Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 65 - 61: The Letter of Understanding in Hand!

Chapter 65: Chapter 61: The Letter of Understanding in Hand!

"In the legal profession, reputation is everything!"

"Ms. Zheng, do you really think I would tarnish my reputation for Sun Quan? Do you think I wouldn’t make money in the future just because of Sun Quan?"

"I have professional ethics."

"Rest assured, as long as you sign this letter of understanding..."

Xu Liang seemed to transform into a devil whispering temptations into one’s ear.

Even the smile on his face appeared eerie at this moment!

"We guarantee that Sun Quan will not press charges against you!"

After he finished speaking, Zheng Mei’s face showed uncertain emotions as she sank into despair.

Letter of understanding...

She didn’t want to sign it!

Zheng Mei didn’t want to sign this; she wanted Sun Quan to be sentenced to death, she was almost driven mad by this desire!

Zhou Xu was 25, and he didn’t even have the time to enjoy the money he made from human trafficking before he died, and even implicated the Zhou family...

A fury lacking in logic surged within Zheng Mei.

Suddenly, she lifted her head with a cold, shadowed gaze and looked at Xu Liang. She opened her mouth and said:

"What if I don’t sign?"

Don’t sign?

Yang Ruoxi’s smile vanished instantly.

She looked at Zheng Mei with a stern face, expressionless, as if she was gazing at a corpse.

"Don’t sign?"

"Heh, you can try."

Yang Ruoxi spoke flatly, unaffected by the other party’s imposing manner.

"According to Article 240 of the Criminal Law."

"Trafficking of women and children is punishable by a fixed-term imprisonment of more than five years and less than ten years, with eight cases warranting a fixed-term imprisonment of more than ten years or life imprisonment."

"And in particularly severe situations..."

As she spoke, her eyes flickered with a cold smile directed at Zheng Mei.

"Death penalty!"

Xu Liang had countless cases to prove it in his past life; human traffickers sentenced to death would indeed die!

He Cong once trafficked 12 people, seven being infants, and was sentenced to death after arrest!

Yu Huaying, who trafficked 17 people, some even sold abroad, was sentenced to death after being caught!

Lv Jincheng, Huang Haowen...

Countless examples hung overhead like death stars, constantly reminding!

"Ms. Zheng, you’d better think it through."

Yang Ruoxi looked coldly at Zheng Mei, giving a disdainful glance.

"Heh."

"This letter of understanding... should be you begging us to sign!"

After those words, instantly, Zheng Mei’s eyes turned bloodshot with anger, her frail hands clenching involuntarily.

Yang Ruoxi’s words were not a threat.

But a statement!

Zheng Mei was more aware than anyone of the magnitude of her crime; she knew clearer that once she fell into the hands of the police... survival was impossible!

Even hoping for a suspended death sentence was a luxury!

She didn’t want to die.

She was only fifty, she had money, she could live for decades more, there was no reason to die...

Zheng Mei’s fists clenched tightly, muscles taut.

Seeing the situation was about ready, Xu Liang knew it was time to step in.

"Pop!"

"Why are you talking like that, young lady!?"

"All that talk of death penalties, so inauspicious, we are here to negotiate, not to threaten!"

Xu Liang tapped Yang Ruoxi’s head with a stern face, then smiled again at Zheng Mei.

He spoke gently.

"Ms. Zheng."

"You see, Zhou Xu is dead, but we are still alive, the Zhou family is still alive."

"If I say, you just sign this letter of understanding, it would be good for you and for me."

"Then leave time for the Zhou family to find a way to reduce the sentence!"

One person played the good cop, the other the bad cop.

After those words,

Zheng Mei fell silent, only from her tightly clenched fists could one see the depth of her inner turmoil.

Seeing this.

Xu Liang placed the letter of understanding to the side, saying softly:

"Ms. Zheng, the letter of understanding is here, two copies, whether to sign or not is up to you."

"We’ll be waiting outside for your answer."

Saying that, he pulled the expressionless Yang Ruoxi out of the room.

"Creak~"

The door closed.

Xu Liang and Yang Ruoxi stood silently waiting outside.

There were also neighbors around who initially intended to console Zheng Mei, but seeing the two ’guardians’ at the door, they abandoned that thought, looking curiously.

To this, Xu Liang cast them a gentle gaze.

It was uncertain how much time passed...

"Creak~!"

The tightly closed door slowly opened a crack.

Just as the two were turning around, the letter of understanding floated in the air.

At the same time, Zheng Mei’s voice came through.

"Get out!"

With that, the door immediately slammed shut.

"Bang!"

Xu Liang didn’t mind the curse; he squatted down, picked up the pre-printed letter of understanding, and looked at it.

At the previously blank signature line, two clear characters were written.

[Signer: Zheng Mei!]

Success!!!

Xu Liang and Yang Ruoxi immediately looked at each other.

Without a word, they got up and headed towards the car nearby.

"Hurry up, get in the car!!!"

Once in the car.

Yang Ruoxi didn’t hesitate, she stepped on the gas, and the car roared forward.

"Vroom~!"

The car sped along the road.

After driving an unknown number of kilometers until they exited Yangtong Town, they gradually came to a stop.

"Creak~"

They stopped the car.

They exchanged a glance, their expressions slowly turning peculiar, finally unable to contain it...

"Heh heh..."

Yang Ruoxi suddenly let out a giggle, lowered her head, and laughed, her cheeks dimpling, struggling to suppress her laughter, her body trembling a little.

They got it...

They really got the letter of understanding!!!

Honestly, Yang Ruoxi had signed letters of understanding before, but obtaining one this way was a first!!!

Xu Liang also smiled, examining the letter of understanding once more.

"Wow, your acting isn’t bad."

He looked at Yang Ruoxi, for the first time showing an appreciative gaze.

He thought she might falter doing this for the first time...

But her acting...

was flawless!!! 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Yang Ruoxi had already wanted to laugh, and being praised by Xu Liang made her smile widen.

She tried to suppress the curve of her lips, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t hold it down, finally turning her head to look to the other side.

"Hmph~"

Xu Liang was stunned.

After two months, he also figured it out.

His landlord couldn’t take compliments; once complimented, she’d become contradictory.

But it didn’t matter.

Xu Liang pulled his thoughts together, looking down at the letter of understanding.

Now with the letter of understanding in hand, and the biggest problem of Zhou Xu’s murder having a solution.

Then he...

Xu Liang’s eyes gleamed.

Perhaps he could attempt to set his expectations for this case even higher!

"Yang Ruoxi," he suddenly looked over at his companion.

"Hmm? What’s up?"

Yang Ruoxi snapped out of it, turned her head to look at him.

"How long until the Sun Quan case gets filed and goes to court?" Xu Liang calculated his remaining time.

"Should be soon."

Yang Ruoxi said, recalling what Wang Chao had casually mentioned to her recently.

"This case handover is my brother’s responsibility..."

"Honestly, if Captain Chen dares to hand the Sun Quan case to Chao to handle, I estimate they’ve examined almost everything."

"Within this week, the prosecution should be filed."

"Within a month, the first trial will open!"

A month, huh....

Xu Liang pondered for a moment, then his eyes flashed with brilliance.

"That’s enough!"
