Doctor, I'm really strong!

Cheng Jiali immediately replied, "Yes, according to my investigation, the biggest characteristic of this company is that it is rich. They are merchants who came from Ursus. They are most likely impoverished nobles with some capable men under their command. Relying on their past accumulation with the northern barbarians, they have now come to Lungmen to beg for food. They are not to be feared."

John asked curiously, "Just having money is enough to buy the entire Sixth District, and it even came with the personal signature of Governor Wei Yanwu. Do you think that's so simple?"

Cheng Jiali said confidently, “Sir John, you know the situation in the Sixth District. It’s a gathering place for a bunch of lowly people, and there are a lot of them. It’s very troublesome to deal with. Governor Wei Yanwu probably doesn’t want to get his hands dirty. Now that a fool has paid to buy that kind of dilapidated land and built it up, he is naturally very happy.”

John still felt something was off, but the information provided by Cheng Jiali was comprehensive and fully proved that what he said was true. There was no problem with it at all, and his loyalty was not in question. John was just picking on the problem based on his intuition, which was obviously a bit like deliberately finding fault.

Moreover, regardless of the outcome of this investment, Cheng Jiali will eventually bring up the share belonging to the Swire family, as well as his own filial piety gift, so he will be guaranteed to profit from both sides.

Money can be tempting, and seeing no problems and with benefits to himself, John decided to support Cheng Jiali's actions.

“Cheng, your plan seems to be flawless. A small company dares to challenge Swire Group. It seems we haven’t made a move for too long, causing the newcomers to forget our strength. It’s necessary to make them understand their weakness again.”

Cheng Jiali was overjoyed, knowing that the matter had been accomplished, and immediately bowed to John, saying, "Yes, sir John."

Section 49: Don't mess with medical students

Since a lawsuit was to be filed, a lawyer was needed, so Liu Jiuli went directly to Kal'tsit to ask for one.

The method is very simple and direct: find Kal'tsit, then hold out your hand: "Give me a lawyer."

Kal'tsit was speechless: "Do you think I'm an omnipotent wish-granting machine?"

Liu Jiuli: "No, I think of you as Doraemon."

Kal'tsit frowned: "I feel like you're implying something about me."

Liu Jiuli: "That's your misconception. Anyway, I'm about to file a lawsuit, and it just so happens that the lawyer for Future Technology is a part-time lawyer for Rhodes Island's legal department. He can come and help out, and the compensation is guaranteed."

Kal'tsit replied, "Alright then, I'll go."

Liu Jiuli was stunned: "You?"

Kal'tsit stared at him and asked, "What, am I not good enough?"

Liu Jiuli was shocked: "Are you a lawyer?!"

Kal'tsit tilted her head back: "I took the exam when I was bored. It's the Victoria International Lawyer's License. Is that okay?"

Liu Jiuli gave a thumbs up: "Awesome o(￣▽￣)d."

Indeed, the world of academic superstars is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Your hardships are nothing compared to what others do. Some people are born to make others despair.

This damn world.

Liu Jiuli: "But one person isn't enough. We need two more, at least to form a team."

Kal'tsit: "You want to get two team members? The medical department has some."

Then Liu Jiuli saw Ya Ye and Su Su Luo.

The former is Kal'tsit's student. Her mother once appeared at a game event, and incidentally, Kal'tsit also attended the event in women's and men's clothing.

Susuluo, a legal loli, has a maturity that doesn't match her appearance. She looks cute, but she's actually an old auntie.

The Terrans are generally young, since as long as they don't get Oripathy and have plenty of food, it's easy for them to live for hundreds of years. Unfortunately, the vast majority of them don't live to the end of their normal lifespan, let alone their theoretical lifespan.

Fun fact: The maximum lifespan for people infected with Oripathy is 100 years.

Even with active treatment, it's really a case of waiting to die no matter how hard you try; the difference is between a suspended death sentence and immediate execution.

For the vast majority of ordinary people, it would be a miracle to live for ten to twenty years after contracting Oripathy without an acute attack.

In a sense, the Terrans are quite physically fit.

Looking at the two medical operatives in front of him, Liu Jiuli asked with a hint of curiosity, "You two didn't just casually pass the bar exam, did you?"

Susulu shook her head: "I studied law for two years first."

Aya said, "I'm studying medicine and law at the same time, which was Kal'tsit's suggestion."

Holy crap (‵o′)凸! Two years, and some of you even did it as a side program. Can't you guys show a little respect for your major? Do you even know how thick the medical textbooks are? Others read books by the book, but you read them by the pound! There are so many professional books that you could bury someone alive, plus those life-or-death exams. The world of academic superstars is truly incomprehensible.

Okay, this professional team is pretty good. They not only understand the law, but they can also punish annoying enemies without harming their bodies when necessary. They are also very good at fighting. They are all-rounders.

On the other side, Cheng Jiali of Swire Group immediately laughed after learning about the future technology's countermeasures.

As expected of these rootless barbarians from the north, they have no underhanded tactics whatsoever. Do they really think that relying on the law in Longmen will give you so-called fairness? Let me tell you, fairness is reserved for us rich folks. You're just a bunch of idiots.

This sense of superiority, realizing that he had already won half the battle, made Cheng Jiali very happy. Since the other party was going through the proper procedures, he had to show his support as well. Although the means to make the other party back down would definitely not be in court, as the stronger party, playing games with the poor little cats and dogs was also one of the pleasures.

As for whether the other party would overturn the table, Cheng Jiali wasn't worried at all.

If you dare to challenge the Swire Group in Longmen, do you think you're some kind of natural disaster? Believe me, we'll scatter your ashes within three days.

In addition to dealing with the opposing legal team, Cheng Jiali also instructed the security department and gang members under the Swire Group to be prepared. Strong people need to act efficiently; dragging things out would be too unsightly. The courtroom game is just to embarrass the other party; the real trump cards are outside.

Compared to so-called reasoning, directly unplugging the network cable is more effective.

Upon learning that Future Technology and Swire Group were at odds, Wei Yanwu immediately contacted Liu Jiuli, mainly because he was worried that if Liu Jiuli got angry, he would destroy Swire Group, and Wei Yanwu, as the Governor of Longmen, would be in a difficult position to deal with.

Whether or not it can be stopped is one thing, whether or not to do it is another. Just take action first, throw away most of the responsibility, and if the court really holds you accountable, you can just throw away the evidence, lie on the ground, and say, "I did my best, do whatever you want." That will be enough to satisfy both superiors and subordinates.

An official may not need to learn anything else, but he must be a master of Indian roti.

When Liu Jiuli received the call from Wei Yanwu, he knew what Wei Yanwu wanted to say as soon as the other party spoke.

Back then, when the department heads in my workplace didn't want to take responsibility but were helpless, they all used this kind of tone of communication. However, Wei Yanwu's way of expressing himself was more subtle, with a lot of rhetoric in between, which fully demonstrated the excellent literary skills of the Governor of Longmen, making Sir Humphrey exclaim that he was an expert.

After saying all this, Wei Yanwu also expressed his own attitude.

If Liu Jiuli wants his help, he will do his duty without hesitation. He must give him face; it's not easy to earn favors from super strong individuals, so he must seize the opportunity.

If Liu Jiuli doesn't have this need, then Wei Yanwu will remain neutral. In any case, he won't let Future Technology suffer any injustice. If Taikoo Group oversteps its bounds, the laws of Longmen are not to be trifled with. This can be considered as indirectly supporting Future Technology.

Hey, look how respectful I am, boss, shouldn't you take it easy when you make your move? This little temple of Longmen can't withstand the might of a natural disaster.

Since Governor Wei has been so accommodating, Liu Jiuli naturally has to reciprocate in kind.

"Don't worry, future technologies will only retaliate in kind, they won't break the rules."

This is to tell Wei Yanwu that we follow the rules, but we cannot let ourselves suffer losses. If Swire Group courts disaster, then when I really take action, you'd better pretend you didn't see it, otherwise you will bear the consequences.

It provides face, a warning, and a sense of proportion—a satisfactory answer.

Given Liu Jiuli's formidable influence, Wei Yanwu was satisfied with the agreement. As for whether Liu Jiuli could actually carry it out...

If he doesn't comply, what can I do? But doing so would overdraw the credibility of Rhodes Island, the Red Guards, and Future Tech. The hidden costs are unacceptably high, even if they aren't immediately apparent.

At this point, it depends on whether Liu Jiuli is the kind of person with strategic vision. In a sense, this is another way for others to evaluate him.

A powerful but reckless person is troublesome, but not impossible to deal with. A decisive person with strong resolve and overwhelming strength is the most intimidating. No matter where such a person is, as long as he exists, those around him must show him respect.

Thus, the preliminary preparations of both sides were basically completed, and the first battle would take place in court.

Section 50: Being a doctor is truly a terrifying profession.

"In conclusion, the problem is not with future technology, but with Swire Group."

After Ya Ye's rebuttal, the lawyer from the Swire Group was speechless and could only stammer.

In the dock, Liu Jiuli served as a mere background figure, watching the three brilliant lawyers who had casually passed the bar exam while studying medicine show off, while only the lawyer from Swire Group was getting beaten up.

During the debate, Sussurro, Aya, and Kal'tsit took turns attacking, like Ainz Ooal Gown storming into a beginner's village, refuting the opposing side and making their game experience completely unbearable.

The most formidable opponent here is Kal'tsit. Sussurro and Aya are still considered refined medical staff, and their exposure to legal knowledge is sufficient. Their rebuttals to the other side's accusations are all based on legal provisions. But Kal'tsit has a wealth of life experience and a high level of mental agility. You young people think you can challenge me?

Get out of my way, I'm going to take on a hundred of them!

Kal'tsit can easily seize the loopholes in the opponent's arguments, then relentlessly attack them, refuting them until they wish they could sew their mouths shut. She will also deliberately set up linguistic traps to lure the opponent into a trap, and then use entrapment tactics.

Kal'tsit's extensive knowledge base gives her a wide range of offensive options, and she can even come up with over thirty dialect versions from more than a dozen countries. The Victorian-born judge at the Lungmen Court was stunned, never expecting to hear such an authentic hometown accent here, and it was even from her grandfather's generation.

If it weren't for the ongoing court hearing, he would have wiped away his tears, bought Kal'tsit a drink, and reminisced about his childhood.

This performance is not surprising at all. Don't forget, these three are all warriors who can carve out a niche for themselves in the medical field by holding books that are comparable to weapons. Doctors need experience, skills and knowledge, while lawyers need experience, knowledge and flexibility. Compared to doctors who study medicine, lawyers have it easier. It's just memorizing books. My medical books could build a building. What's a mere criminal law code?

Look at the amazing achievements of a certain doctor surnamed Zhou after switching to literature; it shows how awesome the medical profession is.

In contrast, the lawyers from the Swire Group were like a group of babies facing a giant, capable of nothing but whimpering. Their so-called rebuttals were weak and ineffective, and they were often caught out by Kal'tsit, who would hurl insults at them in dialects without using any vulgar language. These insults were delivered in authentic Sichuan and Guizhou accents, causing the opposing side to break down completely, shouting and yelling in court, and eventually being dragged out by the guards.

After that, Kal'tsit did not speak again, but the reduced number of members in the Taikoo Group's legal team were all like quails. Even when faced with Sussuro and Aya's professional speeches, they were all as wilted as frostbitten eggplants.

The outcome of this court debate left Cheng Jiali dumbfounded. He had thought it was San Dezi's blitzkrieg in Western Europe, but it turned out to be the Führer's self-destruction in Berlin. Not only did the legal team make a huge mistake, but the judge in Longmen also completely ruled that Future Technology was innocent.

In short, the verdict can be summarized as: Swire Group has eaten too much salt – it's too salty.

This outcome is clearly unacceptable to Cheng Jiali. Our Cheng family was bullied when we didn't have Victoria back then, and now that we have Victoria, we're still being bullied. What's the point of our investment?

Having determined that official channels were impossible to succeed with, and with Wei Yanwu showing absolutely no willingness to help, and with official channels completely inaccessible, Cheng Jiali felt he should resort to the capital card.

However, there's a small problem here. Neither Future Tech, Rhodes Island, nor the Red Guard are publicly listed companies, which means that asset acquisitions are out of the question.

But mature capitalists are always exceptionally gifted in their ability to commit serious crimes. It's time to put those thugs that Longmen Taigu Group usually keeps to good use and teach those ignorant Ursus barbarians a lesson!

In Cheng Jiali's view, since his master looked down on the Ursus people, he also had the right to look down on them. Those barbarians were no match for civilized people, and this operation was bound to be a great success.

In a sense, Cheng Jiali's plan was indeed successful; his gang members successfully infiltrated the Sixth District. However, what happened next caused Cheng Jiali to break down his defenses.

Having been in Longmen for three months and feeling that the basic setup was complete, Liu Jiuli began to reorganize the workers he had cultivated, aiming to transform them into a new era of workers with ideals, hope, dignity, and faith. So he decided to hold a small meeting to discuss this issue, which he named the "Complaint Meeting."

As it turns out, the results of the grievance meetings were extremely significant.

The gangsters from the Taikoo Group who infiltrated District Six first got recruited into the Future Technology factory, then quickly became lost in the delicious food in the cafeteria, and were then overwhelmed by various tests. By the time they finally gained a foothold, they had completely forgotten their mission. After all, the little money their boss gave them was really not worth the effort they put in.

But they were, after all, undercover agents who had infiltrated the area. If they were discovered, they might be executed. Amidst this conflicted and hesitant mood, the grievance session began.

Ordinary people understand a "complaint session" as a gathering where everyone talks about how unlucky they are. The idea is that happiness is all the same, but misfortune comes in all shapes and sizes and crosses the line of human nature. This way, people can resonate with each other and then become aware of their situation.

People who think this way aren't entirely wrong, but they simply haven't grasped the concept. If simply describing suffering could have such power, then religion could have a similar effect; they could even grant you a wish for heaven after death.

In reality, in a repressive environment, most people will develop a "resigned" mindset. This mindset may not seem serious at first glance, but under the influence of the overall environment, it can lead everyone to give up on themselves, turning resistance into venting, and completely lacking the qualities that a people's army should possess.

Who told you to be born in XXX? Who told you to be born into a poor family? Who told you to be born into the wrong family? And that's how my life is going to be. Failure is inevitable, I will definitely fail. I'll just live one day at a time.

For a mob without organization or beliefs, they will side with whoever wins.

So the key point is never "why are there people protecting such a terrible world", but how we can unite others under one banner to truly change this damn world.
