Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Chapter 235 A calculated move: "Stirring up the enemy in the grass!"

Inside the Third People's Hospital.

"Da da da..."

""

"Phew~"

Accompanied by hurried footsteps and breathing sounds, the figures of several people moved continuously through the hospital.

Soon.

The footsteps gradually faded away, leaving only the sound of rapid breathing.

In front of the ICU ward.

Police officer Zhou Jianshan instinctively turned around to look.

Several neatly dressed people, three men and one woman, walked into view, one of whom was not unfamiliar.

Zhou Jianshan paused for a moment, then subconsciously said, "Attorney Li."

The words were spoken.

The three words seemed to cause ripples in the pond, and several people around subconsciously looked up at the newcomer.

Someone come here...

It was none other than Xu Delin, Yue Lijian, and others!

They hurried as fast as they could and finally made it over.

"Officer Zhou, what's the current situation with the family?"

Li Jian took a deep breath and asked, intending to calm down, but his words came out with annoyance, and his anger was clearly audible.

"What's the situation with the family? How did they suddenly end up in the ICU?!"

Police officer Zhou Jianshan hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath, his face turning rather grim, before beginning to explain in a low voice.

And while they were explaining...

Sun Hu and the others were also sizing up Xu De.

On the right side of the ICU entrance, Sun Hu looked at the group, scrutinizing them closely. He raised an eyebrow at Xu De, seemingly deep in thought.

Zhou Ning, who had remained silent throughout, sat in the corner...

When Zhou Ning saw Xu De, his gloomy face froze for a moment.

The next second, he blinked sharply, as if he felt dizzy and was seeing some kind of hallucination.

Unfortunately, this was not an illusion. After blinking several times, the face was still the same face.

In an instant...

"Sizzle!"

Zhou Ning suddenly stood up straight, staring at the other person with an extremely ugly and gloomy expression.

He got up to leave.

Unfortunately...

"Attorney Zhou!"

On one side, Yan Mi, Haicheng's top lawyer, frowned and asked in a low voice, "Where are you going?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ning stopped in his tracks. His face was extremely pale. In the end, however, he took a deep breath, said nothing, and did not walk any further.

He showed no other unusual signs.

Yan Mi's brows gradually furrowed, unsure of what was wrong with the other person. In the end, he simply looked directly at Xu De.

As for Xu De...

"Um?

'

Where are they?

On Xu De's side, Yang Bing looked at the scene in front of him with a puzzled expression. Then he frowned and whispered to Xu De, "Director, there's a problem."

"The other side is missing two people."

"Attorney Li previously said that Sun Hu had four lawyers on his side, the leader of whom was called Yan Mi, but now... there are only two at the door of the ward."

"Two more lawyers are missing."

"Maybe she was assigned to do something..."

'

Upon hearing this...

Xu De frowned, secretly noting the matter down and keeping it in mind.

Then, he turned his gaze to the group of people.

Sun Hu... was overweight, his face filled with sorrow, but in his eyes... perhaps it was just his imagination, but the moment Xu De glanced at him, the other man seemed to have suppressed a trace of his ferocity.

If it's rigorous...

Xu De looked the other person up and down.

He was about 1.8 meters tall, in his forties, but his physique was still slim and well-maintained. His hair was meticulously styled, giving him the appearance of a gentle and refined middle-aged man.

only...

Xu De felt that the other party was more like a sinister snake hiding in the shadows.

A venomous snake that can suddenly lunge out and bite you if you're not careful, delivering a fatal blow!

"Honglang Law Firm, ranked 80th on the Hurun Top 100 Law Firms in Dongguo? A top lawyer from a boutique law firm in Haicheng!?"

Xu De narrowed his eyes as he looked at the person in front of him.

The two sides sized each other up, but no intense conflict arose between them.

until..

The voice of police officer Zhou Jianshan came through.

"Okay, okay... I'm glad you understand. Zhang... well, there's nothing I can do. The old man's health isn't good, and it's hard for him to accept this."

"But as you know, when a case occurs, the police always have to notify the family."

After finishing his conversation with Li Jian, Zhou Jianshan turned his gaze to Xu De.

He sighed, then forced a smile and extended his hand.

"Hello, Attorney Xu."

"Attorney Li told me that you'd be willing to take on this case?"

To be honest, quite a few people wanted to take on this case in Yanzhou.

But the local law firm is really terrible.

Therefore, Yanzhou City wanted to select a lawyer from its pool of lawyers to provide legal aid, but it was clear that there weren't many outstanding lawyers in the pool.

Based on Li Jian's brief description of Xu De, Zhou Jianshan was almost certain that Xu De was the civil litigation agent for the victim Zhang Mushan.

"Hello."

Xu De nodded, then paused, glanced at Sun Hu and Yan Mi beside the other party, and narrowed his eyes.

"Gentlemen... how should we address you?"

Sun Hu paused for a moment, then took three steps forward, revealing a sorrowful smile, and said, "Sun Hu, the boss of 'Hongyang Civil Engineering Construction Company'."

Yan Mi withdrew his scrutinizing gaze and said calmly, "Yan Mi, lawyer from Haicheng."

"Um... Mr. Sun, I will be in charge of the victim's legal proceedings in this case."

Xu De glanced at Zhang Xiuning, who was lying in the ICU ward, seemingly unintentionally.

Then, he turned his gaze to Sun Hu and said directly, "In the future, please discuss things with me first, otherwise... well... it might cause some unnecessary conflicts between us."

"You're right, aren't you?"

He hasn't signed the contract yet.

But in reality, it's no different from signing a contract, since the lawyer Li Jian, who has connections, is on his side, and the other party has the authority to handle Zhang Xiuning's case.

"certainly."

Xu De smiled faintly as he stared at Sun Hu and chuckled, "If a family member dies in an accident, then you don't need to tell me."

talking.

Xu De paused, then raised an eyebrow, chuckled, and gestured for the others to look into the ICU. He sighed, "Like this, tsk, so close, so close, Ms. Zhang would have passed away."

"In this case, the victim, Zhang Mushan, almost lost his family. And almost, without family, there would be no civil lawyer..."

Most people have probably thought about this question.

in case.

If an orphan is murdered, how should the defendant who committed the murder pay compensation?

After all, theoretically, compensation should be paid to the family members, but if there are no family members, how should the civil part, which symbolizes compensation, be handled?

The answer is that, in the absence of close relatives, the compensation is paid to the state, that is, the national treasury.

In other words, even if there are no family members, the murderer still needs to pay compensation and cannot escape civil liability.

But correspondingly.

"Civil liability will become a civil procedure!"

There will be no civil litigation agents, nor will there be any protracted demands. As long as the defendant is willing to pay compensation, then civil litigation is no different from a decoration. The so-called intervention in criminal cases through civil litigation is utter nonsense.

so....

"I almost didn't get to see you all again." Xu De looked at Sun Hu and Yan Mi, filled with emotion.

Sun Hu sighed and shook his head sadly, saying, "I didn't expect the family members to be so emotional."

"Rest assured, Mushan is one of our workers on this construction site. We will not shirk or evade our responsibilities!"

"Although it's not considered a work-related injury, I'm willing to pay compensation privately."

"That's the reason I came here."

talking.

Sun Hu took out his briefcase, unzipped it, and pulled out a file bag from inside.

It's bulging and bulging, worth at least tens of thousands.

"There's 40,000 here, Attorney Xu, please pass it on to the family for me!" Sun Hu said.

forty thousand?

The construction company bears no responsibility whatsoever, and the other party is even willing to pay 40,000 yuan in compensation.

Did he genuinely want to compensate her? Or was he using the pretext of paying compensation to see Zhang Xiuning, ultimately leading to her ending up in a hospital bed?

Xu De was lost in thought, but in the end, he steered the conversation to something else.

"Boss Sun."

"As for the responsibility, since you are willing to take it on, that's perfect, it saves me the trouble of going to the company to find you."

All I saw was...

Xu De laughed and started to take advantage of the other person's kindness, agreeing with what they were saying.

He took the file bag with one hand and grasped the other person's arm with the other.

Although they appear harmonious on the surface, the words they say the next second are incredibly aggressive.

"First of all, I'm a bit forgetful."

"Regarding the laws governing employment on construction sites... Can a person with an intellectual disability be employed on a construction site?"

Xu De smiled and spoke in a gentle tone, but his words clearly indicated that he was there to hold someone accountable.

The words were spoken.

Sun Hu paused slightly, his expression gradually becoming serious, but he didn't say a word.

The law clearly stipulates this.

People with intellectual disabilities are prohibited from working with dangerous equipment, at heights, or near edges, and construction sites are almost never allowed to be entered.

Even if they were admitted, they could only do menial tasks like cleaning.

Zhang Mushan's job title... was bricklaying.

That is, a laborer!

Being responsible for heavy physical labor such as moving bricks, transporting cement, mixing mortar, and cleaning the site is clearly in conflict with the law!

"Mr. Sun, my memory isn't very good, could you please answer my question?"

"Is the construction site liable?" Xu De asked with a smile.

See here.

Sun Hu was taking a deep breath, preparing to say something, when Yan Mi interrupted him first.

"First of all, there are many factors that led Zhang Mushan to work on the construction site."

The lawyer took a deep breath, his face showing bitterness and helplessness, and said, "This kid, Mushan, can understand the logic of words, can do things according to instructions, and has his own thinking."

"Plus, he doesn't have a disability certificate."

"So, when they were hiring, the construction site assumed he was just a stutterer and hired him. It wasn't until the case came to light that Boss Sun realized he was a fool... well, a person with intellectual disabilities."

Fool?

Why don't you just say it directly?

A lawyer wouldn't make this kind of mistake.

Xu De narrowed his eyes, but did not rush to say anything.

Sun Hu looked at Yan Mi with obvious dissatisfaction. "Attorney Yan, you don't need to tell me this."

The words were spoken.

He then gave the police and Xu De a solemn assurance.

"Don't worry, I won't shirk responsibility for this. Since I broke the law, I have to bear the consequences!"

Even if it was violated without my knowledge, a violation is still a violation.

"I will pay the fine voluntarily and rectify the situation at the construction site."

The attitude was...very good.

to be frank.

There is nothing wrong with their attitude.

Furthermore, there's nothing suspicious about the other party. As things stand, every word they say and every expression they make makes them seem like a responsible boss who's willing to take responsibility, admit their mistakes, and accept punishment.

"Is that so? That would be perfect."

Xu De gave him a deep look.

Just as he was about to say something, Xu De suddenly felt his clothes being tugged.

He looked back.

Then Lin Yue gestured with her eyes to the ICU ward.

Xu De followed the gaze and the next second saw Zhang Xiuning, who had woken up at some point. She was staring blankly at the ceiling with her eyes open, her cloudy eyes devoid of any light.

This is....

The patient is awake!

Xu De gave Yang Bing a look, and Yang Bing immediately understood. He then found a nurse and went into the ward with her.

It's obvious they're checking things out while trying to see if they can get the contract signed.

See here.

The top lawyer narrowed his eyes, a thought flashing through his mind, and said, "Now that Ms. Zhang is awake, then Attorney Xu... we'll have to recuse ourselves for now."

"The compensation has been given to you. Please pass it on later. We'll be leaving now."

The words were spoken.

Yan Mi turned around and was about to leave.

For now.

He was completely bewildered by the lawyer who had suddenly appeared in front of him, and was not prepared at all.

And...this person is very aggressive!

The first thing they did upon meeting was to demand accountability before even signing a contract, and they even dug a pit in what seemed like a direct attack on the issue.

If Sun Hu answers incorrectly, the other party is very likely to deduce from certain reactions that there may be hidden details in the case, and thus become suspicious.

They're not even in the same league as Li Jian and Zhang Qian...

"Mr. Sun, let's go."

Yan Mi's eyes flashed, and without hesitation, he turned and prepared to leave with Sun Hu.

Beside him, Zhou Ning looked wary, his breathing rapid. He gave Xu De a deep look, then turned to leave.

Watching their backs as they walked away...

"Wait a moment."

In a daze.

Xu De suddenly spoke, calling out to the person in front of him while he was deep in thought.

He recognized Zhou Ning.

I recognized him from the very beginning!

I'm just too lazy to pay attention to them.

But right now... Sun Hu and Yan Mi are completely unknown to him, and he's letting them leave...

It is highly likely that Yan Mi will learn more accurate information about himself from Zhou Ning.

Thus, with both sides in a state of information asymmetry, there is a high possibility that unfavorable traps may be set up against them later.

In addition...

Two more were hiding in the shadows.

Li Jian had said that the group consisted of four lawyers, but only two are currently present. The whereabouts of the other two are unknown; they may have been secretly dispatched to do other tasks.

Xu De was thinking about it honestly.

In general...

The moment when both sides have just met and have no information at all is the most likely time for information to emerge!

"Attorney Xu, what else do you need?"

Yan Mi frowned as he looked at Xu De, becoming wary.

"It's nothing, I just have something related to Zhu Dali that I'd like to ask Boss Sun."

All I saw was...

Xu De spoke slowly, his gaze falling on Sun Hu.

In a daze.

His gaze suddenly sharpened as he stared intently at the other person, saying, "Boss Sun, I've learned that Zhu Dali has a habit of borrowing money."

"He never pays back the money he borrows, but he doesn't have any bad habits that require money, and he doesn't spend the money he borrows."

"Furthermore, there were no instances of borrowing money before December 2001."

"But after December... Zhu Dali started borrowing money like crazy. Do you think... there's something fishy going on?"

This is..

This is a guess I made just yesterday!?

Behind him, Lin Yue was startled and stared at him in horror.

Won't this...won't this alert the enemy?!

Yes, it would certainly alert the enemy.

But the words came back again.

Xu De's goal was to "stir up trouble and alert the enemy"!

"Whether there's grass or not, just gather a basketful. If you have nothing to hide... then you shouldn't be alarmed. If you are alarmed..."

That would be interesting.

As for hiding it?

Haha, subconscious thoughts and micro-expressions can't be hidden!!!

"Boss Sun, what do you think of Zhu Dali's money-grubbing behavior?"

"Would he do anything for money?"

"even...

""

"Is he even afraid of death?"

The moment the words were spoken.

Sun Hu's heart tightened, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his breathing became slightly heavy.

Xu De narrowed his eyes, seemingly unaware of his strangeness, and his words were like an invisible hand, squeezing the hearts of the group.

"Boss Sun."

What do you think?

The moment the words were spoken.

All eyes turned to Sun Hu, awaiting his answer.
