Chapter 544 - 378: Abandon Dong Feiyu! The Dong Clan’s Concession!
Chapter 544: Chapter 378: Abandon Dong Feiyu! The Dong Clan’s Concession!
If the other party harbored any thoughts of revenge....
"So you decided to come alone rather than letting others take the risk...."
Huang Ren suddenly realized, looking at Xu Liang’s thin figure, his eyes full of shock.
It’s not just the investigative ability; it’s the sheer audacity that others can’t match!
So....
"Stop calling me team leader all the time!"
Huang Ren took a deep breath and struggled to stand up. It felt as if a massive weight was pressing on his shoulders. But when he straightened his back, his eyes became resolutely determined.
If a lawyer can think this way.
How could he, as a prosecutor, fall behind the other party!?
If they couldn’t think of these things, it was because their minds were constrained by past experiences with ordinary cases, which was understandable.
Then....
"If the defense lawyer is risking danger to put clues in our faces, and we remain indifferent... that’s an attitude problem!!!"
Huang Ren’s eyes sharpened. He took a deep look at Xu Liang and then, without any hesitation, turned decisively and led his people out.
"Pursue the case to the end!"
With that said.
The public prosecution team all vanished from sight.
And Xu Liang, at that moment, also tidied up the documents alone and slowly walked out.
But....
He initially intended to drive back to the law firm to avoid unwanted attention after leaving the courtroom.
However, he didn’t expect to be instantly surrounded by countless reporters the moment he stepped out of the trial venue.
"The defense lawyer is out!"
A voice rang out, and the next second, countless figures enveloped Xu Liang in the blink of an eye.
Then.
At least seven microphones were thrust in front of him.
"Lawyer Xu, do you have anything to say in response to the public opinion about you?"
"Has the second trial reached a conclusion, and has a verdict been announced?"
"Lawyer Xu, I just saw Family Head Dong Tianbao at the courthouse. Is it related to you?"
"Would Lawyer Xu agree to a special interview? What was your mindset after obtaining the victim’s family information from Liang Yu, leading you to find the defendant Lv Xiong? Does this touch on the most basic ethical aspect of the legal profession!?"
"...."
Countless chattering questions appeared before him.
It was obvious.
These journalists hadn’t entered the courtroom; they were waiting outside, wanting to be the first to get a dedicated interview.
For this reason, they were unaware of the Dong Clan’s presence and even more so the specifics of the case!
"Hehe."
Xu Liang looked at the crowd just a few steps away, showing impatience in his eyes.
As always.
People in the legal field and media personnel don’t usually get along!
Besides, among the people in front, there might be those who helped tarnish his reputation!
He had no interest in boosting their work performance, much less....
He needed to focus on the progress of the case!
Thinking of this, Xu Liang frowned and rudely reached out to push aside the people around him.
"Make way, make way!"
"Sorry, all I can provide is that the second trial is favorable to us. For more details, please ask those who were in the courtroom. I have other things to attend to!"
Generally, it’s not easy to shake off reporters once they latch onto you.
But Xu Liang didn’t have any other strengths.
Except for strength!
With his martial arts master skills, he merely stretched out his hand, and with a bit of force, he immediately cleared a path.
The next second, he vanished from everyone’s sight.
Seeing this, some reporters on-site didn’t look pleased.
However, they didn’t curse; instead, they shifted their attention to another point.
"The second trial... currently favors the defendant!?"
"That’s strange; wasn’t the first trial declared a suspended death sentence!?"
"The second trial has just begun; how is it already favorable to the defendant? Shouldn’t it be a struggle for survival..."
The crowd hesitated and exchanged words.
Indeed.
In a normal case, a suspended death sentence in the first trial would leave hardly any room for debate in the second trial, let alone a complete reversal of the situation!
The last time they heard such news.... it was last year, in one of the cases Xu Liang handled.
"Let’s wait for those on-site!"
The crowd thought twice but couldn’t figure it out, eventually deciding to wait for those from the scene.
Unlike usual.
After a trial, reporters would rush out quickly, eager to interview the involved parties.
But in this current case... both Xu Liang and the prosecution had been out for a while.
Yet, the on-site reporters were nowhere to be seen!
As everyone grew anxious, craning their necks to look inside but still seeing no one, almost losing patience and ready to enter....
Several people, their faces full of terror, as if their souls had been drained, walked out with empty eyes void of spirit.
These are... reporters from the courtroom!?
Everyone was startled, rushing forward, asking suspiciously:
"What’s going on with you guys?"
"Forget it... how did the case go? How is the defendant’s situation favorable?!"
"A suspended death sentence in the first trial... could the second trial really overturn the verdict!?"
Overturning a suspended death sentence....
Any lawyer who handles such a case could boast about it for a lifetime!
Let alone overturning it in a prosecutor’s hands, and even doing it in the High People’s Court!
Yet, the reality was even more astonishing.
The reporters from the courtroom looked at their colleagues, hesitated to speak, their eyes still filled with fear, took a gulp, and finally said:
"In this case, the deceased might... not have been killed by Lv Xiong."
Not Lv Xiong? So it means... there truly is going to be a reversal!?
Everyone was amazed, further questioning in confusion:
"Then who is it?"
"Also, I seemed to see some people from the Dong Clan leaving earlier... and they didn’t seem to be in a good mood. What’s going on with that?"
A series of questions irritated the few.
