011 Lawyer, resolve the situation

Wu Min was slightly surprised. "Jinzhou Law Firm?" she thought. "That's a well-known law firm in Zhonghai, specializing in legal counsel for the wealthy. How could he know that guy? Could it be a mistake?" Wu Min doubted herself.

Han, the lawyer, quickly dispelled Wu Min's lingering hope. "No mistake," he said. "My client is Zhang Ziwen." Then he turned to Zhang Ziwen, who was sitting on a specially made chair. "You're Mr. Zhang Ziwen, right?"

Zhang Ziwen nodded, momentarily confused by the situation.

Seeing Zhang Ziwen handcuffed, Han frowned and said to Wu Min, "Officer, you don't seem very friendly to my client. Why is he still handcuffed in the interrogation room?"

"We suspect he has a serious tendency for violence, just in case," Wu Min replied promptly, showing she was quick on the uptake. This senior inspector seemed to be no slouch.

"Suspect?" Han shook his head. "Right now, I suspect you're mistreating my client, with suspicion of coercion. I reserve the right to file a complaint about this."

Han then continued sternly, "Now, please immediately remove the handcuffs from my client."

Wu Min and Xiao Pingtou exchanged glances. They both thought that the lawyer from Jinzhou Law Firm was indeed sharp-tongued.

Wu Min gestured for Xiao Pingtou to unshackle Zhang Ziwen. Getting complained about by a lawyer would be troublesome. Despite her reluctance, Wu Min didn't want to invite that trouble.

Seeing Wu Min and Xiao Pingtou cooperating, Han nodded and said, "Now, I request bail for my client. From now on, I will answer all questions on behalf of my client."

"What? You want to bail him? Absolutely not," Wu Min refused decisively without even considering it.

"I'm sorry, but because I suspect you're coercing my client, I must bail him," Han's tone was sharp. "Furthermore, if there are deep marks from the handcuffs on my client's wrists, I will take photos as evidence for future court testimony."

"Suit yourself, but I can't let you bail Zhang Ziwen," Wu Min became heated, her beautiful face turning cold, refusing to buy into Han's account.

Unfazed, Han said nonchalantly, "Very well. Since you can't make the decision, I demand to see your superior."

"Seeing my superior won't change anything. If I say he can't be bailed, then he can't," Wu Min's attitude was resolute.

Seeing trouble brewing, Xiao Pingtou knew that offending the lawyer would be a big problem. He gently pulled his beautiful boss's sleeve, signaling her not to act rashly.

Ignoring Wu Min's attitude, Han took out a camera from his briefcase and walked to Zhang Ziwen's side. He started snapping photos of the marks on Zhang Ziwen's wrists. Zhang Ziwen cooperated, deliberately raising his hands high, showing the purple-red blood marks from being handcuffed last night.

At that moment, the iron door creaked again, and a chubby police officer entered. From the flowers on his shoulder, it was clear he was a senior figure.

"Chief Chen," Wu Min and Xiao Pingtou greeted the chubby policeman.

So, he was the chief. Zhang Ziwen wondered if this Han lawyer could handle this Chief Chen.

The chubby policeman nodded at Wu Min and Xiao Pingtou. Seeing Han holding a camera and taking pictures of the marks on Zhang Ziwen's wrists, he chuckled and said, "Oh, Han, why didn't you come to my office? What are you doing, taking photos?" From his tone, it was clear he was familiar with Han.

Han smiled, "I didn't want to, but I'm afraid my client is being mistreated by you, and I, as a lawyer, can't justify that to my client."

"Mistreated?" Chief Chen shook his head and said seriously, "Impossible. There won't be such a thing in the police force under my jurisdiction. It must be a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding?" Han shook his head. "But look at it yourself." He gestured toward Zhang Ziwen's hand, where the bloodstains were obvious and could be seen at a glance.

"Oh, why are you so careless?" Chief Chen reprimanded Wu Min and Xiao Pingtou. "Didn't I always tell you to be careful when handcuffing suspects? How did you manage to leave marks?"

After criticizing his subordinates, Chief Chen turned to Han and said with a smile, "See, I've criticized them. There's no need to continue this misunderstanding, is there?"

Han frowned and pondered, "But I'm still worried if my client isn't bailed."

"Bail? No problem, just bail? I'll process the paperwork for you right away," the chubby police chief replied reluctantly.

Zhang Ziwen, hearing that he could be bailed, felt a secret joy. Although he didn't understand why a lawyer was involved, it was better than staying in this place.

Wu Min, hearing her superior agree to bail out Zhang Ziwen as promised to Han the lawyer, anxiously tried to intervene, "Chief Chen—"

The chubby police chief shook his plump hand, interrupting what she was about to say.

Since the chubby police chief agreed to bail him out, the matter was quickly resolved. Xiao Pingtou released Zhang Ziwen from the specially made chair, and Han the lawyer put away his camera.

Zhang Ziwen, seeing Han the lawyer happily storing away the camera, wondered if there was any film inside it.

Being escorted in and personally escorted out of the police station by the chief, with apologies spoken, Zhang Ziwen thought he was dreaming for a moment. When he saw the angry expression on Wu Min's beautiful face, he couldn't help but tilt his head in a defiant manner, wearing a triumphant expression. This beautiful inspector's anger almost made him bite through his tender lips in frustration.

Han the lawyer's car was nice, a BMW 5 Series. Zhang Ziwen sat comfortably on the plush leather seat, looking at Han the lawyer without saying a word, wearing a look of curiosity.

Han the lawyer smiled at him, "Where do you live? I'll take you home."

Zhang Ziwen gave his address, waiting for the answer to be revealed.

Han the lawyer looked helpless, "Don't look at me like that. Because I promised my client to keep it confidential, it's a basic professional ethics as a lawyer. So, you won't get anything from me." Then he smiled again and said, "But don't worry, my client has no ill intentions towards you, just wants to help you."

Seeing he wouldn't say more, Zhang Ziwen didn't bother to ask again. He would know who the client was sooner or later. It was just a matter of time. In any case, it seemed to have no harm to him, at least he didn't have to stay in the police station now. Thinking this, he closed his eyes to rest peacefully.

There was no conversation on the way, and in less than half an hour, the BMW drove into Xianghe Community. Han the lawyer nudged Zhang Ziwen, who was a bit dazed, sitting in the seat, indicating that they had arrived home.

Returning to his own home, Zhang Ziwen felt a bit of warmth. Although the house was not large and a bit messy, it was still his own space.

Looking at the familiar bed, Zhang Ziwen didn't even bother to take a shower and just threw himself heavily onto the bed. Lying on the soft and comfortable bed, Zhang Ziwen took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath, then exhaled the smoke leisurely, savoring the atmosphere of the bed and smoke to the fullest.

"Ring ring" A annoying phone call interrupted Zhang Ziwen's sweet dreams, waking him up. He opened his sleepy eyes, and the light shining through the window into the room indicated that it was already bright outside.

"Who's there?" Zhang Ziwen's voice was still thick with sleepiness, not fully awake yet.

"You brat! Where were you yesterday? You didn't answer your phone or turn on your mobile," scolded the voice on the other end.

Zhang Ziwen furrowed his brow and held the phone a bit away from his ear. Only his cousin He Li would dare to speak to him like this.

After waiting for He Li to finish her rant, Zhang Ziwen smiled cautiously and asked, "Elder sister, is there something urgent for you to call me so early?"

"Nonsense, if there's nothing, why would I call you? Hurry up and come over."

"If there's something, can't you come over instead? I'm not convenient to go to your place," Zhang Ziwen sounded hesitant.

"You're asking for trouble, come over within an hour, dare not come and see what happens," He Li threatened. As soon as she finished speaking, she hung up with a loud snap.

Zhang Ziwen smiled wryly as he held the handset. He had no choice but to go. When his cousin started to show off, there was no peace for him.

After taking a hasty shower in the bathroom, Zhang Ziwen tidied himself up, then went out and downstairs.
