"Who is this?" he said softly.

"Looking for you." Yang Ruoxi shook her head, indicating she didn't know.

Looking for me?

Xu Liang was surprised again.

He didn't remember knowing anyone in Sunzhou.

But it didn't matter.

The person obviously knew him!

"Hello, you must be Xu Liang, Lawyer Xu, right? I've heard a lot about you."

The man showed a warm smile, stood up, and extended his hand for a handshake.

Xu Liang looked cautiously at the man's hand, confirmed it, and then shook it.

Then, tentatively, he asked:

"You are...?"

"Just call me Liu Kun."

Liu Kun, about thirty-four years old, looked very mature and was looking at Xu Liang with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

"Do I know you?" Xu Liang showed a puzzled expression.

"Oh, it's like this."

Liu Kun began to explain:

"I'm a lawyer. A few days ago, I heard someone say that there was a case in my hometown, Huangyan Village."

"Sun Zhongmin in the case happens to be a distant relative of mine, seeing him having to bury his child... I felt a bit heartbroken."

"So I thought of acting as his agent to negotiate with the police!"

Sun Zhongmin's case?

No... No, if he had such a distant relative, why would he come to me!?

Xu Liang instinctively became alert and began to doubt the man's identity.

He thought for a long time but didn't rush to expose him, instead saying:

"Sorry, Mr. Sun has already transferred the agency rights of the case to me."

"For now, you don't seem to have the opportu..."

Before he could finish.

Liu Kun immediately said:

"Lawyer Xu, don't be quick to refuse."

"It's only been a day, you probably haven't had time to sign a formal contract with Sun Zhongmin yet."

"Can you transfer it to me?"

Saying this, Liu Kun discreetly pushed a bank card towards himself on the table.

"You see, this card's money could serve as your compensation, how about that?"

"There's three million in it. If you feel it's not enough... we can negotiate further."

Three million?

Three million to transfer case agency rights!?

Xu Liang squinted his eyes, locking eyes with Liu Kun.

This case, Sun Zhongmin only offered one million to hire him, while the man immediately offered three million to take the agency rights...

He could be sure the man wasn't Sun Zhongmin's so-called distant relative!

If that's the case, still willing to offer so much profit, then it can only be...

Suddenly.

Xu Liang recalled Sun Jin in the morgue and the case that the city bureau refused to mention.

He looked at Liu Kun and squinted his eyes.

"Who is your boss?"

"What boss?"

Liu Kun showed a bewildered expression.

Then laughed heartily:

"Is Lawyer Xu dissatisfied with this price?"

"If you're not satisfied, we can negotiate again..."

"I've heard of you, in four months you won a case that theoretically couldn't be won, and it was pro bono representation too!"

"But..."

Saying this.

Liu Kun had a smile on his face, looking kindly at Xu Liang.

"Sunzhou... is very complicated."

"Lawyer Xu, being new here, it's better not to take cases recklessly."

"You never know, behind a seemingly small case, there might be traps that could destroy someone!"

He changed his tone.

"How about three hundred and fifty thousand?"

"That's the maximum concession I can make, you see..."

Liu Kun spoke temptingly:

"Three hundred and fifty thousand, just for one agency right."

"Your law firm, last year's total income should be around fifty thousand, right."

"As long as you forgo this commission, three hundred and fifty thousand is yours, with Lawyer Xu's ability, expanding the firm in half a year won't be a problem!"

"No need to waste time in this small place like Sunzhou..."

Xu Liang didn't speak.

His expression gradually collected, his eyes showed contemplation.

In a trance.

Xu Liang said:

"Sun Jin's death... has something to do with your boss?"

Instantly.

The atmosphere between them suddenly froze.

Liu Kun seemed unprepared for Xu Liang to be so direct, leaving him momentarily speechless and dazed.

After a while.

Liu Kun also reined in his smile.

"Lawyer Xu, the waters in Sunzhou are murky..."

He gave him a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

"Every year in Hanhai City, there are many rookie lawyers, but Sunzhou is different."

"Lawyers in Sunzhou... don't dare take cases recklessly, which is why there aren't many rookies."

"I advise you..."

"Lawyers... should keep their arrogance in check."

They were both smart people.

Smart people don't need too much tact.

Liu Kun could even be more blunt!

"I'll give you four million."

"Think it over carefully, whether to take four million to terminate the contract or to take the risk and proceed with this mere million-dollar commission..."

The waters of Sunzhou are murky.

Muddy waters yield big fish!

In Sunzhou, lawyers never look at commission fees when taking cases.

But instead, look at who they might encounter!

But...

Xu Liang is not from Sunzhou.

"Who is your boss?"

Xu Liang asked again, scanning the other person up and down.

"Who is Lawyer Liu working for?"

Instantly.

The atmosphere at the scene froze again.

Liu Kun remained silent, just staring at the other person.

For a long time...

Liu Kun smiled, pulled the card back, and handed over a business card with only a phone number on it.

"In that case, I won't force you."

"This is my phone number. If Lawyer Xu decides to agree later, you can contact me anytime."

"This four million is valid at any time."

He handed over the card.

Liu Kun then stood up to straighten his suit and proceeded to walk outside.

But after just a few steps, he suddenly stopped and looked back at Xu Liang, smiling brightly:

"By the way, Lawyer Xu, you can try going to court to file the case."

"Hmm, if you can file the case."

After speaking...

Liu Kun closed his mouth and left directly.

"Squeak~!"

The hotel door was opened.

Liu Kun walked straight into a black business car with two other people inside.

"Bang!"

He sat in the car, and the two other people hurriedly turned their heads to inquire.

"How did it go?"

"Heh-heh."

Liu Kun let out a cold laugh, without directly answering.

Upon hearing this laughter.

The two immediately understood, furrowing their brows.

"What about next?"

Liu Kun spoke: "Let him do it. As I said, this area of Sunzhou... is very complex!"

"What if he files the case?"

Someone questioned.

File the case?

Liu Kun's face revealed a smile.

"You know."

"The boss doesn't want the case to be exposed, but, there's someone above the boss who wants it even less exposed..."

Saying this, Liu Kun pointed above his head.

"It's them."

"Sun Jin's body... the police won't allow anyone to see!"

"Without an autopsy..."

"How can they file the case?"

After speaking, the two nodded.

Liu Kun restrained his expression, saying expressionlessly:

"Drive."

Shortly, the car left the scene.

Inside the hotel.

"That person didn't come with good intentions?"

Yang Ruoxi frowned, she naturally heard the threat in the other's words.

Su Yu wasn't foolish either, she naturally heard it too.

"Senior, did you see Sun Jin's body?"

"How did he die? Any clues!?"

It's the same old question.

Currently, the most crucial thing is...

Filing the case!

"Very strange, the traces on the whole corpse are very odd!" Wang Chao, standing beside, said.

Upon hearing this.

Everyone fell silent.

Until...

"Conduct an autopsy!"

Xu Liang suddenly took out a cigarette, lit it, placed it to his lips, and his eyes showed a heavy look.

Corpse... autopsy!

"Did you take Sun Jin's body away?" Yang Ruoxi suddenly asked in shock.

Xu Liang shook his head.

Sun Jin's body couldn't be taken out, and even if he dared to do so, Sunzhou could detain him beyond the time until the case is closed!

So...

"Without the body, how can an autopsy be done?"

Yang Ruoxi shook her head.

This case currently seems quite tricky.

Liu Kun's threat... is definitely real!

The waters in Sunzhou are very murky; mixing cases together, even though the police finished the autopsy a month ago, they still don't dare to make it public.

Not even Sun Zhongmin's reasonable requests were approved!

If it were other regular lawyers.

Faced with the police attitude, even filing the case might be impossible.

But Xu Liang...

He is reckless!

"There's a body." Xu Liang said.

And the next few words....

Utterly shocked Yang Ruoxi, Su Yu, and even Wang Chao to the point their pupils contracted and mouths couldn't close!

"Sun Jin wasn't the only one who died!"

"Four months ago, half a year ago, a year and a half ago, there were children who died but their deaths didn't alert the police!"

Xu Liang fiercely took a drag on his cigarette, a fierce light flashing in his eyes.

"Get those people from the graves...."

"Dig them up!"

"Then conduct autopsies!!!"

Suddenly, these words exploded in their minds like a missile, their pupils rapidly contracting and scalps tingling.

Dig... dig graves!!?
