Yama Reborn

Chapter 22: The Brooch

Old Sun was very efficient. This wasn’t to say Old Sun was better at getting things done than Chen Nuo. After all, being an adult with a respectable, legitimate profession, he was naturally more convincing in many matters than a seventeen-year-old high school student would be.

The next day, Old Sun replied to Chen Nuo. He said he had consulted a lawyer classmate, then contacted Instructor Zhang at the prison, and arranged for a lawyer to seek authorization from Chen Nuo’s mother.

Then, he contacted the Gu Family by phone. Chen Nuo didn’t know what was said, but afterward, Old Sun severely lectured him, blaming him for acting too recklessly.

However, Old Sun didn’t say Chen Nuo was wrong for hitting someone—only that he was too reckless.

Hmm, Chen Nuo mused, does that mean... I shouldn’t have hit them openly?

"The paperwork can be processed, but you need to meet and talk with Officer Liu from the sub-district office!" Old Sun had said. "She was very diligent before, and this kind of custody transfer requires procedural approval from the sub-district’s Women’s Federation. Take some gifts when you visit her home. She went to a lot of trouble for you before, even accompanying you during the New Year. You should go to her place to handle the matter and express your gratitude. It’s the proper thing to do... This is all about maintaining good relations."

After hanging up, Chen Nuo did as Old Sun suggested.

He bought some New Year’s gifts and, following the address, went to Officer Liu’s home that evening.

He knocked on the door.

CLACK.

The security door opened. Officer Liu saw Chen Nuo and smiled. "Chen? You’re here quickly. Come in, come in."
