Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 116 - 111: Li Yang: What a Ruthless Trick! [Seeking Monthly Votes!]

"Senior brother, are you interested in learning about a litigator!?"

Inside the law firm, Xu Liang spoke with a full smile and a gentle tone.

Li Yang, who had just answered the phone, was suddenly taken aback.

Liti...litigator!?

Why does he need to understand this?

As someone from the Consulate Department, most of his dealings are with diplomatic issues, unrelated to litigators!

If there's really a need to know, wouldn't it be the Supreme Court and the Supreme Prosecution Office that should know?

For those places, encountering a litigator is like seeing an enemy, wanting nothing more than to pull out knives to kill them.

"No way."

"Senior, did you have some contact with a litigator!?"

Li Yang's eyes suddenly narrowed, realizing something.

"Did someone teach you how to litigate!?"

"I'm telling you, don't you dare..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Xu Liang directly interrupted.

"No."

"I'm just sympathizing with you, second senior brother!"

Xu Liang said, his expression instantly changed to a sorrowful look, his tone filled with deep sadness, sighing into the phone:

"Yesterday, after second senior brother spoke with me and learned about your situation..."

"I couldn't sleep a wink all night, I still have two dark circles under my eyes!"

"Spent the entire night pondering how to solve your troubles, second brother."

Upon hearing this.

Li Yang was slightly moved; he could tell that Xu Liang was indeed telling the truth.

The other person really spent the whole night thinking of solutions!

The fatigue from sleeplessness wasn't something that could be faked.

"Very thoughtful."

Li Yang felt a warmth in his heart, appreciating his junior brother's concern, but still said:

"However, senior brother's troubles are just a bit annoying, but not actually difficult."

"You just need to take care of yourself in Hanhai City..."

Out of both emotional and logical reasons, he didn't want Xu Liang involved in this affair.

Firstly, it's too difficult!

The Consulate Department is currently facing serious issues due to information mismatches.

The Supervisory Team is not the same department as the Consulate Department, there are even seven departments altogether!

Li Yang might know about the case, but not its details, so he can only guess the true intentions based on the reactions of the Elephant Country's Embassy.

So after a few days, the Consulate Department hasn't presented a clear solution.

They can only waste time, though this is a strategy, at least they're not the ones feeling urgent for now.

Thus Li Yang thought it best if Xu Liang stayed out of it.

However...

"Second senior brother, I have a solution, want to hear it?"

In a trance, Xu Liang suddenly spoke.

There...there's a solution!?

Li Yang paused.

Haha.

Although he didn't want Xu Liang involved in this case.

But, if there's a solution... then that's a different story!

They're fellow disciples, isn't helping each other very reasonable!?

"Tell me more."

Li Yang felt a stir in his heart.

He understood Xu Liang, the other person wouldn't say anything without confidence.

In other words, as long as Xu Liang claimed something could be done... then there was usually a clever plan behind it!

"Senior brother, as it stands, the conflict between the Consulate and the Embassy is caused by Wang Hai hiding the information the Supervisory Team wants."

"And the hidden information happens to be the Achilles' heel of Elephant Country, but they don't realize..."

"Currently, Wang Hai has no means to prove the substance of this information!"

"In other words, he's betting even without evidence, Elephant Country will find ways to take him away! Because the information is for Eastern Country's police, Wang Hai dares to gamble, but Elephant Country doesn't dare..."

"Therefore, due to the informational gap, the three parties are stuck in a bizarre stalemate, preventing you from reconciling them, listen to me, senior brother..."

Xu Liang calmed his mind, and began to slowly explain to Li Yang.

He laid out the entire case, from Wang Hai, Supervisory Team, Consulate Department, and White Elephant Embassy, presenting four perspectives!

Instantly, the entire case became clear.

Li Yang felt amazed; far away in Upper City, being only a counselor, he indeed didn't know as much as Xu Liang in Hanhai City.

Upon hearing this, suddenly he was enlightened!

Although understanding wouldn't break the stalemate.

Until he heard Xu Liang's solutions...

Upon hearing the first sentence, Li Yang was somewhat skeptical.

By the second sentence, Li Yang was surprised.

After three words, Li Yang's eyes widened.

"No, there's something wrong with this!"

"Using the information gap, make the Embassy and Wang Hai turn on each other!?"

"But seeing it this way, aren't we deceiving the other side?"

Li Yang's head buzzed.

Using the information gap between Wang Hai and the Embassy, making them fight each other, then mutually hating each other in the contest, eventually even fighting to death!?

And after the fight is over, just when one of them thinks they can live without worry...

Then suddenly taking out the so-called evidence!?

"Exactly."

Xu Liang nodded.

"But what if Wang Hai doesn't say anything before the trial?"

Li Yang's heart was thumping wildly.

His conscious mind told him this plan was a bit despicable, essentially causing collateral damage to everyone outside of their group.

But his subconscious told him this plan...

Could really work!

Could resolve the stalemate in the shortest time!

"Wang Hai doesn't talk?"

"Then force him to talk, the dog-eat-dog scenario needs someone to fan the flames!"

Xu Liang's eyes narrowed, unloading what he had thought onto Li Yang.

He spoke into the phone:

"Senior brother, you can first make them suspicious of each other."

"Once suspicious, the Embassy will definitely delve into whether Wang Hai's substantive evidence exists!"

"Wang Hai is no fool; in the back and forth, tempers will flare, and during the exchanges there'll surely be some unsuccessful attempts!"

"At that point, their trust will be on the verge of bankruptcy."

"And all you need to do is fan the flames!"

"For example, tell the embassy people about part of the information I've submitted, making them think it was said by Wang Hai."

"For instance, making Wang Hai feel like the embassy is gradually abandoning him. Seeing that he's about to die, he'd definitely go insane!"

Li Yang's eyes brightened as he listened.

This is... a clever scheme!

As long as both sides experience a crisis of trust... a collapse is not far off!

In such a situation.

If you were Wang Hai, paying protection fees of over ten million each year, and just when it's time to save your life, the other party suddenly abandons you...

What would you do!?

"Moreover, even if Wang Hai really becomes a turtle, saying nothing till his death..."

Xu Liang hinted meaningfully:

"Then at that time, what he supposedly said wouldn't be up to him."

"Just let the police follow the evidence, suspect where there's a problem, and firmly claim Wang Hai said it when he was alive!"

Involving a major case of this level, they also have corroborating evidence...

If you don't stop them, that's fine, but if you do, there definitely is a problem!

So...

"Brother, discuss it with the investigation team."

"If everyone agrees, then I think the sooner, the better. After all, the sooner the time, the more anxious both sides become, and it's easier to stir things up," Xu Liang advised.

Li Yang thought it made sense.

In the Consulate Department office.

He sat on the sofa, continuously analyzing Xu Liang's method.

In the end...

"It seems like..."

"It really could work!"

Li Yang was amazed.

He just imagined himself as either Wang Hai or the embassy's side and suddenly discovered this move was unbeatable!

Even if Li Yang recited the plan in front of the embassy's people, they couldn't do a thing about it!

The core is that Wang Hai indeed has no substantial evidence.

And as soon as the embassy gives up, Wang Hai would definitely panic, which has nothing to do with whether it's a trick.

It's just that...

"Junior Brother, where did you learn this move?"

Li Yang was baffled, questioning further.

"Your method... I have a feeling it's a bit...."

He hesitated for a long time, finally squeezing out the words.

"I feel it's a bit dirty!"

Li Yang actually wanted to ask if this was a trick only a cunning lawyer would use.

After all, setting aside the case, this kind of 'you deceive me, I deceive you, and then betray you'... is truly unethical.

Xu Liang replied without a change in expression:

"Brother, it was our teacher who taught me."

"The teacher taught you!?"

Li Yang was stunned, his mind recalling the old man Wu Chengjun.

Thinking it over and over, not only did it not clear his doubts, but he felt even more puzzled.

"When did the teacher learn this trick, and how come I didn't know?"

"Brother, you're already in your thirties, how long had the teacher been teaching when he taught you?"

In Hanhai City, Xu Liang in the law firm spoke with a serious face.

"And me?"

"By the time the teacher taught me, he was already a law professor!"

"The teacher has been a professor for more than ten years; his ability is definitely stronger, and his understanding is deeper!"

"So, it's normal that he taught me things you don't know, right?"

"Moreover, we're brothers, what's mine is yours, and what I know, I've shared with you, haven't I?"

It seems like...

No problem at all!

Indeed, Xu Liang wasn't keeping it to himself; he spent a whole night thinking of a solution when he heard Li Yang was in trouble.

Li Yang felt slightly touched.

But still a bit suspicious.

"That old-fashioned teacher... could he really know this?"

Wu Chengjun was known for his rigidity; could he really come up with such a versatile strategy?

"It certainly was the teacher; brother, do you think I came up with this?"

Xu Liang, very dissatisfied, started lecturing his senior brother.

"Brother, do you think your junior brother is a crooked lawyer?"

"Do you think your junior brother is so unscrupulous he must be a cunning lawyer!?"

Li Yang quickly spoke up:

"No, no!"

"I know, brother surely wouldn't think like that of me."

Xu Liang's face broke into a smile again, even his tone softened a lot.

After that.

He didn't explain further, as too much would be overdoing it.

"Since we've said everything, then brother, go ahead with your decision."

"I'll go handle my own affairs first."

"Alright." Li Yang nodded.

After speaking.

The phone call was disconnected, and there was a 'beep, beep' sound coming from the receiver.

At Hongfu Street Law Firm.

Xu Liang let out a long breath. As he looked up, he happened to see Yang Ruoxi bending over, face towards the ground, moving around.

He was slightly puzzled, not understanding what the other person was doing. He asked suspiciously.

"Little Yang, what are you doing?"

Yang Ruoxi stopped her steps, looked at him expressionlessly, and said:

"I'm searching for your face."

"Strange, just now when you spoke, your face fell to the ground and you didn't want it anymore."

Xu Liang: ?

"Overstepping boundaries, I am your supervisor now!!!"

...

...

Meanwhile.

In the Upper City Consulate office.

Li Yang looked at his phone, rubbing his chin, sat on the sofa in deep thought for five minutes, and after a while sighed and said:

"The teacher is really good at hiding his cunning!"

With that, he stopped pondering about his mentor.

Instead, he dialed another number.

"Xiao Zhang, help me contact the investigation team, I want to discuss this case with them, maybe..."

"There's another way!"
