Who Made Him a Lawyer?

Chapter 441: Chapter 328: He Is Not a Shyster!

Meanwhile, in the Supreme Court.

"Are you saying he wants to appeal?"

"Yes."

"What’s the reason for the appeal?"

"It seems that during the first instance stage, the evidence presented by the plaintiff was incomplete, leading to public opinion tarnishing the defendant’s reputation. Therefore, the plaintiff initiated the appeal to clear the defendant’s name."

"Hmm?"

Inside the office.

Wang Yao listened to the voices around him, his eyes full of confusion.

He tilted his head slightly, looking at the documents, his mind stagnating and crashing.

What does it mean for the plaintiff to clear the defendant’s name?

Oh, it’s not like similar events haven’t happened before, such as some false accusations where the plaintiff might confess everything due to various reasons.

But Xu Liang...

"This isn’t a false accusation, so why is he appealing?"

Wang Yao murmured.

To be honest, he didn’t think Xu Liang would be so kind to help Zhu Haoyi and Li Yang.

Firstly, the cases fought by the other party often stand on the side of ’justice,’ without needing to consider the opponent’s feelings.

Secondly...

Regarding the other’s morality, with Zhu Haoyi and Li Yang being defamed and slandered, Wang Yao would bet his reputation that Xu Liang’s first reaction would be to celebrate rather than appeal!!!

His reputation is much more valuable than Xu Liang’s, and still credible.

"That’s also what the Supreme Court thinks."

The subordinate spoke, cautiously probing as he looked at Wang Yao in the office.

"Chief Judge Wang, should we..."

"No need, did the registration office ask you to give me the case, is that the dean’s idea?" Wang Yao said calmly.

The subordinate nodded.

"Yes, the dean intends for you to be seconded to the Supreme Court to act as the presiding judge to ensure no further issues arise with the case."

Xu Liang is very bold.

This appeal is quite puzzling; even with just a thought, the Supreme Court can imagine that Xu Liang must have come up with some mischievous plan!

We need to have a heavyweight to keep things under control.

It’s not just about capability, but more about the status—being the head of the Supreme Court’s Criminal Court... It’s a position at the very top of the judiciary nationwide!

It’s impossible for the counterpart to suddenly ambush with evidence against Wang Yao, isn’t it...

"Why me..."

Wang Yao gave a wry smile.

But on second thought, there really aren’t many people at the Supreme Court who can bear this pressure, and being part of the Criminal Court fits the professional criteria, so it makes sense.

So, Wang Yao waved and said:

"You go ahead and work, I know about this matter."

The subordinate nodded and soon turned to leave.

As for Wang Yao...

He sat in the chair, originally intending to write some materials, but his mind was as chaotic as a beehive. After writing a few words, he got stuck, so he simply stopped writing and leaned back in his chair to start pondering.

Wang Yao had witnessed this litigator’s growth, step by step, from a small lawyer to his current state!

He knew well about this guy’s calculations.

"If it is an elaborate scheme, then the 47 million compensation in the first trial definitely wasn’t his aim."

"Is the goal to send the defendant in?"

Wang Yao sank into deep contemplation.

"But if that’s the case... why waste the opportunity of the first trial?"

"Couldn’t they have directly convicted the defendant of criminal liability during the first trial? That way, even if unsatisfied, they could appeal for a second trial, but now, the counterpart wasted one opportunity and chose a second trial...."

"If the evidence presented in the second trial isn’t sufficient, there’ll be no opportunity left!"

"So... why waste the first trial?"

For a long time, Wang Yao couldn’t figure out the reason behind Xu Liang’s appeal.

But it was precisely for this reason; the more he thought about it, the more curious he became, wanting to figure out the other party’s true intentions!

Eventually, he shifted his attention to his daughter.

"Xiaoyang works at her law firm, she should know something...." thought Wang Yao genuinely.

At this moment, he didn’t care about avoidance anymore, looked at the clock on the wall, and decisively clocked out from work.

...

Wang Yao never liked overtime; he had strived in his youth, and in old age, he should enjoy a peaceful life!

Unlike Wu Chengjun, or Zhao Yi who is forced to strive, Wang Yao thought they both deserved it, squandering their youth and being chased around in old age.

Luckily, his position in his later years is high enough to lead a stable nine-to-five, clocking-out-after-work life.

Wang Yao rode a bicycle back to the house allocated by his workplace.

It’s a residential building, fairly well renovated, with a somewhat lavish style overall.

The moment he entered the door, Wang Yao called out loudly.

"Honey! Honey!"

The voice was thick, and soon there was an echo.

"Honey for what, honey? Could you have a bit of class!?"

A gentle tone mixed with a woman’s discontentment sounded, Wang Yao turned to see Yang Jing, his wife, and the mother of Wang Chao and Yang Ruoxi, standing at the kitchen door, wearing an apron and holding a spoon, looking at him.

Since Yang Ruoxi left Hanhai City, Yang Jing moved to Upper City too, where the couple lived together.

"What’s up?" Yang Jing asked Wang Yao with curiosity.

"Where’s Xiaoyang?"

Wang Yao looked around; there were two people inside.

One was Yang Jing, the other was Wang Chao lying on the couch, giggling while watching TV.

Yet Yang Ruoxi wasn’t in sight, he was perplexed.

"Xiaoyang went to Professor Wu’s courtyard." Yang Jing turned back to the kitchen, casually speaking while cooking.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yao’s heart trembled, followed by a bit of resentment showing on his face, muttering:

"Eh, not even coming home..."

"Clearly, this is home..."

Since her arrival in Upper City for quite a while, nearly two-thirds of the time was spent at the courtyard!

On the other hand, his home, as her old father, she would occasionally stay when she felt he seemed like a lonely old man.

Upon hearing this.

Wang Chao on the couch turned his head, looking at his father, and kindly reassured:

"Dad, it’s okay, I’m here with you...."

"Get lost!"

Wang Yao snapped back directly.

He looked at Wang Chao impatiently, feeling his palm growing slightly warm.

Although it had been almost two months, Wang Yao still remembered how this kid led Liu Jinshui, bypassing the Middle Court and the High Court, directly bringing him to the Supreme Court to file a complaint....

If it’s not possible, take it to the prosecutor’s office or even the police station!?

Does it have to be the Supreme Court where his father is!?

Was it you who brought Liu Jinshui into the village!?

"Dad..." Wang Chao felt a bit wronged.

"Get lost, as far as you can." Wang Yao rolled his eyes.

Immediately, he sat on the sofa, waiting quietly.

He refused to believe that Yang Ruoxi would really let him become a lonely old man without coming to see him!

...

Wang Yao believed it.

For three days consecutively, he didn’t see Yang Ruoxi, and Wang Yao began to doubt his life.

Until...

August 9th.

As Wang Yao clocked out after work and opened the door.

He miraculously saw an elegant silhouette on the sofa, the person lying on the sofa watching TV with no concern for appearances, resembling a wriggling snail.

This person was Yang Ruoxi!

Yang Ruoxi lazily lifted her head, glanced at Wang Yao, and Wang Yao felt overwhelmed.

Indeed, his child still loved him; it was only a week, and she came home to see him once!

Of course, Wang Yao didn’t forget the serious matter, and he sat next to her.

"What’s wrong?" Yang Ruoxi asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"That litigant..."

Wang Yao frowned, starting to ask questions.

In four days, he still hadn’t figured out the real purpose of Xu Liang’s appeal!

"What is that litigant trying to achieve with the appeal for the second trial? Is there something fishy about Zhu Haoyi’s case!?"

Wang Yao wondered.

The other party must have understood the ins and outs of the entire case before the first trial ended, but even then, why drag it until the second trial?

Was it intentional, or was there another reason?

Yang Ruoxi questioned back: "Are you talking about Xu Liang?"

Wang Yao nodded, just as he expected a response from her, he saw...

Yang Ruoxi’s face suddenly showed anger, and she said angrily: "Xu Liang is not a litigant!!!"

"Why are you slandering someone’s innocence!?"

"Dad, you’re so hateful!"

After speaking.

Yang Ruoxi angrily got up, returned to her room to change from her pajamas, dressed casually and attractively, and headed out.

"I’m not coming back tonight, I’m staying at Professor Wu’s place."

As her voice dropped, the door was closed by Yang Ruoxi.

Leaving Wang Yao on the sofa, feeling disarrayed.

Is... is this still his daughter!?

...

...

August 6th.

Xu Liang was not at the courtyard, but had gone to National Security.

Regarding the ’Young Master Sauce One’ implicated by the locator, National Security planned to proceed with the arrest.

"Straight arrest? No worries about the hierarchy or anything else?"

Xu Liang, after reviewing the plan, felt their approach was simple and unrefined, but that doesn’t obstruct...

"As long as it works!"

"In the past, when we collected evidence, we always found someone to lure people away, then sneaked into their house to search."

"Though lacking technical content, it’s undeniably effective!"

Within National Security, Zhang Tian checked his sidearm while smiling broadly at Xu Liang. Xu Liang twitched his mouth slightly but said nothing.

Indeed, the name of National Security carries weight, making many believe the place is akin to those in spy war films.

But in reality, this place focuses more on results.

As long as the outcome is good, the process doesn’t matter. There is intrigue, but far less effective compared to simple and rough methods!

"Today, Young Master Sauce One will hold a meeting in the Capital City, during which there will be ten minutes without officers around him."

"Just storm in and detain him!"

As words were spoken.

Zhang Tian toyed with the metal chunk in his hand.

He pulled with his left hand.

"Click!"

The crisp sound echoed, it was indeed a brand-new handgun!

Evidence had been gathered, the arrest notice applied and approved.

Whether to worry about the hierarchy of Young Master Sauce One.....

Let’s just say, in terms of level and position, there shouldn’t be anyone in Eastern Country higher than Young Master Sauce One right now!

The other party has set up a massive information relay network, and if nothing unexpected happens...

Once caught, the entire network could be eradicated instantly!

Upon hearing this, Xu Liang understood.

Just then, Zhang Tian threw something towards Xu Liang.

"Know how to use it?"

Xu Liang caught it, finding it was a... handgun?

No, not a handgun.

Zhang Tian grinned: "It’s a stun gun, won’t kill anybody, just don’t fire it at the head at close range, and it keeps you safe."

"Of course, don’t lose the gun, if you lose a gun in Upper City... well, even if it’s just a stun gun, it’d be the end for me."

Xu Liang nodded, acknowledging it.

Seeing everyone ready.

"For this arrest, we’re secondary, the main strength is the security department, our target is the network under Young Master Sauce One!"

"Understood? If you understand...."

Zhang Tian swept his gaze around and then breathed deeply, saying:

"Action!"
