Unauthorized charges...

To be honest, since the founding of the law firm, Xu Liang has worked on numerous cases.

Whether it was initial civil cases or legal services for small companies, he’s tried them all, but his fees were extremely low.

And worth every penny!

How valuable are they?

Let me put it this way: when the Hongfu District Criminal Police Team was dirt poor, Chen Changchun heard of his fees and wished he could hire him 24 hours a day!

Even people as stingy as them thought the fees were low, so... who exactly reported the unauthorized charges issue!?

"What’s going on?"

Xu Liang frowned, asking in a deep voice:

"What exactly happened!?"

In Upper City.

Inside an office.

Wu Chengjun glanced around.

Today, the office felt different....

What was different?

The number of people was especially large!!!

Upper City University’s Law School’s Professor Zhang, Finance Department’s Professor Fu, Law’s Teacher Sun, Shuimu University’s Scholar Liu....

Looking around, they were all the top scholars in Eastern Country’s academic circle!

Every time they published a paper, it would cause major tremors in the academic community.

Now, they were gathered together...

More than a dozen middle-aged people frowned deeply, their expressions clearly unpleasant.

Who were they?

The older siblings, fathers, and teachers of Xia Yao, Wang Feiyu, and others...

Yesterday, on the afternoon of March 18, they received some news.

Someone... reported serious ethical issues concerning their children’s practice!

Upon hearing this, they were stunned.

Instinctively, they believed their students couldn’t possibly do such a thing, but after seeing the information provided by the other side, they frowned again, eventually contemplating recent actions of their students.

What action? Joining a law firm!

They naturally knew the law firm was Xu Liang’s, which meant it was Wu Chengjun’s student’s firm.

Wu Chengjun was trustworthy, plus Xu Liang’s performance last year had shocked everyone, so they thought it would be a good move, even if it meant working for free to build connections of such a caliber!

But after only a few days...

They were reported for unauthorized charges!

Initially, they thought Xu Liang had character issues, so they came to ask Wu Chengjun for an explanation.

But upon opening the door to Wu Chengjun’s office, they saw more than a dozen people similar to themselves.

Immediately, everyone exchanged looks and understood one thing....

"No? Are you sure there’s none?"

Wu Chengjun frowned deeply, ignoring the surrounding gazes, pondering for a moment, then asked:

"What have you been doing recently? Did you provoke anyone?"

This large-scale, precise report...

If there’s nothing wrong internally, it must be a deliberate external attack!!!

Xu Liang paused, suddenly spoke:

"Recently I’ve taken on a legal aid case, but there’s something odd about it."

Legal aid?

Everyone in the office immediately focused intensely.

Wu Chengjun pressed further:

"When did you take it on?"

"At noon, yesterday, March 18 at twelve." Xu Liang replied.

Taken on at noon, reported by the afternoon...

Wu Chengjun and the others immediately understood.

"Alright, I’ll handle this...."

Wu Chengjun’s face turned grim, immediately assuring his students.

Using extralegal means to fight a case....

That’s practically the tactic of a litigation rogue! Entirely unethical, doing whatever it takes to win!!!

However....

"Wait!"

Xu Liang hurriedly stopped the other party.

At this moment, he showed hesitation and frowned, falling into contemplation.

"Teacher, what exactly are those so-called pieces of evidence? I don’t recall signing any contracts."

Suspending for rectification requires evidence.

He’s always been cautious, how could he leave such incriminating evidence!?

Besides, he never signed any unauthorized charge contracts.

Even when Sunzhou’s Sun Zhongmin tried to give him three million as thanks, he righteously refused!

"It’s not you signing, it’s your law firm!"

Wu Chengjun spoke:

"Yesterday, Xia Yao, Wang Feiyu, and others accepted some consultation inquiries, including face-to-face special consultations."

"Your contracts had issues; initial suspicion is that contracts were swapped or lawyers were misled."

"After the other party left the firm, they used the contracts to sue your law firm!"

Lawyer fees really have huge pitfalls.

Like: [After this commission ends, an additional fifty thousand will be paid to xx as agency fee]

These words seem innocuous, but very easily held up in court!

Additionally, chaotic charging and not issuing invoices can lead to this.

However...

"No, such things can be seen as traps, Hanhai City’s judicial agency shouldn’t approve them unless...."

Xu Liang’s mind suddenly reeled.

His eyes flickered.

"Jiang City?" he suddenly uttered two words.

Wu Chengjun paused, nodded, realizing this was phone communication, responded:

"That’s right, those people are from Jiang City, under Jiang City’s jurisdiction, thus filing lawsuits locally."

"The court swiftly approved, then contacted Upper City’s judicial institution responsible for your practice license; they verified and were preparing to penalize you, but someone intervened..."

With these words.

The three people in the car were all stunned.

Xu Liang and Yang Ruoxi Su Yu exchanged glances.

Jiang City court reporting?

If this whole affair was orchestrated by Zhao Hailong, then... why would the court cooperate with him!?

Xu Liang calmed himself, suddenly realizing something.

He thought about the fraudulent judicial identification agency entirely in favor of the defendant, that is, Zhao Hailong’s autopsy report which was accepted...

Normally, this shouldn’t happen.

Unless...

"Someone in the court is hiding, among them!?"

Yang Ruoxi furrowed her brows, straightened up, her pretty face full of shock, her eyes overflowing with astonishment.
