There seemed to be a pause.
After a long pause, they replied, "Lawyer George is currently under investigation by the Enforcement Bureau, so he can't take the call right now. Who are you to him?"

He has helped them win many civil lawsuits without ever losing a case.
This kind of investigation...
She had never even heard of it.
"He helped a company with a case and got involved. According to people from the Enforcement Bureau and the Investigation Bureau, he's suspected of colluding to embezzle illegal funds, with a significant amount involved. He probably won't be able to take calls for now…"

the employee of the law firm added another sentence.
Which made her feel even worse.
Got implicated in some company's incident...
