Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 62 - 58: I Have No Morals!

Sui Shan kept mumbling about himself!?

Li Cui and Sun Li felt a jolt in their hearts, their expressions nearly faltering, their eyes transfixed.

After a long pause, Li Cui swallowed her saliva and forced a stiff smile:

"Did Qian say anything?"

After speaking, the two stared directly at Xu Liang, their heartbeats gradually speeding up.

Xu Liang nodded in front of them.

"Sun Qian’s mental condition is good!"

Sun Qian’s mental condition is good!?

Li Cui’s eyes suddenly turned bloodshot, her breathing becoming somewhat rapid.

"What... what did she say?"

Beside her, Sun Li noticed her abnormality and quickly explained, "I haven’t seen that girl for 13 years, I’m a bit emotional."

Xu Liang chuckled and said, "I understand, I understand."

"Naturally, everything that should be explained has been clearly explained."

"However, no matter what, Sun Qian just won’t say why she was abducted back then."

Xu Liang suddenly sighed, his gaze lowered, yet he subtly observed the two’s every movement.

"She didn’t say?" Li Cui’s pupils shrank instantly, revealing confusion and fear, "Why didn’t she say!?"

"I don’t know."

Xu Liang comforted the two.

"Maybe it’s been too long, the memory’s a bit blurry."

At these words, the two in front visibly breathed a sigh of relief, but Xu Liang’s next words instantly raised their nerves to their throats.

"But, Sun Qian has been conveying to the police that she wants to meet you two!"

Xu Liang’s face was full of smiles as he patted their shoulders.

"She said seeing you might help her remember something!"

"That’s also why I wanted to meet you two."

Looking for them?

No, initially it wasn’t Sun Quan’s parents who were sought, but instead failing to find the parents, Li Cui and the others contacted them by coincidence...

Yang Ruoxi’s eyes widened.

But her eyes rolled slightly, so her little face was tense as she added beside:

"That’s right."

Receiving a confirmation of the answer.

Li Cui felt her mind go blank, panic showing in her eyes, her vision darkened, and her balance faltered.

Xu Liang promptly supported her, asking with concern, "What’s wrong? Is something happening with your health?"

Li Cui rubbed her temples, got up, and forced a stiff smile, stammering:

"Low blood sugar, low blood sugar..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Liang quickly said, "Low blood sugar, well, that’s a minor issue."

"Why don’t we go see Sun Qian first?"

"Maybe when she sees you two, she’ll immediately remember something."

At this suggestion.

Li Cui, who had just stood up, again felt weak in her legs.

"No!" Li Cui instinctively rejected, her voice loud enough to startle the nearby police officers.

"What’s wrong?" Xu Liang displayed curiosity.

"I... haven’t seen her in 13 years, how can she meet just the two of us first..."

Beside her, Sun Li responded vaguely.

Upon hearing this, Li Cui rushed to echo, "She should meet Quan’s parents first... Yes, she should meet them two first!"

After speaking.

The two gave Xu Liang no chance, directly stating:

"We’ll contact her parents first, then meet together when everyone is here!"

"Lawyer Xu, you can go ahead with your work, we won’t disturb you!"

With that.

No matter whether Xu Liang agreed or not, the two hustled off, fleeing as if from the police station’s lobby.

Watching their departing figures.

Once they disappeared from view, Yang Ruoxi couldn’t help but say:

"Those two have a problem!"

"Sun Qian was kidnapped 13 years ago... were they behind it!?"

Yang Ruoxi frowned.

Their inability to manage expressions made it obvious; with just a slight manipulation of information, they exposed significant flaws.

This isn’t how normal relatives would react.

More accurately, it’s impossible for a concerned relative to respond this way upon knowing the other’s mental condition is complete!

"Should we just report Zheng Mei directly!?"

Yang Ruoxi suddenly thought of something and enthusiastically said to Xu Liang.

Police haven’t acted against Zhou Xu’s mother, Zheng Mei, because... there’s no evidence linking her to the kidnapping 13 years ago!

The only one knowing the kidnapper, Sun Qian, is very mentally unwell.

Thus, rashly apprehending them would only alert them prematurely.

Moreover, Xu Liang alone doesn’t have the energy to investigate two cases simultaneously.

But now things are different.

"If Sun Qian’s kidnapping is indeed connected to Li Cui, and the kidnapper is Zheng Mei, then Li Cui and Zheng Mei definitely know each other!"

"Catching Li Cui can lead us to Zheng Mei!"

Yang Ruoxi’s logic was clear and thinking rapid.

Looking at it this way, Zheng Mei getting caught is just a matter of time.

However...

"The biggest obstacle we face isn’t Sun Qian’s kidnapping, but Sun Quan!"

"And the fact that Sun Quan caused Zhou Xu’s intentional injury leading to death!!!"

Xu Liang shook his head, not losing sight of priorities; protecting Sun Quan is the most important task at hand.

"So, what does this mean..."

Yang Ruoxi understood, furrowing her brows.

"Li Cui is currently useless?"

Indeed, from the current perspective, she is useless.

But!

"I told you, to be a lawyer, you need to have a thick skin and a black heart!"

In the police station lobby, Xu Liang once again put on a smiling face.

With just a slight shift of his eyes, a sinister plan formed in his mind!

Thick skin and a black heart?

Yang Ruoxi was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"The one influencing Sun Quan is Zhou Xu."

"So who can make Zhou Xu stop influencing Sun Quan?" Xu Liang threw back a question.

Yang Ruoxi paused, and a name instinctively came to mind.

"Zheng Mei?"

She hesitated to speak, instantly understanding Xu Liang’s intention, her small face full of surprise.

"You want Zheng Mei to sign an understanding letter!?"

The understanding letter is extremely important in criminal cases.

If Zheng Mei signs an understanding letter regarding Sun Quan killing Zhou Xu... Sun Quan would only serve a few years at most!

It’s impossible to get the death penalty, it might not even exceed ten years!

But...

"Sun Quan killed her son, even if the son was a human trafficker, but he was still Zheng Mei’s son..."

Yang Ruoxi expressed her view, "How could she possibly sign an understanding letter..."

If there was money involved, it would be easier.

But Sun Quan couldn’t even gather ten thousand, and Xu can’t afford to lose money on this deal.

How would Zheng Mei sign the understanding letter for no reason!?

"Right, she definitely wouldn’t... but Li Cui has arrived!"

"You need to know, the reason the police couldn’t catch Zheng Mei is that there’s no evidence of her human trafficking back then!"

"Without evidence, there’s no way to prosecute; if not prosecuted, Zheng Mei can live freely."

"And now, evidence has come knocking on our door..."

The Zhou Family used to have evidence, but they were tight-lipped and refused to mention Zheng Mei during investigations.

Now it’s different.

Li Cui has come!

She could easily report Zheng Mei, which would draw out other trafficking incidents tied to Zheng Mei and ensure her conviction.

Xu Liang continued to speak with a smile:

"What if we tell Zheng Mei that Li Cui has already sold her out..."

"As long as she signs the understanding letter, we won’t prosecute?"

Zheng Mei might be furious, after all, it’s her son who died.

But...

If she doesn’t sign, she would surely face death!

Half a month has passed, Zheng Mei must have calmed down from the grief of losing her son, and as long as we propose it, she... would most likely agree!

However...

"Is it right to trade their freedom for an understanding letter? This is not right!"

Yang Ruoxi displayed a worried expression.

"Why isn’t it right?" Xu Liang asked with a smile.

"They’re executioners! Despicable creatures..."

Yang Ruoxi turned red-faced, desperately trying to dissuade Xu Liang.

"Besides, even if it means death, Sun Quan wouldn’t want them to live; abandoning the prosecution in exchange for an understanding letter is truly inappropriate."

Indeed, seen from that angle, it’s inappropriate.

But...

"What if I lack morals, don’t keep my promise, use the understanding letter, and burn the bridges by directly accusing Zheng Mei afterward?

Xu Liang looked at Yang Ruoxi with an intriguing expression.

"Hmm!?"

Yang Ruoxi’s eyes widened, and she stood there, unable to recover for a long time.

Un... unethical!?

Is this right? Using and then burning bridges!?

Wait...

It kind of works.

Yang Ruoxi hesitated.

This kind of exchange inherently holds no legal effect, but the understanding letter is substantial.

Even if Xu Liang breaks the promise and prosecutes, Zheng Mei surely can’t openly claim that the understanding letter was obtained by not disclosing evidence of her trafficking, that would be self-sabotaging...

Most importantly.

After the first trial, they would quickly proceed to the second, leaving no chance for the other party to overturn the case.

Directly accuse Zheng Mei after the trial closes, there would be no time for her to apply for a retrial!!!

"This... this..."

Yang Ruoxi was shocked.

She felt a strong amazement, looking at Xu Liang with a look of astonishment.

A door to the unknown was slowly opening before her!

The case, can it really be handled this way!?

Getting something for nothing!?

"Hmm~?"

Xu Liang nodded with a smile, winking with a meaningful look.

"Hmm....."

Yang Ruoxi exchanged a mischievous look back.

They winked at each other, like two sly foxes scheming something.

"Hmm!" Xu Liang nodded.

The next moment...

"Let’s go, find Zheng Mei."

Xu Liang didn’t hesitate, turned, and walked away.

Yang Ruoxi quickly followed, her heart pounding beneath her chest, and a peculiar expression on her face.

To be honest, just thinking about what’s about to happen...

She couldn’t help but want to laugh!
