Chapter 301: Chapter 212: Using Her as a Scapegoat! [4/4]

There’s a rat hiding in the court.

Xu Liang knew this, but he didn’t know exactly who it was!

However, right now... it seems there’s a clue!

As he watched Liu Shennan’s gradually disappearing back, Xu Liang’s eyes narrowed repeatedly until only a slit remained. No one knew what was going through his mind at that moment.

And the defendant’s side...

"Phew, luckily, luckily, the case is still a civil compensation case..."

"There’s no problem on Liu Shennan’s side; her reasons are reasonable and normal, very clean. Even if it’s investigated, nothing would be found; luckily, luckily..."

"Jiang City has a small area with many people, the waters are very murky!"

"..."

Zhao Hailong wiped his sweat in apprehension, murmuring to himself.

He roughly guessed Xu Liang’s scheme now.

First, taking advantage of the situation, using Cheng Jia’s attack on the law firm’s license as a chance to hide himself from the front to the shadows.

This move is very vicious!

If it were in other places like Hanhai City, Qingshi City, or even Sunzhou, Xu Liang’s scheme would succeed!

No matter which lawyer it is, when facing a completely unknown opponent who’s extremely capable and even well aware of themselves, there’s an eighty percent chance of capsizing!

However...

This is Jiang City!

The presiding judge is Liu Shennan!

The other side hiding in the shadows means the evidence can’t be presented during the evidence period. If brought out, it would certainly be a surprise attack with evidence, and whenever there’s a surprise attack with evidence... Liu Shennan can reject it for valid reasons!

This is a reasonable rejection, even if the court president came, they would only say there’s been no recess for discussion rather than it can’t be rejected!

"A surprise attack with evidence... luckily, it’s in Jiang City."

Cheng Jia also felt a chill of fear.

Though the evidence Xu Liang submitted seemed ordinary, it was deadly for both of them!

Zhang Yong made a big blunder, the opposing side could easily destroy them using conventional processes, but fortunately, the presiding judge is Liu Shennan.

They lost.

But the outcome was akin to a victory!

"Leave quickly, otherwise..."

Cheng Jia suddenly felt a tightness in her chest as she looked up, glancing at the plaintiff’s side.

The plaintiff, Xu Liang, was showing a gentle smile now, appearing very cultured and refined, sitting in his chair calmly smiling at both.

Yet those eyes could be considered cold!

’Now we’re in trouble, he’s onto us....’

Cheng Jia felt a sinking in her heart, reporting the law firm’s license issue along with this case concerning Liu Shennan’s side....

Let’s put it this way, if she were Xu Liang, all the exhibits submitted during the trial being disapproved and dismissed... she would be consumed by rage!

Not to mention, this guy in front is someone who they just ambushed for his practice license!

"After going back, clean up Zhang Yong’s mess and cover up all the misses!"

Cheng Jia said quietly, then lowered her head, avoiding looking at Xu Liang.

She and Zhao Hailong quickly stood up, moving towards the large door in the distance.

The trial is over, they must prepare for the other’s retaliation.

For the kimchi factory and institution, things are usually fine, but...

They can’t withstand detailed scrutiny!

If Xu Liang decides to go all out against them, Zhang Yong’s exposed flaws will, overtime, surely be discovered!!!

And indeed, things were as they feared.

The plaintiff’s side.

"After going back, suspend Zhao Hailong’s practice license."

Xu Liang saw Zhao Hailong leave, immediately getting up and speaking calmly to Yang Ruoxi beside him.

An eye for an eye, it’s only fair.

Since the other side can use this trick... Xu Liang certainly won’t care about any professional ethics!

Yang Ruoxi paused for a moment, nodded, packed her things, then followed Xu Liang out.

Practice licenses are divided into two types: one is the law firm’s practice certificate, the other is the lawyer’s personal practice license.

Zhao Hailong and Cheng Jia do not have a law firm.

Meanwhile, over in Upper City, Xia Yao, Wang Feiyu and the others’ mentor... has long prepared evidence sufficient to directly revoke Zhao Hailong’s practice license!

If it weren’t for Wu Chengjun suppressing it, Zhao Hailong wouldn’t have even appeared in court for this trial!

But now... there’s no need to hold it down any longer.

...

Leaving the courtroom.

Xu Liang and Yang Ruoxi had just reached the court hall when two individuals sitting there, upon seeing them, became restless, standing up and approaching.

"How did it go?"

"Did you win the case!?"

These two asked in succession.

And they...

"We lost." Xu Liang looked at them and shook his head.

Lin Fuqiang, dressed in casual clothes, upon hearing this, showcased a trace of shock, saying incredulously:

"Lost... you lost!?"

His tone bore astonishment, his eyes filled with shock.

Indeed.

The visitor was Lin Fuqiang!

The individual beside him was Jiang City’s Director Sun Chuan, also dressed casually.

If the main responsibility of Sunzhou’s steel case lies with the environmental department, then for Jiang City’s current case... it must be the police to handle it!

This case for the police, is currently the worst and most atrocious case of 2005!

And looking nationwide, this case can be taken as typical!

Furthermore, once it blows up... the case’s influence will escalate.

If the trial had issues... the consequences could be immense, Lin Fuqiang needed to be informed of the inner workings.

"What happened?"

Lin Fuqiang asked in a deep voice, pondering for a moment, then probed:

"Was there an unexpected incident?"

"What kind of incident could render you helpless?"

Logically, he didn’t think Xu Liang would lose.

Sunzhou’s situation was a complete mess, yet Xu Liang managed to clean up the situation within a week!

Even though Jiang City’s case is bad, it’s not as chaotic as Sunzhou’s, he found it hard to believe Xu Liang could lose to Zhao Hailong and Cheng Jia...

As for why they were waiting for Xu Liang at the courthouse...

"Senior, Director Sun, you both... might need to wait a few days before formulating actions."

Xu Liang suddenly spoke again, then paused to add.

"There’s a rat in the courthouse."
