Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 131 - 126: Corpse! A Mess of Corpses!

"The case found its way to the law firm?"

"What does that mean?"

Su Yu was a bit curious.

Yang Ruoxi didn't really know how to explain.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally said, "It's just as it sounds."

"But don't worry, our firm shouldn't be that unlucky."

Su Yu still didn't quite understand.

But she didn't press further.

Now, it was getting late, and the sky outside was already pitch black.

The three of them tidied up a bit and then fell into a deep sleep.

...

...

The next day.

December 6th.

Six in the morning.

The three of them got off at the train station.

Yang Ruoxi called up Wang Chao, who was rare to drive Yang's little car, even if he was just being the chauffeur.

But Wang Chao was already very satisfied.

Six-thirty.

The three arrived at Xu Liang's law firm.

"Junior sister came in a hurry, and the firm currently doesn't have a place to stay, so in the coming days, I'll find a hotel for you to stay," Xu Liang said.

"The firm will cover the hotel expenses during this period."

Su Yu nodded. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Although she graduated from Upper City University and her family was well-off, it wasn't to the extent of spending money extravagantly.

"I'll first contact the legal association there to submit your documents."

The legal profession isn't quite the same as a regular company.

Hiring an out-of-town lawyer requires contacting the local legal association to submit some materials, and Su Yu also needed to pass some exams to officially become a lawyer.

If some materials don't meet the standard... she'll temporarily only be able to act as an assistant.

Before leaving, Xu Liang instructed Yang Ruoxi:

"Yang, familiarize the junior sister with the law firm and the current legal situation in Hanhai City."

Yang Ruoxi nodded.

After speaking, Xu Liang disappeared, leaving only the two girls in the entire law firm.

After the senior brother disappeared.

Su Yu suddenly felt uneasy, everything around her seemed unfamiliar.

Hanhai City was indeed different from the familiar Upper City, pretty much what Xu Liang mentioned, but it didn't quite reach a remote level.

Compared to some places, it was even considered developed!

Yet she still felt out of place.

"Don't worry, when handling things in our firm, just pay attention to two places,"

Yang Ruoxi began introducing.

"The first is Chengen Law Firm; Maoxian and this firm seem to have a grudge, so be careful if Maoxian pushes them too hard, they might hit you with a brick."

Su Yu nodded.

"What's the second one?"

Yang Ruoxi thought for a moment and said, "The second is the court."

"If you're in the Intermediate Court, the presiding judge is called Zhao Yi, or in the Basic Court, the presiding judge is called Zhang Bo."

"It's best not to reveal you're from Maoxian Law Firm."

Su Yu was surprised.

Why still need to be wary of the judges!?

"Why?" she asked, puzzled.

"Because...."

Yang Ruoxi seriously warned:

"There's a chance they might hit you in the head with a brick!"

Su Yu: ?

Su Yu was a bit confused.

Xu Liang's reputation... isn't supposed to be good!?

But soon she stopped dwelling on this matter.

Yang Ruoxi enthusiastically showed her around various areas of the law firm.

....

....

Six in the afternoon.

Su Yu gradually began to adapt to Hanhai City and found every place quite novel.

Xu Liang also brought some good news.

After scrutiny from the legal association, Su Yu indeed qualified to be a lawyer, meaning she could soon provide value for Xu Liang!

Of course, there was also some bad news.

That is...

"Sorry, no suitable place for you to live has been found yet."

Xu Liang was a bit apologetic.

He didn't expect to find such a competent subordinate on his trip to Upper City, so he hadn't looked for housing in advance.

However, Su Yu didn't see it as a big deal.

"Senior brother, I'm fine staying at a hostel," Su Yu said with a smile.

"Haha, no need to save money for your senior brother."

Xu Liang chuckled, picked up her luggage, and walked towards the car.

"I have booked a hotel for you."

Yang Ruoxi, beside her, also reassured her.

"Maoxian just seems poor, he's actually quite wealthy, just feel at home!"

Hearing this.

A warm feeling arose in Su Yu's heart.

She no longer insisted and got in the car with them.

The next second, Xu Liang stepped on the gas, the car turned around, roaring towards the hotel.

The hotel he picked was a well-known chain brand.

Very pricey for a night.

But similarly, if something happened, they could approach them without fear of them running away.

The reason... because of the cameras!

Yes, starting in 2004, secret recordings in hotels became increasingly common, some small hotels and inns would set up cameras to secretly record and sell the footage to certain websites.

And this wasn't just a single motel, but many!

It could even form a crime network where hotels and inns in a region all had this risk, and reporting it to the police was useless.

As for how profitable this was....

One can only imagine!

Evening, seven-thirty.

"Screech~!"

A brake sound echoed.

The three of them opened the car doors, getting out and heading towards the hotel entrance.

After checking them in, Xu Liang didn't stay long.

But hurried away with Yang Ruoxi.

Inside the hotel.

"Phew, senior brother truly is a good person!"

In a room roughly forty square meters in size, Su Yu looked at the exquisitely decorated living space, a smile appearing on her face.

She tried sitting on the bed.

The mattress bounced lightly under her.

Su Yu found it very novel.

She had never stayed in a hotel before, usually staying at home or at school, this was her first time.

Then tried out the rest of the hotel's amenities.

Once she had enough fun.

Su Yu lay back on the bed, looking at the ceiling as a surreal dreamy feeling washed over her.

She had thought about what to do after graduation.

Maybe she would follow the crowd and become an ordinary lawyer running around, or perhaps she might not even litigate at all, just joining some company.

But she really didn't expect.....

Xu Liang would actually recruit her!

The employee number is even 00003!

Thinking that her senior brother handled three major cases just in the second half of the year...and they all won!

And she was going to follow such a person, a slight smile appeared on Su Yu's face.

But she didn't indulge in it for long.

"Ringing~ Ringing~"

A burst of telephone ringing disturbed the drowsy Su Yu!

Su Yu woke up with a start.

She felt around for her phone, finally finding it on the bedside table.

She glanced at the caller display: Mom

Then she walked to the window sill, opened the window, felt the breeze, and dialed the phone.

"Hello?"

"Sweet daughter, have you arrived in Hanhai City?"

A gentle middle-aged woman's voice sounded.

A smile appeared on Su Yu's face, looking at the scenery outside the window.

"I arrived this morning!"

"How's Hanhai City? Tell me about it~" Mother Su laughed.

Her mother was worried about Su Yu, but she didn't want to overly control her.

She knew that her knowledge and experience were no match for her daughter's, so she simply let her go her way.

Otherwise, using her narrow vision to trap her daughter would make her admission to Upper City University pointless!

"Hanhai City is great; although its development isn't like Upper City, to be serious, there are more opportunities here than in Upper City!"

Su Yu whispered, then paused and continued:

"Besides, my senior brother is very nice!"

"He was busy for me all day today, didn't have time to eat after returning to the law firm, washed his face and went to the lawyer association!"

"The hotel I'm staying at now was also booked by him; it seems really expensive!"

"People in Hanhai City are very warm and nice!"

Su Yu spoke enthusiastically.

During the talking.

A droplet suddenly fell into Su Yu's face from the air.

"Drip..."

The water was somewhat warm.

Su Yu looked up but saw only a dark cloud.

She hurriedly said: "Mom."

"It seems like it's going to rain here..."

Su Yu was about to continue.

But in the next second.....

"Drip!"

Another droplet fell onto her hand.

The warmth of the droplet was noticeably less than that on her face.

Most crucially....

Su Yu was stunned; although it was her first time staying at a hotel in Hanhai City, she was absolutely clear that rainwater...

is not red.

"Hey, honey, what's happening with you over there?"

Mother Su's voice came through the phone speaker.

But Su Yu was too lost in thought to respond.

She stared dazedly at her hand, where the bright red, viscous 'droplet' lay.

The water was brownish and emitted a rancid smell.

"Drip drip drip~!"

In the next second.

It seemed as if it were raining from the sky.

A series of bright red droplets fell from the air.

This is....

Su Yu's eyes widened.

She dazedly peered out of the window, stiffly looking upwards.

"Swoosh!!!"

A shadow suddenly flashed past her eyes, swiftly falling downwards.

The speed was so fast that Su Yu didn't catch a trace of any details!

Yet...

No time was needed to see the details in this moment.

"Gulp~"

Su Yu swallowed hard, her eyes frozen, recalling the fleeting image in her mind.

It was a pair of pale eyes, staring intently at her as it fell.

Su Yu's heart skipped a beat, her pupils contracted sharply, her brain feeling as if it were suffocating!

The shadow wasn't something.

It was a human.

It was a person!

And the place was.....the twelfth floor!

Dozens of meters high in the sky!!!

Instantly.

Su Yu felt herself struggling to breathe, her long legs beginning to weaken.

She gasped for air, desperately trying to alleviate the lack of oxygen in her brain.

Feeling a bit better.

Su Yu mustered the courage to look down.

On the ground...

Lay a person.

Yes, lay, not lie!

As for why it's said to lay....

His back skull had already burst open!

Cerebrospinal fluid mixed with bright-red blood, slowly spreading across the ground.

The body, visibly thin and frail, was shattered with compound fractures, ribs broken into several pieces!

The legs and neck twisted at a bizarre angle...

He lay there.

This is...

A corpse.

A corpse shattered into a mush of flesh!!!

The mud-like flesh embedded into the cracks of the concrete ground!

Only one pale eye remained, gazing upwards at Su Yu peeking from the window, staring intently.

He looked at Su Yu, mouth agape, as if saying something.

"Honey, honey~"

Amidst the quiet night.

The phone speaker transmitted Mother Su's gentle voice.

"Why are you silent now?"

The sound was very clear.

But at this moment, Su Yu heard nothing.

She only felt her vision gradually blurring, ears full of ringing, the sign just before fainting.

She trembled and glanced at her arm.

It wasn't raindrops that fell onto her pale skin just now.

It was...

Viscous blood!

"Ah!!!!!!!!!"

A shrill scream pierced through the entire night!
