Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 151 - 135: Bribing Xu Liang! [4,000-Word Super - !]
"This..."
The guards in the detention room hesitated for a moment but eventually followed Chen Changchun's instructions.
In no time.
A slovenly figure appeared in front of everyone.
This was Duan Feipeng. He hadn't been afraid during his days in the detention room, and no matter how much the police interrogated him, they couldn't get a word out of him.
"Oh, Lawyer Zhou, we meet again. Have you eaten?"
Duan Feipeng grinned cheekily at Director Zhou.
Then he glanced at Chen Changchun in front of him, and at Xu Liang watching from a distance.
He thought for a moment.
Suddenly, he became serious, stomping one foot and pointing a finger to his head.
"Bang!"
"Suspect Duan Feipeng, reporting to the captain!"
He made a comical salute.
Then, he chuckled, not taking the surrounding police seriously at all.
Provocation...
Bare-faced provocation!
Chen Changchun's face turned ashen.
"My apologies."
Director Zhou's tone was apologetic, but his expression remained gentle as he said:
"The kid is still young, underage, and immature."
"Please bear with him."
It would have been better if he hadn't spoken.
Once he did... it disgusted everyone even more!
Even if Duan Feipeng's guilt could be established, it would only be a reduced sentence.
Or perhaps, if they managed to pin it on Du Ze and the unrefutable evidence against Jianghai, he wouldn't be sentenced for long.
If he behaves 'well' in prison...
Probably, he could be out in a few years.
"Take him away then."
After handing over the release paper, Chen Changchun paused just as Duan Feipeng grinned cheekily.
Suddenly, he continued, "Officer Zheng, Officer Sun."
The two officers beside him immediately stood up.
"Captain, I'm here."
"You both take a few people and follow Mr. Duan closely these next few days," Chen Changchun instructed.
"As for Mr. Duan... you are not allowed to leave Hanhai City for a few months!"
This is... bail pending trial.
Duan Feipeng pouted nonchalantly.
"Got it."
With that, he impatiently waved his hand.
"Can I go now?"
"I'm in a hurry to get home and play some games."
Upon hearing this.
"Then I'll take them away first. If the police have any further leads, they can summon our client."
Director Zhou smiled at the two officers beside him, said this, and then left with the group.
Those two officers followed along with them.
Monitoring + Bail pending trial!
Watching their silhouettes disappear.
Chen Changchun seemed several years older, helplessly retracting his gaze.
"Had a good look?" he asked Xu Liang behind him, helplessly.
Xu Liang smacked his lips.
"Even if I haven't seen enough, what can I do?"
"Captain Chen, why don't you get Duan Feipeng back?"
Detention period was up, and without evidence, they couldn't keep him.
In some TV shows, the cops might provoke Duan Feipeng to make him hit someone, then detain him on assault charges.
If Director Zhou wasn't here, Chen Changchun wouldn't mind giving it a shot.
But with Director Zhou around... doing such a thing would only leave one vulnerable to criticism.
"Alright, Captain Chen, why not handle my case first?"
Xu Liang suggested.
"My employee, Su Yu... do you have any use for her here?"
"If not, I'll have her work for me!"
Su Yu had been at the law firm for several days now.
Xu Liang was eagerly awaiting the chance to exploit her skills!
The less work she did in a day, the less salary he'd have to pay!!!
Chen Changchun responded helplessly, "Whatever you want."
...
...
Five in the afternoon.
Xu Liang left the police station and headed to the law firm on Hongfu Street.
Now that Wu Yong had been captured, and one of the major culprits, Du Ze, had been apprehended, Su Yu naturally had no reason to be summoned again.
There were no issues with the Lawyers Association either.
Xu Liang could exploit her as much as he wanted!
However...
Upon returning to the law firm, as Xu Liang opened the door, two women greeted him and said:
"Something's up, news from the Lawyers Association came."
The just-returned Xu Liang was taken aback.
He began taking off his coat as he asked:
"What news could be coming from the Lawyers Association?"
Yang Ruoxi spoke, "The legal aid from the association is for Wu Yong."
"The evidence of Wu Yong's murder is too clear, plus he's already confessed, so the prosecutor's office filed the case, but he lacks a defense lawyer."
"Wu Yong doesn't have the money to hire a lawyer, and while the Lawyers Association initially wanted to reach out to Chengen Law Firm, they declined upon hearing about the case and recommended our firm instead."
Saying this.
Yang Ruoxi looked at Xu Liang tentatively, whispering as she asked:
"I didn't rush to accept it. I wanted to wait for you to decide."
Hearing this.
Xu Liang pondered for a moment before asking, "What do you guys think?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
This legal aid doesn't lack takers.
This case has blown up, and once the police release the information publicly, the sensation will sweep across the nation!
By then, many top-notch lawyers would be willingly offering to take on the defense for free.
But for Wu Yong, these people would only cause harm!
If Xu Liang took it on, he'd delegate it to his subordinates to handle.
His subordinates were just the two women in front of him.
"I think... we can take it," Yang Ruoxi hesitated before saying.
Su Yu pondered for a moment, giving her reasoning, "Wu Yong made the mistake of killing, but it wasn't entirely his fault."
"He has his guilt, but if we can help, I feel... we should lend a hand."
Hearing this, Xu Liang nodded, "We can take it."
"However, once you take over the case, as long as it's not the death penalty, you can handle it however you like."
This case, indeed, could be handled however they saw fit, though they couldn't win.
Once he stepped out of the police station, it was as if stepping into a tiger's den.
In fact, Wu Yong was almost hoping for a death sentence, as he had shown suicidal tendencies in the past few days...
Xu Liang felt that perhaps being sentenced to decades and living by the book in prison would be best for him.
Of course.
It all ultimately depended on Wu Yong's own wishes.
"If you're unsure, you can first go to the station and talk to Wu Yong, then decide if you want to take it."
"If you decide not to, you can always turn it down."
