Who Made Him a Lawyer?
Chapter 380 - 267: Report to the Upper City
The judicial system in Eastern Country has a great aspect, which is the ’avoidance system’.
For example, if you were born in Hanhai City, and you become the president of the Hanhai City Intermediate Court, then your child cannot work as a lawyer or judge in Hanhai City.
If you become the president of the Higher People’s Court of Lanshan Province, then you cannot be a lawyer or judge in the Lanshan Province area.
If it’s the Supreme Court, you cannot be one in certain municipalities directly under the central government, and after the establishment of circuit courts, you basically can’t be one nationwide!
The information presented in court is the same...if a witness is a family member, their testimony credibility will further decrease, and since Xu Liang and Wu Chengjun are mentor and student, so...
"According to the law, we should avoid it!"
Wu Chengjun said in exasperation:
"But why are you still actively seeking such crucial evidence from your mentor?"
Xu Liang quickly said, "Teacher...."
"I’m not your teacher, I have no student like you!" Wu Chengjun interrupted.
Xu Liang: ...
It’s difficult to coax a girl.
It’s actually not easy to coax an old man!
Xu Liang thought for a moment, changed his strategy, and suddenly said:
"Teacher, do you really want to see people like Feng Nan die slowly on their hospital beds!?"
"Do you know that the Mutual Aid Association involves a total of 55 lives! Including more than a dozen children aged seven or eight, They are just a bunch of innocent kids!"
"Do you really want to strip them of their right to live1?"
In the courtyard, Wu Chengjun was stunned, then quickly stood up and said hurriedly:
"How could that be? How could you think of your teacher that way? Am I that kind of person!?"
"Besides, what you are saying has nothing to do with what I asked you..."
He had not finished speaking before being interrupted.
"Then why do you say this about me!!!"
Xu Liang’s tone was filled with anger.
"Your teacher..." Wu Chengjun was speechless, just about to explain.
"You’re not my teacher, and as a student of mine, I don’t have a teacher like you!"
Xu Liang said angrily.
Good... it sounds so familiar. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Wu Chengjun had a feeling he had heard these words somewhere before but couldn’t be bothered with it, immediately saying:
"I’m just saying, your methods may be a bit... a bit questionable."
"What’s this and that!!!"
Xu Liang was very dissatisfied, and said to Wu Chengjun in exasperation: "Teacher, have you forgotten the principles of our school!?"
Wu Chengjun felt a bit embarrassed, quickly saying:
"Of course, your teacher hasn’t forgotten."
The principle of the school is ’not guilty in heart!’
"Teacher, do you know that I have a clear conscience!?"
"As a student, I’ve been working tirelessly, even facing false accusations, being scolded by others, and had to shamelessly submit documents to the plaintiff."
"Just to buy some time for clients who are about to die!"
Xu Liang said with great pain:
"As a result, it’s okay if others don’t understand me, but why are you also like this, teacher!?"
"Do you think I want to be shameless, being ridiculed by others as I submit information?"
"Take it, take it, if you don’t allow, then take it, I’ll send it to you right now, you just put this document in the safe, take it with you in the coffin in a hundred years!"
"Don’t you dare give this document to me!!!"
Wu Chengjun felt somewhat ashamed.
He subconsciously felt that it was inappropriate when he saw the newspapers later.
But hearing Xu Liang’s words, his face turned red, feeling that he lacked the demeanor of a teacher, questioning his student over such a small matter.
Wu Chengjun immediately said:
"I’m sorry, I’m sorry, your teacher wasn’t really angry, just thought that having connections of kinship, relatives could easily be a target of attack by opponents."
"Teacher understands you! Teacher has always understood you!"
"What a litigator, child we are not litigators, we are just capable and clever."
"As for the manuscript... it’s just a manuscript, you can use it whatever way you want, from now on this thing is yours, even if you use it to wipe your ass, your teacher will have nothing to say!"
Given to me?
Xu Liang was secretly delighted, so perhaps this could be used for defense in the future.
But he said nonchalantly:
"No, I don’t want this thing with its ties to kinship!"
"My good student, if you don’t take it, your teacher has no other compensation for you."
Wu Chengjun’s tone softened a bit, like a grandpa being reprimanded by his little grandson.
"Alright then."
"I won’t hold grudges... of course, not because of the said manuscript, you know the kind of person I am, I never care about these things."
Xu Liang said disdainfully, "Mainly, it’s enough that you already knew your mistake, teacher."
Wu Chengjun was very touched.
Sure enough, his student would never make things too difficult for him, just saying a few words was enough!
Contrary to himself, questioning his student immediately... just thinking about it made Wu Chengjun feel uncomfortable.
He quickly sought to make amends:
"By the way, what did you call the old man for?"
"Are you short of manuscripts again? No worries, your teacher has some left... if it’s really not enough, I will thicken my skin and borrow some for you!"
"Teacher, do you think I’m the kind of person who relies on connections!?"
Xu Liang said angrily, then shifted the topic, "As for asking the teacher..."
"Do you know anyone in the Health Commission?"
Health Commission?
This can be found in the city, but since it’s a phone call from Upper City, it naturally refers to the Health Commission of Upper City.
That is to say....
Wu Chengjun paused for a moment, discussing business, he also fell into thought, and then said:
"I don’t have any connections."
No connections?
Xu Liang was a bit surprised, then heard Wu Chengjun continue to say:
"I only know a few deputies, who I can talk to, but don’t have much personal connections."
Xu Liang: ?
Only know a few deputies?!
And you call this having no connections...
Xu Liang’s mouth twitched, and a vague understanding of the old man’s network dawned on him, yet he didn’t let it delay him from the main issue, continuing:
"Teacher, you should have a general understanding of the Qingshi City case."
"But... this general understanding is really only the surface, which I deliberately put out."
Xu Liang said slowly.
Initially, he considered contacting the Health Commission directly.
But it was impossible; contacting the Health Commission would inevitably delay the fake medicine case. Forget about a month; even half a month’s delay, Feng Nan and the others couldn’t afford!
Moreover, since the experiment didn’t continue, it wouldn’t have any impact, so he decided to proceed with the first trial first.
The first trial didn’t expose the pharmaceutical company’s actions.
Given the circumstances, the publicity could be handled in advance.
Exploding this suddenly would certainly send the Health Commission into chaos!
So, he thought of a compromise... first successfully conclude the trial, putting an insurance wrap around Feng Nan and the others.
Then, he would inform the Health Commission of the case!
"The tip of the iceberg?" Wu Chengjun frowned, his heart thumping as if an invisible giant hand was squeezing him.
After a moment of contemplation, Wu Chengjun said solemnly:
"Are you sure?"
"The Qingshi City case is no joke; if the public opinion is not controlled well, it will spread abroad, becoming a spectacle for foreign countries!"
Matters concerning children... no country would ignore that.
But even this is just the tip of the iceberg!?
Wu Chengjun couldn’t comprehend what scale of a case it would take for such...
And Xu Liang’s assessment was...
"In terms of severity, it has already surpassed the Sunzhou Steel case."
Xu Liang stated honestly.
Surpassed... steel?!
Suddenly, Wu Chengjun’s pupils constricted, every hair standing on end, instantly understanding the severity of the case.
The steel case had already spread abroad!
The official bodies have been revolving around it for months, and the customs are still on lockdown!
Considered the most severe social case in decades, but still... it’s less important than the black market smuggling blood case?
What does this case hide?
"Teacher, everything I’m about to say now can guarantee the authenticity of the situation, all information I have investigated. Apart from the criminal gang, my assistant, and a police officer, you’re the only one who knows the inside story."
Xu Liang took a deep breath and began explaining the information he had investigated in a solemn voice.
"Superstar Pharmaceutical Group was founded twenty-three years ago in Qingshi City."
"Founder Han Chengguang, originally a factory manager at an animal medicine plant, later...."
As the time ticked away.
Pieces of information spilled from Xu Liang’s mouth.
Physical examinations, leukemia, data collection, thousands of children, 32 types of medicines...
Wu Chengjun’s initial preparedness turned into surprise, then from surprise into shock, finally.... terror!
"Are you sure!?"
Wu Chengjun’s voice came from the speaker, obviously several octaves higher.
Xu Liang solemnly spoke: "I’m sure."
"We already have detailed information and data on some victims, you can send people to check anytime."
"What I mean is... before the second trial arrives, I hope the Health Commission can quickly arrange aid for the victims and be prepared for public relations in advance."
After speaking.
The two sank into silence.
After a long time, Wu Chengjun didn’t ask further questions; he only said:
"Okay, I’ll do it!"
He didn’t ask further questions, nor did he doubt.
He knew Xu Liang’s character, never spoke falsely, nor exaggerated!
The steel case was like this, the organ trafficking case was also like this!
Now this case... if spoken, it would only be understated, not overstated!
As the words fell.
"Beep, beep, beep~"
The call was disconnected.
Xu Liang exhaled a breath, a sense of relief rising within him.
He felt as if the heavy burden on his shoulders disappeared.
This matter may not impact if dragged on, but... as long as it isn’t submitted, his heart wouldn’t rest for even a day, as if Mount Tai pressed on his shoulders!
Now that it’s submitted...
"Heh, Blue Shield Law Firm, Chai Shiring... loves fame, loves reputation..."
Xu Liang pulled at the corner of his mouth, a hint of mockery on his face.
"Wish granted."
"Just don’t know if... you can bear the reputation!"
...
...
Upper City.
Wu Chengjun had a solemn expression, without any hesitation, not even wearing an overcoat, he immediately got into his car.
Foot pressing on the accelerator, despite being in his fifties, he drove at a speed that even young people dared not use, racing down the road.
When encountering traffic jams, he even left his car in uncongested areas, raising his legs to speed towards the Health Commission.
Fortunately, his four-courtyard residence was close to all key institutions.
Soon, he arrived, panting at the Health Commission.
A middle-aged man in a suit walked in the hall holding a file, paused upon seeing Wu Chengjun, then hurried over.
"Professor Wu, what happened to you?"
Wu Chengjun looked up at him and said solemnly:
"Secretary Zheng, help me get in touch with Old Zhou!"
