Chapter 671: Chapter 426: Xu Liang Preparing to Seduce
"Hello, my name is Ye Ji, the defense lawyer for Amcor City Pipe Engineering Company in this case."
Looking at Xu Liang in front of him, Ye Ji showed a gentle smile.
"And of course, also your appeal attorney."
The voice fell in the hall of Amcor Company, echoing in Xu Liang’s ears.
He slowly turned around, his expressionless face glancing at the other party.
This is... Ye Ji?
The one from the investigation, not belonging to a boutique law firm, nor a red circle firm, not even an Upper City lawyer, Ye Ji!?
Xu Liang flashed a smile, looking at the other with interest.
Ye Ji stood tall, about 1.8 meters in height, weighing roughly 160 pounds, around thirty-five years old, with a resolute face and a steady demeanor.
Before this, Xu Liang had never heard of this person.
Not even in the investigation did he uncover which cases the other party had handled!
"Lawyer Ye... hehe, it’s an honor to finally meet you." Xu Liang said sarcastically, while stepping forward to offer his hand.
Ye Ji clearly picked up on the sarcastic tone, as his identity was practically invisible...
However, his composure was quite commendable; he did not get angry and instead extended his hand to shake the other’s.
"Nowhere near, compared to you, Lawyer Xu is more renowned."
Ye Ji brushed off the remark jokingly.
Then paused briefly, and as their hands parted, switched the subject.
"By the way, has Lawyer Xu come to the company this time... to demand compensation?"
Before the other party could respond, Ye Ji promptly replied:
"On this point, you can rest assured, Amcor City Pipe Engineering Company has clearly expressed its position to me."
"The company is willing to compensate the victims of the case beyond the standard of criminal law!"
Overcompensation...
Typically, in cases of such operational errors, overcompensation is often made.
Even when the case is a sure win, it’s the uncertainty of Zhao Jie’s case that has led others to avoid it; for ordinary cases...
The case would have been taken on by others long ago, with exorbitant compensation requests!
Moreover, when clients are unable to convey information externally... the defendant can also offer ’benefits’ to the plaintiff’s lawyer, to silence them!
But Zhao Ji...
With a meaningful glance at the other party.
"No rush on the compensation."
Xu Liang did not take the bait, seemingly ignoring the implications embedded in the words, and cheerfully said:
"Lawyer Ye, prior to coming here I learned about Amcor Company, the company adheres to a policy of cleaning once a year, only doing temporary cleaning before heavy rain or snowfall."
"Yet, in Upper City there hasn’t been any so-called extreme natural disasters in recent months."
"But strangely enough, my client Zhao Jie shows signs of being repeatedly corroded by cleaning fluids over a short time....."
While speaking.
He squinted slightly, suddenly speaking:
"How does the company explain this?"
"Furthermore, I have the right to speak separately with the workers who performed these actions!"
These two questions were straight to the point.
Firstly, multiple cleanings... if the company knew about it, the doubts would magnify infinitely, enough to validate Xu Liang’s hypothesis of ’targeted eliminations of Zhao Jie’!
And the other party would resort to countless lies to cover for one, until the loopholes grew larger and exploded uncontrollably.
If claimed ignorance... coincidentally, Xu Liang would then have the opportunity to interrogate the responsible worker!
"As you mentioned, prior to the heavy rain, the pipes needed maintenance."
Ye Ji paused slightly, then collected himself, took a deep look at Xu Liang, and subsequently pulled out a document:
"Lawyer Xu, on September 15th, Upper City’s weather forecast was very pessimistic during those few days."
"Thus, the company instructed workers to clean the pipelines to avoid inability to drain during a disaster."
"During execution... the company mismanaged, resulting in multiple cleanings of the same pipeline!"
"Ultimately, leading to harm to Ms. Zhao, for which we feel deeply sorry..."
While speaking, he handed over the document to Xu Liang.
The document was none other than the weather data broadcast by the TV station around September 20th!
However...
"That rain never came." Ye Ji said gently.
"As for the workers... sorry, it involves"
Sound reasoning.
Logical rigor, even reinforcing Xu Liang’s point, forming a complete loop.
Unfortunately...
’If not for the text message incident and a judicial notice... huh, I might actually believe you.’
Xu Liang coldly laughed internally, not taking the document.
Only...
"Regarding the judicial bureau, things should be largely resolved."
He suddenly expressed this sentiment thoughtlessly.
And in that instant...
The look in Ye Ji’s eyes noticeably paused, fleeting confusion flashed briefly but vanished quickly, adeptly hidden, he lightly laughed and said:
"Please, go ahead."
Xu Liang gave him a deep look.
Superbly disguised, but alas, cannot deceive me!
"Let President Wang, Wang Chengguang, wait then."
With that, he stopped paying further attention to the other party.
Turned and walked out without hesitation, Yang Ruoxi at his side seemed thoughtful, glanced at Ye Ji, and naturally followed Xu Liang out.
Leaving Ye Ji alone at the original spot, silently watching their figures until they disappeared.
"Where is President Wang?"
Ye Ji suddenly looked towards the front desk.
The receptionist who had been listening without understanding was suddenly startled when called upon, sheepishly said:
"President Wang is in the office."
"Okay." Ye Ji nodded, without any delay, quickly left.
...
...
"This person has no ties with the judicial bureau, the current situation can roughly determine an overall judgment."
