Who Made Him a Lawyer?

Chapter 492: Chapter 359: Twenty-Three Missing Persons Cases!

"Zhao Huaimin, is your brain stuffed with shit!?"

"What the hell are you staring at, can’t you see the news? Damn it, he was publicly praised just a few days ago, and now he’s under siege and you’re indifferent..."

"You’re all in cahoots, snakes and rats working together!"

"Damn it, the people studying journalism are all like this. I knew you were trouble..."

The moment the call connected.

Wu Chengjun’s mouth was like a machine gun, spewing a string of words instantly.

On the other end, a nearly fifty-year-old man named Zhao Huaimin’s face turned visibly red, yet he couldn’t find an opportunity to speak.

What do you mean, all journalism students are like this!?

Is he really that kind of person!!!

For a long time.

It was Professor Zhang who couldn’t stand it any longer and stopped Wu Chengjun, sighing:

"Old Wu, you should speak less. You haven’t even given Old Zhao a chance to talk..."

Upon hearing this, Wu Chengjun merely snorted coldly and fell silent.

Only then did Zhao Huaimin take a deep breath and say in a deep voice:

"I don’t have the authority to manage local TV stations and some company-run TV stations, but typically, once the state media has published news, no one will refute it."

Wu Chengjun hummed twice, his face dark, saying:

"Then you publish it!"

The state media represents Upper City’s stance, even if local TV stations are clueless, they generally won’t broadcast opposing matters.

Unless some TV stations have problems themselves.

However, these generally fall into two categories: one is foreign forces, and the other is reporters with problematic brains.

But Xu Liang’s news this time....

"I’ve already published the article!"

Zhao Huaimin was also frustrated internally, only feeling the air he breathed through his nose was slightly hot.

"The announcement was sent out at eleven in the morning, but how can I stop the rumors!?"

Once rumors start brewing, it’s very troublesome to manage them.

After all, the fact that rumors can brew indicates most people accept this viewpoint, and people tend to be self-centered, even if it’s debunked at this time, most will only believe what they want to believe.

And moreover...

"Some small reports are contradicting state media."

"The main force driving the rhythm now is also them, as if... there’s a grudge."

Suddenly, Zhao Huaimin hesitated, opening his mouth to say:

"Ask your student if they offended a newspaper?"

Contradicting state media?

Wu Chengjun was stunned, furrowed his brows, and started thinking carefully.

"Probably... not, right? I’ll call and ask."

"Old Zhao, see if you can contact those newspapers... count this as a favor for me."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Huaimin chuckled helplessly:

"Alright then."

Then.

They both hurriedly hung up the phone.

Wu Chengjun and Professor Zhang looked at each other, each seeing doubt in the other’s eyes.

"Law student offending a newspaper? Xu wouldn’t do such a thing, would he..." Professor Zhang hesitated.

Reporters have a natural suppressive effect on lawyers, and no lawyer would recklessly offend them.

Even Xu Liang should know this with his intelligence.

Wu Chengjun was aware of this principle too. He thought for a long time before finally dialing.

"I’ll ask."

...

"Offended a newspaper?"

In Hanhai City, within the Hongfu District Criminal Police Brigade.

In the corner of the hall, Xu Liang held the phone to his ear, a peculiar expression on his face.

The call was naturally from Wu Chengjun, and from the moment it opened, he was a bit dazed.

According to what the other party said, he now had a direct feel for the rumors about him, but it didn’t matter, because he had anticipated this before the trial.

But the problem is....

"Which newspaper did I offend!?" Xu Liang asked suspiciously.

His initial thought was to let them talk if they wanted to; it wouldn’t hurt him.

He just didn’t expect Wu Chengjun to directly react by asking a friend to have state media clarify the ’legal aid’ matter.

Even more unforeseen was when state media intervened, it provoked some stubborn people!

"You ask me, whom should I ask?" Wu Chengjun’s muffled voice rang out.

"Hey, is someone targeting me?"

Xu Liang raised an eyebrow, a slight smile appearing on his face.

He would never offend a newspaper, perhaps just a reporter.

However, now a bunch of newspapers are ganging up on him....

"Alright, I got it. Teacher, you should go have lunch first."

Xu Liang nodded, smiling as he said.

Upon hearing this attitude, Wu Chengjun immediately became agitated and scolded:

"How can you still be so nonchalant? This matter is serious, it’s about reputation, do you understand!? We study law, do you realize how important reputation is!?"

"Mm, mm, I know, I know. Teacher, why don’t you go write your paper instead?"

Xu Liang answered perfunctorily.

Then, before Wu Chengjun continued to berate him, he decisively hung up the phone.

Afterward, Xu Liang stroked his chin, his eyes revealing contemplation.

"What’s up, huh? Is there a reporter bashing you?"

Yang Ruoxi, who had been standing to the side all along, tentatively asked, her eyes full of curiosity.

Xu Liang came back to his senses, nodded, and said, "Hmm, there’s a bunch of people scolding me."

He chuckled, looking at her and asked:

"My reputation has truly become that of a ’lawsuit bully,’ do you, as the assistant to a ’lawsuit bully,’ have any thoughts?"

"I say!"

Yang Ruoxi spat, taking a deep breath.

"They’ve already cursed all the way to your doorstep, why are you still so nonchalant!?"

Clearly.

Yang Ruoxi was somewhat frustrated, like a mother watching her unpromising child, clenching her fists, angrily saying:

"Reporters are no good either."

"Damn it, these people who don’t recognize good intentions!"

Xu Liang chuckled happily, as if Yang Ruoxi was the one being scolded, not him.

After a long while, he restrained his laughter, pondered for a moment, then said:
