Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 113 - 109: A Lose-Lose Situation!

Hongfu Street, Building C, Hongfu District, Room 301.

"That's the situation."

"At the moment, there's no way Wang Hai can be taken away; he must die, and it must be on the court of the Eastern Country!"

"The biggest problem now is...we still don't know why the embassy is going all out to take him."

9:30 PM.

Xu Liang held Yang Ruoxi's phone, listening to his senior, Li Yang, as he fell into deep thought.

'As expected...'

His heart sank.

Wang Hai is indeed thinking about how to escape judgement!

The other party hasn't given up, hiring a lawyer is just to buy time, the real lifeline for his survival lies with the embassy!

But the problem is...

The embassy can't openly fall out with the Eastern Country over a criminal!

Since they won't fall out, they can't take him away.

But if they really go crazy and try to forcefully take him...anyone can see the huge conspiracy involved!

"As per my boss's statement."

"Including the task force, they want to use Wang Hai as bait to fish out everything and get to the bottom of it!"

Li Yang sat on the sofa, chatting with his junior.

Using him as bait...

Xu Liang fell into thought.

The task force isn't made up of fools, they've investigated everything related to Wang Hai.

It's only been six days, but...Xu Liang dares to say that the evidence they hold is definitely enough to convict Wang Hai!

By special arrangement, they could execute Wang Hai within a month.

As for whether such a special arrangement can really go from arrest to execution in a month...

This brings to mind a case Xu Liang witnessed in his past life.

A major poisoning case involving sesame cakes, where the perpetrator, dissatisfied with the neighboring business doing better, poisoned the cakes under cover of night.

This directly resulted in hospitals being unable to provide enough beds, causing massive casualties...

From filing the case—arrest—investigation—trial to carrying out execution, it only took 30 days!

The appeal in the second trial was also dismissed.

It was extremely efficient!

Handling a death penalty case in thirty days; there weren't many such cases in the entire Eastern Country...

'Logically, Wang Hai should receive the same treatment.'

Xu Liang's thoughts shifted, slightly understanding what Li Yang meant.

'Unless they want to investigate something else!'

Although he said this, Xu Liang felt relieved.

As long as Wang Hai doesn't escape, he could just wait for this bastard to die and then receive the payment!

Tens of thousands...once in hand, Xu Liang could recruit top-tier interns as energetic as horses and as enduring as cattle!

But...

"How long might it take?"

Xu Liang frowned and asked.

He didn't want to waste too much time on this case...

But unfortunately.

What you fear most comes true!

"I don't know, maybe a few months, or maybe a year or two." Li Yang said casually.

Without unified opinions, Wang Hai couldn't be executed hastily.

Otherwise, it would be easy for the other side to retaliate, claiming infringement on so-called judicial rights.

So...

Passing the buck is common, taking a year is typical.

"However, rest assured, the task force won't delay too long, a year at most."

Li Yang smiled and asked.

Even a year is long!

Xu Liang felt a pang of bitterness.

Noticing his emotion, Li Yang curiously asked.

"Why are you paying so much attention to this rotten case, junior brother?"

Xu Liang is indeed a lawyer.

But not every case catches a lawyer's attention!

Especially those unknown, or like Wang Hai's case, where the information is internally sealed, lawyers wouldn't concern themselves casually. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

So how did Xu Liang know?

"Wang Hai's crimes affected a victim who is the mother of my client."

"If Wang Hai's case is resolved quickly...my career would officially start!"

Xu Liang spoke without batting an eye.

"That's good to hear."

Hearing this, Li Yang was relieved.

Then he clicked his tongue and started chatting idly with Xu Liang.

"I thought you went astray after graduation!"

"Little junior brother, let me tell you, I chatted with a classmate from the Supreme Court a few days ago."

"They mentioned your...Hanhai City, yes, Hanhai City!"

"There's a very shameless litigator in Hanhai City, although a newcomer, his tactics leave people speechless, making the local court quite demoralized."

"Make sure you don't learn from him."

"If the firm's not doing well, let your seniors know, never become a litigator for money!"

Sitting on the sofa, Xu Liang was deeply moved.

He said, "Don't worry, senior brother, I definitely won't learn from him!"

He spoke with gritted teeth:

"I still remember our master's teachings, our school despises litigators the most in this life!"

"As long as you understand." Li Yang said.

Li Yang was more than ten years older than Xu Liang and almost watched Xu Liang grow up as an elder, so hearing the his words was naturally comforting.

"Okay, then I won't disturb your work, senior brother."

"Please carry on."

Xu Liang smiled, exchanged a few more words, and hung up the phone.

The moment the call ended...

"How can I ruin Wang Hai?"

Xu Liang fell into thought.

The task force has time to wait.

But Xu Liang doesn't have time!

Getting the money after a year?

Big law firms have the resources to operate like this; they can work on major cases for decades.

But Xu Liang can't wait that long. He doesn't have other employees and relies solely on himself, spending the whole year just busy with one case... It's not that he isn't making money; it's just that the loss lasts too long!

"Tsk..."

"This money is really hard to earn."

Xu Liang had a tongue-clicking expression on his face, constantly pondering.

"The issue of conflicting timelines stems from the relationship between the embassy and Wang Hai..."

"As long as this issue could be resolved, for example, if the embassy suddenly gave up on Wang Hai, the case could be closed within half a month!"

Everyone knows about this core conflict.

The supervising group understands, the Consulate Department's Li Yang understands, the police also know, and even Wang Hai himself knows that the reason he is still in detention is because of this.

But this conflict is too complicated.

The supervising group wants to go in-depth and uncover the relationship between them.

However, the embassy keeps hiding things, and the two sides are like Tai Chi, constantly sparring and delaying time.

Xu Liang's hope is to resolve the case in a short time...

Looking at it this way, everyone's goals conflict with each other, and a win-win situation is impossible!

The supervising group is bound to infringe on the core conflict of the Elephant Country's embassy if they uncover everything.

The embassy's goal, on the other hand, is to extradite Wang Hai to the Elephant Country to hide the core conflict, which directly targets the reason the supervising group was established.

Wasn't the supervising group in Upper City established because of Wang Hai!?

If Wang Hai gets taken away, then what's the supervising group for? Is it to use a cannon to kill a mosquito, just to clean up small fry like Zhang Mang for the Six Ministries?

No solution came after long consideration.

Xu Liang finally sighed.

"Let's eat first, Brother Xian."

Xu Ze, who was preparing to wash up and go to bed, noticed Xu Liang still sighing and looking gloomy on the sofa and instinctively came over to remind him.

Since coming back from the law firm, Xu Liang hasn't eaten. Continuing like this will cause his body to break down.

Xu Ze is still hoping Xu Liang would buy him a dog!

Upon hearing this.

Xu Liang shook off the chaotic thoughts in his mind. He looked at Xu Ze, smiled, and then walked towards the kitchen.

The other party was right.

After all, one must eat, lest he gets no money and his health also deteriorates.

"Snap!"

Xu Liang opened the fridge. Inside were some dishes Zhao Ying had left for him.

He heated them up in the pot and took a couple of simple bites.

Then he washed up and lay back on the bed.

But unlike before.

Today is destined to be a sleepless night!

Xu Liang tossed and turned in bed, constantly thinking of ways, leading to insomnia.

From 10:30, he lay there until 3 in the morning.

Only then did he unknowingly...

Fall into a deep sleep.

...

...

"Ah, did you get beaten up again!?"

On November 7th.

When Yang Ruoxi skillfully pushed open the door to Xu Liang's law firm, she jumped in shock seeing him.

Xu Liang's eyes were sunken, with clear dark circles, looking just like a national treasure panda.

He looked just like he had been beaten up!

Seeing this, Yang Ruoxi feigned a 'concerned' expression and walked over to Xu Liang, rubbed his eyes, and pouted her soft red lips, blowing air.

"Let sister blow it for you~"

Xu Liang's face darkened; the poor sleep had already made his complexion worse.

"Do you have bad breath?"

Xu Liang retorted.

But unfortunately, the Yang Ruoxi of today is vastly different from the one four months ago.

Her skin had grown thicker!

"Clearly, it's your nose that's the problem." Yang Ruoxi replied casually.

Then curiously looked at Xu Liang.

"Why do you look like this?"

"You're not seriously doing some shady lawyering and got beaten up by enemies, are you?"

This time, she was genuinely a bit concerned.

Being a shady lawyer carries high risks. Now and then, there are cases nationwide where shady lawyers are killed by plaintiffs or the prosecution's family members. It's not advisable to enter this field without thick skin.

Although Xu Liang's cases are always ethically sound.

But for his opponents... ethics don't matter; interests are important, and Xu Liang clearly violated their interests!

So it's reasonable for him to take a few punches.

"What are you thinking?"

Xu Liang rolled his eyes, changed to a comfortable position, and frowned.

"It's still about Wang Hai."

"I want to get the money as soon as possible..."

Last night, he thought about the Wang Hai issue until 3 a.m., but he still couldn't figure out how to adjust it!

As of now, among Wang Hai, the supervising group, the embassy, the Consulate Department, and Xu Liang, at least three have conflicting interests!

To quickly conclude the case, a win-win answer must be presented, otherwise it's almost impossible.

And without one, the case will drag on longer.

This precisely infringes on Xu Liang's interests.

"So you were thinking about this all night!?" Yang Ruoxi was a bit surprised.

She looked again at her wristwatch.

"It's only seven now, you... slept maybe three hours?"

"That's not important. If I could think of an answer, it would be worth not sleeping for two days." Xu Liang shook his head and said.

Yang Ruoxi also furrowed her brow in thought.

Indeed, as it stands, figuring out how to quickly get the final payment is most important.

After all...

"If the law firm runs out of money, I won't get paid either."

Yang Ruoxi thought with a frown.

"I've been working for you for free for months now..."

"Indeed."

Xu Liang nodded, but while saying this, he suddenly paused, looked up in surprise.

"No way."

"Why do I have to pay you a salary!?"
