I really don't want to be an official if I transmigrate into Qi Tongwei's life.

Chapter 432 Refusing Bail Despite Family Ties

With a loud slap, Qi Tongwei slapped himself hard across the face. He thought it was a mosquito. Damn it, he'd developed a conditioned reflex to mosquitoes from the mountains. He was now competing with Chen Wensheng in terms of willpower; whoever couldn't hold back would lose.

Ye Xinghai couldn't just wait idly. He had already planned a bright future for his son: first, to study abroad, and then he would bring the money he earned in China to immigrate with the whole family.

Although he and Ye Xingguo are brothers, throughout history, power can one day become a deadly poison. Only money is real. In free America, having money is paradise.

In the detention cell, Ye Lang became very dejected. Even his uncle, the director of the Public Security Bureau, didn't get him out immediately, which made him question the meaning of life.

Ye Xinghai visited Ye Lang with his lawyer. He was heartbroken to see his son. His son had never suffered such humiliation since childhood. He couldn't help but feel resentful towards Ye Xingguo. Could a police chief really not handle a nightclub hostess? Besides, the hostess was paid for and was meant to be played with by men at will.

"Ah Lang, don't be afraid. Dad has hired the best lawyer for you. You'll be alright."

Ye Lang felt extremely aggrieved, feeling even more wronged than Dou E, as it was clearly just a one-night stand.

"Dad, I really didn't rape you, please believe me."

Looking at his son's anxious expression, Ye Xinghai wished he could get him out of there immediately. "Attorney Xu, thank you for your hard work. I don't want my son to stay in the police station any longer."

Attorney Xu adjusted his glasses. "Mr. Ye, please don't rush. Let me ask my client first."

"Ah Lang, just talk to Attorney Xu in detail. Dad will always be your strong support."

Ye Lang was very moved. In eastern Guangdong, the preference for sons over daughters was very common, and as a son, he was indeed more loved by his parents than his older and younger sisters.

"Thank you, Dad. I will be strong."

Even Attorney Xu was moved by the father-son relationship. It seems that being rich is the best way to live. Even if your children commit crimes, you can use money to settle things. Even if you can't settle things, you can get a shorter sentence. When they get out of prison, they can change their names and go abroad, and nobody will know. They can still live a life of luxury, riding horses and dancing as usual.

"Ah Lang, then please tell me everything that happened that night, in detail, without hiding anything. I am your lawyer, and no matter what happens, I will stand with you."

Ye Lang took a deep breath. He had already told the police many times and was starting to feel resistant, but for the sake of his freedom and for his father's sake, he had no choice but to say it again, albeit reluctantly.

After listening to Ye Lang's account, if he wasn't lying, Attorney Xu basically concluded that it was just a case of men and women in a bar, under the influence of alcohol, hitting it off—nothing more than a moment of impulsive desire and unrestrained passion.

Nowadays, when women accuse others of rape, it's either for money or someone deliberately orchestrates a scheme to achieve some other purpose.

"Mr. Ye, if I may be so bold, your son has probably been set up. Perhaps it's a matter of personal revenge, or perhaps you've offended someone in the business world."

Ye Lang has dated quite a few women, but all of them ended amicably. Besides, he has always been very generous to women, after all, his family is well-off.

"Dad, I've handled every relationship very well, really, really."

It's inevitable to offend people in business, but Ye Xinghai never tries to keep all the profits to himself. He believes in sharing wealth and making money through harmony. His son's current situation is definitely related to the struggle between Ye Xingguo and Chenjiazhai, but he can't say it outright.

"Attorney Xu, given the current situation, could you please bail my son out?"

Based on Attorney Xu's past experience, it's not difficult for wealthy and powerful people to bail someone out. After all, it's not like it's murder or arson. Even if it were murder or arson, these days, as long as you have connections, you can still get a death sentence commuted to a suspended death sentence, then to life imprisonment, and finally get various reductions in sentence and be released after serving a few years in prison.

"Mr. Ye, there shouldn't be any problem with bail. We can pay more bail."

Upon hearing this, Gao Lang's eyes lit up, and he was instantly invigorated. He finally understood the preciousness of freedom and didn't want to stay in the detention cell for even a day longer. He was a college student, a chosen one, and how could he be locked up with petty thieves and criminals? It was a disgrace.

Ye Xinghai was not so optimistic, because he immediately contacted Ye Xingguo, who refused on the grounds that the case was under investigation.

"Then I'll have to trouble Attorney Xu."

Shortly after, they found Chen Shunjun, who was in charge of the case, and made a request for bail.

"This case is currently under investigation, and it is not convenient to release the suspect on bail at this time. We ask for your understanding."

Attorney Xu thought he had misheard; this was completely different from what he had imagined.

"Officer Chen, my client is just a college student and doesn't pose any significant threat to society. Besides, this case is clearly full of suspicious points. I can't agree with your reasoning."

Chen Shunjun received a notice from his superiors, but he was simply following the rules. Although the suspect was likely innocent, the case now seemed to involve a power struggle, which made things complicated.

"Attorney Xu, the police are working overtime to investigate this case, and we believe there will be results soon. Please be patient with your client."

Attorney Xu simply couldn't accept this. Besides, he had received so much in legal fees from his client, and he couldn't be dismissed by the police with just a few words. Otherwise, how would his client see his abilities?

"Officer Chen, my client is willing to be released on bail of three times the amount of the deposit and to report to the police station every day. Is that acceptable?"

Chen Shunjun's expression turned serious, and his tone became stern, "Attorney Xu, I have already made myself very clear. The police station is not a place where you can easily bargain. Please cooperate."

Attorney Xu is a very good person at controlling his temper, but suddenly his anger flared up. This policeman was completely domineering and unreasonable. He could understand if it were an ordinary person, but his client's family had a very powerful background. Who gave the policeman the courage?

"Officer Chen, the police have only listened to the woman's side of the story. My client is the victim. If you can't give me a clear explanation today, I have reason to doubt that the police can handle this case fairly and justly."

Chen Shunjun remained unmoved and somewhat angry, saying, "The police don't need to explain to you how they handle cases. If you feel it's unfair, you can file a complaint anytime."

Attorney Xu has always adhered to the principle of maintaining good relations with the public security, procuratorate, and courts, but today, the client has given too much, so he has no choice but to bite the bullet and do it, even if it is ineffective, he still has to show his attitude.

"Officer Chen, this is blatant abuse of power! I'm definitely going to file a complaint against you."

Lan Ying couldn't stand this arrogant lawyer and was the first to tell them to turn left on the second floor. "You can file a complaint now; no one's stopping you."

Attorney Xu was furious. He had never encountered such an unreasonable and overbearing police officer before, and he had no choice but to go all out.

"Mr. Ye, please wait a moment, I'll go file a complaint right now."

Ye Xinghai understood that these police officers were merely following Ye Xingguo's orders, and that his younger brother was truly putting the greater good before family.

"Forget it, let's go."
