Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 130 - 125: The Fourth Page of the Leather Book!

"Xiaoyang, you have no idea how much of an old bastard Wu Chengjun is!"

"He pretends to be better than anyone on the outside, but the students he teaches turn out rotten to the core!"

"Calling him a shyster would be a compliment. With someone like him running a law firm, wouldn't that just spoil the local atmosphere?!"

"I'm telling you, when you get home, make sure to steer clear of him, don't get too close!"

Wang Yao sternly advised Yang Ruoxi.

Yang Ruoxi fell silent.

What could she say?

Say that not only had she gotten close to him, but she'd also helped him in court?

"Um, Dad, is it possible that you might have misunderstood something...."

Yang Ruoxi awkwardly started to speak, feeling a bit relieved inside.

It seemed Yang Jing hadn't mentioned her affairs to Wang Yao, and he was just joking around!

"Misunderstanding?"

"The case is also a misunderstanding?"

Wang Yao's face turned dark.

Even verifying such cases requires a tremendous effort, purely increasing work difficulty and load!

"His reputation in the area is actually quite good."

"The newspapers and media have reported on him, and the victims' families are very grateful to him!"

Yang Ruoxi continued to speak well of Wang Yao.

"Ha, Wang Hai was also a famous philanthropist in the Hanhai City newspapers before."

Wang Yao sneered suddenly.

Then he waved his hand broadly.

"Forget it, why am I telling you this, you don't even know Wang Hai..."

Yang Ruoxi was a bit hesitant to speak, withdrawing slightly.

Could she say that not only did she know him.

She was outside keeping watch when Xu Liang illegally collected evidence?

Wang Yao looked over at his daughter, and suddenly spoke:

"You're not getting any younger... Have you met any boys you fancy recently in Hanhai City?"

"If you have, Dad can understand too, no need to worry about me."

"Of course, the most important thing about the other person is their character!"

Yang Ruoxi subconsciously thought of Xu Liang's face, feeling more guilty inside.

But then she thought.

The other is her boss, not a partner, so she said:

"Got it, got it!"

"I definitely won't go for those who are cunning, who can argue a death sentence into not having criminal responsibility, those shysters who go back on their word!"

Wang Yao felt gratified.

As expected of his little cotton-padded jacket!

"As long as you understand."

After speaking, Yang Ruoxi was about to slip away.

"Dad, since there's nothing else, I'll be going now!"

"Huh?"

"Didn't you come to see me? Why are you leaving so soon?" Wang Yao was a bit taken aback.

"Dad will be off work soon, and you..."

Yang Ruoxi replied, "I came with a friend."

Hearing this, Wang Yao's lips moved, and after a moment, he felt his little cotton-padded jacket was a bit drafty, but he was helpless.

"Alright then."

"As long as you have fun, Xiaoyang."

After saying this, Yang Ruoxi closed the door and walked out.

As she walked, she thought about Wang Yao's words.

"Surely Maoxian is quite moral, though..."

Yang Ruoxi muttered.

Speaking of which, Wang Yao's urging her to marry popped up again in her mind.

She subconsciously thought of Xu Liang again.

At this, Yang Ruoxi's steps paused.

"No, why am I thinking of him..."

Yang Ruoxi fell into deep thought.

Ultimately coming to a conclusion.

That she only knew Xu Liang as a non-family male friend in Hanhai!

Yang Ruoxi let out a long sigh of relief.

She brushed away those images in her mind and walked towards the Supreme Court's exterior.

Just as she reached the entrance, she saw a familiar figure at the foot of the steps.

It was none other than Xu Liang, who had been waiting at the door early!

Yang Ruoxi showed a smile.

Just as she was about to wave and say something... she noticed, in a moment of blurriness, Xu Liang laughing and chatting with a girl beside him.

Yang Ruoxi paused.

Then she hastened her steps and quickly descended the stairs.

"People in Hanhai City are very warm and welcoming, waiting for you... hmm?"

While speaking, Xu Liang's smile suddenly froze, feeling something, he turned to look at Yang Ruoxi who was rapidly approaching.

"You're out?"

Xu Liang raised an eyebrow, "Not staying to chat a little?"

Yang Ruoxi didn't rush to speak.

She glanced at Su Yu beside her, leaned a bit closer to Xu Liang, sticking together, and smiled:

"No need, we can talk on the phone, and my dad will be on holiday in a few days."

After speaking.

She casually looked at Su Yu and asked with surprise:

"And who is this?"

Only then did Xu Liang realize he hadn't introduced them yet.

He hurriedly introduced the other party.

"This is my junior sister, named Su Yu."

"I mentioned before needing to recruit a staff member to Upper City."

Xu Liang said with a smile, then looked at Su Yu and said, "This is Yang Ruoxi, law firm's employee number 00002, my assistant."

Junior Sister, huh...

Yang Ruoxi looked at Su Yu's pretty face, suddenly grinning as she spoke:

"Junior Sister Su, do you have any funny stories about Maoxian!?"

Maoxian?

What kind of name is that?

Su Yu was a bit puzzled, but she could guess that this might be another nickname for Xu Liang.

She shook her head immediately and replied softly:

"I was not Teacher Wu's student, my former teacher was transferred, and Teacher Wu was entrusted to teach me."

"Today is actually the first time meeting Senior Brother..."

"I see."

Yang Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief.

Not a real junior sister, first meeting today...

She had met Maoxian half a year ago.

Yang Ruoxi subconsciously thought to herself.

The two fell silent, occasionally glancing at each other from the corner of their eyes.

Xu Liang didn't understand why these two women stopped talking after exchanging just two words, wasn't it awkward....

But it's not a big deal.

The newly hired employees definitely aren't familiar with the old employees, but after collaborating a few times, they'll get to know each other!

"Let's eat first, we'll head back to Hanhai City after dinner."

Xu Liang said.

The two women nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, at the Supreme Court, in the office.

Wang Yao watched through the window as Xu Liang and the other two left.

He noticed there was someone of the opposite sex among the so-called friends, but he didn't object.

After all, Yang Ruoxi just turned 24 after the new year, technically 25, soon to be 26, almost 27, and if she dates for another three years, she'll be about 30. If the relationship doesn't work out and she takes two years to calm down, she'll be 32...

So even though she looks just 23.

In reality, she's already an older unmarried woman at 32!!!

That's why Wang Yao strongly supports her dating now.

But...

Wang Yao's brow furrowed.

"That guy looks kind of... "

"Familiar?"

Wang Yao fell into deep thought.

"Who could it be... "

...

...

The three didn't stay long in Upper City.

They just sampled some of the local delicacy, roast duck, and Xu Liang packed two servings before boarding the train.

In just an afternoon's time.

Yang Ruoxi and Su Yu got acquainted, and the two started chattering as soon as they were on the train.

"So, this afternoon, you were asking about what Hanhai City is like!?"

"That's easy to say, folks in Hanhai City are quite nice, everyone there is very warm, and unlike Upper City, the processes aren't complicated, and cases generally don't involve political considerations."

Xiaoyang said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Su Yu asked:

"What about our law firm?"

"What are our firm's current goals? And how do we handle lawsuits?"

To be honest, Su Yu felt a bit nervous.

Though she's a student at Upper City University and has watched many trials.

When it comes to the real internship, even if she's memorized the processes by heart, facing it is still nerve-wracking...

"Just like normal."

Yang Ruoxi thought for a moment and replied: "It's pretty much like the processes you're familiar with, just that the content depends on yourself."

Upon hearing this.

Su Yu glanced cautiously at Xu Liang who was lying nearby and asked softly:

"What about Senior Brother?"

"How does he handle cases?"

"That's bullshit?"

Yang Ruoxi paused, her expression turned peculiar, she gave Su Yu a look up and down.

"Do you run fast?"

"Huh?"

Su Yu was a little taken aback, "Why?"

"Nothing, just if you don't run fast, I don't recommend you learning Senior Brother's way of handling cases!"

"He's... Likely to get beaten up!"

As someone familiar with Xu Liang, Yang Ruoxi said tactfully.

Likely to get beaten up?

Su Yu was a bit puzzled.

"Ahem!"

Xiang Liang, who was beside them, suddenly coughed with a darkened face.

He enjoyed watching the new and old employees bond, but he did not appreciate the slander of his reputation!

However...

Just as Xu Liang was about to say something...

A fleeting moment.

It was as if he sensed something, a thought flickered in his mind.

Xu Liang ignored Yang Ruoxi and Su Yu beside him.

He turned and took out a... leather-bound book from his briefcase.

Xu Liang looked at the leather book for a while before reaching out to open its cover.

As he moved...

The book slowly opened.

One page... Two pages... Three pages... Four pages!

Xu Liang's pupils suddenly contracted, as if he was pricked by a needle, his expression became serious instantly.

Those eyes focused intently on the newly turned fourth page.

Different from before.

The fourth page was now completely blank, without any words appearing.

"Just like the Lu Yao case, the new page won't show any words unless a case appears, or after a case is completed...."

Xu Liang fell into contemplation.

But whether or not there are words in the leather book...

It couldn't hide the reality of the fourth page being turned!

So...

"What's going on now?"

Xu Liang settled down, constantly calculating.

"The third case was the Wang Hai case, which involved the entire underground crime syndicate in Hanhai..."

"The supervising team patrolled Hanhai for several days, and now they've wrapped up, proving Hanhai is very clean. Presumably, if there were any illegal groups, they should be hiding quietly...."

So...

"What is the situation with this case?"

He murmured in his heart, pondering for a long time without an answer.

Finally, he glanced at Su Yu and Yang Ruoxi.

Luckily.

There are three people in the firm now!

Even when facing a major case, they're not short of hands!

It's just unknown...

How the case would unfold.

At this moment.

Su Yu widened her eyes and asked Yang Ruoxi:

"Assistant Yang, how does our firm usually acquire cases?"

Yang Ruoxi thought for a while and replied:

"In general, like other law firms, we communicate with the bar association and judiciary and then look to law firms for legal aid."

"Secondly, regular clients walk in."

Su Yu nodded, that seemed normal.

However...

"What about unusual situations?" Su Yu suddenly asked with curiosity.

Unusual situations...

Yang Ruoxi thought about the two cases Xu Liang encountered, where one client was too cold and the other too enthusiastic.

She twitched the corner of her mouth and said:

"Cases come to the firm on their own!"
