Who Made Him a Lawyer?

Chapter 518: Chapter 371: Riding the Momentum! Using Others as Tools!

Speaking, Wang Feiyu continued in a deep voice:

"The first trial resulted in a death sentence with a three-year reprieve, and even if the second trial changes the verdict, it won’t be by much..."

"Even if we win, it’s just life imprisonment, and a reprieve is essentially no different from life imprisonment."

"And yet you..."

Given the current public opinion, if Xu Liang dares to appeal the second trial... he will undoubtedly face an even fiercer outcry than in the first trial!

Wang Feiyu didn’t want to see this scenario.

The best course of action would be for Xu Liang to take a few weeks off, lay low, and then win a few impressive cases to restore his reputation.

But then again.

"As the saying goes, ’Seek wealth in danger!’"

Xu Liang smiled, then looked up at Wang Feiyu behind him.

At this moment, Xia Yao was walking slowly with Liu Meng.

When Liu Meng saw Xu Liang, he showed a sheepish smile but didn’t run away.

After hearing Wu Lei’s words and knowing what Sanma Village was doing... Liu Meng lost the desire to escape.

Fleeing would surely be a dead end!

He just wanted to make some money and didn’t want to die; on the contrary, if he stayed and cooperated with Xu Liang, behaving well might even reduce his sentence!!!

So, after coming to the law firm yesterday, he and Wu Lei were more obedient, as if competing to see who could be more compliant.

Seeing this.

"Take care of the law firm; I’ll be back soon."

Xu Liang didn’t hesitate, turned around, and left with his people.

Watching his back, Wang Feiyu and Xia Yao wanted to speak but held back.

Until Xu Liang’s figure disappeared, the two still didn’t say anything and sighed.

"Why don’t you try to persuade our senior!" Xia Yao looked up, blaming Wang Feiyu.

"If I could persuade him, he wouldn’t be our senior."

Wang Feiyu sighed a bit ruefully.

Perhaps it was precisely because of his bull-headed stubbornness that the law firm has grown to its current state in just a year.

Xia Yao sighed.

"Alas, our senior is still too kind..."

...

"Say the wrong word, and your life might be at stake, you know!?"

Meanwhile.

Driving Liu Meng to the court entrance, Xu Liang looked at Liu Meng with an uncertain gaze and casually threatened him.

"Gulp~"

Liu Meng swallowed and smiled awkwardly.

"I understand, I understand!"

On the way, Xu Liang had already told him what to say and what not to say.

For the sake of his own life, Liu Meng had memorized it by heart.

Hearing this.

Only then did Xu Liang nod in satisfaction, then looked up at the imposing Lanshan Province High People’s Court in front of him.

He took a deep breath, then lifted his foot and slowly walked step by step up the stairs, moving inside.

He hadn’t visited the High Court in Lanshan Province many times.

But he had already familiarized himself with the route to the filing court.

Before long, he stood in front of several staff members at the filing court.

"This is the appeal for the Hanhai City shooting case, please take a look."

Xu Liang handed a file to the person in front of him.

Upon hearing this and seeing the appeal...

The staff in front of him was stunned, furrowing their brows.

An appeal?

Appeal the second trial of the Hanhai City shooting case!?

The first trial had sentenced a reprieve... And yet, they wanted to appeal the very next day after the verdict!?

This seemed quite reckless.

The staff frowned, unable to help but look up at Xu Liang.

"Are you sure?"

"And... I can’t guarantee your appeal will pass."

After a verdict is pronounced in the first trial, appealing for a second trial isn’t without reason.

Either the first trial verdict was unreasonable, or something was discovered, which allows for an appeal for a second trial.

Otherwise, the High Court might very likely reject the appeal!

As for Xu Liang’s evidence....

"We have sufficient reasons to believe the defendant is not guilty!" Xu Liang said with a smile.

Sufficient reasons...

The staff was stunned.

"This is the whistleblower. According to his description, when he entered the crime scene..."

"He saw three people present at the murder scene."

Xu Liang spoke slowly.

He had just one purpose for coming to the High Court.

Let the hero investigate the hero, let the good man investigate the good man!

Perhaps he can’t investigate the Dong family, but... the provincial police department, the provincial high court, and the prosecutor’s office can definitely investigate them!

So he must... leverage their authority!

"And among them, one is called..."

"Dong Feiyu!"

Long after.

Xu Liang left the High Court with Liu Meng.

Not long after.

In the office of the Criminal Division One.

Presiding judge Shi Shan looked at the message from the case filing office, his brow furrowed, doubt arising in his mind.

"Ruled yesterday, appealed today..."

"Didn’t even appear in the first trial, yet hurriedly appeals for a second trial... what is he trying to do?"

"The person who reported the case? The person who reported the case has given new testimony?"

Shi Shan looked at this information, his brow twisted into a knot, unable to figure out what the other side was up to.

"And Dong Feiyu... the Dong Feiyu from the Dong family?"

"What does he still have to do with this case? Hiss... a bit tricky."

After much thought, he finally composed his thoughts.

Xu Liang’s intentions were unknown to him.

He only knew that the court need only deliver a fair ruling.

But merely delivering a fair ruling is not enough; first, the information Xu Liang provided was too vague. The case handling personnel must have the ability to discern information and investigate!

There are not many people in the Criminal Division One with such abilities.

Shi Shan pondered for a long time, and finally... his eyes flashed, a candidate came to mind.

"It’s decided, it will be you!!!"

...

"Second trial!?"

"Wasn’t the courtroom just closed yesterday, why a second trial today!?"

In the Intermediate Prosecutor’s Office.

In the office of Group Four, a young man received the news, his face showing a look of astonishment.

The office staff also frowned.

Just received the news that in the case of Lv Xiong, the defendant’s side actually appealed, wanting a second trial!

It was only yesterday that the judgment was issued!

The other side didn’t even wait, directly appealed... not even twenty-four hours had passed, what made him think he could proceed to a second trial?

Remember, once the second trial loses, unless the case is overturned, Lv Xiong will have no option but to carry out life imprisonment...

"Indeed, his absence in the first trial was definitely not due to alleged diarrhea!"

Prosecutor Huang Ren immediately made the connection, his face immediately darkened.

He was questioning Xu Liang’s absence yesterday.

The media’s so-called fear, or Yang Ruoxi’s talk of diarrhea, was all nonsense to him!

The other side was definitely plotting something!

Now the news of the second trial came out... conveniently validated his view!

Just...

"Not attending the trial to gather evidence? This person..."

Huang Ren’s face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

It was his first time encountering such an unconventional lawyer, who could give up the first trial to gather evidence, this was downright madness!

But the issue also arose.

"Daring to appeal for a second trial, is it because... he found something?"

Huang Ren furrowed his eyebrows.

Compared to winning, a prosecutor’s duty leans more towards ’truth’.

If Xu Liang truly found evidence, then he could accept losing, however....

"Why does it feel weird, as if... I’m being used as a pawn?"

Huang Ren fell into silence, pondering repeatedly, and finally composed his thoughts.

Whether or not being used as a pawn... as long as the truth can be uncovered, it doesn’t matter to him.

Huang Ren stood up, glanced at his team members, then solemnly said:

"Prepare yourselves, then...."

"Go make a public prosecution at Lanshan Province’s Provincial People’s Court!"

....

....

As time passed, the news of the second trial gradually spread.

Apart from the court and prosecutor’s office.

Another place also showed some interest in this matter.

Lanshan Province, Qingshi City.

City outskirts.

This is a desolate suburb, hardly anyone comes here, yet it doesn’t seem barren.

Why?

Because....

Here stands a modern manor spanning over twenty thousand square meters, splendidly majestic, resembling a royal dreamlike mansion!

The interior of the manor is extremely grand, ordinary villas are akin to toilets here, with several gardens, and additionally, artificial rock formations and flowing water.

Even the air is permeated with a sweet scent named ’luxury’.

This is...

Dong Manor!

And in one of its rooms, upon hearing the information reported from the phone, a young person suddenly displayed a ferocious expression.

"You’re saying...."

Dong Feiyu’s face looked grim as he listened to the information transmitted from the speaker, a surge of anger brewed within him.

He truly couldn’t understand how just casually killing someone could lead to being entangled for so long!?

"That case has someone appealing, still not letting it go..."

"Is it that lawyer!?"
