The next day, Lan Qingqing met with her lawyer. During their conversation, her emotions were extremely unstable. She felt somewhat mentally unhinged, having been inexplicably arrested and accused. In this place, no one believed her or listened to her explanations.
The lawyer tried to calm Lan Qingqing down, but she couldn't control her emotions. "I didn't kill anyone! That old man was already dead when I entered his room! I was terrified, and my bag fell to the floor, which is why my lipstick was found there! It's such a big villa, and there wasn't a soul around—doesn't that seem strange? Someone must have deliberately murdered him and framed me for it! It has to be Ying Rong Xiao who killed Wan Zhang because once Wan Zhang is dead, Ying Rong Xiao can inherit all of his assets! Why won't they believe me?"
The lawyer gestured to soothe her. "Miss Lan, I understand your feelings, but the police and the court only look at evidence. What you say doesn't matter; no matter how much you explain, it's just your perspective. Ying Rong Xiao has hired a very skilled lawyer, and from their demeanor, it seems they are determined to send you to prison."
Lan Qingqing broke down and shouted, "I didn't kill anyone! You have to let Tong Le come see me! We've been friends for a long time; she knows me! Although I can be jealous, I have no reason to kill an old man! This is all a trap set by Ying Rong Xiao and Ke Wenjie! Tong Le knows this! She understands Ke Wenjie better than anyone; she will definitely believe that I didn't kill Wan Zhang!"
The lawyer gestured again. "Alright, Miss Lan, please calm down. Miss Tong cannot meet with you right now; in fact, no one can see you, including Mo Xian, who has been worried about you from outside. Everyone is trying to help you, so please adjust your emotions."
Lan Qingqing forced herself to calm down.
The lawyer continued, "The current situation regarding your case is not favorable for you, but I will do everything I can to help you. The cause of Wan Zhang's death has been determined; although your suspicion is significant, the key evidence that led to Wan Zhang's demise has not yet been found. So there's no need for you to panic. Moreover, Miss Tong has repeatedly instructed me to ensure that I get you out of here; we are all working for you."
Lan Qingqing anxiously asked, "So can I leave here soon?"
Seeing her eagerness, the lawyer felt it was time to reveal what Tong Le had entrusted him with. "Miss Lan, I am quite confident that I can get you out of here. However, before that, I need you to be honest with me about something."
Lan Qingqing became excited. "I'll tell you anything!"
The lawyer said, "You know about Wu Youyou's case, right?"
Lan Qingqing's expression changed suddenly. "Why are you bringing that up?"
The lawyer explained frankly, "Miss Tong asked me to tell you that if you disclose who you bought the illegal drugs from back then, just based on that lead alone, it could help mitigate your punishment. At the same time, Miss Tong also said that as long as you come clean about it, she will do everything possible to assist with your case regarding Wan Zhang."
Lan Qingqing fell silent for a moment and realized the lawyer's intention was to extract information from her; he was threatening her!
Furious, Lan Qingqing shouted, "Are you out of your mind? What does Wu Youyou's case have to do with me? That case happened ages ago—why are you still clinging to it? I see you're not genuinely here to help me with my case; you're just trying to disgust me!"
"I don't need you anymore!" Lan Qingqing demanded. "I want a new lawyer!"
