Facing Lan Qingqing's sudden change in demeanor, the lawyer was not surprised at all. Given the current situation, Tong Le had anticipated this and had warned him in advance.
The lawyer smiled. "Miss Lan, you may not be aware of the circumstances outside right now. The reason I am here to see you is because I was commissioned by Miss Tong. She has taken it upon herself to handle this matter because Mo Kai Liang has reached certain conditions with her."
Lan Qingqing scoffed. "Why are you telling me this? There are so many lawyers in the world; why would I need you? Are you out of your mind?"
The lawyer continued, "Hua Rongxiao has issued a directive within the legal community: any lawyer who takes on this case will ruin their career. The only reason I am here is that I have the backing of Zong Group. Miss Lan, do you really need me to spell it out for you? Or are you truly unaware of your current predicament? You just claimed that Hua Rongxiao has set you up, but have you considered that he has already cut off your escape routes?"
Lan Qingqing panicked. She had not expected Hua Rongxiao to push her into a corner like this. Her situation was worse than she had imagined. No wonder Mo Kai Liang had approached Tong Le; no wonder the lawyer mentioned Wu Youyou at this moment.
It seemed she truly had no way out. If she did not comply with Tong Le's wishes, she would end up facing the same fate as Ge Miao.
Lan Qingqing fell into a daze, completely losing her earlier confidence.
Seeing the change in her expression, the lawyer pressed on. "Miss Lan, have you thought about it? I can guarantee that if you disclose the source of the illegal drugs, you can make amends and ensure that you leave here as quickly as possible. I will continue to handle this case and prove your innocence."
Lan Qingqing raised her head and looked into the lawyer's eyes. "So if I follow your advice and reveal what you call the source of the drugs, that means Wu Youyou was drugged by me? How could I possibly walk out of here? Do you think I'm a fool?"
The lawyer replied, "You will be able to walk out. Miss Tong's promise is not empty; whether you believe it or not is up to you. I'm just relaying the message."
Lan Qingqing took a deep breath; she was now in a dilemma.
The lawyer reminded her, "Time is running out, Miss Lan."
Her emotions grew more urgent. In any case, she was facing death—she just had to decide whether it would be at Hua Rongxiao's hands or Tong Le's.
She knew how ruthless Hua Rongxiao could be. If Tong Le withdrew from this game, then in the end, it would be her alone against Hua Rongxiao. The outcome for her could very well be being accused of killing Wan Zhang. Even if the police eventually saw through Hua Rongxiao's scheme, her fate would still not be any better.
Because she would become another Ge Miao.
Having thought through all of this, she found her answer: she would choose to stand with Tong Le because Tong Le was willing to save her from this place. Even if in the end Tong Le might still send her back in, at least she wouldn’t be left to die alone in some desolate place without knowing how it happened.
Moreover, as long as she stood with Tong Le, she wouldn’t have to worry about being harmed by Hua Rongxiao; after all, Tong Le had Zong Group behind her. The cost of this choice was admitting to what she had done to Wu Youyou and helping the police uncover the drug trafficking ring.
Lan Qingqing took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. "Alright, I'll speak."
