Who Made Him a Lawyer?
Chapter 326 - 226: New Case! Blue Shield Law Firm!
Someone’s cut in...
It’s not uncommon, after all, in some poorly managed law firms, colleagues cut in on each other.
It’s all driven by profit; when benefits are readily available, people will compromise on morals to get them, and someone will inevitably give in.
But when it happens to you...
Xu Liang won’t tolerate it!
"Who cut in!?" Xu Liang’s tone turned cold.
The pickled vegetable factory.
Sun Chuan placed the phone by his ear, put one hand on his waist, recalled something, then shook his head and said:
"Not too sure, I just know it’s a lawyer from ’Blue Shield Law Firm’, which seems quite famous."
"Judging by the accent... probably not from Jiang City, from out of town, rushed here when the news went viral last night."
While speaking, a strong sense of helplessness showed on Sun Chuan’s face.
"It’s not illegal, just morally questionable... I have no reason to obstruct his contact with Qi Tao."
"A bit like a sticky plaster, you’d... better contact Qi Tao yourself."
This case can be solved, Zhao Hailong captured, perhaps even wiping out the whole pickled vegetable factory, Xu Liang is the key contributor; Sun Chuan certainly feels gratitude.
But in such private matters... he truly has no justification to stop this.
"Blue Shield Law Firm..."
Inside the law firm on Hongfu Street.
Xu Liang furrowed his brows, pondering for a while.
There aren’t many law firms in Jiang City, and to his knowledge, no Blue Shield exists in this county-level city!
Is it from Hanhai City?
No, no Blue Shield there either.
Hanhai City is currently dominated by three major law firms: Chengen Law Firm, Dream Building Law Firm, and Xu Liang’s Conscience Law Firm!
Of course, although there are three law firms on the surface, traditionally Chengen has been overpowering Dream Building.
But unfortunately, Chengen’s three key lawyers have all dropped the ball, so their prowess has fallen, making them comparable to Dream Building Law Firm.
Within Xu Liang’s firm, Xia Yao, Wang Feiyu, and others have matured, taking connections into account...
"It’s not from Hanhai City either, no one in Hanhai City dares to mess with us."
Yang Ruoxi spoke up in reminder.
"They’ve all been beaten into submission."
So...
"Qingshi City?"
In a flash, Xu Liang’s eyes glinted, and the name of a region quickly spilled out.
"From the timing of it all, Blue Shield must have taken notice last night."
"But last night the news was only brewing within small circles, namely the second trial location Qingshi City and Zhang Tao’s return to Hanhai City. If it’s neither Hanhai City nor Qingshi City, it has to be Qingshi City!"
Yang Ruoxi muttered, "The provincial capital... "
The provincial capital’s law firms still dare to engage in such immoral acts...
With that thought.
Xu Liang paused, then spoke into the phone again:
"Officer Sun, could you please inform them?"
"I’ll head over around noon."
Upon hearing this.
On the other end of the line, Sun Chuan showed a smile, replied energetically:
"Not a bother, not a bother at all, Jiang City’s police owe you a favor, anytime you need help, just ask if it’s within our ability!"
Xu Liang returned the smile and said directly:
"Alright, I’ll definitely ask when the time comes."
"Officer Sun, you get busy, I’ll hang up now."
"Uh-huh."
With that said, he pressed the end call button, and the moment the call disconnected, Xu Liang’s face instantly turned cold, brow furrowed, clutching the phone, his grip turning his knuckles pale.
The people in the law firm exchanged glances, looked at each other without speaking a word.
Until...
"The fruits are being picked from directly under me..."
"Ha."
Xu Liang suddenly chuckled lightly, glancing at Yang Ruoxi and Su Yu beside him.
"You two come with me."
"As for the others... carry on with normal case handling at the firm."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded, Xu Liang said nothing more and directly swung the door open to leave.
Watching his departing figure, Yang Ruoxi and Su Yu hurried to catch up.
The three got into the waiting car.
The next moment...
"Vroom!"
The roar of the engine sounded, the car turned, followed by the slow rotation of four tires, soon disappearing from view.
Witnessing this scene.
People inside the law firm were left in amazement.
"Tsk, this guy is truly devious..."
Someone couldn’t help but comment, clearly he hadn’t anticipated this scene from beginning to end.
Wang Feiyu couldn’t help but nod and said: "Indeed."
The school and teachers had always taught about the application of laws, not considering personal matters, yet within just a month after graduation... he was first blindsided and then nearly had the two-month outcome of the firm’s work snatched away!
Just as they were marveling at the scene...
Out of the blue, a sound suddenly came from behind.
"Tap tap tap..."
This was the sound of footsteps... somewhat unstable footsteps!
Upon hearing the noise, Xia Yao instinctively turned around to ask:
"Senior, why are you back... huh? Not the senior?"
While speaking, Xia Yao paused.
She initially thought Xu Liang had returned for something he’d forgotten, but unexpectedly, the owner of the footsteps was...
A woman.
At the law firm’s main door.
A woman of about forty years old, with sunken cheeks and dim eyes, skin rough as sandpaper, hair dry and lips pale, resembling a skinny woman ravaged by illness, nervously entered by pushing open the firm’s main door.
She was dressed in patched-up, washed-out clothes, with cloth shoes on her feet.
In her arms, there was even a... a child?
It seemed to be a child, around seven or eight years old, though he was completely still.
"Excuse me... hello?"
Xia Yao hesitated, looked at the woman, tentatively asked.
"Is there anything you need help with?"
Upon hearing the commotion, others in the law firm stopped their conversations, curiously gazing over.
