Who Made Him a Lawyer?

Chapter 499: Chapter 362: Confessions

It’s not a death sentence.... If he performs well, maybe he can receive a very light sentence. Considering the current situation, the only crime he committed with direct evidence is the desecration of a corpse, and it’s uncertain whether the trafficking incident even occurred.

As for whether Xu Liang will turn on him....

Liu Meng knows that those who work for the judiciary often adhere to the law more than anyone else!

However.

"We can’t go now."

Liu Meng suddenly shook his head and said.

Can’t go now....

Beside him, the anxious Su Yu paused and instinctively asked, "Why!?"

To completely clear Lv Xiong’s name.

The most important aspect is to know why Hu Hua was shot!

Liu Meng doesn’t know, but someone inside the zoo does!

The other side must know how the sold individuals were used. When the information is exposed along with it... Even if Lv Xiong is sentenced to death in the second trial, Xu Liang can overturn the verdict and change it to not guilty!

Of course, they certainly won’t let him be sentenced to death in the second trial.

So the sooner, the better!

"Why?"

Xu Liang suddenly spoke, looking at Liu Meng, and said:

"Because he still doesn’t want to die."

Doesn’t want to die....

Liu Meng didn’t respond, which was a tacit acknowledgment of this fact.

Xu Liang’s current situation is very dangerous.

Su Yu and Yang Ruoxi may not have felt it yet, and Xu Liang hasn’t told them, purely because he doesn’t want them to worry, and thanks to the operation in the first trial!

The first trial seemed like Xu Liang’s defense direction was wrong, only focusing on reducing the sentence....

But also because of the reduced sentence defense, Zhang Fei and others weren’t rushed to deal with Xu Liang!

Their goal is for someone to take on the crime; whether the sentence is reduced or not, it means someone takes responsibility.

So Xu Liang seemed like he was helping Lv Xiong, but in reality, he was also helping Village Chief Zhang and Veterinarian Sun!

The other side not only doesn’t oppose but is likely to cooperate with the court and Xu Liang during the investigation period.

But...

"If the zoo is investigated, the reaction will be different."

Xu Liang slowly began to speak, offering a rough explanation.

The zoo has some very fatal clues.

If he goes over there, especially if it’s with Liu Meng... without any surprises.

That very day, he should be prepared to eat a bullet!!!

As for whether it’s exaggerated....

"Someone is keeping an eye on our movements."

Xu Liang slowly said, he does not think Liu Meng is being overly dramatic.

Yang Ruoxi was shocked upon hearing it, "Really!?"

"Naturally it’s true, remember at the courthouse entrance, a reporter once said ’the inside scoop, I initially approached Liang Yu, but then did a defense for Lv Xiong, which is very unethical’ those words."

Xu Liang slowly said.

Few people know about this.

Xu Liang’s law firm, the police, and Liang Yu.

Only these three parties know, who could have spread the news?

First exclude my own law firm, Wang Feiyu couldn’t possibly sell me out, the police won’t either, and Liang Yu wouldn’t have the mind to betray me.

Unless from the moment the case was filed, Liang Yu has been targeted!

"That reporter must have been directed to attack, to smear me."

"The goal might be to mess up my mindset, or perhaps to provoke my defiant behavior."

"In any case, it’s to get a quick result in the case."

Xu Liang slowly said, "Those calls from the teachers, those media outlets not listening to officials... should be the ones at the courthouse entrance, also instigated by the criminals."

The other party is targeting him.

That is akin to monitoring him, and Xu Liang even dares to say... the fact that he came to Liu Meng’s place is probably already known to the opponent!

Now if he takes Liu Meng straight to Yang City....

The moment they get off the car, that bullet would probably shoot straight for his head.

"I see."

Yang Ruoxi realized, suddenly feeling a chill on her back.

To be able to manipulate media outlets... undoubtedly powerful!

What are these people doing idling around in Sanma Village?

Even going so far as to kill someone like Hu Hua....

The more Yang Ruoxi thought, the more frightened she became, until Xu Liang’s voice interrupted her.

"Mr. Liu, the time is almost up, I will come back to find you soon."

Xu Liang was seen packing his briefcase, with a gentle smile on his face as he stood up and extended a hand to Liu Meng.

Looking at this hand, Liu Meng’s face turned increasingly grim.

He didn’t want to shake it, considering the other had tricked him.

But sadly, under the pressure of power, Liu Meng took a deep breath, stood up, and shook his hand.

"Pleasure working with you."

Xu Liang said smiling cheerfully.

Immediately, he left with his team, walking slowly outside.

Liu Meng said nothing, didn’t get up to see him off, just coldly watched the other leave.

Before long....

"Bang!"

The door was slammed shut.

Liu Meng remained motionless, but his expression was very troubled.

Until...

"Beep beep beep~!"

A sound suddenly rang out, and Liu Meng looked down to see the phone placed on the table vibrating continuously.

[Caller ID: Zhang Feng]

Liu Meng held the phone, looking at the two characters above, his expression constantly changing, only pressing the call button after a long time.

"Hello?"

Liu Meng said expressionlessly.

"Did that lawyer come to you!?" Zhang Feng’s voice came through the phone.

Just as the other party left, the phone call came...

"Are you monitoring me?" Liu Meng was shocked inside, subconsciously glancing around.

"Ha-ha, why would I monitor you when I’m free?"

"I just want to control the lawyer’s movements."

Zhang Feng spoke, then changed the topic and said:

"What did he come to you for!"

"Did he find out something?"

Liu Meng hesitated to speak, then hesitated again, finally taking a deep breath and said grimly:

"No, he came to ask me to defend Lv Xiong."

"Lv Xiong has mental issues, the other party thinks I might have seen the insane Lv Xiong when I went up the mountain. If I can testify in court, it would greatly enhance Lv Xiong’s defense for sentence reduction."

Upon hearing this.

There was a long silence on the other end of the call.

Whether he was thinking or not is unknown; after a long time, a sound came from the speaker.

"Sentence reduction... It’s best to let Lv Xiong die!"

"As long as he dies, this matter will be over."

As long as Lv Xiong is alive, he will always be a hidden danger. This also led to the public attack on Xu Liang, accelerating the case and potentially getting Lv Xiong a heavy sentence. It was a double benefit.

"I think the same." Liu Meng replied smoothly.

"How did you answer him?"

Zhang Feng suddenly shifted the topic to Liu Meng.

’Damn old fool!’

Liu Meng’s face turned ugly, cursing the other inwardly.

The lawyer barely asked about the sentence reduction defense, only glanced and figured out Liu Meng’s emotional issues, even guessed about the slingshot problem.

The entire time, Zhang Feng heard barely anything that mattered!

How to answer that?

Luckily, Liu Meng could fabricate!

He racked his brains, speaking after creative processing, leaving Zhang Feng on the other end in prolonged silence.

Until...

"Hmm, I see."

Zhang Feng’s voice came, then the call ended, and hearing the ’beep beep’ sound, Liu Meng sighed in relief.

This matter was covered up.

But...

Thinking about the zoo issue, Liu Meng couldn’t help but worry again.

If the zoo issue gets exposed, even if he doesn’t die, he’s sentenced to prison.

If the sentence is heavy... can he ever come out?

In the spacious living room only one murmur echoed for a long time.

"Hope that lawyer keeps his word...."

....

....

Rose District parking lot, inside the car.

"The slingshot on the wall is powered by fingers and palms. Long-term use causes calluses, but Liu Meng doesn’t have such signs."

"I checked Liu Meng’s personal info earlier, living alone but retaining a wedding photo, showing he still misses his ex-wife at least."

"Just use this latter information to bluff, it’s easy to get something."

Listening to Yang Ruoxi’s murmurs beside him, Xu Liang fastened his seat belt, replying casually.

"Nothing much to say, normal people can notice that."

Yang Ruoxi’s eye twitched, Su Yu beside her also fell silent.

So they weren’t normal people...

Forget it.

The two sensibly moved past the topic.

"What’s hidden in Sanma Village? Why are there so many victims!?"

Yang Ruoxi frowned tightly.

Twenty-three disappearance cases were already absurd enough.

Listening to Liu Meng, the victim count would only grow!?

What on earth is Sanma Village doing!?

Xu Liang didn’t know, but he knew how to get answers, his brows furrowing, pondering for a moment before his eyes focused.

"Find a way to get to Yang City’s zoo!"
