Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 119 - 114: Awaiting Trial! Testifying as a Witness! [Extra]

"Forty million, I gave you guys forty million!"

"You're breaking your promise, I protest, I protest!"

"I demand immunity, I demand you extradite me back to my country!!!"

"..."

Wang Hai's words roared to the end.

All that remained for him was the 'buzzing' tone.

The other side hung up the phone.

Suddenly.

Wang Hai's entire body seemed to have its spine pulled out, his brain oxygen-deprived, he collapsed to the ground, face vacant.

...

Inside the police station office.

At this moment, Zhao Ge, Du Tao, and others were staring at the screen with tongues clicking.

The screen showed none other than Wang Hai!

"Whoa~ It really worked."

"In just a few days, the Elephant Country has really given up on extraditing him!"

"Indeed... Seems like Nata knows the purpose of Advisor Li's words, but he just has to pinch his nose and jump down!"

"Whose idea was this?"

Everyone was discussing, feeling quite astonished.

They were still collecting evidence and secretly investigating abroad.

Who would have thought, a single rift strategy directly broke the deep bond between Wang Hai and Nata...

Can you imagine that scene?

One second, Nata was racking his brains trying to save Wang Hai.

The next second, he wanted Wang Hai dead more than Eastern Country did!

"What's next?"

Someone suddenly asked, ultimately looking at Zhao Ge.

Zhao Ge recalled the plan and said:

"Just a normal trial."

Wang Hai should have been preparing for trial a long time ago!

It's just that Nata extended his life a bit.

For the police... Nata's only value is they still don't know who from Elephant Country was the contact with him.

But this doesn't conflict with the trial.

"Then let's send him for trial."

Someone nodded, looking at the people from the Supreme Prosecution Office.

"Thank you."

"No problem." The Supreme Prosecution Office folks responded.

Just as they were about to take him away.

"Oh, right."

Zhao Ge suddenly remembered something, saying:

"When you're in trial, remember to use the evidence provided by Elephant Country."

The Supreme Prosecution Office people paused, then their eye twitched.

Wang Hai would be pissed right off...

"Sure, I'll tell the local prosecutor." They nodded, picked up their coats and headed out.

In the office, the people were still clicking their tongues.

"The one who thought of this is really sly..."

"Use the evidence provided by Elephant Country to convict Wang Hai to death... Honestly, if Wang Hai doesn't get pissed off, he will definitely retaliate against Elephant Country!"

"The police barely need to investigate, all clues have been provided by both sides."

"The only thing needed is to verify the testimonies and evidence!"

"..."

This trick... is akin to letting the murderer provide the evidence for their own death!

They don't even need to act personally!

Really, they really did nothing, at most Li Yang blew a bit of wind, within days Nata broke up with Wang Hai!

"Whose idea was this?"

Someone looked towards Zhao Ge to inquire.

"Who is his mentor?"

Upon hearing this.

A beside investigating other cases, playing transparent, Su Guo suddenly paused, subconsciously thought of that old guy Wu Chengjun.

Wu Chengjun, a lifetime of reputation.

On the verge of retirement, his final days were in disgrace!

Su Guo's face showed a smile, but the smile only lasted for a few seconds before freezing.

No.

Back in the hospital, Xu Liang seemed to rudely call himself a teacher!?

Su Guo's smile froze on his face.

Oops...

...

...

November 14th.

Weather: Sunny.

The sun in November isn't as scorching as in August or September, shining on the body making one feel warm.

Eight o'clock in the morning.

Inside the Conscience Law Firm on Hongfu Street.

"Squeak~"

Yang Ruoxi yawned and pushed open the door of the law firm, just as she was about to punch in, she suddenly heard a voice.

"Little Yang, you're late again."

Looking up, she saw Xu Liang sitting on the sofa speaking, his face full of displeasure as he looked at her.

"Forget about getting your full attendance bonus this month!"

That's right.

Yang Ruoxi joined the law firm, Xu Liang signed a contract with her.

Her competence was decent, she never slipped up, and helped him out so much, there was no reason not to sign.

The most crucial part is...

Even if skills are lacking it's okay.

She would starve herself, causing no trouble to the firm!

However...

Upon hearing these words, Yang Ruoxi smiled.

"You talk as if I'd actually get full attendance if I were on time."

"Don't you feel like laughing saying that yourself!?"

She wasn't signed onto the law firm contract on the 1st, how could she have full attendance?

Besides...

Yang Ruoxi looked Xu Liang up and down, those eyes were extremely humiliating, making Xu Liang feel ashamed.

"You're broke, ding-a-ling."

"Where's the money to pay my salary?"

Under normal circumstances, a lawyer's main income is the contract fee, the fixed salary a lawyer provides isn't much.

Lawyers rely on law firms because they can find clients more easily, also, the bigger the firm's reputation, generally the larger the contracts.

Yang Ruoxi temporarily hasn't taken any commission.

Meanwhile, her position is as Xu Liang's assistant, making less than a thousand even at full monthly calculation.

A thousand?

In the past five months, the gas money for the car Xu Liang rode in was more than a thousand!

Fortunately, Xu Liang's skin is thick enough.

"No worries, little Yang, you have to believe, we'll grow big and strong!"

Xu Liang spoke sincerely:

"By then I'll be the big boss, you'll be a partner in the firm, millions and even billion-dollar contracts will flow to our firm!"

"We'll just be counting money until our hands cramp!"

Want to start a business, you have to learn the CPU first! 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

But...

"Lu Yao's money hasn't been settled yet, right?" Yang Ruoxi spoke disdainfully.

It's been almost a month.

Lu Yao's case is still unresolved...

It's as if Xu Liang is destined not to earn the money from the other side!

This contract is just a few hundred thousand, and it's already this difficult. Xu Liang even drew a multi-million big pie for him...

"I figure it's coming soon."

Xu Liang thought for a moment and calculated the time.

Ever since giving Li Yang advice last time, Li Yang has not contacted him.

This is normal, after all, he needs to avoid suspicion.

And the lack of response also confirms that the Consulate Department did use this off-the-record solution, otherwise Li Yang would at least give him a call.

Since they've used it...

"If I calculate the time, the fallout between Wang Hai and the embassy should be happening these days."

Xu Liang provided a clear answer.

"When the time comes, Lu Yao's money will naturally be ours!"

Hearing this, Yang Ruoxi nodded.

"Makes sense."

Trust crises happen quickly, and it only takes a day or two for people to collapse in suspicion!

The tactic Xu Liang used can be seen as a 'prisoner's dilemma.'

In the prisoner's dilemma, for small cases, the perpetrator can't hold out an hour before confessing everything.

Even a slightly bigger murder case usually only insists for about a day.

The fact that Wang Hai and Nata can last a week before tearing each other apart is already impressive!

Just as Xu Liang was trying to guess something more....

"Buzz buzz buzz~!"

A vibrating sound suddenly came from his pants pocket.

Xu Liang swallowed the words in his mouth, took out his newly bought phone, glanced at the number and saw it was unfamiliar before dialing.

"Hello? Who is it?"

The caller's voice came through the speaker.

"It's me, Chen Changchun."

The call was from Chen Changchun.

Xu Liang raised an eyebrow and continued to ask:

"Does Captain Chen have an urgent matter with me?"

"It's not that urgent... Wang Hai has been transferred to the prosecutor's office."

Wang Hai transferred to the prosecutor's office, meaning...

They really used my off-the-record solution!

Xu Liang raised an eyebrow.

Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives; I was just mentioning the case, and the news came the next second.

This move is like an arrow that cannot be turned back.

Once used, everything thereafter will unfold according to the expected scenario!

It's just...

"Is there anything else?" Xu Liang was somewhat skeptical.

Chen Changchun continued:

"Of course there is."

"Even though you're not a defense lawyer, you'll have to attend the trial."

"The prosecutor's office asked the police to notify you, the trial is scheduled for November 24th, remember to attend as a witness..."

As he spoke, a hint of amusement crept into Chen Changchun's tone.

Far away in the police station, he switched the phone to the other hand and laughed:

"By the way."

"There's another lawyer representing Wang Hai in this case."

"Originally, when he came to the station to understand the case and realized something was wrong, he wanted to run, but was stopped by the contract penalty."

"Wang Hai didn't really care about this lawyer; he only thought he needed a lawyer for communication during extradition."

"Who knew, now that the embassy has abandoned Wang Hai, he's pinning all his hopes on this lawyer."

"You didn't see it, but when the lawyer heard Wang Hai asking him to do his best, his whole face turned green!"

With that, Chen Changchun laughed heartily.

This case had weighed on his mind for almost a month, and now that the trial was approaching, naturally, he felt exhilarated.

And hearing him speak like this.

Xu Liang also recalled the lawyer who had asked him for directions before.

It had to be him.

Defending Wang Hai, facing the Six Ministries head-on, directly confronting the Supreme Prosecution Office, Supreme Court, Supervisory Commission, Public Security... and remaining unfazed!

Thinking about the trial scene.

The Six Ministries' people might be silently watching Qian Li from the audience seats, observing him defend Wang Hai...

Xu Liang and Yang Ruoxi couldn't help but want to laugh.

Hanhai's number one lawyer, without a doubt!!!

It's just...

"Am I really going to be a witness!?"

Xu Liang's face showed a look of astonishment.

Subsequently, he wore a strange expression.

"What's wrong, you don't want to?" Chen Changchun was taken aback.

"It's not that I don't want to."

Xu Liang fell into deep thought, slowly speaking:

"It seems like my evidence... was obtained illegally, huh."

Yes.

Xu Liang had illegally entered someone else's residence, covertly recorded footage without permission, and was alone while investigating inside an abandoned building!

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem legal.

And the court usually disregards such witness testimonies.

"By the way, do you know who's in charge of this case at the court?"

Xu Liang thought for a moment before asking.

The case in charge?

That would be the presiding judge, right?

This was something that Chen Changchun did know.

"The [Wang Hai Case] is quite significant, involving many things."

"So selecting the presiding judge needs to be done with extra caution!"

"In the past, it might have taken a long time to find one, but this year is different, this year there is a particularly resilient and capable judge who has handled two major cases within just half a year!"

"That person is..."

Chen Changchun laughed:

"Judge Zhao Yi!"

"All the judges at the Hanhai City Intermediate Court collectively recommended him to preside over this case!"

"This judge is quite responsible, I've heard he was almost moved to tears when he took the case!"

Zhao Yi?

Xu Liang's eyes lit up.

An acquaintance!

Since it's an acquaintance, then the issue of my illegally obtained evidence should not be a problem.

"Alright."

Xu Liang said with a joyous smile, honestly, he missed Zhao Yi after not seeing him for a month.

"Then I'll wait for the trial!"
