Xi was confused.
Hearing Luo Xi’s question on the other side of the line, Song Yunxuan answered with a sultry tone, “It would be fine if it were any other lawyer, but this is Meng Youran we are talking about. Meng Youran has always been proven capable of finding a clever excuse for the suspect.”
It wouldn’t have been so challenging if it had been any other lawyer, but she wasn’t sure if she could beat Shao Tianze if Meng Youran was his lawyer.
