Hong Kong Movie: At the beginning, Big Boss B asked me to draw the death lottery

Chapter 15: In my opinion, the more expensive, the more professional

In the only private room of Haoyou Ice House on Fuhua Street.

Before two o'clock in the afternoon, He Yaozong met here the last man who came to discuss debt issues.

“Mr. Qiu, among the three accounts I took over, you are the one who owes the most.

"Two hundred and eighty thousand, speculating in real estate is not something that ordinary people like us can handle."

"Yes, yes, thank you sir for helping me this time, otherwise I don't know how I would survive!"

A middle-aged man with fluffy hair and black-framed glasses seemed to be reborn. He stood in front of He Yaozong and nodded and bowed hurriedly.

He Yaozong waved his hand, collected the debt and completed the contract.

Then he said, "Our welfare agency sees you as a rare talent, so they are willing to help you this time.

Remember what I said today, when someone asks you how you solved your debt problem, just say it was help from relatives.

If you accidentally let something slip, we have the right to recover your debt."

"I swear to God, I won't let anyone know!"

"Well, congratulations, you can go back and live a peaceful life with your wife and children."

After sending the man away, He Yaozong reached out and picked up a briefcase on the chair next to him.

After he went back in the morning to pay off a bad debt of 50,000 yuan, Long Gen praised him highly and gave him a few bad debt contracts from Da D.

However, Long Gen was not completely unkind. In his joy, he even gave his mobile phone to himself.

Although it's a bit old, it's still usable.

He Yaozong was not in a hurry to proceed with the next step of the debt collection contract. He had some more important things to do first.

Taking out the mobile phone that Long Gen gave him, He Yaozong dialed a number.

The phone beeped twice and then someone picked up the phone.

A sweet female voice came from the mobile phone.

"Hello, this is Chen Tianyi Law Firm. How can I help you?"

"Miss, I called to make an appointment this morning. Is Attorney Chen available now?"

"Mr. He, yes, Lawyer Chen is available right now. You can come see him now."

"Okay, I'll be right over.

By the way, Miss, your voice is really sweet."

After He Yaozong hung up the phone, he immediately picked up the documents on the table, put them into his briefcase, and left the ice room with a smile.

……

Since the establishment of Hong Kong Island, Central has been the most prosperous area.

Looking back at Hong Kong Island’s century-long history, no matter how chaotic other areas were, this place was the only one that managed to maintain a thriving stability.

There is not even a trace of any community activities in this place. Even if there are any, most of them are legitimate businesses run by some large and powerful communities.

On the 15th floor of Building B of Jardine House, in the reception hall of an office building facing Victoria Harbour.

The receptionist from Chen Tianyi's law firm walked over with graceful steps and smiled at He Yaozong.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Mr. He.

Lawyer Chen is waiting for you in his office. Please follow me."

"Thank you very much, Miss."

Following the receptionist through the long office area, at the very end is the office of Hong Kong barrister Chan Tin-yee (Chen Tin-yee - from "Escape from the Claws").

The receptionist knocked on the office door, and a strong voice came out from inside.

"Enter!"

"Sir, you may come in."

The receptionist made a 'please' gesture and then opened the door for He Yaozong.

"Thank you."

As he entered the office, He Yaozong smelled the refreshing fragrance of tea.

A middle-aged man in his forties, with a neatly slicked-back hair, was sitting at a paulownia desk, looking at him with a smile. This man was undoubtedly Chen Tianyi.

It is worth mentioning that even in Central, where every inch of land is valuable, Chen Tianyi’s office is very spacious.

The office is nearly 800 square feet, but is decorated in a very simple and elegant style.

Draw open the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows and enjoy the scenery of Victoria Harbour.

"Mr. He, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Chen Tianyi stood up and extended his right hand to He Yaozong. The two shook hands symbolically, and then Chen Tianyi invited He Yaozong to sit down.

"Mr. He, would you like tea or coffee?"

He Yaozong waved his hand to refuse.

"No need, Lawyer Chen. I know your time is very valuable. Let's get down to business."

"OK, your consultation officially begins from now on. The price is 500 yuan per minute, capped at 10,000 yuan."

Chen Tianyi glanced at his watch and then made a gesture of invitation to He Yaozong.

To be honest, as a senior barrister, there are few people who put utilitarianism on the surface like Chen Tianyi.

However, He Yaozong liked Chen Tianyi's style. If there was a clear price tag, the higher the price, the happier he was.

With the mentality of how to finish the twenty-minute conversation, He Yaozong began to talk.

"Mr. Chen, I want to consult you about something.

I have a friend who used to be in a gang. He was sentenced to nine and a half years in prison by the court for taking the blame for a murder case.

If he wants to change his confession now, what are the chances of him being acquitted?"

When Chen Tianyi heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

He sat up straight and answered seriously.

"Mr. He, let me answer your question first.

If your friend simply volunteered to take the blame for someone else's murder, then even if he regretted and changed his confession, he is still legally guilty. This crime can be called obstruction of justice.

However, the punishment for this crime is generally not severe. According to the principle of double punishment for the same crime under Hong Kong law, if your friend has served more than two years in prison, he can basically be acquitted.

Of course, the prerequisite is that he voluntarily retracts his confession, so that the lawyer can help him."

After Chen Tianyi finished speaking, he paused without waiting for He Yaozong to speak.

"Mr. He, we can stop charging for consultation now.

Actually, I have a question for you now, and I hope you can answer it."

He Yaozong smiled and said, "Lawyer Chen, just charge the fees. Feel free to ask anything else."

"Well, I entered the legal profession at the age of 25, and cases like this where a society takes the blame is already commonplace.

If you want to overturn your friend's conviction, just find an elite lawyer in Central.

As long as your friend is willing, it is basically a sure thing and the lawsuit to overturn the verdict will be successful.

I don’t understand why you would go to so much trouble to schedule an appointment with my law firm.”

"Good question, Lawyer Chen. I can tell you right now, because you are expensive!"

He Yaozong leaned back in the soft chair and immediately started talking.

“There are only ten senior barristers in the Hong Kong Bar Association.

Six of them are experts who specialize in handling legal issues for foreigners, and two of the remaining four are self-righteous and are afraid of being labeled as litigation swindlers, so they refuse to take on the society's lawsuit.

Chen Tianyi became interested.

"Then why did you choose me among the remaining two people?"

"I already said it, because you are expensive!"

He Yaozong’s smile widened: “In my opinion, when dealing with elite people, expensive means professional.

I want the most professional people to do the most professional things for me."
