He broke his vows for her, and a tycoon descended to earth for love.

Chapter 314 The Right Lawyer

Xia Ran has always been straightforward and doesn't like being told what to do. Jiang Yan's tone naturally displeased her, but after thinking about it, she realized he was doing it for Si Yi's sake, so she held back. She took out a small transparent bag from her pocket, inside which lay a small silver needle. She shook the bag, "I never thought you, Young Master Yan, could be so flustered. Look at this."

Jiang Yan looked closely, still puzzled. "What is this?" It looked a bit like a needle, but thinner and longer.

Ye Zhenghao happened to come out from inside. As soon as he saw what Xia Ran was holding, he walked closer and said, "This should be a needle, right? But it seems to be a bit longer and much thinner than a regular needle. It looks a bit like an acupuncture needle."

Xia Ran smiled slightly, snapped her fingers, and handed the item to Ye Zhenghao. "It is indeed an acupuncture needle. This is the only slightly unusual thing I found on the female victim's body. It's on her waist, but I don't know if there's anything on it, such as poison or other anesthetics. So I'd like Brother Ye to take it to the forensic department for testing."

Unexpectedly, such an important discovery was made. Ye Zhenghao took the needle, his handsome face beaming with joy. "That's great! I'll have the people over there test it right away. I'll let you know as soon as there's any news. Xia Ran, thank you."

"Don't mention it. I'd like to see Siyi. Is now a convenient time?"

"It's not very convenient." Ye Zhenghao put the item into his pocket, glanced at Jiang Yanhui, and said, "The people here have all been deliberately arranged. Siyi can't be released on bail or see anyone. I just spoke with the people inside. Jiang Yanhui, why don't you go in and check on her?"

Jiang Yanhui had been eager to go in and see Siyi for a long time. After hearing what Ye Zhenghao said, he didn't say much. He thanked Xia Ran, which was quite rare, and then turned around and walked into the police station.

After Jiang Yan left, Xia Ran asked Ye Zhenghao, "Is this case very difficult?"

Ye Zhenghao didn't hide anything and nodded, "The case itself isn't difficult; what's difficult is the person behind it. We all believe Siyi is innocent because someone is determined to kill her. His power is too great, especially this time."

Xia Ran raised an eyebrow. "So? Brother Ye, you've given in?"

"What a joke! Of course I will not compromise! I have never believed that evil forces can cover up the truth. I will definitely help Siyi get off the hook."

"Getting acquitted isn't something you can do. Have you hired a lawyer?"

Xia Ran's words were concise yet to the point. Her words gave Ye Zhenghao a headache again. He rubbed his forehead and said helplessly, "I have contacted a lot of lawyers, but none of them are willing to take this case."

“Brother Ye, how about I give you a clue? I believe there is someone in this world who is just like me, willing to go through fire and water to help Siyi and not want anything to happen to her. And he happens to be a lawyer. Why don’t you go find him?”

Ye Zhenghao frowned, and within two seconds he knew who Xia Ran was talking about. "You mean, Zheng Muyan?"

Xia Ran nodded.

"Do you think I haven't tried to contact him? But we haven't heard from him in a long time. I'll try my best to reach him."

"Alright, I'll head back now. I'll go through the whole case from beginning to end, and I'll let you know if I make any new discoveries." Xia Ran pointed to his pocket and reminded him, "Remember to get this tested as soon as possible; I'm waiting for the results."

"it is good."

The sun had already set, but there were still many people running and playing on the beach.

The sounds of children playing, adults shouting, and lovers whispering sweet nothings... everything was so beautiful, yet amidst this beautiful scene, a lonely figure stood there, ramrod straight.

The tall man stood in the sunset, one hand in his pocket, the orange sunlight casting a golden glow on him. He wore a white shirt and matching trousers, one hand in his pocket, the other holding a newspaper.

The newspaper was crumpled and deformed by his grip, but the distorted image still showed a face he couldn't forget, a face he had been longing for day and night, along with the blatant and eye-catching headlines.

—Something still happened…

What were his feelings when he left? He said he hoped she would be happy and safe... But now that she's in trouble, can he still remain indifferent? Hide in this place and refuse to see anyone?

He gripped the newspaper tighter and tighter, and after standing there for who knows how long, he finally took out his phone.

I turned on my phone and dialed the number I hadn't contacted in a long time.

The phone was answered after two rings. It was an old man's voice on the other end, and even through the phone, you could hear a hint of excitement in his voice. "You finally contacted me. So, you've made up your mind?"

The man's eyes were deep, his thin lips pressed tightly together. After a moment, he responded in a low voice, "I've thought it through. I'll tell you what you want to know, but you have to promise to do something for me first."

"Heh, I know exactly what you want me to do." The old man on the other end of the phone chuckled, his tone tinged with disappointment. "You've been missing for almost a month, without contacting your family. But as soon as that woman got into trouble, I knew you wouldn't be able to hold back. So I waited for you to call me yourself, and sure enough, you couldn't hold on for more than three days. Is she really that important to you? There are plenty of men who want to be with her right now. Even if you showed up, she might not fall into your arms. Is a woman like that worth exchanging something so important for me?"

“I’m not making an exchange.” The man’s words were concise, yet each one was like a nail, piercing straight into the heart of the person on the other end of the phone. “Father, do you know why Mother never made me resent you? Because she said she loved you and never blamed you from beginning to end, so I can’t blame you either. No matter what you did to me, no matter what you did to Mother, I won’t blame you. My personality is like Mother’s.”

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

After a moment, the man spoke again, "Father, you have granted my request. I will return to S City tomorrow."

Another deathly silence followed. After a long while, the aged voice slowly said, "It's good that you've thought it through. You know, I once said that as long as you tell me where your mother is, I will agree to anything you ask. However, this opportunity will only come once. You should think it through carefully."

*****

Jiang Yan stood at the door for a long time, suppressing the chill emanating from her, before finally pushing the door open and going inside.

Siyi was slumped over the table, looking haggard. Jiang Yan, who was standing at the door, turned around and his expression darkened. He tightened his grip on the doorknob, closed the door, and strode over. Without saying a word, he picked Siyi up from the chair, his eyes full of heartache. "Siyi, how are you?"

She had been running a fever for most of the night, and was now somewhat delirious, her whole body burning hot. Jiang Yan felt it the moment his hands touched her body. The anger he had managed to suppress instantly surged, and he no longer cared about anything else. He kicked the door and roared, "Hey, you outside, open the door for me!"

The guards outside were startled by the commotion inside and quickly pushed open the door. Jiang Yan, her face grim, picked up Si Yi and started walking out. A policeman hurriedly followed, "Hey, what are you doing? We let you in to see the suspect, not to take her away. Put her down right now—"

Before she could finish speaking, the man in front of her kicked her. Jiang Yan, holding the delirious Si Yi, kicked the man behind her who was still babbling incessantly. He had lost all reason and said viciously, "Who the hell dares to stop me again? I'll take his head off right now and see if I dare!"

He exuded a murderous aura, and his kick was quite powerful. The young police officer was knocked to the ground, clutching his chest and wincing in pain, too weak to say anything more. Jiang Yan carried Siyi out, where there were naturally more police officers at the door. Seeing the situation, some tried to stop them, but Jiang Yan only called out Liu Qi's name, and his men immediately followed them in.

The conflict that had just been brought under control was reignited. Ye Zhenghao was still at the door when he rushed in and saw Siyi lying in Jiang Yanhui's arms, barely alive. He was naturally heartbroken and, without bothering to stop Jiang Yanhui, angrily questioned them, "How could you torture her like this?"

"...She...that...she was fine yesterday."

Perhaps realizing that the situation was really bad, the so-called law enforcement officers spoke with some lack of confidence.

Jiang Yan didn't bother arguing with them. He simply carried Siyi and quickly walked out of the police station. Just as he was about to get into the car, someone chased after him again, saying, "He can't take this suspect away. There are orders from above..."

"Of course he can take her away. Can't you tell she needs a doctor right now?" Ye Zhenghao stopped the man with a stern face. After tormenting his precious sister like this, he couldn't hold back any longer. He said directly, "Who gave the order? Take me to see him now. I'll take full responsibility for whatever happens."
