Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 111 - 107: Wu Chengjun: Whatever You Do, Don’t Become a Legal Shark!

"Probing for information? Why are you probing for news from Upper City?"

"Let me tell you, boy, don't think about exploiting legal loopholes... If things don't go well in the small place you're at, just find a few of your senior brothers or sisters, they won't stand by and do nothing."

"Whatever you do, don't get into a petty argument and turn into those unscrupulous litigators who would do anything to win a case!"

Upper City, within Upper City University.

Inside the law school office.

The fifty-something Professor Wu held his phone, speaking earnestly.

He's Wu Chengjun, both a professor at Upper City University and Xu Liang's mentor... A true mentor-student relationship, not just a simple teacher and student.

And his reputation...

Generally, those who study law might become one of two extremes.

One is extremely focused on upholding justice!

Such people are very clean and fair, once they occupy high positions, they are the biggest headache for the gutter rats!

The second type is those who are very good at exploiting legal loopholes, some famous litigators fall into this category.

Wu Chengjun is the former.

In the entire law school, there's no one who's unaware of Wu Chengjun's stern and stubborn reputation!

"Let me tell you, don't be led astray by malpractice after returning to the small place."

"Our sect must not produce those shameless litigators!!!"

Wu Chengjun advised earnestly, while those listening beside him looked at him with curious expressions.

Far away in Hanhai City, Xu Liang heard this.

His face was full of righteousness, with a look of deep disgust and he spoke:

"Exactly, our sect resolutely eliminates such scum!"

"Master, don't worry, even if I die of thirst, starve, or jump from Upper City University..."

"I will definitely not learn even a hair of a litigator!!!"

Upon hearing these assurances.

The wrinkles on Wu Chengjun's face relaxed into a look of gratification.

Although Xu Liang hadn't been by his side for several months to receive his teachings...

Judging by the current situation, this child still puts him at ease!

"That's good."

Wu Chengjun smiled, then took a sip of tea, and asked:

"You want me to inquire about some information?"

"What information?"

"Let me tell you, I can't divulge any illegal, confidential information."

The position of a university professor is very high.

Especially at Upper City University, based on Wu Chengjun's level, the secrets he is privy to aren't just a few, even a slight leak could bring disaster to a lot of people...

Xu Liang wasn't really interested in these matters, and straightforwardly said:

"Master, I'm just looking for something through my second senior brother, hoping you could help me inquire whether the Elephant Country embassy... is striving for something?"

Upon hearing, Wu Chengjun sat up straight in his office chair, his brows furrowed as he spoke:

"Embassy?"

After a moment's thought, Wu Chengjun understood Xu Liang's intention.

"Did a case arise on your end that requires connecting with the embassy?"

"Yes, just a minor case, but the identity of the arrested person is a bit special, I need to confirm some suspicions."

Wu Chengjun fell into contemplation, not outright denying.

As the saying goes.

You can't be a capable lawyer without connections and resources!

Xu Liang was merely asking attitudes within the sect, which was fine to divulge.

Wu Chengjun didn't make a declaration out loud, instead just remarked:

"Don't you have your second senior brother's contact number?"

Xu Liang replied:

"Ran into some jerks the other day, they stole my phone, and also took the card, now I can only borrow a friend's phone to call you."

Upon hearing this, Wu Chengjun then said:

"Alright."

"I'll help you contact your second senior brother, and shortly... shortly, he'll call this number to contact you."

Xu Liang's face lit up with a smile.

"Great, thank you so much!"

"Master, I wish you good health and all the best, now that you're older, don't always get angry, if there's any troublemakers at the academy, don't be too quick to get angry, we..."

Listening to this string of concerns.

Wu Chengjun couldn't help but smile, but still jokingly scolded:

"Alright, go take a break wherever you find it cool!"

"You take care of your health!"

Xu Liang promptly said the last sentence.

The next second, the call was ended.

Upon seeing this, he let out a deep breath, feeling the weight in his heart had been lifted off.

After all, sometimes it's best to utilize the sect's forbidden forces, only that can make the lawsuit run smoothly!

Only...

Xu Liang glanced at Yang Ruoxi beside him, who had her mouth agape, was already in a daze, her mouth forming an 'o', looking at him in shock, shaking her head.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"You... how can you lie with your eyes wide open!?" Yang Ruoxi was astonished.

Goodness, even deceiving your own master!!!

Strictly speaking...

He deceived even the old man! Based on the tone and attitude of the other party, although it was a scolding, it's clear... Xu Liang if he tried harder, might even coax out the pension!

Yang Ruoxi was dumbfounded!

Xu Liang felt no shame, instead, he was proud.

"Learn from this!"

He put the phone down on the table.

"Since Master agreed, it shouldn't take long..."

"Second Senior Brother will surely get back with news soon."

...

...

Upper City University, inside the office.

"Professor Wu, whose call was it? Why are you smiling like that?"

A female student in the office looked at Wu Chengjun with curiosity, pouring him a cup of tea in the process.

In her impression, Wu Chengjun was always a serious and stern figure, rarely showing such a smile.

"Nothing, just a student of mine."

Wu Chengjun slightly curbed his smile, but his eyes still hinted at amusement.

Upon hearing, the female student smiled, teasing:

"Then that student must have truly inherited your teachings."

Speaking of this.

Wu Chengjun's face showed a proud expression.

"Indeed, that kid is the smartest among all my students!"

"He understands things quickly and learns fast, coming from a farming background."

"Moreover... he's the most honest one among my students, the one who gives me the least trouble!"

"..."

Wu Chengjun couldn't help but praise Xu Liang to the heavens.

It's obvious he has a special fondness for him among the students, especially for his spirit of not bowing for money, which he greatly admires.

The girl beside him listened quietly, occasionally showing a smile.

After a long while, Wu Chengjun finally remembered the main business.

"That brat asked me to do something for him."

"I'm going to get busy."

Hearing this, the girl sensibly nodded and then left the office.

Wu Chengjun took out his phone, pressed a few buttons, and dialed.

"Beep beep beep~"

Before long, a chaotic noise sounded in his ear.

"Hello? Teacher?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Chengjun paused, his brows furrowed.

"Yang, why is it so noisy on your end?"

A second earlier, Xu Liang had asked him to inquire news from the second senior brother Li Yang.

A second later, as soon as he dialed the other side, a very noisy sound came through...

If someone said this was a coincidence, Wu Chengjun absolutely wouldn't believe it!

"Teacher, hold on, I'll change places..."

There was the sound of movement on the other end.

Before long, the chaotic discussion ceased, finally a voice came through.

"Teacher, go ahead."

Wu Chengjun hesitated to speak for a moment, eventually held his tongue, didn't pursue further, but conveyed Xu Liang's question.

"Your junior brother asked me to ask you, has there been anything unusual at the Elephant Country's Embassy in Upper City lately?"

Junior brother!?

The other end clearly paused, either because of Xu Liang or because Elephant Country was mentioned, but after a moment of silence, the other party suddenly spoke:

"Teacher, how does your junior brother know?"

"You ask me, who do I ask?" Wu Chengjun snorted.

Upon hearing this, the other end of the phone fell silent, then sighed and said:

"I won't hide it from you, teacher... there indeed is something going on at my end."

"The embassy of Elephant Country has been repeatedly requesting personnel from the Consulate Department because of a local criminal case, with a rather aggressive attitude."

"Requesting personnel?"

Wu Chengjun frowned, instantly understanding the other party's meaning in his mind.

"Political factors? Caught a spy?"

"No."

Li Yang on the other end rejected.

"It's a... criminal case."

"Criminal case!?"

Wu Chengjun was puzzled, "A criminal case provoking a very aggressive request for personnel?"

"And it's a local case!?"

What person would a criminal case need from them?

This kind of insensitive situation should be judged as usual, generally the country involved wouldn't bother to request personnel, ultimately relinquishing criminal immunity after discussion.

Only when sensitive matters are involved would the other side have a more aggressive attitude!

"Unknown, but the consulate seems to have speculated something."

Li Yang replied.

With such an attitude, the other side must be hiding something!

Not to mention after investigation, it was found that the person being requested was merely the husband of a secretary from the other side, apart from that there's not a hint of sensitive factor.

But the more it's like this, the great the matter the other side might be hiding!

After pondering, Wu Chengjun ultimately decided not to wade into these muddy waters.

He was over fifty, nearing sixty.

In a couple of years, he should retire and enjoy his later years, if he carelessly meddles around now, it wouldn't be good to end up losing his reputation.

"You communicate with your junior brother yourself."

"His previous phone got stolen, the temporary number is new, jot it down..."

Li Yang noted it down on the other end.

Before long, the two ended the call.

Consulate Department.

Inside the fourth-floor restroom.

Wearing a suit and an neatly knotted red tie, Li Yang sighed and put the phone back in his pocket.

He looked out the window, outside was a bustling view.

This is Upper City, and he works in the Consulate Department.

As for Li Yang himself...

He's about thirty-five, exuding a refined demeanor, standing tall at around 1.8 meters, with fairly strong features.

However, at this moment, Li Yang's eyebrows were deeply furrowed.

He sighed deeply, washed his face, dried it, and headed to the meeting room.

Under normal circumstances, Li Yang wouldn't show this kind of expression.

Even with other cases, he hadn't displayed such emotions!

But what he's dealing with now... is simply too bizarre!

A criminal case that the Eastern Country has clearly stated won't release anyone... yet the other side is urgent to take the person away!!!

If you say it's political reasons, Li Yang would believe it.

But it's just a criminal case!

Then again.

If the matter involved in this case is not merely criminal... then it could evoke such a reaction from the other side!

But... what could it be?

Li Yang now deep in thought walked towards the meeting room, recalling information transmitted by the task force jointly investigated by the Six Ministries, mulling over it.

Until...

"Squeak~"

Li Yang pushed open the meeting room door, only to see colleagues who were fiercely discussing earlier, now looking grimmer one by one.

Li Yang frowned.

"What happened?"

Upon hearing his voice, people nearby turned to look.

"Advisor Li, you're back."
