Chapter 587: Chapter 390: Stirring the Grass and Startling the Snake! (Part 3)
"Da... da-da-da..."
A sudden set of footsteps echoed through the cold, empty corridor.
The footsteps grew clearer, finally stopping in front of a door.
"Bang!"
The ward door swung open.
Inside, the police officer who had been nodding off jolted alert at the sound, his eyes sweeping the room and locking at once onto the man in a suit standing in the doorway.
"Who are you!?"
On the two hospital beds inside, the men whose hands were cuffed to the bed frames woke up as well.
Only, unlike the startled cop, Sun Hu and Sun Biao weren’t shocked. On the contrary, when they saw who it was, they froze for a second, then shrank their necks, looking a little afraid.
"Who are you!?"
The cop’s face was still tight with suspicion.
"Don’t rush, don’t rush, here’s my ID."
The man smiled, reached out, and passed over the credential he’d obtained from the police.
"I’m the lawyer for Sun Hu and Sun Biao, ’Feng Xiang’. This is my visitation authorization, you can take a look."
Law... lawyer?
A lawyer’s here for this case already!?
Hearing that, the officer’s face showed surprise, but he didn’t doubt it. He took the so-called authorization and glanced through it.
The document checked out.
"Officer, could you step outside for a bit?"
Feng Xiang looked at the cop, gave a polite smile, and said:
"I need some privacy right now with my clients..."
The cop hesitated. "This... this isn’t by the book."
Sun Hu and Sun Biao’s conduct already amounted to endangering public safety. The people they rammed weren’t just Xu Liang and Su Yu; and although no one died, one victim had been hit so badly they still hadn’t made it out of critical condition.
The order he’d received was to guard the two of them around the clock, without a break, to prevent anything happening!
Only...
"Under Article 39 of the Criminal Procedure Law and Article 33 of the Lawyers’ Law, except for special cases, I have the right to hold a private conversation with my clients."
Feng Xiang didn’t put any extra pressure on him; he spoke slowly instead.
At the same time, he pulled out the application document in his hand.
"This is the file approved by the police side. You can take a look."
The cop took it again and checked.
The result was the same as before: Feng Xiang had come fully prepared. His presence here was completely lawful and compliant.
Even the so-called private meeting was standard procedure!
It’s a key point in the Lawyers’ Law: during meetings, police or other third parties may not be present; monitoring or eavesdropping is not allowed either.
Even if there is a camera, the footage cannot be used as investigative material.
"This..."
The officer was still unsure, but he nodded anyway.
"Make it quick, then."
"Of course, I’ll be brief." Feng Xiang nodded.
The cop stood up, pushed open the ward door, and stepped out.
As the door shut automatically—
In an instant, only three people were left inside the ward: Sun Hu and Sun Biao in their hospital gowns with bandages wrapped around their heads, and Feng Xiang.
For some reason, although Feng Xiang was their lawyer, Sun Hu and Sun Biao’s eyes kept dodging his, and there was a faint trace of fear there.
At some point, Feng Xiang’s face had gone completely cold.
He walked to Sun Hu’s bedside, his gaze locking on Sun Hu, while Sun Hu’s eyes skittered away.
In the next instant....
"Smack!!!"
A sharp slap rang out.
A bright handprint bloomed plainly on Sun Hu’s face. His half-healed wounds were instantly pulled; he felt his whole body plunge into dizziness.
That alone showed how much force had been behind it!
Feng Xiang’s expression was pitch-black, his eyes downright chilling.
Seeing this, Sun Biao’s face flooded with terror. He tried to struggle up, but the cuffs bit into his wrists and held him down.
"President Feng, please don’t hit him!"
"It was my idea. If you’re going to hit someone, hit me!"
At that, Feng Xiang gave a cold little laugh, turned, and lashed out with his hand.
"Smack!"
The slap sounded, and Sun Biao’s vision instantly blurred; the world lurched, and he slumped back on the bed, blinking hard, trying to steady himself.
Looking at the pair of them in such a sorry state—
"All I told you to do was get a batch of stamps to use, and you couldn’t even handle that. Instead you’ve stirred up a goddamn mess..."
Feng Xiang’s demeanor bore no trace of a lawyer now; his face was iron-blue as he ground out the words through clenched teeth.
"You two idiots!!!"
