He looked up, abruptly interrupting Ye Zhenghao, and glanced at his watch. "My lawyer should be here soon. If you have time, Mr. Ye, please sit for a few more minutes."

Although Ye Zhenghao disapproved of his manner, he knew that what he said made sense, and he did have the right to remain silent at this time.

A lawyer, huh? Fine, he'll wait for Jiang Yan's lawyer to arrive. He'll see what tricks he can pull this time!

The Jiang family has a legal team behind them, which has always been helping Jiang Yan Hui with her lawsuits. However, in recent years, there have been many internal conflicts within the Jiang family, so Jiang Yan Sen and Jiang Yan Hui have rarely been involved in lawsuits.

Jiang Yansen has always been low-key and cautious in his actions. Ye Zhenghao spent a lot of time on him, but he just couldn't find any fault with him.

As for Jiang Yanhui, Ye Zhenghao naturally didn't know either, as he was someone who never touched drugs.

So this is the first time such a big thing has happened. You know, many years ago, Young Master Yan beat someone to death just because of a reporter's words. No one dared to say a word at the time. Of course, the Jiang family already had a lot of status back then, and Jiang Yan Hui was still young. Later, Lin Zhen Biao stepped in and made sure that matter was dropped. But this time the situation is different.

Despite numerous eyewitness accounts, the police did indeed find a large quantity of cocaine in Jiang Yan's room.

There are witnesses and physical evidence, and the person who died was in Jiang Yanhui's room, and happened to die right in front of him.

When someone rushed in, Jiang Yan was covered in blood, including on his hands. The dead woman was lying on his bed. Although he didn't look terrified, he was certainly surprised.

This situation is naturally very unfavorable for Jiang Yan Hui at this moment.

Almost all the evidence points to Jiang Yan murdering and hiding drugs, but fortunately, he did not test positive for drug use.

About twenty minutes later, Jiang's lawyer finally arrived in a hurry.

The lawyer who came was Jiang Yan Hui's private lawyer, the renowned lawyer Kang Zhao Yu, who had been Jiang's legal advisor for many years.

Because Ye Zhenghao had previously instructed that Jiang Yan Hui could not be released on bail, he was only there to accompany Jiang Yan Hui to give a statement.

Before giving his statement, he requested to speak with Jiang Yan alone, and the police were not allowed to stop him.

As soon as Kang Zhaoyu entered the room, he saw Jiang Yanhui with her long legs casually propped up on the table, her hands behind her head, swinging back and forth, showing no sign of urgency whatsoever.

Kang Zhaoyu felt a slight sense of relief. Yan Shao's composure suggested he likely had a good grasp of the situation, making things easier for him. Having followed him for so many years, he knew Jiang Yan Hui was different from ordinary people; even in such a situation, he wouldn't panic like others.

This is Jiang Yan Hui. Outsiders may only see his unrestrained and unconventional nature, but only he himself knows how deep the water is in his bones.

"Young Master Yan."

Kang Zhaoyu placed his briefcase on the table and sat down opposite him. "I'm sorry to have troubled you, but bail is not allowed yet. The evidence they have is very unfavorable to you. I'm afraid you'll have to suffer for a few days."

Jiang Yan frowned slightly, a half-smoked cigarette dangling from her lips, her peach blossom eyes squinting from the smoke. "This place is not bad either, it's quiet and peaceful. Just bring me two packs of cigarettes later."

Kang Zhaoyu glanced at the cigarette pack beside him, which was more than half empty. He sighed softly and earnestly advised, "Young Master Yan, you should smoke less of this. Although it's not much, smoking too much is bad for your health..."

"Attorney Kang, when did you become so talkative?"

Jiang Yan flicked her cigarette ash and impatiently interrupted him, "Alright, let's get down to business."

Kang Zhaoyu knew that Yan Shao didn't like others interfering too much in his affairs, so he didn't want to make a fool of himself by saying anything more. He casually replied, "Young Master Yan, this matter is really too strange. I know that people outside don't understand your character, but I know that you would never touch drugs. And how did that dead woman, who was a hostess at the Golden Seat, get into your room?"

Jiang Yan stubbed out her cigarette in the ashtray, blew out a smoke ring, and then said in a low voice, "Someone set this trap for me. I was in a bad mood and wasn't on guard, so I fell into it. As for who did it, I don't have any evidence yet, but I have a pretty good idea. I can't get involved right now since I'm here. The cocaine in the room was definitely planted beforehand. There aren't many people who can get into my room without anyone noticing. If it was a waitress from the Golden Plaza, then she might have been bribed. You should look for clues first. As for the dead woman, I didn't know her at all. She was already waiting for me on the bed when I went in. When I told her to leave, I just pushed her, and she died."

Kang Zhaoyu's eyes twitched slightly. Hearing Jiang Yan's words, he figured he had probably settled everything. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Young Master Yan, I will handle this matter. Don't worry too much. Although the evidence is currently unfavorable to you, it's not without hope. When the police officially file charges against you, I will definitely help you win the case."

In fact, Kang Zhaoyu was well aware that if he couldn't win this lawsuit, then what awaited him was leaving the entertainment industry forever.

What kind of family is the Jiang family?

What kind of person is Jiang Yan Hui?

Anyone with a brain knows there's more to this than meets the eye; someone's trying to frame Young Master Yan. But for a lawyer like him, the wisest thing to do is help Jiang Yan get away with it. As for who the mastermind is, that's not the most important thing right now.

"Does my maternal grandfather know?" Jiang Yan asked casually with a smile.

“Young Master Yan, the matter has escalated so much that Old Master Lin must know about it. He contacted me before, wanting me to bail you out.”

Kang Zhaoyu looked somewhat troubled, "However, bail is not allowed here right now, so I'll have to trouble Young Master Yan."

Jiang Yan shrugged indifferently, "It's okay, they'll take my statement later, then you can go back."

Kang Zhaoyu pondered for a moment before saying, "Young Master Yan, since things are like this now, you don't need to play language with them. Just say that you don't know anything about the whole thing, and that it was already like this when you got to the room. Just tell the truth."

Jiang Yan snorted in response, indicating that she already knew.

When it came time to take the final statement, Ye Zhenghao himself went in. Jiang Yan cooperated this time and gave a statement as instructed by the lawyer. In Ye Zhenghao's view, her statement was simply an excuse, and he was naturally dissatisfied. However, with the lawyer present, he couldn't say much. Now that the evidence was conclusive, all he needed was to file a case and prosecute.

Although he disliked Jiang Yanhui and was convinced that she was responsible for the incident, he wouldn't interfere too much in matters outside his authority.

Seeing that everything was almost done, Kang Zhaoyu gave Jiang Yan a few more instructions and was about to leave when there was a sudden commotion at the police station entrance. Someone rushed in, pulled Ye Zhenghao away, and whispered a few words in his ear. Ye Zhenghao's expression changed slightly, and his brows furrowed. "No."

He refused outright, but the man was in a difficult position. "Boss... this isn't something we can decide. The higher-ups gave the order, and we... have no choice but to comply."

Ye Zhenghao slammed the documents on the table and growled, "What the hell? He's a suspect now, we have the right to detain him! And the evidence is conclusive, I'm going to file a case against him."

"It was an order personally given by the leader, it seems there are people above him... But it's guaranteed that he won't leave City A, and his documents, including his passport, can be confiscated without affecting the filing of a case for prosecution."

Ye Zhenghao took a deep breath; he knew things would turn out this way. Damn it.

What are those people upstairs doing? It's just Jiang Yanhui, isn't it? Since ancient times, even the emperor has been subject to the same laws as commoners. Why is he being released on bail now?

What the hell!

Even though he was unwilling, he understood that he had no way to disobey the orders given directly from above.

He was unwilling, but he still walked up to Jiang Yanhui. Looking at his calm expression, he didn't know why, but he felt a surge of anger. "Jiang Yanhui, you don't need to be so arrogant. I will definitely catch you this time! All the evidence is conclusive. Even if you are released on bail, you won't be able to escape."

Just now, when that person was pulling Ye Zhenghao away, Lawyer Kang, who was next to Jiang Yan Hui, also received a phone call. Jiang Yan Hui naturally knew that it was her grandfather who had helped her contact someone, so the higher-ups had instructed them to let her go back directly.

He didn't really care where he was. He had spent three days at the police station before and nothing really happened. But seeing Ye Zhenghao's humiliated look made him feel quite pleased.

"I haven't done it, what do I have to be afraid of?"

With his hands casually tucked into his pockets, he exuded an air of refined elegance despite his down-on-his-luck appearance. He looked at Ye Zhenghao's resentful face with a half-smile and said in a relaxed tone, "Don't you always say that the law is just? This is perfect, let's test whether it is truly just. I'll be watching."

"Jiang Yan, you—"

"Big brother..."

Almost simultaneously, a voice suddenly rang out from behind, startling both of them.
