Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 115 - 110: Breaking the Deadlock! The Ultimate Legal Rogue!
Cross-national transaction, embassy...
"Haha, that's right up my alley."
"I guess, the current target of the supervisory team and the Consulate Department should be to oust that bastard!"
Xu Liang directly points out what Du Tao and the others are considering.
They shift their focus to Wang Hai, intending to find clues about the other's identity through him...
But Wang Hai knows too well, so from the moment the crime started, only he in the country knows the other's identity!
"If that's the case..."
Yang Ruoxi suddenly notices a problem.
"Even if Wang Hai is taken away by the Elephant Country, he won't escape death!"
Xu Liang doesn't deny it, nodding in agreement.
The contact from the Elephant Country wants Wang Hai dead.
The supervisory team of the Eastern Country wants both of them dead.
Wang Hai wants to live.
The three parties, each reviling the other, form a bizarre stalemate, as if stuck in a bug, just allowing Wang Hai to barely survive in the police station!
However...
"Actually, Wang Hai doesn't necessarily have to die."
Xu Liang contemplates Wang Hai's inner thoughts attentively.
"If Wang Hai can offer benefits, his contact might leave him alive to continue earning profits."
Millions a year, who wouldn't be tempted these days.
If Xu Liang's law firm can make ten million a year in profit, he'd dare to take on the Upper City!
"So..."
Yang Ruoxi thinks for a long time before finally looking at Xu Liang.
"You've actually figured out the answer, haven't you?"
"You've already planned out what to do?!"
Xu Liang is taken aback.
He stands up, walks around the girl in front of him, and continuously observes.
Finally, Xu Liang clicks his tongue and says:
"How do you know me so well!?"
Yang Ruoxi pauses, then suddenly exclaims: "You really have a way, huh!"
Xu Liang: ...
"So you were just tricking me."
Xu Liang is speechless, while the other party is intrigued.
"Spill it, what's the solution?"
"Anyway, I'm about to join your law firm, so there's no harm in telling me, right?"
Yang Ruoxi leans in, genuinely wanting to know how to break the stalemate.
"Actually, the solution isn't difficult."
"The reason it can't be solved is because all participants are official, and they want to do this with dignity."
"Especially the police!"
Xu Liang starts to explain, "For the police, procedural justice and finding clues after investigation are ingrained!"
"After they found Wang Hai, their instinct was to search for clues based on the evidence I provided."
"But isn't it possible..."
"To trick Wang Hai into revealing it himself?"
Trick Wang Hai... into revealing it himself!?
Yang Ruoxi pauses, then widens her eyes.
"If he reveals it, won't he be dead!?"
The reason Wang Hai is currently in a precarious situation is that if he doesn't talk, someone will urgently come to rescue him.
Should he reveal it, it would be good if they didn't just send a hitman to kill him.
Unless he has a crisis of conscience.
But to pray for a butcher to have a conscience?
That's less likely than Xu Liang resolutely deciding to honestly fight a legal battle.
"Let me ask you, why is the Elephant Country so determined to save him?" Xu Liang smiles slyly.
Yang Ruoxi instinctively responds, "Because if they don't, Wang Hai might try to drag more people down with him..."
"So doesn't that mean, as long as no one saves him, Wang Hai would speak?" Xu Liang suggests.
Yang Ruoxi hesitates.
"That's why the Elephant Country..."
"What if the embassy suddenly feels that, even if Wang Hai speaks, it wouldn't cause them any trouble?"
Xu Liang suddenly asks.
Yang Ruoxi stops.
Upon seeing this, Xu Liang continues:
"In the entire Eastern Country, only Wang Hai knows the identity of his contact."
"He's smart enough to clear all evidence, leaving only a few early papers from the boiler room as the real evidence for leverage."
"But he was too smart for his own good, letting Liu Shengjie burn the only evidence that could incriminate the other party..."
As Yang Ruoxi listens.
In a daze, her eyes widen, her face shows shock.
In other words.
Without that real evidence, Wang Hai's words would be useless no matter what he claims!
Even if he spills all the details, it's baseless talk, amounting to rumors and slander!
That's why Wang Hai doesn't dare to push, fearing the others might realize this.
"But didn't you take a picture of the evidence..."
Yang Ruoxi hesitates.
"You're such a fool!?"
Xu Liang sighs in frustration.
"Does Wang Hai know I photographed the evidence?!"
"No."
Yang Ruoxi shakes her head; at most, Wang Hai only suspects it.
"Does the embassy know?!" Xu Liang asks again.
Yang Ruoxi shakes her head again: "Even less likely."
"So if we claim there's no evidence and remind the embassy that Wang Hai has no substantial evidence to indict, do you think they'd be so persistent!?"
"Even if the embassy suspects, they'd surely test Wang Hai."
"But Wang Hai himself truly has no hard evidence, and the embassy is astute; they surely won't miss this!"
"So let me ask you, let me ask you."
Xu Liang looks at Yang Ruoxi with a deep gaze.
"In this situation, do you think they'd risk rescuing Wang Hai?"
Would they?
They'd probably wish for Wang Hai to be sentenced to death tomorrow!
"And if they give up on Wang Hai, when he's sentenced to death, he'd absolutely drag everyone down with him!"
"These claims would indeed be considered defamation, rumors without proof."
"But at this moment, coincidentally..."
Xu Liang grins slyly, like a cunning old fox.
"If we happen to find a brand-new, verifiable piece of evidence right after the other party's trial?"
Yang Ruoxi doubts: "But what if Wang Hai says nothing before his death?"
"Isn't that perfect!?"
Xu Liang exclaims in delight:
"If Wang Hai dies without saying a word, and we have evidence, then what he allegedly said during his life is no longer up to him to decide!!!"
Yang Ruoxi: ???
What's this about Wang Hai not being able to decide what he said while alive!??
"Huh???"
Yang Ruoxi is utterly shocked, Xu Liang's words once again shattering her worldview!
Her eyes are wide open, her mouth shaped like an 'o,' stunned in place.
Coincidentally discovered?
Just the right piece of verifiable evidence!?
This is too convenient!!!
"This... this..." Yang Ruoxi is at a loss for words, her mind a bit scrambled.
Finally, she utters a sentence.
"Is this moral!?" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
"Don't question me!"
Xu Liang sternly rejects, "I've grown up reading the Tao Te Ching!!!"
After speaking.
Xu Liang stops teasing the young girl.
He once again pulls out Yang Ruoxi's phone, dialing Li Yang's number.
"Doot doot doot~"
The phone rings.
A short while later, the call connects.
Li Yang's voice comes from the speaker.
"Little junior brother, what's up?"
Hearing the sound, Xu Liang smiles subtly, leaning against the speaker, he says:
"Second senior brother, you..."
"Interested in learning about shysters!?"
Meanwhile.
In the distant Upper City Consulate Department.
"Shy... shysters!?"
In the office, Li Yang listens to the voice on the phone, his head filled with question marks.
"What shysters?"
"Little junior brother, you ran into shysters!?"
