What is known as Pandora's box, this was it.
Having absconded, Lawyer An Li'en appeared as a jesting jester, hiding in a nearby bar. Just a few days ago, he had been a distinguished lawyer with a family that could be described as perfect. But now, as each false facade was peeled away one by one, as the truth hidden behind came to the surface, he came to realize that he had been living within lies upon lies.
An Li'en drank himself into a stupor at the bar and then was thrown out into the alley by the bartender.
His wife wasn't his, neither were his children. Knowing this, how could the once haughty An Li'en tolerate such betrayal?
So, before You Li could call the police, before the police could come to arrest him, he contacted Shi Lan first.
@Lawyer An Li'en: "@An Lan—send contact information, I want to meet and talk."
Shi Lan sent him her phone number via direct message. After receiving it, An Li'en deleted the message and called Shi Lan.
"I want to meet and talk."
