Free Web NovelChapter 258: Chapter 192: Buy Starch Sausage, Get a Free Legal Consultation_2
Yes!
It must be a prank!
Thinking of this, Boss Hao’s fear receded like a tidal wave, and now, filling his heart was sheer anger!
Good grief, let me see who dares to fool me!
I’ll make them pay, I’ll have my cousin who’s a deputy officer arrest them!
Whoosh!
Opening the door once again, what met Boss Hao’s eyes was a familiar face.
How could it be standing right in front of him?
It even blinked!
Damnit!
A few days ago, when the family came to make a scene, they carried it to my office.
Back then, my hand didn’t even tremble as I smoked and calmly called the police.
Now... now...
Feeling an urgent need to pee.
This ghastly face, the slight stench of decay in the air, this...
So lifelike!
This feels like no joke.
The dead, have come back to life!
"Don’t come near me!!!"
"Boss, I’d like to discuss about my work-related injury compensation, my family’s really struggling, we have elderly and kids, and my younger siblings are still living off our parents..."
"Here, I’ll give you, how much do you want! Is a million enough? Not two million!"
"Boss Hao, you truly are a good boss, thank you."
As he spoke, Boss Hao watched helplessly as his former employee bowed to him. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Bang, bang, bang.
Glug glug.
Boss Hao looked down, locking eyes, the employee revealed a bright and pure smile.
"Thank you, boss."
...
Valve City. freewebnøvel.coɱ
Decent District.
On Step by Step Street, people coming off night shift, though well-dressed, couldn’t hide their fatigue.
In the dead of night, what could comfort the soul was...
Skewers, BBQ, bubbles, the enticing aroma invigorating, inducing saliva.
The street had small scattered stalls, filled with a lively atmosphere.
However, one street vendor with a little cart stood out, his attire mismatched—immaculate suit, mask, gloves, exuding cleanliness, below the cart’s sign were numerous "test reports", looking neat and hygienic.
The cart’s advertisement read —
"Unboned Starch Sausage/Professional Lawyer/Buy 3, get free legal consultation."
Oh man, I have read it, walked all the way from Ke Chen City to Valve City, seen it all, yet never a sign like this.
Must be a con?
Anyway, a starch sausage isn’t pricey, just as I have read it arrived in Valve City, some issues needing answers, deciding to purchase three sausages, inquiring what’d happen without a Valve City passport, sneaking in, getting caught.
As I have read it decided to buy three starch sausages, this "professional lawyer’s" Bluetooth headset flickered and he spoke:
"President Hao, convenient, I’m still working, how much did you say to give?"
"..."
"Two million? Isn’t that too much?"
"..."
"Alright, no trouble, I’m already working, but going to the employee’s home now, lawyer fees must increase."
Saying this, Lawyer Hao tapped his Bluetooth headset twice, seemingly ending the call.
Looking up, he just saw I have read it.
Lawyer Hao paused, this outfit...
A bit unconventional, who wears frog-eye glasses at night?
Yet as a lawyer, seen it all.
Lawyer Hao soon gathered his thoughts, preparing to close up, tonight the lawyer fee from President Hao, deducting firm costs, profits far surpass sausage sales all night?
"Customer, sorry, I have a case, closing up tonight, do you still want the two remaining starch sausages?" Lawyer Hao took off his mask, smiling apologetically at I have read it.
"It’s okay, okay, I want them."
"One for three, two for six."
"Paid, I really just want legal advice, eating the sausages doesn’t matter, just wanting to know a professional lawyer, can I add a contact info?"
"Certainly, any questions, after adding contact, leave me a message, I’ll reply when free, one question 1000, billed via firm."
"Uh... I’ll wait until you’re open to consult, three sausages just nine bucks."
"...fine."
Conversing, Lawyer Hao’s hands didn’t pause, quickly packing the cart, pushing it into the nearest office building, receiving security help putting it in storage, leaving, renting a bike, opening map for navigation, heading off.
Though unsure why President Hao didn’t negotiate a lower price, it’s fine if clients have demands, lawyers perform without excessive inquiry.
After all, raising the price to two million, what couldn’t be negotiated? The initial family price was only one hundred and fifty thousand.
Quickly wrap up this compensation case, free up energy for others.
This sum, good deed, rare.
Thinking this, pedaling harder.
Puff puff...
Puff puff...
Lawyer Hao, while preoccupied, mainly relied on GPS for navigation, minding less the surrounding, though lawyer’s intuition suggested someone might be following.
Yet looking around, no one appeared tracking.
Perhaps done too many wrongful deeds, reconciling this case, redeeming virtue...
Lawyer Hao adjusted attitude, continued pedaling.
Pedal by pedal, Lawyer Hao moved from Decent District into Competitive District.
Having continuously followed were I have read it, munching sausages, considering...
Since taking Lin Hao’s Calming Pill, I have read it found controlling already contained objects increasingly adept, spiritual sensitivity sharpened.
From Ke Chen City heading to Valve City, several times using spiritual sense to dodge wilderness dangers.
Today, after receiving starch sausages from Lawyer Hao, I have read it sensed an instinct.
Though this lawyer seemed ordinary, why did following him seem it’d lead to desired containment object?
I have read it sought containment object possessing "commanding presence", able to suppress and coordinate existing contained objects, planned years, even decades searching.
After all, containing "commanding presence" only produced by a dungeon-world leader, rarely stumbled upon?
But following instinct, no loss.
Watch and see...
Quickly, I have read it finished two sausages, Lawyer Hao arrived at the deceased employee’s home.
Outside, white lanterns and ribbons hung.
Inside, light faintly visible.
In Valve City, normal people sleep late.
Checking time, not yet 4 AM, should still be awake.
Lawyer Hao tidied hair disturbed by night wind, raised hand, knocking on the door...
"Knock knock."
As expected by Lawyer Hao, soon after knocking, someone inside asked:
"Who, who’s there?"
Voice awkward, dry, as if someone unaccustomed to speaking, trying to articulate...
"It’s Lawyer Hao, here to discuss about your family’s... that work-related compensation case."
Initially Lawyer Hao aimed to call deceased’s name, but tongue-tied, resorted to "that" to refer.
Forgetting name reasonable, since taking on compensation, Lawyer Hao intended to resolve via mediation, case delay reduced compensation, hence remembering deceased name less crucial.
Clack.
Old wooden door creaked open, Lawyer Hao saw person inside, sensed familiarity, but pondered, where seen before?
Professional lawyer, Lawyer Hao swiftly recalled where...
On the morgue’s freezer.
Back then, seeing him, remarking to parents,
"Hasten mediation, quicker payout, expedite children’s cremation."
At the encounter, accompanying parents standing, he lay still.
Lawyer Hao: "..."
