The lawyer, perplexed, left the police station with a heart full of questions.
At noon, the deputy director returned from a meeting and, upon inquiry, learned that Li Qiao was still in the detention room.
"She refuses to leave?"
The officer handling the case nodded with difficulty, "The lawyer from the Ming family came this morning, and from what I gathered… it seems she won't leave unless Elder Ming personally comes to request her."
The deputy director sneered, "Then let her wait."
Regardless of Elder Ming's status in Parma, even the head of the first prestigious family, the Shang's, would have to call him father-in-law.
This young lady, so young, probably doesn't understand the cruelty of society.
She dares to make a scene in the independent Tribal Chief's Mansion of Parma; she'll have her time to cry later.

Two hours later, the police station in the Old Town District received an accountability call from the Tribal Chief's Council.
