Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 75 - 71: Who Taught You Law!?

"Judge, can you say a fair word?"

"Why aren’t you saying anything?"

Looking at Xu Liang’s solicitous face in front of him, Zhang Bo’s face turned bright red.

Speak?

What the hell could he say!

A judge needs to maintain impartiality; how could he dare say something with strong subjective bias to any party involved in the case!?

Even if Xu Liang was indeed right, he couldn’t open his mouth...

If he broke the rules, and Liu Xun found out, he would really risk reporting him. The most crucial part is...

"Why is your face red?" Xu Liang sat on the sofa, looking at Zhang Bo with concern.

"I’m naturally introverted!"

Zhang Bo stared at him fiercely and squeezed the words out through his teeth.

There’s no doubt this brat is a litigator...

God knows if he would first trick him into speaking and then report him!

Even though there was no benefit and no reason for the other party to do such a thing, that was Zhang Bo’s impression of Xu Liang...

"Oh, since you’re introverted... no need to bother explaining then."

Xu Liang chuckled and then continued:

"Just shake your head."

"Judge Zhang, if anything I just said is even a bit wrong, you can immediately shake your head and deny it!"

After saying this.

Zhao Liang turned his head to stare at Zhang Bo, waiting for his response.

Zhang Bo’s lips moved for a while, his face turned dark, he didn’t make any move, just glared fiercely at Xu Liang.

But no matter what, he didn’t nod!

So what Xu Liang said earlier... was true!?

Zhao Liang’s pupils contracted, and he remained silent, unable to recover for a long time.

Honestly, if he had known the details of the case a month ago, he might have calmed down, but he’d still be angry.

But now, hearing it a month later...

This truly resonates, feeling somewhat touching.

After a long while, Zhao Liang took a deep breath, "Fine, I’ll sign the letter of understanding!"

After speaking, he took out a pen, guided by Xu Liang, to sign it.

[Recipient of Understanding: Zhao Liang!]

Seeing the other party press his fingerprint at that moment...

Zhang Bo was shocked, his face turned livid yet still didn’t say anything.

The same old story.

He was just here to verify, the personal will of the other party had nothing to do with him and couldn’t be influenced!

"Thank you, Uncle Zhao, I owe you one."

Xu Liang showed a smile and carefully put away one of the letters of understanding.

"Oh, we’re all neighbors." Zhao Liang showed a smile on his face.

After signing the letter, the anger in his heart subsided, and the reason for forgiveness was so ample that it even made him feel refreshed, as if he had done a good deed!

"Alright, then I won’t disturb Uncle Zhao and Auntie’s life anymore."

"The compensation will be processed when the case concludes, and the court tallies the compensation amount."

Xu Liang stood up with a smile and shook hands with the other party.

"I and Judge Zhang will be leaving now."

Zhao Liang showed a smile on his face and said:

"Alright, Xu, you go ahead with your business!"

After speaking, Xu Liang pulled Zhang Bo to leave, with Zhang Bo’s face darkening even more.

Until the door closing sound came from behind.

"Bang!"

Once the door closed, Zhang Bo couldn’t hold it in anymore.

"You..."

He wanted to say something but couldn’t utter a word, just holding it in.

Seeing this, Xu Liang chuckled.

"Judge Zhang, you’re quite busy, you could have left this verification work to a subordinate."

"On such a hot day, being outside is so exhausting..."

Xu Liang naturally knew what the other wanted to say.

It was nothing but why he didn’t get people to sign an understanding letter when the case was filed, instead waiting a month to come.

And the reason was simple.

It was naturally to have a greater probability of obtaining a letter of understanding!

A month ago, the other party was in an enraged state, seeking understanding then would be asking for trouble, sheer foolishness.

But after a month, it’s a different story. Emotions have calmed, reason prevails, and with building a connection and offering compensation, it naturally becomes easier to sign.

And...

When the case was filed, the focus was on arguing intentional homicide, at the time, public safety harm wasn’t prominent, it could totally wait.

Now things are different, intentional homicide has been pinned down tightly by Xu Liang, only public safety remains.

"Why don’t you head home, Judge Zhang?"

Xu Liang raised an eyebrow, "Shall I see you off?"

"I’m not so old that I can’t walk!" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Zhang Bo, exasperated, turned angrily and walked out.

Watching his back, Xu Liang exclaimed.

"Tsk, so dedicated."

After saying this.

He went upstairs, heading towards his home, planning to send Zhang Bo off later.

Why was Xu Liang so sure he would meet him again...

Because he had more than one letter of understanding in hand.

He had already collected eight!

And what does the letter of understanding have to do with him?

Just thinking about it, Xu Liang couldn’t help but laugh.

...

Meanwhile.

In Hongfu District.

"Building A, unit 719..."

"Hello, I am Judge Zhang Bo from the grassroots people’s court of Hongfu District, due to your strong personal wishes regarding the Zhou Xu case a month ago, I hope that..."

"Oh, oh, you’re planning to withdraw the lawsuit and you’ve signed the letter of understanding, right..."

"We respect your wishes..."

"No. 219, self-built house..."

"Knock knock knock~"

"Is this Mr. Qian, I am..."

"You’ve also offered understanding? Well... alright, I respect you..."

"..."

One o’clock in the afternoon.

In the scorching heat of 33°, a bewildered, sweat-drenched middle-aged man stood on Hongfu Avenue.

Zhang Bo was dumbfounded.

After leaving Zhao Liang’s place, he visited seven more households and discovered something that made him feel hopeless.

That is...

All eight victims have expressed understanding!

Eight! A full eight of them had been mesmerized by Xu Liang, not only showing understanding but some even begged Zhang Bo for leniency for Sun Quan!

The victims begged the judge to be lenient with the perpetrator...

Zhang Bo now felt his head pounding!

"For endangering public safety, all the victims have signed understanding letters, which means it can only be judged based on the impact...."

He murmured as he stood on the street.

Judging based on the impact alone means a light sentence, and both Sun Quan’s intentional injury and accidental manslaughter charges would be lightly sentenced...

If it were intentional homicide, even a light sentence would be years or even decades.

But for Sun Quan’s crimes...

Even with light sentencing, it would in all likelihood be probation!

What is probation? Probation means that once procedures are completed, he can go home directly!

As long as there is no criminal record during the probation period, there is no need to serve a sentence...

"There’s still one more..."

Suddenly, Zhang Bo’s cold heart was reignited.

He placed his hope in the last victim.

There were nine victims in total, three of whom hadn’t finished preparing their dishes after purchasing the ingredients.

And the last one is one of these three!

"Hongfu District, Building C, Unit 301."

Zhang Bo took a deep breath, noted the address, and resolutely turned back towards Hongfu District.

What if...

What if this last one still wants to hold someone accountable!?

With this thought, he quickened his pace.

Soon, he arrived back at the entrance.

Looking at the iron gate in front of him, Zhang Bo took a deep breath and reached out to knock.

"Knock knock knock~"

"Is anyone home?"

As soon as the words fell.

A sound of footsteps came from inside, and Zhang Bo’s heart tensed to the extreme.

Until the footsteps stopped at the door.

"Squeak~"

Accompanied by a creaking sound, Zhang Bo instinctively wanted to express what was weighing on his heart.

However, when he saw the face of the person in front of him, his expression immediately froze.

"Judge Zhang, we meet again."

Xu Liang opened the door and came out, with a sincere smile on his face.

Zhang Bo: ?

"Wait, you..."

Zhang Bo was bewildered, looked down at the file, and then at the person in front of him.

He looked down and then up again, up and then down, as several question marks flashed through his mind.

"Judge Zhang, don’t bother looking, the last person to offer understanding is me. The name written, Xu Fuqiang, is my Uncle Zhao, the owner of this house. I am the actual victim."

Facing the utterly confused Zhang Bo, Xu Liang kindly reminded him.

"As for my thoughts... haha, of course, it’s understanding!"

Having said that.

Xu Liang suddenly raised his eyebrows and tentatively spoke.

"Judge Zhang, can I now, as a victim in this case..."

"Plead with you to grant the perpetrator a light sentence?"

Zhang Bo: ?

In just a moment.

Zhang Bo’s blood rushed to his head, his entire face flushed red, he trembled with anger as he looked at Xu Liang, gritting his teeth.

L-Litigator!

Confounded, who the hell let this brat become a lawyer!!!

"Who was your law professor!? Who taught you to handle cases like this!?"

"Oh, Judge Zhang, why are you insulting me..."

"Get lost!"
