Who Made Him a Lawyer?

Chapter 605: Chapter 398: The Court: Is He Up to His Usual Tricks Again? [Double Release—Vote Requested!]

And Xu Liang...

"Went to the detention center?"

In the hospital room, Xu Liang rubbed his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Then suddenly.

A smile flashed across his face.

"Tsk, this guy is probably going to reap what he sowed!"

Looking at him in that state.

In the hospital room behind, Yang Ruoxi, who had just cut the fruit, spoke up:

"Reap what sowed?"

"Oh, nothing."

Xu Liang shook his head, not explaining. He simply looked at Yang Ruoxi, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"How is the contact with the police department going?"

From the start, he had Wang Chao notify the police department.

If his plan worked... then he could move to the second stage, which was... to have Feng Xiang lead them to their ’old home’ voluntarily!

"They’re all keeping an eye on it, but there’s been no discovery."

Yang Ruoxi shook her head and replied, as she spoke, she stuffed a piece of apple into Su Yu, who was lying on the bed, and then fed another piece to Xu Liang.

"No discovery? No matter."

"Something will be discovered soon!"

Xu Liang rubbed his chin and smiled, then paused before speaking to the other person.

"Go and prepare."

"Prepare for what?" Yang Ruoxi was puzzled.

"Prepare for...."

Xu Liang paused, and in the next second, uttered a few words.

"The first trial!"

...

...

At eleven-thirty noon.

Upper City Detention Center.

Inside the lawyer meeting room.

This is a designated place for lawyers to meet and communicate with case suspects.

At this moment, Feng Xiang appeared here.

Just as Qian Feng had said, inside the meeting room, Feng Xiang sat in a chair, silent but anxiously waiting for Sun Hu’s arrival.

He looked at the transparent glass in front of him, his eyes gradually showing bloodshot lines, occasionally zoning out, only to regain clarity in the next moment.

Until...

"Brother Feng!"

A sudden shout came through the speaker.

Feng Xiang snapped back to reality, his gaze focusing as he realized Sun Hu had appeared on the opposite side of the transparent glass.

The other person held a phone and was looking at him, saying something.

"Brother Feng, you wanted to see me!?"

Sun Hu looked excitedly at Feng Xiang, noticing the bloodshot eyes of Feng Xiang, he was slightly surprised, but didn’t think much of it.

Feng Xiang usually wouldn’t contact him, mainly to avoid unnecessary suspicion.

If he was here, did it mean... Xu Liang didn’t find anything, and he could spend a couple of fewer years inside!?

To be honest, Sun Hu wasn’t afraid of prison, having grown used to it, but he feared spending his entire life in there!

Unfortunately....

"Sun Hu, the situation outside has become tense."

Feng Xiang suddenly spoke, a strange glint flashing in his eyes, then he spoke in a low voice:

"Do you and Sun Biao still have any ’stamps’ left in your hands!?"

"If there are any left... you’d better speak up early, and I’ll figure out how to deal with them!"

As he spoke.

Afraid the other wouldn’t believe him, Feng Xiang quickly added: "These past days I’ve felt like the police are onto me. If you’re still hiding... we’re both done for!"

Having finished speaking.

He looked at the other with bright eyes, an unmistakable greed shining in his gaze.

Sun Hu was taken aback on the spot.

Then he seemed like he was pricked by a needle, looking around fearfully.

This is a detention center, how could he dare say that!?

Luckily, the police were orderly and didn’t stay to monitor, which eased Sun Hu’s heart a bit.

He looked up, glancing at Feng Xiang in front, somewhat hesitant.

Feng Xiang had always been very calm and extremely sharp, capable of discerning hidden information through a series of small details.

Theoretically.

’Brother Feng shouldn’t be taking such risks in the detention center.’

Sun Hu frowned, pondering accordingly, then suddenly realized.

’Could it be... something really is about to happen!?’

’But it’s alright.’

Saying it.

Sun Hu whispered: "Brother Feng, don’t worry."

"Biao and I didn’t bring much of that stuff, the ones you took last time were all of it."

"These stamps are different from the usual, they’re high concentration doses. Biao and I were planning to dilute them for selling, but plans couldn’t keep up with changes, and we hadn’t had a chance to dilute them yet."

"There’s none left at home!"

None left!?

Feng Xiang’s face changed, his expression becoming somewhat unsightly.

"Really none left!?"

His tone became urgent, prompting further: "Think it over carefully!?"

Sun Hu assured: "There’s truly none left, Biao and I didn’t take much from back home."

Feng Xiang was somewhat reluctant, continuing to ask.

"What about Sun Long!?"

"After Brother Long died, Biao and I disposed of the stuff, there’s none left!" Sun Hu assured.

However, this fell on Feng Xiang’s ears....

His expression gradually became a bit ugly, flashing colors like neon lights, flickering in varied hues.

For a long while.

Feng Xiang ended the meeting.

He walked out of the detention center, looking at the bustling traffic outside, but inside, he couldn’t stop feeling restless, and at the same time, a wave of hesitation suddenly arose in his mind.

’Without Sun Hu or Sun Long, right now, only the things from the hometown remain...’

Feng Xiang’s eyes revealed conflict, his breathing gradually becoming rapid.

’But the trial is about to start soon...’

After a while.

Feng Xiang disappeared from the detention center, and no one knew what he was truly thinking.

...

...

October 20th.

There were still six days before the first hearing; during these six days, Xu Liang was as if he had taken root, entrenched in the hospital.

At the same time, he didn’t take any actions to investigate the case, seemingly treating this case as an accidental incident.

...

October 22nd.

The last ’stamp’ in Feng Xiang’s hand disappeared, and as he spat it into the trash can like saliva, his whole heart felt hollow, a sense of unprecedented loss engulfing him.

His thoughts gradually turned extreme, with the last bit of rationality continuously making him hesitate and sway.

...

October 24th.

Feng Xiang’s condition was somewhat poor.

He hadn’t closed his eyes for two days; every time he closed his eyes to sleep at night, an inexplicable sense of irritation would surge within him.

His mind was strung tight like a bowstring, always on the verge of snapping.

He began to become irritable, prone to anger, the whole person seemingly turning into a beast, unreasonable!

...

October 25th.

Feng Xiang couldn’t bear it any longer.

The last shred of rationality in his mind was erased, he got into the car and hurried off to a distant place overnight.

Until...

...

...

October 26th!

The day of the trial!

"Huh, why is it this kid’s case again!?"

"And it seems like he’s the victim... Tsk, got hit by the other party then personally took up the case, this kid sure holds a grudge."

One o’clock in the afternoon.

Upper City, inside the Intermediate People’s Court, in the waiting room.

Judge Liu clicked his tongue in amazement with his fellow colleague.

This case is handled by the Intermediate Court, theoretically, it’s not supposed to fall under Chief Judge Liu, but that’s just in theory.

Theoretically, no one dares to fool around in the Upper City Court!

Therefore, to deal with such occurrences, the court decided to proceed cautiously, appointing Chief Judge Liu, who has experience with Xu Liang, as the presiding judge for the first hearing.

"Tsk, I kind of miss Chief Judge Zhao."

Chief Judge Liu said to the judge beside him, and upon hearing this, the two judges also sighed and said:

"Indeed."

"Previously, Judge Zhao could be transferred to handle things, but now we have to face it ourselves... There’s always a sense of foreboding."

"Sigh, who knows what kind of mischief he’s going to pull...."

Chief Judge Liu took on Xu Liang’s case.

The young master’s case back then.

During the first trial, he and the transferred Zhao Yi were responsible.

From that moment, he realized why Xu Liang was treated cautiously by Zhao Yi.

Let’s put it this way.

After the second trial of the young master’s case, Liu Shi almost faced punishment!

Because the failure to uncover it during the first trial meant that under his watch, two of the largest criminals in the country almost escaped.

Liu Shi spent several months in fear before finally feeling somewhat at ease.

Right now....

It’s happening again.

"How did he handle his last case?"

Liu Shi couldn’t bear it.

As the trial time was approaching, he hurriedly turned to his colleague, cautiously asking:

"I remember he... didn’t attend the first trial, right?"

The other two judges thought for a moment, then nodded solemnly.

"Correct!"

"He didn’t attend the first trial, and it was only in the second trial that the ’Hunter’ case was brought up!"

Not attending the first trial left the prosecutor and the court hanging.

The opening of the second trial claimed the Dong Clan treated Sanma Village as a hunting ground, killing for amusement!

This stark contrast between trials, which judge wouldn’t be infuriated!?

"Where is Xu Liang!?"

Liu Shi couldn’t help but ask the bailiff beside him.

The bailiff, upon hearing this, promptly replied, "Chief Judge Liu, Lawyer Xu was just resting in the waiting room, preparing for the trial."

"Are you sure he’s at the scene!?" Chief Judge Liu verified once more.

The bailiff nodded, "I’m certain."

Upon hearing this.

Chief Judge Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Xu Liang was present on site, then basically no tricks would be pulled... even if there were, he could guess based on the traces left by the other party.

With this thought in mind.

Confidence surged within Liu Shi’s chest, he looked up at the clock, and a mild smile appeared on his face.

"Let’s go, it’s almost time, we...."

Saying this.

Chief Judge Liu stood up, slowly making his way to the trial site.

"It’s time for the trial!"
