This took the police officer in the room by surprise. Xu Weilai turned herself in and confessed to all the stated crimes. This meant that she had no means to escape from the law and prosecution. Thus, it surprised them that a lawyer came to her defense when she had no means to defend herself.
He looked at Xu Weilai to seek confirmation, "Miss Xu, did you hire this lawyer?"
Xu Weilai's expression was unreadable. Her fingertips lightly tapped on the table for a few times as her lips moved slightly, "Yes, let him in."
Although the police officer could not understand Xu Weilai's motive and behaviour, she indeed had the right to hire a lawyer. He nodded at the officer that came to convey the message. "Let him in."
