Who Made Him a Lawyer? Chapter 127 122: Arrival at Upper City! Wu Chengjun's Gratif

Xu Liang didn't know what the other person was thinking.

But fortunately, Yang Ruoxi was also a polite child... At least she was quite polite when there were outsiders present.

Xu Ze only showed up at the door.

Yang Ruoxi then once again resud her previous obedient deanor.

This gave Xu Liang a chance to catch his breath. He hurriedly got dressed, finished washing up, and then checked the ti.

It was already seven in the morning.

He had Yang Ruoxi book him a train at nine in the morning.

With only two hours left, he didn't bother eating, bought a piece of bread, and rushed over.

Just.

...

At the train station.

"So, why did you end up in my room?"

On the platform waiting for the train.

Xu Liang looked at the other person expressionlessly.

"Aunt Zhao asked to wake you up. You were sleeping so soundly, even knocking on the door didn't wake you..."

Yang Ruoxi said weakly.

Sothing's off.

It was very off by ten out of ten!

Xu Liang's eyes filled with suspicion glancing up and down at the other person.

"Are you really Yang Ruoxi?"

"Since when did Yang Ruoxi beco so polite?"

Unlike before.

Yang Ruoxi didn't get angry. Her delicate face showed a flattering expression as she looked at Xu Liang and said:

"Well... if I did sothing wrong... would you fire ?"

Fire?

Xu Liang's gaze sharpens.

"Did you blow up my law firm?"

"No."

"Then you didn't sell my law firm, right..."

"Also no."

"Did you borrow money in my na outside? You should give a share of the money...."

"None of those."

"Then what could it be?"

Xu Liang's face was full of confusion as he looked at the very guilty Yang Ruoxi, causing himself to feel guilty as well.

Yang Ruoxi gritted her teeth, feeling it doesn't matter if she faces it bravely or timidly, and simply said directly:

"Just say whether you'd fire or not!"

"I wouldn't."

Xu Liang shook his head.

Free labor, plus she's easy on the eyes, and he doesn't have to pay her. No law firm would fire such a worker.

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruoxi let out a long sigh of relief and finally regained so spirit.

Seeing she didn't speak.

Xu Liang didn't press the issue, just looked at the train tracks in front of him.

"I'm going to Upper City to visit my teacher, what are you going for?"

He recalled the morning when Yang Ruoxi told him she was going to Upper City, and his face showed doubt.

"I'm going to see my dad."

Yang Ruoxi said.

She thought for over a week and finally decided that Yang Jing had ratted her out to her dad.

It's better to go see for herself.

"Oh."

Xu Liang nodded, then suddenly rembered sothing and asked in surprise:

"Didn't you say before that your dad would be ho soon?"

He still rembered a few months ago when Yang Ruoxi said once her dad got ho, she wouldn't have ti to hang out, so she often ca to him.

"Oh."

Yang Ruoxi replied, "Plans can't keep up with changes. Isn't it because a few cases ca up in Hanhai City."

"Since he's with the Supre Court, how could he take a vacation when such cases co up? So he just missed those few days off, and the next vacation won't be until the New Year."

Yeah.

Unless there're no big cases during the New Year, theoretically, he could take a vacation.

As for why they didn't move the household to Upper City to avoid living apart...

It's mainly because of Yang Ruoxi.

Eastern Country has a conflict-of-interest policy.

With her father working in the Supre Court, Yang Ruoxi wanted to be a lawyer, so she couldn't appear in the major areas governed by the Supre Court.

Therefore, she could only work in her hotown, Hanhai City, as a lawyer.

It's lucky it's now.

If it were in the last era, after the circuit courts were established... Yang Ruoxi wouldn't be able to practice law in the country and would have to handle cases in a few special places only.

The two chatted about random things.

For a long ti.

With the roar of steel gears.

The train arrived.

Xu Liang led the group onto the train and had breakfast in the sleeper cabin.

...

The trains in 2004 were very, very slow.

In those days, trains often arrived late, so the original plan was to arrive at Upper City by eight in the evening.

It was forced to be delayed by half an hour.

Therefore.

On December 4th.

At eight-thirty in the evening, as the train arrived at the station and the door opened...

Xu Liang and Yang Ruoxi stepped into the realm of Upper City.

"Whew~"

"The heart of power!"

"As a lawyer, even the air feels sweeter here..."

Xu Liang took a deep breath, showing a look of emotion on his face.

"Idiot, it's crowded here, you must've inhaled too much carbon dioxide and gotten silly!"

Yang Ruoxi teased from the side.

After realizing Xu Liang wouldn't pursue her 'mistake',

Yang Ruoxi gradually showed a bit of arrogant exuberance.

Xu Liang:...

"Heh, I don't even know what mistake you made yet."

Xu Liang looked at the other person expressionlessly, "Don't let catch your tail!"

Yang Ruoxi fell silent, then smiled ingratiatingly.

"I'll carry your luggage for you!"

"No need for that."

Xu Liang declined, considering this was her dad's jurisdiction, who knows if people would et them at the train station entrance.

After so playful banter.

The two started thinking about serious matters.

Walking out of the bustling platform, they moved through the crowd to the train station entrance.

In an instant.

An overwhelming clamor filled their ears.

"Special price for a hotel, only thirty for a night!"

"Hey young man, need a ride? It's cheap, you can go anywhere."

"Anyone for a boxed al? Only ten left, once it's gone, it's gone!"

"..."

The calls and shouts resounded beside their ears.

The area in front of the train station entrance was crowded with people.

There were shouts and hawking cries.

Upper City was very cold in December.

But the crowds emitted heat that offset so of the chill.

Xu Liang held onto Yang Ruoxi's wrist to prevent her from getting lost.

"Stay close to ."

Yang Ruoxi nodded nervously, letting him tug her along.

Xu Liang didn't hurry to leave the crowd; instead, he stopped by the stall of a lunchbox vendor and bought two steaming hot lunchboxes.

After handing one to Yang Ruoxi, he started eating and said:

"So, are you going straight to see your dad or are you crashing at my place for the night?"

She had been hungry all day.

With lunchboxes now in hand, Yang Ruoxi naturally stuffed her mouth full, her cheeks puffing out.

Upon hearing the question, she chewed for a mont, swallowed, and then said:

"No need, I have a place here."

Xu Liang:...

Alright, alright, he had been blind to what was right in front of him!

"Why not crash at mine for a night?"

Yang Ruoxi cautiously suggested, "My place is pretty big, the bed is big... two beds! And there are even electronic toys you can play with."

"No need."

Xu Liang shook his head.

He had to go find Li Yang at the Consulate Departnt in advance, then go together to et Wu Chengjun.

Hearing this.

Yang Ruoxi didn't insist.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill.

Xu Liang took the bus to drop her off at her accommodation before heading towards the Consulate Departnt.

Upper City was bustling at night.

The streets were filled with neon lights.

Every street had people coming and going, heads appearing more nurous than ants.

At half past ten.

Xu Liang arrived at the Consulate Departnt.

The Consulate Departnt had special rooms for outsiders to rest; Li Yang had arranged one for Xu Liang on the train, saving Xu Liang a lot of ti, allowing him to move in directly with soone leading the way.

Entering the room, Xu Liang quickly grabbed a bite, and then quickly cleaned up.

After spending an entire day on the train, exhaustion washed over him, and he soon fell into a rough sleep.

...

...

December 5th.

Eight thirty in the morning.

"Knock knock knock~"

A knock sounded.

Xu Liang, who was dressing, heard it, stood up while dressing and walked towards the door, casually saying:

"Coming!"

After speaking.

He slipped his arm out of his sleeve and imdiately opened the door in front of him.

"Creak~"

The door opened, revealing Li Yang standing there with breakfast.

"Have you eaten yet, junior brother?"

Li Yang raised an eyebrow, gesturing with the steaming dumplings in his hand, and said:

"Want so?"

Xu Liang didn't pretend.

The other was more than a decade older than him and was practically a senior, moreover, their bond was strong, no need for formality.

They quickly finished breakfast, cleaned up, and walked out of the Consulate.

A car was parked in front of the Consulate; Li Yang opened the door and got in.

"You ca a bit early, other fellow disciples aren't around to accompany you, but I happen to have a day off today, so I'll hang out with you."

Xu Liang also got into the passenger seat, watching Li Yang reverse, and then hit the gas heading towards Upper City University, jokingly remarked:

"Senior, you haven't made it big yet."

"Why do you still have to drive yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yang wasn't annoyed.

With a teasing smile on his face, he replied:

"You rascal, teasing again."

He paused for a mont, a look of reflection appearing on his face.

"But... it will be soon, after this Elephant Country issue... I won't have to drive anymore."

The Consulate Departnt sorted out the Elephant Country matter, and even helped the investigation team find the real culprit...

It's safe to say all credit was due to him.

Plus, with Wu Chengjun and the senior brother backing him, after this his position surely would rise.

At the pri age of thirty-five or so, already at this position... worthy of being called a talent of the generation!

"Thanks to you, junior brother, otherwise it might have dragged on for a year or two."

Li Yang smiled.

Others may not know, but he understood how the solution ca to be!

If it weren't for Xu Liang's phone call, they'd probably still be troubled by Nata!

"We're fellow disciples, just a small favor..."

Xu Liang smiled as he spoke, but the next words from the other suddenly stiffened Xu Liang's expression.

"Speaking of which, I'm going back to the school with you this ti to see the teacher, I also plan to learn more from him."

Li Yang steered the wheel, his face showing a look of contemplation.

"The teacher, really, the older, the wiser!"

"Being able to teach you all this, and you could master it... sigh, indeed, I have much to learn still."

Xu Liang:...

"Ha... haha, maybe this is what they call having an old one at ho is like having a treasure."

Xu Liang awkwardly replied.

Done speaking, he didn't intend to continue on this topic, extending a hand to remind:

"Upper City University is here!"

Li Yang nodded, found a parking spot, and parked the car.

Then, the two of them got out of the car.

They both graduated from Upper City University.

Xu Liang was here just a year ago, so of course, he wouldn't forget the layout of the buildings.

Following the images in mory, the two of them traversed through the floors.

After a short while.

They stopped at a door.

Xu Liang reached out, ford a fist, and knocked.

"Knock knock knock~"

From within, a mont passed, and a voice, familiar yet unfamiliar, was heard.

"Co in."

Xu Liang pushed open the door.

"Creak~"

The door opened.

At the mont of opening, Wu Chengjun saw Xu Liang at the door and was slightly taken aback.

Then his face broke into a smile, his gaze warm as he spoke.

"Xu Liang, you've co."

If asked which student Wu Chengjun liked the most?

It would naturally be the one who listened the most, who mastered his teachings best, Xu Liang!

"Co, have a seat."

Wu Chengjun smiled, patting the chair beside him, warmly saying:

"Tell the teacher what you've been up to since graduation?"
