588: Chapter 588: Personal Lawyer 588: Chapter 588: Personal Lawyer “Ye Xuan, did you know Song Bangyao was murdered last night?”
After receiving the ssage from her secretary, Lin Tong looked at Ye Xuan with shock and surprise after hanging up the call, and asked.
Ye Xuan shrugged and laughed, “What?
Murdered?
Isn’t he a descendant of the virtuous, always doing good deeds?
How could he have been murdered?”
“Eh, how co you don’t seem surprised at all?”
Lin Tong showed a hint of suspicion.
“Why would I be surprised that he got killed?”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, then straightened his face and adopted a righteous tone, “It seems he was just putting on an act, actually a downright bad guy.
His death is like ridding the people of a scourge!
I bet the person who killed him must be a handso, extraordinary hero with dashing looks and a noble presence!”
Lin Tong was speechless, sensing that things were not so simple.
She curiously glanced at Ye Xuan, wondering, “You know, it’s strange.
Right after he transferred the money to last night, he was suddenly murdered.
Could there be a connection…?”
Ye Xuan laughed, “You’re overthinking it.
I see it as purely coincidental.
After all, he’s done so many bad things!
Maybe so chivalrous individual couldn’t stand his arrogance anymore and decided to dispense justice on behalf of the people.”
Looking at Ye Xuan’s smiling face, Lin Tong furrowed her brows in thought.
Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she looked at Ye Xuan in astonishnt, asking, “Where were you when I called you last night?”
“Didn’t I tell you?
I was out getting a late-night snack.”
Ye Xuan leaned back on the sofa, speaking in a nonchalant manner.
“A late-night snack?
What a coincidence.”
Lin Tong stared intently at Ye Xuan, her eyes filled with a scrutinizing light and her face painted with wisdom.
“Wife, you’re not suspecting of killing him, are you?”
Ye Xuan curled his lips, pointing to his own nose, and said seriously, “I am a model citizen.
How could I commit murder?
That would be beneath .”
“Really…”
Lin Tong fixed her gaze on Ye Xuan, feeling even more suspicious.
The more he spoke like this, the more suspicious she beca!
Because, everything he was saying was full of self-praise.
Knowing him as she did, there was a very high chance he was the one behind it.
Only for so reason, he wasn’t admitting it.
Click!
Just as Lin Tong was about to say sothing else, the door to the office was suddenly pushed open, and several policen walked in.
“Ms.
Lin, hello, I am a detective from the East Sea Tianhe District police station.
My na is Teng Guanghui!
We suspect that you are involved in a murder case that occurred last night, and we need you to co back with us for further investigation.”
The leading middle-aged policeman, who seed like a squad leader, greeted her solemnly with a stern expression.
His deanor was sowhat polite but his tone left no room for question!
Upon hearing this, Lin Tong’s brows furrowed, and she imdiately thought that the police coming for her at this ti might be related to the money Song Bangyao transferred to her last night.
After all, right after Song Bangyao had transferred the money, he had been killed quickly, it was reasonable for the police to suspect her!
However, since she had nothing to do with the incident, Lin Tong wasn’t afraid of being investigated.
After a mont of thought, she was ready to follow the policen.
But just then, Ye Xuan, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up, glanced at the policen, and said to the leading officer, “Good day, officer!
I am Ms.
Lin’s personal lawyer.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask , and I will answer on Ms.
Lin’s behalf.”
Personal lawyer?
Lin Tong imdiately blinked in confusion, unsure of what Ye Xuan was up to, but seeing his serious deanor, it seed quite believable.
Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the policen paused, regarding him with expressions full of suspicion, their eyes revealing a hint of curiosity.
With that casual attire of yours, isn’t it too laid-back?
Showing up for work in flip-flops, you don’t look like a private lawyer at all.
“Kid, police are working on a case here, so please don’t get in the way!
Stay out of it and leave – do it quickly!”
One of the younger male police officers waved his hand at Ye Xuan, speaking impatiently.
With the way you’re dressed, if you’re a private lawyer, then I could be a judge too!
“Who said I can’t be a private lawyer?” Ye Xuan calmly retorted.
Hearing this, the young officer was about to respond when he was stopped by the middle-aged police officer leading the group, Teng Guanghui, who looked Ye Xuan up and down.
Although the attire did indeed not fit the stereotype of a legal professional, then again, these days, the more prominent soone’s status, the more they liked to keep a low profile!
Perhaps he just liked to dress casually.
“Sir, even if you are a private lawyer, everything has to follow proper procedures.
CEO Lin is still…”
At this point, Teng Guanghui suddenly paused, looking carefully at Ye Xuan and sharply narrowing his eyes before blurting out:
“Are you… Mr.
Ye Xuan?
What are you doing here?”
Hmm?
Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow, puzzled.
“You know ?”
Seeing Ye Xuan acknowledge himself, respect imdiately flashed in Teng Guanghui’s eyes, and his face broke into a smile as he said, “Mr.
Ye, hello, I’m Teng Guanghui, leader of the Criminal Police Squad from Tianhe District Branch.
I saw you before when I was with Chief Zheng.”
Chief Zheng?
Could it be Zheng Xiaobo’s father?
“I don’t rember.”
Ye Xuan shook his head; he indeed had no recollection.
“Ha-ha, Mr.
Ye, last ti when Mayor Jiang invited you to treat Elder Jiang, I was following Chief Zheng and saw you then.”
Hearing Ye Xuan say he didn’t rember, Teng Guanghui did not get angry; instead, he spoke with a full-faced smile.
Speaking of this incident, he showed a very respectful expression.
When Ye Xuan was asked to the hospital, many high-profile individuals had been in the corridor, visiting Elder Jiang, and Teng Guanghui had been trailing behind Zheng Guofeng.
Even Zheng Guofeng, the chief of the Tianhe District Branch, could only stand in a corner of the hallway, let alone Teng Guanghui!
It was normal that Ye Xuan hadn’t noticed him.
However, Teng Guanghui had a very deep impression of Ye Xuan.
This was soone that even the Jiang Family considered a distinguished guest, personally invited by Jiang Jianguo to treat Elder Jiang.
Such an influential person, how could he, a re squad leader, afford to offend?
Even his direct superior, the chief of the Tianhe District Branch, Zheng Guofeng, had to look up to him!
But from what he saw last ti, shouldn’t Ye Xuan be a doctor?
Why was he in the Eastern Group CEO’s office, and why did he claim to be Lin Tong’s private lawyer?
What was this situation?
Teng Guanghui was full of doubts, but he didn’t dare ask.
“Oh.”
In response to Teng Guanghui’s introduction, Ye Xuan simply uttered an “Oh.”
Seeming to notice his confusion, Ye Xuan gave a faint smile and told Teng Guanghui, “I work at the Eastern Group.
Being a doctor is just my secondary occupation.
Now, if you have any business with CEO Lin, you can tell .”
Hearing Ye Xuan put it this way, Teng Guanghui’s doubts were dispelled.
However, since Ye Xuan had spoken up, he didn’t dare insist on taking Lin Tong away.
He rely asked her a few questions in person and had his subordinates take notes.
After all was done, Teng Guanghui respectfully bid Ye Xuan farewell and left the Eastern Group.
