It was unknown whether the police would reinvestigate the case.
"I'll check with the police station again later," said Lawyer Gu as he looked at Ling Yiran's dark eye circles. "You've been working hard on the case. You probably haven't been sleeping well. I'll give you the day off. Why don't you go home and have a good rest?"
Ling Yiran knew Lawyer Gu had misunderstood her. While it was true that she had not been sleeping well, it was because of Yi Jinli.
It turned out that it was easier to get along with Lawyer Gu than she thought, which was a relief to her.
Now that she had a day off, Ling Yiran planned to visit Sis Zhuo and Lil Yan. After all, it would not be long before they left Shen City.
She did not expect to see a luxury car pulling up in front of the entrance when she reached the ground floor of her office building. A woman dressed in a high-end designer outfit stepped out of the car.
It was Hua Lifang!
Ling Yiran was somewhat surprised. Hua Lifang had now seen her and walked up to her. "Yiran, what a coincidence! I was just about to come looking for you and now I’ve run into you!"
Hua Lifang found out about her cousin working here from Yu Kaihao, the man she saw at the club last time. Ling Yiran was now working as a paralegal here.
'So what if she was once the most promising rookie lawyer? Isn't she just a little assistant now?' Hua Lifang sniggered to herself but continued to put on a show by pretending to display sisterly affection toward Ling Yiran. "Have you got a minute? I want to talk to you about something."
"Is there anything we need to talk about?" retorted Ling Yiran. She and her cousin had been at odds since their childhood. Besides, she had been studying and working in Shen City since then. You could say that they had little interaction with each other, let alone the so-called sisterhood.
"Yes, of course. If you have any business to attend to that might delay your time, I'll explain it to your firm. I'm sure your firm will not be so unkind as to not give you any time," Hua Lifang said smugly. She seemed to think that the firm would surely do so if she asked.
