Lai Wenyan asked again, "What about those from the provinces?"
Although most good lawyers are in the Capital, at a time like this, it's not feasible to be picky. If no lawyer defends Lai Shengxia, it's as good as giving up.
"There are some in the provinces," the voice of an old friend came through the receiver, "I'll call around and if someone is willing to take the case, I'll get back to you."
Meanwhile, Ouyang Qian received a call back from her assistant.
Today, with such an unexpected event, many things required secretarial handling.
Ouyang Qian asked her assistant to contact the secretary and have them come to the police station as soon as possible. She was told the secretary's phone was off and their whereabouts unknown.
"What about their parents' house?"
"Called, and they said they haven't returned home."
Hearing this, Ouyang Qian was somewhat anxious but could do nothing.
After she hung up, Lai Wenyan also ended his call.
