Who Made Him a Lawyer? Chapter 162 140: Maybe Xu Liang Really Can Win the Case!

"As a lawyer's assistant, it's definitely up to to do this!"

Facing Xu Liang's surprise, Yang Ruoxi patted her chest and said confidently, feeling her heart booming with determination.

To this, Xu Liang just smiled without saying anything.

Not long after.

The two of them returned to the law firm.

"Squeak~"

The door of the law firm opened. Inside, Su Yu, who was still pondering how to defend Wu Yong, heard the noise and ca over. Seeing the groceries in Yang Ruoxi's hands, Su Yu said:

"We're having this for dinner today?"

There were only three people in their law firm, and Xu Liang usually cooked for them all to eat together.

But now…

"Haha, take a break, it's my turn to cook today!"

Humming, Yang Ruoxi stepped forward and volunteered to head to the kitchen.

"I'll help too!" Su Yu followed.

Xu Liang didn't deter their enthusiasm.

He just walked over to the sofa and plopped down onto it.

"Phew~!"

Relaxing his body, yet all the more acutely feeling the pressure brought on by the case.

Xu Liang frowned, continuously rubbing his temples, as he pondered over the strategy for the case in his mind.

Currently, he had two cards in his hand.

One was a 'bank card', and the other was 'evidence of Duan Feipeng's murder!'

The forr was the fifty thousand yuan from Director Zhou.

The latter he had quickly obtained on the very night he took on the case, and as he anticipated, Director Zhou indeed sent people to monitor him afterwards.

Had he found the evidence a day later, the other party might have discovered it. Luckily, other than Yang Ruoxi, no one else knew about it at the mont.

And if the court trial was seen as a ga of poker.

The bank card was like a small three, while the evidence of Duan Feipeng's murder was like a two of spades bomb!

But...

Only a trump card can overturn the ga!

"No way, there's still no way."

Xu Liang murmured suddenly.

"The video of Duan Feipeng's murder can only be used to convict him."

"It might be thirty years, or maybe life imprisonnt."

"But it would definitely not be the death penalty, not even a reprieve!!!"

Xu Liang wanted to win the case.

He wanted a resounding victory!

Since Wu Yong wanted a life for a life, he naturally needed Duan Feipeng to die!

Indeed, for this trial, he wasn't even charging any fees.

"Director Zhou is worried, which ans the case has a loophole."

"Where's the loophole?"

"Is it with Duan Jianhao? Or Director Zhou himself? Or perhaps…"

Xu Liang mused aloud.

"Reversing the verdict on a previous molestation case to prove Director Zhou's perjury, sending him away in advance, making him unable to control the case?"

As it currently stood.

The most prudent approach was to leverage the previous case, overturn it, and have him sent in!

With this in mind...

"At most, I can drag it out until the end of the first trial."

"If it ends without finding a flaw..."

A trace of ferocity glead in Xu Liang's eyes.

"I can try to flip the table, using another case to send Director Zhou away, thereby leaving Duan Feipeng without a defense lawyer!"

He had made up his mind.

If it ant spending all of 2005 not making money or progressing, he'd dedicate the ti to overturning the cases Director Zhou had handled!

If Director Zhou had ten cases, Xu Liang would tirelessly challenge all ten, to have them overturned!!!

No money?

He'd fight without money!

He didn't believe Director Zhou could withstand such relentless pressure!!!

Just as Xu Liang was considering whether to go ahead and gather evidence in advance.

A shrill ringtone suddenly blared.

"Ring, ring~"

Xu Liang was startled, looking around, finally gazing at the phone on the table.

Caller ID: ntor!

Xu Liang paused, then hastily answered the call.

"Hello?"

"Teacher, did you need sothing from ?"

...

...

At the sa ti.

In the distant city of Upper City, Wu Chengjun was sitting in his office, with a few newspapers spread out on the desk in front of him. The newspapers...

Bearing the glaring headlines concerning the Hanhai City case!

[Angel and Devil! On one side, Sun Quan, who dropped out at sixteen to find his sister, on the other, a ruthless murderer enjoying the kill...]

[An extre societal case! Do we need to reassess the rules of law!?]

[Shock! A case from Hanhai City infuriates gods and n alike, this case...]

[According to follow-up reports, Duan Feipeng is the son of Duan Jianhao from Hanhai City's Duan Group, and the plaintiff is Xu Liang, a lawyer from Conscience Law Firm...]

Wu Chengjun looked at the newspapers in silence.

He patiently waited for the call to go through. After a long while, Xu Liang's voice finally ca through his earpiece.

"Hello? Teacher, did you need sothing from ?"

Upon hearing the voice.

Wu Chengjun gathered his thoughts, furrowed his brow, and asked in a deep voice:

"Xu Liang, did you take on the murder case at Hanhai City High School No. 18?"

He skipped the pleasantries and got straight to the point!

Upon hearing this.

On the other end of the phone, Xu Liang paused, then suddenly opened his mouth and said:

"Yes."

"You..."

Wu Chengjun paused; he didn't see anything wrong with Xu Liang taking this case, but...

"Can you handle the case?"

He spoke in a deep voice.

"This case is also being discussed in Upper City."

"The pressure from public opinion is imnse, and for now, no one sees a chance of winning."

"If you need help, I can ask your third senior sister to go over and assist you..."

Xu Liang's third senior sister runs a law firm in Upper City.

The firm is ho to many top lawyers from Eastern Country, and its scale is significant!

With their help, Xu Liang might find it much easier.

"Not needed for now."

Xu Liang declined his teacher's kind offer.

He held a '2' bomb in his hand; winning the case wasn't hard, nor was convicting Duan Feipeng. The challenge was achieving a big victory!

Bringing in outside lawyers would be of no use.

Upon hearing this, Wu Chengjun remained silent for a long while, and finally said:

"Are you confident?"

"The pressure from public opinion on this case is imnse. If you lose... you might get labeled."

A lawyer can be labeled as litigious, inflexible, or stubborn.

But they must never be labeled incompetent!

Otherwise, their entire career would be directly cut off!

The bigger the public opinion around the case, the more likely it is to be labeled this way after a loss.

A warm current passed through Xu Liang's heart.

He knew this was his teacher worrying about his post-failure situation.

"Rest assured, Teacher," Xu Liang said without elaborating further.

Upon hearing this.

Wu Chengjun paused for a mont.

After a long ti, he took a deep breath.

"Alright, since you have your wits about you, the old man won't say any more."

"Rember, don't be reckless!"

"If you co across a problem, seek out your teacher or your senior brothers and sisters if needed!"

Hearing these words, Xu Liang readily agreed.

"Good! Rest assured, Teacher, I know how to prioritize! It's just that I won't be able to co over and pay you a New Year's visit..."

"That's alright, the case is important."

With that said.

The call was promptly ended by both parties.

Wu Chengjun sat in silence for a long while.

He picked up the newspaper again, reading it carefully, trying to discern a sliver of possibility.

At the sa ti.

In the Supre Court.

Inside a personal office.

Judge Wang Yao was also seated there.

In his hand was a report from Hanhai City on the murder case at High School No. 18!

Certainly, the Supre Court could not be unaware of such a major case.

It's just...

"Difficult to judge..."

Wang Yao murmured as he held the file and looked at the news again.

He couldn't think of any angle that could bring a fair verdict to this case.

Duan Feipeng's reliance on that legal provision was like a mountain standing in the middle of the case, impossible for anyone to overco!

Until...

Wang Yao suddenly paused as he glanced at the plaintiff's side, and saw the na 'Xu Liang'.

He was taken aback and then fell into thought.

Wang Yao knew of Xu Liang.

After all, several cases in Hanhai City involved him, and he and Wu Chengjun were old friends for many years.

Not long ago, he even specifically called to scold his friend for training a 'litigation rogue'!

Honestly speaking.

Like Yang Ruoxi described, Wang Yao was indeed old-fashioned, only operating by the law, and was not personable!

However, regarding this case...

"Xu Liang..."

Wang Yao furrowed his brows, beginning to ponder.

If your opponent is a litigation rogue and tries to take advantage of you.

You would naturally be at a disadvantage, not to ntion the opposing side also holds more case information!

But if...

You are more cunning, more of a litigation rogue than your opponent!?

Although the details of the Zheng i case and the Sun Quan case were not public, how Zheng i signed the apology letter was unknown.

But even Wang Yao could guess with a certain part of his body.

Xu Liang must have found the evidence beforehand but instead took the evidence in private to threaten the other side!

Which normal lawyer takes evidence to threaten others!?

Thinking about this.

Wang Yao's heart suddenly moved.

"Perhaps, that old man's litigation rogue student..."

"Might be worth a try!"
