Hong Kong Giant Owl: Rebirth

Chapter 375 Unheard of
"Then do we just let the 'Fourteen K' people run rampant?" Zeng Yingxian clenched his fists and said.

Qin Haoran couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Then what do you think you can do? It's not like you haven't tried it yourself. You have tried the Legal Department, the High Court, the Police Department, and even the Governor of Hong Kong. The result? Once the 'Fourteen K' started, you almost lost your life."

When Zeng Yingxian heard this, the look on his face also became depressed.Indeed, compared to the "Fourteen K", a huge force that dominates both black and white, and covers the sky with one hand, Zeng Yingxian is really as humble and fragile as an ant.Relying on his own strength, to fight against the "Fourteen K" is simply like a mayfly shaking a tree.

According to Zeng Yingxian, due to the influence of the "[-]K", he also lost his job at Swift Law Firm.Even, the "[-]K" also used its influence to make the Hong Kong Law Society revoke Zeng Yingxian's lawyer's license, which is what Hong Kong calls "stuck".

Qin Haoran is quite familiar with the legal industry in Hong Kong. Generally speaking, there are two types of lawyers in Hong Kong. One is a lawyer, or becomes a solicitor or pleading solicitor, and the other is a barrister, also known as a barrister.The professional division of lawyers is quite clear. Barristers can only handle litigation matters, and solicitors can only handle non-litigation matters.

That is to say, only barristers can appear in court for prosecution and defense.The range of cases accepted by barristers is very narrow, and they often specialize in a certain law or a certain type of case, or a certain type of relatively large case, because their own professional skills have developed to a specific aspect up.

Generally speaking, the solicitor takes over the case first, and then hires or transfers it to the barrister according to the type of the case.However, the actual situation is that qualified barristers will open law firms, and then hire solicitors to work in the law firms to handle various cases for the barristers.

Therefore, in the legal industry, the vast majority of solicitors actually help barristers, so solicitors are also called "masters".

At the same time, there is still a kind of lawyer in the legal profession in Hong Kong.

According to relevant British laws and regulations, a barrister who has practiced for 15 to 20 years can submit an application, and after being nominated by the magistrate, the British royal family will confer the qualification of "Royal Counsel", which is also commonly known as "Queen's Counsel".This kind of title is a very high honor. Once you get this title, your prestige in the legal industry will be greatly improved, and the remuneration you will receive when you accept a case will be even higher.

To sum up, the lawyer circle in Hong Kong is divided into three classes, the lowest is the solicitor, the middle is the barrister, and the top of the pyramid is the "queen barrister".

In all areas governed by British law, including Hong Kong and other colonies, the number of "Queen's Counsel" is very small, only a dozen or so in total. Therefore, the status of "Queen's Counsel" is very high. If a law firm If there is a "Queen's Counsel" in the law firm, this law firm can become a leader in the industry, and the number of cases it accepts is much higher than that of ordinary law firms.

Moreover, if many wealthy people are involved in lawsuits, they like to hire these "queen counsel" to defend themselves in court.

"Queen's Counsel" is rare, and there are even fewer Chinese lawyers among them. Among the more than ten "Queen's Counsel", only one is Chinese. He can be called a Chinese leader in the legal field, and he is also a Chinese like Zeng Yingxian who has devoted himself to the legal field. idol.

Zeng Yingxian's Swift law firm has a "queen counsel", who is the boss of the law firm - Gordon Ben Swift.He is British, has been in the legal profession for 30 years, and is generally considered to be the "No. [-] lawyer" in Hong Kong.

"I'm just a 'Master' now. Originally, I wanted to get a barrister's license this year." Zeng Yingxian bowed his head and said: "As long as I become a barrister, I can formally appear in court for prosecution and defense. Unexpectedly, I After so many years of hard work, the 'Fourteen K' finally ruined it."

Zeng Yingxian's dream is to eventually become a "Queen's Counsel" and to be proud of the Chinese in the legal world.

Therefore, Zeng Yingxian's resentment towards the "[-]K" is not limited to the fact that the "[-]K" is domineering and overbearing, but also because the "[-]K" has ruined his dreams.

At this time, Qin Haoran asked: "Are you familiar with the laws of the UK and Hong Kong?"

Zeng Yingxian didn't know why Qin Haoran asked this question, but he still nodded his head: "Of course, I was studying at the University of Hong Kong at the beginning. To obtain a lawyer's license, British law is compulsory, but Hong Kong has reserved some The laws of the Qing Dynasty, although these laws of the Qing Dynasty are not in the scope of the exam, if you want to file a lawsuit for the Chinese in Hong Kong in the future, you must be familiar with all the laws in Hong Kong, so I have familiarized myself with all these things."

Qin Haoran nodded, and asked again: "Then which aspect of law are you best at?"

"Commercial law." Zeng Yingxian said without hesitation: "This includes laws in finance, shipping, commerce, trade, etc. I am quite good at these. When I was in a law firm, I also specialized in civil economics. Litigation cases."

Hearing Zeng Yingxian's answer, Qin Haoran was very satisfied.If Zeng Yingxian is the kind of lawyer who specializes in criminal law, Qin Haoran will not pay so much attention to it, but Zeng Yingxian is a lawyer who is good at commercial law, and Qin Haoran can't let it go. His staff lacks such talents who are proficient in commercial law .

"Mr. Zeng, now that your lawyer's license has been cancelled, what do you plan to do in the future?" Qin Haoran asked.

Then Zeng Yingxian's face darkened, and he said slowly: "To be honest, I don't have any specific plans now. I borrowed a lot of money to study in college, and when I was a 'teacher' in a law firm, my salary It’s not too high, and I still haven’t paid off those loans. Besides, I’ve offended the ‘[-]K’ now. Even if I can survive, I can’t gain a foothold here in Hong Kong, but I can’t go abroad, so, alas I don't even know what to do."

Zeng Yingxian was an orphan, his parents died young, and he was raised by a distant relative until he was 15 years old.However, his relatives also had children, so naturally they would not wrong their own children in order to raise him, so Zeng Yingxian, who was dependent on others, had a very difficult life.

In the end, because he couldn't stand the relative's cold eyes, at the age of 15, Zeng Yingxian came out by himself, and through his own efforts, he was admitted to the University of Hong Kong.Of course, Zeng Yingxian also borrowed a lot of money in addition to relying on scholarships for part of his tuition. Although he completed his university studies and became a lawyer through part-time work and part-study, he still needs a lot of money to pay off those debts. time.

But now, he lost his job, lost his lawyer license, and most importantly offended the "[-]K", Zeng Yingxian's life was threatened.

After learning about these situations, Qin Haoran was very happy in his heart, it was simply God sent talent to his door.So he immediately said to Zeng Yingxian: "Since you can no longer gain a foothold on Hong Kong Island, are you interested in doing things for me?"

"Working for you?" Zeng Yingxian frowned immediately.

Because Qin Haoran is related to the underworld, and all the underworld gangs that Zeng Yingxian has come into contact with so far are all bully organizations that cannibalize human flesh and suck human blood, so he doesn't have the slightest affection for people in the underworld, let alone give in for the sake of fame and fortune Under the influence of evil forces, it is for this reason that he still stands up for the neighbors of "Da'an Road" even though he knows that the "[-]K" is huge.

From Zeng Yingxian's point of view, if he worked for Qin Haoran, wouldn't he also become a member of the underworld, and join the gangsters together?

Seeing Zeng Yingxian's expression, Qin Haoran could immediately guess what he was thinking, so he said with a smile: "Although the business I do involves gangsters, there are also gangsters under my command. However, everything I do , I have never once targeted the working people, I do not deny that my hands are covered with blood, but it is the blood of wicked people, I can say with a clear conscience that I have never harmed innocent people."

"There are such gangsters in this world? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?" Zeng Yingxian scoffed at Qin Haoran's words.

"If you don't believe me, you can go to my site and have a look." Qin Haoran said with a smile: "I can guarantee that the situation there is definitely different from what you imagined."

Zeng Yingxian said: "The most fearful thing is that if I go with you, I will never be able to get rid of it."

"Mr. Zeng, I can see that you are the kind of person who is not afraid of power. The more pressure others put on you, the less you will give in." Qin Haoran said confidently: "I absolutely believe that when you If I found out that I deliberately tricked you into boarding the ship and tried to control you, you would definitely commit suicide and resist. I don’t want such a result, so I’m not afraid to let you see the real situation and let you make your own choice.”

Zeng Yingxian was completely stunned, because Qin Haoran immediately hit the essence of his character.

Indeed, if Zeng Yingxian found out that he was tricked into boarding the boat by Qin Haoran and couldn't escape, in order to resist Qin Haoran, he would definitely commit suicide.

Qin Haoran laughed again and said: "Although there are gambling stalls and brothels in my territory, we never do things like forcing people into prostitution, and, in my territory, I don't allow anyone to sell drugs. This is the 'Fourteen K' Remember the reason why you hate me. So, if you do things for me, you don't have to suffer from the torment of your conscience, because everything we do can be said to have a clear conscience!"

Hearing Qin Haoran's words, Zeng Yingxian was startled and suspicious in his heart, secretly thinking that there really are such gangsters in this world?
