Chapter 321: Chapter 223: I’m Not a Pervert!

"What you said is true!?"

The editor-in-chief’s pupils quaked, his breathing gradually quickened, and at this moment, his usual composure disappeared completely.

Zhang Tao didn’t speak. He just handed a few photos from Li Ye to the editor, which were taken when Xu Liang presented evidence during the trial!

Seeing this, the editor-in-chief’s eyes widened immediately, his pupils contracted.

Wang Hao, however, was a bit puzzled and tentatively said.

"Editor-in-chief?"

Upon hearing this, the editor-in-chief gradually came to his senses.

Li Ye rolled his eyes and spoke deeply:

"There were quite a few peers at the trial site, all from Qingshi City."

"They are locals, and they will publish very quickly. Brother Tao and I left the trial site early and rented a car to rush back."

"We were writing the article on the way, thinking it would be finished by the time we arrived at the office, and we could publish it smoothly, but unexpectedly..."

"We argued for half an hour."

Half an hour... In the news world, speed is money!

With a breaking news story, being a minute late could mean someone else beats you to it, let alone half an hour!

Thinking of this, the editor-in-chief was furious, turning his head to look at Wang Hao.

"Wang Hao! Apologize to Group Leader Zhang!"

Wang Hao was stunned, and the next second panic flashed in his eyes.

"Wha... What?"

"I told you to apologize!" the editor-in-chief shouted again angrily.

Apologize?

"My uncle he..." Feeling the attention from people around him, Wang Hao’s face flushed red.

"I don’t care who your uncle is! If you don’t apologize within ten seconds, get your stuff and get out!" the editor-in-chief said.

Upon hearing this.

Wang Hao’s face turned a variety of colors, red and green mixed together, finally...

"So... Sorry." Wang Hao said with a troubled expression.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tao and the editor-in-chief paid him no mind and quickly walked into the office to start dealing with the article’s details.

Li Ye glanced up and down at Wang Hao, recalling Xu Liang’s momentum during the trial.

He sneered:

"Not convinced? Then just take it!"

With that, he left the hall directly, leaving Wang Hao with an iron-blue face, feeling the eyes of those around him, his face burning hot.

Watching the other’s retreating back, Wang Hao clenched his fist.

...

...

Meanwhile.

In Hanhai City.

At Conscience Law Firm on Hongfu Street, Hongfu District.

"It’s been a while since I enjoyed a sofa, it feels so good!"

Although it was already night.

Xu Liang and the other two still first came to the law firm.

As soon as they opened the door, Yang Ruoxi kicked off her high heels and hopped over to the sofa in the reception area, flopping down.

Feeling the sofa’s bounce, her whole body couldn’t help but relax.

The Jiang City case, though not as grueling as Sunzhou.

But...

The sense of frustration it gave Yang Ruoxi was far greater than Sunzhou!

Firstly, there was the trickery and deceit. If it had been someone with no connections, or a lawyer who prides themselves on integrity and refuses to use relationships... the case would have stalled on the 19th.

Not to mention during the first trial, where no matter what Liu Shennan said, the judge didn’t acknowledge it, completely favoring the defendant’s side.

This sense of injustice made her feel very angry!

Fortunately....

The case was over.

"Can you have some manners?"

Xu Liang showed a disdainful look, then picked up the high heels kicked off by Yang Ruoxi.

The heels were classic black with a red sole, pointed at the front, exuding a seductive beauty.

Of course, Xu Liang wasn’t a foot fetishist, and wasn’t interested in such things.

"If you throw your shoes around again, I’ll confiscate them!"

Xu Liang said angrily, while Su Yu, beside him, took out the fruits she bought on the way home, washed them, and sat next to Xu Liang.

She tucked her hair behind her ear and peeled a lychee, pushing the white flesh into Xu Liang’s mouth with her jade-like fingers.

"Gulp."

Xu Liang chewed and swallowed it, looking at Yang Ruoxi disdainfully.

"Can you learn from Xiaoyu!?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruoxi, who was lying down, immediately pouted, and sat up straight, but grumbled:

"I’m just so tired, running around all day..."

As she spoke, her ten jade-like toes wiggled restlessly.

Xu Liang glanced unintentionally and then quickly withdrew his gaze.

After their playful banter.

He also set aside the playfulness and looked at the two people, thought for a moment, and raised a question.

"By the way, who wants to handle the follow-up criminal case?"

Qi Tao’s case was divided into two parts.

One part was the transition from civil to criminal, which Xu Liang was doing now.

The second thing...

Naturally, it was the so-called criminal part!

Qi Tao’s civil lawsuit was withdrawn and has been re-filed under criminal charges with Xu Liang’s help.

But the new round of trials...

To be honest, Xu Liang didn’t want to bother.

"The evidence is all laid out, the evidence from the kimchi factory, and Zheng Shijie’s side is well arranged, so a conviction can be directly obtained during the first trial."

Xu Liang said while eating a lychee:

"The case... shouldn’t have any problems, just go with the flow to settle it."

"Of course, if the defendant’s lawyer is really good... then it’s not that I can’t step in."

In such a situation, if Zhao Hailong and Zhang Yong can turn the tables, Xu Liang will write his surname backward!

Additionally, the public opinion on the case...

Xu Liang thought of the reporters in the trial audience, which included Zhang Tao. After Xu Liang revealed the Zheng Mei case, he realized that although the other party was young, he was good at guiding public opinion!

With the case known by the other party, the subsequent public opinion...

"Will most likely be huge, yeah... terrifyingly so!"

Xu Liang spoke with lingering fear.

This kind of morally bankrupt case, although not as influential as the Sunzhou case, will only have more public attention, not less!

While those not affected by the Sunzhou case may not care, this kind that goes beyond the moral bottom line of ordinary people is different, the shock from the words should not be underestimated!

So this case becomes an oddity.

Both easy to win and a big boost in reputation!

If nothing unexpected happens... after Qi Tao’s criminal case, a top-notch lawyer will be forged directly!

Regardless of skill, just the fame alone will reach that level!

In the past, becoming a top-notch lawyer would take ten or twenty years, how could it be possible otherwise!?

But this case is almost predetermined, whoever Xu Liang nominates becomes the new star, and this is only a fraction of the mass attention, the focus being on Xu Liang, creating top-notch fame from the overflow... terrifying indeed...

"Who are you two prepared to take this on?"

Xu Liang paused, looking at his two companions.

Little Xiaoyang, as his number one follower, has had little salary over the year, but expended a lot of energy.

Little Xiaoyu was about the same, the day she joined the law firm, she fainted on the spot, and Xu Liang felt guilty.

The overflow, anyone can take advantage of it, anyway, no loss!

Su Yu glanced at Yang Ruoxi, whose clear eyes exuded a sense of silliness, her gaze slightly trembled, and she said:

"Senior, maybe I should take it instead."

"Sister Yang’s condition may not be optimal, she frequently makes mistakes in trials, giving her this case... might not be the best solution for the client."

She spoke softly.

"I have some experience, when I defended Wu Yong, I did okay, barely able to keep up with Senior..."

Xu Liang fell into thought.

Yang Ruoxi’s ahoge stood straight up instantly, her gaze resolute, she straightened her back and sat cross-legged on the sofa.

"Why do you say I’m not in good condition!?"

"That was clearly because of Liu Shennan deliberately targeting me, for this case... you can hand it to me, I can definitely handle it beautifully!"

The case had already progressed to this point.

Even if Yang Ruoxi were to fall asleep during the trial, or even stand up and dance a ballet, the judge would probably have to begrudgingly rule in her favor with a black line on his face.

"Senior, I’m really worried about Sister Yang..."

Su Yu smiled, but in a flash, a trace of worry appeared in her eyes.

Yang Ruoxi became increasingly anxious, standing barefoot on the carpet, patting her chest, looking turbulent, vigorously assured:

"I can definitely handle it!"

"Do you believe me or not!?"

Seeing this, Xu Liang became even more hesitant.
