Transmigration of the Famous Cyber Star-Chapter 180: Owing a Favor

Liu Man came to the Piano building again. This time, she rode the elevator to a higher level. The floor was full of practice rooms for violin, viola, and cello players. Tang Tu’s private practice room was among them.

She walked to a door with “Private” written on it. Tang Tu heard her footsteps and opened the door before she knocked.

Looking at the man in front of her, Liu Man felt a bit absentminded. She never saw Tang Tu again after she was done filming in February. It had already been three months since then.

Tang Tu was still so handsome. His beauty had always been very public; it was a kind of noble publicity. On the surface, it seemed gentle and elegant, but in the bones, he looked down on the mundane.

But now, after three months, Liu Man felt that he seemed to have changed a little. It was not his appearance, but the feeling he gave Liu Man. It seemed that he had reduced the spirit of his whole body, and he became restrained and mature.

He smiled faintly at Liu Man, “Come in.”

Liu Man walked in, and Tang Tu closed the door, not locking it.

There was a table and a chair in the piano room with a violin case on the table. The case was open, and there was a violin lying in it. The wooden surface was bright and gorgeous. It must be extremely valuable.

Tang Tu asked Liu Man to sit down, but she shook her head.

“I’ll just stand, it’s fine.”

Tang Tu didn’t force her either; he only stared at the face he’d been dreaming of for days. Quelling the feelings he had for her, he said, “I know about what happened to your father.”

“How?” This was why Liu Man even decided to see Tang Tu. She had to figure out what was happening.

“I hired a very famous lawyer to sue Qiao Xin and Zhang Daqiang. The lawyer’s name is Li Shuhua.”

Liu Man blocked the two words Tang Tu on Wei Bo. She didn’t want to see anything about Tang Tu on Wei Bo. It was not that she had any huge grudges against Tang Tu, but during that time, if she didn’t block him, Liu Man would see netizens taking her and Tang Tu out to gossip over and over again every day, which was very annoying.

But from the mouths of fans and Li Xiaoru, she already knew that Zhang Daqiang and Qiao Xin were both arrested. Before Qiao Xin attempted to harass her, he forced her to drink at the New Year’s Eve dinner, which proved that he wasn’t a great person, so Liu Man was not surprised that he would do such a disgusting thing as peeping at Tang Tu’s privacy.

Tang Tu asked, “The lawyer your father has, his last name is Sun, right?”

Liu Man nodded.

“Lawyer Sun called my lawyer a few days back and discussed your father’s case. I just so happened to be near.”

Liu Man frowned. She didn’t understand why Lawyer Sun would tell Tang Tu’s lawyer about it. Wasn’t this her family’s privacy?

But how could she know the good intentions behind Lawyer Sun’s actions? Sun Yiyi was just a normal lawyer, and Wei Ying was also only a judge in the lowest tier. Though they did have little connection in the law system, it was just not enough to push Liu Chenyu’s case.

After the procuratorate approved the arrest of Liu Chengyu, the whole case got stalled.

The court deliberately delayed the progress because the boss of Liu Chengyu’s initial unit had a good relationship with the court’s leader in private. He reminded them that they shouldn’t convict Liu Chengyu. Even if Liu Chengyu’s job couldn’t get saved, he had to keep Liu Chengyu’s cadre status.

However, it was a fact that Liu Chengyu drank and killed someone. The settlement agreement submitted by Lawyer Sun was timely. In theory, with a settlement agreement, Liu Chengyu could be punished lightly, but it was impossible to avoid staying in prison, let alone save his position as cadre. The prosecutor’s office just grasped this point and wouldn’t let go.

The most troublesome part for the court now was how to give Liu Chengyu a fair and honest reason so that he did not have to bear criminal responsibility.

During this period, the inspection team happened to be rigorously investigating the judicial system, and no one wanted to get caught at this time. The consequences of this kind of thing getting exposed were serious.

So, the main members of the court stalled for time by telling Zhang Pei and Liu Man they were going through the procedures.

The sole attorney who could persuade these higher-ups would be Li Shuhua.

It was why Sun Yiyi called Li Shuhua, asking him to help.

Li Shuhua refused at that time. Why should he help him? The so-called “connections” all came with mutual benefits. Sun Yiyi’s class was too low to bring any benefits to Li Shuhua. So obviously, he wouldn’t agree.

To emphasize the identity of Liu Chengyu’s daughter and the huge profits that Li Shuhua might get after the incident, Sun Yiyi specifically mentioned that Liu Chengyu’s daughter was the viral Hanfu Goddess.

Li Shuhua asked, “Who’s Hanfu Goddess? Why are you paying attention to any of these messy things on the Internet? Is a cyber star worthy of my attention?

Tang Tu just so happened to hear this sentence. After Li Shuhua ended the call, he asked him what happened.

Out of professional ethics, Li Shuhua didn’t want to tell him about other people’s cases.

Then Tang Tu said, “Did you forget? Hanfu Goddess is the girl Zhang Daqiang mentioned, the one I like.”

Li Shuhua: “…”

He wouldn’t dare hide it from Tang Tu, so he told him everything.

After hearing Tang Tu’s words, Liu Man was shocked. But at the same time, her mom and herself just wanted her father to come back safely, but why did this task feel like it was impossible?

“Lawyer Li is already helping your father’s case, so don’t worry, there will be results very soon,” Tang Tu had a calm voice, making it sound like this was a normal thing to do.

But in reality, when he knew the troubles of Liu Man’s family, he felt the same feelings as Yu Zhan.

Of course, Tang Tu strongly disapproved of what Liu Man’s father did. The sole reason why he decided to help Liu Man was only that she was the girl he liked.

He respected Liu Man’s strong will, but he also felt sorry.

Everyone knew that Liu Man had a boyfriend. Tang Tu was not someone who would entangle on because he had his own limits. He would never, as he thought himself too superior, fight with other men because of a girl. He would never do any low-tiered things such as taking a girl who already had a boyfriend. It was not about him taking the initiative to fight but was about morality.

He would keep a certain distance away from taken girls, until the day they break up…

“Thanks, I accept your offer. Now that I owe you, how do you want me to pay you back? Or, how much do you want?”

Zhang Pei had always dreamt of Liu Chengyu coming back home. If Liu Man declined, she’d be too hypocritical, so she wanted to discuss the matter.

Tang Tu knew Liu Man’s intentions, see how she gave his assistant 200 RMB for the ride, she didn’t want anything to do with Tang Tu.
