Luo Jialan was driving on the highway, on her way home.
Several police cars with flashing lights caught up from behind and forced her car to stop by the side of the road.
"What's wrong? We're not speeding, are we? "Luo Jialan was baffled and asked the driver in front of her. The driver said that it was indeed within the speed limit.
A policeman knocked on the window, showed her his ID, and motioned for her to get out of the car. He said, "Ms. Luo Jialan?"
She nodded. "It's me. What's your name? Which police district is he from? I wasn't speeding. Why did you stop my car? I want to lodge a complaint! "
The policeman shook his head helplessly and said, "Ms. Luo Jialan, we just received a report that you are suspected of being involved in a personal injury case. Please go back and assist us in the investigation."
"What?! Are you looking for the wrong person? How could I have anything to do with a personal injury case?! "Luo Jialan was furious. Just as she was about to say" I want to find my lawyer ", she suddenly thought of Cai Shengnan …
Just now, she was flustered and exasperated, so she did hit Cai Shengnan.
In fact, she only wanted to slap her in the face at first, but Cai Shengnan didn't fight back, so the more she hit her, the more excited she became.
She thought that Cai Shengnan was in the wrong, so she let her hit and scold her …
Luo Jialan's eyes flickered and she suddenly asked, "Who called the police? I have the right to know who is falsely accusing me! "
"I don't know if it's a false accusation. It was your lawyer, Cai Shengnan, who called the police. She has already gone to the hospital to have her injuries examined. Come back with us first to record a statement. "
"It's really her?! You don't know, she … "
Luo Jialan suddenly couldn't continue. How was she going to tell the police?
Was it because she forced Cai Shengnan to use perjury to frame someone else and was rejected by Cai Shengnan, so she became angry out of humiliation and beat her up?
But then again, Cai Shengnan didn't look like someone who would compromise.
Luo Jialan's face was wooden. She finally understood that she had been tricked by Cai Shengnan …
"Wait a minute, I need to call my lawyer." Luo Jialan took out her phone.
The police officer next to him teased, "Your lawyer? Didn't you just put your lawyer in the hospital? "
"I've already fired her. I have a new lawyer, "Luo Jialan said as she found a name on her phone and immediately dialed it.
"Lawyer Jin? Would it be possible for you to come here? I need a lawyer right now. Yes, I'm Luo Jialan. Advance payment? Okay, no problem, I'll transfer it to you right away. "Without saying anything, Luo Jialan transferred 100,000 yuan to Jin Wanyi's law firm bank account.
Compared to Cai Shengnan, Jin Wanyi really had a conscience.
After receiving the money, the contract would be established.
The formal agency contract could be signed later.
Jin Wanyi immediately drove to the police station that Luo Jialan mentioned.
At this time, Luo Jialan had already been brought to the police station.
She refused to speak until her lawyer arrived.
When Jin Wanyi came in, she saw Luo Jialan curled up on a hardwood chair in the corner with a pale face.
Jin Wanyi had met Luo Jialan once before. She knew that her name was Huo Jialan, but she didn't know why she suddenly changed her name to Luo Jialan.
"Miss Luo, what can I do for you?" Jin Wanyi smiled and sat next to Luo Jialan.
Luo Jialan told her the whole story and emphasized with a bitter face, "I was just angry. She suddenly let go and didn't want to be my lawyer anymore. I was so angry … so I patted her twice, but she actually called the police …"
Jin Wanyi was very familiar with the name Cai Shengnan.
When she found out that Luo Jialan had actually hit Cai Shengnan, Jin Wanyi's expression immediately changed.
It wasn't that she couldn't defend Luo Jialan, but that Luo Jialan had hit a lawyer, which had offended almost all the lawyers.
Also, Cai Shengnan had a good reputation, and she was especially good at socializing. She was quite popular among the major law firms in the capital.
Her father was also an important figure in the American legal world.
With such an identity, status, and profession, Luo Jialan still dared to hit her. Not only did she dare to hit her, but she also didn't care after hitting her. This was too much.
Jin Wanyi's heart skipped a beat, and she said, "Miss Luo, don't get agitated. I'll call lawyer Cai and ask him what's going on."
Jin Wanyi was now a big lawyer, and she was no longer the little lawyer who had a sense of justice that she used to be.
She had learned to be cautious, to compromise, and to see through the appearance to see the essence.
She asked for Cai Shengnan's number from Luo Jialan, walked to a corner of the room, and began to call Cai Shengnan.
The phone rang several times before Cai Shengnan picked it up.
It was an unfamiliar number.
Cai Shengnan asked weakly, "May I know who this is?"
Jin Wanyi paused, then said with a smile, "Are you lawyer Cai Shengnan? I'm Jin Wanyi, and I'm also a lawyer. Miss Luo Jialan wants me to be her lawyer. I'd like to ask, how are your injuries? "
Cai Shengnan's voice turned cold. "I just finished examining the injuries. They've already reached the scope of minor injuries stipulated in the criminal law. If that's what you want to know. "
The requirements for minor injuries stipulated in the criminal law were actually very strict. The bruises and swelling caused by ordinary beatings were actually not considered minor injuries.
There were strict legal standards for determining minor injuries.
"Huh?! Is it really that serious?! "Jin Wanyi was stunned." They were all … all beaten by Miss Luo? "
Cai Shengnan grunted in agreement and sent the video of Luo Jialan hitting her to Jin Wanyi. Then, she scanned the doctor's injury report for her.
Jin Wanyi saw such a line on the doctor's injury report at a glance.
"… The cumulative length of the blunt force wound on the scalp is six centimeters."
This was the injury that Cai Shengnan had suffered when she was pushed by Luo Jialan on the corner of the desk.
Based on this alone, the criminal law stipulated a minor injury was more than enough.
The video of the beating, the doctor's injury report, and Cai Shengnan and her father Cai Sumin's status in the legal world determined that Luo Jialan wouldn't be able to find a decent person to represent her.
Jin Wanyi immediately returned the advance payment of 100,000 yuan to Luo Jialan and said, "Miss Luo, I can't defend your case. I'm sorry, I'll be leaving first. "
It wasn't just Jin Wanyi. All the top lawyers in the capital's legal world avoided her.
Luo Jialan stayed at the police station for a whole day and made countless phone calls, but she couldn't find anyone who was willing to represent her.
Even if she offered a high price, no one was willing to stand up for her.
She didn't know that during that day, the video of her beating up her lawyer had already spread all over the Internet.
Lawyers all over the country were filled with righteous indignation. They all came out to express their stance that they would never defend such a scum who beat up her lawyer!
This way, even some people who were tempted by the high lawyer fees didn't dare to take on the case.
Luo Jialan had no choice but to defend herself.
However, she made many mistakes in front of the well-trained police officers, and she didn't dare to tell them the real reason why she beat up Cai Shengnan. Therefore, the prosecutor's office quickly filed a case again to charge her with intentional bodily harm.
At this time, the prosecutor's office discovered that Luo Jialan already had a case on her, which was the crime of intentional homicide against Song Jinning. It was prosecuted by another prosecutor's office and had already been tried in court once.
This was another crime committed during the interrogation. It was obvious that this suspect had a criminal record of intentional bodily harm.
The court that was trying Song Jinning's case didn't receive any new evidence within the stipulated time. They only knew that she had beaten up her lawyer again, so they didn't plan to wait any longer and were about to issue the verdict of the first trial.
Luo Jialan was locked up in the detention center for 48 hours. After paying a sum of bail, she was finally able to go home.
She didn't know how she had gotten to this point.
Sitting in the car, she covered her face and cried bitterly. She was in a state of panic.
Was she going to lose all of this?
Not only her huge wealth, but also her personal freedom?!
Why wouldn't these people let her go?
Like Gu Nianzhi, she was an orphan with no parents. Why would Huo Shaoheng rather have Gu Nianzhi than her?!
She at least had the huge trust fund left behind by Huo Guanyuan. Although it wasn't more than Huo Shaoheng's wealth, who would complain about having more money?
Luo Jialan felt that the whole world had let her down.
In despair, she picked up her phone and desperately called the strange number that Yamaguchi Aiko had left behind. She sent a text message to tell her what had happened to her. She told her that she had almost been forced into a desperate situation, and that Gu Nianzhi was about to get engaged to Huo Shaoheng..
Luo Jialan actually treated this number as a tree hole.
All the things that she couldn't say in front of others were all poured into that number.
After her hysterical outburst, she finally felt better.
When she arrived at the West Mountain Villa, she got out of the car with a straight face and returned to her home.
The first thing she did when she got home was to take a shower and change her clothes.
Coming out of the bathroom, Luo Jialan habitually picked up her phone and glanced at it. Suddenly, her breathing stopped.
The four-digit number that she had been unable to get through had actually replied to her text message!
She quickly swiped open her phone and entered the text message to read it carefully.
As expected, Yamaguchi Aiko hadn't left her in the lurch!
The first text message: [Gu Nianzhi has been looking for the whereabouts of her father, Gu Xiangwen.]
The second text message: [I'll tell you where Gu Xiangwen is. You can use this information to exchange for personal freedom from prosecution with her.]
The third text message: [Only then will they see clearly that Gu Nianzhi is' using her public office for personal gain '.]
