Who Made Him a Lawyer?

Chapter 391: Chapter 278: Courtesy Follows Approaching

To be honest, Xu Liang loves to engage in endless competition and even pushes those around him to do the same.

Senior Brother Lin Fuqiang, Second Senior Brother Li Yang, Teacher Wu Chengjun...

Even Judge Zhao Yi!

All of them were forced to work themselves to the bone, dragging themselves up.

As for his former rivals like Zhang Cheng and the others who live like salted fish, he can’t stand hearing about them!

And so...

Two o’clock in the afternoon.

"Beep beep beep~"

Zhang Cheng hung up the phone, sat in his chair, staring blankly for a long time.

The two people beside him exchanged looks, and finally couldn’t hold back, stepping forward to ask:

"Old Zhang, what did that demon talk to you about!?"

Hearing this.

A dazed Zhang Cheng finally came to his senses, his eyes rolled as he glanced at the two, hesitated for a moment, and finally said:

"You might not believe it, but the demon... no, Lawyer Xu invited me to join Conscience Law Firm."

Join Conscience Firm...

Upon hearing this, Qian Li and Liu Xun paused simultaneously, then anxiously said:

"Join my ass, it could be a trap for you!"

"Did you forget how badly you were screwed over during the trial? Did you forget the shame of a death sentence in the first trial and being acquitted in the second!?"

Qian Li nodded tearfully, clenching his fists and said forcefully:

"That’s right, he’s a beast!"

Fighting against the Six Ministries, during their investigation he defended Hanhai City’s underground leader Wang Hai and questioned the approved clues at trial...

Honestly.

Thinking about it now makes Qian Li feel afraid.

But thinking that it was Xu Liang who guided him at the police station back then makes Qian Li feel a resentment he can’t express.

What a trap... Qian Li has never seen a lawyer more of a trap than him!

"No, I think... we should consider joining."

Zhang Cheng was tempted.

He calmed down, briefly escaping the shadow of Xu Liang, and analyzed carefully.

"The reason we’re like idle fish, besides seeing through fame and fortune, isn’t it because we might run into him again!?"

Hanhai City is only so big.

He wasn’t particularly famous back then, any case we took had the potential of bumping into him.

So the three of us simply became recluses, avoiding direct confrontation.

Don’t say we’re cowards!

Director Zhou from Hanhai wasn’t a coward, Liu Kun from Sunzhou wasn’t a coward, and Zhao Hailong from Jiang City even outplayed Xu Liang!

But what was the result?

"Moreover, Conscience Law Firm is quite reputable, and Lawyer Xu plans to expand directly in Qingshi City... which is the provincial capital!"

"He could probably advance to Upper City soon!"

Zhang Cheng was genuinely tempted.

Just by joining his firm, not even mentioning the reputation and strength it brings, the mere fact he wouldn’t have to fear running into Xu Liang in the future was enough to attract him!

But still...

"Do you really think we’re qualified!?"

Liu Xun suddenly spoke, offering counsel.

"Their firm’s people are elites from Upper City, with connections and skills, the three of us started from scratch; if we joined, wouldn’t we just end up serving tea and pouring water?"

Qian Li nodded, "That’s right, there is a difference even among lawyers!"

Hearing this, Zhang Cheng wavered too.

After a long while, he sighed and said:

"In that case... we won’t go, let’s continue our contract with Chengen Law Firm."

Their contract was up, and they’re at the point where they could leave if they wanted, and stay if they wanted to renew.

If they leave, the firm wouldn’t force them to stay.

What a joke.

Manager Sun was now numb, these three strongest ones resolutely wouldn’t take major cases, only taking minor civil cases to earn money to drink and play.

When asked to mentor trainees, their first sentence is ’A lawyer shouldn’t be too competitive’!

What a joke, if a lawyer isn’t competitive, what’s the point of being a lawyer!?

But who knows when the three might come in handy, so Manager Sun just let them stay.

"Wait, what do you mean by ’we’?"

Liu Xun suddenly spoke, asking.

Zhang Cheng said casually:

"I meant the three of us."

"Lawyer Xu said I should ask if you two want to go, and if so, he’ll take you all in."

That is to say, the person he’s recruiting isn’t just Zhang Cheng, but also Liu Xun and Qian Li.

So...

"But then again, we shouldn’t underestimate ourselves too much!"

Qian Li suddenly spoke, with a serious face.

"Looking at Lawyer Xu’s track record."

"Beat Director Zhou, kicked Liu Kun, wiped out Zhao Hailong."

"These are all old, well-known lawyers, renowned far and wide, capable of ranking even in Upper City."

"Yet they were still taken down!"

"And we weren’t arrested, doesn’t that in a way, prove we’re stronger than them!?"

"If we’re strong enough, then joining Conscience Law Firm, wouldn’t it be a strong alliance!!!"

Xu Liang has faced many opponents.

But only the three of them survived!

Even Wang Hao, who was in charge of Duan Feipeng’s second trial, had his reputation greatly affected!

Doesn’t this suggest that... they’re stronger than Director Zhou and the others!?

Zhang Cheng was stunned, staring at the person in front of him in a daze.

He really hadn’t expected the other party to say something like this!

"That’s right!"

Another voice sounded beside him.

It was Liu Xun, sharply dressed in a suit, very properly attired, looking seriously at Zhang Cheng.

"Lawyer Zhang, I have a dream."

"When I was young, I always dreamed of joining Director Xu’s law firm to contribute a little to the world."

Zhang Cheng: ???

He recognized every word,

But how they were combined made no sense to him?!

Also...

"Wait, when did you start wearing suits!?"

Zhang Cheng was stunned, his face showing a mix of shock and befuddlement, his voice rising:

"And how come you’re already calling him Director... you haven’t even joined the Conscience Law Firm yet!!!"

"It’s only a matter of time."

Liu Xun replied expressionlessly: "You know, Director Xu has always been my guiding light. Now that the opportunity has arisen... I naturally cannot let it slip!"

After he finished speaking.

He exchanged a glance with Qian Li, and without another word, they began to drag Zhang Cheng outside.

The three of them first discussed briefly with the manager.

The manager didn’t object, saying it was necessary to stay here or anything like that. He just asked the three to handle the handover of their ongoing tasks and then proceed to HR for the transition.

But the truth is... the three of them didn’t have any tasks to handover!

The manager immediately lost patience and told them to get out quickly.

...

...

At four o’clock in the afternoon.

A car raced towards Qingshi City and soon parked beside Tianshan Hospital. Three people got out of the car after opening the doors.

Zhang Cheng took out his phone to inquire about something, and then quickly led them towards the hospital cafeteria.

"Squeak~"

The cafeteria door opened.

Zhang Cheng and the other two almost instinctively glanced towards the corner, where Xu Liang was eating.

An involuntary sense of fear surfaced in their hearts, but then they remembered they were here to join him, so there was no need for fear.

Just as they stepped forward, but....

"Judge Zhao!?"

Zhang Cheng suddenly stopped, bewildered as he looked at the silent figure eating in front of Xu Liang, feeling a wave of confusion wash over him.

Noticing the commotion, Zhao Yi glanced back and nodded before turning his attention back to Xu Liang.

"You’re quite something, really impressive."

"Daring a last-minute evidence presentation in the High Court!"

Zhao Yi spoke through gritted teeth, his face darkened as he spat out the words.

He was at the hospital assisting other departments with a case verification, but didn’t expect to run into Xu Liang during lunch.

"What last-minute evidence presentation?"

Xu Liang shook his head, spooning some food into his mouth, "I didn’t ambush anyone. Those pieces of evidence were found the day before the hearing, and there wasn’t enough time to present them, so I brought them up in court."

Hearing this, Zhang Cheng and the other two unintentionally twitched their eyes.

If they guessed correctly from these two sentences... does it mean that any court judge could face indiscriminate challenges from him!?

Daring a last-minute evidence presentation in the High Court... Isn’t that something only the Supreme Court can discipline!?

"Nonsense, you’re just acting innocent!"

Zhao Yi said angrily, instantly causing an uproar.

"You’re telling me all those documents were discovered and organized overnight!?"

"I’ve always been exceptionally skilled at organizing things since I was young." Xu Liang responded.

"Do you dare to swear you weren’t targeting Blue Shield Law Firm?"

Zhao Yi grew even more furious, once the second hearing ends, the High Court will hold the first hearing for the human experimentation matter.

Who will serve as the presiding judge for the first hearing?

First of all, this person needs to have ample experience and an impressive track record.

Secondly, they must possess robust resilience and a calm mind.

Moreover, they should have experience dealing with cases investigated by multiple departments together!

So... who will it be...

Even using his toes to think, Zhao Yi could figure it out!

Thinking about the future, he can’t help but feel pessimistic.

Despite having moved to the High Court, he can’t seem to escape the shadow of Hanhai City...

"What does Blue Shield Law Firm have to do with me?"

Xu Liang said, "I’m simply presenting the case, having never slandered Chai Shiring and Sha Jin, nor intending their dissolution."

"I never said you wanted them dissolved." Zhao Yi suddenly interjected, "Those are your true thoughts, aren’t they."

"Xu Liang, you claim you didn’t specifically target them by suggesting a second hearing!"

Xu Liang remained silent.

Zhao Yi silently kept his gaze on him.

After a while, Xu Liang suddenly spoke again:

"How boring, old man go manage your business, I need to discuss compensation with Mr. Zhang now!"

Once he finished speaking.

Xu Liang got up, moved to another table, and warmly looked at Zhang Cheng and the other two.

Zhao Yi’s mouth twitched, but he chose to ignore them, continuing his meal, while Zhang Cheng and the other two exchanged looks before eventually approaching him.

However.

Zhang Cheng didn’t immediately jump into discussing the case, rather he started gossiping. freewebnσvel.cøm

"Blue Shield Law Firm? Is that Lawyer Chai’s Blue Shield?"

Zhang Cheng sat at the table, curiously watching Xu Liang.

"Director Xu, what happened to Blue Shield Law Firm?"

He remembered that Blue Shield Law Firm was in Lanshan Province, with the richest lawyer resources and the strongest capability, conveniently located in Qingshi City.

Zhang Cheng had anticipated that he’d eventually contact this firm and create conflicts.

But just now, Xu Liang’s words hinted at... Blue Shield seemed to have encountered troubles?

"It’s nothing, they just lost a case, that’s all."

Xu Liang chuckled.

Lost a case!?

Isn’t that normal, even Chai Shiring doesn’t win every single one. Losing a case is common, how does that affect the firm?

"What case?" Zhang Cheng asked suspiciously.

"It’s complicated to explain in a few words, but I suggest you..."

Xu Liang paused, offering advice:

"Keep an eye on tomorrow’s newspaper."
