Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 87 - 83: Prosecutor: Bringing a Busload to Block You In!
Let me ask you a question.
What was the most nerve-wracking moment of your life?
Xu Liang didn’t know before, but now he does.
It was...
As a litigator, what do you do when you’re blocked at the door by a whole busload of people from the Supreme Prosecution Office!?
It’s really quite urgent!!!
"Hmm? Lawyer Xu, you might not be aware that you’ve already made a name for yourself in Upper City."
Prosecutor Su Guo squinted his eyes, locking his gaze firmly on Xu Liang.
"Haha, killing three, sentencing three, suspending three—there aren’t many in the country who could handle that."
"Truly a young hero emerging!"
As he spoke word by word,
Xu Liang felt increasingly like he was sitting on pins and needles.
A young hero?
Are you joking? The opposite side of that sentence was them!!!
"Not at all, even without me, it would still be judged this way."
Xu Liang put on a simple, honest look, scratching the back of his head and responding.
"With or without me, it would be the same."
"Judges always rule according to the rules!"
Upon hearing this,
The corners of the prosecutors’ eyes twitched.
So, this case has nothing to do with you at all, huh!?
"Did Lawyer Xu graduate from Upper City University? Who was your teacher?"
Su Guo chuckled while squinting his eyes a bit.
Unlike regular students who blacklist their mentors after graduation, students in law and finance, if they are outstanding and forward-thinking, often maintain good relations with their university teachers.
Why?
Because these professions require resources and even more, they rely on connections!
Graduating from a top university, Xu Liang must have kept in touch with his teachers.
The school is in Upper City, and Su Guo might even know his teacher.
He was curious to see...
Which old man taught this kid!
Xu Liang slightly twitched his mouth.
Did this really have to involve calling the parents!?
Is he the type to betray his teacher!?
That is his mentor, someone he cherishes deeply!
"Wu Chengjun!"
Xu Liang decisively sold out his teacher.
"My teacher is Wu Chengjun, a law professor at Upper City University, Professor Wu!"
You’re kidding.
If the sky is falling, let the tall ones hold it up!
Moreover, as his teacher,
if he’s become a litigator, doesn’t the teacher have some responsibility!?
Su Guo seemed thoughtful, his eyes a bit strange, but he didn’t dwell on this issue further.
"Leader, can we go now?"
Xu Liang smiled again, looking eagerly at a few people.
"Why rush? I need you to cooperate with my work."
Su Guo collected his thoughts, looking at the other party seriously.
He didn’t come to Hanhai City for a vacation.
There was serious business!
The case of Zheng Mei was seriously out of control, an extremely vile case that he would take over to investigate!
The Supreme Prosecution Office assigning someone to interrogate Zheng Mei... well, Zheng Mei deserved it.
"Time waits for no one, let’s move."
With that, everyone moved towards the office building in unison.
Xu Liang wondered if he ran, would he be caught back; but after thinking about it, he decided against it, and just followed silently behind everyone else.
Seeing him like this, Yang Ruoxi slightly slowed her pace, leaning beside him.
Feeling the presence of someone, Xu Liang glanced at her.
"What?"
Yang Ruoxi leaned beside him, chuckling softly:
"Heh, even you have a day like this!"
A litigator surrounded by the Supreme Prosecution Office...
The thought of it made Yang Ruoxi want to laugh.
"Why don’t you dare to mess with the other side!?"
Mess with Su Guo?
Xu Liang focused his eyes and ears as if he hadn’t heard, ignoring the comment altogether.
Kidding, he’s just a litigator.
Not a fool!
He said nothing, nor did Yang Ruoxi find it boring; she kept teasing him, while Xu Liang pretended she was just babbling.
Soon enough,
"Shh~"
Xu Liang suddenly signaled for silence, simultaneously pulling Yang Ruoxi back.
She snapped out of it, closed her mouth, and looked up.
Before them stood Du Tao, the police chief of Hanhai City, who was walking down the stairs to stand at the entrance of the office building, looking at everyone.
Su Guo exchanged a glance with him, and the two approached each other.
"Prosecutor Su."
"Director Du."
The two shook hands, and Su Guo didn’t intend to engage in pleasantries.
"Under the orders of the Supreme Prosecution Office, I am commanded to transfer suspect Zheng Mei to the detention center. I request your cooperation in this matter, Director Du."
Upon hearing this,
Du Tao nodded.
"Zheng Mei is currently in the holding room."
After speaking, he turned to the officers around him and said,
"Assist Prosecutor Su in retrieving the suspect."
The officers nodded, leading the way ahead.
After a few steps,
The holding room appeared before them.
Creak~
The officers moved forward to open the door, and Su Guo and Du Tao stepped inside.
A sudden chill hit them.
Click-clack,
The crisp sound of footsteps echoed down the corridor.
Hearing the footsteps, the detainees in the holding rooms on either side looked curious, leaning against the bars to watch.
Su Guo passed these people with a cold expression.
Finally...
"Click..."
The footsteps suddenly stopped in front of a certain door.
Xu Liang and Yang Ruoxi peeked over from behind the crowd.
Inside the holding room, only Zheng Mei was detained.
But compared to the last time they saw her, she looked worse, with dark circles under her eyes and more disoriented.
Even with several people standing outside her door, she seemed unaware.
Until the officers approached her.
Creak~
The iron door of the holding room was pulled open, making a creaking sound.
The sound was extremely harsh.
Zheng Mei snapped out of her trance, turned to look, and only then realized that tall figures stood outside the door.
She froze slightly, and upon seeing the national emblem on their chests, her face showed fear, and she let out a sharp scream.
"Who are you!?"
Su Guo’s face was stern; he drew out his credentials and held them up.
"Supreme Prosecution Office."
With this, he said not a word more.
But it was enough.
The moment the words fell, Zheng Mei felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, completely chilled to the bone.
Supreme Prosecution Office...
These people were from the Supreme Prosecution Office!
Their arrival often signified someone was about to face the final judgment!!!
"No..."
Seeing the two officers coming to take her, Zheng Mei looked panicked and continuously backed towards the corner, as if she wanted to bury herself there.
But sadly,
The officers and prosecutors would not give up because of her demeanor.
Reaching towards her, Zheng Mei already pressed herself to the corner with nowhere left to retreat, could only watch helplessly as they got closer.
Until they held her up.
This height of fear peaked.
"No... don’t, don’t!!"
Zheng Mei was frantic, struggling continuously, her hair suddenly disheveled, her hands and feet twisting.
"I was wrong, don’t arrest me!"
"I admit my mistakes, I admit my mistakes!"
"You can’t take me away, I still have things to say, I still have things to confess!"
The crowd coldly observed.
Mistakes?
When she trafficked, did she think she was wrong!?
When she killed, did she feel she was wrong!?
During the decade plus on the run, did she suddenly know she was wrong!?
Now that she’s about to be judged, she knows she’s wrong!?
She’s just scared of death!!!
Zheng Mei was in despair.
Even though she said, "willing to confess," they still didn’t seem like they would let her go.
And in her struggle...
Her eyes caught sight of the man at the very back of the crowd.
This is...
Zheng Mei froze, then her expression twisted in rage, letting out a horrifying scream.
"It’s you!"
"It’s all because of you!"
"You wretched thing! You traitor!!!"
"You clearly said you wouldn’t report me, clearly said you wouldn’t report me!"
"I’ll kill you, I want to kill you!!!"
Everyone halted.
The very next second, all turned to look at Xu Liang at the back of the crowd.
"Huh?"
Xu Liang’s heart skipped a beat, but he forced himself to remain calm.
"Why are you looking at me?"
