Elizabeth roused herself and suddenly opened her eyes.
The man shouted again, "Elizabeth!"
Elizabeth hurriedly turned around and saw two men standing at the door. One was Nash, and the other was dressed in a decent black suit with a black briefcase in his hand. He looked elegant, but she didn't know him.
She stood up and looked at them carefully. But she didn't see James. Although she was happy that she could leave here, she couldn't help feeling disappointed because James was not here.
Nash unlocked the door and opened it. Then he gestured that Elizabeth could go out.
"Congratulations. You can leave so soon."
When Elizabeth was about to go out, the woman behind her said again. The woman said it flatly, but it could be heard that she was a little envious.
Elizabeth glanced at the man in the suit. Then she turned back and said to the woman, "Thank you. I hope you can leave here as soon as possible."
"I hope so."
"Goodbye."
Elizabeth had just been sitting there in the same position for a long time, so her legs were a little numb. She had some difficulty following Nash and the man in the suit. They finally came to the police lobby after a long walk. Elizabeth was shocked and delighted to see James standing there on the phone. She suddenly widened her eyes.
He looked very handsome even though he still had a bandage over his head. He stood there dazzlingly as if he were the brightest star.
Elizabeth's heart skipped a beat. She didn't know how could he suddenly came back from City B and even found her here.
However, she couldn't control the excitement in her heart. She was even trembling.
It was great to have him here!
"I see. Okay. It's good to recover it. Remember to retrieve the surveillance video of the lobby as well."
As saying, James inadvertently glanced at Elizabeth. Then he frowned slightly and walked over to her. As he walked, he said to the phone, "Do as I said immediately. That's all."
After hanging up the phone, he was already standing in front of Elizabeth. He saw that Elizabeth was in such a mess. James frowned even harder.
James did not say anything. He looked straight at her, and he looked a little unhappy.
Elizabeth just thought he was displeased that she had lost his face. It was she who had caused him to come all the way back here, and to find her in such a place.
Although she thought so in her heart and clearly saw that he was displeased, she really wanted to cry because she felt touched and grateful to see Her lips trembled softly. She sobbed and whispered, "James..."
But she only called out his name. When she had not seen James before, Elizabeth felt very aggrieved and helpless. Now that she suddenly saw him, she felt immensely delighted and touched. She couldn't say anything else.
Her legs were a little numb and sore. She staggered towards James and then threw herself into his arms.
James still maintained his posture just now and didn't hug her back. He just frowned slightly and looked at her messy hair without saying anything.
"Mr. Lu, I've gone through the formalities. You can go now." The man in the suit said.
James nodded, "Well, thanks for your hard work, Lawyer Hogan."
Director Huang looked at Elizabeth along James's sight, and his eyelids couldn't help but twitch. He was smart enough to be in such a high position today. Although James didn't say who exactly Elizabeth was, he still knew that they must have a closed relationship. Otherwise, James would come here personally.
After thinking for a while, Director Huang said with an embarrassed smile, "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry. But this must be a misunderstanding. I'll ask them."
After Director Huang finished speaking, he turned around and went inside. After a while, he came out with Mac and Nash.
"I've already asked them. Just now, they were in charge of the interrogation of this... Miss Liang. But they're all following the law. They have not done anything inappropriate."
Hearing this, James snorted and said, "Follow the law? Then why does she have bruises on her arm?"
When Mac heard this, he replied soon, "She fell down because she didn't sit still just now. It had nothing to do with us."
"Well." James nodded and then hooked his hand at Elizabeth. After Elizabeth walked over, he asked her, "He said you fell down by yourself. Is it right?"
Elizabeth thought for a moment and nodded gently. Although she was frightened by Mac's kick, she really fell down by herself.
Seeing this, Director Huang felt relieved.
But when James heard this, he didn't feel embarrassed because Elizabeth said the same with them. He said to them again, "So you just let her fall down? Did you apply the medication to her?" "Well..." Nash glanced at Director Huang and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
James glanced at Elizabeth's dry lips and said to Director Huang, "Don't you have water? Can't you see how thirsty she is?"
Upon hearing this, Director Huang's heart tightened again. He glared at Mac and Nash in front of him, "They are all temporary workers. Maybe they were just in a hurry to investigate the case at that time, so they forgot to prepare the water. But it's true that we didn't do it properly enough." After that, he looked at Elizabeth again, "Sorry, Miss Liang. It's all our fault."
