Chapter 81: Can You Release the Person Now?
After the leader hurried out, someone was quickly brought in. He was in a suit and leather shoes, tall and straight, with a refined yet slightly thin face wearing rimless glasses. The eyes behind those lenses casually narrowed but emitted a piercing sharpness as if they could see right through people’s hearts.
"Lawyer Nan, is that you?!" The several police officers present obviously recognized him. However, they had only heard of Nan Zhan’s name and had never seen him in person. A lawyer of his caliber only took on one or two major cases a year and spent most of his time traveling, rarely appearing in the public eye.
Unexpectedly, this elusive figure would appear in a small police station, and it seemed he was here for this female university student without any background.
Nan Zhan looked toward Gu Qili, who was already somewhat incoherent, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Her condition didn’t look good. She was pale, sweat dampening the few strands of hair on her forehead. She might collapse within a minute, but even so, he noticed her tightly clenched fists with dried blood on her palm—was she using pain to forcibly maintain her sanity?
"I’ve completed the bail procedures, Chief Li, can we release her now?" Although it was phrased as a question, there was no room for negotiation—it was clearly a direct pick-up.
In the presence of a grand lawyer, everything proceeded according to the law. All necessary procedures and steps had already been perfectly handled. Naturally, Chief Li had no choice but to release her and moreover, after such astute reasoning by him, it must be a significant figure who could engage Nan Zhan. This seemingly fragile girl must have an unimaginable powerful backing behind her.
Considering this, Chief Li promptly and willingly released her, and those police officers also knew enough to step aside, watching the noble and haughty man before them with admiration.
