Too Bad I Take Things Seriously-Chapter 530 - 215: Liu Qiao, the old sixth, hid too deeply_3

Chapter 530: Chapter 215: Liu Qiao, the old sixth, hid too deeply_3

The lawyer had only reported some of Liu Qiao’s overseas accounts.

Following these leads, Liu Qiao would sooner or later be thoroughly investigated!

The next trial would be even more exciting.

"COUGH, COUGH, alright, since the trial is over, let’s head back to the nursing home."

In the gallery, Qin Mu stood up and addressed the reluctant crowd seated around him.

Clearly, they were not very eager to leave.

Especially Old Zhang, who was huddled with Su Yongnian, earnestly discussing and dissecting the case.

"Old Su, from my experience watching so many trials, Xiao Liu’s problem won’t be a small one," Old Zhang said.

Su Yongnian tilted his head, listening intently.

"If nothing unexpected happens... he might lose both his fortune and his freedom!" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"You see what happens when you offend Xiao Qin? It’s truly terrible luck. All sorts of misfortunes are piling up on him. Even his lawyer had an internal conflict with him in court..."

As he spoke, he turned the conversation back to Qin Mu, dispensing advice to Su Yongnian as someone with experience.

"So, in our nursing home, the best thing you can do is to get along well with Xiao Qin."

"If you have any good-looking granddaughters at home, you can introduce them to Xiao Qin. If he takes a liking to any of them, your family would have found a treasure to protect your home!"

Stealing a glance at Qin Mu, Zhang Qingyuan shared his insights with Su Yongnian in hushed tones.

Su Yongnian’s mouth was slightly ajar. He still seemed to be reeling from the shock of the trial.

Listening to Zhang Qingyuan’s "personal instruction," he couldn’t help but swallow hard.

Blinking, he said honestly, "I do have many granddaughters—eight of them at home, all unmarried..."

Before he could finish, he attracted envious looks from many of the elderly around him.

Even the nearby bailiffs, responsible for maintaining order, seemed to prick up their ears, as if quite interested in the topic.

Qin Mu also heard their outlandish chat, and his face darkened.

He decisively herded everyone out.

They left the courthouse and returned to the nursing home.

If they kept on chatting... an impromptu matchmaking session might break out.

「...」

「Jin City.」

「The Nursing Home.」

After returning to the nursing home, Qin Mu sent everyone off and found a quiet corner for himself.

He accessed the system interface once more.

He planned to check the task’s completion status.

But he discovered that the task was still showing as ’in progress’ and had not settled.

It looks like... it’s probably waiting for Liu Qiao’s case to be finalized before this task’s reward is issued, he mused, looking at the system panel.

This system task... It had taken a bit longer to settle.

Even though the five doctors, including Han Dongting, had already been detained and Sanhe Hospital had closed down, the task still hadn’t settled.

And judging from today’s trial... it was very likely because of Liu Qiao. That fellow had hidden himself too deeply.

During the first verdict, the prosecution hadn’t fully uncovered his crimes; they had only frozen accounts related to him and the drugstore.

Who would have thought... he had other accounts?

I guess it was money he made from the drugstore in the past? Qin Mu couldn’t help but speculate.

Liu Qiao’s actions this time, appealing to overturn his conviction, had indeed caught him by surprise.

Consequently, another wave of bribery attempts followed, as Liu Qiao planned to pull strings and achieve a desperate comeback.

Unfortunately, this case was causing a tremendous stir in Jin City.

While not everyone knew, a significant number of people were certainly aware of it.

No one would dare to engage in such illegal activities for him. Even if someone wanted to, they wouldn’t have the guts.

His eventual detention was not at all undeserved.

And this lawyer, Zhang Kuang, had taken actions that were even more shocking.

For him, a lawyer, to suggest such an illegal and criminal underhanded tactic at a time like this... it was as if he didn’t value his life.

He was supposed to be defending a client, yet he ended up implicating himself.

Now, the issues between them concerned instigation and being instigated, and who was the principal offender versus the accessory.

Once the facts of the crime were fully established, the court would then have to deliberate on their respective roles as principal and accessory.

In conclusion, neither of their sentences would be light.

Especially for Liu Qiao; the severity would depend on how many other criminal activities he had engaged in.

「...」

「Meanwhile.」

「Jin City.」

「A Holding Cell.」

Zhang Kuang, his hair disheveled, looked at the man in a suit before him. His body suddenly trembled, and his eyes turned red, unconsciously filling with tears.

"Zhang Wei, save me! Please save me..." he pleaded with the man before him, his voice choked with emotion.

His expression was full of regret.

Zhang Wei was his college classmate.

To be precise, they had been roommates in the same dorm, and their relationship had always been strong.

After graduation, both had remained in Jin City to develop their careers as lawyers. Just recently, Zhang Wei had landed several major cases, and his career was flourishing, making Zhang Kuang incredibly envious.

And this time... he had suddenly taken on Liu Qiao’s second appeal, thinking he too had snagged a major case.

Who could have known... this case would send him straight into detention.

Left with no other choice, he could only find a way to contact Zhang Wei and ask him to be his defense attorney.

After all, Zhang Wei’s professional abilities were exceptionally strong.

"You... weren’t you handling a lawsuit? How did you suddenly get arrested?" Zhang Wei asked, looking at his old classmate and friend with a puzzled expression.

He had rushed over as soon as he received Zhang Kuang’s plea for help.

"SIGH, don’t even mention it. I took a case, but I didn’t expect the client to be such a treacherous character, turning on me in court..."

Zhang Kuang sighed, his face pale.
