Who Made Him a Lawyer?

Chapter 672: Chapter 426: Xu Liang Preparing for Seduction

Outside Amcor Company.

As soon as Xu Liang walked out of the company’s main entrance, he stopped in his tracks. He turned back to look at the office building, a trace of cold smile appearing on his face.

"The documents and text messages from the Judicial Bureau are the handiwork of the same person."

"This Ye Ji... most likely is a dog kept by Amcor Company, specifically responsible for cleaning up dirty work."

Typically, even criminal enterprises value education, particularly in the realms of law and finance!

Some forces even spend money on sponsoring a child they trust, covering all tuition fees from childhood to adulthood, just to cultivate a talent!

Ye Ji clearly is such a person.

"I think so too."

Yang Ruoxi nodded, not merely agreeing but indeed thinking deeply.

She had even speculated further!

"The manager mentioned by the receptionist who was transferred is just a worker; Ye Ji couldn’t have been groomed by him."

"It must be someone from the company’s top management, and matching this kind of behavior with..."

While speaking, Yang Ruoxi paused and took out a photo from her bag.

"It can only be Amcor Company’s chairman, Wang Chenghua!"

The photo shows a middle-aged man, male, with dark skin, thinning hair on the forehead, thick lips, and a black mole near the mouth corner.

This man is Amcor Company’s boss, Wang Chenghua!

Of course, initially, they didn’t pay much attention to this person.

But this doesn’t stop Yang Ruoxi from showcasing her informational prowess; she had already gathered a file of all suspicious targets she could think of.

Including her own younger brother, Wang Chao, she even felt suspicious!

No other way.

Yesterday afternoon, besides Zhao Jie herself, there were three people present, yet somehow, the details of the conversation were completely known to others.

Firstly, it couldn’t possibly be herself.

Nor Xu Liang, as he was the leading figure in the courtroom, leaving only...

Wang Chao!

This thick-browed, bright-eyed younger brother, she already harbors some suspicion as to whether he is a traitor.

"Not bad, getting smarter."

Xu Liang surprisingly praised her.

She has learned to use her brain and likely guessed correctly... The past year and a half following him wasn’t in vain!

"Now, what do you guess... What’s their relationship?"

Xu Liang suddenly asked again.

Hearing this, Yang Ruoxi paused, furrowing her brow, she placed her hand on her chin, showing a pensive look.

What kind of relationship?

Indeed, from the current viewpoint, the person causing the Judicial Bureau to issue notifications...

Their identity status is definitely higher than Wang Chenghua’s!

And Wang Chenghua proactively uses his company’s ’services’, aiming to eliminate Zhao Jie from other aspects.

What was the outcome?

The outcome is that the person hiding remains completely unseen, Xu Liang doesn’t even know where the person is, up till now there’s no risk of exposure at all!

On the contrary, Amcor... instantly faces administrative cases and the pressure of police investigation.

Thus, certainly, the two cannot be of equal status.

"Subordinate?"

Yang Ruoxi suddenly hesitated, and this word popped into her mind, but then quickly vanished, removed by herself.

"No, doesn’t seem like a subordinate, more like..."

"Curry favor!"

As soon as these words fell, she instantly found the balance point between the two, her eyes lightened up.

"Exactly, it’s curry favor!"

"No matter how influential Amcor Company seems, it’s just a company."

"In the eyes of the common people, Wang Chenghua is indeed impressive, but... from the perspective of those making phone calls..."

Companies capable of undertaking such projects in Upper City are indeed formidable.

At least they possess billion-dollar assets, some even dating back to 2005!

But here’s the problem.

This is relative to the ordinary residents’ perspective.

To those making calls, Zhao De, Zhang Youcai, Wang Hai, Wang Yao, Dean Sun...

Wang Chenghua?

Wang Chenghua doesn’t even count as a fart!

Let alone those who haven’t shown up, only communicating through phone calls...

And the one hiding can use a force equivalent to Zhao De and others to confront them...

Therefore, the status difference between the two is vast, not fitting the word subordinate, only amounting to curry favor.

"Eagerly licking the filthy behind!?"

Yang Ruoxi was somewhat shocked, "Willing to risk trouble for themselves to handle the dirty work?"

"Oh, for this, some people wish they had the means but don’t."

Xu Liang chuckled softly, not surprised by this.

These wealthy individuals are indeed impressive abroad.

But here in Eastern Country, Wang Chenghua may be well-off, but can he surpass Dong Clan?

Dong Clan’s assets alone are in the trillions, yet even a Lin Fuqiang is beyond offending!

"Shall we proceed with an investigation on Wang Chenghua!?"

Yang Ruoxi eagerly suggested, her eyes full of excitement.

A breakthrough has emerged!

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

"Buzz buzz~"

Suddenly, there was a vibration in his chest, disrupting what he was about to say, and Xu Liang paused, taking out his phone.

[Caller ID: Li Tao]

"Hello? Junior? Is something wrong on your end?"

Xu Liang instinctively asked.

The speaker emitted Li Tao’s response, and the other party sounded quite excited.

"Senior, I found the colleagues Zhao Jie worked with before she disappeared!"

Zhao Jie’s... colleagues?

Xu Liang paused and recalled the dreamlike karaoke bar where everyone was replaced.

"Where are they!?" He asked urgently.

"At the police station!"

"Give me twenty minutes!"

...

...

It was five twenty in the afternoon.

At the Upper City Police Department.

"Zhao Jie? She..."

"Don’t worry, even though this is the police station, nothing will be done to you. Just say whatever you want to say."

"Well... alright, you guys should know that people in our line of work aren’t particularly well-regarded. For instance, we’re thought to be crafty, harsh, greedy..."

"Sure, there are those kinds of people, but there are also normal people too."

"Zhao Jie... she was from an orphanage. She was scammed years ago, incurred a huge debt, and had taken out high-interest loans."

"As the interest accumulated, overwhelmed by debt, she was forced to work at the dreamlike karaoke bar as a prostitute... To be honest, Zhao Jie later found out that the scammers and the ones who lent her the online loans were the same group."

In the reception room at the police station.

A woman in her twenties, heavily made-up and with a graceful figure, smoked and commented sarcastically.

Xu Liang sat beside her, silent.

"Later, Zhao Jie resigned to her fate."

"There was no choice but to accept it; once in this line of work, it’s hard to leave... Already ruined, why not do the most degrading thing? On what grounds could she seek self-redemption?"

"After all, even if she does reform, it doesn’t change the fact that she was a prostitute. To marry someone would just be saddling them with baggage."

From these words.....

It seems Zhao Jie was set up into prostitution.

This did not surprise Xu Liang; in this day and age, it’s quite common for beautiful women to encounter such things. The latter part of her words... also proved that Zhao Jie’s worldview remained unchanged.

"Before she disappeared?" Xu Liang asked again.

"Before she disappeared? Heh, in our line of work, what other reason is there to leave the karaoke bar?"

The woman, Wang Li, gestured dismissively, speaking sarcastically:

"Found a wealthy man, and got taken to a hotel for fun."

"Zhao Jie is good-looking. Guys she could get involved with are only those types... Before she disappeared... there seemed to be a guy named Zhuge Rong. I suggest you check him out."

Li Tao: ?

Li Tao, who had just entered society, couldn’t help but blink.

Xu Liang said nothing and fell into thought... In other words, the reason Zhao Jie disappeared is most likely related to the ’wealthy man.’

And this wealthy man is called ’Zhuge Rong’?

Does Upper City have any notable figures with this surname?

Zhu? Or Zhuge?

Xu Liang furrowed his brows, pondered for a long while, and ultimately focused on Wang Chenghua.

If the person knew the true criminal who was hiding, does this mean... they might have also come into contact with Zhao Jie?

"Ms. Wang, have you seen this person?"

Xu Liang suddenly paused and tentatively pulled out a photo of Amcor Company’s chairman, Wang Chenghua.

Wang Li glanced casually and responded without thinking:

"I know him. I’ve played with him. That old man has a mole at the corner of his mouth, easy to spot. He’s a pervert who can’t resist any woman he sees."

"Hmm... and his wife too, she’s been to the karaoke bar."

A pervert filled with lust?!

Xu Liang suddenly raised his brows.

Weaknesses make things easier to deal with; weaknesses offer a breakthrough point!

Perhaps... using this weakness, the truth about the case could be extracted from him!?

As for the method...

"Seduction!"

Xu Liang’s gaze sharpened.

"Who will seduce?"

Yang Ruoxi suddenly startled, looked at the other party warily, then extended her hand to cover her chest resolutely and unyieldingly.

"I won’t do that!"

"No."

Xu Liang took a deep breath, his eyes revealing a resolute expression... even a touch of noble sacrifice.

He took away Wang Chenghua’s photo, revealing the one beneath it, which was a photo of Wang Chenghua’s wife... a middle-aged woman!

"It’s me!"

The other party... is also a pervert filled with lust!

With these two words, the scene left everyone momentarily stunned, their hearts trembling.

Xu Liang took a deep breath, turned to look at Li Tao, extending his hand while undoing his tie, speaking with determined conviction:

"Junior, this is the first lesson I taught you when you joined the law firm."

"On the road to becoming a top-notch lawyer...."

"You will inevitably lose something!"
