What's wrong with this lawyer?!

But he was certain that he had to trust the result of the police investigation.

"As for what Liu Yan said about someone taking a video, we've already obtained that. Liu Yan's stabbing behavior was seen in the video,"

Tang Fangjing had finished asking his questions. Seeing that Officer Wei was about to leave, he quickly said, "Comrade, I would like to apply for the police to investigate some evidence."

"It's the surveillance footage from No. 57 Middle School, from three days ago, seven days ago, as well as fifteen and twenty-one days ago... The locations are... There should be surveillance there."

Upon hearing this, the criminal detective Officer Wei asked, "What's the reason for the investigation?"

"It's to prove that the victims have been bullying Liu Yan over a long period, and that there was a reasonable cause for Liu Yan's counterattack at that time."

"Here is the written application."

Naturally, this wasn't the only reason; Old Tang could also collect evidence on his own in the future, but it would be much better if the police could do it for him.

Officer Wei took the application and then said, "Alright, that's it. We'll notify you later about whether the application is approved."

Once he had dealt with these matters, Tang Fangjing left the criminal police team. He needed to prepare his written opinion.

Of course, merely being successful in defending Liu Yan and establishing self-defense would not be good enough, even if it was deemed 100% justifiable.

To achieve a 200% outcome, none of the bullying students could be let off.

To break through the 200% outcome, the school, another major party, also needed to take responsibility.

Then it would require thorough preparation.

Two days flashed by, and Liu Yan's bail had been approved. Liu Jianguo and his wife quickly paid the bail and went to the detention center, ready to take their daughter home.

Meanwhile, at Jingzhou City First Hospital.

"What? She's been released? On what grounds, huh? Alright, I got it!"

After hanging up the phone, the man stormed off to the other side: "Look, while we're here worried sick, they've already let her go!"

The woman at the entrance of the hospital ward immediately stood up and asked, "Who's been released?"

"Who else but that Liu Yan? I was just inquiring about the details of the case, and they told me that she had been released on bail—just let go like that!"

The man said gloomily, and he was Li Zixin's father, Li Jun.

The woman opposite him was Guan Qiaolian, who had previously gone to the police station to curse Old Liu.

Her son's condition had improved and he was no longer in the ICU, but seeing him in that state made her feel pitiable. To think that the criminal who stabbed her son had already been let go made Guan Qiaolian's blood boil with anger.

"No way, let's go find them. Isn't she at the detention center? If she's been released, she must come out through there. Call up the other families; I don't believe this!"

Leaving Li Jun to watch their child, Guan Qiaolian called her brother, phoned the other three families, and headed straight to the detention center.

...

Inside the detention center, Tang Fangjing and Old Liu couple were waiting, having submitted all the necessary paperwork.

Before long, a police officer brought over a girl who looked bewildered.

Seeing her, Liu Jianjun immediately rushed up: "Xiao Yan..."

The couple hugged their niece and cried together, the incident was like a bolt from the blue that had shattered their peaceful lives.

"Xiao Yan, are you alright? Let mother have a look, it's good… it's good that you're fine."

With her parents' care, Liu Yan finally came around. She was going to be let out?

She looked at Tang Fangjing again and felt her judgment had been correct—this Uncle Tang was truly dependable…

Tang Fangjing smiled at Liu Yan and then said to the police officer, "She is... after all, young, please understand, we'll leave right away."

After a few minutes, when the family's emotions had settled slightly, Tang Fangjing spoke up, "Alright Old Liu, it's time to go, any conversation can be had at home."

This place indeed wasn't suitable for talking. Old Liu immediately took his daughter by the hand, signaling his wife to head home.

As they left the detention center and were about to get in their car, they suddenly saw several people rushing over.

"Stop right there, STOP! My son is still in the ICU and you're being let go, on what grounds, huh? No one is leaving, stop them!" Guan Qiaolian shouted from up front.

Seeing Liu Yan protected by Old Liu and his wife, Guan Qiaolian found the sight intolerable. She couldn't comprehend why someone who had stabbed another person could be released so calmly, while her own child had to suffer.

The other parents came forward to block the way of Tang Fangjing and his group.

"That's right, don't leave! You didn't even come to see our kids in the hospital and now you want to go home and enjoy your lives? I'm telling you, there is no way. That bitch, come out! When you were stabbing someone, you were brave enough, now what are you doing hiding?" Another person also shouted out loud.

It was Zhao Lingling's father, Zhao Dehan, who also wore a grim expression.

Being called a bitch was referring to his fifteen-year-old daughter, and Liu Jianguo's face began to darken.

But as he was about to retort, Tang Fangjing stopped him.

"Don't argue with them. Arguing won't solve the problem. I'll handle this; you know I'm good at talking,"

Old Liu paused at these words, but since Tang Fangjing was already stepping forward, he held back from saying anything.

Old Tang looked at the group of people in front of him and sighed inwardly. Although the saying "Like father, like son" is not always accurate, you have to admit that sometimes it makes a lot of sense.
