"How could it be him?"

Aunt Dong frowned upon seeing this lawyer, because this man was notorious in Zao City for being a difficult lawyer to deal with.

There had been many cases where even if the criminals had confessed to their crimes, he managed to get them acquitted in the end.

Many of the police officers there knew this lawyer, and their faces changed unconsciously upon seeing him.

"Hahaha..."

The man who had been chastised by Wang Hao couldn’t help but burst into laughter upon the arrival of this lawyer, because he was his lifeline.

Thus, the man found his confidence again and roared at Wang Hao.

"You little prick, today you’re finally falling into my hands. Now that my lawyer has arrived, there’s not a case in the whole Zao City he hasn’t been able to fix. I guarantee you’ll rot in jail!"

Wang Hao turned around and couldn’t help but laugh too, as the person who appeared in front of him was an old acquaintance.

When lawyer Qin Xi saw Wang Hao, his complexion changed instantly. He had been full of confidence, saying he could handle everything, but as soon as he saw Wang Hao, he looked like a mouse that had seen a cat.

"Oh, isn’t this our great lawyer Qin Xi?"

Wang Hao said sarcastically to Qin Xi with a smile that was not really a smile.

Last time, Qin Xi was almost ruined by Wang Hao, and he had developed a psychological shadow towards him. Now just hearing Wang Hao’s name made Qin Xi shiver unconsciously.

At this moment, Aunt Dong and Zhou Yingying were not clear about what had happened between Wang Hao and Qin Xi, and were still worried about Wang Hao internally.

If Qin Xi insisted on making things difficult for Wang Hao, then the situation would become very tricky.

It goes without saying for the man, who now wished nothing more than for Qin Xi to kill Wang Hao on the spot.

"Lawyer Qin, hurry and save me. This damn cop dared to hit me, get him thrown in jail, quick!"

The man shouted loudly at Qin Xi.

"And just now, he injured me. Get me out of here to get my injuries checked; I want to make sure this kid doesn’t die a good death!"

Qin Xi couldn’t help but feel bitter inside. Out of all the people to offend, why did it have to be Wang Hao? Even if the Jade Emperor descended from heaven, it probably wouldn’t save you now!

"Hey, I’m talking to you Qin, the lawyer. What are you standing there in a daze for? Hurry up and get me out of here!"

Seeing Qin Xi standing there stupefied, the man couldn’t help but get a bad feeling.

Qin Xi, after hearing the man’s words, did not attend to him but instead quickly approached Wang Hao, with an ingratiating smile on his face.

"Brother Wang Hao, what a coincidence bumping into you here. What are you doing here?"

"Can’t you see for yourself?"

Wang Hao said nonchalantly, pointing to the bewildered man, and then with a look of disdain, he glanced at Qin Xi and asked.

"He was just bragging about hiring an incredibly tough lawyer from Zao City, is that you?"

"No... Not me! I was just passing by, saw a crowd, and got curious, so I came to see what was going on!"

Qin Xi continued with a forced smile, initially thinking about whether he could say some good words to have Wang Hao let the man off directly.

But seeing Wang Hao giving him that disdainful glance made him think that letting the man go for no reason was unlikely now. Since the situation was so difficult, Qin Xi decided not to take the man’s money anymore.

As long as he didn’t offend Wang Hao, anything would do. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Hold on, Qin Xi, how can you... abandon me after crossing the bridge? You’ve already taken my money..."

"Scram!"

Seeing that the man was about to say something detrimental about him, Qin Xi stepped forward and slapped him, cursing non-stop.

"Don’t you see who you’re dealing with here? You’ve crossed Wang Hao, brother; you must have a death wish. Still got the nerve to look for a lawyer? Utterly ignorant of your own limitations."

"I’d say anyone who crosses Wang Hao ain’t good people. I’d rather not earn money from you scoundrels!"

To save his own skin, Qin Xi directly switched sides to Wang Hao, and didn’t hesitate to rain down punches and kicks on the man.

"You ungrateful son of a bitch, don’t think Zao City has only one lawyer. Believe it or not, I can still hire a team of lawyers, and when I do, I’ll sue you and Qin Xi together."

The man, infuriated and embarrassed from the beating, roared at Wang Hao.

"You’re the goddamn instigator, you bastard. Just you wait, I’ll make sure you can’t get away with this."

Despite this, the man was still very confident.

"Bullshit!"

Qin Xi directly shut the man up and didn’t forget to nod and bow to Wang Hao, saying,

"Wang Hao, brother, rest assured, if that kid dares to sue you, I’ll personally come to be your defense lawyer and make sure you walk free!"

Then Qin Xi couldn’t help but glance contemptuously at the man, adding,

"In Zao City, so far no lawyer dares to compete with me, Qin Xi."

The man was completely shocked upon hearing this.

Qin Xi had initially been the lawyer he hired with money, but upon realizing he was up against Wang Hao, he immediately defected to Wang Hao’s side, which filled the man with doubts about Wang Hao’s background.

The man was well aware of Qin Xi’s capabilities; if Qin Xi really stood with Wang Hao, toppling Wang Hao wouldn’t be an easy task.

Aunt Dong and Zhou Yingying exchanged glances, both of them surprised by the situation.

Upon seeing Qin Xi arrive, they had been considering how to assist Wang Hao, but they hadn’t expected Qin Xi to switch allegiance to Wang Hao’s side.

Aunt Dong, in particular, found herself increasingly fond of Wang Hao as she watched him.

Zhou Yingying, relieved, finally let out a sigh of relief.

"What’s wrong? Were you worried about Wang Hao just now?"

Aunt Dong heard Zhou Yingying’s sigh and leaned in to whisper.

"I..."

Suddenly Zhou Yingying’s face turned red, and she was almost too shy to speak.

The police officers present admired Wang Hao after witnessing this scene, surprised by his transformation from a simple farmer a few months ago to an untouchable figure now.

Qin Xi had a resounding reputation in Zao City’s legal circles; to see such a figure groveling before Wang Hao like a fawning dog suggested Wang Hao was no ordinary man.

"Now, you either confess everything or get ready to explain yourself to the King of Hell. Choose one of these two options!"

Wang Hao’s eyes suddenly hardened as he lifted his foot and pressed it against the man’s chest.

"Alright, alright, I’ll confess, I’ll tell you everything!"

The man had clearly seen Wang Hao’s ruthless side and didn’t dare to act tough anymore, slowly spilling all his secrets.

Everything turned out as Wang Hao had expected; the man was an outsider who brought a group with him, apparently to spread a mysterious cult.

There was no specific name, they worshiped a deity, and there was no formal doctrine other than claims that sincere devotion would ensure the blessings of a good harvest, even without planting, crops would grow.

What was astonishing is that every time they practiced their faith, their grains would miraculously increase without reason.

After hearing all this, Wang Hao couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile; he was incredulous that people could believe such tales meant to fool the spirits.

Taking a closer look at the women in the room, Wang Hao shook his head; there were indeed many believers here, which posed a real problem.
