Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 163 - 141: First Trial Begins! The Litigator vs. the Scum! [Epic 4,000-Word Chapter!]

Time passed by the second.

December 19th.

Xu Liang continuously simulated the tactics Director Zhou might use in his mind.

At the same time, he began to secretly investigate the opponent's criminal record.

...

December 21st.

In the absence of irrefutable proof, Director Zhou had already turned false evidence into 'real evidence!'

According to the police, without any evidence, as long as the court opens, this evidence chain can perfectly clear Duan Feipeng of suspicion!

...

December 24th.

Director Zhou thought again, he had Du Ze alter his testimony.

This testimony, once brought to court, is nearly unbreakable in the absence of surveillance!

...

December 29th.

Less than a week before the court session!

Everyone began to stop their current work and shifted their attention to this trial in Hanhai City!

Inside Chengen Law Firm.

"Xu Liang? Hey, how did Director Zhou run into this guy!?"

"No idea, by the way, Zhou isn't exactly a good guy, right? Ever since he left our Chengen Law Firm, I've had a few cases against him, and his methods are extremely dirty!"

"Hard to say, hard to say..."

In Chengen Law Firm, lounging in the best spot for sunbathing, Zhang Cheng and Liu Xun began discussing the content in the newspaper.

They had been slacking off for a long time, only to learn about this case now.

Slightly understanding the situation, they were shocked and clicked their tongues.

"Director Zhou is dirty, but his dirtiness can at least be handled."

Liu Xun spoke with lingering fear; he had already experienced post-traumatic stress disorder from Xu Liang.

"But Xu Liang..."

"You can't even see his dirty tricks!"

"You won't even realize it, even if you lose the trial, you won't know what he did!"

Zhang Cheng said:

"Both are quite sinister; one's openly sinister, the other's crafty in the shadows; it's just unknown how the trial will turn out..."

"We might as well just watch the live broadcast when it happens."

"The trial will be publicly heard at Hanhai City Intermediate Court, and Hanhai Daily News Channel will broadcast it live."

The two continued their lively exchange.

Meanwhile, Qian Li recalled his encounter with six 'Upper City' bosses in an instance, and shivered with apprehension.

Then, Qian Li took out a carrying case from his morning bag.

Zhang Cheng and Liu Xun looked on with surprise.

"Lawyer Qian, what have you brought this time? Not playing poker anymore?"

Qian Li stayed silent.

He placed the carrying case on the table and unlocked its two buckles.

"Snap!"

A crisp sound was heard as the box opened.

A pile of mahjong appeared before them!

"We've gotten bored of playing poker all the time."

Qian Li smacked his lips and said:

"I remember Director Zhou was also from our law firm."

"If he loses, maybe he can join us for a game of mahjong."

Zhang Cheng and Liu Xun thought about it, both nodding in agreement.

"Lawyer Qian is always thorough!"

"But maybe we should start with poker for now."

However...

At the edge of the law firm.

Manager Sun looked sorrowfully at the three continuing to play poker in the corner.

He felt a bit of despair.

The two most skilled top-notch lawyers in the firm, along with the most promising rookie lawyer....all indulged in playing poker day in and day out!

Manager Sun was utterly hopeless.

Heavens, bring back his normal staff!!!

...

...

December 31st.

This is the last day of 2004.

Everyone was ready to welcome the new year.

However, the shadow of the case loomed over everyone's hearts, even the fireworks in the sky seemed sparse.

7 PM.

Xu Liang and Yang Ruoxi continued contemplating in the law firm.

The fireworks outside occasionally lit up their silhouettes.

...

January 1st.

2005 has arrived!

The first day of '05, with a layer of snow falling from the sky, everyone was wrapped in down jackets, children frolicked outside, building snowmen.

Xu Liang and Yang Ruoxi felt increasingly tense.

This case left them with no room to breathe.

It was unprecedentedly difficult!

Until...

....

....

January 2nd.

The 'Jinjiang Hotel Body-Throwing Case'....begins!

11 AM.

Hongfu Street Law Firm.

"Alright, let's just take it as it comes."

In front of the mirror, Xu Liang gravely examined his attire.

It's a risk whether you hide or face it!

Since he took on the case and it's time for trial.... there was no reason to back off now!

At worst, he'll fight to the death with Director Zhou and Duan Jianhao throughout 2005!

"Let's go, to Hanhai City Intermediate People's Court!"

The two took a deep breath and bade farewell to Su Yu.

Subsequently, they boarded the car and headed towards the court.

On the road of Hongfu Street.

Someone who knew Xu Liang saw this, poked their head out, and tightened their heart as they watched him leave.

Inside Hanhai City Intermediate Court.

A moment later, the silhouettes of Xu Liang and Yang Ruoxi appeared.

Numerous reporters swarmed towards them, trying to interview them.

This time even Yang Ruoxi was not spared. As Xu Liang's assistant at court, since the reporters couldn't get Xu Liang to speak, they turned to her to inquire.

However, although she was usually cheerful.

At crucial moments, Yang Ruoxi wouldn't falter; she remained exceptionally calm, not giving reporters the slightest chance to pry open her lips!

After bypassing the reporters.

The two were slowly led into the waiting room by the bailiff.

They quietly awaited the start of the trial!

...

...

Meanwhile, in another waiting room.

The presiding judge of the 'Jinjiang Hotel Body-Throwing Case' was also taking deep breaths, pondering how to proceed.

The accompanying jurors, seeing this, kept offering comfort.

"Old Zhao, you have experience. Just stay calm and handle it as usual!"

Upon hearing this, the judge's face darkened.

Indeed.

The presiding judge for this case was again assigned to Zhao Yi!

The 'Chen Dong Case' and 'Sun Quan Case', these two cases pushed him to the point where he could handle the 'Wang Hai' level!
