Who Made Him a Lawyer?

Chapter 668: Chapter 424: Terrifying Identity Speculation (2)

"This case needs..."

"To be planned in the long term."

After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the car, Yang Ruoxi hesitated to speak, but eventually followed without saying anything discouraging.

As for Li Tao... he still wore a confused expression, scratched his head, and then followed along.

...

...

The next day, November 9th.

AM.

Upper City University Affiliated Hospital, in the ward.

"How is it going?"

"If it really doesn’t work... should we notify the police? To be honest, I don’t think he can really run rampant..."

Yang Ruoxi woke up and saw Xu Liang, who hadn’t slept all night, showing a worried expression as she got up.

Su Yu on the hospital bed didn’t know what happened but refrained from interrupting, just quietly watching.

Xu Liang was sitting on a chair, maintaining one posture the whole night.

Hearing the noise, he shook his head.

"I’ve thought it over, it’s not feasible."

"This information is simple, the police likely already know and are investigating."

"And if we contact them... to be honest, the risk is high, don’t forget, I still don’t know how Chao and I’s conversation was leaked."

In other words.

There’s someone on the police side unknown to him!

Under these circumstances, actively seeking police cooperation is like an old man hanging himself, courting death!

Who knows if the person he trusts is the one investigating...

"Then what do we do?"

Yang Ruoxi showed a worried expression.

Being Wang Yao’s daughter, as long as she’s in Upper City, nothing could happen to her, but she worried Xu Liang might be in danger.

"Wait."

Xu Liang simply uttered a word.

Wait?

Not only Yang Ruoxi, but even Su Yu beside was also puzzled.

"Wait for what!?"

Su Yu exclaimed, speaking as she straightened up and sat at the head of the bed.

Her body had recovered well, allowing her to undergo rehabilitation training after a month and a half.

"Wait..."

Xu Liang was about to say something but at the next second...

"Buzz buzz buzz~!"

The phone suddenly vibrated.

Xu Liang’s eyes narrowed, his heart skipped a beat, "It’s here!"

After speaking.

He took out his phone.

[Caller ID: My Mentor]

"Hello? Teacher?" Xu Liang greeted.

As soon as his voice fell, a reply came from the other end, with an elderly voice asking.

"Did you offend someone?"

Xu Liang paused and responded, "What do you mean?"

On the other end.

In the judicial bureau, Wu Chengjun held the file report in his hand, his brows furrowed into a knot, speaking deeply:

"Your application to establish a branch office in Upper City... currently is rejected."

"This morning’s notice mentioned about ’Feng Xiang’ case, the Upper City Judicial Bureau has started to strengthen the judicial environment handling, instituting strict audit standards for individual lawyers and law firms."

"Your law firm... was found to have penalty records within the past two years, not meeting the criteria for establishing a branch!"

"It’s very sudden, logically, such a small issue shouldn’t be..."

Which means...

The data review failed!?

Xu Liang suddenly paused, subconsciously looked up, while Su Yu and Yang Ruoxi were also slightly stupefied, the three exchanged glances.

The plan to advance to Upper City... even one foot had stepped in, how could this suddenly happen!?

"Which penalty record?" Xu Liang inquired.

"Regarding ’Zhao Hailong’." Wu Chengjun holding the file in his hand, replied:

"Remember back then, the case where Wang Feiyu and those kids were collectively reported?"

Xu Liang briefly thought and quickly understood.

Back then in Lanshan Province, there was a case where disabled kids were abducted and sold after organ harvesting.

During that time, the mastermind ’Kimchi Factory’ lawyer Zhao Hailong and Cheng Jia tried to drag Xu Liang down using underhanded tactics, thus setting up a trap for Wang Feiyu and Xia Yao.

This directly led to the law firm receiving a stop-business rectification notice from the judicial bureau.

However...

"This matter wasn’t turned over!?"

Yang Ruoxi on the side widened her eyes, somewhat incredulous.

"How is that possible? You know, the law firm was even established in Qingshi City, if there were issues... I and Maoxian would still be in Hanhai City now!"

After Zhao Hailong was caught, he quickly confessed about setting a trap for Wang Feiyu and others.

So, theoretically... this punishment should be revoked!

"That’s why I asked if this kid had offended anyone!"

Wu Chengjun cursed under his breath, yet his gaze was extremely serious.

The notice received in the morning seemed right, but also somewhat off.

After all, Feng Xiang was indeed caught using drugs and even helped Feng Jiancun and others in Feng Village handle many dirty tasks. Almost no one in the law firm is clean, so issuing this document seems normal.

But the problem is... why was Xu Liang’s punishment record brought up again!?

The two matters paired together, no matter how you look at it, something feels off...

"Teacher, can you inquire for more details?"

Xu Liang pressed for answers.

"For example... who suggested this rectification notice."

It’s targeted...

Those texts from last night... the other party must have some leverage.

Their supposed fearlessness... seems to be true!

"This..."

Wu Chengjun frowned, not that he’s afraid of trouble, but it’s very likely there won’t be any result.

"Before making this call, I already checked."

"They all say it’s orders from higher-ups. Beyond that, I have no authority, only your teacher’s supervisor might be able to check. But looking at the current level, it’s hard to intervene..."

Teacher’s supervisor?

Zhao De?

But Zhao De is the vice president of the Supreme Court, wouldn’t it require someone of his rank to investigate? Even then... it might not be possible.

"Gulp~"

Yang Ruoxi and Su Yu’s eyes twitched, their throats rolled.

Zhao De’s rank... is not ordinarily high.

Listening to Wu Chengjun’s words, who on the other end of the phone... could it be?

"Alright, I understand, take care of your health, teacher."

Xu Liang took a deep breath, kept his composure, and hung up the phone.

The pressure is coming...

No wonder the other party had the confidence to say such things!

However...

"It’s likely borrowed influence, and the person who issued the document doesn’t know about Zhao Jie’s matter, even the real culprit... is young."

"Young, yet able to leverage power..."

Xu Liang felt a bit of a headache, but didn’t think of backing down, and instead turned to Yang Ruoxi.

"The problem isn’t just this one."

He waited all night, just to see if the other party is truly fearless!

If not, he’d immediately investigate, but if so... he can only engage in a battle of wits and attempt to uncover the truth!

Of course, he dares to investigate not recklessly.

"The aftermath of the stamp case isn’t over yet, and in the upcoming months, I might face some trouble, life-threatening... maybe, but I bet they wouldn’t dare!"

Xu Liang’s mind was tumultuous, yet he remained calm and clear.

The seizure of 13.24 tons is enough to hold a small meeting in Upper City, even those participating in the meeting would be shocked!

And as someone who contributed to the case, he absolutely cannot afford an accident in the short term.

If he were to encounter any trouble, it would certainly trigger a full investigation by Upper City.

The real culprit behind Zhao jie’s case, perhaps with a strong background, could casually use leverage, just with a word, and his law firm wouldn’t be able to establish.

But... this is Upper City!

There’s never a shortage of those with bigger backgrounds, Xu Liang may not have anyone backing him, but he can leverage the gravity of the case!

"Let’s count on one month, within this month, I’ll investigate as much as I can!"

Xu Liang’s gaze solidified, determining his current ’safe period’, then looked up at Yang Ruoxi.

"Who is the lawyer for Amcor City Pipe Engineering Company?"

Last night he was responsible for thinking, his opponent for investigating, now it’s time for the opponent to report the findings.

The opponent didn’t disappoint him.

She decisively responded:

"A lawyer named Ye Ji, male attorney, responsible for the defense of the defendant in this case."

Ye Ji?

Who is this opponent?

Xu Liang fell into contemplation; he had gained a rough understanding of Upper City’s personnel influence during this period, but was unaware of who Ye Ji was.

"Never heard of him." he said.

Yang Ruoxi paused, then added:

"I’ve never heard of him either."

"I checked his credentials... very clean, no case records, studied overseas during university, not from a prestigious firm."

"The law firm he belongs to is relatively unknown, only three people including him, the other two are untraceable."

"It’s like... he suddenly emerged from the cracks of a rock!"

Emerged from the cracks of a rock?

Xu Liang paused, and the next second, a word emerged in his mind.

Is this...

Private lawyer!?

The culprit... what exactly is their identity?

He remained silent for a long time, ultimately determining his resolve.

"Find someone, first investigate how Zhao Jie disappeared!"
