Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 44 - 40: Investigation Team!?

Hanhai City exploded?

Xu Liang rubbed his chin, turned to look at the noodle shop across the street, then at his law firm on Hongfu Street.

Finally, he summed it up in one sentence.

Hanhai didn’t explode, this girl is lying!

"Stop kidding."

Xu Liang said as he was about to close the door and go back to sleep.

He always had a strong resistance to beauty, even though Yang Ruoxi was a beautiful and well-shaped girl, who importantly also had money... but it wasn’t as good as going back to bed right now for a good sleep.

Yang Ruoxi, however, was half dead with anger.

She felt that this person in front of her could always anger her from angles she couldn’t see, making her teeth itch with hatred yet leaving her helpless.

"Hmph!"

She snorted, pretending not to hear, and threw the newspaper in her hand over.

"Take a look yourself!"

Xu Liang, closing the door, was interrupted by the newspaper hitting his chest.

He yawned, rubbed his eyes, spread out the newspaper, and began to read.

The headline on the newspaper’s front page was printed with several large characters.

[Shock! Man in Hanhai initiates corpse-digging lawsuit! Digs up his mother buried for years...]

Seeing this headline.

Xu Liang’s brow twitched, but he continued reading.

Below the headline was a series of reports about the case and the court trial.

It could be said...

The majority of the newspaper was talking about Xu Liang’s affairs!

Finally, he looked up at Yang Ruoxi.

"If I say I didn’t know, would you believe me?"

"No." Yang Ruoxi shook her head.

Hearing this, Xu Liang didn’t have much of a reaction, but Yang Ruoxi was getting excited on her own again.

"Do you know you’ve become famous now!?"

"Famous?" Xu Liang was taken aback.

"Right, when Liu Mingbo sued, he specifically mentioned what Chen Jian and Zhu Hong did back then!"

"And the Chen Dong case coincidentally involved the suspicious case from seven years ago; now with what Liu Mingbo said, it turned the suspicion in people’s minds directly into a solid case!"

"And you managed to pull Chen Dong from a death sentence at the first trial to bear no criminal responsibility at all..."

Yang Ruoxi chattered on, clasping her hands tightly in front of her chest, looking very excited.

Xu Liang didn’t know what she was so excited about.

"In short, your name has spread all over Hanhai!"

Only Hanhai?

Xu Liang watched Yang Ruoxi, a bit taken aback.

He didn’t think so.

A corpse-digging lawsuit... such a malicious act couldn’t be hidden.

Xu Liang had witnessed a corpse-digging lawsuit in a previous life, where the appellant cut off their relative’s head and took it by train to Upper City...

The public opinion it sparked was a nationwide sensation? No, not just nationwide.

It caused a sensation across the whole continent!

And that was back in a time when information was not so fluid!

So...

Xu Liang’s name was definitely spreading beyond Hanhai City, likely reaching other provinces.

But it was useless; it’s hard to get cases from other provinces, and he wouldn’t be able to collect legal fees.

"Why don’t you react at all!?"

Yang Ruoxi felt like a fool after getting excited for so long without Xu Liang reacting, her pretty face flushed, embarrassedly asking.

"I came to you the moment I got the news!"

Xu Liang was also a bit speechless, bluntly said:

"Trouble has arisen, and you still don’t know...."

"Trouble?"

Yang Ruoxi was slightly confused, her ability didn’t support her thinking too deeply, "What trouble?"

Xu Liang was just about to speak.

Unexpectedly, a sudden sound came from his pants pocket.

"Bzzz bzzz bzzz~"

The sound was not loud, but enough to make the atmosphere between the two fall silent.

"Tsk, trouble’s here."

Xu Liang sighed, having a bit of a toothache, but still took out his phone and clicked to answer.

"Hello?"

"Is this Lawyer Xu, Mr. Xu? This is the Hongfu District Criminal Police Brigade, we need you to come to the station for some coordination..."

A voice came through the speaker.

Xu Liang didn’t hesitate much before agreeing, immediately replied, "Okay."

Then he hung up the phone.

He returned to his law office, freshened up as quickly as possible, then plopped down into Yang Ruoxi’s car.

Yang Ruoxi was a bit surprised, wide-eyed looking at him, her small mouth slightly open.

"What are you doing?"

"Going to the police station."

Xu Liang was a bit puzzled, "You don’t want to take my rent anymore?"

"Four months plus August, making it five months of rent, don’t you want it anymore?"

Yang Ruoxi was suspicious, "What’s that got to do with rent?"

"Don’t ask."

"Your brain doesn’t work well, not helpful in thinking about matters."

Xu Liang’s face was serious, very earnest.

"Listen to me, just drive, I’ll catch some sleep."

Yang Ruoxi: ?

"It’s you who’s got a bad brain!"

Yang Ruoxi was embarrassed and angry, yet still sat in the driver’s seat, stepped on the gas, and drove toward the police station.

Not to mention anything else.

She surely wanted the forty thousand for five months of rent!

...

...

11:00 AM.

Yang Ruoxi parked the car in the parking lot of the Hongfu District Criminal Police Brigade.

A man like a tower lifted the car door.

"Sis~"

Wang Chao eagerly opened the car door, speaking fawningly to Yang Ruoxi.

Xu Liang, in the passenger seat, got out of the car too, glanced around, and looked at Wang Chao.

"Where’s the person who wanted to see me?"

"In the interrogation room, currently dealing with Chen Jian, it doesn’t seem to be a big deal, I’ll take you there now, Lawyer Xu!"

Seeing Xu Liang again made Wang Chao ecstatic, so much so that his excitement couldn’t be contained.

During the trial process, he was a full-on witness, utterly stupefied, his admiration for Xu Liang was evident.

He immediately led Xu Liang towards the interrogation room.

The two walked briskly.

The interrogation room wasn’t far from them.

Xu Liang just got a little closer when a series of voices reached his ears.

"Chen Jian, right, do you know why you’re here..."

"Messing around? Haha, interesting, let’s look at these people first."

"Zhou Yi, Sun Tian, Zhao Dahua, Wang Guo... do those names sound familiar?"

"You aren’t the first we’ve talked to, and you won’t be the last..."

"..."

Listening to the calm yet incisively pressing voices beside him, Xu Liang’s eye twitched.

He stood at the interrogation room door, waiting silently.

Besides him at the door were Chen Changchun, Liu Jin, and others, all acting indifferent, pretending to see nothing.

After a good while...

The voices inside faded away.

"Screech~"

The iron door of the interrogation room opened.

Several middle-aged men, with briefcases in hand, dressed in black and white suits, wearing red ties, appeared in front of everyone.

They shut the door behind them, turning back, their gaze suddenly froze, before skimming over the crowd, landing their eyes on Xu Liang.

"You must be Xu Liang, Lawyer Xu?"

The leading man said, smiling with a pleasant demeanor.

Xu Liang nodded, "That’s me."

While speaking, he quickly analyzed the other party’s identity in his mind.

Judging from their appearance and energy, along with Chen Changchun’s attitude toward them, they are likely leaders.

And not just from the city, otherwise Chen Changchun wouldn’t have this attitude.

Based on the grave nature of what Liu Mingbo stirred up, they are probably...

An investigation team from Lanshan Province!

So fast!?

Xu Liang felt a pang of anxiety in his heart.

"Ha, we were just talking about you on the phone earlier."

The man smiled warmly, then looked around, waving his hand to dismiss the surrounding police.

Chen Changchun hesitated to speak, ultimately sighed and left with others.

Before long, only Xu Liang and the other man were left at the interrogation room door.

Just as Xu Liang was about to say something.

As if in a reverie, the man before him spoke, still smiling.

"According to our investigation, you went to Huangyan Village to find Liu Mingbo in mid-July?"

Xu Liang paused, looking up at him.

Before he could speak, the man suddenly shifted the topic, saying:

"Liu Mingbo mentioned he wants you to be his litigation lawyer."

"What do you think about that?"
