Chapter 7: The Beautiful Female Lawyer

  Liu Yong's gunshot last night was heard by many people, and some of them opened their windows or came out to see what happened. With a large number of police rushing to the villa area to capture Ye Feng, the impact was huge, and Ye Feng believed that his colleagues must have known that he had been taken away.

  Ye Feng was confident that his usual relationship with his workmates was very good, so he could be sure that his workmates would definitely think of a way to come to the police station to find him. If they couldn't get in, they might seek help from the media, after all, TV news reports were common, and if they wanted to make a big impact or seek social forces' help, the best method was to seek media assistance.

  What moved and delighted Ye Feng was that, shortly after he was dragged into the interrogation room and before the police had a chance to lay hands on him again, his fellow workers arrived.

  They didn't seek help from the media, but they knew how to make a scene. From a police officer who hastily walked into the interrogation room with a somewhat tense expression, Ye Feng learned that his coworkers were strongly demanding to see him. If the police refused, the coworkers would go to the newspaper, TV station, and reporters, and if they still couldn't see him, they would block the entrance of the police station and refuse to leave.

  The police finally compromised, but on condition that only one worker could come in to see Ye Feng.

  With Ye Feng's limited understanding of criminal law, he roughly knew that during the investigation and interrogation stage, it was absolutely not allowed for anyone to meet with the suspect, in order to avoid collusion. Therefore, even if Liu Yong's coworkers found media help, it would be useless. However, Ye Feng guessed that the reason why the police agreed to the coworkers' "unreasonable" request was probably because Liu Yong used his power to give them a green light.

  Apart from Liu Yong, there will absolutely be no other police officer who would pay attention to everything about him at all times.

  Why did Liu Yong do this, Ye Feng after all is not him, so it's impossible to understand what he was thinking, Liu Yong agreed to let his colleagues see him in violation of legal procedures, if exposed, may still have to take responsibility for it. Ye Feng guessed that Liu Yong might be certain that this time he would be doomed and undoubtedly die, so perhaps out of pity for him, or perhaps seeking some kind of moral balance in framing and slandering him with such a heinous crime, or perhaps for other reasons unknown to him.

  After being caught by the police, Liu Yong had never shown up in front of Ye Feng again. Ye Feng thought that Liu Yong was not disdainful of seeing him, but rather dared not to see him.

  Liu Yong is after all a human being, and when he did such an extremely sinful and inhumane thing, his conscience and morality would not reproach him. Ye Feng didn't know, but what Ye Feng could be sure of was that Liu Yong must not have felt very at peace with himself, so perhaps it was to ease his own mind a little bit that Liu Yong gave this "doomed" person an opportunity.

  Similarly, Ye Feng also understood that Liu Yong had instructed people to beat him, subject him to severe torture and forced confession, making him yield to the pressure, causing his spirit to collapse. The purpose was to make him confess as soon as possible, so that he could be sentenced early, executed early, and die early. Only then could Liu Yong's heart truly be at peace.

  In fact, this should be Liu Yong's extremely guilty conscience.

  Anyway, Ye Feng successfully met his colleague.

  This worker is not a fellow villager of Ye Feng, but he is also from Hebei Province. In daily life, his relationship with Ye Feng is the best.

  His name is Liu Tiezhu, and Ye Feng and his colleagues usually call him Zhu Zi. He is two years older than Ye Feng and has already become the father of a two-year-old child. The reason he gets along best with Ye Feng is that he is very eager to learn. After hearing that Ye Feng almost became a university student at a famous university, he often finds Ye Feng after work and asks him to teach him some basic knowledge, such as language, mathematics, science, and geography. He can't learn anything too complicated, and the level of primary school one or two is enough.

  Yefeng once asked him: "Zhuzi, why are you so eager to learn? At your age, what's the use of learning all this?"

  He smiled foolishly and replied to Ye Feng: "I want to learn more knowledge because I don't want our two kids to look down on me, nor do I want to lose face in front of them all the time. Every year when we go back home for Chinese New Year, the kids would bring their books and ask me questions, but I wouldn't know anything, not even recognizing a few big characters. Later on, they simply stopped asking me. I'm not afraid of others laughing at me, but I'm afraid of our two kids laughing at me."

  From then on, whenever he asked Ye Feng, Ye Feng would teach him seriously, no matter how slow he learned, and Ye Feng would never laugh at him.

  Seeing Zhu, because there were police watching on the side, Ye Feng said in his hometown dialect: "Zhu, I am being framed and slandered. Help me find someone to write a lawsuit and entrust him with my case. If money is needed, you can lend it to me first."

  Zhuzi is from Hebei Province and often hangs out with Yefeng, so he can understand Yefeng's dialect.

  It's unclear whether the police can understand dialects or not, but at least this way they will sound more tiring.

  Zhu Zi's eyes were slightly red, and he nodded vigorously, saying: "Alright, don't worry about it, brother. Is there anything else you want me to do?"

  Ye Feng thought for a moment, then said: "Tell the workers, absolutely do not inform my family about this matter." In fact, Ye Feng also understood that the police would eventually notify his construction site boss and his family, even if they didn't notify them now because of Liu Yong's intervention. However, after going to court, they would definitely be notified. Nevertheless, Ye Feng still didn't want his coworkers to tell his parents about this in advance.

  For Ye Feng, it's better if his parents find out about this a day later, so they can suffer less torment and blow for one more day.

  Zhu Zi nodded again, looking at Ye Feng, and the tears in his eyes finally flowed down.

  Ye Feng squeezed his hand and smiled: "Alright, don't worry about me, you go back and tell everyone not to come here again, it's more trouble if they make a fuss."

  Zhu Zi squeezed Ye Feng's hand tightly, glanced at the police officer beside him, wiped away his tears and said: "Brother, I and a group of fellow workers all believe in you, you're absolutely not that kind of person."

  After saying this sentence, Zhu Zi left.

  A surge of warmth suddenly welled up in Ye Feng's heart, and apart from his parents, these fellow workers who had shared joys and sorrows with him for many years were now his greatest spiritual strength and pillar.

  Perhaps because of the disturbance caused by Zhu and others, the police did not continue to "interrogate" Ye Feng, but instead sent him back to the temporary detention room in the police station, and also gave Ye Feng two steamed buns and a bowl of cold porridge.

  For the rest of the day, except for delivering a cold meal to Ye Feng in the evening, the police did not enter the detention room again. Ye Feng was happy and quiet, just in time to seize the opportunity to collect souls.

  But by the next afternoon, Ye Feng had only collected six more souls, bringing the total to eleven.

  For two consecutive nights, Ye Feng had not closed his eyes, and in order to gather the Soul Essence, he remained highly concentrated, even after cultivating his body and refining his physique, which was far stronger than that of ordinary people. At this moment, he still felt tired and weak.

  Just as Ye Feng was about to rest his eyes, the police officer who had kicked him before came again. The police officer handcuffed and shackled Ye Feng, then punched him hard in the chest, cursing: "Damn you, you little bastard really has some ability, someone actually hired a lawyer for you, and it's a pretty famous female lawyer too. Damn it, I'm telling you, even with a lawyer you're dead meat, it's just a matter of sooner or later, don't have any illusions, you little bastard."

  Ye Feng ignored him, in Ye Feng's heart, apart from Liu Yong and Liu Mei Mei, this policeman had already become his third key target for revenge. To use his words from earlier, he would definitely take revenge on these three people, it was just a matter of sooner or later.

  The police took Ye Feng to a room similar to a living room and left, glancing at Ye Feng fiercely before leaving.

  There were only two people in the room, a young woman and a middle-aged man.

  The young woman looked to be about 27 or 28 years old, with a beautiful appearance, slender figure and elegant temperament. In every aspect, she was several notches above Liu Meimei.

  A middle-aged man wearing a pair of square-framed glasses held a black briefcase in his hand, standing behind the woman with a serious expression, not uttering a word.

  The girl looked at Ye Feng and smiled, saying: "You must be Ye Feng, please sit down."

  Her voice is very pleasant to listen to, with a moderate tone and pace, giving people a soft and gentle feeling.

  Ever since the incident with Liu Meimei, Ye Feng's heart had been filled with an inexplicable sense of resistance towards women, especially beautiful ones. He would no longer be as startled and timid as he was when he first met Liu Meimei. Adding to that, the pain and injustice of being framed and wronged, as well as his experiences in the Jiuxing Pearl space, Ye Feng's mind had matured a great deal in just two short days. Facing this stunningly beautiful female lawyer, apart from the initial moment of astonishment, his mindset had become very calm.

  Ye Feng sat upright on a stool in front of the long table, facing the woman, staring directly into her eyes, waiting for her to speak first.
