Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Isn't that shameless?

Isn't that utterly shameless?!

The moment those two sentences were uttered, the entire meeting room fell silent. Everyone quieted down, sitting still and even holding their breath, afraid that any slight movement would attract attention.

Everyone stared at the person above, their faces frozen in shock, their eyes revealing astonishment.

other side....

What are you saying?!

The host was the first to react.

The reporter was the second to come to his senses.

"Stop filming! Stop filming!!!"

The host immediately approached the reporters and photographers present. His face was grim. He covered the camera with his hand and whispered something. Then, the host walked over.

Looking at the deathly silent scene, he steeled himself, picked up the microphone, and began to speak:

"Haha, it seems that Attorney Xu may have some misunderstanding about the Provincial Lawyers Association."

"However, the main purpose of this meeting was to review classic cases. Now that the case reviews are complete..."

He intended to smooth things over.

It's a pity.

"Master Li, let him speak."

In a daze.

A voice came from the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and it was Lu Guohua speaking personally.

Host Li paused and turned to look.

Lu Guohua was expressionless, and his resolute face, typical of middle-aged men, now appeared somewhat ashen. "The meeting room is for reviewing classic works. Since he has doubts about the review process, he can certainly speak up."

Song Xuejiang from the Provincial Procuratorate also spoke up.

The words were spoken.

The entire conference room fell silent again, not a sound could be heard, and the more than one hundred people present were unusually quiet.

Host Li felt a chill run down his spine.

He glanced at Xu De, then at Feng Ji, whose face was ashen and even turning purple, and finally gritted his teeth.

Forget it.

do not care!

"Attorney Xu, please continue."

Host Li turned to Xu De and said something, then stepped down and stood closer to the front row.

Upon seeing this, Xu De nodded, and then his gaze swept across the area below.

To be precise, his gaze swept across the expert area.

Those who were scanned were cursing under their breath and all tried to dodge, fearing that they would be called out by the other party.

Ultimately...

His gaze was fixed on Feng Ji to one side.

"President Feng, you should be familiar with this card, right?"

Xu De raised his hand, waved the bank card in his hand, and began to trick the other party into saying something.

As he swayed, everyone's gaze followed his movements.

bank card. .

In Xu De's hand was a plastic card, not very fancy, and very small. It was hard to see clearly from a distance, but even if you couldn't see it clearly, you could tell that it was a bank card!

"Huh, I've never seen this card before."

under.

Feng Ji took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his chest.

At the same time, an unprecedented sense of panic surged into his mind.

The other party... dared to expose this matter openly during the review meeting!

How dare you?

How could that be!

Bar associations and large law firms collude to give low scores to similar cases in other cities in order to compete for local review slots. This is an unspoken rule, an accepted practice!

Why did they suddenly bring this up in the open?!

A madman. A complete madman!

Feng Ji had considered everything. He had thought that the other party might be insincere and that they might retaliate after the review meeting.

I really didn't expect that the other party would expose this matter right at the end of the review process!

"It's not my place to prove that."

Feng Ji took a deep breath, a hint of calm in his eyes, and forced himself to ignore the figures in the front row.

"The proof should be provided by the accuser!"

He began to speak.

He is a smart man. Smart men never fall into the trap of self-justification, because self-justification is never truly proven.

"it is good."

Xu De nodded, a faint, gentle smile still on his face.

But to others at this moment, this is a forced smile, a classic case of a smiling tiger!

"Gentlemen, since Chairman Feng has asked me to testify, then I will make a few accusations."

Xu De slowly left the speech area. He walked to the front, from left to right, so that everyone in front could see him clearly, before finally speaking: "On January 21st."

"That is, the day after the review of the '18th Middle School Case' was completed in Lusen City."

"Sun Jianshan, a lawyer from Lanhua Law Firm, knocked on my door. Here, I'll explain to those who have come from afar and don't know what Lanhua Law Firm is."

"Lanhua Law Firm was personally founded by Chairman Feng and is based in Qingwu Province. It boasts extremely vast legal resources, claiming to be the largest law firm in Qingwu Province and the 12th largest nationwide!"

"So, what does this lawyer from a big law firm want with me?"

His voice echoed throughout the conference room.

The crowd below had various expressions, but most of them still turned their attention to Feng Ji, who was standing in front.

Feng Ji clenched his fists tightly, feeling the piercing gazes, but dared not make a move.

He could only stand there, his face grim, staring intently at the other person.

Unfortunately, line of sight poses no threat whatsoever.

Xu De's voice continued.

"At first, I was also confused, until the other party told me..."

"Acquire!"

"That's right, Blue Flower Law Firm, they intend to acquire our firm."

"Of course I refused, but then the other party blurted out: 'If you don't agree, then Blue Flower Law Firm will...'"

The cases submitted for review by the review committee.

Ultimately, who gets selected and who doesn't will be determined by their ranking based on scores.

The Bar Association and the expert panel together account for 40% of the scoring power; of course, these people are not of one mind.

But Feng Ji can at least command a considerable number of people!

They can give low scores to competitors and high scores to the rest of the cases.

This difference between low and high means that the lower party receives double the amount, making the judging process extremely difficult.

Hear this.

Lu Guohua, Song Xuejiang, and the others frowned, glancing at Feng Ji behind them from time to time.

Scoring is an unspoken rule.

Giving a case a targeted lower score is also an unspoken rule.

but. .

You cannot collude with others to collectively give multiple cases negative scores.

Furthermore, one must not use the review meeting to seek personal gain in negotiations for acquisitions!

"Disgusting...filthy!"

under.

Feng Ji was so angry that he was trembling all over. He was breathing rapidly and his chest was heaving violently.

"This is blatant slander!"

"I've never heard of this so-called Sun Jianshan!"

A louder voice refuted it.

Whether it's slander or not, we can decide for ourselves!

"Whether this card belongs to Sun Jianshan or not, the judging panel can find out. And who Sun Jianshan is, and whether he works for Lanhua Law Firm, is something Attorney Feng can also investigate independently!"

Xu De rejected the offer outright, showing him no leeway whatsoever.

"And you, this person who relies on the review committee to seek personal gain..."

"Ha, I believe you."

"That can also be found out."

The words were spoken.

Xu De then stopped targeting Feng Ji and instead surveyed the entire conference room. He paused, then said in a deep voice:

"Gentlemen."

"The purpose of the provincial review committee is to guide the direction of the judicial process in Thanh Wu province."

"All actions taken must revolve around the three elements of 'openness, impartiality, and fairness.' Only in this way can we gain the support of the people and enable the judiciary to make progress."

"Before I came, I intended to add fuel to the fire and make things even more interesting."

"But now, due to the personal interests of the Bar Association President Feng Ji, the entire judicial direction has been indirectly affected. To be honest, I..." He paused, then shook his head. He didn't say it explicitly, but anyone with eyes could see the word "disappointment."

Anyway...

"I apologize, everyone, for taking up some of my personal time."

"That concludes my statement."

talking.

Xu De tossed the card in his hand onto the ground in front of the speaker, making a crisp "smack" sound, clearly indicating "the evidence is right here, whether you investigate or not is up to you."

then.

He then walked towards the audience seats below, and everyone's eyes followed his movement.

As Xu De passed Feng Ji, he didn't even stop walking, as if the other person was air, and simply ignored him. Then he calmly sat down in the last row. Of course, he sat down alone and did not sit next to Huang Shi and the others.

One second

Two seconds... three seconds...

The meeting room was eerily quiet.

An invisible pressure emanated from them, making it hard for everyone to breathe, as if a huge rock was pressing on their chests.

a long time.

A cold voice suddenly came from the front row.

"Meeting adjourned!"

The two words struck like thunder, resounding in everyone's ears.

The next second, Lu Guohua and the others stood up and walked out expressionlessly.

Du Wei also stood up. Before leaving, the bank card was personally handed to him. He turned around, glanced around the meeting room, and his eyes were very unfriendly.

He usually doesn't attend review meetings.

The meeting wasn't high enough for him to appear in court.

I came here purely to see what the future judicial direction would be, but who would have thought that this would be the last time I came...

"Hehe."

Du Wei glanced at the expert panel and gave a cold smile.

Immediately afterwards, he clutched the bank card, turned around, and left.

Once all these people have disappeared.

The host then came to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward to speak:

Meeting adjourned.

That concludes this session. Please stay tuned for further updates!

In theory.

The process of adjourning the meeting is also very complicated, but it is clear that no one is thinking about the process anymore. So, as the host said "Meeting adjourned," the meeting ended.

A growing commotion gradually emerged inside the meeting room.

The tense expressions on everyone's faces, which had been tense with shock, gradually relaxed, revealing clear emotions.

"Give a low score? Does the Bar Association have that privilege?!"

"Wait a minute, giving low scores is an unspoken rule. But using it for personal gain is another matter. Using power to assign scores to whichever case the Bar Association wants is bribery!"

"He really dares to speak his mind. Those guys down there probably want to eat Feng Ji alive..."

"Damn it, I wasn't involved when Feng Ji pocketed the money, but if he gets punished next, I'll definitely be implicated!"

"Shh, keep your voice down, or Feng Ji might hear you."

"Heh heh, he should worry about himself first."

There was a slight commotion inside the meeting room at first.

Then, the commotion gradually grew, and finally, everyone couldn't hold back any longer and spoke up in astonishment.

To be honest, rating is an unspoken rule.

No one will say anything about that.

But when it comes to interests, things are different, especially when the other party sends people to threaten you, which is no small matter!

Not to mention, Xu De complained about it right in front of Du Wei!

"Let's go too."

The back row.

Zhang Bingxin and Huang Shi glanced at Xu De, who was getting up to leave, and their faces showed a hint of emotion.

other side..

They're really brave.

Upon reaching the top, even when facing Lu Guohua, Song Xuejiang, Du Wei, and others, he was still able to calmly expose these things.

It was revealed before the new year!

Most people would have backed down long ago.

"Walk."

The group hastily dispersed.

The rest of the people in the conference room also left together, but before leaving, they glanced at Feng Ji in front of them.

Feng Ji's face was ashen, and his chest heaved violently.

final..

"Damn it, filth, blatant filth!"

Feng Ji gritted his teeth, stood up, and walked outside.

He did indeed seek personal gain, and this wasn't the first time he had used the tactic of threatening to annex.

But he is also a lawyer.

The president of the provincial bar association!

Mediocre people can't sit in this position.

He must be crazy to hand over his bank card to the other party before the review process!

Unless, of course, the other party is slandering.

"Da da da"

Feng Ji walked out of the administration building, his face grim as he got into his parked car. He then spoke to the driver:

"Back to the law firm!"

The driver instantly understood, then stepped on the gas, the engine hummed, and the four wheels turned toward the law firm.

Not long after...

"Bang!"

Blue Flower Law Firm.

Feng Ji pushed open the glass door, his face grim, and strode into the law firm.

As he walked, he untied his briefcase or the tie that was binding his throat and tossed it to his assistant beside him.

Upon seeing this, Sun Qiao, who had been waiting for the results in the hall, quickly stepped forward.

"director."

Feng Ji didn't say anything, but just walked into the office on his own.

"Squeak!"

The door opened, and Feng Ji stepped inside.

Sun Qiao slipped inside, closed the door, and then looked at Feng Ji.

"Director, how did the review meeting go?"

He asked, his face full of doubt, and said in a deep voice:

"I just tried calling the provincial authorities, but... I can't get through to any of them."

He had calculated the time precisely and assumed the review meeting should have already concluded. Logically, the province should have a clear understanding of the case's score. Just like last time, although the exact score wasn't known, whether it was below or above the average of previous years was something he could know.

But it was different just now; he made a phone call...

I can't get through!

If it were just one person, it would be fine, but there were several people, and not a single one of them got through!

Sun Qiao's long-standing intuition told him that something had most likely happened, and it was no small matter!

as predicted.

"That madman... he's brought this into the open!"

Feng Ji took a deep breath, his face extremely pale.

Bringing this matter into the open?

Sun Qiao was stunned, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

Could it be...?

"At the review meeting!?" he asked tentatively.

Feng Ji nodded.

Sun Qiao was even more shocked, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

but...

"Fortunately, there's still room for things to turn around."

Feng Ji suddenly exhaled a breath of stale air, and the tense expression on his face began to relax slightly.

"I'm entrusting this matter to you."

"As for Sun Jianshan... hehe, I wonder where he made up that name from."
