Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 107 - 103: Million-Dollar Commission! Zhang Cheng and Liu Xun Checking Out!

"Lawyer Zhang, Lawyer Liu, will you take the case?"

Manager Sun looked unwillingly at the two lawyers sipping tea in the corner.

Who are Zhang Cheng and Liu Xun?

The former is from the Chen Dong case, Lawyer Chen Wei, hmm, was a Chengen Law Firm's top-notch lawyer sentenced to death in the first trial and betrayed by the client in the second.

The latter is even more straightforward.

Liu Xun was about to start his defense for Zheng Mei when Zheng Mei immediately struck twice...

The impact of these two cases obliterated their spirits.

After returning to the firm, they seemed to have found enlightenment in Buddhism, beginning to drink tea and retire, and the two went from being rivals to friends who talk about everything.

"Say something!"

Manager Sun asked hopefully.

Honestly, he was a bit unhappy, after all, having two money-makers slack off had quite a big impact on the firm.

But there was nothing he could do; however, if he could awaken them with a high commission fee now... Wouldn't it be like hitting two birds with one stone!?

Moreover, the two of them represent the peak of Chengen Law Firm, they are definitely qualified to take the case.

However...

Zhang Cheng and Liu Xun glanced at each other, then spoke in unison:

"Not taking it."

"Handling a criminal case occasionally to get by is enough... Why develop an intense competitive spirit when doing nothing?" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Upon hearing this, Manager Sun instantly fell silent.

A lawyer without a sense of competition!??

"Really not taking it?" Manager Sun wanted to make one more attempt.

This is a million-dollar case...

"We said no, so no it is!"

Zhang Cheng waved his hand irritably, feeling a chill upon hearing about criminal cases.

Last time, if he had agreed, the two stabs Liu Xun received might have landed on him, but instead, he didn't fight for it and escaped a disaster...

This case offers such a large reward; who knows what kind of traps might be waiting!

Liu Xun also impatiently waved his hand, but after a thought, he said:

"Isn't there Qian Li in the firm? Manager Sun, go see Qian Li."

Chengen Law Firm claims to have two top-notch lawyers, but among lawyers, it's always the big fish eating the small fish, so naturally, other lawyers in the firm are dissatisfied.

Qian Li is one of them.

This person is extremely capable, and also graduated from a prestigious university. After joining Chengen Law Firm, he achieved numerous successes in just a few years!

But he had always been overshadowed by Liu Xun and Zhang Cheng...

Mentioning this person, Manager Sun thought about it and looked toward the office hall.

In an instant, he spotted a tall young man, and his throat moved.

"Lawyer Qian, what do you think..."

At this moment.

Qian Li, surprised to hear his name mentioned, instinctively stood up and looked at Manager Sun incredulously.

"Manager, you mean..."

"Lawyer Qian, no one in the firm is taking the case, do you have any interest in trying it?"

Manager Sun spoke warmly.

He trusted Qian Li's abilities.

Although his qualifications and shrewdness weren't as strong as Zhang Cheng and Liu Xun yet, given time, he could certainly become the third top-notch lawyer in the firm!

If this commission were successful, maybe even... the third one this year!

"I... can take it?"

Qian Li was thrilled.

"You can!"

Manager Sun had high hopes, with a gentle smile on his face.

Upon hearing this, Qian Li stood up excitedly and said:

"Manager Sun, I can give it a try!"

"Good, Lawyer Qian, I'm counting on you!"

Manager Sun was overjoyed and immediately handed the commission to Qian Li, then patted his shoulder while looking at the surrounding people in admiration:

"Everyone should learn from Lawyer Qian!"

"This is the fresh blood the firm seeks—young, full of energy!"

"I have high hopes for you!"

After speaking, Manager Sun painted some more big pictures before leaving satisfied.

As for Qian Li...

Gazing at the commission in his hand, his heart was full of warmth.

Honestly, he felt like he was having a streak of luck, being wonderfully surprised, feeling light as a feather!

A major criminal case... For a lawyer, this is a case that brings fame!

In the past, such a case would be fiercely contested by Zhang Cheng and Liu Xun!

Even if he wanted to, he couldn't compete, but now...

It's finally his turn!?

If he wins this case, not only can he earn millions, he might even become famous, while Zhang Cheng and Liu Xun continue to slack off as he takes on more cases...

Amid such rises and falls, how could the two of them compete with him?!

The firm's three major lawyers?

No!

He wants to stand out singularly!!!

Thinking about this.

Qian Li calmed down, glanced at his colleagues' envious gazes without showing it, and carefully placed the documents into his briefcase.

"Everyone, keep busy, I'll go handle the case."

With those words, Qian Li couldn't help but walk toward the exit of the firm.

Before leaving, he cast a contemptuous glance at Zhang Cheng and the others, and then disappeared from everyone's view.

Zhang Cheng naturally noticed this look.

"Ha, young upstart."

He chuckled, lying comfortably on the recliner, continuing to leisurely drink tea.

Beside him, Liu Xun was doing the same.

"Stubborn kid."

"Handling criminal cases when there's nothing else to do....."

"Isn't it better to sip some tea and maintain your health at the firm?"

"Exactly, exactly."

...

...

Meanwhile.

In Hanhai City.

At the First People's Hospital.

"Hmm, not bad, recovering well!"

"Young man's constitution is excellent, once home, remember to watch his diet, and as they say, it takes a hundred days to recover from a muscle or bone injury, so we need to be careful."

In the hospital, within a sickbed.

The attending doctor said to Xu Liang, his face full of admiration.

Today was the day Xu Liang was discharged from the hospital.

Indeed, after lying in the hospital for several days, Xu Liang finally couldn't bear it any longer.

He wanted to be discharged!

After telling his aunt Zhao Ying, Zhao Ying naturally scolded him harshly, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.

Luckily, Xu Liang had the doctor examine him, and in the end, the doctor was amazed at his recovery speed, indicating he could be discharged; only then did Zhao Ying let him off the hook.

But even so...

"Don't be reckless after you're discharged!"

Zhao Ying, carrying his luggage, looked at Xu Liang with displeasure.

Honestly.

When she received news of Xu Liang's hospitalization, her heart skipped a beat...

Fortunately, the police told him the injuries weren't serious, otherwise Zhao Ying felt like she would faint on the spot!

"It's just work..."

Xu Liang said with an awkward smile.

"Hmph, you can't risk your life just for money!" Xu Fuqiang said sternly, standing on the same side as Zhao Ying.

"Exactly, exactly!"

Xu Ze nodded like a pecking chicken.

Then he looked at Zhao Ying and asked, "Mom, can I have a dog?"

He had wanted to have a dog for a long time.

But unfortunately, Zhao Ying never allowed it. Now, since he was on the same side as Zhao Ying, maybe she'd agree casually...

"Get lost!"

Zhao Ying spat out a word.

Xu Ze felt quite aggrieved.

"When I make money, I'll get you a good dog!" Xu Liang decisively pulled his brother into his camp.

Xu Ze perked up and hugged his leg.

"Brother Xian, you're the best!"

Xu Liang smiled, but halfway through the smile, he heard Xu Ze hesitate for a moment and then say:

"But you can't risk your life just for money!"

Xu Liang: ...

"Alright then."

Xu Liang was resigned.

Zhao Ying was about to say something when, in a moment of distraction, she noticed a figure standing in the ward.

The figure was slender, well-proportioned, with a waist that seemed easy to hold, a thin white back, and delicate features that were stunning just by standing there.

At that moment, wearing a fitted long dress, she stood quietly to the side, very ladylike and obedient.

Zhao Ying withdrew her gaze.

"Alright, your friend is waiting for you, so I won't rush you."

"But remember, if you dare to go around recklessly again..."

Zhao Ying further threatened, "I'll treat you like Xu Ze and beat you up!"

This threat was truly heavy!

Xu Liang nodded, agreeing.

Seeing this, Zhao Ying then took Xu Fuqiang and his son away from the scene.

Xu Liang glanced sideways at Yang Ruoxi, who was covering her mouth with her hand, laughing ladylike.

"Alright, stop pretending, my auntie is gone."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruoxi smiled shallowly, her eyes curved like crescents.

"Nonsense, I'm always like this."

"Ugh." Xu Liang felt nauseous.

"What do you mean!?"

Yang Ruoxi flared up instantly, eyes wide, her facade breaking.

"Am I not gentle usually!?"

Seeing her like this, Xu Liang managed a breath of relief.

"Feeling better."

He couldn't be bothered with her complaints.

Looking at Yang Ruoxi, Xu Liang asked suspiciously:

"Why are you looking for me?"

"Hmph, isn't it because of your darn case!"

"I'm telling you, if you don't let me into your law firm this time, I'll get mad at you!"

"But..."

Yang Ruoxi said with a huff, then adjusted her expression to become hesitant, finally speaking:

"Your case might be in trouble."

The case might be in trouble!?

Xu Liang was shocked.

If the case goes south, doesn't that mean the tens of thousands he has already earned would vanish!?

"What's going on!?" Xu Liang was a bit anxious.

He hoped the beating he took wouldn't be for nothing!

Yang Ruoxi hesitated, finally deciding to speak:

"Wang Cuiping is dead."

Wang Cuiping... is dead!?

Xu Liang's pupils contracted; his brow furrowed as he pondered continuously.

Eventually, he looked back at Yang Ruoxi.

"How did she die?"

"Zhang Mang took her away; they initially wanted Wang Cuiping to beg on the streets, but they didn't expect the head injury to be too serious, compounded by an overdose of anesthetic, Wang Cuiping died on the spot."

"The body was found in the basement."

Yang Ruoxi sighed as she spoke.

This information was provided by the police, so it couldn't be false.

But if that's the case...

"Does Lu Yao know now?" Xu Liang was flustered, feeling quite tongue-tied.

"I invited him to the law firm, but I haven't told him yet."

Yang Ruoxi shook her head, saying to Xu Liang, "I came to find you first to see what you plan to do."

What to do...

What can he do?

Telling him his mom is dead!?

"Let's take it one step at a time."

Xu Liang sighed, put on his jacket, and headed out.

"Back to the law firm, then take someone to the police station."

"At least, Lu Yao's emotions shouldn't be triggered by us."

Yang Ruoxi nodded, then followed behind him.

After completing the discharge paperwork, Xu Liang got in the car.

"Vroom~!"

The car turned around and headed toward the law firm.

...

...

By the time the two returned to the law firm and picked up Lu Yao, it was already two in the afternoon.

Lu Yao got in the car, still unaware of what had happened.

However, what Xu Liang said made Lu Yao frown, feeling strange.

"Mr. Lu, you... be emotionally prepared."

Xu Liang tactfully reminded him.

"Emotionally prepared?"

Lu Yao frowned but didn't think much of it, smiling.

Honestly, his mother disappeared ten days ago, and he had been on edge for ten days.

Fortunately, now that the case is solved, he can stop being on edge!

Looking at his expression, Xu Liang hesitated for a moment.

Finally, he sighed and said nothing further.

Let the police tell him directly; otherwise, his case might actually get botched...

Time passed in the silent atmosphere.

For a long while...

"Screech~!"

The sound of brakes sounded.

The Hanhai City Police Bureau appeared in front of the three.

"We're here!"
