Chapter 292: Chapter 206: Recovering the Body! Zhao Hailong’s Worries! [2/4]_2

But they didn’t expect... Xu Liang took on this case!

Helpless, they could only find a way to temporarily seal the law firm’s practice certificate, thinking that this wouldn’t be a problem.

But unfortunately...

"In civil cases, even if I sign the contract on April 2, I can still file a lawsuit on April 3!"

A gleam of shrewdness flashed in Xu Liang’s eyes.

He wanted Zhao Hailong to outsmart himself without realizing it!

Moreover, Xu Liang didn’t believe the people in court would stay past working hours. As long as they ended work on the 2nd, Xu Liang could sign the contract that night and appear in court the next day!

In the meantime...

Xu Liang didn’t believe Zhao Hailong and his group could react in time!

The biggest problem right now was the firm’s rectification.

"How’s the rectification going?" Xu Liang asked once more.

Yang Ruoxi quickly replied:

"Almost done."

"The firm hardly had any cases, we just need to address the traps intentionally set here in Jiang City, plus Xia Yao’s teacher..."

Handling cases can be a hassle for a typical law firm.

Because of their large size, the cases they take on are numerous.

During a rectification, all cases must be transferred to other law firms. The various regulations can keep lawyers busy for at least half a month before they can move on to other matters.

But Xu Liang was different.

His firm had just started!

With only ten lawyers, they only had a few cases on the 18th, most of which were related to Zhao Hailong. They could simply cut ties and terminate the contracts directly.

Other rectification areas?

There’s no need for rectification at all! Because there was nothing wrong with the firm to begin with.

So...

"You can apply for early unfastening at any time," Yang Ruoxi said.

Deciding to lift the restriction was just a matter of words at the moment.

Xu Liang nodded, so only two things remained now.

"First, find the corpse."

"Second...."

Xu Liang paused, refocusing on another person who made him sick.

That was...

"The people in court are currently unaware."

Xu Liang turned his head to look at Sun Chuan, who had just finished arranging the personnel, and approached.

"Director Sun."

Hearing the movement, Sun Chuan finally shifted his gaze from the river surface to Xu Liang.

"What’s up?"

"When investigating the pickle factory and the Jianghe Disabled Shelter, try to keep a low profile," Xu Liang said.

"And there’s a person whose identity is still unknown. If they realize the police are watching them... it’s highly possible they’ll escape."

Beast Creation Technique.

This matter has always been a capital offense throughout the dynasties if caught!

That’s right, this thing is different from ordinary human trafficking.

Human traffickers have a high chance of survival if caught, but if someone like Zhao Hailong and Cheng Jia is involved in collecting and dissecting, they face a 7.62 caliber solution upon sight.

Zhao Hailong, Cheng Jia, and the pickle factory owner definitely know their fate, so if caught, they’re very likely to hold a grudge and refuse to cooperate with the police, thus delaying time for the person in the court to escape.

"Unknown identity?" Sun Chuan frowned.

Xu Liang nodded.

"Yes, unknown identity."

"It’s best not to reveal yourself if you can help it."

That Jiang City’s court would handle something obviously targeting our law firm, a hundred percent means there’s a problem!

Although the suspension was requested by us, if not for connections with teachers, the firm would have been closed for at least a month!

The other party nearly pushed him into this situation... Xu Liang had no reason to let him off.

Without seeking revenge, Xu Liang would be ashamed of the petty tricks he learned from Wu Chengjun!

"Alright."

Sun Chuan nodded.

The two then paused for a moment, turning their gaze to the river before them.

The body sunk for five years...

Should finally see the light of day!

...

...

March 25th.

Jiang City.

Jianghua Road.

Under an old community building stood a blue iron shed, which looked quite shabby, and even as a utility room, not many would be willing to use it.

Yet, this was Qi Tao’s home.

"Mr. Qi, this case has really been settled."

"The court classified it as a civil compensation case, so no matter how much you don’t want it, it’s just a matter of how much compensation."

"If you wish to pursue accountability... it has to be at least a criminal case, but the truth doesn’t point to it..."

"..."

Inside the iron shed.

Zhao Hailong continued to persuade Qi Tao with a letter of understanding, speaking tirelessly.

After confirming Xu Liang has indeed terminated the contract, he hurried over, hoping to sign the letter of understanding early.

Unfortunately...

Qi Tao sat silently at the edge of the bed, responding with silence.

Zhao Hailong’s eyes flickered with impatience, but he held back and continued:

"The court has only two judgments, either more compensation or less."

"I know it’s hard for you to accept, but the deceased is gone, and you have no other relatives..."

"Life afterwards is sure to be troublesome, not to mention that even just retirement will be very problematic!"

"If you could hire someone it would be better, but you...."

As he spoke, Zhao Hailong glanced around the environment of the shed in front of him, showing a look of reluctance.

"Do you really have the money to hire someone?"

"In my opinion, it’s better to sign. This letter of understanding is good for both you and me."

Qi Tao remained silent, not saying a word.

Xu Liang left, saying he would be back, but not specifying when.

But he was willing to wait!

The other party had already convincingly told him that there was indeed a problem with Qi Yu’s cause of death. How could he possibly listen to Zhao Hailong now?

Therefore.

Qi Tao became a stubborn, stinky stone in a latrine!

’What a nuisance....’

Zhao Hailong cursed inwardly.

A few days ago, the other party already showed signs of agreement, had Xu Liang come a few hours later, the letter of understanding might have already been in hand!

But as it turned out...

The other party interacted with Xu Liang for just one afternoon.

Just one afternoon, and the attitude went from signing the letter of understanding to wanting to eat him!

’Damn it, so troublesome, Liu Kun from Sunzhou and Director Zhou from Hanhai City didn’t die in vain!’

Zhao Hailong took a deep breath, suppressing his thoughts.

At the same time, he felt fortunate that he and Cheng Jia had pushed Xu Liang off the game board in advance.

Luckily, a batch of interns had just joined the law firm...

And fortunately, Upper City had indeed suspended the practice certificate!

Otherwise...

’Could really have overturned in a ditch!’

Thinking of this.

Zhao Hailong collected his thoughts, looked at the silent Qi Tao in front of him, and threw down the letter of understanding in his hand.

"Mr. Qi, the letter of understanding comes in three copies. I’ll leave them with you."

"If you change your mind, please don’t worry, I’ll be waiting for your information!"

After saying this.

Zhao Hailong left directly.

"Squeak~!"

The metal door closed.

Zhao Hailong walked to the end of the alley, to his parked car.

He wasn’t planning to tackle this stinky stone that was Qi Tao.

Now that there are no other surprises in the case, straight to court for answers will suffice.

However, just as he got into the car.

The phone in his pocket suddenly started to vibrate.

"Buzz buzz buzz~"

Zhao Hailong paused, not in a hurry to drive, instead taking out his phone. As he glanced at it,

[Caller ID: Cheng Jia]

His finger gently pressed down, and immediately, the call connected, and the other person’s voice appeared in his ear.

"How is the preparation for Qi Tao going over there?"

"He’s a stubborn stone in a latrine, too hard to tackle, completely different from before!"

Zhao Hailong said through clenched teeth.

Previously, the other party just couldn’t accept the child’s death.

Now Qi Tao really suspects there’s a problem with Qi Yu’s death!

And the chief culprit was Xu Liang.

"Didn’t get the letter of understanding? No matter."

Cheng Jia’s voice didn’t fluctuate much and continued:

"The lawyer? Get Qi Tao a lawyer in advance so he doesn’t approach someone familiar with Xu Liang."

Zhao Hailong said: "It’s a bit difficult."

"He’s determined not to hire a lawyer, the previous few lawyers were rejected, even legal aid was refused..."

Not hiring a lawyer, rejecting legal aid lawyers as well.

What does this mean?

It means, on April 3rd when the session opens...

The opposing party will have no lawyer for representation!

Honestly, if Qi Tao was capable enough, he could debate for himself, but Qi Tao didn’t even finish elementary school!

How could he possibly act as his own lawyer?

"Never mind, only nine days left, whether he has a lawyer or not makes no difference."

Zhao Hailong spoke.

Then paused, suddenly added:

"By the way."

"Has Zhao Yue’s judicial freeze been clarified?"
