Who Made Him a Lawyer?

Chapter 697: Chapter 438: Countering with the Enemy’s Plan! (Part 2)

"Bring him over." Wang Hai spoke.

"Yes."

The Police Superintendent obeyed and promptly closed the door.

Not long after.

The door was pushed open again.

"Creak~"

As the door opened, a figure slowly walked in.

Wang Hai glanced over, revealing a look of surprise, the tension on his face gradually easing, and he joked:

"Oh, isn’t this Lawyer Xu? How come you have time to visit this old man?"

The person entering was none other than Xu Liang!

At this moment, he was cheerfully closing the door, then turning to look at Wang Hai, approaching him, eyes scanning around.

For a long while, he finally directed his gaze at Wang Hai.

"Uncle, where’s Zhuge Rong’s information?"

"I heard from Xiaoyang that you’ve been investigating something?"

As he spoke, his eyes continued to wander.

Seeing this.

Wang Hai was somewhat speechless.

Indeed, he had expected the other person to come asking for information... but why is his gaze so shifty!

An outsider in an office of this level should remain focused, afraid of seeing something they shouldn’t, but instead, this person... had a look of indifference as if nothing could faze them.

Desperate to see everything in sight!

And indeed, that’s the case.

Xu Liang thought that, after all, he wouldn’t get into trouble, so why not look around, maybe he’d stumble upon some internal information?

In business, you know information is money, especially official information!

"Stop searching; Zhuge Rong’s identity is right here."

Wang Hai was somewhat speechless, as he pulled open a drawer again.

Then he tossed a document and a photo onto the table.

"Take a good look. If nothing goes wrong, this person is indeed him... Hmm, don’t worry, Zhuge Rong can’t mobilize much power."

"The judiciary is his limit; his family upbringing is quite strict... Although, God knows how he escaped back then."

As he spoke.

Wang Hai smacked his lips, shaking his head: "I guess even his brothers don’t know he’s still alive."

To be honest, Wang Hai began not to believe it.

Why?

Because when matching the identity, the background of the other party and the power mobilized by Zhuge Rong were completely two extremes!

The implication isn’t that the family background doesn’t match the power.

But rather, the family background is too vast!

Theoretically speaking, if the other party truly wanted to target Xu Liang... even Zhao De couldn’t stop them, could only barely hold off, but the best outcome would be leaving the Upper City, even going to Hai City would be better than staying here.

But then there’s the problem.

Zhuge Rong clearly wants to target Xu Liang, but why can the other party still resist!?

Wang Hai came to a conclusion, which is... the family of the other party doesn’t know he’s still alive!

"The only one alive now is indeed Zhuge Rong himself; everything from his past has been cut off, and the so-called judicial notice... should be from those who know part of his identity but didn’t pursue it excessively." Wang Hai said truthfully.

Upon hearing.

Xu Liang didn’t immediately speak.

He just lowered his head, looking at the information and photo in his hand.

Xu Liang first glanced at the photo. The appearance of Zhuge Rong in it was greatly different from what he imagined, primarily the face!

In his mind, the face was rather arrogant.

But the other person’s appearance was more alert, only with an uncontainable fury hidden in his eyes!

Next is the information...

Xu Liang looked over, suddenly paused, and then frowned.

With just a glance, he raised his head to look at Wang Hai, frowning:

"Uncle Wang, there’s a problem with this information."

"Why is it the same as the information given by the welfare institution?"

What information did the welfare institution provide?

The registered fake information for the identity ’Zhuge Rong’!

Before 1984, there was no trace of the person’s identity at all.

"His information can’t be retrieved."

Wang Hai spoke truthfully.

"Can’t be retrieved!?" Xu Liang was slightly stunned.

Wang Hai nodded.

Then he took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

Xu Liang handed him a lighter accordingly, the flame rising as Wang Hai looked at the attentive person with an odd gaze but said nothing, just took a deep breath.

"Hoo~"

"The reason I can confirm the identity of the other party earlier... is just through appearances to suspect, then constantly recalling to remember." Wang Hai said truthfully.

So...

"Who exactly is this person!?" Xu Liang looked perplexed.

"Can’t even retrieve information!?"

Let it be known, the person in front isn’t Wang Chao.

Not the so-called precinct officer!

But Wang Hai, the real bigwig.

"It’s not that it can’t be retrieved, it’s that retrieving the information will be very troublesome."

Wang Hai frowned, worries creasing his brow.

"Firstly, the other party died twenty years ago, the files deleted, only from specific places can they be sorted out through procedures."

"But... as long as procedures are handled, it will definitely alert the family of the other party."

"At that time, if the other party becomes suspicious... the waters will be even murkier!"

"You... can’t kill him. You might even cause Zhuge Rong to profit from the disaster, abandoning the false identity to live with his real one!"

Xu Liang was startled.

Then, as if he had realized something, he asked again, "Is it because of the problem that caused his original identity’s death?"

Wang Hai nodded.

He didn’t hide anything and casually said,

"That’s correct."

"You should know how strict the judicial system was back then."

"The reason Zhuge Rong discarded his old identity so disgracefully... was because he was accused of rape, abuse of power to molest, and causing someone’s pregnancy followed by the victim’s suicide."

Xu Liang responded, "Just these?"

Wang Hai nodded, "Just these."

It’s hard to imagine someone with a background like Zhuge Rong would have had to resort to a skin-shedding escape because of such charges.

But that’s the reality.

"Back then, even if you were a thug lurking around the women’s restroom, you’d likely face the death penalty!"

But.....

"That was then, and this is now."

"Let’s not even talk about the statute of limitations, just the current judicial environment..."

Wang Hai smacked his lips and stopped talking.

Xu Liang naturally understood what he meant.

The current judicial environment is very lenient. If Zhuge Rong comes to the surface, what would he face?

First, a retrial and judgment.

Second, the issue of his identity investigation.

But this raises problems too.

First, the current judicial environment doesn’t possibly impose the death penalty!

Regarding these crimes, being sentenced to twenty years is already the maximum, not to mention he could get a reduced sentence and even be accompanied by top-notch lawyers.

Second, this also cannot lead to a death sentence!

Therefore, once Zhuge Rong is exposed, the outcome for him could only be restoring his original identity, with his authority further amplified.

The other party might even thank Xu Liang!

Of course, this depends on the willingness of the other party’s family to accept him, which seems likely not to happen given the strict family traditions Wang Hai mentioned.

But there’s always that chance.

"Tsk..."

Xu Liang fell into deep thought, remaining silent for a long time.

After a while, he solemnly asked a question.

"His identity... to what extent can it be revealed?"

Upon hearing this.

Wang Hai, who was smoking, paused before slowly speaking,

"Zhuge Rong... he indeed bears the surname Zhuge!"

Upon hearing this.

Xu Liang suddenly shuddered, and raised his head seriously to look at Wang Hai.

"Really?"

Wang Hai nodded, "It is indeed true."

At the moment those five words settled.

Xu Liang knew that the other party indeed wasn’t lying.

Thinking about the opponent’s previous actions, in the current judicial environment, hoping to kill the adversary is 100% impossible.

Therefore...

Let him go?

That’s impossible!

Though the judicial notice wasn’t quite troublesome for Xu Liang, it still unnecessarily cost him a lot of favors.

Those are favors from people like Zhao De, Sun Qian, the two deans, and Wang Hai!

If they were to openly say those favors could be exchanged for money...

Do you believe it, a stream of people wielding tens of millions of cash would line up!?

So...

He can’t let it go!

However, if this is the case, another problem arises.

How to kill the opponent?

"Given this..."

Xu Liang’s eyes suddenly flashed, a murderous voice emerged.

"Let him die again!"

Wang Hai was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"He committed crimes and was sentenced to death before 1983... I’ll consider him already dead."

"But now, I will use the crimes he committed later to make him die again!" Xu Liang impulsively said.

Even without mentioning his changed identity, or the responsibilities before the change.

Just Zhao Jie alone is enough to warrant a death sentence!

As for what to do with the change of identity, whether or not to revert it?

No need.

Since the other party now recognizes himself as Zhuge Rong, then Xu Liang will use that momentum and directly let the other face trial and death as Zhuge Rong!

"This..."

Wang Hai was about to say that the investigation should be taken gradually, but upon seeing Xu Liang’s seriousness, he immediately realized something and quickly asked,

"What have you found out?"

Xu Liang nodded slightly, then took a deep breath and solemnly said,

"Uncle Wang, have you heard of..."

"Red Heart Charity Relief Institution?"
